• Added Await Message from Member to handle response messages.
  
• Added "[Starts/Ends] With" and "Length is [Equals/Less Than/Greater Than]" conditions to Check Variable.
  
• Added Message Content intent to Bot Intents extension.
  
• If any command is of type "Text Command", "Includes Word", "Regular Expression", or "Any Message" and the "Message Content" intent is not enabled, an error message will be printed in the bot log.*

* Note: as of September 1st, 2022, if your bot needs to read messages, Discord requires bots to have the "MESSAGE CONTENT INTENT" enabled. As a result, make sure the intent is checked in the Discord Developer Portal and Discord Bot Maker -> Extensions -> Bot Intents -> Message Content is checked. Since some commands (Text Commands, Includes Word, etc.) require the bot to read the content of messages, this may be required.

Otherwise, if you're using Slash Commands or Menu Commands, you have nothing to worry about!

Version 2.0 is now the main version of Discord Bot Maker! Check out all the new available features for Discord Bots in this new update!

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).

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.

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:

Discord Bot Maker 2.0 has been available as a beta for months; however, it will be replacing the main version of Discord Bot Maker one week from today! This new version provides a fresh, new user interface along with the ability to use modern Discord features like buttons and modals.

You can actually switch to it right now if you haven't already. Simply right-click on "Discord Bot Maker" in your Steam library, Go to PROPERTIES > BETAS > beta_v2.0. If you are working on a new bot in the older version of DBM, it's highly recommended you switch to the new version.

Please note that projects made using the old version of Discord Bot Maker (specifically v1.6), may not be compatible with v2.0 Please be sure to make a backup of the project folder before attempting to open in the new version of DBM. On the other hand, the v2.0 update will still allow you to choose to use the old version of Discord Bot Maker on start-up, so you will be able to maintain old bot projects, and select the new version to work on new projects.

A list of all the new features will be provided upon the release to the main version of Discord Bot Maker! Thank you for your patience!

A couple days ago, the 1.2.0 update for Discord Bot Maker was released!

Here are all the new features:

Any variable name input now includes a dropdown/autocomplete function allowing users to reference previously defined variables. A list of variables is now also accessable from the right-click menu!

The rest of the Discord API's events have been added! Events may now request users to input two variable names. Please enjoy!

The new List and Loops actions will allow users to create complex algorithms for bulk item manipulations. For example, one may create a loop that repeats the same event throughout the context of each server the bot is within. One may also repeat an event for each existing role/channel/member within a specific server. The possibilities are endless!

Find Server
Can find any of the servers the bot is within
Store Server Info
Takes information from a server and stores it within a variable

Check If Member has Role
Checks if a server member has a role
Check Member Permissions
Checks if a server member has a permission

Commands and events can now be called from other commands and events synchronously or asynchronously!

An invite link can now be created from a server channel.

Bots are now capable of editing their own messages!

Users may choose whether or not commands will be case-sensitive.

Users may now provide their own Regular Expression to be used for parsing parameters from commands.

Users can now provide an encryption key to be used to encrypt data.

Commands can now have a restriction placed on them requiring the user be the owner of the bot.

Developers now have the option to automatically restart the bot if the bot is turned on and the developer saves. This is very convenient for testing!

One may manually choose to update their project by clicking File -> Update Bot Project

While it has only been a couple days since the release of Discord Bot Maker, there has been tons of user feedback! With this feedback, many upgrades to the software have been added over the past couple days. However, just now, the largest update has been set live!

This update includes:

When creating a new project, one may now select from a pre-built template containing example Commands and Events for the user to explore! There are currently four templates, but over time more will be added when necessary!

In order to organize Commands, Events, or Actions, all you must do is drag them! Drag one on top of another to move it to the new position. It's that simple!

Data may now be directly stored into Variables using the new "Store Member Data" and "Store Server Data" actions!

