Baldi's Basics Plus/Revisional Differences

This is a sub-page of Baldi's Basics Plus.

Baldi's Basics Plus was released in an Early Access state, as developer Mystman12 felt it was in an at least "playable" state and he didn't want to keep fans waiting. Several updates to the game have been put out since its Early Access release, and several more are to come until it reaches version 1.0 and becomes a finished game.

All of the information was taken from the official devlog.

Version 0.1

This is the very first version of the game. It was initially released on June 12, 2020, with a lot of major differences alike the previous demos, and also contain a lot of bugs while being modified.

Version 0.1.1

“Baldi's Basics Plus version 0.1.1 has been released with some bug fixes! Here's what's changed:”

- Changelog June 13, 2020

• Fixed the game crashing when completing challenge maps.
• Custom seed values are now limited to int32 min and max values.

• The pause menu will now display the current seed to aid with bug reports.
• Fixed Baldi not moving in the farm field trip.
• Subtitles no longer prevent menu items from being clicked on.

• Fixed Cloudy Copter continuing to blow wind even if he leaves his location to go to a party.
• Elevators can now be exited from the inside when they are closed as a failsave if the player somehow accesses a closed elevator.

Version 0.1.5

“I just released one last minor update before version 0.2 releases in a few weeks! Here's what's changed:”

- Changelog August 15, 2020

• Whirlpools no longer pull you all the way down to the ground.
• Increased the speed at which teleporting whirlpools form.
• Reduced the number of whirlpools that spawn in the flood event.
• The tape player and pay phone now have a cooldown before they can be used again.

• Marked all shaders as opaque. All shaders are now cutout shaders.
• Stamina now recharges while inside lockers, while teleporting, and while getting sucked up by a whirlpool.
• Tweaked the NPC navigator to ensure the height value of destinations is always the same.
• Fixed a bug that would cause NPCs to get stuck when wandering into open areas with only one entrance/exit and with no wall-less tiles.
• Fixed a bug that would allow the player to retain the effects of the Faculty Nametag after it wore off if they died or quit with one and then used another before restarting the program.
• Fixed a bug that would cause players to be stuck in the wrong layer (Removing all collision) when quitting while "hidden" (In a locker, while teleporting, or while getting sucked up by a whirlpool), and then hiding again before restarting the program.
• Fixed a bug that allowed players to use tapes on tape players and quarters on payphones without the items being used up in explorer mode, allowing the items to be used infinitely.
• Fixed a bug which caused "8" to show up as a subtitle when the fog event started.
• Reworked the cameras a bit to remove conflicts when being assigned to multiple locations.
• Fixed a bug that allowed whirlpools to spawn in locations that they shouldn't, like inside the elevator.
• Fixed a bug that allowed whirlpools to send the player to locations where they could get stuck. This should no longer be possible.

Version 0.2

“Version 0.2 is finally out! Before checking out this changelog I recommend playing the game and discovering the new stuff for yourself. Here's most of the changes from 0.1.5:”

- Changelog September 12, 2020

• Added back 1st Prize from Baldi's Basics Classic.
• Added Johnny's Store, where you can spend You Thought Points on items.
• Added many new ways to earn You Thought Points, including:
  • Picking up regular notebooks (+10).
  • Finishing jump rope with Playtime (+25 if you do it perfectly, the reward drops by 5 each time you mess up).
  • Field trips (+100, +200, or +300 depending on performance).
  • Time bonus.
  • Grade bonus.
• Added lots of new artwork, mostly replacing graphics that were previously placeholders. Updated graphics include:
  • The Elevator screen.
  • The Elevator in-game. The doors and inside now have proper textures.
  • Gotta Sweep's closet. The door now uses a new "Supplies" texture, and the inside uses whatever textures the halls are using.
  • The Math Machine, although some pre-made maps still use the old graphics.
  • The Grappling Hook. The icon is the same, but the projectile uses a much nicer sprite, and cracks appear where it hits a surface.
  • The Staminometer.
• The elevator results screen now displays accurate values instead of placeholders (like the time being 99:99).
• Added a new event: Gravity Chaos.
• The grappling hook can now be used 5 times before it's used up.
• Baldi can no longer end the game if his ruler is broken.
• Made changes to the sprite shaders that should prevent automatic batching, which was causing sprites to turn dark when multiple of the same sprites were near each other.
• Fixed the script that handles multi-angled sprites (1st Prize, The Test). Viewing angles weren't quite right before.
• Reworked the script that NPCs use to "see" the player so that they consistently detect the player even if the player is moving quickly or is inside the NPC. This occasionally caused strange behavior.
• Improved vertical mouse movement with the in-game mouse.
• Fixed portal posters not rendering properly.
• Fixed Chalkles not rendering properly.
• Fixed the arrows not pointing in the direction the Principals are moving in in the Stealthy Challenge.
• Fixed some materials that were using old shaders that did not have fog or lighting effects.
• Fixed a bug that made it impossible to enter lockers while being pushed by an outside force.
• Corrected the color of Principal of the Thing's "I'm coming!" subtitle.
• Fixed a bug that caused NPCs in field trips to descend below the map.

