For those interested in playing around with an almost complete v3:
I need a few more days to finish the new overflow handler and some other minor features. If you have any feedback feel free to directly reply to this!
I’ll post a breakdown of what’s new, changes, removals, etc to help you transition over to v3 once it’s fully tested and officially released.
Use icon:oneClick() in v3
V3 looks great! I can see one problem though. If you are using Roblox’s old Topbar (which most people are), the buttons will be bugged.
V3 is specifically designed for the new UI. I hope a hybrid is made so it can automatically detect which CoreGui is present.
That won’t be necessary. The feature will be carried out to all players in the future, after all. And, while it isn’t live, people can just use version 2.
Yes, you’re right. But right now it’s awkwardly handled and developers should be able to quickly update without a weird Topbar even temporarily when Roblox decides to fully roll it out.
Roblox also has a problem of rolling out features in percents too, so it may not be out for everyone at the same time.
It’s a major release version, meaning backwards compatibility is not guaranteed. I agree with your second statement, though (but it is probably an issue of players not updating their Roblox installation, even though it should be automatic).
I’ll be creating a ‘Classic’ theme just for this! It’ll determine and apply the theme based upon the topbar insert local hasOldUI = GuiService.TopbarInset.Height == 36.
Roblox should be announcing a topbar beta today/shortly so developers can then opt into that to begin testing in-game too!
Other things I’m still working on:
I’ve designed v3 so that the majority of it is backwards compatible with v2. The only significant non-compatible change is the new theme system, and a few methods which have been removed.
Hey there, can we talk in DM’s about TopbarPlus? I am having issues installing it.
Is it possible to just require the module within a script? like require(whateverthemoduleidis)?
I recommend learning how to use a module and a script first.
Hey forever, roblox updated their UI again…
I know how to use a module and a script lol, my question was if it was possible to require the module without having the actual model inside the main model, so that it would minimize the scripts within this product
This is a good question: I plan to support auto versioning for v3 by converting the Icon into a package. Package updating currently hasn’t been rolled out but it’s designed this way in hopes it eventually does:
require(MainModuleId) is being removed entirely hence why best to avoid:
oh woah, you can’t require() anymore? what if im trying to require a like Settings script such as script.Settings?
He means with IDs like requesting a 3rd party module from the ID
its not only require(MainModuleId) that gets you under fire
we had a module ( which was a package ) that contained themes for maps and stuff and they were based on the place ids
and that got the module and the publisher banned under malicious code guideline , took us a while to get it backup and stuff . any mention of ids will just get you under fire
Will you be uploading v3 to wally?
Finally topbar plus v3 is gonna release soon
Finally, V3 is gonna coming soon! I am excited to test TopBarPlus V3!
