I've just released v3 of TopbarPlus! It includes:
- Support for new and old icons
- Gamepads (console) and mobile devices
- Wally and Roblox packages
- A complete codebase rewrite
If anyone manages a large game and needs help transitioning just pop me a DM on the devforum!
I hate to rant as Roblox in general has made great advancements over the last decade, although changes like this make me wonder why I continue to develop on the marketplace. Roblox has completely neglected its marketplace developers, and these recent changes further highlight it
Happy New Year everyone! We haven't been able to release Guest World yet, so to make up, here's an exclusive preview from one of the sections of the map:
Christmas has come early! You can now ban players not online/in-your-server using HD Admin. The 'flee before being banned' bug has also been squashed ๐๐ซ
18,000+ live viewers! wow!! huge thanks to everyone who tuned in today, this means a bunch to me, matt and the team who've been working on this for over the last year. see you there for chapter 2 next week! โฅ๏ธ
The new playerlist design is a nice step-up from the previous, although what's with the huge offset
@Roblox
? Personally, I'd reduce this offset, match the frames transparency, and fix the scrollbar:

If you're interested in setting up your own safe zones, voting systems, etc, I've finally finished Zone+ which utilises regions and raycasting, with accompanying documentation and coded examples, to achieve this:
@EasternBloxxer
A lot of people refer to it informally as 'IP Banning' hence why I pop it in brackets - you are right that from a technical perspective this is not correct!
Hey just a quick update on The Bacon Hair.
The films gonna be 30+ minutes long
I have about 6 more minutes to go until it's finished
This is honestly really tough to make so I appreciate the support and your patience๐ค

Thanks for the kind words all! โฅ๏ธ it's been amazing to play and create alongside so many others as its evolved over the years. Honestly have no idea what I'd be doing without this platform and community ๐

I would love to develop resources and applications fulltime for the Roblox community, although changes like the recently proposed audio restrictions completely shatter my confidence in the long-term sustainability of doing so.
Vehicles are coming!
...along with many awesome new things in the upcoming 'Mega update'
I'll be posting release dates for the Mega Update and Guest World Early Access (the FREE version) in the upcoming weeks, stay tuned
Want to remotely view and handle bans without the hassle of Trello? The new ban system enables you to customise where to ban the player, for how long, and for what reason, along with an easy-to-use Banland to view and modify the ban:
Itโs sad because there are some simple steps Roblox could take to address these issues. First and foremost, they need to communicate effectively with marketplace developers, and to at least acknowledge them, such as after feature requests or topic replies.
Unlike top games, the leading marketplace assets have no channels of communication with Roblox, despite multiple attempts from us. We canโt directly report or discuss security vulnerabilities, we canโt directly provide insights into what we need ourselves to improve the market.
HD Admin V2 is now live! The updates will take place automatically, however you'll need to update your Loader to gain access to all the new features. I'll officially announce V2 once the system is fully setup. You can view the MainModule here:
The restriction of third-party sales completely crippled our ability to earn revenue: If top applications canโt earn enough to support their teams, how does Roblox expect the marketplace to thrive? There is no incentive to create high-quality assets.
"Welcome to the Catacombs..."
Here's a sneak peak of one Guest World's latest instalments I've been working on - credit to
@NaperinRBX
for his awesome builds
Top plugin developers such as
@Elttob_
and
@BoatbomberRBLX
also experience similar issues, to the point now where they are forced to move their applications *off platform* just to barely pay rent.
If a marketplace application such as HD Admin was a game, it would often fall within the top
#10
games by player base. These applications run in *thousands* of games with *millions* of daily users, yet despite this are completely ignored by the marketplace team.
The topbar area is a surprisingly useful place to setup menu toggles! So far I've used it for some shops and the HD icon, and I'm looking to setup an additional 'cogs' icon to toggle settings (including mute buttons, etc) for my games.
Global announcements are now live! Simply open up the broadcast menu (!globalAnnouncement or !ga for short), customise your message, then submit. Once broadcasted, your announcement will appear within 2 - 20 seconds across all servers.
HD Admin's also been updated - you're now fine to start using v3 in games where you also use that. I'd recommend developers transition over as soon as possible since v2 is mostly but not fully compatible with v3