Version 0.2.1

“Since I never uploaded a changelog for version 0.2.1, I'll also include that in this update.”

- Changelog September 19, 2020

• Made it so that 1st Prize can actually spawn.
• Temporarily disabled Johnny's subtitles.
• Fixed the store entrance icon not displaying correctly on some displays.

Version 0.2.2

“Baldi's Basics Plus version 0.2.2 is available now!”

- Changelog September 19, 2020

• Fixed endless mode using the old texture for Gotta Sweep's closet.
• Fixed NPCs' vision not being affected by fog properly.
• Fixed Principal of the Thing sending players to detention twice in a row for no reason.
• Fixed issues caused by changes made to the way billboarded sprites work that would occasionally cause sprites to flip upside down and do other weird things during the flood event.
• Fixed some visual issues with the credits.
• Fixed an issue that sometimes caused posters to not render properly, making them invisible.
• On OSX, fixed a bug that caused fog to always be white, even if it was supposed to be a different color.
• On OSX, fixed a shader oversight that resulted in sprites causing extreme slowdown (On some OSX systems).
• Fixed inaccurate textures on the roto-hall signs.
• Items purchased from the store will now go straight to your inventory, instead of the counter, if there's room. Items will only go to the counter once the inventory is full.
• When exiting the store, the confirmation dialogue will now only show if there are items on the counter.
• The text on the exit confirmation dialogue has been changed to make clearer the fact that items left on the counter will be lost.
• Shortened Johnny's voice line for when you mouse over the map fill item. He now simply says "This will fill out your map!"
• Safety Scissors can now be used to stun 1st Prize for 30 seconds. The effect is cumulative, so using multiple scissors on it will result in the stun lasting even longer.
• Updated the item description for Safety Scissors to offer clearer details on its use.

Version 0.3

“Version 0.3 has just released, the Speed Up-date!”

