My 2007 Client Build

[heavy basin]

decided to make this into a thread instead of cluttering retro builds more

further ui improvements, added a stats page, fixed teapots of doom. gunna add some more to the teapots, like a bigger map and different sizes. Currently working on a cross-server cross-place datastore for avatar customization and player counts

SFOTH remake map and gameplay leak 👀

[heavy basin]

Mobile appearance. Toolbar doesn’t scale correctly so it’s pretty hard to play; btools also don’t work

[heavy basin]

working on all the more buttons. basically has a screenshot from the game along with a description about it

now funcitonal

[heavy basin]

Doing a lil more work on the datastore instead of sleeping

this is cool

[coral quartz]

turn of guiinset

• u should focus on the 2007 ui more

doesnt look, well, realistic

[heavy basin]

It’s a direct rip from a 2007 client?

[heavy basin]

I have it in a localscript and for whatever reason it tells me it needs to be in a local script to work, which doesn’t make any sense since it is indeed in a localscript 🤣. Same script works in all my other games so idk what’s up with it. Haven’t bothered looking into it

[heavy basin]

Probably doesn’t look right because 2007 was never made for mobile. At first it didn’t work at all, although rn it’s still not great 🤷‍♂️

[azure pivot]

isn't there a way to change the mobile buttons?

you could look for the very first mobile show off and recreate those buttons

@heavy basin

[heavy basin]

Oo true. I believe there is, I just haven’t done any mobile development

On anything

[azure pivot]

well i guess it's time you start it

[heavy basin]

yup

[willow pilot]

I know those free models when I see them

[heavy basin]

the playerlist is. everything else is from novetus 2007M client

[willow pilot]

it's not about the images it's about the scripts

[heavy basin]

which ones

[willow pilot]

backpack and chat

[coral quartz]

and playerlist

[heavy basin]

already mentioned that

[coral quartz]

oh

[heavy basin]

not everything is mine, but a lot is

playerlist definitely isn't mine

you can find that model pretty much anywhere lol

classic illumina function

[azure pivot]

you could probably make the classic version of the particles

if you know how to use the ParticleEmitter, of course

[heavy basin]

ye

flipped and renamed buttons cause they were backwards

text looks a lil larger because textscaled is enabled so the mobile buttons aren't wack

what's odd is the 2007 buttons in the actual client aren't center aligned but also aren't all the way to the left

actually have spaces in front of a left alignment LOL

[azure pivot]

wait are you making a custom studio? those buttons to the side with the robloxian look very retrostudio-ish (or old roblox-ish)

or is that some studio extension you have downloaded?

[heavy basin]

The left is a 2007 roblox client with edit mode (roblox studio)

Right is modern day

[azure pivot]

oh

still wished there was a studio version

[heavy basin]

at some point i'll do that. hella commitment tho

[azure pivot]

oof

[heavy basin]

to do it to the level of retrostudio would def take a year or more for me considering my lower free time and one man who's never done anything like it before

what they've done is insane

[azure pivot]

well it doesn't have to be as crazy as block coding

you can just do the usual stuff you'd see in 2007 studio, like a list of furniture-like stuff, the tools and etc

you don't have to add scripting

[heavy basin]

ye I do plan on making the edit list useable

so you can edit your own place a little bit

unrelated but NUKE

[azure pivot]

that doesn't look very 2007-ish

[heavy basin]

It’s not 🤣

[heavy basin]

thanks

[heavy basin]

Alright

Haven’t posted any updates in a bit

I’m working on fixing the undead coming and expanding it a little

Players all work and spawn correctly now. Zombie models don’t load correctly at the moment

[azure pivot]

nice

[heavy basin]

Ye

[heavy basin]

haven't been able to work on it since the attack done on my workstation; my windows drive is pretty much fucked. i've attempted to fix it through linux but i've had very mixed results. might have to wipe everything and start fresh

i've also been grinding out assembly and c++ to get ahead in school

In progress

[heavy basin]

This was the first version I made of said leaderboard. The current thing uses some styling from a direct game rip and one of those free model ones, it looks similar but if you grab one of them it won’t be the same, in functionality or look. Now, I DO need my own system for leaderstats. I was initially digging through the novetus 2007 client in an exe2hex editor I use on the linux side of things that basically decompiled it; however, using said code, although the most accurate to the time, wouldn’t be functional in a 2022 client 🤣. 15 years of lua updates won’t be kind to a non-polished product from 2007

Cry

It ain’t gunna be a finished product day 1 🤣

[azure pivot]

looks like someone's mad because of a free model

[heavy basin]

🤣

[heavy basin]

Cause they’re both modeled off of 2007 client

[azure pivot]

i'm bored

My computer is ded

[heavy basin]

appearance in a multiplayer setting

https://www.roblox.com/games/11397383940/2-Double-Oh-Seven-ENGINE-TEST-SERVER test server for these changes. they will not be reflected in the main game until the leaderboard is fully functional and some other things i want to do. let me know if you find any bugs

[languid hazel]

Add arm collision for maximum funness

[heavy basin]

I’m planning on adding it as an option

Or maybe by default

[storm plaza]

retro dev users try not to get unreasonably angry over a minuscule non-issue

[heavy basin]

funny thing is its not even the free model knockoff version

the free model leaderboard doesnt have leaderstats 🥴

[storm plaza]

ture

[heavy basin]

it is initially based off of it, but the code itself is good. just adding to it

time saver lol

[hasty ledge]

omg hi dapieday

[heavy basin]

wassup

[hasty ledge]

Hyd !!!

