- Added the following Place Contest (August 2022) entries:
- Zork - Bowlarama
- Added the following plugins from early versions of 2012 to 2012M:
- Time of Day
- Input Info
- Plateaus
- Orbs
- Moved all additional 2012M plugins into a seperate plugin folder (novetusadditions)
- Novetus now uses a baseplate as its default place when launching Studio with no map.
- Added %generatescript% - Allows non-2007 clients to generate scripts. Equivalent to the "Generate scripts and fix map loading for 2007/2012+" option.
- The ClientScript Tester will use this for testing purposes.
Fixes:
- Fixed an issue where assetdelivery links wouldn't work well with the Asset Fixer or other SDK tools that use downloading.
- Fixed a few grammatical errors with the Asset Fixer.
- NOTE: this client is VERY experimental and a WIP. It may be removed at any time for any reason.
- You can now change the "blank" place that loads up when studio loads with no map. Just replace "Place1.rbxl" in the config folder with one of your choice!
- If you want to use the new Mod Package Creator for the first time, make sure to use a clean, unmodified Novetus install. Any installed mods before this update will not show up in the Mod Package Creator if you install this update on top of a previous Novetus version.
- Add the list.php and delist.php files to your master server if you would like to support future 1.3 versions.
- The query.php file is now deprecated, but it is still under the original GPL v3 license. Do NOT expect any updates for it.
Enhancements:
- Novetus will now switch to the Extended style by default under Wine due to the lack of proper WPF support.
- Logs are now stored in the "logs" directory.
- Removed the Novetus Asset Redirect due to the hosting provider taking it down.
- Removed the "Show Item Types" option from the Asset Fixer as it was deprecated by the Item SDK.
- Added better Asset Fixer error handling.
- The Asset Fixer will now show up as "ASSETFIX" in the logs if there is an error.
- Every client now has support for custom addon scripts!
- Addon scripts can extend Novetus functionality with the Novetus Scripting API, or just be basic scripts
- Add addon scripts to the addons folder. Add them to addons/core/AddonLoader.lua for your addons to load properly.
- Client side scripts are unsupported due to security issues. Scripts will only execute serverside, or in Play Solo and/or Studio modes.
- The old -script command line argument in NovetusCMD and the ClientScript variable %addonscriptpath% have both been removed to support this.
- Look in the addons/Addon_Template.lua file for more info on how to create your addon script!
- Addon Scripts that are pre-installed and loaded:
- This adds a new file list file that gets created upon initial launcher bootup. Use the -nofilelist command line option to disable the launcher's file list creation if Novetus takes a while to load initially (will make the Mod Package Creator basically unusable).
- The Master Server has been split into 2 files: list.php and delist.php
- Backwards compatibility has been added for master servers only using query.php. Master Server owners should still move to the new list/delist.php system for optimal security.
- Each server now has a randomly generated ID that is only visible to the server host (in the console) and the master server host (in serverlist.txt)
- IDs will become visible in the Console in some Novetus launcher styles and NovetusCMD.
Fixes:
- Made the initial Asset Fixer "Unable to fix the asset." error message more descriptive.

