BubbleChat's Epic Makeover

Although the new bubble chat is aesthetically pleasing, it really is focusing on one genre, in this case, more cartoony. But, in some games you need a quick reaction, sharp boxes, and static movement, and this doesn’t really help that. If we can have customly made bubble chats, that would be great. For example, if you wanted to change the background image you can do something like:

game:GetService("ChatService"):SetBubbleChatImageId("0000000000")

If we can customise the bubble chat it would be nice, these are some things you might consider: ImageAssetId
Custom Font
Offset(Offset from the head in Vector3 )
Sound(Played when chatted)


Overall this is a great feature, keep improving Roblox!

Exciting stuff! :slight_smile:

We’re interested in joining the closed beta: [🎃] Rogue Lineage - Roblox

Just out of curiosity - will it be possible to change the corners on the bubbles? Some games might look better with a more square bubble.

Sweet update, I would like to use this in my games and see other games use it as the Bubble Chat as it looks so much more modern and with the tweening when zoomed out and in, it’s just so good! I do wish the chat got a make-over…

Question: Would it be possible to add in gradients for text or the background itself? I would like to see gradients have more use to the chat Engine and other components!

Another Question: When will a change to the chat be available anytime? I feel like it’s a bit too bland with the Bubble Chat improvement/makeover, would love an answer to that. :smile:

Quick Question: Will we get the chance of having the setting to disable/enable Bubble Chat and Classic Chat?

Here are my Place ID(s) as I would love to test this out: 5367051423 & 5685712549

Opinion on it being a CoreScript: no
Opinion on it being based on Roact: no

Just gonna dump the current BubbleChat before it gets removed.

The animationbs look pretty slick tho.

image but this clipping issue triggers me

What about an option to enable something that makes it so that theres a bubble displayed with (…) whilst a player is typing.

Also great update,

This is great, but, will the chat itself get a makeover as well? It’s been the same for over 4 years, so love applied to bubblechat would be great if applied to the chat itself too :slight_smile:

Something that stood out in that video - could you fix those grey edges on the images?

Will the bubblechat on old places be automatically updated to this version?

Speaking of bubble background color, it would be cool if there was a bubble background stroke so that the bubble can look more neat!!

Here is an example of a bubble having a “neon blue” background stroke:

I’m not a fan of the minimize/hidden distance. I work at a few places as a Middle Rank and I need to see if anybody is trolling in the distance, but with this I can’t.

Question: How would you change the color of the text?

Whilst I appreciate all the time and effort that went into this, I have to ask - is it really necessary? The current BubbleChat works fine (or did until the recent text cutting bug emerged) and I’m not sure anybody was really interested in a new version. Just feels like the time that went into it could’ve been better spent on other features.

EDIT: Can we also get clarification on if Dialogs will change to the new style if enabled (and if so, I would hope the old/current Dialog style is triggered if you have a fork of the old BubbleChat script)?
