Building the Client

The first step in building a distributable Toontown Infinite client is building GameData.bin. GameData.bin is an encrypted blob of frozen Python code. It contains all of the code necessary to run the game. There are three steps to building this file:

Prepare for building
Build the frozen Python module
Encrypt the frozen Python module

This document outlines how to accomplish the second task.

After preparing the client using the prepare_client.py utility, you're all set to build! Simply use the build_client.py utility through the Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt. This will create a frozen Python module named GameData.pyd.

Usage

usage: build_client.py [-h] [--panda3d-dir PANDA3D_DIR]
                       [--build-dir BUILD_DIR] [--main-module MAIN_MODULE]
                       [modules [modules ...]]

positional arguments:
  modules               The Toontown Infinite modules to be included in the
                        build.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --panda3d-dir PANDA3D_DIR
                        The path to the Panda3D build to use for this
                        distribution.
  --build-dir BUILD_DIR
                        The directory of which the build was prepared.
  --main-module MAIN_MODULE
                        The path to the instantiation module.

Example

ppython -m build_client --panda3d-dir C:/Panda3D-1.9.0 --build-dir build
                        --main-module toontown.toonbase.ToontownStartDist
                        otp toontown
