Patch Notes

RPG Thunder 0.1 BETA
An update containing the newly overhauled and improved structure. Less memory usage, faster database querying and more.

Important note, All accounts have been removed for them to work with the new features and of coarse, testing

Additions:

- Made profile more compact. Currencies are no longer seen on the profile. Added inline fields with support for mobile. TLDR: less clutter!

- Icons everywhere. Going onward most items, consumables, currencies and materials will have icons. These icons are integrated all over the bot's features.

- Starter items! No longer are you a naked peddling adventurer (unless you picked archer at the start, Sorry!) All players start with 2 Small health potions and coin 50 coins!

- To reduce unneeded clutter on your screen all stat and currency values are displayed as whole numbers (they are decimals in the code so don't fret about the 0.734567 extra coins you'd get from a coinflip)

- Separated Materials from currencies. Both have their own commands now.

- Explore now has a 30 second cooldown (Sorry lads, no more spamming pepehands) As a result also added to the ready and cooldown commands.

- Explore now lists its rewards in a single field (instead of splitting it between 3)

Bug Fixes

- Fixed a bug where you would be stuck in a blackjack session. It's still there.

- Fixed a bug where you would not be healed to full health when leveling up

- Fixed a whole lot minor bugs as well as visual bugs.

A solid thank you to everyone  for taking the time to test our work!

Feedback and suggestion are appreciated

New system: Regions & Zones:

This an update containing the base changes for a new system: Regions & Zones.

Every Region has zones. And each zone has its own ores, materials, enemies, bosses, fish, wood, etc..

Naturally some zones are going to be harder than others. Some zones won't have a town so be prepared when marching on to a new zone.

Different towns means different shops, selling different things. You get the idea,

For now only one zone is available, stay tuned as they'll be added in the near future.

Note: current enemies, names for zones, items, materials, etc. are temporary and are subject to change as the development goes on.

Changes:

- Rework to zone system.

- Sell price of an item is now visible when using the $itemdata command.

- Added item icon to $Itemdata command.

- When you die your health now regenerates

Fixes:

- Fixed a text formatting problem with the $ready and $cooldown commands.

- Added missing icons in the gathering commands

- Fixed a bug that chop would sometimes not add the wood to your materials.

Hotfixes:

- Fixed fishing

- Hp now resets to your proper fullhp when leveling up

- Gather commands no longer trigger cooldowns when there is nothing to gather.

- Did some tuning and added minimum level to higher level encounters (no longer getting one shotted)

Known Bugs:

- Fishing does not work

- Hp resets to previous level maxhp instead of currentlevel

- Harvesting when there is nothing to harvest triggers the cooldown

- Explore bugs out when you gain an item cause of database changes for next patch (tomorrow most likely)

As usual, thank you to everyone for testing our work, any feedback or bug reports is appreciated

RPG Thunder 0.2.1 BETA

Note: current enemies, names for zones, items, materials, etc. are temporary and are subject to change as the development goes on.

- Added Shop. A new improved shop system is now in place! Executing the shop shows your current zone's shop. (Different zones, sell different items.)

- Added buy command. Accompanying the new shop command there's a new buy command ($buy [itemName] [optional: amount])

- Shop now has all types of items instead of being split between multiple categories.

- You can now view an items data using its name as a parameter example: $itemdata 1 OR $itemdata Leather Training Helm Both work.

RPG Thunder 0.3.2 BETA
I'd like to wish you all a happy new year!

An update featuring the new crafting system, new item sets, class info, improved stat system, etc...

Note: current enemies, names for zones, items, materials, etc. are temporary and are subject to change as the development goes on.

Explaining the item crafting system.

With this update comes the crafting system and an improved stat system for items. All equipable items now have these stat parameters for every stat:

1. base_stat

2. crafting_bonus_min

3. crafting_bonus_max

When crafting an equipable item you will have an rng chance of getting a strong craft, this will increase the items' stat with a value between crafting_bonus_min and crafting_bonus_max

You can check these parameters for every item using the $itemdata [itemname] command.

Changes:

- Added $recipes [optional: Page] command.

- Added $craft [name] [optional: amount] command.

