How does Seranok imply Java into his catalog heaven game?
I mean, how does he get Roblox to run it?

As far as I know, he uses a bot that detects when a new item is released. Then it parses the html into xml and uploads it as a model.

The game loads that model to build the catalogue GUI.

Something like that.

He doesn't. It runs in an external server to update the place - not directly interact with the servers running the place.

Basically, once a new server starts, he uses the external server to 'tell' the place what gears to add into the catalog (that's only my guess at it, I thought he used another method)

Here's my guess:

Well, First he probbably got the server checking the Catalog, and then making a list of everything in it, and then uploading it onto a website, then the game has a script with LinkedSource as the website the server uploads the data to. There's data from an external source in a ROBLOX game :)

That is my question. How does he use Java through an external bot, and get it to run with Roblox?

He has a Java bot running on a google server that parses the roblox catalog for new items and then uses this data to update one of his models.

Each of his catalog heaven roblox servers has a script running that breaks the insert service cache (nobody knows how he does this, sadly) and because of this, he can check to see if his updater model has any changes. If there are changes to it, that means there are new items and it uses this data to add said items to the game, automagically.

He uses java to scrape roblox's HTML. He stores things such as name, asset id, etc and saves them as a roblox string object and uploads it to the website. His game inserts the string object, parses the string, and turns it into a gui format (What you see).

Dear KnightmareXD,

Is there an issue with me using the word automagically?

Sinceriously,
