Welcome To Discord Bot API v9

This release implements the long awaited support for Discord threads, text-chat in voice channels, and other improvements related to v9 of the Discord Bot API, though discord.py v2.0 . This upgrade also paves the way for application commmands, modals and future interaction-based bot features. In addition, discord.ext.commands is now the main command framework used by the project.

A new dependency, snakecore, now acts as the main utility framework for the project's codebase.

Unless stated otherwise in the future, this will be the last minor release of the PygameCommunityBot project. PygameCommunityBot Generation 2.0, a complete rewrite, is currently being planned, see more here.

New user command: pg!fontify

Commits b299750 and 22634c3 by @ankith26, #250 by @bydariogamer and #254 by @Belvix

Mega-JC added a font based on the iconic pygame logo, and everyone uses it to send messages! And we can't blame them, the font is super neat! But to make it easier to send these messages we added pg!fontify. With this handy command you can easily send a message with the font! If you ever wanna delete your message, just use pg!fontify remove.

New user commands: pg!stream

#217 by @bydariogamer and @ankith26

People stream on the server! Sometimes. And when they do it is a lot of fun! So if you don't want to miss it then you can use the pg!stream commands to subscribe to streams. And then whenever someone is live they will ping you to notify you of the stream!

New feature: Group commands

#221 by @ankith26

PygameBot just got support for group commands! Yea that's right, no more underscores in most of the command names. This feature helps in grouping commands that are similar under one group, to keep stuff neat and organised!

New admin commands: pg!pin and pg!unpin

#233 by @Mega-JC

Pinning messages trough the discord GUI? Boring. Pinning messages trough bot commands? Cool! Admins now can pin/unpin messages easily, even if there are a lot of them!

New admin commands: pg!db commands

Commit 06ff0ac by @ankith26

The DB has been getting quite a few improvements and optimisations, and now pd!db commands are implemented for admins to have more flexibility in managing the DB.

Improved Stuff

Improved pg!exec command, gif support

#213, #244 by @zoldalma999 and Commit cb20c16 by @Mega-JC

You can now create gifs using our bot! Yep, you heard me right! With pg!exec use the output.add_frame function to add a frame to the gif! We also wrote up a small tutorial for it that you can find on the discord server changelog. We prettified the output embed and also added pygame.Sprite and pygame.time to the list of modules you can use!

Emotion system upgrades

#214 by @ankith26, #239, #241, #251 by @SSS-Says-Snek

Yes! We already knew that our beloved snek bot had emotions! And our snek continues to get better with emotions! Snek bot now has 4-factor emotions, based on anger, boredom, happiness, and confusion! Use the beta version of pg!vibecheck to check the emotions!

Improved pg!remind command

#216 by @SSS-Says-Snek

pg!remind command now got support for taking input in the units of months! Yea, you can set long term reminders with the bot too!

Improved emsudo commands

#208, #211, #218, #220, #223, #224, #225, #238, #240, #248, #252 by @Mega-JC

Emsudo commands had another round of polishing and upgrading! It has been ported to the new parsing system, they now accept multiple arguments to create batches of embeds/messages and json files can now be used to send embeds as well! There are a lot more changes though, it is hard to sum all of them up into a short paragraph.

Bug fixes, code cleanups, polish stuff

Support for python 3.7 and 3.8

Commit 21088b5 by @ankith26

The bot source got support for python versions 3.7 and 3.8, because these versions are quite widely used too.

Added generic mode to allow the bot to be run on other servers easily

#242 by @ankith26

The "generic mode" is a way to get the bot running on other servers, if you wanted to test things out! The generic mode disables server specific stuff so that the bot can easily run on other servers, but some of its features are limited.

Limit admin commands to the author's role level

#248 by @Mega-JC

Commands like pg!archive now checks the perms of the users running it, so that users do not try to archive messages of channels that they are not supposed to see.

Disable some commands in dms

Commit 7961862 by @ankith26

Did you know that you can run some commands in dms? Well we kinda forgot about it so there were a few bugs related to it. A few commands have been disabled from dms so that you cannot create a poll thats with just PygameBot and you.

In all we had 208 commits, with 5,276 additions and 4,085 deletions over 18 files. There are a lot more small changes and bug fixes that you can check out here.

So that's all the new stuff we have! This would not have happened without our contributors:

@ankith26 @Mega-JC @SSS-Says-Snek @zoldalma999 @bydariogamer @Belvix

Thanks for reading this patch note, take care!

Yayy another Bot Update!

PygameCommunityBot has gotten another shiny, shiny update! This time, we have bumped a patch version, from 1.5.0 to 1.5.1. That does not mean that this is a small release, it is packed with all the juicy stuff and wizard spells you would expect, coming from our Union of Wizards and Mages.

What's New

We have many things to show you!

New user command: pg!resources

#184 and #196 by @SSS-Says-Snek

Wanna browse through good learning resources? We have a lot of them on our server! Now, thanks to the pg!resources bot command, you can easily browse through them, filter by topics you are interested in and also filter resources based on the authors! Easy way for a beginner to get started on their python/pygame/gamedev journey!

New user command: pg!rules

Commit 21fcef1 by @ankith26

You can now check out the rules of our server with the pg!rules command. Use it list out one or more rules, also useful for pointing others to our rules. But the prophecy of the ancient Wisdom Book of Mages points out that this command can be used to unlock the top secret unwritten rule of the PygameCommunityServer! Are you ready to be entrusted with this knowledge? Is this prophecy true? There is only one way to find out!

