rojo-rbx / rojo.space Goto Github PK

On the introduction page, it says "Many Rojo VS Code users also use extensions like:" and gives a list with vscode-rbxlua, Roblox Lua Autocompletes, and TabNine.

vscode-rbxlua is outdated now that we have luau-lsp or RobloxLsp.
Roblox Lua Autocompletes is superseded by luau-lsp.

I'm not sure if it's accurate that many rojo users use TabNine either.

I had to redo rojo and my Roblox studio game around 5 times because of this issue, I can't tell what is supposed to be built and whats not. This may be me not reading any docs for how to use rojo, but I haven't found one (if someone has a link to that and how to insert stuff like Remove Events, I would be happy to read it.) redoing the process of setting up VScode. can anyone help me understand what goes on when rojo builds your preexisting game. Or do I have to manually create folders and name it exactly the ones on Roblox studio?

Just want to say: thank you for the amazing effort put into this project. It has made developing this game a lot simpler. The game is RoBeats Community Server, we released a beta build on 5/21/2021. Thank you!

I often use the same project.json configuration for my games, but its very tedious to have to always remake the same configuration on a new project. I think a really good feature to have apart would to be to make it so that the extension/cli allows to you to save and load a configuration for your project to save time when using rojo. An added benefit is that users could share configurations among each other seamlessly.

I am trying to install/use Rojo for the first time. I am just confused about how it all works, what are the different pieces. There's a server and a Roblox plugin and ??? How does it all work? How does Rojo know which directory is the code you care about? How does Rojo know which Roblox game is the game you care about? How does Rojo know to stitch this directory on your machine to that folder object in your Roblox Project?

A soup-to-nuts walkthrough would really help.

RainyLofi is a programmer for Grand Army of the Republic and he uses Rojo to code the game.
I do not own the game, but I am giving a notice that GAR's Coruscant uses Rojo for their codebase.

The game is rojo managed with a private github repository, It's extremely useful for my workflow and has reached a million visits already.

here is the adopted logo

As of Rojo 7.4.0 (whenever that happens), MaterialColors can be live synced as a normal property. It takes a custom format that we should document.

Right now we embed the output of MkDocs, which doesn't fit in with the rest of Rojo's branding and is a little bit jarring.

Instead, we should consume all the MarkDown documentation and embed it into our nifty custom theme like Roblox TS does with their docs.

Lots of games use Rojo!

We should show them off on Rojo's home page to promote them and help give credibility to Rojo.

The Rojo installation page states that the Rojo VS Code extension will install "both halves of Rojo" (the CLI and the Roblox Studio plugin) for you. However, after installing this extension, then following the Creating a Game with Rojo instructions, my system is unable to find a "rojo" command. Running the "rojo" command from a cmd or PowerShell terminal just gives me the typical error when a command can't be found.

I've checked my drive and see no "rojo.exe" or other executable. There seems to be a missing step in the installation instructions.

This must happen after Rojo 7.4 releases, whenever that is.

i always get this error:
Rojo encountered an unknown error: httperror: connectfail

Hello,

I am one of the developers of Funky Friday (JavaCoded). We have been using Rojo + private git server since the beginning of development and Rojo has been a substantial help with developing the game.

Thanks.

Document: https://rojo.space/docs/v6/workflows/

This would be pretty useful for a lot of the end users on Rojo to have code snippets or an example project file that they could play with and implement into their games. Perhaps someone could speak to one of the large fully managed Rojo users and see what they'd be willing to share from their structure / build processes? 😄

It would be nice if the Rojo plugin was able to remember the last host and port used & then auto-populate on load. I imagine this could be done pretty easily using plugin settings and using the PlaceId as a unique key.

Using different ports is necessary in multi-place workflows that are being synced at the same time.

Remodel has been formally sunset in favor of Lune and we shouldn't recommend people use it on the doc site.

I decided to make a big list of suggestions and changes needed

• Rojo docs needed changes
  • Main Page
    • I dont think we need the "games using rojo" anymore (it is popular and known enough and not worth getting issues for "add x game") ❌
    • New Maintainers Page (#106)
  • Introduction Page
    • we can recommend luau-lsp in the Tools section
    • we can add a new video about rojo, from connect 2023 event (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaaAf3_5S7g)
    • extensions under the External Text editors section is outdated
  • Help Page
    • help page can be merged with introduction
  • Gettings Started Page
    • Aftman for install guide (#112)
    • encouraging lune over remodel and maybe rbxlx-to-rojo tool made with lune if it is possible
  • Project Format Page
    • document optional path feature
  • Properties Page
    • Document Font Type (#99) (and other implicit format changes that we discussed)
  • Sync Details Page
    • we can have better images for explaining init.lua behaviour (with photos from both filesystem and roblox explorer)
    • we can add a warning in to the Limitations section about why some properties cannot be rojo served but only rojo build (pluginsecurity stuff)
    • Meta file example with actors (since people ask about it a lot )
  • Recommended Workflows Page
    • detailed explanation / guide for fully managed and the differences between fully and partially managed workflows
  • Rojo Alternatives Page
    • all the "rojo alternatives" are pretty much old and outdated, we dont need to recommend those
  • Upgrading From Rojo 6 Page
    • this page can be renamed to Migration from old versions and sectioned out for each version to easily read multiple version migration on the same page (instead of changing to old version of doc for each version migration)

Current guidance:

You'll need an existing game on Roblox.com as well as the. ROBLOSECURITY cookie of an account that has write access to that game.

The new guidance should talk about the latest (and I assume preferred?) Open Cloud guidance - see rojo-rbx/rojo#504 for details. We might want to keep the cookie guidance for legacy support, but it should be made clear from a security perspective that it is not the ideal method and won't work in CI deployments (because cookies reset on IP change).
