im leaning towards the second cause otherwise every page would be having a spike and instead its only like 3? of them

#

i found that panacea was causing a huge lag spike when loading just to be able to accomodate loading some animations in studio easier and had zero impact on ingame so i deleted that lmao

hey guys if i were storing all instances in a roblox place in a single array for some reason, if i had to chose, should i be indexing that array with a uint64, or should a uint32 be ok?

#

i mean it would be kinda miraculous if you managed to have 4,294,967,296 instances in a single place loaded at once but i mean you never know

willow coral Dec 1, 2025, 11:37 PM

i dont even know if a roblox server can handle more than 4 billion instances

this would be over 34gb of memory just for pointers to the instances, this doesnt even include the instances themselves

#

also you cant even create a table that big

#

largest array i could make is 2^26 entries

is there a way to prompt a file export in roblox studio? something similar to StudioService:PromptImportFile() but for exporting
there's PluginManager:ExportSelection(), but that only works with .rblx files and luau scripts, and im trying to export binary data containing 0x00s

rare goblet Dec 2, 2025, 9:13 PM

#

i dont think there is

#

can you not put the data in a luau script?

lilac path Dec 2, 2025, 11:20 PM

#

rare goblet can you not put the data in a luau script?

out of curiosity i tried writing some buffer data into a script, but it turns out if there are any 0x00 bytes, the script's source will literally cut off at that point and any content after the null byte is no longer present in the script :(

#

the experiment was:

i put local A = Instance.new("Script", game.ServerStorage) A.Source = string.char(65, 66, 67, 68, 0, 69, 70, 71, 72, 0, 73) into the command bar
the expected result would be that the script's source will consist of:

ABCD?EFGH?I

but the actual result is:

rare goblet Dec 2, 2025, 11:27 PM

#

use UpdateSourceAsync it works

#

local s = Instance.new("Script")
game:GetService("ScriptEditorService"):UpdateSourceAsync(s, function()
    return "ab\0cdefg"
end)
print(#s.Source) --> 8

apparently unions are very weird when it comes to physics for some reason

#

boreal topaz apparently unions are very weird when it comes to physics for some reason

set the collision fidelity to precise convex decomposition

#

and if that doesnt work then oh well idk

#

collision is janky in roblox because the physics system requires everything to be convex, so meshes/unions have to be broken into convex solids

boreal topaz Dec 3, 2025, 5:32 AM

#

rare goblet set the collision fidelity to precise convex decomposition

yeah that works better

i think you are missing the case when the dial lands on 0 exactly

e.g. it is on 15 then turns L15 to land on 0

last sierra Dec 5, 2025, 1:01 AM

rare goblet i think you are missing the case when the dial lands on 0 exactly

if i do dial == 0 then clicks += 1, it will output 7 instead of 6 given example input

because now you are double counting a specific case

not 100% sure on what the best way to pass in a bunch of values for UI purposes is

the best way to update ui state has been a debate since the dawn of gui

if you just need to pass in a lot of data then a table containing all the data is good enough

you should use a random object (https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/datatypes/Random) instead of math.randomseed, it gives you more control, more options for probability distributions, and cant be impacted by external calls to math.random

  const cjkCount = cjkMatches ? cjkMatches.length : 0;
  const nonCjkCount = text.length - cjkCount;
  return cjkCount * 2 + nonCjkCount;
}

function showLimitFeedback() {
  console.log("Ye Shunguang's big schlong")
  postBody.classList.add("shake")
  setTimeout(() => {
        postBody.classList.remove('shake');
      }, 500);
}
// This is to handle Firefox bs
postBody.addEventListener("input", postBodyEvent);
postBody.addEventListener("keyup", postBodyEvent);
postBody.addEventListener("change", postBodyEvent);
postBody.addEventListener("paste", postBodyEvent);
postBody.addEventListener("cut", postBodyEvent);

function postBodyEvent(e) {
  newBody = e.target.value
  bodyLength = countCharacters(newBody);

  // Remove red border from error

This move comes as no surprise. Stenberg has been the most vocal opponent of indiscriminate use of AI bug reports for some time now. In May 2025, he had complained about a flood of “AI slop” bug reports from the bug bounty site HackerOne. He’d said, on LinkedIn, “We now ban every reporter INSTANTLY who submits reports we deem AI slop. A threshold has been reached. We are effectively being DDoSed. If we could, we would charge them for this waste of our time. We still have not seen a single valid security report done with AI help.”

