  For example, merits recovered on the third floor of a building will be multiplied by a factor of two. The result is that in most cases the number of merits gained after the bug fix is comparable to before the fix. Item recovery rates have not been adjusted.

Cashbot HQ preview!

Here's a preview of what every Cog bustin' Toon has been waiting for.

• You can reach Cashbot HQ via the entrance at the end of Pajama Place.
• Currently you can play in the Train Yard and the Mint.
• At this busy freight yard, you should only be able to cross the tracks via the red pedestrian bridges. If hit by a train you will be damaged and flattened temporarily (a la the stompers). Watch out for roaming Cogs while on your way to the elevators.
• The three elevators take you to various floors in a Mint. Each floor consists of a "random" combination of rooms. Some may be puzzle rooms with stompers, conveyors, and crates (like the factory), others may have barrels of gags, and some will have cog battles in them.
• There are three mints (coin/dollar/bullion) and each one has 20 floors, for a total of 60 mint floors. When you go into a mint elevator, you attempt to conquer a single floor.

  Each mint floor is made up of a sequence of rooms, and the rooms are pulled from a shared pool of 25 total unique rooms. That means that a particular room (i.e. the room with a big gear on the floor.) will show up on multiple floors, but you will never see the same room more than once on a single floor.

• There are a few rooms in some Mint floors that are rather empty at the moment. They will have more features added at a later date.
• Please be sure to note the Mint Floor number when you report a bug associated with the Mint. Taking a screenshot will automatically show the floor number and roomID so that would be the best way to report any bugs.

• Fixed arrow indicators which were pointing at nearby buildings and Toons in the wrong directions.

• Fixed bug with "Belly Flop" and "Cringe" emotes, the first one would show upas "Cringe" when whispered, and the other showed up as "Surprised".
• Fixed a crash that would occur when one checked the parent password for Limited SecretFriends chat options.

As of 10:30AM PT, all accounts have been switched to "Restricted Secret Friends" access. Please change your settings in the Friends Panel in the game or in the Member Services area of the web site and report any problems you find.

We have added a setting to make the Secret Friends feature more customizable. A new "Restricted Secret Friends" setting will require the parent password each time a secret is generated or entered. During testing, settings may change from they were last set.

Some things you should know about this update:

• Everyone who had Secret Friends enabled will automatically be switched to "Restricted Secret Friends" access.
• Everyone will keep their existing Secret Friends UNLESS they change their access to "No Secret Friends."

Attention all Toons! Pet Shops and Doodles are finally here!

Each Playground has its own Pet Shop, which is in the likeness of a fire hydrant.

In the Pet Shop you can adopt or return a Doodle, as well as sell fish. There are boy and girl Doodles in a variety of shapes and colors to choose from.

Each Doodle has a unique personality, and their moods are influenced by your interaction with them. Once adopted, you can pick a name for your Doodle from a list of thousands, and they will appear at your estate ready for play!

You can feed your Doodles, pet them, and teach them to perform tricks. They'll even understand your calls and SpeedChat phrases! Be sure to look for new tricks to purchase from the Cattlelog so you can have more fun with your Doodle.

If you want a happy Doodle, be sure to give it lots of attention!

Some details about adopting Doodles

• Doodles with more desirable traits and "looks" will be available in Pet Shops in different Playgrounds. The more desirable the Doodle, the higher the adoption price.

December 1, 2003 [sv1.0.9.2.test]

Welcome!

Welcome to the initial prototype testing of Cog Headquarters (Cog HQ). The first Cog HQ released will be the Sellbot HQ, attached to Daisy Gardens. We are excited to be in the final development stages of this new area of Toontown -- but we have a long way to go, and we are ready for your help! Cog HQ introduces new physics, environments, enemies, story elements, and game play and thus needs great deal of testing. We feel it is close enough to start letting people in to this rough version.

A few things to keep in mind, especially for those new to the test server:

• Nothing of what you will see should be considered final.
• Balancing will change. Every system may get easier, or harder, and may change several times.
• Story elements may be tweaked and rearranged for clarity.
• Very little is polished - The interface, sounds, physics, and dialog will all get better over time before final release.
• Temporary sound effects - We will integrate final background music and sound effects soon.
• Lots of cracks or holes in world - Take screenshots and report. We are still updating all the 3D models to the new physics system.
• No CogHQ ToonTasks yet - These will be added over time as we finalize the overall difficulty.
• Textures, models, and code are not optimized - Your graphics rendering (frame rate) may be choppier than in other areas of Toontown. The game will be smooth at times and completely unplayable at other times. Please bear with us.
• We may not directly respond to each individual bug report, especially if we get numerous copies of the same issue. But rest assured, each and every report is read by developers.

A Brief CogHQ Overview

Toons have been taken hostage by the Cogs! They are being held on the top floor of CogHQ. It is your mission to gang up and rescue them. Getting into CogHQ will not be easy though; their tight security will detect and reject any Toons that enter. You must build a Cog disguise first by recovering Cog parts from their factory. The factory is a 4-player environment with many new game-play elements. You can keep track of your Cog disguise progress with a new page in your Shticker Book.

