The Bot is back, enjoy! :D

[New Chat Member - Update]
Because Telegram stopped sending "User has joined the group (via invite link)" service messages in large groups, we had to change the way that Executrix detects new chat members to welcome them. Welcome messages should now work perfectly fine in groups of all sizes. However, note the following changes:

- The welcome message is no longer sent in reply to telegram's service message, even if present.

- Telegram's service message is no longer deleted if "DeleteSpamWelcomes" is enabled and a user joins and instantly leaves. Enabled "DeleteSpamWelcomes" will still stop Executrix from sending a welcome message for such spam joins, though.

- Executrix being a group administrator is now mandatory for it to send welcome messages.

Have a great day! :)

[Executrix: Welcome Bug]
Not sure if anybody noticed, but there has been a bug in Executrix that made it send a welcome message for people who were only being unbanned but not actually joining the group. Worry not: said bug is being fixed these seconds :)
Happy Wuffing!

[Bots Down]
Hey everyone, we are aware that all our bots are down at the time being.
We suspect that this is our server provider's fault, its own website was down right now as well.
Maybe it's already coming back, we are trying to bring the bots back to you! We will let you know when anything happens!

[Bots back!]
The server is back up and the bots are running again!
Happy wuffing! 🐺

[Downtime over]
Hey everyone, the bots have come back to life! Enjoy playing and nomming your friends again (are you hungry already?) 🐺

[Bots back]
After a while of being unstable, the werewolf bots appear to be working now after a lot of messing with the code!

Please note: If you have a custom GIF pack, you will currently not be able to change your GIFs. We will fix that as soon as we can. Also, if you encounter any bugs or unusual behavior, please stop by @werewolfsupport. Happy Wuffing! 🐺

[Christmas Event!] ❄️
Even though the bots are still a bit dizzy, we're starting this year's christmas event!
Come to our official Main and Vets groups to check it out :) 🎅🐺

[Patches]
Main bot should now show captions for gifs
Inline stats is fixed
That stupid Int32 error is gone
/nextgame command should properly notify now
/customgif uploading should work now
Various other minor bug fixes

If you were in a game already when this was deployed, you may have to wait until the next game to see the patches

[Website / Stats]
The website has been fixed, and the /stats command will now work again.
Happy Wuffing!

[Known Issues]
Hey everyone, since Telegram's 64-Bit-ID Update which broke this and that, most issues are fixed now. However, there remain a few issues which I want to list here, so you all are aware.

Werewolf: 🐺
- [RESOLVED ✅] Custom GIFs:
While displaying custom GIFs is working again on both bots, the code that downloads the GIFs to our server appears not working. In consequence, the beta bot currently doesn't display your GIFs if you changed them after the update. We're investigating how to fix this.

- Getstatus
The /getstatus command is out of order because the new version of the Telegram Bot library doesn't support handling connection errors in the way it did previously. We will think about how to implement this again.

Executrix: 🔨
- [RESOLVED ✅] Commands by username
Any commands that require a userhandle (/kick, /ban, /mute, /warn, /id, etc.) do not work with a username if the user's ID has more than 32 significant bits. This is due to an external API we use which in turn uses a library that is still not updated for 64-Bit-IDs properly. We will make it work as good as we can until that library is fixed. For now, using such commands by reply or with the numeric telegram ID should work perfectly fine.

- Using said banhammer commands by reply on people who post anonymously through a channel of theirs is not working yet.

[RESOLVED ✅] Donations: 💸
The donation options are currently broken. We're working on bringing them back up! If you still want to donate right now, ask us in the support group, we will work something out.

New Links 🔗
The new format for private group/channel links is not yet supported by our bots. Temporary workaround: Change the links to the old format manually. For example, if your group link is https://www.tg-me.com/+abcABC123, use the link https://www.tg-me.com/joinchat-abcABC123 instead.


If you know of any issues that we missed in this list, tell us in the support group! Sorry for all problems caused, and happy wuffing!

Bots should be back online now, sorry for the wait, we had some major server issues. Happy wuffing!

[Executrix: Support for new Spoiler entities]

As of the new telegram update, you can now use a new type of entity, spoilers, in your messages. Now that the bot api was updated as well, Trixy supports these out of the box. You can use <span class="tg-spoiler">Your spoiler text goes here</span> in extra commands, welcome messages, rules, etc. Just keep in mind that people who don't have an updated version of telegram will see the entire message as "unsupported" message if a spoiler entity is in it.

The message below this one is a spoiler, so you can see how it looks for you :)

[Custom GIFs on Beta Bot]
The source of the GIF download problem was found and hopefully fixed. If your gifs get approved from now on, they should work on beta bot again, hopefully.

If you submitted your GIFs in the last few days, we will approve them right now and you should be good.

If it was longer ago, and your GIFs are currently not working on beta bot, please re-submit your GIF pack, it should work again after we approve it again.

We will be working on getting the donation platforms back up :)

Happy Wuffing everyone! 🐺

The bots are currently having some trouble, this might be caused by Telegram itself. Give them some time to recover, we will let you know when they are back :)

The bots seem to be working now, enjoy! 🐺

Just a heads up, if anyone wants to help support Ukraine, you can send money directly to them here: https://savelife.in.ua/en/donate/

There are two options, help the army or support the fund
Supporting the fund helps the citizens directly, I'd suggest that (I'm sure the army has plenty of money.. I could be wrong though)

If you use Fondy to send, note that the currency is in UAH, so make sure you do a currency conversion and type in the UAH amount, not your local currency amount.

Also, if you feel like helping ddos the Russians, just open this page and leave it open :)

Be careful with DDOS attacks, they are illegal. Consider using a VPN if you still wanna do it.

Make love (and wolf), not war! 🐺
