Toontown Offline v2.0 Public Preview Release



The OFFICIAL release of Toontown Offline v2.0! The public preview, actually, but still. This will be everybody's first taste of Toontown Offline v2.0, and what to expect!



Logan stated yesterday that the game would be delayed for another week. Well, I've decided to just go ahead and release it now. The reason it was delayed was because of a last minute issue w/ our build tools and our server code preventing the game from being run. Needless to say, our build tools are still sloppy, and as a result, this public preview required more for the end-user to download than we were hoping for. This means that you do need to download Panda3D and *possibly* the Visual C++ Redistributable package, which are both included. Having said that, the game works! And that's all that matters for the preview. In the future, we will ensure that Panda3D and the Visual C++ redist are not needed, if possible.



NOTE: You only need the Visual C++ redist if you've never used TTOffline v1 or any other server code before that utilizes Astron. If you are able to play TTOffline v1, then you already have that package and you're good to go. Having said that, the provided Panda3D is required due to changes being made to the engine itself that you probably don't have. It won't work without it!



Now normally we'd break the client and game data into two packages, but for the preview, I'll release it into one, since this won't end up being the finalized client anyways. Initial release will have the two separated.



So enough of my blabbering, let's get to the download links. Oh and sorry Mac users, no Mac support yet!



NOTE: YOU NEED THE PROVIDED PANDA3D OR ELSE IT WILL NOT WORK!



Download Panda3D 1.8.1 (Astron)



If you do not have the Visual C++ redist package, download that



And last but CERTAINLY not least, if you don't have the public preview client (which you shouldn't!), download that



r.i.p my google drive



Panda3D and the preview itself are too big for Google to scan for viruses, so just ignore that. If you're still skeptical, you can scan the files yourself, they should all be clean! (Except Norton seems to like to flag Panda3D is a virus? what). The TTOffLauncher.exe in the public preview MAY be considered a threat due to it being a bat file turned into an exe, but it is clean! If you're still skeptical, the scripts folder has all the bat files needed. Just not automated for you!



I expect people to have issues loading the game and there will be plenty of bugs, so please either leave your bugs/issues in this thread or in the Bug Megathread hosted by Catstew, and I'll be paying attention to both actively for the rest of today!

You may have to run Astron as admin for it to work properly!
