Public Stage Call #11

Public Stage Call #11

ImagineFunImagineFun / Oct 1, 2024

Good morning Imagine Fun + welcome back to the monthly stage call

Quests

  • Expect Magic Pass season 2 later in the month or start of November. Letting Halloween play out first
  • New daily quest improvements just got merged as well as a variety of quest bug fixes
    • Land-based daily ride quests (ride a ride in Fantasyland)
    • Trying to add more easy fun dailies like voting
  • Quests stuff is so slow the system is wonky but see it's something we're actively working on
  • Might even be some new daily quest types coming soon!

Tiki Room

  • We had so much fun with the Tiki release, thank you all for attending
  • The public release was crazy with an absolutely packed room (over 100 players in the room!)
  • Preshow is not forgotten
  • We appreciate you bearing with us while we figured out our lovely door issues
    • Taking this door logic system and putting it in Lincoln too to make it more consistent
  • What did you all think?

Ride Updates

  • Fixed a bunch of Tiki bugs
    • Fix going out soon for the drummers
  • Heimlich is now a 2 seater vehicle once again
  • We have 3 types of rides that we classify: constant spawn, pre-spawned, and normal
    • Normal: you walk up and the ride spawns in, get off and it despawns
    • Pre-spawned: one ride vehicle/area, like flik’s flyers
    • Constant spawn: carts always going (like DLRR)
  • Ariel is now a constant spawned and has conveyor belts which means its 1000000x better
    • Cam spent soo much time making sure conveyor belts move at same speed as shells
  • We might get a little goofy and update a few more rides to be constant spawned in the next couple weeks
    • 3 rides on standby to move to constant spawn. One is Peoplemover tbh
  • Lincoln will be having its show system upgraded to match the logic we built for tiki to prevent the doors from becoming desync’d

Halloween Firework Show

  • FIREWORKS WOOOO
  • Disabled fireworks in prep for Halloween Screams Fireworks!
  • Spending some time redoing projections and spotlights like they were done for Mix Magic
  • Keep an eye out for that around this weekend!

Halloween

  • Casually forgot to mention it is Oct 1st and we started Halloween on IF!
  • There will be a prize for those who finish top of leaderboard for GOTG: MAD and HMH
    • Probably a pin

Questions

Click on the question to expand the answer!

