Give developers ability to edit/change pixels on player's screens

Feature Requests Engine Features
1

Right now, as a developer, i can say that changing colors is a big problem for textures, or surface appearances, for example if i want to change red texture to green, its going to multiply both of these colors and i get brown, i want to change pixels on the screen, not the color of the screen it self(if you want to deny my request because of similar topics).

Besides that problem with textures and surface appearances, there is also a problem when making effects, sometimes its a problem where you cant fix some problem with particles, or you want to make them look better so if this idea sounds good, please implement it, as it would help developers make better looking experiences, like making shaders, and you cant do that just by setting frames, because its hard and it will lag too much.

(sorry for my bad english, im still learning it)

This exact same feature request has been duplicate posted so many times at this point.

I doubt they’ll add GPU programming because malicious devs will use it for horrible purposes.

They’ve already expressed that it’s at least on the table and not completely ruled out as a possibility.

5

Oh what? But I mean can’t just bad devs use it to make it uneasy for people? Or something?

im not really talking about shaders, im talking about a new feature that could change roblox graphics, these posts are just pointing out shaders

7

that will be the same thing if they used frames(with size of a pixel) to make it

8

I’m talking about the fact that developers can overload the GPU.

9

oh… but i mean about the display(or render engine), not the gpu it self.

Ohh. Okay sorry my bad.

When Reapimus quoted the post “GPU Programming” I thought your post was similar to it.

Your post implies you want the ability to alter what is being rendered to the screen. Doing this via a script that manually writes to individual pixels on the screen would be horribly inefficient and laggy, which is why I pointed out the numerous feature requests regarding GPU programming because this is what you’d actually want for real-time manipulation of what is happening on-screen.

If what you are after is the ability to create custom static textures via scripts (which you seem to vaguely mention but it’s unclear if that’s the actual focus of your feature request), then that is already possible via EditableImage.

static? no, i just want to make new effects, shaders, and just spice up the gameplay, make it look better.

13

So then WHAT exactly do you mean? In one post you’re saying shaders isn’t what you want and now suddenly you are saying shaders is what you want.

14

nahh, i mean the shaders is not the only thing i want, i want effects, easy to change colors(if you dont have an app to do that)

15

that’s a shader :+1:
