PlayerList Updates

I agree. Most games, this feature is used to show statistics, which in this new update to it, requires players to scroll more, or see just a few at a time. This can be a nuisance to some games, though the design to it looks pretty decent.

We should have an ability to see who has sent us friend requests in the leaderboard; unless there is already, and I haven’t noticed. Either way, there should be a feature to view all of “friend tab” activity in the menu (when you click ESC in-game). I think that there should also be a feature on the Roblox website “Friends” tab, to see all out-going friend requests, so I could see if I could revoke mistaken friend requests. I usually sometimes get a friend request accepted that I may have forgotten about for a year! :sweat_smile:

I think that they should have the old player-list because of it’s size, but have it with the new one’s design.

Can you please post a link to the game in which that is happening?

With the new update to the leaderboard, we have seen some new icons.

Relating to my Web Feature request last year, would you say more leaderboard icons are being considered for the new leaderboard?

I have requested this feature of having a possible option on the group admin panel, where anyone in a certain role will receive the developer icon.

You can read more on this here:

Evening,

I had one concern in my game when I noticed this went live. Did it affect default chat size as well? It appears as though something has shifted, and my once properly set UI’s are now slightly overlapping the chat box. Could the leaderboard be responsible for this too?

Being honest as well, this new leaderboard I feel wastes space that could be utilized by the user.

In this image, note the slight gaps at both the top and right sides. If the UI was lined up on these, it would give users who wish to keep the default leaderboard more usable space.

Third point, which is more of a question. Are there core scripts for this leaderboard that are public, similarly to the core chat scripts? If so, where can I obtain them?

Thanks!

It’s concerning that Staff haven’t said a single thing since the new Playerlist was released. The only thing he’s said is when he’s responding to small issues. Please listen to these people and at least update us on what the future is on this as it seems people really seem to dislike it and want a rollback.

I actually really dislike this update, the leaderboard takes up WAY too much space on my screen and I don’t know how to change it. I would highly prefer if the height and width of the leaderboard were configurable, if they are, someone please contact me on how to do it, as I really don’t like how much space it takes up.

Edit: This update has also destroyed one of my scripts, I don’t know how, but now one of my GUI’s don’t work because it used to connect to the leaderboard.

UPDATE: After further review the playlist is now broken, Teams especially when players die and are taken off teams it doesn’t even work half the time! Putting people on teams is even worse, nothing works when switching teams! Also sometimes all the players don’t even show even with scroll!

I am experiencing a pretty similar issue with the “-”.

For instance, I was playing The Underground War and I could see the leaderstats for everyone who joined before me. But, I cannot see the stats of anyone who joins after me (and including my own stats) as it just shows “-” endlessly. This affects gameplay (and likely other games) and hopefully this is fixed soon.

Where are the leaderstats by my name? Imagine a full 200 player server I would have to scroll and scroll. No Roblox just no.

After this playerlist update I have received many reports from players regarding FPS drops/spikes. I can confirm that this is happening on other games too. Any idea why this is happening?

I can also confirm that there have been recent FPS drops in games after the release of this new leaderboard

Honestly not a fan of this player list at all. Also is it just me or does zooming in and out appear to be a lot quicker?

A lot better than the previous version, though the scroll bar still doesn’t fit, it sits behind the colouring from the teams and doesn’t fit in when a leaderboard exists, I still prefer my own one or a custom one at least until ROBLOX completes UI changes.

still really want a removable top barrrrrrrr eek

Can you implement feature where developers can change size of each leaderboard column. I have rank display on leaderboard and its just half sized so text doesn’t look good at all. But leaderboard it self is very very good.

I have been a Developer since 2016 and I personally have got very use to the old UI, I suggest giving Creators the Option in the Settings Tab in Studio to click “Player list” “Original” or “New” Most if my UI all are designed around the currently style so this is not the best for me.

Even though it was apparently resized, it still looks too big. The old one was simple and compact.
