A month of problems, but we got there in the end
🕑 Added 2021-11-07 22:13:28 +0000 UTCSo this has not been the best month for either me or the bot, I've been fighting and am still fighting an ear infection that had its start all the way back in September, went more or less away but came back in force about 4 weeks ago. Doing tons better now even if it's still there.
This has had the effect of slowing down the development of the bot just as I felt like I was picking up speed in development. But nothing that can be done there I just have to pick up speed again.
The bigger problem in my mind is the latest big update (v.0.3.403), which has some really cool new stuff, but it also had some serious bugs. Yes, it's "just" alpha so problems are to be expected, but I'm not fine when I release a version that more or less breaks the bot for everyone, sure small obscure/specific errors for some people are "fine", but such a big bug, like in the latest big update is not fine in my book and I'm sorry, I can only blame my excitement to release a new update, especially when it had been so long since the last one.
But now that the bugs are hopefully fixed and I'm really happy with the update and hope you all are also, I really like the new UI elements and being able to offer a better way to queue triggers, while also being able to hide some options that I'm sure where more confusing than helpful for most people. Also excited now that an advanced settings button has started being added to modules and what that will bring in the future. I have plans for an advanced option for the randomizer which would "unlock" weight settings as an example.
So one of the big reasons for the big queue update was to build towards alerts where I could see a dedicated queue system being really important, but it also made me realize a few more things I want to add as I work towards alerts. The next thing is a counter module where you can set/add/remove from a counter as I see this being very useful for people who wanna count subs/bits/follows and so on, also death counters, it will get a similar system to queues where you will have a config window where you can set up, control and see counters.
That update should be out SoonTM.
