Metuex Developer's Journal

Metuex is back! And it has a new logo!

It will have an evolution and this version will be mid 2007 so no more stress. However, the client fucked up so i have to rebuild it now.

Also, we have a Discord now. https://discord.gg/TthTAWu5yA

Feb 2022. We meet again, Michael. Michael Bjornasky.

So what’s the stance on Metuex? Has Metuex been cancelled and forgetten about? Half of it.

I’ve completely forgotten about Metuex as of now.

Which is why there’s been no updates since Valve New Years.

So i’ll release the unfinished Metuex soon as 1.5, then when i’m ready to focus on some old Roblox revival again, 2.0 will be on it’s way!

I can’t believe it’s 2022!

But anyways, yeah i found a tutorial to set the hex codes and not just the offsets.

You could’ve seen it in this oddly humongous  amount of photos i took here of it in the August 2006 rendition of Crossroads, but for SOME reason FrontCam pictures won’t save. So for now, this is the only proof:

Nice, ey? Sorry if it’s squished, tried by best.

Yes, the lack of a “Rocket” icon wasn’t a mistake – i discovered that even in mid 2006, there was no Rocket icon. But unlike the other tools, it still works.

I doubt it was even there in early 2006… But i still think it’s interesting of the Bloom and DOF.

See you guys later!

Thought it was interesting

Ok, so it’s not THAT exciting. However these removing features barely ever work, so it’s kind of a milestone.

Well, today i was editing the character for METUEX. As i figured, loading it in Metuex Studio loads the pre defined form for March 2007 humanoids, not Jan 2006. (I actually compared the original file to the modified in Metuex Studio one in Notepad.)  But then seeing all those files i decided to disable health instead of jumping for right now. So then i modified the Health file, didn’t work. So i modified it again in the Studio and found it was disabled so check that and done.

And now, it works! Well, the Health GUI still shows, but who knows – maybe they had a full health bar as a placeholder back then!

Health Test :3

(And since i don’t want to sound like a grumpy old man, Happy New Years!)

So you know how i’m looking for the March 2006 humanoid? Yeah, been unsuccessful so far. But i did get something better…

So today, i found out i got accepted to the ROBLOX Client Search Discord. I found that THEY have the March 2006 humanoid. So then, as anyone who discovers someone having something rare, i tried to go into contact with them by finding the discord server.

Well, i introduced myself and all, and today i found i got accepted! So of course my first resort was going to general, and asking for a March 2006 humanoid because i have this game and all’o that. So this person gave me this whole thing about how if you get a 2006 humanoid it ain’t gonna behave differently. But then someone else joined in (admin) and simplified that. So i said if i can still have it. They said yes, if it’s onsale. I don’t know what that’s all’o ’bout, but then right after the other person gave me the January 11, 2006 humanoid. Which after a search, is actually the earliest humanoid.

So i don’t think i’ll give a crap about the March 2006 humanoid by now. Now i have something earlier! And no, i’m not giving the download. Go ask the Client Search Discord for it. Or better yet, don’t bother them at all.

There is more 2006 stuff where that came from and i’ll add those too.

Yep! Map uploading has finally been implemented. With some help from the internet (because i’m a PHP noob) you can finally upload all the games you want. Just click on the “Upload” link in the header, select either A .RBXL OR .RBXM file, and you SHOULD see a upload processed screen! You should then go to the games pages and after refreshing the cache see your map!

Note: You’ll have to refresh your cache every time the games page is accessed.

Aswell, you’ll be able to download a map simply by clicking on it’s name!

Happy Uploading!

Well, not exactly yet. But later on today, i will start working on a way you can upload maps without all that forums crap.

The way it’ll work is pretty simple. There will be a upload page soon, and it’ll write your file to the “Maps” folder. It will also check for the file extension being exactly “.rbxl” before uploading it because you know how hackers are, and i was going to hide the file extensions, but it’ll show them incase it backfires and hackers find a way around the file extensions slop.

But along with the games the website already provides, in the maps folder there is a page with the files list. So that page will be embedded in there.

But yeah, pretty simple post. Also Metuex 0.2 is coming fairly soon, but it could take a long while as i cannot disable jumping and the leaderboards (neither of those existed in early, early 2006). Metuex 0.1.5 might come first instead of 0.2, because i got the Timebomb, supersafechat, the report button, and animations mostly removed (the mesh is blank and the image for the bomb no longer exists). But if you see a bomb button just don’t click it, because it crashes the whole game. If i can’t remove leaderboard and timebomb by 3 weeks i’ll just have to accept it and release it with those features.

Shoutout to Reisen Udongein Inaba and TarePandy, first is the second account on the forums and other being the first person to talk about my revival (on Bwitter)!

Yeah i know, you’re asking, “where is everything?”.

Well, let me tell you the full story.

So only a day ago or something i bought a new .com domain for Metuex instead of the subdomain, because i like abusing the fact i have unlimited subdomains. However, when my projects are really special to me, i buy a .com domain for them instead of abusing the millel.xyz domain (which is an under construction search engine if you’re curious). So, i had to wait a while, i expected it to be up in a day as DreamHost said, but proved to be open in only like a half hour.

So i started the process. I assigned the old domain to have the same user as Metuex.com, so of course that meant if i edited either website i could access both of them at once. So i deleted the folder for Metuex.com, renamed the old domain’s folder to the one for Metuex.com, and then made a completely new folder with the same name as Meteuex.millel.xyz.
