I didn't exactly go into this relying on my Viridian Headphones, and I had it in the back of my mind that I might lose them, but I'm extremely disappoitned. Here is the PM conversation:

Send me the headphones now.

Thanks!! I'm confident and ready to purchase. I can either send you Viridian Headphones now, or sell it and give you the R$, which might take a while since it sells every few days.

I can give it to you in lua form if you desire. I have both the lua and the .exe files. I used srlua to compile.

Thanks! I asked because I know for a fact that the only two formats for RBXL files are XML and a special binary format. If you said anything different then I would be concerned. But I do just have 1 last thing to get out of the way, since this is a big purchase: Is there any way I can have it in the form of a .lua file? Since I already have a Lua interpreter. Or is there a special reason it's bundled in an .exe?

If you mean the language that forms the file - that's XML. E.g. .RBXL files use XML formatting.

Thanks! About the RBXL thing -- I just mean, what format is the data in? As in, the data that makes up the RBXL file (e.g. JSON)

1. It's coded in Lua - not the Roblox version but proper Lua.
2. It's large. Also to bypass some limitations of studio and ROBLOX Lua.
3. The file is not zipped. It's a normal .RBXL file just like the places you save when you click on "Save Place".
4. I don't have the time to give you a screenshot right now. I'm in a rush!

I will most certainly buy this, but I hope you don't mind me asking questions about it, so I can reassure myself about the legitimacy. Could you just answer:

1. What language was the program coded in?
2. What made you decide to have it as a separate application, instead of a Roblox Lua script?
3. What format is the exported .RBXL file in when the program is finished?
4. Would it be okay if I saw something, e.g. a screenshot, of a non-essential part of the program that at least shows its purpose?

You will recieve a single-use download link. When you unzip the file, you'll get an .exe program that generates .RBXL files, as said in the thread.

You'll recieve the link as soon as payment will occur. I would actually prefer the R$ as I don't have any big limiteds that could be used in a functioning trade.

I don't have R$, but I do have limiteds. Viridian Headphones has 13k RAP and is worth about 15k - I could give that instead, if you have an account with BC. If you absolutely need R$, I could sell it, but lots would be lost in the marketplace fee - you'd only have 7k in the end.

I'm a scripter, and I'm really interested in your algorithm. I'm wondering a couple of things: 1. How many lines of code is it? 2. Did you build the various assets & pieces that it uses in the city, or someone else? 3. Would you take a limited item worth above ### ##### Viridian Headphones, or Green Bubble Trouble) instead of 10k R$?

@LoudYou I don't forum here regularly, so I don't know him. my alternative was having a long PM conversation. as you can see he reassured me enough that I trusted him

@superspy468 the first two were red flags for me, but his other answers reassured me, and "send now" just seemed like impatience

Wouldn't it been smarter to at-least see the more cities generated by his "algorithm", since it takes "5 minutes". Anyone can build one city and suddenly say "i have a city algorithm"..

You got hella finessed.. should been smarter about this bruh

certainly and that's why I asked him so many questions first
I'm not extremely upset, but I am still posting it here, since it's not my fault, it's his

this sounds harsh but you have to put the blame on yourself and suck it up.

There's always going to be people like him. In the real world and on ROBLOX. If you fall for it while having the slightest doubt, I'd say its your fault. :(

My apologizes for sounding mean

When he first posted saying "[PROOF]", it was obviously going to be a scam.

bluecage what I'm trying to say is that he's in the wrong for attempting to scam in the first place. at least I tried to reassure myself. are you meaning to say that you'd rather I didn't post this thread?

acknowledge what you said? I did! I told you "certainly," that I agree that it would have been smarter. but I mean a part of the reason I bought is because I knew in the back of my mind that if he did scam me, I could post a thread like this and warn everybody else. I am really surprised that somebody like you, who gives so much, is really coming onto the thread of a person who was robbed only to say "it was your fault, suck it up." that's the kind of thing I would expect from anybody in this community besides you
