[glad zealot]

Wait this is lowk 🔥

[slim field]

🔥

[bold jolt]

WAIT

[bold jolt]

WAIT THIS IS PEAK HODON

[midnight grail]

The changes they gonna make to DataStores are not good at all

[tired maple]

absolute W

[midnight grail]

They reducing the storage

[bold jolt]

WHAT

[rich moss]

😭

[glad zealot]

I didn’t read into that yet what are they changingv

[wet relic]

.

[sour whale]

what does this mean

[glad zealot]

Dang.

[grand fossil]

viewing player data in games i think

[bold jolt]

nvm this is ass

[sour whale]

this is good then

[midnight grail]

The storage is changing from per-player limit to per-experience limit

[bold jolt]

i thought i finally dont have to make data logs

[glad zealot]

Nah nah what the fuck

[midnight grail]

Or somethin like that

[turbid elk]

????

[sour whale]

is this bad

[rich moss]

nah thats crazy

[glad zealot]

Roblox better fucking rethink this before I come up into hq

[grand fossil]

k this is bad

[timber flame]

how is that going to impact stuff?

[bold jolt]

roblox has done it again

[glad zealot]

What happens to big games like pet sim etc.

[bold jolt]

💀

[rich moss]

but like whats the point of this

[grand fossil]

this is so bad omg

[daring iris]

does life time player mean visit

[rich moss]

why yu doing ts to us roblox 😭

[bold jolt]

brokies ran out of servers

[glad zealot]

April fools…

[sly pecan]

1000 players = +1gb

[bold jolt]

that was a week ago.

[rich moss]

its the 8th 💔

[bold jolt]

🥀

[glad zealot]

Let me dream 😔

[sly pecan]

well its called april fools

keep hoping 🥀

[sly pecan]

This a good thing or a bad thing 😭

[rich moss]

.

[bold jolt]

good morning

[spring slate]

Why

[glad zealot]

Ok wait naw

[spring slate]

good night.

[turbid elk]

limited storage

[rich moss]

its too much info to be a april fools prank 💔

[spring slate]

oh

[timber flame]

what was it before? was there no limit?

[turbid elk]

they made it smaller

[glad zealot]

Tbf 1gb storage per player isn’t bad as long as you manage all your shit correctly

[bold jolt]

it was based on players b4

[sly pecan]

give me a hope 😭

[dapper meteor]

They fr had us in the first half ngl

[bold jolt]

i mean

play

[glad zealot]

It’s actually tons of storage per player

[bold jolt]

er

[rich moss]

theres none to start with 🥀

[glad zealot]

I don’t think this will be too bad of a change

[placid shoal]

hey guys

the data stores manager basically allows developers to easily view, manage, and analyze their game data, (e.g., player information and its usage.)
for those who don't understand what this means. i tried to put it in a simplified way.

[timber flame]

so just like what we could do with plugins

but now on their page

[bold jolt]

data logs!

[glad zealot]

I though they were making a built in way of allowing devs to change values inside of data stores

[somber tendon]

1mb per player isnt THAT bad. like its Okay

[glad zealot]

I’ll still have to make my own ig

[glad zealot]

1gb*

[bold jolt]

1mb . ???????????/

[glad zealot]

Whoops

I’m stupid

No

It is 1MB

[somber tendon]

1gb per player would be crazy

roblox would detonate

[glad zealot]

Lmao

[bold jolt]

bro

[timber flame]

100mb + 1mb per player

[bold jolt]

1 mb is too little

[glad zealot]

Megabyte not megabit btw

[glad zealot]

Fym

[bold jolt]

its scaring me

D:

[glad zealot]

Each character is about 1 or 2 bytes

[placid shoal]

1mb isn't little..

[somber tendon]

truthnuke

[glad zealot]

MB*

[bold jolt]

wait

byte

byte

mb

[glad zealot]

Yes byte not bit

[glad zealot]

Bit*

[placid shoal]

in fact, it's somewhat large, the more data you have to load and save for each player, the more it can impact game performance. additionally, roblox has data store size and request limits. which means that storing too much data per player can hit those limits quickly, ESPECIALLY for games with many players.

[bold jolt]

not bad

[turbid elk]

each character is one byte

i think

nvm its 4 bit

[glad zealot]

Oh whoops

[bold jolt]

too much numbers

😵‍💫

[clever coral]

bro

[somber tendon]

what the others said, it should be enough to save ingame player info, and other things (like datalogs how you said) could very reasonably be offloaded to personal storage or the like by your own hand if you need them That bad

[glad zealot]

About 2k characters in a table

That’s tons of storage

[somber tendon]

^

[bold jolt]

ok thats nice ig

[turbid elk]

https://i.imgur.com/hV6ORtY.png
lord have mercy

[timber flame]

just store all your data in 1 string and split it up when loading, ez low impact storage

[glad zealot]

Not much of anything you should be chilling

[bold jolt]

LMAO

[turbid elk]

inventory has a max of 80 indices

should i not

[fallen crypt]

Will it break catalog avatar creator

[glad zealot]

Gang what game are you making 😭

[timber flame]

just gotta boost up that lifetime player count

[turbid elk]

that's serialization

[bold jolt]

i think that uses like an api or smthg

[turbid elk]

deepwoken type stuff

[glad zealot]

Yeah I assumed lol

[glad zealot]

Httpservice

[bold jolt]

ye

[glad zealot]

I’m not sure I’ll need somebody to check for me

But is encoding a table in JSON more memory efficient?

[lusty snow]

wdym

[civic plume]

there was a datastore plugin which was supported by voldex n now that is not going to be used anymore because its a feature now

[lusty snow]

oh

ok

whats the limit per player

[timber flame]

serializing and deserializing your data could be more efficient yeah

[lusty snow]

deepwoken is cooked

[glad zealot]

you literally just restated my question

[jade lance]

Time to store all of a players data as a single encoded string

Originally it was 4mb/player

[lusty snow]

how much is it now

[jade lance]

1

[fresh remnant]

beans

[proven cosmos]

balls

[topaz summit]

Lmao this thread is so funny

[proven cosmos]

worst update

[topaz summit]

This is why its so funny

Only 30/55 MILLION experiences will be affected by this update

The average game doesn't come even close to the data store limit

[topaz summit]

Seriously its so funny because the thread is half people trying to explain why you shouldnt overreact and the other half is a brick wall

[viral crag]

Why do you need more then 1mb per player? Seems small but it’s a lot, it’s like 1,000,000 characters

[viral crag]

It won’t do anything

[tropic plover]

This has been a plugin for like 5 years now lmao

[sour whale]

will it affect deepwoken

[pliant quest]

nah this must be a joke

[spiral compass]

april first

[pliant quest]

aint april first tho 💀

[spiral compass]

they just following a different calendar

[pliant quest]

hope so

otherwise we gota turn to using our own computers as storages

[spiral compass]

I mean is not that bad, about 100 million characters? Idk how they storing the data tho so it can be less or is probably less

[pliant quest]

yea maybe not that bad

time will tell

[spiral compass]

some experiences are with TB of storage, thats crazy

[spiral compass]

I think it might be good cuz:

• it uses less resources for the games that dont have players, while giving more resources if u have players,
• makes some people optimize their datastore, like this one on the image
• still 100mb as a base is a lot even with a bad designed and messy datastore

[pliant quest]

dang this dude got double the maximum

yea people gota turn to use ids instead of strings

encouraging optimization

[tropic plover]

also people be storing wayyyy too much data aswell.

[pliant quest]

wait is it an option to name ur pets in pets sim

cuz bruh

[fresh hamlet]

Absolutely

[sour whale]

in a good way or a bad way
