At long last, clan rank colors can be customized!

There's not much more to say about this one. The same picker that appears in the workshop now appears on the clan permission matrix page, which clan owners can use to modify clan rank colors.

"Fun" fact: This has been a TODO ever since clans first launched during closed beta. Looking back at the legacy announcements page, that was 2011-02-25. Better 4,520 days late than never...? :\

In addition to the main change, a few other small things changed:

• Color picker upgrade: The buttons for changing colors are bigger and easier to see, as is the selected color. Buttons get disabled when you reach the top/bottom ends of allowed colors. Rapid clicking will no longer trigger double-click browser text selection. This applies to both the workshop color picker and clan ranks color pickers.
• Clan owner permission clarity: It's always been the case that the permission matrix row for the clan owner rank cannot be modified (other than the name, and now the color). For instance, you couldn't remove "kick" permission for the clan owner. However, the form didn't make this clear - the fields were modifiable (which maybe even looked a little scary). These checkboxes are now disabled on the clientside to match the serverside behavior.
• Clan non-owner permission clarity: Non-owner clan members now see a warning popup on the permission matrix page informing them they have read-only access, just to make things a little more clear.
• Allowed colors bugfix: Speaking of serverside and clientside differences, I noticed while working on these changes that the serverside was more permissive (allows down to #222222) than clientside (allows down to #444444). This means that a clever player could actually get their username to basically disappear if they were to bypass the clientside check. I didn't query the database to determine whether anyone has actually done this, but in any case, #444444 is now enforced serverside too.
• Default clan rank color changes: I debated whether to even include this one, but in the interest of being complete, I changed the default clan rank colors to be within the color pickers bounds (i.e. greater than #444444). In practice, the changes are impercetible (e.g. #00ff00 -> #44ff44 ...see? you can't tell!)

P.S. Repeating disclaimer: There are more updates to come, so if this one doesn't excite you, hang tight. I know a bunch of different ideas have been brought up in the What do you want to see done for the game? thread (if you haven't shared your own perspective there yet and want to help shape the game's future, go ahead and do so!) and I know that everyone has different opinions on what order they should be worked on in. Rather than try to bundle up changes into larger updates, I'm currently planning to post user-facing ones as they're completed so that new stuff goes out sooner.

Previously, automatic clan treasury donations only activated if your bot had explicitly enabled a >0% donation percentage in the workshop.

Now, regardless of this setting, any excess kudos (i.e. kudos beyond the game cap of 5,000,000) will be automatically donated to your clan if you are in one and there is room in the treasury for more kudos.

Note that just like before, this calculation all happens before auto-repairs. Let me know if this now results in any oddities or even just annoyances that come up as a result of this. I think ideally auto-repairs should have come before automatic clan donations, but this is slightly non-trivial to rework and I'd rather punt on this for now if it's not a major issue.

Thanks to Myriad for the original suggestion way back when, as well as for bringing it up again last month.

tl;dr: Give me ideas to work on!

Hello! As some of you may have noticed, I've been around a bit these past few weeks, chatting with some of you on IRC, etc. That's a result of me having (finally) taken care of a few small problems that were preventing me from working on the game.

In case you're curious/interested about the background: It started when I relocated for ~8 months during Covid. I didn't bring my desktop, but I bought a cheap laptop and did some small game development things on that. Not a lot though (obviously). Then I returned home, but I was still working remotely and got tired of swapping cables to switch between my work computer and personal desktop, so my desktop (which is my main development machine) stayed offline for a long time. Fast forward to a month or two ago. I bought a KVM (these devices are amazing if you have multiple computers), dusted off my desktop, applied new thermal paste to its CPU, updated its very-outdated operating system, and started finally poking at the game again. My first order of business was to do various infrastructure upgrades. We're now on PHP 8.2 and many of the various libraries/utilities that the game depends on have been upgraded to latest versions as well so that the game remains stable and fast (brag: I find the speed of everything in the game remarkable compared to the sluggish bloat I feel on many other more "modern" sites). The upshot is that all this behind-the-scenes modernization makes it much easier to do future development work.