- Changelog November 21, 2020

• Increased the overall game speed and re-adjusted overall game balance.
• Added a save and continue feature.
• The Camping Field Trip has been completely revamped. This was done to make it faster and more fun.
  • An endless variant of this minigame can be played in Field Trips mode.
  • All old Field Trip high scores have been erased.
• Items are no longer lost when losing field trips.
• While using a controller, you can now press and hold the run button to increase the speed of the virtual cursor.
• Replaced the original ending of Baldi dabbing (which was meant as a placeholder) with something far more rewarding, although it's still considered a placeholder.
• Reworked how Baldi moves. His speed is now controlled completely independently from his slap rate. His speed as his anger increases is also now controlled by a curve, and each level has its own curve to allow for a more finetuned difficulty per-level.
• Baldi will now always reach the same speed once all notebooks are collected, no matter how many are collected before he spawns. The player still gets an advantage when notebooks are collected before he spawns, but once the last notebook is collected he will always be at the max speed for the level.
• Instead of spawning NPCs once the player walks a certain distance away from Baldi, Baldi will begin counting down from 10 once the player leaves the elevator area, and when Baldi finishes counting, all NPCs will spawn.
  • Furthermore, NPCs (With a few exceptions) can no longer spawn near the player. If an NPC tries spawning while the player is nearby, they will wait until the player wanders away before spawning.
• Made improvements to the level generator:
  • Added decorative objects.
  • Large rooms will now always have swinging doors placed on opposite sides if possible.
  • When generating extra hallways, sometimes they would stop at large rooms and not connect, creating very bad dead-ends. Now these will be forced to connect, reducing the chances of dead-ends generating in levels.
• When picking up items with a full inventory, the currently highlighted item will now be swapped with the item you picked up, instead of the highlighted item being destroyed.
• When solving a Math Machine, Baldi will now stop and give the player positive reinforcement. While he is stopped, collision with him will not cause you to lose a life.
• Math Machines use a new sound for correct answers.
• Changed a Kickstarter backer poster at their request.
• Vending machines will now run out of stock when used.
  • As of this update, vending machines in pre-made levels will not display signs when out of stock.
• Each level now always generates with a static number of notebooks, instead of a varying number. Level 1 always has 4, level 2 always has 7, and level 3 always has 9. The only exception to this is in rare cases where not enough class rooms generate to place all notebooks.
• 1st Prize's subtitles are now cyan.
• Reduced the price of the map on levels 1 and 2.
• Added Josh, Padre Snowmizzle, LiNX 4, Dave Microwaves Games, and JayskiBean to the credits as game testers.
• Fixed coin doors occasionally spawning in blocked off areas, potentially trapping players.
• Added many missing subtitles and fixed some typos.
• Fixed a bug that could cause extra halls to generate without being connected to anything, creating small areas completely blocked off from the rest of the map.
• Fixed a bug that caused objects next to a library to be silent.
• Fixed a bug that caused Mrs. Pomp, Beans, and 1st Prize to not stay in the Principal's Office during the party event.
• Fixed the water fountain blocking NPCs lines of sight.
• Fixed a bug that caused subtitles to behave weirdly when entering the library.

Version 0.3.1

“Baldi's Basics Plus version 0.3.1 is out now with a handful of bug fixes! Here's what's changed:”

- Changelog December 4, 2020

• Made it so lunch tables require more space to spawn in faculty locker rooms, preventing blocked off areas from being created.
• Mrs. Pomp's map timer now updates as soon as it appears to reflect the correct amount of time.
• Fixed a crash that could occur when buying a map on level 1 or 2, and then beating the level before losing a life.
• Playtime's music, conveyor belts, and the party music now all have subtitles.
• Added some missing subtitles.
• Certain NPCs besides Baldi will now ignore conveyor belts, as they were previously getting stuck on them.

Version 0.3.2

“Version 0.3.2 is out now, and it brings with it the new farm field trip! Here's the full changelog:”

- Changelog December 18, 2020

• The Farm Field Trip has been completely revamped to match the style of the Camping Field Trip.
• Adjusted the camping minigame difficulty to be slightly easier in-game. There is now one more three fire problem than before and one less four fire problem than before.
• Pressing and holding escape for one second while playing on the endless variant of a field trip will allow you to exit it at any given moment. There is no pause function during these minigames to prevent cheating.
• Reworked Arts and Crafters. The "attacking" animation is now completely different and less annoying. Now only the player will be teleported and Baldi will be unaffected.

Version 0.3.3

“Baldi's Basics Plus version 0.3.3 is finally ready, and will release this Friday, June 25. As I mentioned in the previous devlog discussing the game's development roadmap, this update is mostly revamped internal stuff, so while there isn't much in the way of new content, this update is very important in fixing up some bugs and making sure development moving forward goes smoothly. The normal development cycle will begin as soon as the game design document is finished, and I'll be sure to let everyone know when that happens!”

- Changelog June 23, 2021

• Updated Unity to 2020 LTS.
• New system for loading pre-made levels.