Given that Tiki room released just over a week ago, what is something that suprised you about the release of it to the general public?
  • That the servers stayed on 20 TPS with 130+ people in the room at one time!!
    • 20 Ticks Per Second is how MC servers run (Basically 20 actions per second). When running perfectly will stay at 20. Anything above 16 is considered “playable”. Below is rough
    • Does /help still work?
  • Currently in the process of migrating the bot. Experimenting with a new deployment, or will just set it to auto-go to all the staff. It originally did that but something got disconnected. Hopefully soon. Shoutout Cody we love Cody
    • When will Parkeology be reset to include Retro rides?
  • In the upcoming weeks. You’ll see it in a changelog
    • Will the flowers (that ascend from the ceiling) move their mouth in Tiki Room?
  • Probably not. Would require a lot more animating that we aren’t able to do at this time. Also trying to keep entities down to reduce lag
    • Will there be subtitles for the Tiki Room?
  • Yes we currently don’t have a way to support playing subtitles in attraction-based rides which is why there aren’t any in Lincoln either. Looking into it but don’t have a timeline
    • Are all QR codes for Saber Parts available for scanning? People have looked and they've only found 18/20 codes
  • They should be, will mark this and take a look at what’s going wrong!
    • Is there any chance we could get a customised 1st Visit Button based on our join date just like the new guests?
  • Will figure out a way to distribute this
    • Now that Tiki Room is recently open, what are you going to work on next?
  • Can’t tell you
    • Should we expect any new/returning rides this year?
  • Ummm yes
  • Tbh Autopia was… being worked on just the other day. Can’t tell you when it’ll actually be finished
    • can we have /dab on IF minecraft
  • Absolutely not
    • Will we get more secret quests in the future, like the one to save Ludwig's soul?
  • Absolutely
  • Don’t know when we’ll take the time to write them. Wanted your opinion, with Ludwig’s soul we kind of helped you out a fair bit with getting started. How would you feel if we just started making these and then didn’t help you out at all? Maybe will give you a hint on how they start, but not give as much of a hint for how to progress. Definitely similar difficulty though
    • Will GOTG MAD have autograb like GOTG MB or ToT? (being pulled from the door)
  • Yes, has it!
    • I know this is a early question but since esplanade is decorated for halloween, coud we see esplanade decorated for christmas?
  • Not sure yet! No idea
    • When will the ride stats menu appear if you click on a player's portrait?
  • Apologies, definitely thought it was fixed and will look into what’s happening with it
    • Now that HMH and GOTG: MAD have returned for Halloween, when can we expect to get a Seasonal tab in /ridestats? It would be nice to view our stats for both ride versions simultaneously, regardless of the time of year.
  • Think we are going to do that but not 100% sure when. Will try to wrap it up for around the time when we roll back to HM regular (maybe end of year)
    • When will the ImagineFun Discord and bug report form be added to /links?
  • Didn’t know they were missing there, both have their own commands but can add
    • Why does/compliment take users to the report/complaint form?
  • Don’t know what happened to our aliasing it got mixed up and haven’t found where that one is created from.
    • When will the vote shop finally be released?
  • No dates
    • Could we get an IRL stuffed animal Duck Dimmaquack in the IF Merch store? I would love to purchase one
  • Will see what we can do. No promises
    • Will we ever see plushies/pins such as munchlings in IF? (Meaning the newer sets that have been released in the parks with different characters and themes too for Christmas!)
  • Don’t know!
    • Do you plan to move or copy the server on Hytale or other games in the future?
  • Don’t think Hytale is ever going to release tbh. Not really viable for us to start from ground 0 on a new game rn
    • Will the August meeting have the recording uploaded soon?
  • Okaaaay Cam will find it
    • Will we have any special Halloween events, like costume contests?
  • Well idk!! Would definitely keep an eye on the Discord throughout the month for more announcements!
    • Hotels?? Any new info or update on pricing?
  • None to discuss
    • Any progress on Mickey and Minnie’s runaway railway
  • None to discuss
    • Any new Minigames?
  • None for now
    • Any hints on the next magic pass?
  • Can’t tell you
    • can we get a npc that buys warp effects?
  • Probably at some point
  • Trixie can franchise to warp effects
    • When can we expect to be able to [item] in party chat?
  • Idk if ever
    • Can we get Halloween warp effects and titles?
  • Will probably be releasing some TP FX later on throughout the month. No promises on when. Definitely titles
    • can we get autograb removed off some rides that just don’t need it? examples: jumpin, dumbo, astro, jessie’s, silly swings, zephyr, and dlrr
  • So the purpose of autograb is for a lot of players who struggle with clicking, something we constantly see, which is why we brought it back. Will definitely change up/tweak the radius but definitely not removing. Actively tweaking rides where it currently picks you up from the exit
