It manages newly added elements by getting descendents added:
This section checks for any elements added to the game and converts them to scale.
This plugin will not manage existing items unless you press the button:
In this situation, only when you press the button will it turn all the GUIs to scale.
I understand the preference for offset defaulted objects. I would like to emphasize that even if you plan on making separate GUIs for different devices, using scale can be beneficial to adapt to when users minimize their screens.
All Roblox GUI elements support scaling, and many popular games like Bloxburg and jailbreak use it!
Are you trying to copy and steal from AutoScale using their own name and assets on purpose?
Name
The original AutoScale Lite has 1,000+ votes and 4,000+ favorites so we can assume it’s pretty well established name.
Similarly your name is Auto Scale 2.0 which seems like a deliberate choice to mislead users by using a name established by @ZacBytes as apart of his AutoScale series.
Banner
Another thing is that the banner from this very post are exactly the same to AutoScale Lite:
Your banner is literally says “AutoScale Lite” and not “AutoScale 2.0” and is a 1:1 copy from his DevForum post
It seems like you have just cropped AutoScale’s icon and adjusted the colors hoping no one would notice
Code
Openly you state that it uses AutoScale’s code to which from my knowledge is not open-source nor has any license permitting you to use their code.
To recap this plugin steals the following assets from AutoScale:
Name
Icon
Code
Banner
It more or less seems like you are trying to copy AutoScale from @ZacBytes. Even if you had permission, I don’t think that they would intend you using their name, icon, and banner passing it as yours with no credit, link, or disclaimer that to the actual owners.
Why would anyone want all of of their UI to be set to scale? Have you used this yourself?
I would much rather just use the actual autoscale plugin where I can specifically choose which UI has what.
Did you get any actual permission to use AutoScales code and “brand”? If I was them I wouldnt be happy if someone took my plugin, added 20 lines of code for something useless, then called the original outdated.
He isn’t interested into auto scaling plugins because using scaled UI instead of responsive UI is a horrible idea
This is a worse version of AutoScale, It’s better to select a specific item to be set to “Scale” than making everything set to “Scale”, Why would you steal the code, banner, icon and name from AutoScale, modify it and call the original “outdated”? [like what @baseparts said]
Using Scale over offset is beneficial to adapt to different screen sizes. For example, games like bloxburg and jailbreak use it to make sure that their GUI stays consistent on all screens.
Even if you plan to make GUI dedicated to each device, using scale can help ensure that your GUI stays correctly fitted even if they minimize the roblox application.
As for whether i use this plugin, i do. I’ve been a game developer for 4 years now and I’ve created projects such as furry detector 2.0 with 4 million visits. I’ve incorporated my plugin through some new games I’m working on and as mentioned I’ve tested it thoroughly.
It is better to use this in combination with AutoScale Lite and not to fully replace it. It getting everything could easily mess up a ton of things.
It’s also not really cool to advertise something better than something even though your straight up stealing the thing you’re claiming to be better.
You stealing AutoScale Lite’s entire brand, is also not a good idea and can be seen as scummy. Imagine you release a Plus! version for robux is gonna be seen as profiting off of someone elses work and is gonna tarnish your reputation
You are stealing AutoScale Lite, it is majorly apparent based on the icons and shows that you just straight up stole everything from AutoScale Lite without permission.
My final take on this is that I will keep using AutoScale Lite for the time being and will not switch. It is also REALLY WEIRD that as soon as you get called out by @WinnersTakesAll, you suddenly remove the AutoScale Lite branding.
Originally you were using the elements from AutoScale and @WinnersTakesAll has clear evidence about that, You just removed them so you can get away with trouble from @ZacBytes
Using Scale on phones would result scaled text being too small and completely unreadable like what @2jammers said
I went to view the code and noticed that you made a table of every instance that is derived from the GuiObject Instance
It is better to use item:IsA("GuiObject"), Not only does this make a table of instance classnames unneeded, but it will also work when a new GUI object is added
It is also recommended to set RichText to true since it automatically scales the text if TextScaled is true
No, not really. It takes me milliseconds to set the size of my UI elements. I set the properties of them quickly after I create them, so I don’t see an appeal for these types of plugins. I feel that it’s wrong to be dependant on them.
Some people may also want to take advantage of offset, so let’s not try to kill that off.
So… just like how people start drama on twitter for more interaction on their posts. Maybe I’ll stop replying to your topics, then.
Ok, seriously.
You create a ‘Deveoper Discussion’ that doesn’t fit ‘Developer Discussion’ (in my opinion), where you was creating a plugin and didn’t publish it. Then, you made a complete scam.
*Nah, you deserve getting banned. No doubt.
(last sentence is a joke, I’d give him a second opportunity, because idk )