All pre-made maps have been converted to this new format, which fixes a slew of issues they previously had due to the old, poor loading system. The levels using the new system are:

• Endless medium
• Speedy Challenge
• Stealthy Challenge
• Grapple Challenge
• This new system also makes it easier for me to make levels by hand, something I'll start doing for many future challenge maps.
• All levels now use one single Unity scene.
• Old saves will be converted to the new format.
• Reworked Arts and Crafters teleportation again.
• All items now have large and small sprites. Small sprites (32x32) are used in UI elements, and large sprites (64x64) are used for the pickup sprites.
• Added ambient noises.
• Adjusted pause screen button positions so that quit isn't so easy to accidentally click on.
• Added the boots and apple items, and the fog event, to the possible things which can appear in randomly generated endless mode maps.
• Made some improvements to subtitles
• Text will now adjust in size in order to fit lengthier subtitles inside the box.
• Added subtitles to both field trips and Johnny's store.
• The maze in the farm field trip is now shuffled after every five rounds.
• Added a buffer to Math Machines that should prevent balloons from getting too close to the player.
• NPCs can now travel through portal posters.
• Notebook colors are now randomized.
• Many Baldi and Principal of the Thing lines have been re-recorded so that they all sound consistent.

With the new level loading system in placed, many bugs that existed in premade maps were fixed, including

• Math Machines using outdated textures and sounds
• Elevators using outdated textures and sounds
• Snack and soda machines not getting the "Out of goodness" sign when used up

Fixed a few bugs with subtitles

• Subtitles no longer appear when pausing the game.
• Subtitles will now be visible for sounds that started playing before subtitles were turned on.

Version 0.3.4

“Baldi's Basics Plus version 0.3.4 has just released! This update was mostly focused on fixing bugs introduced in 0.3.3, but it also contains a few other changes as well. Here's the full changelog:”

- Changelog July 2, 2021

Changes to Mrs. Pomp's Behavior:

• After telling the player to come to her class, she will now run back to her class room instead of walking back.
• The way she drags the player to her class has been overhauled.
• Instead of freezing the player in place when she pulls the player into her class room, she now shuts and locks all the doors.
• Once Mrs. Pomp finishes teaching, she will now reset after a few minutes, at which point she can invite the player to another class.
• Mrs. Pomp can now open any locked doors (Not swinging doors) that she comes into contact with.

Other Changes:

• Balloons now spawn in random positions in their designated rooms, instead of in the center.
• Fixed the missing closet door in the grapple challenge.
• Fixed Gotta Sweep not spawning in the closet in the grapple challenge.
• Fixed endless medium high scores being saved to the endless random leaderboards.
• Fixed the custom seed field not unlocking when beating the game.
• Fixed the missing tape player in the endless medium map.
• Fixed the incorrect subtitle colors for the many of the voice lines for Baldi and Principal.
• Fixed missing subtitles for a couple of the Principal's lines.
• Fixed being able to get scolded for breaking rules in the principal's office in the stealthy challenge.
• Fixed the alarm clock sprite not being affected by fog.
• Fixed the balloons being stuck in one corner of the room in the Hide & Seek ending.
• Fixed the detention time text being misaligned with the detention description text.
• Fixed a bug that caused the elevator doors in the grapple challenge to close even before the player left the elevator.

Version 0.3.5

"This update is pretty major for a minor one. A lot of that time was spent working on fixes and improvements to the Baldi's Basics Plus framework, benefitting both projects. Lots of polish, lots of optimizations, lots of internal changes that will make development smoother going forward.

Here is the changelog for most of the changes found in 0.3.5:"

- Changelog May 7th, 2022

• Added support for the Steamworks API. When played on Steam, the following features are enabled:
• Full Steam Input support.
• The game automatically pauses when the Steam overlay is opened.
• An achievement system has been implemented, but the game will not receive any achievements until the 1.0 update.
• A new file button appears if the game is being played on Steam Deck or in Big Picture mode. This will open an on-screen keyboard allowing you to enter your name with a controller.
• Clicking on the seed button to enable a custom seed will open an on-screen keyboard on Steam Deck or while the game is running in Steam Big Picture mode.
• Rumble support. If enabled, the controller will rumble when Baldi is nearby and when being caught by Baldi. If the controller being used has two individually controlled rumble motors, the side of the controller that corresponds with the direction Baldi is in relative to the player will rumble more than the other.
• Added a visual effect when getting caught by Baldi, similar to the one in Baldi's Basics Classic.
• Added a slam effect for when 1st Prize is stopped while traveling at high speeds. This sound will get Baldi's attention.
• Once all notebooks have been collected, Math Machines re-light for bonus questions! Answering bonus questions will reward the player with YTPs.
• Added screen transition effects. When moving between menus, a dithering transition is used.