im so lost (this should be playing right? cause the stuff below anim is running properly)

this is done within a module script located in repstorage, :Init() is being called from a localscript in startercharscripts
(this is also not the full script, but the stuff above it is completely irrelevant its just services and a couple constant variables so that shouldnt cause it)


local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local hum = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
--local rootPart = char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local animator = hum:WaitForChild("Animator")


--Anim
local runAnim = animator:LoadAnimation(Resources.Animations.Run)


local function runSpeed(b:boolean)
    if b then
        hum.WalkSpeed = maxSpeed
        runAnim:Play()
        print("anim should be running")
    else
        hum.WalkSpeed = minSpeed
        runAnim:Stop()
        print("anim should not be running")
    end
end
    
function MovementLib:Init()
    local running = false 
    --runAnim:Play()
    UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(i,gps)
        if gps then return end
        print("input received ", i.KeyCode)
        
        if i.KeyCode==Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
            running = not running
            runSpeed(running)
        end
    end)
end



return MovementLib

boreal topaz im so lost (this should be playing right? cause the stuff below anim is running ...

If it’s in starter character scripts then the script will only run when the character is waited for

#

Remove the :Wait() you just need to reference the character

#

and use FindFirstChild

#

On everything else

It only works with ias

it's just so ugly that for every single key you gotta use Enum.KeyCode but for mouse inputs you gotta use Enum.UserInputType

#

also is there a way to just force shiftlock enabled without scripting a custom camera?

willow coral Jan 31, 2026, 5:56 PM

#

Uh

#

You would need to force enable it in the shiftlock controller

#

Stop disabling it in the same function

#

And make CameraToggle not disable it

#

You might be able to just force a camera offset of 1.75 to the side

recently, I've been interested in wondering what are even the practical applications for LinkedList aside from teaching freshmen about nodes, trees and all that stuff. Two that I found so far is for a "Replay Buffer", and Hash Tables

rare goblet Feb 1, 2026, 1:03 AM

#

none 👍

#

im exaggerating; there are some, but they are somewhat rare, and most of the "reasons" that classes teach linked lists for can be done without linked lists (a circular vector can implement a queue just as well as a linked list)

#

separate chaining in hash tables is a usecase but idk if a linked list is really the best option there? only way to know would be to benchmark

#

the runtime complexity doesnt actually matter with a linked list vs. a vector for separate chaining since you have to iterate through every item for comparisons anyway

#

(and the number of items in each bucket should be small anyway, ideally less than some small constant)

willow coral Feb 1, 2026, 3:30 AM

#

I’m yet to run into a practical use for a linked list

#

Only times I’ve used one was when I was forced to

rare goblet Feb 1, 2026, 6:24 AM

#

python's sorted dictionaries

#

though i think they can be done using an array? it just has weird behavior with amortization

#

also an adjacency list for representing a graph (though im pretty sure there is a way to get similar runtime complexity using hashing)

#

a skip list is basically a bunch of linked lists (but it can actually be useful) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skip_list

Skip list

In computer science, a skip list (or skiplist) is a probabilistic data structure that allows

and i can't find the code that makes your character look forward using shiftlock

i hope it's not internal or something

rare goblet Feb 1, 2026, 3:15 PM

its intentional

specifically so it is impossible to get access to the cameramodule without forking the camera scripts

i know this because it used to actually return the thing several years ago but they changed it with an fflag that was named in a way to show that was the point

real

local function is_finite(n: number): boolean
    local b = buffer.create(4)
    buffer.writef32(b, 0, n)
    return buffer.readbits(b, 23, 8) ~= 255

#

just found out something so outrageous it seems illegal. california law requires that every single application (which is literally defined as “can run on a general purpose computing device that can download applications”) updated since 2026 began must use an api provided by the operating system (these apis dont yet exist) to request the users age. from what i can tell the law doesnt even require you to do anything with it, you are just required to use the api. if you do not do this by july 1, 2027 (keep in mind this applies to all applications that have been updated recently, even though it is currently impossible to comply), then you are on the hook for up to $2500 (or $7500 if violated intentionally) PER CALIFORNIAN CHILD WHO USES YOUR APP

rare goblet Feb 28, 2026, 2:49 AM

from what i can tell, this means that currently, releasing a program to any californians is illegal, considering it is literally impossible to comply atm

