Hello all,

It's me again! UMAD? Here are the current updates to Chat and backpack

# Chat is no longer relative sized. It is always 500x120 pixels. This is due to a problem with how TextBounds property is glitchy and a fix for that in the engine is in the works. In the meantime, to prevent the chat from glitching out, this has been put in effect
# Users can no longer chat in iPad
# Messages with the same timestamp shouldn't cause race conditions and end up overlapping. There is a fix that has been put in for this particular thing but testing this extensively is immensely hard.
# Backpack no longer shows up if your place doesn't have tools. This includes the backpack button. So, if your place doesn't have any tools it doesn't show up at all
# Health bar should be correctly moved to the middle in X space now. If no active items then backpack button scoots down on the health bar
# Backpack button doesn't appear earlier than the rest of the UI anymore. It comes in order.

Now, how can you help? Get on gametest1 and let me know if you find any issues.

I'm not complaining, but I'm sure someone will be mad.

# There is a fix that has been put in for this particular thing but testing this extensively is immensely hard.

As for this, well, nice.

# # Backpack no longer shows up if your place doesn't have tools. This includes the backpack button. So, if your place doesn't have any tools it doesn't show up at all

OMG. Yes. Thank you. Thank you. You have made my day.

# Health bar should be correctly moved to the middle in X space now. If no active items then backpack button scoots down on the health bar

I presume this is still removable, otherwise, please put it back in the playerGui?

Your updates are getting better and better. xD

Backpack should be part of the PlayerGui. There's already methods and events that would allow for this and it makes removing it possible even if your place has tools.

I cannot differ, yet such a state is amazingly paradoxical!

Yeah, right. It totally ruined a game you were making.

In case you didn't understand, these updates didn't get added yet, so I wonder how they could have ruined your game.

Can ROBLOX have a consistent UI? It seems the old UI has a consistent design throughout - focused on blacks and framed buttons. But now, it seemed like some parts of the game are this design and some parts are this newly designed iPad theme.

Slowly but steadily everything will be moved to consistent iPad + PC design.

Spam in chat doesn't matter, because it just goes away really fast anyway...

Make modal true somewhere in the backpack please. (Possibly on the search button.) The old backpack had it.

Coplox, what is your reasoning behind it? I hate modal UIs unless it's something that I absolutely must answer. Leaving the game would be an example of modal.
