The Current Roblox News: How to make a mix with Music!

Believe it or not I'm quite old, just I'm very tiny. :P

So anyway, how to mix Music:
3 scripts, all called Music, with Music inside of them with an ID.
1 script:
while true do
script.Music.Pitch = 1
script.Music.Volume = 5
script.Music:play()
end
Script 2:

while true do
script.Music.Pitch = 2
script.Music.Volume = 5
script.Music:play()
end
Script 3: while true do
script.Music.Pitch = 3
script.Music.Volume = 5
script.Music:play()
end
that makes them one be faster than the other. And makes a nice tune as you will see on the video.

Answer The Poll!!!!

Answer the poll question "Will you participate in any events if we had any?" in the sidebar to the right! We really need this information to make your experience even better!

Will Buying the Snowflake Shuttershades Be a profit?


  The question has been asked and here is the answer.
It will be a profit, a very high one.It has been on sale for 2 hours, there were only 200 sold. The original price was 1000 and  the cheapest price on the list is 3k. So if you have the money buy it why'll it still in the thousands.

Arbirator Interview

Hi guys, this is Michaelverycool2, and I am just posting that the owner of a ROBLOX blog that we are partnered with got interviewed for the ROBLOX Developer's Journal. the player interviewed was... Arbirator!!! Read about it below, which is a copy of the interview. Also, you can click the link down there.

Meet an Interesting ROBLOXian: Arbirator

arbiratorMeet Arbirator, creator and Editor-in-Chief of one of ROBLOX’s most popular player news sites. We caught up with him for an interview about his ROBLOX game playing experiences.

What do you want your fellow ROBLOXians to know about you?

I run a ROBLOX blog called ‘Arbirator’s ROBLOX News‘ that has 160,000 views so far this year and a staff of 14 volunteers. It is a blog that informs ROBLOX players of the latest news on the game, whether it is updates, new site features, event news or interviews, there’s always something new! We interview ROBLOX users and also review popular places. Roblox News also occasionally runs contests for it’s followers and consequently some cool retextures have been published to the catalog by Telamon and Brighteyes!

Why do you play ROBLOX?

I play ROBLOX because it a huge online world in which I can do anything. I enjoy playing games and meeting new players. ROBLOX gives me the opportunity to use my imagination; it is somewhere where I can explore my creativity in several areas such as game building and working with mesh textures. I play it because I can talk with friends and interact with them in-game, I can build whatever I can imagine (although my scripting needs a bit of work), I can purchase items from the catalog, and I can debate new topics in the varied ROBLOX forums. It’s unique, addicting and promotes user freedom.

Tell us something cool that happened to you recently on ROBLOX.

Well, my hat retexture Soviet Ushanka was published to the ROBLOX catalog, but the most recent cool thing that happened to me was buying and selling the Purple Sparkle Time Fedora; this made me a lot of profit and the most ROBUX I have ever had!

What is your favorite thing on ROBLOX?

I would say my favourite thing to do is to participate in the ROBLOX events which occur at several intervals during the year. My top favourite is definitely Christmas because I love earning gifts for specific achievements within the game. I enjoy building games but am often too busy to create them, so I usually go on the forum ROBLOX Talk and occasionally interview users.

Where do you like to go for vacations?

I like going to Cornwall in the south west of England for my summer holidays. In the winter holidays however, I usually pay a visit to either Switzerland, Austria or Germany to ski in the beautiful mountains.

Game review: Fight To Survive Telamon And His Evil Chickens ! by Joeafire

Hey, guys! It's Greenball10 again, and this time, I'm posting a game review that someone wanted me to review! :D Well, here it is.

Idea: 8.92/10 - Everyone has played a game like "F1GHT 2 SURVIV THUH GUY HOO HURTZ U," but this game is different. There are 2 Telamons, and around 10 chickens, which are probably corrupted, or have had their head chopped off. Either way, they don't move until you get close to them. That's the first Fight To Survive that I've played where something like that happens. Then, at the spawn point, you spawn on top of a tall tower, so you don't spawn down below, where some noob could have led them to the spawn. It's a great idea.

Gameplay: 9.12/10 - The gameplay is great, but there are only 2 things that I think could be changed. First of all, the speed of the Telamons is a bit too high, I think. I understand why they go faster than the chickens, but they don't have to be TOO fast, and if Telamon really didn't run that fast, my computer could have been odd, and only lagging the chickens. The other thing is that you can actually destroy the spawn tower with a rocket launcher! That needs to be fixed, or people could spawn on the ground! Otherwise, it's great.

Effort: 6.10/10 - The effort wasn't as great as everything else, just because a lot of it was free models. I'm not mad at people who use free models, and I sure as heck don't call them noobs. They're there to use! Even I used some for my obby! It's a great game, but the effort was lowered a bit for free models. If he had built those Telamon statues himself, it'd be a 10/10 for effort!

Overall: 8.04666667/10 - This game was VERY well made, and purely thought out...amazingly! You should go visit it! Just go to "People," type in "Joeafire" and go to his page, then play his game! AMAZING. Best Fight To Survive I've ever played.

The Current Roblox News Has A NEW Look!

        We now have a brand new look that should be MUCH more faster and way more efficient! The only bad things are that we can not add any of those gadgets that we had before. Expect the site to be changing a lot for the next couple hours and the theme will change every holiday/season since it is much more easier now. I might switch back to totally editable themes where we have more freedom but this should be way faster so I'm going to wait and see what happens. Please post whether you like this change or not in the comments and what we should add/change!