#

technically you wont be breaking the law until july 1, 2027, but if you release an app now you are now strapped with the duty to update it before then

this seems like genuinely one of the most negligent software bills ever passed

            color = vector.lerp(color, vector.create(1,1,1), perlinValue)
            color = vector.floor(color * 255)

 local packed = 
                0xFF000000 +
                bit32.lshift(color.z, 16) +
                bit32.lshift(color.y, 8) +
                color.x
            
            buffer.writeu32(colorBuffer, pointIndex, packed)

@hollow sphinx try this

        a.Z + (b.Z - a.Z) * t
    )
end```

@urban pulsar somehow :Lerp is more optimized

this is what we are working with btw

it has to be found first in the math library

hollow sphinx Mar 4, 2026, 2:03 PM

urban pulsar Mar 4, 2026, 2:04 PM

can be called on models

hollow sphinx Mar 4, 2026, 2:05 PM

hollow sphinx Mar 4, 2026, 2:05 PM

what if you try the manual

if manual lerp is faster

#

maybe that could be faster

urban pulsar Mar 4, 2026, 2:05 PM

hollow sphinx Mar 4, 2026, 2:05 PM

vs 1

hollow sphinx Mar 4, 2026, 2:06 PM

its the attachments

hollow sphinx Mar 4, 2026, 2:07 PM

idk what the alternative would be

hollow sphinx Mar 4, 2026, 2:08 PM

#

why would you need worldcframe

#

when yo ucan insert offset value

#

ohhhhhhh right

#

your particle is set on global space

#

to render it, it needs to be on an attachment

#

yeah honestly thats the least i can think of im no expert when it come to optimization but call me when you want to obsfucate or overcomplicate a piece of code

#

you should ask Crazyblox trol hes really keen when it come to optimization

urban pulsar Mar 4, 2026, 2:17 PM

#

i think at this point I just need to tone down the amount of particles

#

wait hold on its not that bad

#

lowest is 90 fps now

rare goblet Mar 4, 2026, 5:12 PM

#

hollow sphinx but somewhat a + (b - a) * t being faster than math.lerp is funny

math.lerp has an extra conditional

#

function math.lerp(a: number, b: number, t: number): number
    return if t == 1 then b else a + (b - a) * t
end

#

per the rfc

#

also idk what tests you guys are running but i find manual lerping to be ~2x slower

#

average time over 3e8 lerp calls, 5 trials each

#

NVM MY TESTS WERE BAD

#

function wasnt being inlined

#

its like microscopically faster with O(2)

#

with native its over 2x slower

#

no native support for clients though

#

honestly i really doubt you are being bottlenecked by lerp

rare goblet Mar 4, 2026, 5:38 PM

#

urban pulsar this is also another variation

the time to change the properties (specifically ScaleTo; resizing parts is comparatively very slow) will dominate over the math

#

there is a reason some people cache different size particles and switch between them; changing cframes is very quick versus changing size

#

you should run a microprofiler dump and look at the flamegraph to find what is actually taking the longest

BehaviorTrees3 + BTrees Visual Editor v3.0

Hey, I just want to point some troubles I had while updating from BT2 to BT3. Just to be clear, I am not using the plugin, I am creating the nodes using the BT3 module. I ran into a problem while using the nodes table like this: newSequence = BehaviorTree3.Sequence({ nodes = { -- Node 1 node1 = BehaviorTree3.Task({ ...

and it might be useful for making npcs act like players.

I love trying to manually calculate the exact memory addresses needed to successfully run a memory overflow shellcode* attack

#

It’s so much fun

rare goblet Mar 19, 2026, 2:00 AM

#

willow coral I love trying to manually calculate the exact memory addresses needed to success...

you cant really even calculate it because the compiler can store the return address arbitrarily on the stack

#

you gotta either brute force or the better way is to use a debugger

willow coral Mar 19, 2026, 2:23 AM

#

im pretty sure i need to figure out where on the stack the strings getting stored to and then calculate the offset up to the return address