- Added craftable consumable 'Cooked Common Fish'

- Added $classinfo [optional: ClassName] command. (This shows you the base stat, stat increases, allowed item types, etc. for the selected class)

- Added links to our official resources to the $help command.

- The commands $equip,$inventory,$gift,$sell have been switched to a 'bag slot' system instead of an 'item id' system. Items are now inside of numbered slots in your inventory. If you want to execute a command with a select item you have to pass what slot it's in. Example: $gift @ru 20. This will gift the item in my 20th inventory slot.

- Added a level cap. All exp gained above level 15 is useless (for now.)

- Added 2 new armor sets.

Coming Soon tm

- Sorting recipes by category

- Travel system (to travel to other zones)

- Professions

- User Marketplace

RPG Thunder 1.0.0 BETA (Rework Patch)
At long last the full rework of what we have is done. We have built everything up from scratch to provide you with a balanced, intuitive and fun game to play.

Professions & Crafting

The first big thing of note is that Professions have been added. You can use the command $professions to see them. You have gathering professions and crafting professions. For the crafting professions you have recipes (crafting).

If you want to increase your skill in the crafting professions you need to craft items. There are several things of note here.

To know what recipes a profession has you can check doing $recipes [professionName]. This will list ALL the recipes of that profession.

Anything between '❮❯' shows you the crafting cost of the item and between '⦕⦖' you will find the following:

skillgain - This is how much skill you will gain from crafting the recipe.

skillrequirement - This is how much skill you need in the profession to be able to craft the recipe.

skillgreenzone - When your skill goes above the green zone's amount you will only have a 50% chance of gaining skill from crafting the recipe.

skillgrayzone - When your skill goes above the gray zone's amount you will not gain any more skill from crafting that recipe.

Stats increases

When crafting a item it increases the item's base stats by up to 10%. So you can have strong crafts and weaker ones.

Querying system

With the rework we have added something we call the 'querying system'. This allows you to add parameters to a command that displays items. Queries always start with '-' followed by what query to apply and then it's parameters.

Here is a list of all available queries as of the rework:

sortby

sortby allows you to sort by whatever parameter is def into the query.

-sortby id

-sortby atk

-sortby def

-sortby acc

-sortby quality

-sortby amount

maxitems

The maxitems query allows you to display less/more items in one go. Right now the views are set to fit on mobile but if you want to display more items than the default you can use this query

example: $inv -maxitems 10 - this will make it so you see 10 items per page in the inventory.

filter

This query applies a filter to the items making it so you only get to see what you filter for.

-filter type=material/consumable/equipment

-filter quality=common(1)/uncommon(2)/rare(3)/epic(4)/legendary(5)

-filter slot=main-hand(1)/off-hand(2)/head(3)/chest(4)/legs(5)/feet(6)/trinket(7)

Queries can be applied to: Inventory, Recipes, Shop.

You can combign queries to get the results you want.

example for getting the main hand with the most damage in your inventory: $inv -maxitems 1 -filter slot=1 -sortby atk

Mobile Support

As mentioned before, we do our best to fit all the commands on a mobile screen to make sure you can play anytime, anywhere.

Universal References

All references to items can be done by passing the ID of the item or the name. [itemID/ItemName] [amount/all] this goes for all commands.

All items have their respective id now

Previously equipment, consumables and materials were seperated. This is no longer the case. They are all found in your inventory and have their respective ID.

Added some convenient commands

$experience - Shows your experience in your current level with a progress bar.

$health - Shows your health status with a progress bar.

Health regenerates over time

We have replaced our $rest command with a system that regenerates 200% health over the span of 24 hours.

The currency, material and experience gains have been pruned, and tuning formulas have been put in place.

We have decreased the overal speed of leveling as before it was a bit too easy to just outlevel a zone within an hour. We want it to be atleast a tad more challenging. All tuning is now done using our base formulas which ensures everything is 100% balanced for all players, if something is hard for you as a warrior. It will be equally as hard for a mage or archer in the long run.

Message Structure

All bot messages have an similar structure now. The bot first mentions the username of who the message is meant for, following up with the details.

Improved command execution speeds

With our new data storage system there no longer has to happen any external connections between servers which cause latency in between the receiving and responding of commands.

