Are you referring to the Time of Day in Solo mode?

I don't think so. Thats easy to understand. I dont see why it would need explaining...


Wut do you mean? I heard something about a 'Plugin manager' or something... apparently it was said at the roblox rally. I wasn't there, Im very far away. :(

I found this forum post:

www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=51864929

It has some info on the PluginManager announced at the rally.

I don't know if this will help though xD

A post elsewhere by someone called WatchOutForDinosaurs. LOL! XD

Do you know what we're talking about? New studio plugins. You can set your own 16x16 icons to use (any image at all). Put them, and a lua file, in a plugins folder and you can have buttons in studio.

You probably do know that, sorry.



But anyway, when publishing/sharing your plugins, it's going to be on an external site (or maybe roblox eventually), because you have to include actual files. Uploading icons to roblox as decals makes them resized to 256x256 and they look like clouds, which isn't good.
The idea here is that in the meantime, so we don't have to post offsite links and get banned, we all use the same icon set, so the only thing we need to share is the scripts, and we already have the other assets.

Is this helpful too? :3

There are four objects associated with plugins. Their classnames are Button, Toolbar, Plugin and PluginManager. PluginManager is a singleton, and it can hold services. Plugin is possibly a service.

I still don't really understand the purpose of it... So basically you can create things in the toolbar?

Can you at least use them in game? If not it's a waste of time imo :/

Apparently you have to download these plugins in order to use them though. So whats the point? We can't upload them to roblox, so we'll have to do it on offsite links. -_-, Which we cant say....

How on earth is it a WASTE of time? It lets you make your own studio toolbars.

That's like saying the save button is a waste of time.

People've made CFrame ones, which is the most considered use of it.