Adjustments

• All menu screens now use the in-game cursor. The OS cursor of your computer is no longer used for anything in the game, except for the control mapper.
• All menu screens (And other UI based screens, such as the field trips) now render to a 480x360 render texture, which is then displayed on screen. This ensures all GUI elements remain pixel perfect.
• This screen uses a shader that can filter the pixels so that they appear square, even on non-integer scaled resolutions, with minimal blurring. This eliminates some strange effects where pixels may appear to be different sizes on some displays. This filter is optional, but it's recommended to leave it on for the best appearance.
• Created a brand new options menu that is compatible with the in-game mouse and features more settings. Changes/additions include:
• Divided settings into multiple pages.
• Settings now have tooltips with more info on what each setting is for.
• Added a rumble toggle.
• Added a reduce flashing toggle (Currently doesn't do much as Baldi's Basics Plus doesn't have much flashing at the moment).
• Added a vsync toggle.
• Added a pixel filtering toggle for the improved GUI rendering.
• Separate sensitivity settings for mouse and controller sensitivity, and for the in-game cursor and turning speeds.
• Added buttons to delete a file (The erase toggle on the name select screen has been removed), to reset endless mode high scores, and to reset field trip high scores.
• Replaced all sliders with segmented adjustment bar thingies (I don't know what they're called).
• Improved the design of the Rewired control mapper.
• I plan on eventually adding a fully custom control mapper that uses the in-game cursor and allows for control maps to be saved per-file, rather than being shared across all files. As it turns out though, creating a custom control mapper is complicated! For now, the one included with Rewired (Which is what Baldi's Basics uses to handle input) should be good enough.
• Added a button to access the Steam Input control mapper if Steam Input is active.
• Cleaned up the pause menu and added a quit confirmation screen.
• Updated most menu text to use text from the localization file.
• All tiles (The wall, floor, and ceiling cubes that levels are made out of) now use a single mesh, instead of a bunch of quads as before. These meshes are textured with texture atlases generated at runtime. The reduced mesh count, along with some other adjustments, has drastically reduced the number of draw calls per-frame (I'm talking dropping from a few thousand to a few hundred!) and improved performance quite a bit.
• This new tile setup required a new system for windows. Windows are now generated similarly to doors, with their own quad and game object, rather than simply being a transparent poster for a wall.
• Sprite billboarding is now handled via shaders instead of a script (With a few exceptions). This has also improved performance a little bit.
• Moved credits to the about screen. The game now closes after clicking the exit button without any further player input.
• Volume settings now use Unity's Audio Mixer system to control the volume of different types of sound effects.
• Some sounds now have custom volume multipliers. This is used to make several sounds that were too loud before quieter.
• Improved randomness of color glitching shader effects (Currently only used in the current end sequence, but will see more use later).
• Adjusted TextMeshPro assets so that the fonts are spaced better.
• Gameplay HUD elements will now scale such that they remain pixel-perfect no matter the resolution.
• Gave the stamina meter (Staminometer) a proper design.
• Created a custom dithering effect for shaders that isn't bad like Unity's built in one is. This new method seems to be compatible on everything, including Mac OS (Which the old one didn't play nice with), so now the same shader is used on all platforms and fog dithering is available on Mac OS.
• NPCs now exist in their own layer in order to improve collision. Mainly, NPCs should no longer get in the way of the player trying to click on objects.
• Posters with text now generate text at runtime, rather than having text baked into the texture. Poster text is now controlled by the currently loaded localization file. This change was made to make localizing the game into other languages easier.
• As a result of this change, some posters have had their designs tweaked.
• Game save data and most options are now stored in separate files. This is in order to prepare for Steam Cloud save support, which will be implemented at a later date. Some settings, such as resolution settings, will not be synced on the cloud since they will probably not be the same across different devices.
• Removed Baldi's Basics Classic Remastered exclusive code that was left in the previous version.
• Optimized the class NPCs use to "see" the player so that it no longer generates garbage.
• Made it possible for sounds to contain multiple subtitles. This is used to prevent longer audio clips from having too much text for one subtitle being displayed at once.
• Reworked how NPCs detect being looked at by the player. It is now much more consistent than it used to be.
• Reworked Arts and Crafter's behavior to be more manageable, and more similar to how it was in Baldi's Basics Classic. He will now run away if he sees the player for a short amount of time, whether the player is looking at him or not.
• What counts as looking at Arts and Crafters is now a bit more generous.
• Arts and Crafters is now hidden when he spawns so that he cannot be found in strange locations before being triggered to appear somewhere.
• WD-NoSquee has always worked such that, once used on a door, that door can be opened four times before the effect wears off, whether it is opened by the player or by an NPC. Now, NoSquee is only used up when the player opens the door, not when NPCs open it.
• Textures and sprites now have their contrast slightly increased as lights get darker.
• Mrs. Pomp now pauses the environment and NPCs when grabbing the player to tell them about her class.
• Mrs. Pomp now drags the player further into her class room before letting go and locking the doors.
• Reduced the possible time range for the Gravity Chaos event.
• Implemented a new detour system for NPCs when they target the player. During Gravity Chaos, this system is used to direct most NPCs to gravity flippers if their current orientation is opposite the player's. This prevents NPCs from annoyingly trying, but failing, to collide with the player over and over again during the event.
• Reworked The Test's speed increase method. It now will increase to a new pre-determined value each time the player looks away from The Test while in his sight. After a certain number of times doing this, The Test will instantly travel to the player's position when looked away from. Be careful!
• Level loading will now only begin when the elevator screen door is closed. With this change, you can no longer see the level begin to load when starting a new game or beating/losing a level.
• The name entry screen has been moved to the same scene as the main menu, allowing for a smoother transition between the two.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a minor error in Playtime's animation.
• Set sprite shaders to the Unlit Sprite material setting. This has fixed some odd issues with certain sprites.
• Fixed the game loading incorrect window and resolution settings on startup.
• Fixed issues with the skybox rendering weird from certain angles.
• Fixed skyboxes being blurry on Linux.
• Fog now properly renders on the skybox.
• Fixed a bug that caused deleted files to not actually be deleted (They would only be removed from the in-game list of names, but the actual file would remain).
• Fixed a lighting calculation issue.
• Fixed flipping upside down not also flipping audio and subtitles.
• Fixed an issue where the dangerous teleporter and whirlpools could spawn the player in game breaking positions.
• Fixed an issue where Arts and Crafters would try to run from the player while chasing them or trying to teleport them.
• Fixed an issue where Arts and Crafters could collide with the player during Gravity Chaos while oriented opposite the player.
• Fixed a bug that would softlock the game if Mrs. Pomp caught the player to tell them to be at her class while in her class room.

