Scuba Symphonies

Posted by Sir Max on September 1, 2018 at 11:30 AM

Glub glub glub? No, that's not it. Swish swash? That's not right either. Bubble bubble toil and trouble? Eh, that's close enough! Sir Max here, reporting that fish noises are hard to sound out. You may be wondering why I'm trying to sound out fish noises, or better yet, why I'm writing this underwater. Keep reading, friends, because we have a new update to discuss!

Sir Max scuba diving in Donald's Dock

First off, let's talk about the whale in the water: What I'm doing writing a blog post from underwater. Nay, it's not to spot any seahorses or search for the shoe I lost. (If you find a missing shoe in Donald's Dock, please contact me.) Instead, it's to listen to the new works of the Toontown Symphony Orchestra!

As many of you know, Toontown is filled with all sorts of music. But where does it come from? Who composes it? Is the album available on iToons? It's best not to think about those things and just enjoy it, which is exactly what I'm doing with this new underwater music!

Hold your breath for just a little while longer, because that isn't the only tweak coming to Toontown! Most of the Toon Troopers are busy working on prepping for the big celebration opening later this month, but I've been working the new Troops to the brim to crank out some widely requested features and fixes. I'd read them all to you now, but it turns out paper and water are not good friends.

Instead, you'll have to settle for this list of changes below that are coming TODAY to Toontown. We hope that you enjoy this little update, and-- GAH! Running out of oxygen! TOODLES!


September 1, 2018 [ttr-live-v2.2.1]

General
• Fixed a bug allowing Toons to press the button to teleport to a District that they're already in.
• Fixed a typo in Loony Louis’s ToonTask dialogue. Let us know if you see any other typos in task messages!
• Fixed one of the most commonly reported crashes, which occurred when entering a new area.
• You can now adjust the level of detail (LOD) by adding "lod-distance" in your settings.json file. Setting this to higher values will make Toons higher quality from a distance! 0 is the current default, and you can try 1 or 2 for longer distances.

Toons
• Improved various Toon animation based on community feedback. Thanks for the bug reports!
• Toon heads will now smoothly transition forward when falling asleep.
• Shadows will now squash and stretch with certain Toon animation, just like they used to in the earlier days of Toontown Online!
• Fixed a bug from our Rerigged project that caused Toon pupils to appear pixelated.
• Converted all Toon species heads to our internal Rerigged pipeline with miscellaneous fixes and enhancements.

Cogs
• Just as we did last month for Toons, we have moved the Cogs over to our brand new rigging system. This allows for us to create new Cog animation in the future.
• Made various fixes and enhancements to Cog and Skelecog appearances.
• Updated the Mover and Shakers’ attacks with a better shaking effect during battle.

Doodles
• We've heard your feedback and reversed the anti-macro changes made to Doodle training that were unintentionally bothering fair players. Please be aware though, that using bots or macros to play the game for you is still not allowed by our Terms of Service!

Playgrounds
• Adjusted the size of the Polar Place sign on the tunnel in The Brrrgh.
• Add new underwater music for Donald's Dock and Acorn Acres. Let us know what other areas of the game you'd like to see new music!

Cog HQ
• Helped prevent accidental teleporting with a new prompt that appears when teleporting out of Cog Facilities.
• Adjusted Sellbot HQ spawn locations to fix issues with appearing in the ground.
• Fixed a visual bug when unlocking Sellbot Factory doors.
• Fixed an issue causing the barrel collect sound to play repeatedly when re-entering a room.
• When grabbing a jellybean barrel in a Cog Facility, you’ll now be shown how many beans you collected.
• Grabbing a gag barrel will play a unique sound depending on the type of gag being received.

ToonFest
• Added various preparations for the upcoming ToonFest event on September 19. Stay TOONed!
• Added new SpeedChat phrases that will be active during the event.
• Decreased the volume of the "Hype Train" interactive furniture prize.

Princess Rainbow Glittersparkles said on September 1, 2018 at 11:36 AM
Hmm. How interesting. I'm quite excited, but don't be surprised if my dear subjects lack enthusiasm.

I LOVE these new changes! cant wait to see them in person! Have a toontastic day guys!

Cheesecake said on September 1, 2018 at 12:05 PM
Sweet!