That brings us to today. Now for the fun part! I'm looking to get back into actual feature development a bit. My track record isn't great and I know things have been slower in recent years, so I'm hesitant to make any big promises, but...hear me out:

What do you want done? I have some time off from work next week and want to spend a chunk of it on the game. I don't play this game and am not plugged into the day-to-day anymore, so I want to hear from all of you. Feel free to suggest stuff or +1 other people's ideas. You're the best people to know what's going to make you enjoy the game more, what you find annoying, what you always wish had been done, etc. And don't worry too much about whether something is going to be hard to build - I'd like to understand what people really want first. After that, I can think about the cost tradeoffs of building stuff. Of course though, smaller stuff is more likely to get done sooner.

I'll kick this thread off with my own ideas, but treat these as just a starting point for you to suggest your own:

• Move the game onto HTTPS so that you stop getting browser warnings
• Fix PayPal integration so that you don't have to wait for me to give purchased stars
• Revamp the designed-in-2010 UI to take advantage of typical monitor resolutions in 2023 (probably wider UI + bigger font...I find myself using 125% browser zoom on here)
• Move chat from IRC to Discord
• Change account structure so that you can manage a fleet of bots from a single login
• Daily quests, weekly events, etc.
• Promote the game more and optimize for new player stickiness/retention
• Train an LLM (a la ChatGPT/Bard) using forum data and do something fun with it
• Anything that was never implemented that you'd like done?
• Anything that's broken that you'd like fixed?
• Anything to improve mobile support? (maybe even an app one day?)
• Anything else at all?

As noted would be happening in last week's announcement, up to 500 duration of the Hastened Adventure buff (10,000% battle speed) has been given out to all bots active since the start of 2020 (including new ones created since last week's announcement). As also noted previously, the catch is that this round won't put you higher than 500 total duration. In other words, if your bots had any Hastened Adventure duration remaining, it was wasted. :\

If you liked this mini-event and want to see more similar ones in the future, please reply to this thread saying so to help me gauge interest. I personally like the idea of mini-events like this with fixed time windows to utilize because I think it could help promote retention and it just seems like a fun thing to periodically do. The specifics of the type of benefit (buffs, showroom chances, etc.) and the exact mechanism are flexible as long as it fits the general idea of being a time-bound "use it or lose it" sort of thing.

At long last, the game is once again capable of sending emails.

Since I know this problem led to many people taking a break from the game, as a one-time special incentive to get everyone excited (and hopefully back to the game), I'm giving out (up to) 1,000 duration of the Hastened Adventure buff (10,000% battle speed) to each and every bot. There's a bit of fine print to this though:

• Buff incentive #1 - Just before posting this announcement, I gave 500 duration of Hasted Adventure to all bots active since the start of 2020 (yes, emails were broken for about that long...). This either gave you a 500 duration buff or added to your existing buff.
• Buff incentive #2 - No sooner than 7 days after this announcement, I will give an additional 500 duration buff to all bots active since the start of 2020. However, unlike with incentive #1, duration will only be added to existing buffs as long as it does not cause you to exceed 500 total duration. Some examples: 0 -> 500, 400 -> 500, 500 -> 500, 800 -> 500. In other words, any Hasted Adventure duration that isn't used before incentive #2 activates will be wasted, so make sure to log into all your bots (and tell your friends that had taken a break to too) this week and use it up if you want to maximize your usage!

Finally, I'm really sorry for how long this took to do. The original game server became too outdated to do the authentication that modern day email requires, so a full server migration was needed. I'd procrastinated on doing that for a long time because of the number of moving parts it involves, but I finally bit the bullet and finished the migration last weekend. Since then, I've also fixed a number of small migration-related issues. With the migration fully completed, the path was at last clear for fixing emails - and so here we are.

Over the past 24 hours, I've migrated the entire game to a new server. This is a completely fresh install with a new database, new web server, new everything. Although I've done some basic spot-checks for game functionality, because of how much has changed, there's a high chance of subtle breakages that I missed. If you see anything unusual, please report it in the Bugs subforum.

