VetraBLOX 0.3.144 (preview)

Classic 2008 and 2009 ROBLOX, ready to play with your friends.

GETTING STARTED
1. Unzip this whole folder somewhere, for example your Desktop. Don't run it from inside the zip.
2. Open VetraBLOX.exe.
3. Visit https://r3blox.net, sign in, choose a game and click Play.
   The launcher opens the matching client and joins the site's game server.
4. Use Character on the website to change the outfit you wear in website games.
   The launcher's Customize Character is also available for local play.

PLAYING WITH FRIENDS
- Send your friends the game's page on https://r3blox.net and click Play together.
- Public games run on the VetraBLOX server. You do not need to host them yourself.
- If the direct game connection is unavailable, the launcher can use the website connection.

PRIVATE LAN GAMES
- For a private game, the host clicks HOST. Friends enter the host's address and click JOIN.
- On the same Wi-Fi/LAN: use the host's local address (like 192.168.1.20).
- Over the internet: the host needs to forward port 53640 (UDP) on their router,
  or everyone joins the same virtual LAN (Radmin VPN, ZeroTier, Hamachi...).
- Use private hosting with friends you trust; local player IDs are chosen in the launcher.

WHAT'S IN THIS FOLDER
  VetraBLOX.exe    the launcher (Windows XP SP3 up to Windows 11, 32-bit and 64-bit)
  LegacyBLOX.exe   opens VetraBLOX.exe (for shortcuts from before VetraBLOX was called that)
  VetraBLOX Updater.exe   installs VetraBLOX updates (VetraBLOX starts it when there is one)
  Uninstall VetraBLOX.exe removes VetraBLOX (Windows' installed apps runs it too)

THE GAMES
The games aren't in this download. The first time you play a year (2008, 2009...), VetraBLOX
downloads the original game files from where they were first published, checks every file, sets the game up on
your PC and puts it in clients\. Updates later only download what changed. Maps go in maps\.






PERFORMANCE OPTIONS
In the launcher's OPTIONS page, Low latency timing can make game waits more precise while
the game window is active, but uses more power. Modern memory mode is optional on 64-bit
Windows and may help with very large places; turn it off if that client acts strangely.
The game also lets the mouse leave its window by default. You can change this in OPTIONS.

WINDOWS XP AND VISTA
VetraBLOX.exe works on Windows XP (Service Pack 3) and Vista too. It needs the free
Microsoft .NET Framework 4 (or newer). Windows 8, 10 and 11 already have it; on XP, Vista
and 7, install it from Microsoft if VetraBLOX doesn't open. On XP, use a web
browser that still gets updates there (for example Supermium) to visit the website;
Internet Explorer can't open it anymore. Playing in the browser needs Windows 10 or 11.


THIS IS A PREVIEW
Things may break. If something goes wrong, tell whoever sent you this and say what you were doing.
