Requirements to Open the Project

Unity Version

• Unity 6000.0.36f1 LTS

Notes

• When opening the project, Unity might ask if you want to use the new input system. Press NO.
• The Penguin data gets stored here in the Windows Registry:
  • Built .exe client: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\OpenCPI\CP Island
  • Unity Editor: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Unity\UnityEditor\OpenCPI\CP Island
• To launch the game in the Unity editor:
  • Open Assets/Game/Core/Scenes/Boot.unity
  • Hit the Play button.

Future Unity Engine Versions Notes

• Bake lightmaps in Unity 2022 ONLY because of Enlighten. This keeps them closer to the original.
• Lightmaps in Unity 2023+ (with Progressive CPU/GPU) look weird—too bright or noisy.
• The Unity 6 branch is good for regular gameplay. Pre-rendered lightmaps in the EventLightmaps folder work fine in Unity 6.
• DO NOT update to Unity 7 or newer. They drop legacy input system support, and we'd have to recode everything.

New and fixed features within the game

• What's new:

  • Discord RPC support. Here is an example of the Discord RPC:

    

  • Added the unreleased igloo furniture grand father clock from version 1.6.1

  • Added 3 custom party hat recolors (Halloween Party Hat, Holiday Party Hat, and Anniversary 19 Party Hat)

  • Added 4 custom duck tube recolors (Blue, Green, Pink, and Purple)

  • Refined the lightmap baking process

  • The Classic Arcade machine has been moved from near Franky's Pizza in Island Central to the sewer in Island Central

  • Added and optimized support for native macOS Arm Silicon (Apple M1, M2, M3, M4, and newer chips)

  • Changed the Waddle On login coins award from 1000000 to 0

  • Added 2 new lighting options to the igloos. Those are Holiday and Rainbow Migration. The Holiday lighting can be unlocked at Penguin level 20 and the Rainbow Migration lighting can be unlocked at Penguin level 27

  • Added an optional skybox in the project to allow a day/night cycle that will cycle every 15 minutes

  • Added 32 new Penguin colors

• What has been fixed:

  • The spawn points have been moved so you will no longer spawn into the void and endlessly fall randomly like in the original
  • The shoulder pack blueprint will correctly work now
  • The modern coffee table and kitchen island igloo furnitures can now be obtained instead of having it give you the teleporter igloo furniture
  • Fixed missing scripts from the Mt. Blizzard Halloween 2018 decorations (this was causing errors in the original client)
  • Fixed the Halloween 2018 Pumpkins flicker speed to match how they wanted it in the original (the editor and built client shows 2 different results. So the built client would make it too fast)
  • Added missing colliders to certain world and quest objects
  • Performance improvements
  • Added the missing Summer Splashdown chat phases and Rookie sound effects to the Regular sewer in Island Central
  • Fixed original errors within the Unlit Dynamic Object No FOG and Igloo CubeMap shaders
  • Fixed the Disney Store banners and for sale items, they originally stopped working on: January 1, 2020. Now they will stop working on: December 31, 4065
  • Fixed the coins and collectibles that would spawn once a day (this broke when the servers went offline). They will now spawn once every 24 hours
  • Fixed the microphone and guitar interactables collision in Island Central. The collisions were swapped in the original
