2024.4.1

This is a maintenance release.

Important

Update 10/10/2024

A while ago, I previously stated that ChadMusic was going to be rewritten and rebranded. For now, I've decided to vault the rewrite for the time being and resume active development on this repository. I may return to rewriting the bot in the future, but it will be done on this repository in a seperate branch. I probably won't rebrand the project or anything of that nature since it's not really necessary to do so.

In regards to the Sign in to confirm you're not a bot and Status code: 403 errors, I'm well aware that this is an ongoing issue. As of right now, providing your cookies in the cookies.json file will no longer work if this error occurs. I will be implementing a fix for it in the future, but right now it's currently not my top priority to implement a fix for it at this time. If you have a valid IPv6 range address, try utilizing IP rotation for now.

Note

If the bot fails to build with the npm run build script, delete package-lock.json and the node_modules folder (if it exists), and run npm install.

• Changed: [Internal] hasExt function will now check if a file exists in Discord's CDN.
• Changed: [Internal] Merged all createAgent functions into one function.
• Fixed: Masked links for the Uploader field PlayerWindow showing undefined.
• Fixed: Build errors occuring when attempting to run the build script or from running npm install. (#21)
