Hi everyone!

How long has it been since a Novetus update? 1.2 was in development for 4 long months. Remember 4 months ago when you were allowed to go outside without getting sick? I sure do, and it's depressing to think about. But this post is about Novetus, not about the worldwide pandemic.

Let's go over 5 of the main features coming in 1.2! More updates will be pushed out in the following days leading up to 1.2's release!

2006S IS BACK!

One of the biggest requests was to bring 2006S, the 2006 simulation client, back from the dead. This new version of 2006S is built out of the 2007M client. This makes it look and feel more accurate than the 2006S built from the 2008M client. There is also a 2006S-Shaders client available with bloom and DOF enabled if you have the hardware to mess with it.

ONLINE CLOTHING SUPPORT!

Another requested feature was to bring back Online Clothing back from the RBXLegacy days. This new, revamped version of the feature not only allows you to wear clothing from Roblox, but also from Finobe as well! This means you have more options to mix and match clothing in Novetus.

NEW INTERFACE!

One if the biggest changes you'll see is the new "Extended" user interface. This new interface was built for user friendliness and it gives more design space. If you don't like the revamped user interface, you can easily switch back to the old one by going to "Options" and changing the Launcher Style to "Compact".

MORE GRAPHICAL OPTIONS!

One change that applies to both launcher styles are the new graphical options. With this, you have more control over the graphical settings of each Roblox client. ReShade integration has also been added, however it is disabled by default. Some clients will apply the settings automatically, and others will require more fiddling around in Studio. 2009E for example will display black boxes in place of text from time to time. Here are some instructions from the "Known Issues and Solutions" section in the launcher credits:

GRAPHICS OPTIONS ARE NOT APPLYING/BLACK BOXES IN 2009E!
Open the studio of your client from the Novetus launcher, close out all errors, then go to Tools > Settings. 
Click OK on the message that pops up and then click Close on the second window. Close the second pop-up window that opens and restart the client.

WINDOWS XP SUPPORT!

Another requested feature was native Windows XP support! Early on in Novetus' development, Windows XP support was scrapped in favor of a better API. (.NET Framework 4.5) Despite being a niche feature, users are now able to run Novetus in a Windows XP VM or an actual physical computer. Just keep these in mind before installing: 

- If you have errors while using Novetus, install KB2468871 from the _redist directory or through the Dependency Installer.
- NOTE: ReShade will not function and will result in a "K32EnumProcessModules" error. Please disable it if it is enabled before launching a client.
- You will have to install .NET 2.0 SP2 for the ROBLOX Script Generator to function.

BONUS: MORE SDK TOOLS!

Lastly, 4 more SDK tools have been added:

- The ROBLOX Legacy Place Converter! (by BakonBot. https://github.com/BakonBot/legacy-place-converter)
- The Diogenes Editor! (credits to Carrot for the encryption/decryption code)
- An ancient ROBLOX Script Generator (version 1.4) from 2008. (created by S. Costeira)
- Added a ClientScript testing utility. (also in the VERSIONS menu of the launcher)

And that's about it! Stay tuned for more updates on 1.2! If you want to try out these new features, download the latest snapshot.