Finn said on September 1, 2018 at 12:12 PM
sounds good! i was a bit salty about the game going down since i was gonna max sellbot today, but im glad this update will bring some fun new features instead of just bug fixes. :)

Vanilla said on September 1, 2018 at 12:26 PM
Underwater Music? Only one thing comes to mind... ?Under the sea! Under the sea!~?

Little Spike said on September 1, 2018 at 12:35 PM
I'm logging in to hear the new tunes! Toontastic!

Riley said on September 1, 2018 at 12:52 PM
What a toontastic update!

Rainbow said on September 1, 2018 at 12:57 PM
THANK YOU TTR!!!! I also have a list of bugs I found. The rig glitches out when you interact with the jellybean bank, and my friends keep crashing when they teleport to me when I'm using the Doodle Trick commands!! The doodle Phrase: "Please don't bother me." doesn't work, and neither does the "Stay." command. I am so excited for future updates to toontown! I expect doodles to be even better! <3 Keep up the awesome work, TTR!

Granny Honeymuffin said on September 1, 2018 at 1:06 PM
Updates look great! Thank you for your dedication and hard work!

Jackson said on September 1, 2018 at 1:27 PM
Is the game a bit smoother?

Madame Megamouth said on September 1, 2018 at 1:50 PM
I'm so excited for Toonfest! For 2 reasons! Mainly first Toonfest on rewritten and it's on my birthday! Double the amazing Ness!

Kippy B said on September 1, 2018 at 2:00 PM
Thank you!

doe nut said on September 1, 2018 at 2:04 PM
Oh joy! I thought I missed it! Thanks for all the toonyness!

Rainbow said on September 1, 2018 at 2:14 PM
Thank you so much, TTR! I'm glad you saw my list of bugs in my other comment! I hope you can make Toontown 10x more awesome in the future! Corporate Clash can't compare to TTR! (I really love the staff members! They are so toony and really amazing and kind people!)

Alyssa Lemonstripe said on September 1, 2018 at 2:23 PM
The new music is so nice! I usually keep the music in TTR off because it's a bit too loud for me and there's no volume slider for the music alone, but the underwater themes are both really relaxing and they really fit seamlessly. It'd be cool to see a wider variety of music just in general - though if it's ever possible, a jukebox-style feature so we can listen to whichever Toontown track we want wherever we are in game would be really nice. Thanks for the update!

Goopy Rhinobouncer said on September 1, 2018 at 3:00 PM
I'd like to see, or rather hear, some music in the estates.

Rosie said on September 1, 2018 at 3:06 PM
Ooo lots of new stuff. Keep up the good work Ttr!

Anne said on September 1, 2018 at 3:35 PM
TOONFEST 2018 HYPE!!!

May said on September 1, 2018 at 4:06 PM
Super spiffy! I love these little quality of life features! I never liked the weird white noise when you went underwater, so I hope you add them to other areas, too!

Little cuddles lemonmuffin said on September 1, 2018 at 4:56 PM
Nice. Music is fun I guess

Princess said on September 1, 2018 at 5:21 PM
Seriously cannot wait for Toonfest this year!!

Octavia said on September 1, 2018 at 5:37 PM
aHH so excited to hear the new music!! TTR music is always so uplifting for me. Just hearing the Brrrgh street music hypes me up. :)

Bologna said on September 1, 2018 at 5:47 PM

Rockenjinks YT said on September 3, 2018 at 1:40 PM

Split and Splat said on September 3, 2018 at 1:49 PM
Great!

Master Max said on September 3, 2018 at 2:16 PM
Thanks for keeping the ToonTown community alive! I know you guys work very hard to keep TTR alive. <3

Dandypow said on September 3, 2018 at 2:43 PM
I know this may sound late, but can i say my recommendation? It says that to let you know where to add new music, that's great, so here i wanna say what i can say. Maybe put music in the mints? i know there is music already, but if you listen to it really carefully, you can hear its the sellbot factories music. Maybe just maybe make it sound different? its ok if no. Love you TTR

Lucky Biscuit said on September 3, 2018 at 3:17 PM
This is definitely interesting!! Thanks so much for fixing these bugs and adding new music. Keep up the good work! :)

Flynn said on September 3, 2018 at 4:02 PM
finally I cant glitch through the sellbot factory door

Master Alvin said on September 3, 2018 at 4:12 PM
Looks good.

Zel said on September 3, 2018 at 4:16 PM
Yay! The barrel sound and the changing location on speedchat for tricks was so annoying!

