Brick Hill Legacy is a mainline client originally released in October 2017 by brick-luke as a result of the whole codebase rewrite. Alongside with the client release, the mainline release also had its new Workshop (updates has ended in 2018) with the Host executables (was later replaced with Node Hill in 2020), all written in GameMaker 8.1 (late legacy clients were updated via GameMaker 8.2 Project¹⁾²⁾ ).

• Optimized Set loading (2021 (middle?) and later)
• Brick Physics (Late 2017 & 2021 and later)
• Health bar (2019 and later)
• Projectiles (2019? and later)

• (Late 2017, removed around 2018-2019)

Figures are simplified Roblox packages, originally meant to change your avatar fundamentally. The first and the last figure “Patient Zero” was released in the 2017 Brick Hill Halloween event. It is unknown about its implementation in the Brick Hill Legacy client.

• (GML³⁾ compatibility has been removed with the release of Node Hill)

Scripting as a feature became a part of Brick Hill ever since Role Block. Scripting support for GML has been abandoned (and got changed with JavaScript) due to technical difficulties supporting it on Node Hill.

• (?, found in Legacy Workshop source code in load_file script)

Like in Roblox, Brick Stickers⁴⁾ were supposed to work as Decals. Despite the obj_brick having such options with the possibility to assign the images via Brick Parameters the game's code will never get to draw the stickers, due to such code being cut off in draw_brick script of Legacy Workshop. Possibly removed due to technical difficulties.

Before this feature removal, you could be able to upload your set screenshot via Legacy Workshop through “publish” button. The image below shows how it worked (in a superficially way):

Fig. 3: How set image publishing worked

Before the October 2017 Release, Brick Hill has used the pre-legacy format of defining sets, for example:

[environment]
ambient=ffffff
baseplate=100
ground=19d900
[bricks]
" brick1=" 0 0 0 100 100 0 2392627 1 1
" brick2=" 6 -2 0 1 1 4 0 1 1
" brick3=" 1 -2 4 12 3 0 7757887 1 1

Explaining on the first brick, brick1:

“ brick1=” is the brick name, the equal symbol is necessary.
0 0 0 are for X,Y,Z position.
100 100 0 are for X,Y,Z scale.
2392627 is GameMaker raw color. If you would like to convert a custom color over it, use the GM Color Picker by Chris Anselmo.
1 1 (at the end) are for transparency and shape.

You may also add the Brick Model as an additional parameter which can be read by load_bricks script and can be even drawn in the pre-Legacy Workshop, though it requires URL patching because of Brick Hill Beta site (as of first11 ) API connection.

As it has been said earlier, clients, hosts and workshops (Legacy workshop still accepts the pre-legacy format in a form of convertation) made after October 2017 are accepting a new Set structure, for example (double slash comments must be removed):

B R I C K  W O R K S H O P  V0.2.0.0 // Workshop version

0 0 0 // Ambient color
0.14 0.51 0.20 1 // first three numbers are for Ground Color, the "1" at the end is for Ground transparency

	+SCRIPT 						if playerGetHealth(id) <= 0 {
