Pre v0.1.0 Changelogs

Before v0.1.0, there were no changelogs. Updates were just written in the announcements channel of the Discord server. I have compiled all of the updates into this post with their dates. Dates are written in the format YYYY-MM-DD

2018-03-09

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug where unboxed items were not actually added to your inventory. This bug affected the users who received money before they received an item (e.g. used b!daily before b!unbox).

• Added the global killfeed channel in the BoxBot server.
• Added b!killfeed command that sends you a link to the killfeed channel in the BoxBot server.
• Added b!send command to send money to other users.
• You can now obtain boxes as items. You can either buy them for $1,000 or receive them by answering trivia questions with hard difficulty. Simply type b!use box to open a box.
• Added b!notify command – toggles cooldown notifications.

Changes

• Medium trivia questions now award $50.
• Hard trivia questions now award a box.
• Cooldown time for b!unbox reduced from 2 hours to 1 hour.

2018-03-19

New Features

• Added the uncommon box. Opening it guarantees at least an uncommon tier item. They can be purchased for $3,000.

Changes

• Most item prices have been adjusted.
• box renamed to common_box, and is now white instead of blue.
• Easy trivia questions now reward 1 common box.
• Medium trivia questions now reward 2 common boxes.
• Hard trivia questions now reward 1 uncommon box.
• Cutoff for string matching has been increased from 0.4 to 0.6. This basically means that item name autocorrection is stricter – hopefully preventing people from using items that they don’t mean to use.
  To be safe, you should always try to enter as much of the item name as possible. This feature was created only to correct typos and remove the need to use underscores; not to magically fill in the rest of the item name.

Bug Fixes

• Cooldown notifications fixed.
