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:

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:

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
