Music: Difference between revisions
began working on Music. got a good draft going for the Local Assets part, but the External Services part is to include various methods to use hosted online links for music (dropbox, personal websites, github)... AND ALSO INCLUDING THE FACT THAT this may not work depending on trustcheck, which varies based upon revival and launchers

After long hours of looking through old ROBLOX games in studio, it would not take long to discover a link which includes the term <code>rbxasset://</code>. This phrase, '''rbxasset''', is in reference to the '''content''' folder which is in every old ROBLOX client folder. An example of this link used in action is with the default face, which is called '''face.png''' in the '''textures''' folder.

You can add your own music in your own custom folder through the same method, but this method would only work locally on your own computer. If you publish a game with a local redirect, other players will not be able to hear nor see any custom assets you use in the game — you would have to give them the custom folder, and tell them to put it in the content folder for it to work. | |||
If the custom folder which includes your music is not located in the client's content folder, you can use the term <code>..</code> as a way to go backwards. An example of this method is commonly used on [[Novetus]], as the launcher uses their own folder called '''shareddata''' to keep their selection of old ROBLOX games running throughout multiple clients. To find a file called '''music.mp3''' inside the shareddata folder, You would first escape the content folder to get into your specific client's folder. Then, you would escape into where the clients on Novetus are located, which is in the '''clients''' folder. Finally, you would then escape into the main Novetus folder, which is where the shareddata folder is located. The final result would be <code>rbxasset:/../../../shareddata/music.mp3</code> | |||
Please keep in mind that these custom redirect links may change depending on your computer's folder structure, and to double-check the logic of your redirect whenever things go south. | |||
