Updating to new release version

Download latest build and Extract into old version directory, unless otherwise specified.

• Existing database folder will be not overwritten by the update.
  • NOTE: any update of the default_config.js file will need to be merged manually by the user to the user's existing 'config.js file.
• Any edit done on default commands files will be lost. Consider backup or rename the files before update.
• Admin bot v3.0.5 or higher uses Node 16 which kills any application with critical exceptions. So its recommended to use PM2 or any program that restarts the bot.

FAQ

• Does Admin bot stores my ID and Password for Webfront ?

  • No, Admin bot retrieves cookies 🍪 from webfront which is saved and used for executing commands from Discord. Cookies are valid for 30 days or until host machine restart. You can successfully delete id and password in dm after login success message.

• Why does the connect in serverinfo command not working ?

  • Not all clients support direct connect. Even it supports I dont know its launch url. If you know the launch url for direct connect for any client contact me on Discord

• Why not use a proper Sqlite database instead of Json database ?

  • Sqlite Requires Node-Gyp which is a hassle for most windows users. So for Advanced Users Admin bot with Sqlite is available. There is no need for this tool in case of linux.
