V0.5 (Plus)

Version 0.5 is the twenty-first regular update and fourth major update of Baldi's Basics Plus. Released on May 6, 2024, it features a new item and big changes to item and You Thought Points balance.
This update also adds a few more posters and new room variants as well.
== Documented changes ==
=== Additions ===
* Added 'Nana Peels.
** Dropped 'Nana Peels can spawn in cafeterias.
** Banana Trees can rarely spawn in playgrounds. These are surrounded by dropped 'Nana Peels.
* Added plus icons.
* Several new posters were added.
* A new type of poster, bulletin boards, was added. These only appear in faculty rooms.
* Added a few different variants for the cafeteria, playground and library.
=== Changes ===
* Reworked the way items are distributed into levels by creating a loot table system.
** Now, each level generates a list of items that should be found in it based on a set of parameters. These items are then placed throughout the level such that more valuable items favor harder to reach areas. Previously, items were generated by rooms individually, which meant it was almost impossible to control item balance per-level without changing the number of rooms that generated in a level.
* Reworked the elevator results screen to show the Power Bonus and other values in a more sensical order.
** The "Total YTPs" value on the screen now shows the You Thought Points earned in that level times the Power Bonus instead of the total You Thought Points the player has at the moment.
* Many balance changes regarding items found in levels and YTP item prices in Johnny's Store.
* Slightly reduced the volume of Beans' voicelines.
* Big rooms in floor 3 no longer have to be at the edge of the level.
* Dr. Reflex is no longer guaranteed to appear in every second and third floors.
* When telling the player to come to her class, Mrs. Pomp now will choose a classroom very far from them. There is a very low chance the classroom Mrs. Pomp chooses is the one right next to them.
* Getting sent to detention or teleported by Arts and Crafters now resets Baldi's sound queue. He will now always head directly to the alerted position unless distracted by another source after the player is teleported.
=== Bug Fixes ===
* Fixed a bug that could cause some audio clips to be ignored when pausing/unpausing the game (E.g. pausing while Dr. Reflex was saying "Try again!" would sometimes result in him ending the line early and starting another test).
* Fixed a bug that allowed posters to generate behind the water fountain in the cafeteria.
* Fixed some Beans' audio clips that were miscategorized and didn't properly reflect audio settings.
* Fixed various unintentional typos.
* Fixed the Math Machine rewarding double the intended amount of YTPs when correctly solving it.
* Fixed the Portal Poster being usable on one-way walls and not doing anything.
* Fixed a bug that would cause some positional audio captions to appear as non-positional captions (E.g. the conveyor belt caption in the endless medium map).
* Fixed an oversight where Principal of the Thing would shut and lock all doors when entering/leaving his office. Now, all doors will be shut/locked only when first teleporting into detention. When Principal enters/leaves through a door, only that door will be affected.
* Fixed an oversight that allowed Mrs. Pomp to have her class in a room she or the player is already in when first talking to the player.
* Fixed the flood water object not being big enough to entirely cover large levels.
* Fixed bus rendering issues.
* Fixed being able to look backwards while in a locker.
* Fixed doors staying open indefinitely when being forced shut during a flood.
* Fixed a bug that caused some entity/NPC movement to be somewhat inconsistent with other game elements when pausing/unpausing. This allowed for exploits in certain situations, such as being able to pause the game while being pushed by 1st Prize to escape being pushed.
* Fixed stamina dropping when run is held but the player is moving slower than their walking speed.
=== Pre-release Changelog ===
* Fixed a level generator crash that would occur when there were not enough item spawn points in a level to place all the items in the loot table.
* Fixed the endless random map frequently crashing.
* Added 'Nana Peel to Johnny's Store.
== Undocumented changes ==
* Some faculty rooms or classrooms may generate without items in them as a result of the new item generation mechanics."Since item spawns are no longer linked to the number of rooms in a level, there are occasions where there won't be enough items to place one in every room or, if there are, randomness may still leave some rooms empty while there may be others with multiple items. The level generator is designed to favor an even distribution, but there is still some intentional allowed randomness that means this isn't guaranteed in order to keep things from being too predictable." - Baldi's Basics Plus Steam Community Hub
* The ending was slightly changed; now on the fake error screen instead of saying "", it says "".
* Running in the opposite direction of Cloudy Copter's wind or conveyor belts will not drop the player's stamina. Dropping the stamina was supposed to happen while running into a wall and barely moving."The intended behavior is that you don't lose stamina if you're running into a wall and barely moving, however I forgot to account for when the player is walking against an outside force. Enjoy the free stamina while it lasts!" - Baldi's Basics Plus Steam Community Hub
* Principal Whistle can now be found in classrooms, with a rare chance.
* The "" poster is now implemented.
== Trivia ==
* This is the first Baldi's Basics Plus update to add a new item.
