There are simply so many flaws with this software. I think the roblox staff really needs to focus on polishing it up before adding more features.

1. Why is the homepage the games page? The homepage should be information, update logs, etc.. And it should be saved onto the disk so it can be viewed offline.
2. Help > About ROBLOX. There's this huge block of text that is unpleasant to read. Look at the about windows for all the other big programs out there. They all look awesome.
3. Script editor. I think you all know what's wrong with it/what's lacking/what needs to be added (auto tabbing, information of each method showing up while typing it,
4. Default GUIs. When creating a new game, it will show a bunch of buttons in the HUD. Quickly after, it will disappear and be replaced with the current HUD buttons. Or, if you open a place while on offline mode, it will stay there. I'm sure this isn't meant to happen.
5. Stop flooding the output when a new world is being made!

Just to name a few.

Did you go to S&I with this, Emess?

Really good job at pointing out these flaws, but kinda belongs in suggestions.

( Also, any notice the mass locking of non-scripting oriented but intelligent conversation? )

There's always room for improvement, though.

I get horrendous reproducible crashes with studio on Windows XP that makes making games very difficult.

 - As of about a month ago, if I open a second place with one already open, roblox studio crashes. EVERY TIME.
 - Haven't tested it recently, but when I could open multiple places, if I clicked Test -> Play solo, roblox studio would crash when the focus left "visit.rbxl" and went back to the original window

There's also a very annoying bug with the script editor. It can get into a state where the script tab is no longer attached to its script, brought on by nothing more than a reset, and any changes you make on the script have no effect whatsoever.

Is there any place to file bug reports such as these? The Technical Issues forum is a joke.

-The page which opens when you enter studio is annoying, i mean, who uses studio to go to roblox when they already probably have a browser open? Its just really annoying to have to close it.

-You shouldnt add method names to show up when typing because Lua doesnt work like that. Autotabbing should be added though.

-Dem colors are ugly windows colors and dem user interface is ugly windows-y k? k.

Bugs I experience:

-Mouse events in Start Server/Start Player occasionally only fire when the focus is on the server window instead of the player.

-Occasionally when you reset a place, "artifacts" of script tabs are left there that aren't attached to a script. Changing them has no effect on the actual script and opening the script that it was attached to makes another tab in the editor

-Events don't fire after you've reset the simulation once.

Auto tabbing should be optional, i know my code will look messy to others but i like not having tabs everywhere, all my ends go on a single line. Like a boss

Everything can be improved. It's usable and the technical features are good, but there are so many features that would improve convenience that could be added it's not worth listing.

If I could redesign studio, I would.

I was tempted to embark on a roblox place generator or dialog creation program.

Dialog creator would allow people create advanced dialogs online with a tool then download them as a model

I would totally design a new layout w/ tabs.


Unfortunately, I don't know that much C++, and yeh.

Anyway, I know ROBLOX has a lot more to focus on.... still.

Mm...

I'm just going to write a bunch of Sublime Text 2 plugins so that I can edit places in Sublime Text 2. It'll probably be just script editing, but oh well.

That explains why bosses are so bad at coding...

"THEY HAVE AUTO TABBING NOW?"

I wish they did... I wish they did...

"I want ROBLOX to switch to the Window's ribbon interface...."

Well.. I'm not sure I really like the idea of ribbons. The idea of menus isn't really that good either. Really, programs should try keeping it to toolbars. Ribbons = way too big buttons so you need to either make lots of tabs, either have almost no features at all. Menus = omg it takes 2 minutes to find this or that feature. Toolbars = yay, it's simple and you can find anything in 2 seconds.

You see, I want tabs because that's windows standard.

And I have a massive screen.

No screen space problem.

I think Sorcus is hinting the fact that they arn't going to update Studio anymore because they are releasing ROBLOX Studio 2.0
