Changelog

If you ever send a message with the wrong character, you can always just use the newly introduced reproxy command in order to send the last message of yours in the channel again, this also works if you reply to a message using any of the following text commands:

• d!reproxy <Proxy>

• d!var reproxy <Base> <Proxy>

• d!shared reproxy <Proxy>

Alongside NPC oriented commands.

• d!reproxy Pokemon <...>

• d!reproxy Shiny <...>

• d!reproxy Trainer <...>

• d!reproxy D&D <...>

• d!reproxy Digimon <...>

Have a great day

Having buttons within the same selector of characters can be quite confusing for sure when it comes to displaying our characters and selecting them, for that reason we've made two different selectors, one for selecting as usual (20 per page) and a selector for the available options.

Main changes

• Being able to search by name  (If you're in a proxy, it'll filter within its variants firstly).

• Being able to search by group (If you're in a proxy, it'll filter within its variants firstly).

• Go directly to a page by number.

• Local / Global mode which allows to make changes for your character for all servers or for that server in specific.

• And many other functions that have been implemented as shortcuts to our traditional commands.

• Latch mode now also works in DMs.

• /read commands have been reintroduced, alongside /info command.

Have you ever had the issue in which you're writing a backstory for your character using update or detail, and during a bot restart or accidentally closing it, you lose that information? Well, this won't happen anymore in the bot, we learned some features that discord modals have and from now on, even if you close it by accident, the information you wrote, it'll remain there still.

And secondly, errors in this bot looked quite ugly, so I've decided to customize every single error response of the bot, making them now easier to understand and more practical than before.

The bot didn't have an option to delete multiple characters, neither it had ways to being able to easily just manage the characters without having to do multiple commands.

Well, not anymore, starting today the bot's lists will provide some extra functions to modify our characters right away. And of course, if you wanna modify those characters locally, make sure to set local True in the list command.

There's a new function in /settings user, it has to do whether the bot will automatically convert dates from your messages to rather actual discord timestamps. This new function works right off the bat without the use of d{date ...} or d!exec date ...

For example, let's assume that I have a character say 

> We should meet in December 20, 2024

If I have this function enabled, the date will turn into 

> We should meet in <t:1734670800>

And yes, it does take into account your time zone as user if you provided it in /settings, that way it should make it easier for people to understand what you mean. (The feature is very experimental, so it may not necessarily detect all dates properly)

Additionally,  /check_permissions, now indicates in what shard/cluster the discord server is in and shows the ping latency in milliseconds.

Have a great day.

While it's important for users to have flexibility, it's also important to have tools at the disposal of the staff teams to prevent the usage of certain words that break TOS. Discord has a built-in function for this called Automod, but it can be difficult to set up with for many as average user isn't experienced with regular expressions.

If you press /settings server and set default_automod as True, it'll make an automod rule in that server which has some regular expressions that should hinder bad user behavior in your server. After created, you can still modify that rule in your server such as making it notify staff, making it more strict, less strict or anything. Just remember that for it to work, the bot needs manage server permissions.

Hello there, while it's been good to focus on the privacy aspect of the bot, it's also important to focus on the community oriented features that have been requested for at least some time. 

Few years ago, I made a bot designed for handling RP servers, this bot was quite essential for keeping the community tidy and organized despite everything, nowadays for RP servers there aren't systems that allow people to have characters they can share, show and such. For this reason I'm making a major change to D-Proxy's functionalities by recycling code from my old bot in it. 

• The list commands now have an extra attribute which is showing_to, this allows the person to navigate through your characters while you're still in control of closing it as needed be. (Personally, I still prefer to just use d!list and control it myself)

• Read command has been repurposes. Now it's used to read an user's information, this information is the User's AFK and their characters registered for the server through `/local` (It'll also include characters you've whitelisted to allow viewing in public, and won't include those you've blacklisted)

• Introducing the commands `/blacklist` and `/whitelist`. These are used to keep in control of what shows to people and what doesn't. Example of use of it

  • Having server NPCs that you don't want people to know of, other than your admins

  • Having characters in your account that people can just read and see (this could be characters, could be comm prices, could be business information, etc)

• Right clicking users, this no longer leads to "read AFK" but rather to "Proxy Info". This option will show the user's timezone and everything, but it'll also display any characte

It was simply quite impractical the older appearance of the list, wasn't helpful for the user experience and neitehr was beneficial for the bot either, plus whenever I'd restart the bot they'd stop working. With the new implementation of dynamic views this won't happen anymore.