New feature: Emotion system

#207 by @SSS-Says-Snek

Did you hear that? Our beloved snek now has emotions of its own! Be careful not to make our snake angry, and don't let it get bored. The new emotion system is not yet complete though, so expect more updates coming to it!

New feature: Dad jokes and dead chat

commit 7a14c03 and 8df6e44 by @ankith26

Ever feel bored? Want to hear some jokes? Our beloved snek just learnt to make jokes! Dad jokes, to be precise. I mean come on, who does not like a perfectly timed dad joke coming off randomly at your message on discord? This ought to keep the chat alive. Speaking of alive chats, have you ever heard of "dead chat"? Snek bot does not like "dead chat", and is gonna remind you to not say "dead chat", quoting the wise words of a wise man!

New admin command: pg!info

#176 and #180 by @Mega-JC

As discord moderators, we always need to be on the watch for people doing anything wrong. With the help of this pg!info command (initially implemented as pg!member_info and pg!sudo_stats and later merged into one command), we can get info related to any message or any member in our discord server.

New admin commands: pg!whitelist_cmd and pg!blacklist_cmd

#185 by @ankith26

A utility to blacklist/whitelist commands of the bot was added, so that any commands can be stopped from running while we are still working on it

Improved Stuff

Improved pg!archive command

#183, #188, #197 and #198 by @Mega-JC

Want to keep archives of messages? We have a(n admin) command for that, and that is pg!archive! This command just got a whole lot better, with more customizations on the archives, neater looking archive output and fine grained control with more keyword arguments.

Reminders updates

Commit d9b3d6c by @ankith26 and #192 by @SSS-Says-Snek

Reminders have been revamped to be more reliable, and offer long term reminders now! The API for the reminder functions have been modified to make it better, offering a string input and keyword arguments input, so that you could enter the time duration argument more easily, and also, the ability to view and unset your old reminders have been added now! This was made possible due to improvements in the way the bot stores data in a DB-like system.

pd!stop updates

Commit 1ce1c34 by @ankith26

pd!stop now works better, allowing to stop other tester's running bot.

Bug fixes, code cleanups, polish stuff

A lot of stuff have been polished, code has been cleaned off dusty old cobwebs and made it easier to work with.

Black

#195 by @zoldalma999

For the sake of consistent code formatting, @zoldalma999 got the idea of using black, and we could not disagree. I mean everybody loves clean code, right? @SSS-Says-Snek has also done a lot of work in making our codebase shinier, putting many PEP8 fixer PRs that it is hard to list them here. But code cleaning is quite boring, thankfully it will be automated from now.

Embed stuff

#174 and #175 by @Mega-JC

Embed stuff had a few rounds of bug fixing and polish

Poll fixes

#186 by @zoldalma999

A few bugs in close_poll were fixed, and the resources command was improved a bit

There were more bug fixes, but I got bored of listing them, and you might get bored reading them too. Hopefully the interesting ones have already been covered, but if you want to see the detailed comparison between the old version and this one, click here. In all, we had 98 commits.

Contributors this release: @ankith26 @Mega-JC @zoldalma999 @SSS-Says-Snek

Bot update!

PygameBot's version have been bumped from v1.4 to v1.5. So what's new? We have quite a bit of stuff to show!

Shiny new stuff

Some new commands, bit of new functionality and maybe the leftover magic dust.

New Commands: pg!poll and pg!close_poll

PR #181 by @zoldalma999

Want to decide who is right? Or which is the best programming language? Maybe which apple is better? You can now do that with pg!poll! pg!poll lets you start a reaction-based poll to so that you can let everyone decide! You can stop it anytime with pg!close_poll!

New Command: pg!remind

commit ec03bc3 by @ankith26

Do you forget when to bump? We have an answer for that as well! pg!remind lets you set a reminder so that you can beat everyone else at bumping the server.

A lot of new emsudo commands

A lot of PRs and commits. Cant list every one of them, all of it is done by @Mega-JC

Embeds on discord look very neat, don't you think! We just love posting them! This is possible due to the new commands that allow us to make, edit, copy and even delete these prettier looking embeds with an easier, better, and more featureful syntax! Expect more of these because we love the way they look!

Paging system

PR #150 by @zoldalma999

The help embed was starting to become crowded. So we split it up and added the ability to go between pages, just like a book! To see how they look like try pg!help!

Improvements

Changes that make existing things better or easier to use.

pg!exec now accepts files

commit 12e54d4 by @ankith26

Executing python programs with our beloved bot was never so easy! You can now attach a text or python file and see the results like it was inside a code block! So you can now write your pg!exec code in your favourite editor and just drag-and-drop the file in!

Commands that require a msg_id as their first argument now can be set by responding to a message

commit 7a3d96a by @ankith26

To make it easier to use commands like pg!refresh or pg!close_poll you can now respond to a message and it will be automagically set the message_id as the first argument so that you don't have to worry about them anymore.

Revamped clock command

PR #171 by @ankith26

Everyone who has the honour to be on the pg!clock can now edit their time zones or remove themselves entirely. Admins and mods can also add other people freely. Even better, if you have a time zone that is not yet occupied on the clock you can be the one setting the color!

Revamped parsing system

PR #168, #173 by @ankith26

We have rewritten our parsing system to be better, cleaner and more functional! Every argument has a type so it will be easier to write and handle commands. Some of them even support keyword arguments!
That is all that we can provide, for now anyway. Contributors this release: @ankith26 @Mega-JC @zoldalma999 Thanks for reading and happy hacking!