Increased blackjack session responsiveness

The blackjack sessions have been improved upon, the game session feels more responsive and gives you the feel that this is a proper game being played.

Tons and tons of smaller changes

There have been tons of small changes improving the quality of the game. Naming them all would be wasting time, just know they're there.

Hotfix patch
I've rolled out a hotfix patch.

Fixes:

- inventory filtering is fixed.

- Fixed it so that $itemdata command can be used with both the item name or item id.

- Fixed the exp bug happening when you die, the precentage of exp in your current level converts to the previous level.

- Fixed the $giveitem command allowing you to give infinite amount of equipment items and then it taking all of your inventory. You can use it safely now.

- Fixed the $sell command, when selling equipment it now successfully checks if you do own enough of that equipment to sell the amount.

- Fixed the duplicating and lost items problem when equipping items. You can also no longer wear a two hand and a one hand at the same time.

Hotfix patch

Another hotfix rollout!

Fixes:

- Fixed $use command not working as intended when using consumable items.

- Fixed bot whining about you not being registered while you are.

- Fixed session bug where the session would not receive your input sometimes.

- Fixed $sellall, when selling more than 40 items it displays up to 40 and adds 'and more...' to work around the discord max message size limitation.

- Slightly buffed Malachite drops from mobs.

RPG Thunder 1.1.0 BETA
Who let the boss out?!

An update featuring the new fleshed out ability system and the return of the turn based battle system... but... B E T T E R!

New ability system

Let's start of with the new ability system. Each ability has a cooldown. Naturally, when you use the ability the cooldown will trigger and you will not be able to use the ability for several rounds. So time your abilities well!

Each ability has atlease one effect, (there can be multiple). Let's go over some of the implemented type of effects.

1. instant damage - This instantly deals damage, it scales with your attack stat.

2. instant healing - This instantly heals, it also scales with your attack stat.

3. damage over time - This will deal damage over several turns, also scales with attack.

4. healing over time - This will heal over several turns, also also also scales with attack.

5. absorb buff - This buffs the target, adding a shield which will absorb damage.

6. damage reduction buff - This will reduce the damage you take by a set percentage for several rounds.

Quick notes
How do i get these abilities?

Great question!

Ability Commands

$spellbook - This will show you all of the abilities you have unlocked.

$spellbook -all - This will show you all of the abilities your class has, including the ones you have not yet unlocked.

$spells - This will show you all of your current equipped abilities.

$equipspell [spellID/spellName] - This will equip the spell you pass with it, it will also prompt you for what slot to equip it in.

and most importantly

$spelldata [spellID/spellName] - This shows you exactly what the spell does in detail.

The bosses are back better than ever!

You can now once again enjoy the zone boss fights.

How?

Simply expore in the zone untill you find the lair. When you have found the boss's lair you can start a boss session by using the command: $boss

Important to note:

You have to equip your abilities first before marching to your death in a boss fight.

The boss rewards are significantly increased if it is your first time defeating it.

You can find more details on the boss fight in the starting message of the boss session.

I added the administative command to $help as requested by @Fer

RPG Thunder 1.1.6 BETA
The first of many updates coming in the next 3ish weeks.

Macro Protection System

I have implemented a macro protection system to keep things fair for everyone. We do not want to have some smartass using a macro or script ruin the general economy and fun for others!

One-time drop functionality

We have added the functionality of having a 100% chance drop on items when you first kill the boss. This will allow us to give the players collectables such as keys as a requirement of entering the upcoming dungeons.

soulbound items

Items can now be 'soulbound'. This simply means that it cannot be traded with another player, EVER. Items such as dungeon keys and one time drop legendaries will be untradable. When the marketplace comes around, soulbound items will also not be placable on the marketplace. (This information can be found on the $itemdata command)

Boss portraits & improvements

All bosses wil now have portaits. The current ones available also do. I have tweaked some things with the boss command. It now shows you the stats and portrait aswell as abilities when warning you about the difficulty.

Currency & rounding fixes

Fixed some currencies not rounding properly. For example: when betting 1 coin in blackjack. And you earn a hand of 21 points, it would give you 1.5 coins back. Making your overall currency not rounded. It now rounds up from 5. I have also fixed a problem where some places would not show the abreviated number notation when they should.

