Engine

• Updated Panda3D engine - this implements approximately 2 and a half years (a little over 1000 commits) of improvements and fixes (along with our own as shown in the fixes section) to the engine

Resource Packs

• Music files can now have custom loop start points specified
  • When a custom loop point is specified, the song will play in its entirety the first time, but when it loops it will start from the custom loop start point instead of from the beginning of the song
  • This can be used to make seamless loops
• This can be done by creating a file next to the OGG file with the same name as the music file, except a json file instead of an ogg, and specifying a loop_start key value
  • e.g. making the Toontown Central theme's loop start 10.24 seconds into the song
    • Create a json file in your resource pack at phase_4/audio/TC_nbrhood.json
    • Inside it, put:

        {
          'loop_start': 10.24
        }
      

Prop Generator

• Revamped the prop generator spawn interface
  • The Prop List is now merged with the rest of the Prop Generator interface, which has been completely remade from the ground up
  • You can change the size of the UI using the new Prop Spawner UI Scale option in the video settings menu
  • The snap settings have been expanded:
    • You can now change the snap sizes of Horizontal positioning, Vertical positioning, and rotation separately.
  • You can now place props using the mouse directly
  • You can rotate props before placing them by holding the 'Z' key
  • Added Default Street, Sidewalk, and Curb texture options to the Prop Generator settings menu
    • This will determine what each new street piece spawns with by default instead of always spawning as Toontown Central
  • Revamped Duplicating Props
    • Pressing the Duplicate button will now open up the spawn menu and allow you to place the duplicated prop directly
  • Added a new Move button to props
    • This will let you grab the current prop and move it the same way you would place a new prop
  • Removed the Hotbar feature as it is now unnecessary since the menu is always visible
    • Instead you should use the Favorites feature
      • Right click a prop in the prop list to add or remove it from your favorites
• Added a new feature to the prop generator: Snap Points
  • Certain props will now automatically snap props you are about to place into these snap points to assist you in building
  • All of the Flat Wall and Toon Building props have snap points to attach
  • You can override this by holding the Alt key
• The Prop Generator can now be used in your estate
• All* props will now have collisions in Build Lots and Estates
  • *Many prop models do not actually have their own collisions, so you will still need to place your own in many spots
  • Like before, you can completely disable prop collision in the game settings
• The Prop Generator can now be used in the Boss Lobby areas and DA Office Lobby

Improvements

• Added the sound effect from the Audit attack to the Calculate and Tabulate attacks
• Reverted Bossbot HQ to the original design from Toontown Online
• Implemented a new server option: Experimental Features (experimental-features) - this will enable certain experimental features on your Realm
  • This option allows you to test incomplete features or concepts with the intent of gathering feedback. Use this option with care, we will not provide support if any files (such as the Toon database) are damaged. Please back up your saves.
• Increased the fishing timeout from 45 seconds to 90 seconds
• Added snow and wind to The Brrrgh streets
• Improve camera transition when boarding an elevator

• Added an animation to Trolley and Elevator countdowns
• Sellbot Field Offices once again reward SOS cards
• In the Sellbot VP battle, you can now hear the VP jump sound effect no matter where you are

• Overhauled the Cog panel in battles
  • Hovering over these new panels will show their current health
• Added some help bubbles to a couple of server options

Optimizations

• A ton of various optimizations have been made, especially to loading
  • This will be most noticable when loading into the game from the Pick-A-Toon screen
    • In testing, we've noticed the time it takes to load from Pick-A-Toon into a playground has decreased from around 10-11 seconds to around 2 seconds

Experimental Features

Anything locked behind the Experimental Features toggle is considered incomplete and subject to change or removal at any point. Use this option with care, we will not provide support if any files (such as the Toon database) are damaged. Please back up your saves.

• Implemented some experimental changes to the CEO Seltzer tables
  • These are experimental in order to gather feedback and further improve the experience prior to making it the default
• When Experimental Features are enabled, The Brrrgh's snow and fog effects have been updated
• Added a second edit page to the Texture Plane props that will allow you to edit the UV offset and scaling
  • This feature is fully reliable, it is here because the interface is not yet ready; you will fully be able to load prop saves made with this option enabled even if you disable it

Magic Words

• Removed the Trolley Magic Word - This has been replaced by the Drop command explained below
• The Snap Magic Word now targets yourself and is no longer locked behind moderator access