I'm here to announce the version 1.9.0 of the bot, yes it's a major version, and I'd like to summarize the features that are now part of the bot in order to allow the tool to be way more practical than usual.

• If tired of endlessly using long commands for using NPCs and being unable to use them in dms, well good news for you, many of the commands of the bot are now entirely compatible with NPCs. From using /set to even specifying them as parameter for /auto. This should make it now way easier to keep a NPC stored in memory and just keep writing messages in the chat using d!say or any of the different options that /set provides.

• Emoji reactions such as ❌ 📝 ❓ will now work in the same channel they've been used, meaning that instead of DMing, it'll show real quick in the channel so that you're able of using the function. If you don't like this and rather prefer to be DM'd, then try to enable DM Notifications in /settings user

• The NPC command has been split into several commands, each of them having their own franchises to use, this way it's easier to select for mobile purposes. 

• Auto now has a command called /auto clear, this can be used directly for removing the auto in a channel.

Have a great day and as a small disclaimer, I'm more than interested in adding new features in the bot, I'm always open to ideas and will do my best to help, however if you want those ideas, I suggest to politely ask for them in the Support server's forums as opposed to non conventional methods, cheers

Currently, editing messages with D-Proxy's button, leads to obtaining the message you just posted in the channel, we realized that this function is simply quite useless for the use cases of the average person, as after all, y'know, the edited message is there.

And posting the older message wasn't entirely a good idea either as it wouldn't really help much to keep track of what has been modified.

For this reason, I've modified the response of it, it now works as a diff document which returns what lines you have edited, what's the older information and what's the newer information. If you're using computer, it'll show in green the new, and red the deleted info.

Small changes in this update

• Import and Export are now valid for proxies, shared proxies and variants.

• Exporting to tupperbox keeps the groups.

• It's now possible to export your characters' server profiles, if local isn't true the export will include all the profiles you've saved.

• /check_permissions now indicates you whether the proxy in your server was created by D-Proxy or you, if created by you, you can use nitro emojis in that channel, otherwise, the bot will patch up if external permissions are granted to both users and bot.

That old menu of /settings has been replaced by a set of slash commands

• /settings server

• /settings member

• /settings user

Hello there, I'd like to mention some notes towards the changes I've done.

So let's start from the beginning, I've noticed that when we convert proxies to tupperbox and try to bring them back, they lose their "Variant" property, and similarly goes for all the commands that have a similar situation.

I've decided to change it entirely, from now on when you export characters to tupperbox, if they are variants, the name will look like  `Base|Name` while keeping as nickname either their nickname or name

From it, it'll be able to determine that the characters you're bringing are variants, if the base doesn't exist, It'll be simply registered as usual.  Secondly, the dproxy export format is now less crowded, this way it should be way more practical for the users that are interested in checking it or whatever

Secondly, the slash commands have changed a lot, discord had made a limitation for subcommands which we had to work around it by changing our structure entirely. Don't worry, text commands work as usual, the difference is that now doing `d!create proxy` or `d!create variant` also works in the same way as how `d!create` and `d!var create` works, both options are available.

This new update has several benefits aside of being able to comply with discord's limitations

• The nsfw commands simply won't show at all unless you're in an age restricted channel (Discord doesn't allow subcommands to do this, hence we changed the structure of the bot)

• Just typing the command you want to execute, you already get the available options, be it proxy, variant or for shared proxies. e.g. /create

• Tupperbox import models have been adjusted to the changes, making the bot compatible with it again

• Update and detail slash command now have extra parameters.

Ever since the introduction of forums in discord, it's been quite noticeable the lack of customization for users that the tool offers, once the message is out there, it's hard to edit its images or you can't really have embeds in it if you're not a bot.

Well, not anymore, if you allow the bot to create threads and also give it the permission to manage them, the bot will automatically convert messages from that forum into proxy messages, allowing them as such to be edited with any of my bot's options.

Have a great day, and remember this functionality doesn't come with the bot's default permissions. It's only enabled if you adjust the bot's permissions.

I'd like to mention today that D-Proxy is once more capable of working with emojis from all servers even if the bot isn't in that server, however to set that up, you need to do the following steps in your server.

• Create a webhook as user in your channel called D-Proxy

• Delete the previous webhook of D-Proxy (Note: this won't let you edit older messages)

• Now send a message again and it'll work right off the bat with nitro emojis from all servers if you have nitro.