New Halloween Paintball?

Hey, it's Greenball10! There's a new game made by ROBLOX, and it's Paintball!

In this game, you have 2 teams. The Pumpkin Men, and the Creatures, which vary every round. It's a game of capturing the control points. Each player gets a paintball gun and a sword. And with that... there are also a few badges, and with those badges...come...HATS!

To get the hat, you need to get the badge! Now, the hat that you get for being on the winning team, is self-explanatory on how to get. Be on the winning team!

The hat "Fearless" is obtained by touching a statue that is hidden in the map! I'm not telling where, though...(Cheater...)

Now, the MVP badge/hat is tough to get. I obtained it while the server was all getting other badges, but it was still REALLY hard. You need to get the most points on the entire server, but don't need to be on the winning team.

Now, the badge/hat "Scarecrow" is REALLY hard to get. You need to shoot all the crows on the server, which there are around 12 of, and then shoot the dinosaur that is flying around, a certain amount of times!

Well, that's a basic synopsis of the game and the badges. I hope you go there, and have TONS of fun!

ROBLOX Has A New "Send Message Limit"

Now the message limit that everyone hates on the forums has made it's way to your private messages. I think the limit is like 4 messages in a minute (I don't know for sure but I had 5 PMs and I could reply to only 4 until the time was up). This will filter a lot of spam.. Well actually I don't believe it will since it's timed and you can start sending after 1 minute has gone by (or less).

New Halloween Background on the ROBLOX Website! Post By stuntkid257

A new background was added to the site for Halloween this year! Last year it was an okay background in my opinion, but this year's I like a lot! You can see it yourself when you log in on ROBLOX. I'm not sure if every ROBLOX member can see the background but I know for a fact OBC members can see it. Here's a screen shot of the new background:

*Extremely Delayed Post* ROBLOX Site Back Up

It is now back up for you to enjoy and explore!

ROBLOX Site Maitenance

The roblox.com site is currently down for a "scheduled" maintenance. The site randomly got VERY slow yesterday-today and today just stopped loading images and screwed up completely. I do not believe this is scheduled but that's just my opinion. They say to restart your browser and I have done that, still no ROBLOX. Stay tuned on ROBLOX.com until it's back up is all you can do.

#11 Gift?

On twitter, IBarrageI tweeted a link to the #11 gift but it comes out in 2 days. The gift looks like this:
#11
Pieperson50 commented on the model created by hellopp1404 and said "Brainbot will be inside." But what does "Brainbot" look like? Maybe it's an electronic brain or something along the lines of that. Who knows if this will be the 11th gift, it can be any other gift. ROBLOX should post it in 2 days. So we just have to wait and see.

Terrain Generator | Review By stuntkid257

The new Terrain Generator finally came out earlier today! It was introduced at ROBLOX's first ROBLOX Rally in August. There are new plugins at the top of your screen in ROBLOX studio.
When you click on the icon, a GUI will appear that will look like this:


You can choose what kind of terrain you want with these options above. Then when your done, click on the "Generate" button and the terrain should load! There are many other terrain generator plugins as well:








Builder: Creates a new piece of terrain anywhere you click and auto-smooths it too.


Remover: Deletes a piece of terrain in the map.


Elevation Adjuster: You can adjust the elevation the terrain is at.


Brush: Smooths out the terrain by clicking on a piece of terrain.


Plateau: Deletes a layer of the terrain and flattens it out.


Crater: Creates a giant crater where ever you click.


Orb: Makes an orb where ever you click.


Roads: Click once to set the starting point and again to set the end point of the road.


Overall, the terrain generator is a very useful plugin. You can use it for RPG's, Hide 'N' Seek maps, or anything you can think of! There will be more plugins in the near future that will making building here at ROBLOX a whole lot easier!

Catalog Heaven | Game Review By stuntkid257

At Catalog Heaven, you can try on ANY hat, gear, face, package and many others as well. It's all under a GUI that you can search anything from the catalog. There is a very helpful GUI which shows you what hats, package, gear, face, shirt, and pants you are wearing in-game. You can also change the colors of you body. When you select a gear, you can teleport to the baseplate at the bottom of the map and test it on people! If it's alright with them. This game has been on the front page a couple of times and people are still visiting it ever since it came out. I even visit the Catalog Heaven often to try on different hats and gears. You should visit there sometime! The Catalog Heaven is created by Seranok.

New Reset Button???

I don't know if this was only at the place I was at or if it is at all the places but this new reset button is pretty cool. BUT it can break MANY games such as my Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, where if the player dies the WHOLE SERVER is broken forever.

How to make Text shining on one half!

An Example saying "Text". This is not a hard process at all!

You will need:
Paint.NET
A brain
Memory
To listen to this tutorial :P


So for starters we open up Paint.NET. Then we click new lets say 500x500.















Then you add a new Layer and de-visible the backround by clicking the tick on the Backround Layer.














You will click text and adjust it to your liking!! I usually have it at Arial with size 70.















Type in your text and move it to the perfect place. And it should fit like this.















Then you should add the Ecclipse like this... then you could do something easy.















Get the Filler and make the colour Light Grey or Dark Grey and fill the ecclipsed side. Also don't forget to change it to Flood mode to Global.


















Then Deselect it and click Effects Glow and Ok.



















And there we have it I'd use this skill in my ads if I were you.

Follow me on Twitter to get a private lesson.

More tutorials soon!! They will get from Simple, to Complicated.
You should follow me on Twitter anyway because I come up with some Random Updates. @Zakary99
