Firebot v5 Release Notes

MixPlay-small

Important info for Firebot v5: 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 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.

v5.3.0 Change Log

  • Added option to disable auto stat accrual for a viewer
    • This allows you to prevent a particular viewer from automatically earning currency, view hours, etc. Perfect for preventing your bot from showing up in Top Currency lists!

    • Option is defaulted to on for streamer and bot account on fresh installs
  • Further improvements to the Write To File effect

  • Added $chatMessage variable

    • If you have a gap in quote ID numbers that you really want to get rid of, you can use this option to fix it.
  • Added the Chat Messages count back to the Viewers table
  • Further accessibility improvements for connection buttons
  • Improved the UI for scrolling in the Events and Commands tabs
  • Improved the UI for the Quotes table
  • The v4 importer will now port over the "Enable Custom Scripts" setting when importing scripts
  • Fixed a bug that caused effects to trigger twice if the Control Emulation effect was present in an effect list on a MixPlay button
