Here are a few:

http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php/ChatMode_(Property) (Useful in Chat Guis)
http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php/PlayStockSound (No point in being locked)
http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php/PersonalServerRank_(Property) (Unless it is at least retrievable via script)
http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php/GetFriendStatus_(Method) (I would like to use this :c)
http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php/Guest_(Property) (I know you can check the name or userid but still)
http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php/CloseConnection_(Method) (Good in banning and antiexploit scripts)
http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php/Source_(Property) (Make it settable but not retrieveable)

Other way around. The ability to set them is why it was locked in the first place.

Player.userId == 0

^ wouldn't that work?


By the way, we should be able to set a non-safechatter to not be able to chat. Would help greatly... promis' me the new chat bar will disappear too, if we get that method/property/whateveryouwanttousetogiveusabilitieswithnicenamesnotlikethisone.


@OP;
Not all things :D

Not the script thing. Then it should be server-sided scripts only (Script, not LocalScript).
Hm, can't we get someone's rank in a PBS? I think there's a website API for getting group rank, friend status ect. Prob. ...

Hey!


What about when I use Server.rbxl? Then all my players will have NEGATIVE userIds!

Player1 = -1
Player2 = -2
Player3 = -3

ect.

Oh yeah, and in Solo:

Player1 = 0


D:

So... my suspicions were right, we need a merging tool to merge my and... someone above's code together, so it will both check for Name matching "Guest " and userId == 0.

Custom Chat GUIs are not supported. So I don't see any reason to allow ChatMode to be accessible.

Roblox. Be anything, build anything*.

*Excluding anything that has to do with scripting or guis because we lock all our useful methods and place obnoxious guis over your screen that you can't get rid of.

> Custom Chat GUIs are not supported. So I don't see any reason to allow ChatMode to be accessible.

Why? My Custom Chat GUI gives the exact same performance / visualization as yours does, (mine even fixes a few queuing bugs yours had), and would be perfectly safe if ChatMode was available. Now I literally have to wait until a user chats before I can display the rest of the chats in order to comply with ROBLOX's privacy standards (Also, are there standards for information sending like chat on ROBLOX?)

Furthermore, I need the chat GUI system there in order that my menu doesn't get ruined by the ROBLOX Chat GUI, and I can point out at least 2 other games with custom chat GUI's. -___-

In any event, why would ROBLOX not support custom chat systems - it makes it much much much easier to make our games look better, we can throw in global warnings and messages and the interface space is SO limited already....

Besides that, Source should stay locked as it is, but the debugging event in scripts should be unlocked.

Close Connection should definitely be unlocked, it would help with hackers quite a bit..

Prehistoricwoman used a bot to send me 999 FRs.

Because that would ruin the point of safechat...?
