Disney's Toontown Online/Revisional Differences

This is a sub-page of Disney's Toontown Online.

To do: Pretty much everything. Even enough content to split up into multiple Sub-Pages. Sort differences by Release Note build, NOT by year. Difficulty changes in the Sellbot HQ Factory. Changed playground layouts like the merry-go-round in Minnie's Melodyland. Changed-around appearances for NPCs (ex. Tutorial Tom having a bigger muzzle). Removed lowercase Toon names. Apparently the game had ambient effects in Cog facilities that were unintentionally broken in an unknown update after 2008, and never fixed. Several Cog attack animations broke over time due to oversights: (YouTube URL code: FeW7ic5HLPE) Tutorial Tom's head model was changed around 2010, and his muzzle was made larger. This broke an animation where his ears would raise in surprise when he sees a Flunky outside his shop, as the animation was not made to work with that head model. This was never fixed. Various changes to Sellbot HQ, such as skyboxes being changed very early in the game's lifespan (YouTube URL code: mS1GJ-VdDno). Generic shop interiors had their wallpapers changed in circa sv1.0.7.12.

Toontown Online has went through many changes throughout the years, whether it be minor aesthetic changes or differences in gameplay. Only a handful of these backups are saved on the internet that share distinct similarities, and comparisons will be made using similar-dated builds where that change was made.

This page will cover Release Notes in both Open and Test Servers, due to having the same build format and changes carried over vice versa. Test-only builds will be marked to distinguish.

One Halloween decoration texture was downscaled.

At least sv1.0.38.34 and prior	At least sv1.0.47.7

Changed Membership Benefit Graphics

A few of the Membership Benefit graphics were redone for various reasons;

features-catalog

At least sv1.0.13.21	At least sv1.0.15.38 - Last Release

The texture was changed from the view of the Cattlelog to the Toon performing the Membership-exclusive Emotion, likely to make it clearer what is exclusive.

features-chat

At least sv1.0.13.21	At least sv1.0.15.38 - Last Release

The texture was "retaken" at a different angle, likely to show a clearer view of the Toons chatting...even if the large Tunnel text (that was shrunk in later updates) and Holiday decorations look a tad out of place.

features-gags

At least sv1.0.13.21	At least sv1.0.15.38 - Last Release

Oddly, the original graphic has the with all Gag Tracks in battle, which is impossible in normal gameplay. This was changed to a view of it in the Shticker Book.

features-holidays

At least sv1.0.13.21	At least sv1.0.15.38 - Last Release

The graphic was changed from a view of the Fireworks to a generic holiday image, likely because Fireworks were accessible to non-member Toons.

features-hoods

At least sv1.0.13.21	At least sv1.0.15.38 - Last Release

The graphic was updated to include more Neighborhoods than just Donald's Dock.

features-typeAName

At least sv1.0.13.21	At least sv1.0.15.38 - Last Release

Though not at a first glance, the texture was slightly zoomed in. It was also originally called features_palette_3cmla_1.jpg. Oddly, the texture wasn't updated to include the new Create-A-Toon interface.

Changed Accessory

The feather on the Robin Hood had was originally white before it got changed to red, for some reason.

Around sv1.0.47.7	At least sv1.0.47.22

Level 7 Gags Changes

Battle Menu Change

When the Level 7 Gags was released on September 28, 2006, the Battle Menu was slightly widened to make room for them. Oddly enough it wasn't updated to include the FIRE button when Bossbot HQ was introduced.

sv1.0.22.17 and Prior	sv1.0.23.9 - Last Release

Gag Shop Panel

The Gag Shop panel was also widened.

sv1.0.22.17 and Prior	sv1.0.23.9 - Last Release

sv1.0.22.17 and Prior	sv1.0.23.9 - Last Release

Toon Info Panel

At least sv1.0.15.38 - sv1.0.22.17	sv1.0.23.9 - Last Release

The Toon info graphic was also changed, and downscaled for some reason.

features-gags

At least sv1.0.15.38 - sv1.0.22.17	sv1.0.23.9 - Last Release

The membership benefits graphic was changed to accommodate for the new Gags, by replacing the image with a Toon using a Birthday Cake in battle.