Version 0.3.6

"Baldi's Basics Plus version 0.3.6 has just released, and with it comes a lot of bug fixes! Thanks to everyone who reported bugs, that was a huge help.

Here's the full changelog, as well as some known issues I haven't taken the time to fix yet. You don't have to worry about reporting those!:"

- Changelog May 13, 2022

Adjustments

• Renamed "subtitles" to "captions".
• The player can now move around a little bit while being hugged by 1st Prize.
• When being pushed by 1st Prize or Gotta Sweep, the player will automatically open any doors they collide with.

• Placed the Hide-and-Seek button in a more prominent spot to make it clearer that it's the main mode.
• If a file's resolution is manually set by modifying the config file, that resolution will be added to the list of available resolutions in the options screen until the setting is changed and the game is closed.
• Camera no longer renders while pause screens and field trips are open. This should allow for smoother performance on low end hardware while on these screens.

Known Issues

• Arts and Crafter's clones during the teleport animation don't always match his orientation during Gravity Chaos.
• Holding the quick map open when opening the advanced map causes a bit of visual weirdness.
• Pressing opposite directional buttons to move the quick map can cause it to move at slow speeds.

Version 0.3.7

"Baldi's Basics Plus version 0.3.7 has just released! It's a small patch to address some issues many players were reporting with the in-game cursor movement being treated as a joystick input. While there were ways to fix it when it happened, this patch will hopefully prevent it from happening anymore. Note, that due to the changes made, this update will reset your current control maps!

