Which guild are these?
The ones that failed recently and caused the bot to crash. I don’t keep guild name right now so I’m not sure. I assume most just decided to remove the bot and since I didn’t have an elegant way to clear their ID from the file it would fail because it tried to message that channel and had no access. I know I need to fix that but sometimes these are people that add and just don’t have perms right so it fails. I figured I would just list it so people can check to see if they noticed the bot wasn’t working for them…
Otherwise if you have been getting alerts or did posts and had no problems and then haven’t changed your permissions then things should be fine… we have like 30 guilds in the list and all are ok minus these 3 I pulled lately.

OK Ty for info all good Here for me to Post hunts useing the Tool.
Ty 
I wanted to give an update on where I stand with the new version of the bot (completely rewritten from the ground up) that will be moving to “slash” commands. These are commands that start with a “/” and is the newer way that Discord is pushing bots toward. I’ve also added a backend database that will help a lot in growing features.
I’m basically done with all coding and am working on making sure the migration process is as limited as possible for anyone that uses the bot. So far it is looking like it will be very easy for everyone if not even hands off. I had wanted to have everything done over this past Thanksgiving break but wasn’t able to complete all the testing. I also want to redo the original post in this thread with the new instructions on how to set up the bot for any new users and discuss migration/new commands, etc.
I plan to have everything flipped over before Christmas (this weekend or next) and also provide a small window where the old “.posthunt” command will still work along with the new way hunts will be posted. There are a few other features I wanted to add but decided to release the new bot now and I can add those additional commands pretty easily in January or something after I code them.
Lastly, for me to do the update, I will need to take the bot offline for a few hours while I switch everything over and test it out and import the existing discord servers so no one will need to reregister. I’ll give a heads up when that is happening here.
Thank you to everyone that continues to use and support the bot. I really hope people are finding it helpful…

BOT MIGRATION STARTED
Please be aware I’ve started the process to migrate OortAdonai (Boundless Hunting Bot) over to the new version. Please do not use the bot until I send a message that it the migration is done. It should be done soon.

Hello everyone…
OortAdonai (the Boundless bot for hunts and more) and been upgraded. As far as I can tell everything migrated over ok and I see all the previous discord servers and all their settings. So everyone should be able to start using the bot.
Do note that I will be removing the old “.” commands soon so get used to using the “/bb” command as soon as you can.
Thanks for your patience in waiting for the new version… Now that I have it I should be able to bring more features faster!
One other thing to note is there are 34 servers that have the bot installed but only 31 that seem to be active. If you aren’t seeing the bot work, then remove the integration and reinstall it like it was new. I’d like to have those with possible messed up installs fixed.
Please go to the original post in this thread for all the details on the bot. I’ve updated it with the new details: Boundless Bot - Hunts and more! but quick notes here if you want a fast update:
### Migration from old bot version :
Like any migration there might be an issue or something missed or could hiccup with settings, etc. If there is let me know.
- All existing “.” commands will not work beyond “.testhunt” and “.posthunt” which I’ve allowed to stay for a week or two as backup incase there are issues. Also you don’t directly PM the bot anymore. Note that all users should be able to start using the “/bb” slash commands immediately except for the “Harbingers of Death” discord because it seems they don’t allow slash commands for this bot. If you know the owner or someone in that server please let them know to update their permissions.
- If you used the previous bot version I’ve imported your discord server details. You will not need to readd the bot. I do suggest you check your configuration to make sure it is setup like you want for your Discord server. Use these two commands to make sure you are ok : “/bb config listconfig” and “/bb config checkperms”
- If you want to change your hunt channel use : /bb config huntchannel
- The bot supports “mention” notifications which will ping a certain role if you want that feature. This only works if you have given the bot the “mention_all_users” or have the hunt ping role you want to use as being set to allow “mentions.” Use this command to set that role : /bb config huntrole
NOTE : The bot now supports a feature where it can add or remove people to that role if you have given it the “manage_role” permissions. Once configured, hunters can add/remove the hunt ping role themselves with this command : /bb hunter huntping
- I’ve moved hunt test and post commands for notifications to a form modal solution to improve the posting experience. The form still supports markdown language but please test things out thoroughly before using it. I plan to have a lot more feature improvement in this area soon, but the first step was just to get it in place. Use this command for the form : /bb hunter posthunt
NOTE : At this point any person that has the ability to run slash commands for this bot will have the ability to post hunts to all discord servers that is using this bot and have “hunt channels” enabled. I do plan to change this next and limit the ability to post hunts to a specific “hunt leader” role on each discord server so that the administrators of that server have more control. I’ll still have the global hunt post but at least people will have to be approved on a discord server to initially run the command.
- I suggest you look through all the new commands. If you have ANY questions or concerns or problems please contact me here on the forum, in discord, or by using my new report command in the bot : /bb reporttodev

