February 16, 2008 [sv1.0.32.7.test]... the final straw?

Improved the show around usage of Pink Slips and firing Cogs.
During C.E.O. battle, Toons now have to charge up their Seltzer Bottles by using a rapid "up/down" arrow key combo similar to Tug-O-War Trolley Game. Once the desired charge level is reached, use the Ctrl key to fire. The higher the charge, the farther you'll shoot and the more damage you'll do!
The C.E.O. will sometimes perform an area attack: "Fore!"
Increased the number of Pink Slips awarded for defeating the C.E.O.
Toons will now be able to check each other's Laff level during C.E.O. battle.
Fixed missing Chief Justice torso.

this is what TT said on the test site
is sv1.0.32.7.test the last piece of the puzzle to putting bbhq on open?

[Kit T. Kat]

probally not

Right now it is still too hard (from what i hear)

[goldentoon]

it need to add a C.E.O battle to toon up....

[Tunovian]

actually, rumor has it that bbhq isnt rlly all tht gr8, i wanna try 4 myself, but my expectations are low, based off of what i heard

[Doctor Leroy_27]

Dear Tunovian,
I know that BBHQ isn't too great, but what difference does it make? The sooner they realease it, the soonser we'll have to stop waiting and the sooner Disney can stop worrying about fixing all of these bugs. Also the sooner Disney can start working on new, awesome things for TT.

Added ability for Toons to receive a Toonup during C.E.O. battle: Try hitting them with a golf ball for Laffs!
More tweaks to "Firing" a Cog.
Fixed several client crashes.
Improved conveyer belt texture inside Banquet Hall.
Added missing C.E.O. battle SpeedChat phrase, "I'll use the golf tee."
Now THIS is the final straw.

another clue it's the last tidbit is that all the updates, i mean ALL of them have to do with BBHQ

[Kit T. Kat]

There are still more bugs and still things that need to be worked on.

There will be more updates for bbhq, and once it is in perfect working order, and the major bugs are fixed, then it will be released.

My guess is that it will be out by March 20th. Since this senario loves to happen. You fix 1 bug and create 2 more.

[Big Business]

At least another week, probably more. They put Bossbot HQ release in the Coming Soon section of the last newsletter, however.

Really now... is TT TRYING to cause repetitive stress syndrome for their players???

EVERYTHING but CFO in TT is a major ergonomic stressor. Left/Right arrows for trolley games is hard enough. My son cannot do it and makes me.

But Up/Down???????????????

Instructions for play position for CEO:

1. Twist your body right or left enough to get your fingers on the up and down arrows. You may want to rotate your keyboard 90 degrees. Notebook users, choose seeing your screen or hurting your wrists please.

2. Use rapid movements, yet please alternate up and down properly or your power is low. You may feel stresses to the index and middle fingers, please ignore such twinges or use other fingers. Your choice.

3. Place other hand on control key, this hand and side of your body is our gift to you, low stress and occasional use. No bending, twisting, or coodination is needed. This is your good side. Relish it's pain free state, your right side is ours. Your chiropractor does not need to examine or treat it right now, please play Toontown more and residual stresses will eventually give way on that side too.

I very well may shun boss... sigh. hurts just thinkin about it.

Seltzer bottle charge up in C.E.O. battle is now accomplished with just hitting the "Up Arrow" key repeatedly.
Added music to C.E.O. battle.
Performed more play balancing of C.E.O. battle, specifically the C.E.O. should now be attacking more Toons as opposed to seemingly concentrate on just one until that Toon becomes sad.
Fixed bug which may cause your Toon to become stuck after jumping off a table as the C.E.O. charges you.

well now it's less painful I guess

[nicoboy11]

Fixed bug in C.E.O. battle where the up arrow key would register as a seltzer bottle charge up even when you're not on the table.
Added Toonup goodies during C.E.O. battle, now to get a Toonup all you need to do is run to the conveyer belts!
Fixed issue with Pink Slip cannon firing animation looking strange on streets around Donald's Dreamland.
Tweaked animation sequence for when you enter Bossbot HQ.
So now they're just fixing the little things
I mean, they even used the word "
tweaked"

[Big Coconut]

Adding a whole new Toonup for the battle is a little more than fixing a little thing...

Changed back to holding down Ctrl key to charge up seltzer bottle during C.E.O. battle. But be careful when trying for a full charge, you could charge up too much and the seltzer bottle will fizzle out causing the charge meter to start from zero again, so pay attention!
Added better audio and visual indicator that the golf ball hit the C.E.O.
Added dust cloud and sound f/x when C.E.O. is defeated.
Added a one second delay and warning sound before C.E.O. performs a "Fore!" area attack.
Adjusted C.E.O. even more so he will be less likely to only attack one Toon at a time.
Fixed a bug where some seltzer bottles spin too fast in C.E.O. battle.
Seltzer squirts will now do twice the damage to to the C.E.O.
Fixed bug where a long list of ToonTask SpeedChat phrases would cause the menu to go pass the bottom of the screen.

you know what I've decided
what's the point of putting BBHQ on test anylonger?
when it goes on open, there'll be plenty of bugs anyway
