Firebot v5 Beta Release Notes
Important info for Firebot V5 and the Beta: PLEASE READ!
- Firebot v5 represents a major overhaul of almost every part of the app. Because of this, v4 save files will not simply carry over.
- A v4 to v5 importer is NOW AVAILABLE. An option to import will appear in the Setup Wizard.
If you've already loaded v5, go to Settings > Open Setup Wizard to trigger it again.
- v4 and v5 can be installed at the same time, and v5 saves data in a different location than v4. So you can safely try out v5 while still having v4 around to reference or fall back to.
- Don't forget this is a beta so you might find some bugs. If you run into an issue, please drop by our Discord and let us know.
Beta 7 Change Notes
- Fixed bug that caused all events of same type to trigger when attempting to test a single event
- Fixed a bug that prevented the Cooldown Controls effect from functioning properly
- Fixed labels not showing correct font size in preview mode when font size was only a number
- Fixed an issue that caused V4 Effect Group and V4 Random Effect effects to import incorrectly
- Fixed a bug that caused effects after a custom script to not play if the custom script returned no effects
