As of yesterday, there is absolutely zero excuse for any project to be using stolen Toontown Rewritten source code- quite literally all of the reasons you would want to use that code are now gone. It feels really amazing to be able to say that. All of these features that projects have been forced to re-create for so long, we now have access to their original files. Steal Toontown Rewritten's iteration of these featuresīut with yesterday's leak of the 2010 Toontown source code, we finally have most, if not all of the Toontown Online server code.For the past 7 years, if you wanted to make a Toontown private server, you had to do one of the following things: The primary features that were missing were Toon Estates, Gardening, Holidays, Toon Parties, the Toontorial, and a few other miscellaneous things. This means that for the other 35%, the community would have to code everything from scratch. In 2013 when Toontown Online closed, what many developers did is scour various old copies of the game and decompiled them in an effort to find any accidentally added server code they could.Īll in all, I would say that about 65% of Toontown Online's original server code was retrieved. They sometimes did this in the live game, but they also did it quite a bit with the Test Server and International Servers. However, at times, Disney would accidentally include a little bit of server code in with the compiled version of the game. Client code does not perform any critical logic, such as deciding whether a Birthday Cake should kill a lured Level 10 Cog- the server code handles all of that. This makes sense, because client code makes up the visuals of a game- everything that creates the interface, animations, cutscenes, and so on. When Disney compiled new versions of the game, they typically included only the client code. I'll try my best to explain for anyone that doesn't have a background in programming. So unfortunately, it's not the most up-to-date source code from 2013, but hey, it's pretty darn close.īut what about the 2nd reason? Code we've never had access to, and commented out code? Well, this reason is one that I am personally even more excited about. I say 95%, because this source code is from the middle of 2010- specifically in the middle of Field Office development. And to think, I was happy with only 5%! The source code leak posted yesterday has over 95% of the original game's documentation. As a developer for Toontown, it was like Christmas day seeing something like this for the first time. They had copied and pasted, say, 5% of the game's code in order for this program to run. This is a tool Disney used to create promotional images for the game. Some of us have spent years memorizing what certain things in the code do, where they are, etc.īack in June, we were lucky enough to get our hands on a small snippet of Toontown code with documentation via the way of Robot Toon Manager. For the past 7 years that fans have been developing this game, we've had to make sense of Disney's work all by ourselves with little to no guidance. So when us fans began to decompile the game in 2013, there was no documentation to be found. That's just the nature of compiling the game. When Disney compiled the live game back in the day, all documentation would get automatically lost. In the past, we've had ZERO documentation. It gives us a better grasp as to what the heck the Disney programmers were thinking when they originally wrote the game's code. So what do these two things mean exactly? Allow me to explain.Ĭode that has documentation is incredibly useful for developers. It contains code we've never had access to, including commented out code.There are two main reasons the original source code is so important: But to those of us who are Toontown developers, whether that be for Rewritten, Clash, Offline, Tooniversal, or whatever project you may play, these are files we've been dreaming to get our hands on for years. To the average player, the recent leak may seem like something to simply shrug off. So why I am telling you this? I'm making this post because I think it's important to spread awareness as to how big of a deal this actually is. u/satire6 is the same user who made the "Spotify" or "Pandora" leak three months ago that contains all of the original assets for the game- perhaps the biggest file dump in the history of the community. This post links to a Github repository that is host to a 2010 copy of the Toontown Online source code. To those who are unaware, a post was made to this subreddit yesterday by /u/satire6.
