Nevermore Engine is a module-loader designed to simplify the loading of libraries and unify the networking of resources between the client and server. Nevermore comes equipped with a large codebase of useful libraries intended to streamline game development on Roblox.

• OOP - Many of Nevermore's libraries employ Object-Oriented Programming
• Lazy loading - Libraries won't load unless asked to (Consequently, Nevermore will not impact game performance)
• Many useful libraries - Nevermore's libraries handle logical issues to decrease the number of code-based errors that occur during game development
• Tested - Nevermore functions properly without testing
• Simple - Nevermore is designed with simplicity in mind:
  • The loader itself only includes 105 lines of code
  • Fast and easy install; just paste installer code into Command Bar
• Open source - Nevermore is open source. Includes modules contributed by experienced scripters!
• Built for Roblox - Made specifically for use on Roblox
• Works well with existing frameworks - Nevermore doesn't interfere with existing code

Here are a few of the features that Nevermore's libraries offer:

• 3D rendering
• Additive Camera effects
• Admin commands
• Bezier Curves
• Compass code
• Custom Signals
• GUI transparency and Color3 animation code
• HeldInputs
• Kinetic scrolling frame (mobile inertia scrollling)
• Material design UI code
  • Ripple
  • Snackbar
• Player manipulation utilities (check teammates et cetera)
• Projectile physics
• Promises
• Pseudo chat
• RemoteEvent and RemoteFunction manager
• Rotating text labels
• Screen cover effects
• Time formatting (os.date)
• TimeSync between server and client
• Title generation
• Type checkers
• Useful Data Structures
• Welding
• CFrame manipulation code
• Quaternion slerp

To Install Nevermore, paste the following code into your command bar.

local a=game:GetService("HttpService")local b=game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")local c=game:GetService("ServerScriptService")local d=a.HttpEnabled;a.HttpEnabled=true;local function e(f)f=f:gsub("\\","/"):gsub("^%s*(.-)%s*$","%1")return a:GetAsync("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Quenty/NevermoreEngine/master/"..f)end;local function g(h,f)local i=f:gmatch("(%w+)%.lua")()local j=h:FindFirstChild(i)or Instance.new("ModuleScript",h)j.Name=i;j.Source=e(f)or error("Unable to load script")return j end;local function k(h,f)local l=f:gmatch("%w+\\")()if l then l=l:sub(1,#l-1)local j=h:FindFirstChild(l)or Instance.new("Folder",h)j.Name=l;return k(j,f:sub(#l+2,#f))else return h end end;print("Loading Nevermore")g(b,"App/NevermoreEngine.lua")print("Loading sublibraries")local m=k(c,"Nevermore\\")local n={}for o in e("Modules/ModuleList.txt"):gmatch("[^\r\n]+")do n[#n+1]=o end;for p,o in pairs(n)do g(k(m,o),"Modules/"..o)print(p,"/",#n)end;a.HttpEnabled=d;print("Done loading")

• The main NevermoreModule in ReplicatedStorage
• All the modules in ServerScriptService

Please note that installing Nevermore will not change any behavior in your game. Nevermore does not affect preexisting code. If you want to see the power of Nevermore try using some Admin Commmands.

To update Nevermore, back up your place file and run the install code above. Existing code will be preserved, however, Nevermore's default libraries will be overridden.

To load Nevermore on your server and client, use the following header code:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local LoadCustomLibrary = require(ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("NevermoreEngine"))

With the above code, you can easily load a library and all dependencies

local qSystems = LoadCustomLibrary("qSystems")

Libraries have different functions with a variety of useful methods. For example, let's say we want to make a lava brick.

Vanilla RobloxLua code to turn all Parts into killing bricks:

local function HandleTouch(Part)
	-- Recursively find the humanoid
	local Humanoid = Part:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	if not Humanoid then
		if Part.Parent then
			return HandleTouch(Part.Parent)
		end
	elseif Humanoid:IsA("Humanoid") then
		Part.Humanoid:TakeDamage(100)
	end
end

local function RecurseApplyLava(Parent)
	for _, Item in pairs(Parent:GetChildren()) do
		if Item:IsA("BasePart") then
			Item.Touched:connect(HandleTouch)
		end

		RecurseApplyLava(Item)
	end
end

RecurseApplyLava(workspace)

Simpler code utilizing Nevermore's libraries:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local LoadCustomLibrary = require(ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("NevermoreEngine"))

local qSystems = LoadCustomLibrary("qSystems")

local function HandleTouch(Part)
	local Humanoid = qSystems.GetHumanoid(Part)
	if Humanoid then
		Humanoid:TakeDamage(100)
	end
end

qSystems.CallOnChildren(workspace, function(Item)
	if Item:IsA("BasePart") then
		Item.Touched:connect(HandleTouch)
	end
end)

Put NevermoreEngine.lua's content's in game.ReplicatedStorage in a ModuleScript name NevermoreEngine

Put all the modules in a folder in game.ServerScriptStorage and name them the names of their script, but without .lua

game
	ReplicatedStorage
		`ModuleScript` NevermoreEngine
	ServerScriptStorage
		`Folder` Nevermore
			`Folder` qSystems
				`ModuleScript` qSystems
				... more libraries
			... more folders and libraries

This change log is strictly for Nevermore's module and documentation only.

• Moved NevermoreEngine into a simplified module that had 3 API components, for loading Libraries, RemoteEvents, and RemoteFunctions

• Removed :Import() syntax
• Lots of bug fixes
• Redesign of class architecture should be coming soon
  • Specifically designed for testing
  • Existing implimentation has lots of errors
• Lots of bug fixes
• Was not updated to use ReplicatedFirst because of the way Roblox currently handles replicated first
  • Updates planned to make Nevermore more accessible
• Documentation added, more to come.

• Fixed RemoteEvent Firing in server
• Updated

• Pushed to github
• Fixed release notes for MD

• Made Parent argument in GetDataStreamObject optional. Defaults to bin.
• Made Parent argument in GetEventStreamObject optional. Defaults to bin.
• Added Workspace.FilteringEnabled as a property on Configuration

• Updated system to work with Workspace.FilteringEnabled.
• Updated so it does not warn when unregistered requests come through to prevent bug with output streams looping output from the server on error. (ehhhh, I'm not sure how I fix that.).
• Now clients wait for DataStreamObject's to replicate from the server, instead of creating them themselves, because they cannot create them themselves.

• Fixed character loading issue
• Moved events with character load
• Removed client loader dependency

• Added GetSplashEnabled function

• Fixed firing client bug

• Fixed serverside bug with event storage

• Added EventStream
• Added new setting "EventStreamName"
• Added new bin in the replicated bin thing for EventStreams
• Add GetDataStreamObject to public API
• Add GetEventStreamObject and make it public

• Added more documentation

• Updated networking against.
• Removed ypcall wrapping as ModuleScripts have been fixed.
• Fixed data replication package being cleared / nilled
• Debugged networking in server mode.

• Fixed problem with client / server networking

• Added SendSpawn property to DataStreams, as a networking option.
• Recursion added to modules, will now recurse through everything not a script, local script, or module script in search of resources.
• ypcall wrapped Nevermore for debugging, until modulescripts are fixed.

• Nevermore works as expected in solo mode and solotest mode
