kill the old. bring it the future past that will be murdered later.

This!!! Do not make this an “opt-out”!!!

Why are they being so aggressive towards R6 anyway? Most top games on roblox use it. There is no reason to deprecate it.

This is basically would you rather use the actual R6 or an emulator of R6

is this feature still being worked on? the issues with avatar scaling are still present. i really want to use this feature for my own game but i can’t bring myself to in it’s current state.

What will happen to scripts that relied on looking for a Torso, Right Arm, Left Leg and etc? Why even have this moronic “adapter” in the first place rather than updating the original system? Or heck, keeping the original system around due you, Roblox Corp’s, even admitting to there being known limitations regarding it, for experiences that rely on how R6 behaved?

We have had other recent priorities so we haven’t rolled out any recent changes. We have fixes to the scaling problems in progress and they are currently in testing; I can’t give you a timeline for when we’ll be able to release them though.

The adapter allows these kinds of script references to continue to work as-is.

will we be able to scale the r6 body with this any time soon?

I’m not quite sure what you mean, but this feature only affects R15 avatars, by making them move and look like R6.

is the smol avatar issue going to be fixed anytime soon? That is the only thing that makes Adapted R6 have it’s bad rep.

Not sure if anyone’s said this before, but wouldn’t it be easier to just make an updated version of R6 that looks identical and has improved code that’s up-to-date?

Trying to make an entirely new R15 package that functions like R6 sounds like something that would take more time and effort compared to just making an updated R6 avatar, so I’m not sure why we’re not getting that instead.

You could even keep the old version of R6 so that it can be enabled or disabled by developers if there’s concerns about old games breaking with the new version being available in the avatar editor for everyone to use.

It’s a solution that would receive positive reactions by many people in the community, so it’s worth trying out in the future at least.

iirc MaximumADHD modified studio to let layered clothing work on R6 and it ran fine
The only thing stopping Roblox is their own laziness

Like body scaling. While using R15 you can choose how tall you want the avatar to be, can we scale the R6 adapter like a R15 body?


(Image in case you are still confused)

Also why is it taking 2 years to release an adapter out of beta? Where is the follow up where you guys say it’s officially out? This announcement being almost dead gives me the feeling this has been postponed for the far far future or possibly cancelled. :sad:

This is really nice! didn’t see this in the release.

are we ever going to get an update to this to fix some of the weird quirks such as the off-model proportions & the weird camera placement? i really want to use this in games of mine to support r15 features but it feels like the adapter has pretty much been entirely abandoned

AI… and then Roblox’s executives decided to work on more AI.

This is just ridiculous. So ridiculous that I decided to make this:

I checked last night and adapted R6 still looks like this after a couple years of being released.

Am I the only one who finds it infuriating that I can’t change to classic R6? I think adaptive R6 looks weird and I want to use old r6, but there’s no option, this is literally just R15 made to look like R6 and you’re forced to deal with it. PLEASE add a classic R6 option of sorts, I’ve avoided R15 because of how ugly it is and I’m not gonna stop now.

You can still choose R6. In the new Avatar Settings interface, click the three dots in the upper right corner and choose “R6 only”.

We are working on some fixes for the “weird” look, and hopefully will get those out soon.
