v0.12.0

This is the first really stable version

The cards system

One of the biggest points was that the cards system is currently hacky, slow and hard to understand. The following has been changed:

• k!cardinfo <card_id> gives you infos about a card you own
• k!use has been rewritten entirely to be more reliable, clean and giving better error messages.
  1. if you provide wrong arguments for a card it will now exactly tell you what you need to provide for that specific card
  2. reused code has been optimised
  3. instead of having a lot of elif statements, each spell card is a subclass of the Card class and gets called when needed
  4. The defence UI has been improved
• The book has been optimised to be as fast as possible by
  1. caching all cards on startup
  2. also caching the background
  3. having the card background be transparent
  4. improved positions of the cards
• Having a full book now grants a badge and the card 0, those will be removed in case any of the 100 cards is removed
• The User class is now being cached to minimise requests to the database
• remove_card and add_card have been rewritten to in the User class to work not just hopefully
• added k!check <card_id> which gives you additional info about how many copies you own of this card that are fake and where
• Improved logic for discard by it first checking for fakes in the free slots to discard and then discards the first match

The todo system

• the system has been tested and the bugs found were fixed
• The TodoList class is now also being cached to minimise db requests
• more appropriate errors have been added for commands like todo invite
• most things not requiring text input have been rewritten to buttons

Shops

Shops have been redesigned. With the addition of LootBoxes it became necessary to differentiate shops clearer. Now the shop as well as the buy command requires an argument about what type of item is wanted.
shop <cards/lootboxes/todo
buy <card/todo/lootbox>
If no argument was provide for shop a UI pops up which allows the user to select what shop to go to

The help command

• fixed that command groups were not shown before
• the main menu uses fields instead of description now
• it is now possible to return to the help command in a group menu by clicking on the "Menu" button

Premium

• a dynamic check was implemented automatically updating patreons every 2 minutes by fetching the pattern api
• Premium users can now add premium guilds. How many is determined by the premium rank
• premium users can use weekly to gain a weekly lootbox

lootboxes

• lootboxes can be bought in the lootbox shop and are also earned every 5th time someone votes for Killua or with k!weekly by premium users
• you can open a lootbox with k!open
• opening lootboxes allows you to choose fields from a 5x5 square which can contain rewards. To save rewards you can click "Save rewards" because when you click on a button with a bomb behind it, all rewards are lost!
• you can get chances of lootboxes and info about them with k!boxinfo <box_id>

Games

• games now have their own category and file
• two more games were added
  1. k!count a counting where where you need to remember numbers in the right order
  2. k!trivia gives random trivia questions and Jenny as reward
• the rps code was once again optimised and now uses buttons and selects

Other improvements

• new commands ajit and flash were added as pxlapi added those as endpoints
• added spin which spins an image in a circle you give to it
• the paginator was improved several times now also supporting subclassing
• there was a file added called setup.py which makes it easier for contributors to set up the database
• avatars being a horrible quality has been fixed
• k!novel has been optimised
• a helper function was added which sends random tips with a 5% chance on specific commands

Bug fixes

• fixed an issue where two command groups were not displayed in the help command
• fixed all possible @ everyone exploits
• fixed todo lists being broken at multiple places
• fixed random failures when trying to remove/add cards
• avatars being very bad quality in all commands that used them
• not being able to view older updates with update
• the usage command not taking command groups into consideration

If anyone is wondering on the net effect of caching classes, this shows the amount of requests to the database before and after the update (which was pulled at 5 pm)
