January

January 17, 2008 [sv1.0.31.5]

  • Fixed a bug that affected the SpeedChat phrase discard GUI panel. This panel comes up when your Toon has the maximum number of SpeedChat phrases and you either try to buy another phrase or receive one as a gift in your MailBox. The bug would allow you to "click thru" the SC phrase discard panel and click on whatever button that happens to be under it, accidentally bringing up another panel which would cause you to be "stuck".
  • Removed JellyBean combinations for flowers that does not exist but would still be accepted, causing issues with your Garden.
  • Various stability enhancements.

March

March 6, 2008 [sv1.0.32.17]

  • Bossbot Headquarters Released!
  • Attention Toons of Toontown! The Toon Council is pleased to announce that Toons are now cleared to storm the headquarters of the Bossbots. That's right, Bossbot Headquarters is now open! Toons can reach Bossbot HQ via Chip 'n Dale's MiniGolf -- where a new Cog-constructed tunnel has mysteriously appeared. It turns out the Bossbots are hiding out in their Country Club, playing endless games of golf, and it's up to resourceful Toons to stop them!
  • Once you enter, there are three Bossbot Country Club courses available. While any Toon can enter "The Front Three," a minimum of 101 Laff points is required for "The Middle Six," with 106 Laff points needed for "The Back Nine." Play through each to earn your Stock Options. The "ultra-exclusive" Bossbot Clubhouse contains the toughest Cogs in all of Toontown, even upgraded v2.0 Cogs, so you'll need to work on a new Bossbot Disguise to enter "unnoticed." To begin building your Bossbot Disguise, visit Toon HQ after completing the ToonTasks after Donald's Dreamland. Plus, earn a total Laff boost of +5 upon completing all levels of your "The Big Cheese" Bossbot disguise. Once you are ready, don your Bossbot Disguise and enter the Clubhouse to face many new challenges -- including the dreaded Bossbot C.E.O. Keep Toontown safe from the Bossbots and defeat the C.E.O. to earn a Pink Slip reward to dispatch a deserving Cog! Toons of the World Unite!

Other bug fixes in this release:

  • Fixed a bug where if your Toon has a full Friends List and you try to add another friend, you see a dialog window erroneously stating they have a full Friends List.