Boardwalk Floor

The boardwalk floor seen in Donald's Dock had its texture adjusted.

At least sv1.0.13.15	At least sv1.0.15.38 - Last Release

Golf Ball

The Golf Ball used in the Tee Off Attack also had its texture changed.

At least sv1.0.13.15	At least sv1.0.15.38 - Last Release

Removed Doodle Names

The following Doodle names were removed in an update for various reasons. In PetNameMasterEnglish.txt, the strings were commented out with a hash.

#186*0*M
#276*0*Rumpelstiltskin
#306*0*Tarzan
#382*1*Brunhilda
#438*1*Goldilocks
#440*1*Griselda
#513*1*Morticia
#615*2*Amaretto
#1432*2*Krypton
#1503*2*Machete
#1664*2*Nosferatu
#1792*2*Piglet
#1977*2*S
#2474*2*Underdog
#2642*2*X

They were removed for various reasons;

• Amaretto was removed likely due to sharing a name with an alcoholic Italian drink.
• "M", "S" and "X" were likely removed to avoid any unintentional sexual connotations.
• The following Doodle names were removed due to the Toon Name rules of not being named after familiar characters;
  • "Piglet" was removed likely to avoid sharing a name with a character from Winnie The Pooh, which was a work adapted by Disney.
  • "Krypton" and "Underdog" was removed likely to avoid sharing name with Krypto the Superdog and Underdog.
  • Morticia was removed to avoid sharing a name with a character from The Addams Family, despite the name itself not being copyrighted.
  • "Brunhilda", "Nosferatu", "Griselda", "Goldilocks" and "Rumpelstiltskin" were removed, despite those names not being copyrighted. "Tarzan" was under copyright during the game's lifespan, though the name would enter the public domain in 2024.

Donald's Dock Toon Headquarters

sv1.0.36.9 and Prior	sv1.0.36.10
File:TTO DDockToonHQ Before.png	File:TTO DDockToonHQ After.png

The mast of the Donald's Dock Toon Headquarters was changed from an unfitting gold to a more suitable wooded-green color.

Cog Voices

Before 2010, the Cogs used a different sound effect when asking a question. It should be noted that while the Cogs shared sound effects with the Skelecogs and bosses, the sound wasn't changed accordingly for the latter two groups.

File Name	sv1.0.40.11	sv1.0.40.12?	Notes
COG_VO_grunt.mp3
COG_VO_murmur.mp3
COG_VO_question.mp3
COG_VO_statement.mp3

sv1.0.40.11 and Prior?	sv1.0.40.12?

Removed Text on Street Props

To do: Compare with models. Are the foreign-language textures even used?

At some point around sv1.0.10.10, the text on the trashcans and mailboxes were removed.

• 

  Removed Trash Text found on MML Trashcans confirmed to be in Toontown 2003.

• 

  Direct palette from the 2003 phase files which contains the removed texture.

• 

  A trashcan label in French from the France 2009 phase files supposedly for Donald's Dock. (More info is in Image Description)

• 

  Removed Mail Text found on Toontown Central Trashcans confirmed to be in Toontown 2003.

• 

  Texture from Toontown which contains removed Mailbox Mail Text which is confirmed to be in Toontown 2003.

• 

  Another variant of the removed Mail text but in French from the France 2009 phase files! (The French game client has individual textures rather than unified texture sheets.)

Bookshelf Silver Plane

• 

  The bookshelf Sliver Plane.

• 

  The original correct bookshelf.

This plane was originally on the basic bookshelf that could be seen in shop buildings in the Streets. When Estates were released, the files of the red-and-yellow plane and the silver plane were forgotten to be separated leaving the silver plane to be seen in the Estate for a while. It would later be replaced with the red-and-yellow variant when Goofy Speedway was released on the Open server, shrunk down when Bossbot HQ came out and removed entirely around 2011.

Roadblock Texture

These roadblock textures were used in the game's early days when Streets weren't open, but would go unused, even not being present in the Acorn Acres tunnel.

Tunnel Textures

Were used during specific events but now all used the "TUNNEL AHEAD" texture.