Update 04/12/2024:
Discord webhooks can't send button components in webhooks that's not theirs, for that reason these webhooks will only utilize replies within the text instead of buttons.

Introducing a new mechanic to the bot, but basically if you reply to your message with a word that has *, the bot will try to correct the typo instantly as it has found the close match. This won't be accurate always given it's a command built with rather an statistical approach. (This feature can also be disabled in settings of course.)

As you write prefixes for characters, the bot will try make suggestions on how to do it, it shows you some alternatives and as you type, it'll show you more insight into it.

• In Server settings you can change the way how the bot's prefix works, this prefix is generally d!. Deleting the entry puts it back to normal

• You can now edit a proxy's embeds at any moment without slash commands or interactions, just requires doing d!edit embed and then the flags you wanna use, such as --title This is a title, or anything else.

• Color picking now has an autocomplete that should help in this regard a bit more.

• The non slash command version of update now allows all the things that detail and update does allow, you just need to specify them as flags, for example.  d!update --birthday yesterday

• Given we are now using a new translation system, we'll temporarily keep it in english entirely until we have properly translated them again (so likely during the week)

While the /use function has been good for DMs, upon play testing, we've reached the conclusion that it's not necessarily as practical as expected. For that reason I've implemented a new mechanism while also keeping the /use function.

• /set <Proxy>

• /var set <Proxy> <Variant>

• /say <Text | Optional>

Use the set function to keep a character for that server/dm and then use say in order to keep saying messages with that proxy and as thus prevents having to repetitively keep selecting the proxy in /use

Have a great day

During 03/18/2024, discord enabled a feature for bots within the GDC, which allows bots to join private groups if the users authorize them to do such a thing. For that reason, yes, I've implemented it in D-proxy.

This will allow functions such as rolling dice, or simply checking your characters anywhere to be available for those that install D-Proxy in their account. To install it press the bot's add button or use this link.

However, some observations I'd like to bring up about it are:

• In non servers, deleting and editing has a maximum of 15 minutes since the message was sent.

• Since DM and groups don't have webhooks, what will happen is that the bot will use Embeds for messages as opposed to Webhook messages (See image below)

• Normal commands don't work in DMs, neither does using the bot's prefixes.

• Guild and Member settings in non Servers, will modify the settings for that DM Group / DM in specific

Have a great day!

For many, it's a recurrent issue not being able to figure out what someone's available times are, alongside being able to tell what time it is for certain persons. For this reason we've decided to introduce a new feature.

This is the command /afk alongside being able to right click users to get the schedules. You can configure the time of your account alongside your busy times in User settings at /settings. In the future, I intend to update this feature a bit more, but for now this is the basic functionality it does.

• Informs what time it is for another person.

• Informs about their busy time in both, your timezone and the other user's timezone.

• Right clicking users can help to instantly get this information.

• Once this bot is allowed to work in DMs, you can use it to check this info from other users and yourself.
  
  

Taking into account that soon discord will allow bots to become user apps that can be used anywhere, I've been preparing the bot for ensuring it can be ready to go once the time comes.

As soon as discord launches the feature, our team will work on making it work even if it requires not using webhooks.

And as quality of life change, all the variant commands when you are selecting the base proxy won't show proxies that have no variants.

I'll say, when I designed this bot I was looking for a tool that could help the specific needs that a server audience had at the time. There were people of all kinds  and everyone had something in common, which was trying their best to catch up and learn english just as myself in order to properly hang out with everyone.

Not everyone has the same advantage of being capable of learning multiple languages. Some users end up endlessly googling not only for understanding the internet but also the bots.

Well, I know that it's not a priority, but as native spanish speaker, I've decided to give some priority to this and I've made sure that everything from the bot is now properly translated. If your community server has Spanish or South American spanish selected, the bot's messages in that server will show in that language. And the slash commands will show in spanish for users that have it in spanish on their devices.

Have a great day and looking forwards to translating more languages hopefully.

Taking into account the community's request on making the bot more accessible for text commands and its slash commands being complicated, I've simplified the bot's syntax a lot. Now the commands should be easier to understand similarly to bots like Tupperbox and Pluralkit. For more information read the page of slash commands or text commands.

• Export format has been optimized, making it not include unnecessary information.

