Recording coming soon!

Lore: Ludwig Needs Your Help

• Pure curiosity, how many of you are running the new lore event?
  • Rough part of waiting for people to crack the current step
• A new lore challenge has made its way onto the server, the quest to save Ludwig has begun.
• Lore discord is already working tirelessly to solve it
  • They’ve transcribed an audio recording to show you where they’re at
• Roughly 9 stages to this objective, people are progressing fast which is great to see, but it’s definitely a HARD challenge
• The first person who solves it will unlock a year of IF+ for free as well as some cool custom titles for being the first person
  • To be honest, the gatekeeping doesn’t help with how difficult this challenge is — teamwork is key

Rise of the Resistance!

• What did y’all think? It’s been quite an eventful month

What’s Next?

• All we’ll say is that a little birdie told us that you’ll like the next ride…
• Moving on!

May 4th Event

• What did y'all think of Star Wars Month!
• Hyperspace Prizes will be distributed shortly to the top 5 players
  • Will try to make seasonal rides (HMH, MAD, etc.) have rewards at the end of their season
    • Side note: will get a “take me back to the start” NPC at the end of Haunted Mansion soon
• Congrats to everybody who competed, it was quite a close race near the end

Pride Event

• Coins for Change is going well!
• We’ve removed the max daily contribution limit now that everyone who wanted to donate has had a chance to

Events This Month & Next Month

• The summer is jam-packed!
• Grad Nite
• Some other smaller weekend events in the works
• More Pride festivities throughout the whole month of course
• Summer event kicks off next month! You’ll have a blast!

Resource Pack Updates

• We’re working on a system to allow us to fix up some weird RP inconsistencies
• Like the hotbar & mickey texture on 1.20.2+
• And the pack not loading for 1.20.6
• Super close to having 1.20.6 working, fixing last shader issues preventing pack from loading
  • Minecraft redid the entire shader default system, which has caused quite a headache
• Issues with detecting 1.20.6 right now

PINS PINS PINS

• With the achievements there has been a LOT more pin pack purchases
• Buffing the pin hoarder pins pricing to make it more viable to buy and sell lots of pins

Warp FX Are Here!

• [Thread] Suggest your crazy warp FX ideas and we’ll make them come to life!

Park Refurbishments

• GRR
  • Midnightb is working on refurbishing areas of Grizzly Peak (completely demolished, rebuilding as fast as possible)
• Esplanade
• Main St Station
• Refurbished Disneyland train station and surrounding area foliage
• Refurbished New Orleans Square and surrounding area foliage
  • Treehouse area looking great
• Various smaller foliage fixes and QOL changes around the park
  • Making the trees more realistic
• QOL updates to Haunted Mansion
• Unsure if we’ll touch up other land areas like Frontierland, but maybe in the future!

• Cool behind-the-scenes look at the dev work on dynamic lighting depending on time of day:

• Going to look at redoing ambient audio throughout the parks, working to improve the speaker system (ambient music playing softly in the background in addition to birds, nearby waterfalls, other ambient sounds that play in the lands that we don’t have on the server) to make it an even more immersive experience

Hotels?!?!

• We’re getting closer to a definitive release date,
• Been a long journey through various iterations
• [Thread] Tell us everything you want to see in hotels on launch — can’t guarantee it all but want to make sure we’ve covered at least a majority of what people are hoping for
• Furniture pack leak (themed packs of decor you can buy to decorate your room):

• IF Ikea showrooms for furniture packs at the mall??
• We haven’t locked in KC prices so can’t say, but first initial room will be very accessible and big enough for you to do whatever you’d like to do
• also working on letting people set up stores in their hotel rooms, placing a copy of the magic crate in their rooms so you can open magic crates in your own room

Market Changes + Auctions Release

• removing the market expiration system
• Adding a limited amount of items you can post at a time (averaging based on what users are posting)
  • Limit will not affect the average active market user, don’t worry
• Adding graphs to see purchase history as well as current price offerings
  • tl;dr want to build the Steam market
• Raising the price limit to 750k
• Auctions will roll out at the same time as this, We’ve discussed them before but
  • very customizable, you as the seller set all the variables like max time, starting bid, bid increment, sealed vs unsealed etc
  • eBay on IF
• Adding a small tax to market listings and auctions - will just be a couple % of the price. taxes can be lowered depending on what mayor is in office
• Mayors will release along with this, one big package deal