Previously, the software would either give you the choice of "Saving" or "Not Saving" when leaving the program. It did not give the option to "Cancel" in case the user accidentally clicked the exit button. This has been resolved by adding a new exit prompt with all three options available!

Double clicking on an Action will now open the editing window for it.

If your project is out of date, the software will detect this and prompt you to update the project. If the user agrees to update, it will be done instantaneously!

You may now store a member's Game, Status, or Avatar URL!

You may now skip succeeding commands in Conditions as opposed to jumping to them directly.

Certain Conditions now allow for the use of Regular Expressions.

By right-clicking on any text input within the action window, one may select from a list of pre-built evals representing significant mentions or variables the user may wish to use!

Data for Commands or Events can be exported to plain text. This text can be used to import the corresponding feature into another project.

Thank you everyone for your patience!
Discord Bot Maker is finally released! Hope you all enjoy!

If you like it, I hope you will find time to give it a like; otherwise, I hope you'll let me know any critiques you have with it, and give me an oppurtunity to resolve them!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, before purchasing the application, here's a couple things you should know:

To start, the software does not have any documentation or tutorials released yet. This should not be too big of a deal, as much of the functionality within Discord Bot Maker is self-explanatory; however, some of the more advanced features take some explanation, so I hope you'll bear with me. I originally meant to have a decent "help" section and some tutorials out by the release, but time constraints got in my way. (;^_^)

Secondly, the Discord Bot Maker currently does not have any support for "voice channels". This is a planned feature for the future that unfortunately could not be added due to, once again, time constraints and other minor complications. It's only fair that I let you know about this as it is planned to be included as soon as possible!

Finally, for those that are early purchasers, you may encounter some bugs. I can't imagine anything huge, as I have spent considerable amounts of time testing the program. However, I am a one-man team, so it's only natural that I may have missed a couple things. If you do encounter any issues, please report them to the Discord Bot Maker server[discord.gg]!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once again, thank you all for your support, and I hope you all enjoy!

Hello, and thanks for checking out Discord Bot Maker!

Despite not having any intentional advertising, for better or worse, this program has already seemed to gain some tracktion. I'm glad to see some people are already taking interest!

Unfortunately, for most of this time, I have been just using a filler trailer and screen shots for the Steam page. However, just a couple hours ago, I posted a more "official" trailer and up-to-date screen shots onto the Steam page. Please be sure to enjoy them!

With all that out of the way, let's get straight into things. I'm sure there are a couple questions present in some peoples' minds, so let me try and answer them here:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What are the limits of Discord Bot Maker?

Discord Bot Maker runs using an action-based system. You are given a list of possible actions and can customize each one. While most of these are for direct Discord functions, there are many actions for logic, data, and variable control. These will allow for more advanced functionality such as giving levels to members or creating random minigames. There are infinite possibilities!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Will Discord Bot Maker contain functionality for image manipulation? Like drawing text on images or drawing profile pictures on images before posting them?

Yup! DBM contains a large number of image based actions that can be used for dynamic image construction!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Will Discord Bot Maker continue to be supported after its release?

Of course! Discord Bot Maker will be maintained in order to keep up with the ever growing platform of Discord itself. You can also expect to see updates containing new features or editor improvements based on user feedback!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What languages will Discord Bot Maker support?

At this current moment, English will be the only supported language. Of course, if the program becomes popular enough, support for more languages is expected.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Will Discord Bot Maker be able to create bots that can be hosted on servers?

Yes! Bots created through the program do not require the program itself to run. The projects will function as stand-alone NodeJS projects that can be run through whichever medium you desire!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How much will Discord Bot Maker cost?

$10

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How can you be contacted? Do you have a Discord server?

Yup! The Discord Bot Maker server can be found here:
https://discord.gg/ZubxqbW

The official email for Discord Bot Maker is:
dbotmaker@gmail.com

And the Twitter that may or may not be used is:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you for your time, and I hope you look forward to Discord Bot Maker!