#

so i can override it but having a hard time figuring that out in this program

rare goblet Mar 19, 2026, 2:29 AM

#

use a debugger

willow coral Mar 19, 2026, 2:45 AM

#

im using gdb but it is not helping my lack of understanding

#

i just realized the attack i was trying to go after the string was being stored in the heap and the return address is stored on the stack so that was getting nowhere

willow coral Mar 19, 2026, 3:29 AM

#

ok i found a proper buffer overflow i am so smart

rare goblet Mar 19, 2026, 4:34 PM

#

willow coral i just realized the attack i was trying to go after the string was being stored ...

heap pwn is a real thing but its more complex

#

but its more common in real-world applications (because use-after-frees and double-frees are harder to notice and defend against than a stack-based buffer overflow)

willow coral Mar 19, 2026, 4:55 PM

#

This program uses wchar_t for strings in some strange way and I’m trying to figure out why it’s not setting my address correctly

#

I think it’s only setting half of it but not the other half

is mint a good distro

#

Today I’m thinking of switching to Linux

rare goblet Mar 19, 2026, 5:14 PM

ive heard its fine

urban pulsar Mar 19, 2026, 5:15 PM

curious whats the reason for the sudden switch

frail flicker Mar 19, 2026, 5:20 PM

#

urban pulsar curious whats the reason for the sudden switch

A couple reasons, 1 is learning more about how a pc works, 2 is I want more privacy and 3 is I hate Microsoft

willow coral Mar 19, 2026, 5:24 PM

#

I’m such a genius I got it working

willow coral Mar 19, 2026, 5:24 PM

#

frail flicker is mint a good distro

If I ever switched to Linux mint is the distro I’d use

#

I think it’s generally rated one of the better and good distros

frail flicker Mar 19, 2026, 5:26 PM

#

Okay I’m gonna do a little more research

willow coral Mar 19, 2026, 5:27 PM

#

@rare goblet are you familiar with BASIC

rare goblet Mar 19, 2026, 5:27 PM

#

no

#

you could not catch me dead writing basic

willow coral Mar 19, 2026, 5:29 PM

#

oh well i have a version of basic that is coded to have memory flaws and i need to break* it

#

i spent the past 5 days creating this

fmt = "%s%s%s111122223333ab"
fmt[21] = 4210397
x = "111122223333444455556666777788889"

o = fmt % x

frail flicker Mar 19, 2026, 5:34 PM

if i get mint should i use wine to install roblox and studio or just use sober

what protections does the executable have

willow coral Mar 19, 2026, 5:38 PM

#

It has some protections disabled I don’t remember everything off the top of my head

#

I’m not that good

rare goblet Mar 19, 2026, 5:38 PM

#

is the stack executable

#

and is aslr disabled

willow coral Mar 19, 2026, 5:39 PM

#

aslr is yeah

#

Not sure about the stack executable

rare goblet Mar 19, 2026, 5:39 PM

#

are you overriding the return address to run code you wrote?

willow coral Mar 19, 2026, 5:40 PM

#

I don’t actually know how to write shellcode so for this I’m just overwriting it with another function to prove you can attack the program

#

It’s a decently long program so auditing took a decent time

rare goblet Mar 19, 2026, 5:41 PM

#

is this running on windows or linux

willow coral Mar 19, 2026, 5:41 PM

#

Linux but I think it works on windows

#

The program implements a max Unicode character check incorrectly and alongside a stupid stack buffer efficiency along with the program fails to compute its true length if there’s more than 2 format strings in it

rare goblet Mar 19, 2026, 5:42 PM

#

a single executable cant work on both windows and linux

willow coral Mar 19, 2026, 5:42 PM

#

You can easily overflow it

#

It’s not an executable I said that wrong

frail flicker Alright I’m switching to arch Linux

dont do this to yourself

rare goblet Mar 20, 2026, 4:19 AM

#

frail flicker if i get mint should i use wine to install roblox and studio or just use sober

studio on linux isnt the greatest

#

it might depend on hardware but in my experience its very flickery

#

though i tried a bit ago and it seemed maybe a bit better than a while ago?

#

dont use wine, use vinegar (its a fork of wine specifically for studio). sober is for the client, not studio

no

#

i might remember something about it being based on server size but that might have been a feature request

willow coral Mar 20, 2026, 5:32 PM

i did some research and yeah it does seem to be pretty limited and based on server size

unfortunate i was hoping for more actors to be able to run at once
