CHANGELOG

Updates

What changed, newest first. Feature requests from server owners go straight into this list — most of what is below started as a message in a Discord.

v0.616 September 2026

Map votes that actually fire, public moderation, live whitelist

Map votes

Fixed: modes that report no score limit (KOTH) could never start a vote — the bot now learns the limit from finished matches of the same mode, or you set a plain trigger score
Fixed: a long rotation holding only a few different maps produced too few options; the rest now come from the full map list
Vote on the lighting in the same message — map and time of day are applied together when it closes
A vote that cannot be posted says why, in the log and to whoever started it, instead of running where nobody can see it

Moderation

Public or silent per action: tick which of kick, ban, unban, kill and team change are announced in game, wording is yours
Every command takes a visibility option — show or hide — for a single call
Hiding an announcement is its own permission, so admins can act quietly while other roles cannot

Whitelist

See who is in game right now: green dot, the server they are on, and their in-game name
Active and History are a filter now, and an entry that ran out is told apart from one an admin removed
Fixed: /whitelist add offered days while the bot read a duration, so every entry became permanent

Fixes

Signing in on wardogsbot.com kept bouncing back to the old address and never logged you in — the login now stays on the domain you are using, Steam linking too
/config crashed outright instead of showing the configuration

v0.516 September 2026

Rotation builder, Steam linking and the tools

Server control

Map rotation builder — reorder, add and remove entries in the dashboard and write them straight to the live server, with backups to roll back
Whitelist manager — paste a list of giveaway winners, give them any length from an hour to permanent, and extend or remove entries with one click; timed entries expire on their own
Map votes close before the match ends, so the winner really becomes the next map; the time limit is optional now
Optional in-game announcement when a vote opens

Players

Sign in with Steam to link your account — no more typing a code from in-game chat
The in-game code is repeated a few times while it is valid, for anyone who still uses it
Boosters get their whitelist the moment they link, even if they boosted earlier

Polish

New status panel: no colour bar, optional banner image, and one state button — green online, yellow restarting, red offline
Seed calls wait until the server has really been below the threshold — a map change no longer triggers them
Every line the bot says in game is editable, with placeholders
Mortar & artillery calculator at /tools/mortar

v0.416 September 2026

Permissions per role, whitelist, automation

Permissions

19 separate permissions per Discord role — pick a role, tick what it may do. No fixed tiers, no presets
Applies to the dashboard and the Discord commands alike; Manage Server always keeps full access

Automation

Naming

v0.316 September 2026

Several servers, reports and moderation

Multi-server

Up to 10 servers per Discord with one Warcon key; every command takes a server
Bans and whitelist entries apply everywhere, map and match control to the server you pick

Moderation

Player reports with clip evidence, decided by your admins
Cross-community network bans — only confirmed bans are shared, reporters stay anonymous
Ban appeals through a web form
Suspicious-performance alerts from kill rate and K/D (never an automatic ban)

Community

v0.215 September 2026

First public version

Everything to start with