[heavy basin]

Balls

[plush pebble]

@heavy basin i recommend aspect ratio constraints and anchorpoints

it will fix stretching

[heavy basin]

I have it for most things. Some (such as leaderstats) do not scale properly to phones

Thanks for reminding me though i forgot to convert that 🤣

[plush pebble]

fixed

[heavy basin]

LOL

I’ll fix it dw

[azure pivot]

huh, took a while for any news on this

retro-er blox but better be like

cool game though

[river ridge]

I am SO MAD that you have INSULTED a game that I haven't updated in a MONTH, and then completely ignored.

[inland ridge]

game's good but this one's better

[river ridge]

yeah but I put no effort into mine so I think mine's better

[inland ridge]

what

🫃

[river ridge]

I was trying to make a joke about how I'm sarcastically defending my game despite not touching it for over a month and leaving it quite buggy, but I couldn't finish it.

[inland ridge]

i know

[inland ridge]

i realized like a min after saying this

KyndaKold is typing..

[river ridge]

Anyways Xapieday's game is objectively better as it can't just fall back on using retrostudio's built in stuff and is still being improved, while my game is mostly just retrostudio's 2009 with a fake character and some janky guis.

that's what **KyndaKold **was typing..

[inland ridge]

retrostudio is still advanced but this studio is def better

cause

yknow

retrostudio is made with studio

and stuff

yeah

[river ridge]

what?

[inland ridge]

what?

[magic yacht]

sick

i like it

[rapid magnet]

ROBLO X is even better

[rapid magnet]

what version of roblox is your build based off of

[storm plaza]

2002

[heavy basin]

2007M from novetus which is a mid 2007 rip in of itself

[rapid magnet]

march 2007 still has controllerflags

controllerflags were removed in 2009

april 2009 to be exact

[heavy basin]

I don’t have any cars or anything but i wanna make a proper controllerflag game at some point

[magic yacht]

what are controllerflags?

[rapid magnet]

go check https://robloxopolis.com and check the archive for info on controllerflags

[magic yacht]

so you could control things by adding a controllerflag to them?

[heavy basin]

Haven’t posted an update in years because I took a very long hiatus from roblox, but anyways, I’ve made some progress recently

UI is now fully functional. General player list, FFA, or 2 team based. Backpack is dynamic and adds or removes gears as you get them. Chat unfortunately broke in a recent update (so you will only see your own chats locally and no others), but otherwise all good. Physics are closer to what they should be, but arm collision isn’t quite right if you compare it to 2007 era physics. I would also like to redo the stud texture as this one is kinda iffy in my opinion. Character customization is nonexistent still as I’m legit just starting this project back up. Working on the points system and will use that for era specific hats, then allow classic color changes, and change the player to the correct colors for team games (all black body with team color torso). Some basic shirts and whatnot too eventually. Idk what I’m gunna do to connect it all yet so that will probably take a while

Also mainly just fixed a whole mountain of bugs that popped up over the last couple years away from development. Obviously still bugs to work on, but far more playable than before.

BTools work in the starter place (fixed the previously fixed versions of them by clonetrooper), gears are fixed, etc. No character customization yet, nor have I liked the ko/wo function to a data store, but it does count the places you visit and gives you a badge for trying all of them. Also added a player count list through a different datastore that returns the complete player count from all servers of a specific subgame

I am aware the lighting is a bit inconsistent after the removal of compatibility.

The font is inconsistent in this video but has been fixed overall. Also gunna redo the game icons in a bit

This is the current homepage. Idk what to replace the center magenta bar with, but it’s pretty ugly I think. Maybe just move the games closer together and then add different pages with other games. Lots of classic revivals, some with my own twists, and I’d love to design more era specific games. I didn’t start developing until 2009 and thus nothing I made is really 2007 era, although some of my early games are very close to something you could theoretically run in a 2007 environment

And finally, I’ve been using the novetus 2007M client as a reference since it’s a genuine roblox build that’s just set up to be used in the “modern era”

Anyways, if you read all of this, thank you. Let me know if you have suggestions. Idk what kind of progress I’ll make as I’m married with a 2 year old now and have a career and stuff, so my life is pretty busy and doesn’t leave too much room for this anymore 💔.

End of update post for now

[heavy basin]

They are no more 😛, saw this scrolling through and had to update u lol. Slow progress though and I’ll definitely never finish this 👎😔

[heavy basin]

If you compare to old builds, the UI is significantly improved upon and doesn’t look like a complete mess. Not 1:1 with og builds, but close

[dense brook]

son

[heavy basin]

Man it took 3 years to bother updating it 😭😭

I’ll polish it in another 3

U missed the glory days 💔

[dense brook]

erm.

[heavy basin]

??

[heavy basin]

my first place file from 2009 does open mostly intact in the 2007 client. compared to the screenshots i have of it in 2011. so i could probably redesign it in the novetus 2007M client and then port it back to modern roblox so it's "2007 compatible"

[heavy basin]

team colors and less stud contrast

[heavy basin]

btools and such

[heavy basin]

better stud png

[heavy basin]

slightly better old physics
