Blueberry v1.11 — A new way to display punishments

[InfiniteBlackPIX (1Luca)]

Blueberry will not be discontinued because it works as expected and people are okay with it. We give our best to keep it alive.
Atherum had indeed a negative response, but we still won’t discontinue it unless there is an unfixable bug that we can’t find a solution for. All we did was publish an article about what we had in mind when we started it.

Im gonna leave you guys alone since you clearly have a lack of proffesionalism when it comes to managing your projects.

If you aren’t good enough for the Community Resources category, just dont use it.

[InfiniteBlackPIX (1Luca)]

Thanks for the detailed, yes disrespectful opinion. Let me explain.

Telling people not to use it is literally conflictual. Many developers use it and it works great for them.

First things first; Blueberry was my very first product. I published it because I found it nice and because I was proud of it.

I am not gonna lie, it works very well. Despites the bad and useless usage of scripts.

@AwesomePIays

The Warning/Ban UI looks god awful (no offense) - orange text does not fit on a black backdrop, and is a total eyesore to any potential players.

Sad. People can change it. That’s the point. In fact, the UI is only meant to be an example.

@AwesomePIays

Though, if you are not fluent in English, this is acceptable, but I would still advise you get a translator who can speak the language fluently to avoid making a fool of yourself on a public forum.

Blueberry is distributed for free. Meaning I won’t pay a translator for a few lines or text. Again, the UI is meant to be an example. As you might have or might have not notices, some people actually made their own UI. I’ll consider hiring a translator if I ever make profit.

@AwesomePIays

The actual panel looks horrible, a light-green background with white text is not complimentary and is a total eye-sore;

It’s all about taste. Many people liked it. Additionally, the panel wasn’t even planed. Blueberry was meant to be API-based only.

@AwesomePIays

Any half-decent exploiter can just remove the LocalScript supposedly preventing you from “removing the ui” - to mitigate this, you should instead teleport them to a new place - bans are therefore meaningless;

I basically explained this 12 times now. The UI can be bypassed and there is no way to avoid it. However, the exploiter’s character will still be removed and their chat will be muted. You will probably say that this isn’t enough, but it is if your RemoteEvents are getting checked on the server.

@AwesomePIays

There are a number of extremely basic errors, which shows the lack of your experience, such as warning requested ... for a permanent ban button, which is visible in your ‘showcase’ - Showcases are supposed to be used for showing how well your product works, not showing off a poorly-tested panel that has conflicting text;

That literally doesn’t matter. But okay, I’ll agree with you on this one.

@AwesomePIays

Describing your product as the ‘new way to moderate’ is extremely over-ambitious, and is partially misleading; why do you have fifty UIs sitting in random scripts, this is horrible practice; and

It was a concept, an idea of a new way to display punishments. Again, I published this as my first model. Obviously the “scripting practice” wasn’t amazing.

@AwesomePIays

Your scripting practices are god-awful, you check for three seperate types just when attempting to see if a UserID was entered , instead of just checking it against an ID for whatever reason? See

At that time, it was the only way I personally could do it. Now, I could probably make everything inside 2 scripts. However, I don’t see a problem with that.

Claiming that memory usage is high is unfair. It isn’t high. You can check that.

I will not change a whole set of scripts just because you and a few other don’t like it. Blueberry works wonderful for so many users.

Thanks again.

I’m just shocked at the amount of hate you’re getting. Like wow.

Getting a translator for a few lines when you don’t make profit is a horrible idea. Also, you aren’t a fool if you can’t speak English fluently when it isn’t obviously your native language. Don’t judge people on their ability to speak a foreign language, that’s ridiculous.

That’s where we agree. Although it seems like the developers like the theme for the UI, which is absolutely fine. You are free to love what you want.

This claim was so said many times that it feel useless. However, UIs are unsafe by nature, but blueberry seems to solve this by removing any interaction between the server and the suspect.

I agree with the points you brought about the scripting practices that were used in blueberry.

While I can understand the fact that awesome’s reply can be seen as disrespectful (in fact, I remember flagging his second reply because it was inappropriate), I still agree with the fact that blueberry is bloated with many scripts that shouldn’t exist. I suggest you to redo it while considering awesome’s scripting-practices-related points, it would be better for you and your studio’s reputation, not only the consumers.

We have released a rewritten version of the system to end everyone’s concerns about optimization, style, and security;

Stumbled upon this again and I hope that it falls under “personal use.”

[doqe_wow (doqe)]

Will blueberry have any sort of global ban server/or personalized pastebin? (like a hosted http server that the person using Blueberry sets up or using the Pastebin API)

[InfiniteBlackPIX (1Luca)]

I have never thought of that, but sine Blueberry is open-sourced, anyone can add that feature for themselves. The reason is mainly because a shared ban list isn’t used often.

[NotBugle (PinguLovesYou)]

The UI needs a rework, its a nice UI just kinda hard to see buttons and text with the green,white color scheme

[InfiniteBlackPIX (1Luca)]

Thanks! Consider checking Blueberry Plus as well. The UI was reworked in that version.

[ItzKeyon (Keyon)]

Blueberry is perfect for moderation! I have added it to my game as our secondary moderation system. I suggest using it if you have not.

[InfiniteBlackPIX (1Luca)]

Thanks for the positive feedback. Glad to hear you like it. If you’re looking for an optimized version, you can always check Blueberry Plus.

[CredibleScripter (Someonehere)]

It’s amazing but the UI needs improvement.

[InfiniteBlackPIX (1Luca)]

Thanks. Blueberry Plus has an improved UI;

Cant you just make it visible false on the gui or just unable? Or the hacker could delete all the files once with a script?

[InfiniteBlackPIX (1Luca)]

As mentioned about a 100 times before, the UI keeps getting cloned every 5 seconds. Even if the exploiter would delete the UI, they wouldn’t be able to interact with the rest of the server as their character would be deleted and their chat muted. There are obviously other things that they can do to harm the game. To patch this issue, we published Blueberry Plus (linked above).

[iSophes (Sophie)]

Hey, are you able to make a public github repo so people can contribute to the project? I’m sure there are many people, including myself that would appreciate that!

[InfiniteBlackPIX (1Luca)]

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll definitely consider and I’ll notify you once I do!

[iSophes (Sophie)]

You’re welcome! Thanks man! Open source software should definitely have a github for contributors. Plus it makes your software look more professional imo.
