Hello, I recently read the anti-outline threads in the S&I forum, so I decided to make this thread to give them a way to get rid of outlines.
NOTE: You may have to do this each time ROBLOX updates.
So far this applies to people with Windows computers, so... yeah. Thank Nytraulics; it was he who found out how.
Navigate to C:\Program Files\Roblox\Versions\{latest version}\shaders, and then open default.hlsl with Notepad. (If you are on a 64-bit computer, the Program Files folder Roblox is installed on is Program Files (x86).) Then, on Notepad, find and remove these lines of code:
#ifdef PIN_HQ float outlineFade = saturate1(IN.View_DepthMulFadeout.w * OutlineBrightness.x + OutlineBrightness.y); float2 minIntermediate = min(IN.Uv_EdgeDistance1.wz, IN.UvStuds_EdgeDistance2.wz); float minEdgesPlus = min(minIntermediate.x, minIntermediate.y) / IN.View_DepthMulFadeout.w; oColor0.rgb *= saturate1(outlineFade *(1.5 - minEdgesPlus) + minEdgesPlus); #endif
Save the file, and close Notepad. Have fun with an outline-free game!
ANOTHER NOTE: Just reinsert the code if you want outlines back. |

| Seems legit, but I prefer an official solution than just an alternative. |

Outlines are small black lines around every brick in every place, they are pretty dicrete at this point but they will probably gradually grow thicker in time. They look ok in some places (especially if those places have a very minimalistic building style), but they also completely ruin some places (especially very detailed realistic places).
The update is probably done to promote building in minimalistic style and discourage building complex. (= it limits our creativity)

| This is indeed a workaround; unfortunately, it's the only way we can throw out outlines so far. |

I think I'll keep this tracked...
Although, a second solution is far simpler- Build your place around outlines. |

@frozen
I am not rebuilding all of my driving games because Roblox decided it needed company pride.

@Alex:
Company pride? Far off. Reprisal is a better word. |

Yea well. Reprisal is a bit harsh.

Not really.
Well, I'm assuming reprisal is just another word for revenge, anyway. |

Well, that goes back to whether or not the community deserved it, something you and I clearly disagree on

@astro You're not deleting anything important; you're only removing the code that gives bricks outlines. |

| Well, I knew that sometime ago but i prefer to keep them since...well I hate them, but other people see them and if I build, they see an ugly lined model but i see a masterpiece. So i prefer to keep them so i would know what the other people are seeing. |