Known issues:

• Custom logos: These aren't appearing yet. Edit (Feb 5, 1:35pm ET): Logos are back.
• Clan rankings: The ordering on the page is correct, but the rank labels (1, 2, 3, etc.) are wrong. Edit (Jan 30, 11:22pm ET): Clan rankings are working now.
• Jane: Not really a "breakage", but I just haven't gotten to setting up the game's IRC bot yet. Edit (Jan 30, 10:27pm ET): Jane is working now.
• Trophies: Unclear on the scope of the issue so far, but something likely involving to trophy counts and trophy points. Edit (Feb 5, 4:38pm ET): False alarm, there was no bug.
• End-of-month script: This went haywire the first time it ran. Edit: (Feb 1, 1:32am ET): This should be fixed now and has been re-run.

And since I know it's what many of you are wondering about: This migration was the main chunk of work needed to fix emails. Once the new server is up and completely stable, I'll work next on the final steps for restoring email functionality.

From the legacy announcements page on July 1, 2011:

bots4 has officially moved out of beta! All bots have been reset to level 1. In celebration of the release, an achievements system has been added. It's still in its early stages, so expect to see more to it as we go forward.

It's been a pretty wild ride. I didn't know how this little side project would turn out when I set off on the project sometime in 2010, but as previously noted, bots4 has been running longer than bots2, which ran for ~8 years. Here we are now 79,484 accounts, 96,207 forum posts, 408,321 bmail messages, 30,838,550 trains, 107,958,379 fights, 2,284,760,551,124,539 experience points, and 5,145 playtime years (!) later.

I'm sincerely thankful to everyone that's dedicated their time to play the game. Having players that enjoy the game and have stuck around for so long (whether continuously or after a hiatus) is the biggest compliment I could receive, so thank you. bots4, like bots2, has always been a very social game, so the community is the game's lifeblood; it'd be nothing without you. Here's to another 10 years of adventure together!

Some of you have already noticed these, but I made a handful of small improvements to various parts of the game a little over a month ago. I'd originally been planning to bundle these improvements into a set of even more improvements, after which I'd finally make an announcement post listing them all, but life gets in the way sometimes and so I haven't made progress on the others yet. So stay tuned for a "quality of life v2" announcement at some point in the future, but for now, here's (I think) everything that was changed:

• Equipment images now appear in the showroom - If you've played Diablo II at any point, you surely recognize that bots4 (via bots2) gets many of its equipment names from Diablo II, especially on the lower end. And if you played bots2, you may remember that it used actual Diablo II in-game images for items. I've now done the same for bots4, adding images to items taken from Diablo II. It was very nostalgic to see them all (both for Diablo II and bots2 reasons), so I hope you enjoy! Thanks to El Hefe for the suggestion.
  
  
• Members list of clan profiles are now sortable - This one has been requested for a long time. The members list can now be sorted by any field (level, rank, wins, ratio, etc.). Thanks to MikeiiiBoy for the suggestion.
  
  
• Star manager now shows a preview of the destination bot's name - When you start typing ids to move your stars to, the corresponding name of the destination bot based on the current id will now appear in the table in real-time. This should help make it harder to accidentally move stars to the wrong bot and get locked out for 5 days. Thanks to Dragon Summoner for the suggestion.
  
  
• Item slot name is now more prominent in showroom - This isn't too big of a deal if you're very familiar with the game's items, but in case you ever forget or don't know, item slot names (body, helmet, etc.) are now listed in both the stash list as well as the item popup itself. Thanks to Zord for the suggestion.
  
  
• Star images/logos now show exact star count on mouseover - Bots with 1-7 stars have distinct logos, but 8+ stars have been ambiguous until this change. You can now mouseover the image/logo to see exactly how many stars are on a bot. Higher numbers of stars may result in a slightly more exciting mouseover!!!
  
  
• Northern Cyprus can now be selected as a country - Thanks to El Hefe for the suggestion.

That should be everything! Let me know if you've spotted anything else that I'm forgetting - I can update the list as needed.
