Hi, I noticed that multiple people have attempted to post leaks to Kanvas. I normally don’t mind it when people post whatever, but as I stated earlier, the launcher is in a private alpha state and shouldn’t be leaked. From now on, IF YOU POST A KANVAS LEAK, YOU WILL BE INSTANTLY BANNED FROM THIS FORUM. If you have downloaded the leaks from here, it will not represent the publicly released product, and they may be modified from the original source and may include malicious code and/or altered assets. Use the leaks at your own risk.

I advise everyone here to respect the developers here. They plan to release the first public beta release within the first quarter of this year. Patience is a virtue.

false, you have to resave the clientinfo.nov in the client sdk

I’ve been working on a new update for 2-3 years, development is alive and well

2013 or 2014 is planned for a future version of Novetus, but not the next update currently in development

The next update will have 2012M

let me give you the benefit of the doubt here

if i did make an anti cheat it wouldn’t rely on discord because that’s outside the scope of novetus being an app that shouldn’t rely on any service to function. i have experimented with adding in an anti cheat with the launcher itself, but early experiments haven’t gone well and i’m looking at alternative ways to add it without using dll hooks (as i’m quite unfamiliar with them. i’m a game developer and not someone who’s into reverse engineering). you’re correct in saying that it probably wouldn’t have worked without the launcher, as it’s why i’m considering other options. i have only stated that i’m considering on adding one, which isn’t a threat.

also, i haven’t engaged with the wider mlp community in literal years because in my honest opinion i do not like the wider mlp community. i’m no longer interested in mlp anyways even though i have released things in the past related to it.

i also wouldn’t mind you posting links to kanvas if that community didn’t ask me to delete the links to it. i’m usually very chill when it comes to discussion about other revivals/launchers here, but since kanvas is still a private revival, i’m forced to not allow links to it here.

Hi, I have been told that I cannot allow this post in here.

Please do not distribute leaked builds of Kanvas in the Novetus forums.

it is a false positive 99.9% of the time

it is a false positive 99.9% of the time

you need to edit the client with the novetus client sdk, found within the novetus SDK launcher found here

unfortunately, all included novetus clients have locked clientinfo.nov files for security reasons, however here’s the settings in the client SDK used for 2006S. UI may be slightly different because i use the snapshot. If you’re using an older novetus version, leave it as %args% in the client command arguments field

description:

2006 Simulation

A ROBLOX client from early 2007 modified to look like 2006. Has no animations and the old font. Character customization is limited to body colors only.

If your keyboard has N-Key rollover:
CTRL + SHIFT + D to enable DOF
CTRL + SHIFT + B to enable Bloom

Note that shaders may not work on modern AMD/ATI cards due to shader compilation issues.

warning:

WARNING: This client is known to contain massive security vulnerabilities. If you are planning on playing this client online, use a sandboxing tool like Sandboxie. You don't need to do this when playing solo. This client has been patched to fix these security issues, but more may come up during gameplay. Only play on servers you trust. This is a simulation client. Due to this, the client may be inaccurate in some places.

this is false. most detections from antiviruses falsely detect novetus because it creates configuration files and launches clients. I’m working on solutions to fix the false positive detection.

the project is also open source if you want to look at the code https://github.com/Bitl/Novetus_src

no.

This is a known issue and has been fixed in the recent snapshot

The detection has been ruled out as a false positive, especially since it comes from a relatively unknown antivirus

the others are other antiviruses, which includes a lot of common ones, and the majority of those didn’t find anything wrong with it.

if you don’t see any detections from common antiviruses (norton, trend micro, etc) and the detection count is below 3, there’s nothing to worry about here. a detection count of 1-2 is a sign of a false positive in most cases.

extract Novetus before starting it

This is indeed an asset delivery issue. See: https://itch.io/t/4731830/im-trying-to-use-custom-clothing-but-nothing-is-working?before=5#post-12560700

They haven’t shut down the API. The API now requires a Roblox account to use and since I don’t intend on adding Roblox logins it possibly won’t be fixed in its entirety.

1.4 however will still have 2 options for online clothing:

  • Roblox (Local), which will use the web proxy for currently saved local assets. All players in the server may need the assets for the clothes and web proxy on for things to work properly.

  • Imgur in both http and https. For this you need the image file name.

I plan on hopefully adding more content providers if there’s any more that support direct links.

This isn't a bug at all. Novetus Snapshot starts a Client and Server for solo as it was the original way Roblox did it (Roblox would start a server in the backend for one player, and then it opens a client to join it). This makes testing places and features for multiplayer much easier, as places in solo would function differently to how they'd work online. This means chat, leaderboards, and everything would work the same as it would on a normal Novetus/Roblox server.

The decision was also made by another mod, not myself, but the evidence adds up. they're also banned from the novetus comment section for also posting slurs there as well.

To yessirrissy: if you continue to violate the rules here I will ban you from these forums as well. Do not make me do that.

The snapshot will have a 2012 client and there are plans (not developing them currently , don't get your hopes up) of 2013 and 2014 clients. There are no plans for anything above 2014 as I consider those clients too modern.

NOTE: for people coming in from the IsThereAnyDeal page for another game named MAYHEM, read this blog post before purchasing: https://bitl.itch.io/mayhem/devlog/727802/mayhem-is-now-bitl-development-studios...

If you post your tag, i'll unban you from it

As of the latest snapshot (in the blog post below), there are no longer any pop-ups and I'll work on implementing these features in a better way. Uninstall all previous versions of the snapshots and install the latest version.

turn off the proxy using the console

> If you wish to turn it off, open up Novetus with the console and use the "proxy disable" command. Novetus will not re-prompt you to activate it upon re-opening.

there's one in development but it'll take a while, please be patient

The web proxy directs to the asset delivery api, not austiverse. i don't use any 3rd party services other than roblox or imgur

Newer versions of Novetus have an optional web proxy that enables badges, asset redirection and other features. Users get an initial prompt upon launch asking if they want to activate the web proxy and what will happen once they do so.

If you wish to turn it off, open up Novetus with the console and use the "proxy disable" command. Novetus will not re-prompt you to activate it upon re-opening.

Implemented the change internally. The guns were based on the Paintball Gun, so bullets mainly act like the Paintball Gun's projectiles. BrickCleanup was meant for the bullet debris and NOT the bullet itself, which is why it was set to 15 seconds. However, I felt like this change would be good for game optimization.

Will implement this in the next Novetus version.

2010+ does this from time to time and there's no way to fix this without the source code iirc

Please post your discord tag so I can unban you on the server

this, it's not currently possible to have chat in play solo

I am not sure why this is happening then. There should be a 5 second delay between spawns. I'll look into it

yes

this has nothing to do with the play and play solo buttons

minor correction as well: 1.3 was officially finished and released in November of last year. the previous releases of 1.3 were pre releases and snapshots.

in layman's terms, no, it is not a virus. people who bundle viruses and trojans with revivals are assholes, and i'm not one of those people who implements that shit into my programs.

The issue occurs on large maps mainly if i recall. the delay could also be caused by performance issues. mess around with the graphics settings in the Novetus launcher