Questions questions questions

• Disclaimer: item suggestions can go in #suggestions channel on Discord
• When will we be able to shift + right click pins into the pin collection book again?
  • Didn’t even know it was broken but will fix (only new 3 pin packs)
• Is having Player Shops at Downtown Disney still being considered when the area opens?
  • Did not know this was publicly discussed but still down, need to discuss ourselves before committing
• Will more areas get refurbed as the year goes on?
  • Absolutely! Which areas would you guys say need refurbishment?
    • Frontierland, waiting to find out what IRL park NOS refurb looks like, Fantasyland retouches (background buildings and trees), tidy up Adventureland
• Will the /ranks UI be updated? The information is extremely outdated
  • Will update ASAP
• Will rank descriptions on the IF store be added back? It's said image0.jpg for all ranks (except IF+) for the past 3-4 months.
  • Rank descriptions broke again, Cam will fix tonight
• Any updates on the vote shop?
  • Done, just planning a release date!
• Any updates on the top rider Hall of Fame?
  • Build is done, in the design phase of deciding what we want the top rider visuals to be
  • Thought about it and trying to see if we can do something a little cooler than just having NPCs, exploring the idea of essentially having portraits on the wall in the Hall of Fame of you rendered in front of your ride, kind of like Photopass. Trying to see if we can make it look super nice, going for “museum oil painting” aesthetic.
    • If all else fails, will release as NPCs
• Will a "Seasonal" tab be added to /ridestats?
  • Yes
• Add a Platinum Trophy item for when you complete all the achievements as a reward. [Reference to PlayStation Platinum Trophy for when you collect all the trophies (achievements) in a game.]
  • Will have to double check rewards, down to give out a trophy
• A command to let you view duplicates of the held item in your locker, could be helpful if you want to clean up your storage. (e.g. /duplicates)
  • Could probably do that, would say /lockersearch is your friend and use that for now
• The #suggestions channel could be changed into the Discord forum channel format for ease of use (no command) and to increase discussion/reactions on posts that were obscured. The #support channel could also work in the Discord forum channel format as well, if the M-O bot can't do forums.
  • Not sold yet, haven’t had great experience with them but definitely exploring ways to manage suggestions and be public with it
• A hologram beside the M&G NPC that shows the amount of people in the normal queue and the priority queue. It could also be a command (e.g. /queueline, /queueamount).
  • Like this idea, can definitely add to make it stand out a little more
• The ability to move all pins from your inventory into your pinbook automatically, could be done with a button.
  • Will definitely add shift + right click back to packs missing it
• Ability to sort auction house items by item rarity (could be in the sort options).
  • quite a big undertaking to redo this storage system but working on better sorting and searching
• Are there going to be new achievements releasing soon?
  • Starting to implement soon!
• Any updates on new minigames/minigame events?
  • Those will start later in the year when we start adding new games and events
• A ping sound when a raffle is starting. This can be configured in settings to either be on or off.
  • Will probably skip this one for now, like having pings just for messages
• I remember there being some talk about making a way for players to see how long of IF+ we have left, any updates on that? :o
  • yes, have implemented a warning message for 3 days and 5 days left, can give a command to check exact dates
• also curious about what future plans there are in regards to keeping the server safe :)
  • Nara: We’re always working on refining our automod protection for things like server raids and training staff members on potential situations. We’re feeling good about the state of our server moderation these days, but if you have a specific concern you can feel free to message me here on Discord or create a ticket.
• is grizzly river pass blocked off for refurb?
  • Pretty short downtime, should be back up soon
• ImagineFun story when? Its been my most anticipated project for the past 3 years! /j
  • No comment!
• will a FP be added to ROTR soon?
  • Yes, will be on the builder to-do list
• When will coins for change event items be fixed to pick up/claim?
  • Will be fixed right as we get the final item in, has just been made — will put out a changelog to let you know
• Any chance of the Nite events returning?
  • Grad nite for sure, others always possible!
• any ideas of new rides coming to Retro? (Screamin', Splash (when the time comes), etc.)
  • Splash will be there soon, once Tiana’s opens
• would a feature be added to be able to press kingdom coins into a penny press machine to get a custom "penny"?
  • Have seen this suggestion a bunch, not something we’re against but not sure how we’d do it — could make it a pin collection essentially where you can collect a ton of pressed penny styles from different lands
• is the Disneyland monorail going to be open when the hotel is open?
  • Wouldn’t bet on it, but we did have some discussions about the monorail recently. Would say you should expect to see the monorail running quite a while before it’s ready for players to ride it
• Will the Hall of Fame contain the overall leaderboard for rides? or just the NPCs of top riders?
  • Will just contain the top all-time person, plaque/sign that you can click to see the top 5
• Will the screen technology on ROTR ever be made to work on newer versions?
  • Does work on newer versions, issue is with Iris (Sodium) the shader mod that reworks how shaders work in game, which breaks the shader we use for those screens — constantly looking for workarounds, but if you run a newer version on Vanilla it’ll work just fine
• A more technical one but I'm curious about how much the /lockersearch affects the performance of the server now that it's available for everyone to use.
  • It’s a non-issue, pretty solid
• Are Star Wars-related daily quests staying permanently?
  • We like how it’s been adding new activities to the daily queue, but if people start getting tired of them we can phase them out
• Will we get regular Junimos after pride?
  • Yes! Seems like people have quite liked them!
• Is Parkeology resetting because it hasn't since ROTR released?
  • Resetting it soon!
• Will we get any other functionality with the Poke Balls? maybe more elemental effects like the lightning that just got added? battle minigame?
  • I think you’ll eventually see other stuff, lightning definitely came out of nowhere, but will continue to integrate it in the future
• Now that we have rise of the resistance, will we get Mickey and Minnie runaway railway soon? It’s the same ride system.
  • Same ride system in the park doesn’t mean it’s the same for us unfortunately, some technical challenges we’re not yet sure on how to do at the same quality we can offer Rise at, don’t want to commit to a timeline yet because of it
• Will the penthouse be released alongside hotels? Will it be the same from the last time we saw it?
  • Want us to bring back the penthouse as an explorable place, not sure where it would fit since we’ve redone the structure of the hotel since then
• similar to the NPC portrait idea for the top rider hall of fame, would it be possible to have something like that for hotels, as something you can display on the wall? maybe you can pay KC to get a picture generated from a bunch of presets from around the server?
  • That’s definitely a cool idea, not against it — really want to make a way for you to buy a photopass photo so you can place it in your hotel room
    • Definitely won’t be a release feature with hotels, but something that is on our radar
• can VIP hall peoples pick hats for their npcs?
  • Yes, something we’re looking at. Definitely do-able
• Hows Toy Story mania progress?
  • there is none
