Hello,

Some people seems to have a new chat bar, a black one, a little bit transparent, which has limited characters' inputs... I updated roblox a few minutes ago, but I don't have such a modification. Any explanation? O.o

@ArceusInator
I think this is for the better when it comes to script builders. People will only use scripts that they write themselves (most likely), because it's so much work to copy character for character scripts from the forum. We'll still do it because writing scripts is fun.

We just need to improve our script builders. The editor should look more like studio's editor and we should be able to save our scripts with data persistence so we don't have to rewrite some fun scripts every time.

That sounds like a horrible idea =D I would ragequit very hard if I had to re-write out every change I make to a script for debugging.

That's why you don't code in the chat bar. Make a new interface.

That's also why ROBLOX should allow access to the clipboard; it would be a lot easier to copy + paste scripts into TextLabels if they're used for script input.

N++

What the hell is that?

Is it some made up language or something? Or an actual language?

Notepad++

I actually like it better than sublime text 2.

Ah. okay. It just sounded like some made up language or a real language the way you said it. I use SciTE, I'm too lazy to download any variant of Notepad.

I use Notepad++, but the autotabbing is weird and I keep on planning to start using Vim or Sublime

Does that mean that the ROBLOX script editor is based on Notepad ++, as for me it seems to autotab.

I did something related to what Blobbyblob explained here: http://www.roblox.com/Item.aspx?id=3914362

It's basically a prototype of a text editor made using GUIs. It would be much better if the ClearTextOnFocus worked dynamically, and not for what only you type in there (for instance, it clears when the Text is changed and you focus on it, but not when you type in it and then focus again).

Other than that, you can create scripts and edit their lines all through a GUI.

Isn't it just. SciTE allows for in-editor compiling, and has syntax highlighting for most languages. It also has an indentation guide so you can see where ends are supposed to be in Lua.

...or sublime text :D

Actually, The only one I know who's got this problem is Frostftw. According to a few comments on Anaminus's script builder, he's not the only one.

Someone who isn't as lazy as I am should go check the coreScripts and see if there is one for a chat bar.

Who's script builder is that, just asking?

Also, that new chat bar could be an 'addon' that someone has created and Frostftw installed into ROBLOX, but I have no clue what he is downloading and if he did do anything like that, so I cannot tell.