Here's the full changelog:"

- Changelog May 21, 2022

Adjustments

• Made menu controls visible in the Rewired control mapper. You can now change controls for mouse cursor movement, clicking, map zoom, etc.
• Adjusted default control map settings. By default, the arrow keys can be used to control the in-game cursor, and enter to click.
• Holding the control key when the Basically Games logo disappears will reset the controls to the defaults.
• If the game detects a bad mouse mapping, it will reset the mouse control map to the defaults (A bad mouse map would be assigning mouse movement to a few Joystick inputs or removing the cursor maps, among other things). This is to prevent a scenario where the in-game cursor becomes impossible to move.
• The "check for updates" button on the main menu now leads to the game's Steam news page.

Bugfixes

• Fixed several issues with the way Rewired was setup. This will hopefully prevent the weirdness that was occurring in 0.3.6 (If not, the bad mouse map detection should act as a failsafe).
• Fixed glitched invert axis icons.

Version 0.3.8

"Baldi's Basics Plus version 0.3.8 is now available! This version has more improvements and adjustments that I made since 0.3.7. This update is pretty significant because it is the final 0.3 minor update (Assuming no major issues show up)! The next update should be version 0.4.

Once I release version 0.4, I will start releasing new major updates approximately every two months. As I work on the game, I'll basically just include whatever features are ready to go when it's time to release each major update, with minor updates mostly being for bug fixes and very minor adjustments.

With all that said though, here's the changelog for 0.3.8!"

- Changelog November 4, 2022

Additions

• Added new sounds for:
• Doors locking and unlocking
• Trying to open a locked door
• Using a water fountain
• Inserting a coin into a vending machine or coin door
• Buttons
• Created a new texture for buttons.
• Added the ability for certain parts of textures to glow in the dark. This has been applied to buttons, vending machines, and math machines.
• After starting the game, if you press and hold "alt" until the Basically Games logo disappears, all your settings (Except for controls) will be reset. This is useful if you've messed up your settings and somehow are unable to change them back.

Adjustments

• Downgraded It's a Bully's audio clips to match the rest of the game's audio.
• Principal's keys no longer instantly open a door when used. Instead, you will now hear a sound signifying the door has been unlocked. Then the door can be opened freely.
• Made it so you can now look backwards while jumping rope.
• You can now move a little bit during a jump while playing jump rope! Now when you get caught by Playtime in a bad spot, you might still be able to get where you need just in time!
• Alarm clocks can now be set to go off after 15, 30, 45, or 60 seconds. Once dropped, just click on it to change it! It will be set to 30 seconds by default.
• Arts and Crafters' teleportation destination is now determined the moment you are teleported, rather than the moment the attack starts. The behavior now works a bit more like you'd expect as you won't get teleported to exits you close after the attack sequence starts.
• The game will no longer load at a resolution smaller than 480x360. The options menu will no longer show options smaller than 480x360. If the config file is manually changed to a resolution lower than 480x360, the resolution will reset to the default setting.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where the player would get sent out of bounds if they were teleported while being pushed by First Prize.
• Fixed issues with color glitch shaders (As seen in the ending sequence) flickering.
• Fixed blurry skyboxes in the Linux version.
• Fixed an issue that caused the lighting of certain objects to change depending on how close you are to them.
• Restored whirlpool audio, which was missing in some of the previous versions.
• Fixed door audio coming from a location next to the door, not on the door itself.
• Fixed an incorrect caption for one of Baldi's voice clips.
• Fixed a bug that would cause the player to interact with an object they were facing when clicking the "resume" button on the pause menu.
• Fixed a bug that caused 1st Prize to make a slam noise when cutting his wires while moving at a high speed.
• Fixed WD-NoSquee uses being used up when clicking on a door that is locked or open.
• Fixed cafeteria ambience not being assigned to the sound effects audio channel, meaning it wasn't affected by any audio settings.
• Fixed a bug that caused players to become vulnerable when teleporting out of a locker
• Fixed a bug in the Grapple Challenge that allowed players with a full inventory to replace items with their grappling hook and have the item they picked up get immediately replaced with another grappling hook.
• Fixed a room in the Stealthy Challenge that was walled off.
• Fixed the way the game detects what the default resolution should be. It will now use your primary monitor's current resolution (As set in system settings, not its native resolution).
