Update Log: 2022/05/28

Good morning! I've been holding onto this post for a bit, since I wanted to slow down on updates for awhile, but I've been updating test build for personal testing, and I kind of left it in a pretty disastrous state; so this post is here to let you why test build is so cursed.

It'll be fixed later today or something after I've woken up from my sleep.

For those wondering about the plushies, I am taking a break from them for a few more days, I'll get back to them after I finish some more important bus related stuff; like completing the new features and stuff. The worst case scenario for the plushies is that I do them all last once the update is complete; which isn't that bad of an idea thinking about it.

The current terrible test build can be accessed with this link. Make sure you copy the entire link! https://vrchat.com/home/launch?worldId=wrld_e5eb4407-062b-4034-a1d4-87bca18c80ea&instanceId=PATRON~hidden(usr_8d3b6c9b-cd64-449a-8b39-a819057f5d3c)~region(us)~nonce(1c620f70-a63a-4f29-9492-7703c2d071d6)

Bus To Nowhere 1.5 Changelog:

• [Untested] Added two new personalized biome variants, Frozen Cavern and Party City.
• Black Cavern and Canyon have even more values that let you access them now, since they felt too rare with the values given to them.
• Added some more personalized biome names.
• Mysterious Platform text was removed. The platform is still there though for those who know where it is.
• Optimized the chair model a bit.
• Fixed the effects on the Cheeseburger.
• Have's Mysterious Brew drink now triggers the correct effect.
• The stairs on the Cliff Lookout make more sense, though it still does not make much sense.
• Added a new item to the Cliffside Lookout.
• [Untested] Added the button to toggle the Patron Plushies on and off. Surely this won't cause any problems in the future, haha, right?
• [Untested] The special nights now only happen after 100 miles, and are now a 1/20 chance.
• The Blue Moon is now called Mystic Moon
• He has a new form, brought on by the Blood Moon.
• She has a new form, brought on by the Mystic Moon.
• [Untested] Both Blood Moon and Mystic Moon received much more visual effects, with Mystic Moon having a sparkling sky and the blood moon covering the top of the bus in blood. They also both now have music that plays outside the bus. Overall, more visually interesting.
• Fixed some issues related to the Random Poster Bench after the Cliff Lookout was added.
• [Untested] A button to respawn most items was added. Unsure how stable it is; but that's for all you to find out! :D (There's a high chance it is going to respawn stuff while its still hidden, so uh, let me know if that happens with anything!) 
• Significantly increased the respawn time for objects, since I had to add respawning to most objects on the bus due to above. The time for respawning is around an hour; which hopefully should be acceptable given how long people usually are on the bus for.
• There are some items that still do not respawn, or are unaffected by the button above. These are as followed. 

                       - Patron Plushies - Most of them don't do anything, no reason to add them.

                       - Karol and Virus - These two are special cases.

                       - Burrowing Heavens / [O-04-72] - It automatically moves itself.

                       - Him - He is just too powerful to be moved by a measly button.

• Shockingly, I learned that the Gravity Coil and Speed Coil did not respawn. It took me around 5 months to realize this. They now properly respawn.
• Fixed a few radio songs.
• Added a low effort ceiling to the top of the map to prevent people from getting into the secret rooms. I mainly did this due to the virus ending being stored alongside the other rooms and you'd just be able to enter the room to trigger the end credits. 
• A new secret room was added, but not even I know of a way to trigger the teleport. I'm sure somebody will figure out a way though.

Known Bugs ( most of these will be fixed whenever I wake up ):

• The Blood Moon is actually a Party Moon. (I joke, but the Blood Moon isn't red, and the stars also do a weird color changing rainbow thing that make it look like a rave, honestly might turn this idea into its own special night event)
• I've personally noticed new FPS drops in the secret rooms; though others have said otherwise.
• The item that drops from killing a certain NPC is no longer visible, and acts VERY strangely. 
• The respawn button doesn't respawn the bench battery properly apparently. Some personalized items also act strangely when respawned, though they will likely just be removed from the respawn pool due to their nature.
• For some ungodly reason, DUP continuously thuds. This is not a joke, please do not kill Ancient Guardian at the moment for your own sanity.
• In testing, I learned that Ancient Guardians attacks are actually horribly synced between players, so there will likely be a rework to him at some point; or the puppet hand will be reverted to how it used to work.
• In testing, the new item appeared for apparently no reason after the Lemonade event.
• Apparently you don't trigger OnPlayerTriggerEnter when you sit in a chair, so sitting in the drivers seat does not count for driving, but standing in the area does.
• There's been reports of the Poster Bench crashing the bus script for some reason. I haven't had it happen to me yet, so I don't know much about it personally. Will look more into it once I wake up

And now, I slumber. Have a good day!