I was trying to help with the form by breaking out the time, location, and meetup for people to have an easier way of posting stuff. The additional area was for all the main stuff people post.
If everyone really liked having a single window let me know. I am planning on having people be able to save their messages so they don’t even have to paste them in each time. That is the next feature that is going to be released for hunt leaders.
Just give me your thoughts…

I like the idea of saving all the info so we don’t have to copy and paste but I personally like the old way so I can format it the way I like. FREEDOM!!! lol Amazing job by the way, HUGE fan of your work.
new form is nice as you don’t have to keep a copy of your post to paste. But the old way I like better as unless I am changing information I don’t have to type anything extra, just copy and paste
I’ve not fully transitioned over to the new format I’m completely clueless when it comes to discord 
I used the old format today for my hunt. I had anxiety and thought I’d mess it up 
so I stuck with what I knew.
I know the instructions are really straightforward it’s not a you problem it’s 100% me and transitioning to the new change. I will get there I just need a little patience. Thank you for allowing to still be able to use the old format.
Feedback heard. I’ve made the form back to a single window for now since there is no need to enter other data that isn’t being used in other areas by the bot. So you can format your message however you want for now in a single window. I still do want more fields at some point, but until I’ve finished coding the “post save” feature for hunt leaders and the hunt calendar feature I want, I will just keep it easy for now.
All good… I’d do some tests first with the new way to make you feel good about it. Just use the: ‘/bb hunter posthunt’ but select the test option. You can do that as much as you want until you are comfortable. Also, now that I removed the other fields and only have 1 window you can literally paste the same text there that you would have had after the old ‘.posthunt’ message.
I’d like to have the old commands gone but christmas but take your time since we have a whole month till then. :). If you have any questions or need help let me know.
I’ve been thinking about allowing a hunt notification to only YOUR own discord and not a global one. Would that be helpful to anyone? Or is the “test” option enough?

I like it going out global as it lets others not in your discord see it. But if it was like a option to select i am sure people might use it for Guild or friend hunts?
Yeah I definitely would have both and keep global. I just wasn’t sure if there are people that do guild only hunts and if a post would even really help.
i would not make a guild only thing for the bot its a waste of your time those guilds already just send it in privite

I will do thanks for that advice I appreciate it. I’m a creature of habit and it takes me a little time to adjust. I’ve only just recently started using it as well. I’ll be fine in a few days 
I’ll do some testing later today.
Makes sense the sooner people transition over the better. I do like the look of the new layout though.
Thanks for all the help
As for the last bit I like that idea but as some have said they’d just message privately if they were setting up a private hunt.

Thank you @Tiggs.
BTW, the hunter ping is enabled as well if you want to be pinged when hunts show.
BIG THANK YOU TIGGS!

So last week someone made some changes to their server that kind of messed up my bot logic for permissions and sending messages. I removed them since it was the simplest answer till I could solve long term. It seems something else happened on a server or is really bad with my logic in detecting people that adjust their server settings but not update the bot settings.
It seems to be sending the pings but not the messages. Basically working sometimes and not others.
I’m going to try to fix it today and this weekend so the bot will likely be all over the place. So you can try to use it but it will be up and down. I’ll give updates here and over the bot.
Thanks for your patience.
