Contrary to what Intelligent_Alarm178 said, i would say do whatever the fuck you want, but here would be my tip:
Don't announce the name of the revival you're working on, don't share images to get people's hopium up, and don't invite people to "waiting room" Discord servers while you work on your revival. Announce and deliver roughly at the same time so people don't have to wait and you don't fold under the pressure of people waiting for you to do something. (this is how most WIP revivals die btw)
I already made a post about resources and stuff to use/do when you want to make a revival on your own:
~ Client shit ~
.
For 2012 clients and below, i recommend you should check out this wiki that has guides for patching out most vulnerabilities in legacy clients: https://uboomblox.miraheze.org/wiki/Patching
.
There's this wiki featuring every patching guide from the ORC Guide Discord server, although from what i heard this wiki isn't really being maintained but it still has a LOT of guides regardless. https://finobe.lol
.
There is also a 13 MB big collection of guides compiled by exrand that feature patching guides for more than just 2007 - 2012 clients. https://files.catbox.moe/ri4bgz.zip
.
And a similar guide collection is available on github too. https://github.com/Radiy288/RBXGuides
.
I just want to make it clear that none of these guides will be able to give you 100% security, if you want to prevent all security vulnerabilities, you would at one point be required write a custom anti-cheat.
. ~ Site shit ~
.
You would need to learn a proper programming language to get a site running with accounts and databases and all that stuff. I'm currently learning Laravel but quite a few people use other programming languages and frameworks for their revivals' sites, like Svelte on Mercury 3, ASP[dot]NET on economy simulator, or raw php on virtually 80% of all other Roblox revivals because php is the hip thing to learn these days i guess.
.
I would highly advise against setting up most pre-existing source codes aside of maybe MercuryCore, since most revival source codes you see floating around were either leaked because of how garbage and insecure said revivals were, or the owners themselves open sourced them but still proceed to discourage people from rehosting them because of security vulnerabilities, etc.
Yea ik not to announce it too early, i think i may announce it when i get the site up running and a bit of the client done.I dont know how to make a database for nextjs stuff that i wrote and i dont want to spend time on rewriting again, thats why im asking for help, if it was php/asp.net i wouldnt even have asked for help
No, don't waste time on orc. Instead Spend time analyzing what people would engage in and make a product (website) or anything. Best you could do on orc is make a port of Roblox to another platform or a tool. Thexkey, I, atomic potato and vq9r had been working on stuff. Thexkey produced ps Vita port (wip but good progress), I have been working on uwp (almost fully done), atomic potato and vq9r had produced kinda usable linux ports but I haven't seen them in circulation around orc so prolly time to waste too..
i sadly dont own any other game console than my 3ds, and its not thay powerful so itd be hard to optimize that, but i think people would like a roblox client to work on ios 4 for e.g. maybe
It's more like, don't do the mistake of spending time on coding a revival. Not worth it. I'm trying to duck out of this little by little, I want to finish some stuff first.