French House said on September 3, 2018 at 6:41 PM
I love the updates! Toons of the world unite!

Andrea said on September 3, 2018 at 7:33 PM
It sounds so neat!!

J.C. said on September 3, 2018 at 8:19 PM
What if each Cog HQ had its unique type of music? That would be interesting :)

Little Jiggleroni said on September 4, 2018 at 3:58 AM
I actually love that you changed the animations of the Mover and Shaker's attacks because the old ones hurt my eyes

Chief Harry Megasnoop said on September 4, 2018 at 5:57 AM
looks great !

Fireball said on September 4, 2018 at 6:43 AM
I like the new underwater music, especially Donald's Dock. Chip and Dale's pond music is awesome, too, it sounds like there is the duh, duh, duh, from Bossbot HQ. I think you should at underwater music for the estates, team!

Demeter Evergreen said on September 4, 2018 at 10:30 AM
Toontastic! I'm so excited for toonfest!

Ned said on September 4, 2018 at 10:39 AM
Thanks for the new music. Its awesome. Just one "but". Can you maybe try adding a .5 sec fade in for the music change. As it is it really slams the ears.

Bearverly said on September 4, 2018 at 11:49 AM
The new music is toony :D

Garrett said on September 4, 2018 at 2:54 PM
Oh boy cant wait for toonfest 2018 in TTR!

Dr Domino said on September 4, 2018 at 4:18 PM
Glub glub glub (nice)

said on September 4, 2018 at 6:15 PM
Grabbing a gag barrel will play a unique sound depending on the type of gag being received. Best TTR Update because of that. Who is the genius who thought of that!!!!!

Dianna said on September 5, 2018 at 2:13 PM
I found your shoe in Donald's Dock while fishing.

Mister J.C. (Laff 119) & Miss Whicker (Laff 101) said on September 5, 2018 at 2:59 PM
To Be Honest I'd LOVE to see new/custom music for boss battle such as the CFO, CJ, and CEO. I think that the VP should be left alone so that we can still hear the original music. <3

Little Parakeet (Duck disguised as a Parakeet) said on September 5, 2018 at 3:07 PM
I have a pet parakeet and he seriously loves dancing to the TTR music, LOL! That's why I made this very name for my toon. And this update will make him dance crazy cuter, because of the AMAZING new music of the underwater, and me and my lil' guy say a GIAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNT thanks for the bug fixes and new music! We'll go ahead and give a thanks to Sir Max... for writing this and doing it underwater for us. Though I'm not sure that was the smartest thing to do because he's right-- paper and water ARE not good friends.

Awesome Rockstar said on September 5, 2018 at 3:56 PM
Maybe could you expand the lake? Just a thought, idk, just having something added to it, makes me fell like it could have a bit more to it?

Barney Wondersnout said on September 5, 2018 at 4:18 PM
Cool, nice updates! Also could that be a white duck near the bottom right? I think Donald Duck is messing with us...

Barney Wondersnout said on September 5, 2018 at 4:28 PM
Hyped for Toonfest, Crash Cashbot, Field Offices,

Lady Cookie Cheezybubble said on September 5, 2018 at 4:51 PM
Awesome! I'm so hyped! ?

Little Foot said on September 6, 2018 at 12:55 AM
I had a few toons come up to me asking what the new update was. I either replied "Read the newest blog on the website" or summed it up the best I could. BY THE WAY, THE NEW MUSIC IS A HIT. MY FRIENDS AND I LOVE IT AND WE DON'T TURN OUR MUSIC OFF BECAUSE OF IT. Nice work composing!

Lucky Billy said on September 6, 2018 at 2:57 AM
wow

Violet Glitternerd said on September 6, 2018 at 11:52 AM
Yippee! New music! I sure hope there's Estate music soon, as well!

Z.Z. Supertwist said on September 6, 2018 at 12:51 PM
Nice.

skinny romeo googleton said on September 6, 2018 at 4:08 PM
i know that acorn acres and donalds dock are the only two playgrounds that can go underwater but i want to hear these variations for all the playground tracks, and maybe the cog hq ones too, even if they arent in the game

Dippy Pancake Twinklebounce said on September 7, 2018 at 5:26 PM
Fun! I love the new underwater music. I also CANNOT wait for my first attendance to ToonFest.

Blurise said on September 8, 2018 at 9:24 AM