- Rise of the Killbots: Fixed bullets not disappearing after a specified amount of time, causing soem optimization issues (https://itch.io/t/2277693/issues-with-bullets-in-rise-of-killbots)
- The initial file list for the Mod Package Creator now checks if all lines are created on the file.
- The initial file list now generates when launching the SDK if one is not generated already.
- Added the -nofilelist command line option to disable the launcher's file list creation on slower computers (will make the Mod Package Creator basically unusable on first load)
- If you want to use the new Mod Package Creator for the first time, make sure to use a clean, unmodified Novetus install. Any installed mods before this update will not show up in the Mod Package Creator if you install this update on a previous Novetus version.
- Added more download error information to the Asset SDK to help fix potential errors in files.
- Added the ability to sign scripts.
- There are 2 ways to sign scripts, use the new ClientScript variables for generated join scripts, or use the File -> Sign Script Manually (For Modern Clients) option.
- The generated key files are stored in the same path as the script file, so using the same key is viable.
- New ClientScript variables:
- %signgeneratedjoinscript% - Signs the generated join script if "Generate scripts and fix map loading for 2007/2012+" is enabled.
- %usenewsignformat% - for %signgeneratedjoinscript%, uses the new client signature format found on newer clients.
- %useloadfile% - Uses the "loadfile" function instead of "dofile" for generated join scripts if "Generate scripts and fix map loading for 2007/2012+" is enabled.
- %userbxassetforgeneration% - When "Generate scripts and fix map loading for 2007/2012+" is enabled, use "rbxasset" as the main path we should get the file from.
- Server hosters and map authors may now insert a "DisableRespawns" object into Lighting that will disable player respawns. DisableRespawns may also be removed to re-enable respawning.
- There are 2 ways to sign scripts, use the new ClientScript variables for generated join scripts, or use the File -> Sign Script Manually (For Modern Clients) option.
- The generated key files are stored in the same path as the script file, so using the same key is viable.
- New ClientScript variables:
- %signgeneratedjoinscript% - Signs the generated join script if "Generate scripts and fix map loading for 2007/2012+" is enabled.
- %usenewsignformat% - for %signgeneratedjoinscript%, uses the new client signature format found on newer clients.
- %useloadfile% - Uses the "loadfile" function instead of "dofile" for generated join scripts if "Generate scripts and fix map loading for 2007/2012+" is enabled.
- %userbxassetforgeneration% - When "Generate scripts and fix map loading for 2007/2012+" is enabled, use "rbxasset" as the main path we should get the file from.
- Added better Bootstrapper error handling.
- Made config saving more reliable on initial startup.
- The "dlldelete" console command now toggles the setting instead of 2 seperate commands.

- You many now give downloaded RBXM/RBXL assets a name in the Asset SDK.
- T-Shirts with Roblox Asset URLs/Redirects are not supported due to 2 issues with 2007e: Roblox Asset URLs/Redirects do not work properly in 2007E if it's a texture and using anything to get the current texture value for a ShirtGraphic or Decal returns a "bad cast" error.
- As a result, T-Shirts with Roblox Asset URLs/Redirects will not load in 2007e.
- Added ClientScript Variables:
- %tshirttexid%, %shirttexid%, %pantstexid%, %facetexid% - Returns the texture URL for the respective online clothing type. Returns nothing if the URL is invalid, the item isn't using Online Clothing, or %localizeonlineclothing% is not defined in the script.
- %tshirttexidlocal%, %shirttexidlocal%, %pantstexidlocal%, %facetexlocal%" - Returns the texture rbxasset URL for the respective online clothing type. Returns nothing if the URL is invalid, the item isn't using Online Clothing, or %localizeonlineclothing% is not defined in the script. Only the client who downloads the clothing would be able to see it.
- %localizeonlineclothing% - Grabs texture IDS for the %texid% variables and localizes the texture for the %texidlocal% variables. This WILL increase load times of your client depending on how many items are being downloaded.
- Added the ability to assign a custom client EXE name in the Client SDK.
- Server hosters and map authors may now insert a "DisableCustomization" object into Lighting that will disable player customizations. DisableCustomization may also be removed to re-enable player customizations.

-serverbrowseraddress <master server address> - Changes the master server address.
- Novetus will now automatically generate a clientinfo.nov for clients that don't have one.
- Items and local places will be broken with this method. However, the client developer may edit the paths for each item loaded through the script by using Lua's string.gsub function and adding an extra "../" after rbxasset:// (string.gsub(itemURL, "rbxasset://", "rbxasset://../").
- Server hosters may now insert a "SkipSecurity" object into Lighting that will skip security checks. SkipSecurity may also be removed to re-enable security checks.
<validate> - Validates a file via MD5 in the following format: [FILE PATH IN CLIENT DIRECTORY]|[FILE MD5]. Only tag compatible with %args%.
- Added the following variables:
%validatedextrafiles% - Returns the total number of files that have been validated with <validate>.
%argstring% - Gets the default script arguments for a tag.
- ClientScript will no longer load %args% as a variable. If %args% is detected in any way, the client will NOT use any tag except for <validate>. Use %argstring% if you need %args% as a variable.
- The Client SDK now allows users to create <validate> tags for a directory relative to a client's directory.