  • Goal is to make it easier to get on rides, not harder
    • Any rides getting /pov soon
  • Yes, but can’t tell which ones
    • Please may we have cheese hat; Also, what is everyones favourite type of cheese?
  • Sure bc it sounds funny
  • long tangent about flavored goat cheese and Trader Joe’s
    • are we getting the nightmare before christmas tarot pins again this year?
  • Don’t know yet!
    • Is there a chance we can suggest songs to add to the mix at esplanade on audio?
  • Don’t know if we’re changing this years but can note it down and try to update next year
    • How was your boat vacation cam?
  • Lovely, but very happy to be home. Missed desk and PC and playing games like the new HP Quidditch game and Epic Mickey (30 seconds of playtime on both tbh)
    • Are the fastpasses for HMH going to be fixed? You can get them but the scanner doesn’t take them
  • Cam will look into that right after this call
    • Will we ever get a model for Sully in Monster’s Inc.?
  • Never say never
    • Could we see smaller time multipliers for small grind sessions (ex. 1 hour, 30 mins, etc)? Maybe a vote crate addition?
  • Would definitely be down to do that. Been thinking about it and might change IF+ 6 hour ones to be slightly smaller time range
    • Can we make the enchanted wreath wearable?
  • Sure will do after this
    • Can we get a Gravity Falls pin pack?
  • No plans on it but never say never
    • would it be possible for there to be a way to view our fireworks stats? it would be nice to be able to check that
  • Considering if we want to combine all different shows as 1 stat (firework leaderboard) or separate?
  • Everyone was saying individual so will add leaderboard outside castle that shows current fireworks thing. Will make it so you can do /ridestats <show> to view the LB of the show, not gonna add a tab but you can look it up manually
    • apologies if this has already been asked, but any updates on a command to see when our IF+ expires?
  • Currently working on a full revamp of the IF+ system, with that will be a little display that tells you how long you have left
    • NPC that buys Ducks?
  • No I think the ducks will stay!
    • do we get an update on magic crates? specifically the mystery machine costume that got leaked a while ago?
  • Will return maybe
    • Discord duck dimmaquack emoji?
  • Definitely
    • When will the vote crate get an updatee!?
  • Cam likes seeing people ask about the vote crate so he never touches it
    • Can Mr Toads car spawn back further to give more time to click on it?
  • Probably won’t update where it spawns but will make it so it doesn’t move right away
    • What’s happening with the meet and greet queues? And also you mentioned a while ago about having a schedule for meet n greets… will this still happen?
  • Still going over all our options right now, want to create what we feel will help the most amount of players with the problem. Taking more time to think it through and talk about other additional changes at first inside the staff team, then will bring it up in a stage call based on what we’re deciding to give you our thoughts and hear yours
    • Thoughts on a wand that controls things around the park, fountains, lights, etc or too much work?
  • lolol would be cool
    • The HOF and the individualized portraits are cool, but the location is very isolated from the rest of the server. Even if people know about it, the average person will only visit it once or twice. Plus, the hall combines everyone's accomplishments into one place, so as an individual, you don't "stand out" because it coexists with everyone else. At a ride, NPCs and leaderboards stand out because they display the top players for just that ride. Why is it that top overall riders get zero representation at their actual ride? Many of us have spent months to years grinding to attain top overall spots, so it's pretty discouraging that only yearly and weekly riders get NPCs at the ride itself.
  • We read the thread, had a lot of thought and conversations about it
  • At this point we aren’t going to be changing it in that regard, but will be working to make it more accessible. Added alerts in chat and will continue to work on that
  • If you’re a new player it’s very discouraging to see 200d+ of ride time. Additionally, a lot of the top riders aren’t actively grinding. By adding a yearly it highlights the current active grinders
  • We do understand that need for recognition, so we’re reviving an old project so the top overall rider will be the ride dispatcher! They’ll take your skin and wear the ride’s ride operator outfit! A cool way to recognize the top riders as a part of the ride :) (yes, will update when a new person takes top overall rider)
  • Hope you all can understand why we made those changes and structured it the way we did!
    • can the tiki birds be invisible while in the offhand? they obstruct a bit of the screen when having them on your shoulder
  • Will see

    • Halloween Event!

    • 2024 Halloween Event
    • 4 Teams
      • Sour Skeletons
      • Marshmallow Mummies
      • Bubblegum Bats
      • Fudge Frankensteins
    • Prizes at every 5 level
    • Perks at every other level (multipliers, etc)
    • Don’t currently plan on letting people change teams because we feel it would get unbalanced
    • Will leak that there are some costume designs that will be provided

    Announcement/event release!
