IMPORTANT!
Before anything, please note that existing projects created in Discord Bot Maker v1.6 and below may not work in v2.0. It is HIGHLY recommended you create a new project when switching to v2.0. You can still maintain old projects by selecting to use "Old/Legacy 1.6" on start-up in Steam. If your project does not use any third-party mods, it may be compatible with v2.0, but be sure to make a back-up of the project folder before attempting to update!!
NOTE: If you would like to permanently stay on the old version of Discord Bot Maker, you can select it from the BETAS menu (RIght-click DBM > Properties... > BETAS > old_version_v1.6).
"DBM WON'T OPEN"
Due to some issues with how Steam handles different launch options, you may have some trouble opening Discord Bot Maker before the update. If you're having issues, try uninstalling and reinstalling Discord Bot Maker to force Steam to update itself.
V2.0 CHANGES
There are A LOT of changes. More than I could possibly list here. So just the major changes will be listed, but please note there may be minor bug fixes and changes that were also made that are not listed below:
Editor
- The design and style of the editor has been enhanced!
- There is now a tab system and better modal system that can even be used in third-party mods!
- The software now runs on Electron.
- The editor will now inform users if their actions are out of date and provide a prompt to update them.
Folders
- Commands and Events can now be organized using folders.
- The folder text can be configured by color, italics, bold, underline, and strikethrough.
- A Semantic UI icon can also be used. Please visit this page for a list of options (https://semantic-ui.com/elements/icon.html)
New Command Types
- Slash Command is now the new default. It creates a command that can be accessed using a foward slash (/) in text chat on Discord.
- User Menu Command creates a command that can be activated by right-clicking on a user and choosing it from the menu.
- Msg. Menu Command creates a command that can be activated by right-clicking on a message and choosing it from the menu.
- Sub commands can also be created. Simply choose Slash Command and put spaces in the command's name. Discord Bot Maker will then automatically generate the command and sub-commands required for the command name to work as it appears in the editor.
Partials
- This is a new system of restrictions added for Discord Bots. Your partials can be configured using the Bot Partials extension (Extensions > Bot Partials). Configuring your partials is now necessary for bots to be able to send DMs.
