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.

Your bug reports have been a great help to the development of Toontown. Thank you for your continued support as we strive to make Toontown the best game it can be. We expect to send out more accounts to fan club members once this latest release is stable.

Other fixes include:
  • Fixed missing sidewalk grass and stair textures in Daisy Gardens.
  • Fixed left-over Toons standing in minigames.
  • Fixed bug causing large holes in streets.
  • Fixed problems caused by having older versions of Toontown installed.
  • Fixed several graphics card related problems.
  • Fixed various battle bugs.
  • Added default login field.
  • Improved wording on Gag Track ToonTasks.
