ROBLOX on Macs?


Recently Telamon tweeted saying there was a Mac Alpha on the ROBLOX sitetest. I can only presume this means the Mac PC's made by Apple. If the ROBLOX team are getting close to bringing the game out for Macs, then it is brilliant News! For years they have been trying to get them to work on Macs and now maybe it will happen! This will benefit the company as several ROBLOX players own macs, but only use the actual website. This may incline players to buy a type of BC once they truly discover the game! What do you think about it? Post your thoughts and comments below!

New shadows!

As some of you may know, the ROBLOX team have been working on ambient shadows for around two weeks now and they have finally released them to the full site. This feature favours the slightly better graphics card (medium-high) and will turn them selves off if the frame rate goes below 30. This will reduce lagg and decide whether your PC can handle the new graphics. I think the new shadows are a good update and desserve a lot of attention! If you have any thoughts on the new shadows, please comment below.

Diosus's Guide to hat Retexturing

Ever wondered how those people make hats look different from their original form? Ever wanted to do it to? Well now you can! That proccess is known as rextexturing. It basically involves editing the image on the hat and then uploading that image. Its great fun and is a cool way to impress your friends and get some respect in the community. Wanna learn how? Just follow these simple steps i've written down for you and you'l be on your way!

REQUIREMENTS:
1. A simple image editing program that can be any thing from as simple as Paint to an advanced program like Photoshop.

THE STEPS:
1. Enter one of your places and insert that hat you desire. You can pretty much find a decent copy of all hats laying around Free Models.
2. Next, open up properties of the mesh inside the hat and find the TextureID in the mesh.
and in your browser type www.roblox.com/item.aspx?ID= with the numbers at the end of
the TextureID at the end of that.
3. You will see a image , copy that image into the image editer of your choice and edit it
In any way you want to.
4. Once your done, save the image as a .png format and upload it to roblox as a decal.
5.Put the decal on a brick in your place and copy the TextureID of the decal and then past it in the TextureID of the mesh (Remove the old one)
6. Your retexture is done injoy!

Hey Everyone!


Hey everyone i'm Diosus! I'd like to introduce myself today to everyone as the newest writer for Roblox News! I've been writing aroung for a good while about several games including Roblox on multiple sights such as Wordpress and Blogspot and I consider my self to be a bit of an experianced blogger/Writer.I'd like to thank Arbirator for accepting my request to help out around here and so i'll be around writing posts on this site for atleast a good while! Well thats pretty much it for now. Bye!

Ninja Land

The key two being a ninja is to have the right tools. For example; If you were dressed like this person you would not be a Full real ninja. You would only be half a ninja. But to be like a real ninja, You would have to buy this tool! The Ronin Katana. One of Robloxes most famous ninja tools. When I try'd it out, I found out it was very good for pushing right up against your target and ether, just moving side to side on your target or hitting him constantly. Both of them together seems to be a quicker way of killing them. So, I would rate this item, 3/10 for looks, 4/10 damage and 1/10 for range. Altogether 8/10 for the ratings.
