New Features

• Added a web dashboard (dealbot.acdvs.dev)
  • Sign in with Discord to view and manage the bot (admin permission required)
  • Removed/sellers and /ignoredsellers commands in favor of the web dashboard
• Added a /settings command that shows all current settings and a link to the server's dashboard
• Added a per-server country setting (default: US) for more relevant results and localized currency
• Added a country option to /deals and /prices to override the server's default per-command usage

Changes

• Renamed /top to /stats
• Similar results response from /deals and /prices now auto-deletes after 30 seconds if no choice is made
• /help command now has a better layout and buttons for the bot's support server and changelog

New Features

• Autocomplete for /deals and /prices to find correct titles easier
• Autocomplete for /ignoredsellers commands to make adding/removing much easier
• /deals will show all prices (non-deals) if there are no deals (/prices can still be used for this)

Changes

• Historical low will show even if it isn't a price cut (e.g., $5 -> $5)

New Features

• Added a /prices command to get all prices for a game including non-deals.

Changes

• Price cuts of "-0%" are now properly considered non-deals and filtered out where necessary.
• The Historical Low for a game will not be shown if there has never been a discount.
• The Steam User Review for a game will not be shown if the game is not on Steam.

The bot has been completely rewritten in TypeScript with Prisma as the database API.

New Features

• Slash commands (/) have replaced regular chat commands ($). This was a change required by Discord due to their change in bot message permissions.

New features

• If a required permission is missing from the bot's channel permissions, it will send a message specifying which one.

Changes

• Result suggestion messages will be deleted completely after the user selects an option.
• Embeds for queries with no results will now still include an ITAD link, a game image, and any ignored sellers.
• Message caching has been greatly reduced to free up memory (very little caching is needed).

This release marks a big overhaul to store settings in a database to start supporting multi-server functionality. Additional features (e.g., role-based access) will be needed in the future to fully support multiple servers properly.

New features

• Multi-server support! See the readme for the bot invite link. No more manual setup required.
• $ignoredsellers clear command to remove all ignored sellers in one go (before, this process would've taken a potentially long time)

Changes

• The command rate limit is now three (3) seconds

New features

• Search assistant added to the $deals command to make searching for alternative titles faster

Changes

• Game titles will not be cut off after 50 characters anymore
• Upgraded search endpoint to v02 to avoid deprecation errors

New features

• $top command to get rankings for top most wishlisted, collected, and popular games

Changes

• Command rate limiting to prevent API overusage

Changes

• Deals list now shows as many deals as possible and will say how many hidden deals there are, if any

New features

• $sellers command to get a list of sellers for easier ignoring

Changes

• Prefix is now $ to better fit the $pirit of $ales
• Improved $ignoredsellers to use formal seller names instead of creepy internal IDs
• Ignored sellers are now lurking in the footer of the $deals embed so you never forget them
• Turned $help into an embed
• Removed ugly/useless embed timestamps

Bug fixes

• $deals will now direct you to the ITAD site instead of crashing the bot if there are too many results to fit in the embed
• Turns out the bot never actually checked for the correct prefix in the commands, so now it does