Unsellable Items

Some items will now be marked as 'unsellable', meaning you will not be able to sell them on either the marketplace or with the $sell command. This will apply to the majority of the legendaries and boss souls. (This information can be found on the $itemdata command)

Top Lottery entries

The amount of top lottery entries that is displayed on the lottery message has been increased to 15. In addition i have fixed a bug where it would show the top listings in a reversed order.

RPG Thunder 1.1.7 BETA
I think it's obvious that RPG Thunder's growth over the past month has shocked anyone. The huge amount of new players brought a new layer of testing to our game: Performance and Stability.

As you may have noticed there have been plenty of bugs, data loss and crashes over this period of time aswell as memory usage ramping up to unacceptable amounts.

This update seeks to fix the issues that have been appearing and squish the bugs once and for all awell as bring some minor additions and quality of life changes!

Changes

- Added the $canceltravel command.

- Macro protection now instandly executes after reaching the max amount of commands (instead of the next message)

- Macro protection now requires you to execute a command before you receive the DM. It also notifies you if your discord setting do not allow for DM messages from the bot. (this prevents macro (ab)users to just keep an eye on their phone for notifications.) Suggested by @Nateღ ネイト

- Blackjack Aces (A) now decrease their value to 1 when you go over the 21 points treshold. Allowing you to ACE a strategy :^)

- Lottery tickets have a chance to be more expansive now.

- Users can now buy up to 15 lottery tickets.

- Macro protection prompt happens less often now.

Fixes

- Fixed $equipspell sometimes getting you stuck in a confirmation state.

- Fixed the top.gg server stats not updating as intended.

- Added command rate limiter, this fixes ppl being able to spamm a command (like daily/weekly) and have it be executed multiple times before the cooldown triggers.

...

And alot more minor fixes that will smoothen out your gameplay, improve performance and quality of life.

RPG Thunder 1.1.9 BETA
This update mainly contains balancing updates around the economy and gambling.

Let me start of by saying that voting is fixed.

As most of the active playerbase knows, the economy has been very spiky because of the way our gambling systems work. We have decided to tackle these problems while keeping gambling as rewarding and interesting as ever.

Gambling Caps & Professions

Let us start off with mentioning the gambling caps. You can no longer gamble infinite amounts of coins in a single bet. Bets are now limited to a reasonable cap and if you are a hardcore gambler, this cap can be increased by leveling up the gambling profession.

The base cap of bets is now 1500 coins.

Any level one character with a gambling skill of 0 can bet up to 1500 coins.

For each skill point in your profession this cap is increased by 35 coins.

This means right now (as the max skill is at 100), you will be able to increase your cap by a total of 3500 coins. (a total max of 5k)

The skill of each profession will continue to increase at the rate of 25 skill points for each new zone.

Your level also serves as limiter to your bets.

Since we do not want to have a bunch of level one gambling accounts, your level limits how much your cap is increased by.

Let's say you are a level 7 archer and you are an extreme gambling addict and have leveled your gambling profession to 70/100 skill points.

You will not be able to benefit of the cap increase fully since it will limit you to the cap increase of 25 skill points.

level 0 - 9   -> skill 0 - 25

level 10 - 19 -> skill 26 - 50

level 20 - 29 -> skill 51 - 75

level 30 - 40 -> skill 75 - 100

Another thing of note is that the gambling cooldown has been halved.

How to level the gambling profession?

Leveling up the gambling profession works a bit different from how the others work.

The way you level it is by... well... gambling!

For every coin you gamble, regardless of win or loss, you will receive 0.00005 skill points. So naturally the higher your bets, the more skill points you will receive.

For every whole/natural number of skill in the profession your gambling cap will increase by 35 coins.

New gambling keywords and syntax

As you may have noticed, when specifying the amount of coins you wish to gamble you can add 'k' behind the amount to multiply it times 1000.

With the new caps you can use the keywords:

- max which will bet the max amount your current cap allows you to bet

- halfmax or hm which bets max divided by two

Naturally under the hood there have been several visual and technical bug fixes. As always a huge thank you to all those who have reported them!
