Electron has it’s own moderation system in where you can indeed report people, and we do not allow behavior against the Roblox TOS. it is a successor to Roblox Chat Simulator 2 which has existed for almost 4 years now without issue.
The thing is that Roblox has allowed developers to make such custom chat systems. If they really want to moderate it more, they may as well, improve their filters? We have relied in our own filters (on top of Roblox’s) to moderate, which most of the time works better than Roblox’s, because of the many chat bypasses that are not fixed.
I also don’t see how migrating to TextChatService will make it any better. If we could really officially report people from messages on a custom chat system, we would probably have a Crosswoods situation again
Agreed; I have adonis plug-ins where I have a personal admin accouncement command, and also Moderator chat tags for people alongside with it…
I am still unsure and have yet to have found a working compromise for it…
I really am disappointed and saddened if I am forced to having to remove that feature, as it was made to be used within adonis…
I doubt there is any possible workaround, but if there is, do keep me posted, cause I’m wanting to be able to implement updates to my plugin module in order to maintain it, since it’s been defunct since the fact we had to transition over anyways.
EDIT: (late response, apologies.)
as long as you follow the guidelines of textchatservice it will be fine, using the filter method of this will probably differ on filtering based on age and verification status (maybe also device?)
Studio chat got removed now. Where are the promised annotations and comments? If you remove a thing in exhange for something better, maybe actually add the other thing or otherwise wait with removing the first one. Currently there is no way to communicate within studio.
Does anybody know if it will still be possible to change the chat message length limit after this? I urgently need to be able to increase it for my game’s concept to work.
I am aswell. This is purely ridiculous. I already hated text chat service to begin with, too ugly, basic. Too ridiculous to get used to, auto fill. legacy chat worked fine.
Why though? Why can’t you guys just do it? You’re a multibillion dollar company after all, 90% of developers have less than 1% of the value of Roblox combined.
Wow, you’re right for once.
Why? We don’t need to fix what isn’t broken.
Worst decision ever.
What if games aren’t being updated anymore? Take TreeLands for exasmple, let’s assume the devs don’t add TextchatService, and the game can’t auto migrate, you’re just going to disable the chat? What if that fails as well?
Screwing a lot of developers over, wow. nice one. What about game like RetroStudio, where they use custom chats?
Also, why not just update team chat to comply with parental controls? Comments/annotation within the workspace itself can be very intrusive and… guess what… TEXTLABELS CAN ALREADY DO IT, all without the annoying filtering. Why should we use whatever you manage to replace this with over TextLabels. Are you gonna filter TextLabels now or what??? (this is not rhetorical)
Better yet- scripts. We can communicate in scripts without a filter. Are you going to prohibit people with parental controls from editing a script??
Did any thought go into this decision, and if so, why has it come to this conclusion? I expect answers.
Same here. This is a massive problem. Some developers did communicate to others with the now deprecated team chat without any external software. It was pretty useful, but having it removed shouldn’t be the correct move. That’s why I’m going out of my way just to make a better team chat implementation so us developers can speak with others again.
It already did comply with parental controls, if you had the option where you were not allowed to talk to friends, you could not talk. Maybe its a certain new parental control they want to use.
But yes, it should be implemented instead of removing the entire chat
I get that you want to migrate, but to remove it? You could have just forced all games (Focus on non-updated games) to switch to it and have them (Updated games) switch back if they didn’t like it or something like that.
I can’t communicate with my developer friends, besides the private message feature on the ROBLOX website.
and which brings me to my questions that I have the following is about the studio chat system.
1. how do you even configure the chat in studio if it’s out?
2. and if it’s not out yet, why on earth did you all deprecate the legacy studio chat?
just when I thought the features or updates on this site couldn’t get stranger, I get disappointed.
could any of you help me with the replacement, is this feature even up? or do I have to chat on a third-party site until it comes out?
I’m probably not the only one annoyed at this update, I genuinely have no other words to say about this update, it’s just not needed, moreover it limits the developers for this small period with no communication at all, without even a replacement for the old team create studio chat.
and after looking at the comments here, seems like I’m not the only one that’s annoyed.
you are a multibillion-dollar corporation and yet you can’t even give us an alternative, or better yet!
have the legacy chat still be in operation until the new and HOPEFULLY improved chat system comes.
could someone who is a developer on the new system give me a blunt as the front face of a hammer answer that is straight to the point when it comes to this.
