Thank you for these great tools! I’m getting mixed results using the Photo booth however. When I add custom backgrounds, they appear fine in studio, but then only the default backgrounds appear in the published game :tired_face:.
Also, the documentation says to use 16:9 ratio for best results for custom backgrounds, however only 1:1 ratio actually fits right without stretching (which is fine, just making a note). Anyone else having these issues?

Yeah, actually I like it, doesn’t limit users to certain emotes, they can generate some patterns like pressing one emote then another quickly giving an energetic/excited feel.

#72

How will the emote bar integrate with tools? I want to use it but I have too many tools which are base of the game.

#73

Is there a way to change the backgrounds and fonts for the countdown for the photo booth? I have been trying to change it to no effort.

Thank you for testing out the PhotoBooth! We were able to reproduce this issue and will be looking into it.

16:9 was the ratio we found was the best for an image to be displayed on a wide range of devices (from the living room TV all the way to a phone in portrait mode). However its just a suggestion and you are free to use what is best for your experiences!

Currently the countdown is not able to be customized. If you would like to try poking around in the code to customize the countdown yourself, I would suggest looking at PhotoBooth.ReplicatedStorage.PhotoBooth.Components.Countdown

Hello! Currently adjusting the properties for the Emote Bar like this is not well supported, apologies for the issues you are facing! We are looking to provide a better method for developers to take control of how the UI we provide through Dev Modules can be displayed in upcoming versions.

Very cool! Some customization would be nice, for colour and shape of some UI objects, but it’s still a great feature!

Hey @LucidPolygon, they actually are in the toolbox and are completely optional + customizable for you to use (or not) as you wish! You can find direct links to each of the assets and documentation on how to use them in the original post.

Just adding on to @SolarCrane’s response. The emote speed changing as you press the emote button (aka “Tempo”) can be disabled with by setting useTempo to false in a LocalScript.

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local EmoteBar = require(ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("EmoteBar"))
     
EmoteBar.configureClient({
    useTempo = false
 })

You can learn more about the tempo feature here: Emote Bar | Roblox Creator Documentation

Thanks ComplexLint! I hope this helps, Lagnis7859.

The photobooth module needs to go further and let users screenshot and post to twitter/smedia/roblox friends feed so that I, as a developer, can get viral traffic.

I don’t understand what the point is right now.