Once you have your entire Cog disguise built you can enter the Cog HQ lobby dressed as a Cog. The Sellbot Boss is a very busy Cog, so the guard will not allow you to see the Boss unless you have important Cog business, like needing a promotion. You must earn your promotion by fighting Sellbots to collect "merits" around Toontown. Merits are given out after every battle just like Gag experience and are recorded in your Shticker Book as well. The elevator to the top of Cog HQ holds 8 players so when you are ready for your promotion, group up with your friends and head up to battle the Boss.

If you defeat the Sellbot Boss Cog, you will free the hostage Toon who will in turn present you with his "trading card". You can use these cards in battle to call on them for extra assistance in a tough spot. Of course, knowing the Cogs, they will quickly build another Sellbot Boss Cog, so hurry and get your next promotion to rescue another Toon. There are 40 total promotions as you work your way up the corporate ladder.

• Look forward to new items upcoming in the Cattlelog in time for winter.
• New sound effects on emotions and events, as well as MIDI file fixes for notes getting "stuck on".
• Badly placed teleport spot fixed.
• Bugs that caused AI crashes fixed.
• New ActiveX control (be sure to get this or game launch may crash).

If you are away from Toontown for several weeks, when you log back in your next catalog will not skip ahead to catch up. Instead you will receive the next catalog in line so you do not miss anything. For example, if you were playing on Issue 2 and do not log in for several weeks, the next time you log in after the day of the week you usually receive catalogs you will receive Issue 3.

A few notes to clear up confusion on SOS Toons:

There are a few SOS Toons now that are playing Toon-Up animations but actually are not doing Toon-Ups. We will be adding more dialog and interface to make their actual function more obvious.

• Franz Neckvein causes Cogs to miss for that round.
• Soggy Nell causes toons to always hit for that round.
• Melody Wavers restocks gags up to each Toon's limit.

Temporarily, to enable testing, we have turned on unlimited access to these few SOS Toons. When released to the live server SOS Toons will be rare; they are earned as part of Cog Headquarters.

Thanks for all the great bug reports. They have been very helpful! Please keep them coming!

Fishing
New fishing system and interface integrated. Here are the basics:

• You can now catch fish in the ponds located in every playground and street in Toontown. As you fish at a pond, your new fishing bucket will fill up with the fish you catch. When your bucket is full, or if you run out of Jellybeans, you need to sell the fish to the Pet Shop Clerks located near the ponds in the Playgrounds. Fish that are heavier and more rare are worth more Jellybeans. There are 50 total fish species. Some fish have particular ponds where they live, others can be found in every pond. Your fishing rod can be upgraded by purchasing stronger rods sold in Clarabelle's Cattlelog (coming soon). Better rods are stronger and can catch heavier fish, but cost more Jellybeans to fish with. In this initial test release, everybody will have the beginner "twig" fishing rod.
• Each 10 fish species you collect will earn you a fishing trophy and +1 Laff Boost, bringing the maximum Laff points up to 105. You can keep track of the fish you have seen and the trophies you have with a new page in your Shticker Book (temporary artwork).
• Fishing ToonTasks should still work as they always have.
• We will be releasing final fish models and final Shticker Book interface over the next few days. Until the final models are finished, the Pool Shark and Moon Fish are using the Clown Fish model.

Please enjoy helping us test this new system and send us comments, questions, and bugs.

SOS Toons
We are testing an early version of SOS Toons. Now, not only can you call your friends into battle, you can also call shop keepers like Flippy and Li'l Old Man in for help. Since this feature touches many parts of the battle system, it needs thorough testing and accurate bug reporting. We will eventually be integrating this feature into a future release. For testing purposes everybody will be given free access to these helpers. Just press the SOS button on the battle menu and play through as many scenarios as you can think of with your friends.

We found a problem where two separate accounts with the same exact name differing only by capitalization, such as "Flippy" and "flippy", were actually sharing the same Toons.

We have created separate accounts for those that had this conflict and have sent an email to those accounts that were renamed and had an email address entered. Accounts that were renamed now have a "2" at the end, such as "Flippy2". All passwords remained the same.

We sincerely apologize for this confusion. To simplify things, account names are no longer case-sensitive, and nobody should have this problem in the future.

Also new:

Thank you for all the feedback on build 31. We appreciate your thoughtful comments and take all feedback on the game very seriously. Balancing a game of this nature is a difficult task that requires lots of iteration. We appreciate your patience as we continue this process.

September 16, 2002 [sv1.0.29]

We fixed the 35HP limit ToonTask bug and extra gag track choosing ToonTasks. To do so, we had to revoke some track access and HP that was given out prematurely. You may find you no longer have access to some gag tracks given as a result of this bug. Rest assured, your Toon will keep all experience gained while using that track. You will see this experience reappear when your Toon has retrained those tracks. A few Toons also lost some ToonTask progress and will need to pick between Drop and Lure again. We apologize for this error.
