You can now upload rbxm’s and rbxmx’s directly to https://rovird.xyz if you want to. Uploaded files are deleted as soon as they are read and processed (assuming no errors occur). I’m not sure if there is actually a use for this, but in case anyone wants it, that option is available.
I wanted to upload a short video on the website which you can find here:
https://rovird.xyz/assets/Rovird.mp4
It goes over how to use it properly and what it’s capable of.

I just pushed a small update to the API that should fix an issue with some assets causing an error and returning malformed data. That should no longer happen. Though some assets can’t be downloaded, these will be flagged as such.
I was thinking of making a chrome/firefox extension that would be able to scan assets directly from the library. If this is something you’d be interested in, let me know as it’s a bit of a time commitment. Just know with things like extensions it is extremely important you get them from reputable sources. Meaning if/when I do make it, you should only ever go to the link from this post. If you don’t it can possibly be a clone. And as the other things on this project, it will be open source and you will be able to load it from its unpacked state.
This is really cool, never seen anything like it!

Roblox is finally catching on, though I don’t think they scan it for you for malicious code, this still is a big step to protecting your games built right into the engine and studio:
As an aside and follow up to my last comment, I do have a rudimentary extension done, but honestly I don’t know if it’s worth releasing because of the potential negatives extensions come with, but it looks like this right now:

I decided to just put the extension on a github. I don’t really want to pay the fee to put something on the chrome store regardless, so if you want to use this, you’ll have to load it as an unpacked extension.
It can be found here: GitHub - steven4547466/Rovird-Extension.
All it does is add that extra button to the end of the more options tab that was shown in the video in the above comment, and you can inspect the source code.
To download it, click the green Code button and download it as a zip, then extract it. Once you extract it head over to chrome://extensions (if on chrome) click on Load Unpacked and select the folder. Once you do that it should be working.
The button just opens the website in a new tab and automatically searches for it in the library. Perhaps in the future I will make it not directly take you to the website, but for now this should be fine as a quick way to use Rovird directly from the Roblox Library.
Edit (so it doesn’t bump):
I’m aware of a false-positive that happens when you call a function inside of a require. I’m working on good ways to fix this and still detect unwanted requires that may be harmful.

This is simply great.
I haven’t used antivirus plugins before and this will probably be the first one and the best one I’ll ever use in future.

I’ll look into it, the server may have gone offline. Thank you for reporting
Hm, mine seems to work:
If you want to send me a private message with a little bit of information about the hierarchy of your game I’ll see what I can do.
I’ve added a secondary json encoder if the primary json encoder doesn’t work. This means there shouldn’t be issues if roblox’s json encode is encoding things incorrectly. However it is a little slower than roblox’s json encode, which is why it’s only used when it’s needed.

Hey, I’m unsure if this project is still supported, but I’m getting an error 525 when trying to visit rovird.xyz over HTTPS:
As the top of this lists, I don’t host rovird anymore, if you want to use it you’ll need to clone the website from github and run it from your computer and set the host in the plugin to localhost. There’s instructions in the post:

Even though the project is deprecated, will it still be updated?
If there’s a need to update it, maybe, but I’m pretty busy at the moment.