• /check command can now be used by everyone and renamed as /check_permissions

• Added Dipplin, Poltchageist, Sinistcha, Okidogi, Munkidori, Fezandipiti, Ogerpon to the available Pokemon

Discord has made a patch that removes the ability from any bot to add emojis after editing a webhook message. For this reason, this bot will return to the usual behavior of editing and replacing with an URL. Have a great day and my apologies for the inconveniences

Tired of memorizing proxies or needing to constantly keep using auto ? Well, for that reason we have created the latch mode. Servers in which you have enabled this feature will instantly add proxies to your auto for that channel. If you want to remove them, simply remove the latch mode and use the usual auto disable.

Pssst... Server owners, you ever want to create NPCs that everyone can use in your server but only staff can manage ? Well, it's now possible. Introducing the Local Proxies.

These local proxies can only be created, modified and deleted by administrators. And basically they can be used by everyone within the server. They'll show in the /npc command options and you can also use them if you know their prefixes (they won't prefix for you if you don't have this setting enabled at /settings)

New Command

If you have them enabled, the command d{local <name>} will let you easily use them within the responses

Hi hi! I've decided to add an extra functionality to the bot. This time it's to allow having Server PFPs.

Instead of having to create variants for a character for the sake of having a different image / nickname in a server, now you can simply add that information in the profile

In order to modify the server's nickname, use /proxy detail while enabling server_only as True

Have a great day!

As small update, now the amount moved from 13 to 17 available fonts.

• Circled

  • d{font 14 D-Proxy} -> Ⓓ-Ⓟⓡⓞⓧⓨ

• Full-width

  • d{font 15 D-Proxy} -> Ｄ－Ｐｒｏｘｙ

• SuperScript

  • d{font 16 D-Proxy} -> ᴰ⁻ᴾʳᵒˣʸ

• Smallcaps

  • d{font 17 D-Proxy} -> ᴅ₋ᴘʀᴏxʏ

Today I've decided to implement an extra command to the bot. This command allows making messages become one of the 13 available fonts that can be used as ascii. All of them have been implemented as a way to ensure writers get to make the best out of the bot.

If you want to get started, just write messages and try our different fonts. The number goes from 1 to 13. Have a great day and here is a preview of the fonts.

• Serif Bold

  • d{font 1 D-Proxy} -> 𝐃-𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐱𝐲

• Serif Italic

  • d{font 2 D-Proxy} -> 𝐷-𝑃𝑟𝑜𝑥𝑦

• Serif Bold Italic

  • d{font 3 D-Proxy} -> 𝑫-𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒙𝒚

• Sans Serif Regular

  • d{font 4 D-Proxy} -> 𝖣-𝖯𝗋𝗈𝗑𝗒

• Doublestruck

  • d{font 13 D-Proxy} -> 𝔻-ℙ𝕣𝕠𝕩𝕪

Discord has made tools for some time that are available for people with visual problems such as their TTS functionality. This function usually comes disabled in your account's settings, but it can be enabled. Taking into account that there are users which are having issues with this regard, I've decided to as well implement a TTS mechanism within the bot.

From now on, the bot will have an extra setting called TTS which if enabled, will make your messages be sent as TTS as long as you and the server have the right permissions for sending such kind of messages.

Note

To implement this function, the bot and the users need to have permissions of TTS messages. The users that want to hear such TTS messages have to enable it in their Account's Accessibility Settings. May sound complicated but this way ensures that it's not used for spam and troll intent.

After some time, the team discovered a functionality within discord that allows the bot to make use of emojis without any monkey patching. From now on, if you have the emoji patch enabled (which is enabled by default), all your emojis will work right off the bat!!

Tired of repeating the same sentences over and over when making embeds? Well you don't have to do that anymore. From now on you can just make a base embed and then the rest are copy references to it through the keyword copy. If you're replying to a message with embeds, it'll take it as reference. Otherwise it'll use the embeds you have previously written in this.

The introduction of commands in proxies has been quite well adopted for the community. For that reason I've decided to make its syntax way more easier. From now on you can see that all the generated images are now using spaces instead of $

Additionally, you can now provide the pokemon name of a species as avatar, and it'll load for the proxy. For example putting as url "Pokemon Zeraora Shiny Happy" leads to that proxy getting a shiny zeraora image with the happy expression.

And now all commands don't require to use : at the end of the command's name, meaning that some commands are now quite easier to type such as {{mood Happy}} {{embed --title foo}}
