Release v5.66.3

v5.66.3 Update Notes

Warning

The existing Show Text effect has been changed in two important ways:

1. Variables (e.g. $username) used in the text field of that effect are now processed to automatically safely appear on the overlay. If you had any variables that output raw HTML, that HTML will no longer work. You should migrate those to the Show HTML effect which allows advanced HTML input.
2. The existing Show Text effect has been deprecated and will be removed in a future Firebot update. There is a new Show Text effect that more closely aligns with modern overlay effect configurations. However, this new version does not allow any HTML usage. If you require the use of HTML, please use the Show HTML effect. Otherwise, migrate to the new Show Text effect immediately.

Note

As announced in the Firebot 5.65 release notes, Run Sequential Effect and Run Random Effect are now deprecated and can no longer be added to effect lists. While they will continue to function for now, we highly recommend migrating to the new Sequential (Single) and Random effect list run modes immediately.

🛠️ Improved

• When clicking "Reply" on a chat message in the Dashboard, Firebot now focuses the cursor on the chat message input box
• The chat message input box now has a character limit of 500, matching Twitch's chat message limit (#3496)
• Several settings have been updated to use the standard toggle switch button instead of confusing buttons or dropdowns (#3472)
• Incoming Raid events from the same raiding user may now reoccur after 1 hour instead of waiting a full 12 hours (#3448)

While they will continue to function for now, we highly recommend migrating to the new Sequential (Single) and Random effect list run modes immediately.

✨ New

• Chat Overlay Widgets! This long-awaited feature is finally here: You can now display your channel's chat feed directly in your Firebot overlay! (#3272)
  • Chat: While the design of the standard chat widget itself is fairly basic, we've added a ton of settings so you still have lots of control over how your chat will appear on your overlay, including fonts, showing/hiding specific elements, /me & highlighted message display settings, and much more.
  • Chat (Advanced): However, if you're looking to fully customize your chat widget, there's also an advanced version of the chat overlay widget. With the advanced version, you supply your own HTML and CSS to create a chat widget that looks exactly the way YOU want!
• Twitch Custom Power-Ups! We worked closely with Twitch to launch this feature side-by-side with Twitch's rollout to all eligible streamers! Similar to channel rewards, custom power-ups allow you to have any number of effects run when someone redeems them. However, these will actually earn you bits! Just create your custom power-up on the Twitch dashboard, open Firebot, and add whatever effects you like.
• Twitch Watch Streaks! We've added the Watch Streak event along with some supporting variables. (#2960)
• You can now specify clip duration and an optional custom title when using the Create Clip effect (#3447)

  • Watch Streak
• Added the following new variables:
  • $channelPointsAwarded

• Viewers without a username color set will now have a random color assigned for the duration of a Firebot session
• Command descriptions now display as an information icon next to a command trigger (#1946)
• We now try try retrieve the highest possible quality emotes from BTTV and FFZ (#3487)

Release v5.65.0

v5.65.0 Update Notes

Note

Due to Twitch API changes, sub gift events no longer include the total number of months the recipient has been subscribed to the channel. Therefore, the $giftSubMonths variable and the months parameter of the $giftReceivers variable have been deprecated in Firebot.

✨ New

• Overlay Alert Effect! Have you ever setup an alert that plays on stream whenever something cool happens, like a follow or sub, but had to setup multiple effects just to show the one alert? Not anymore! We've added the new Overlay Alert effect that rolls a bunch of features into one simple action. Using this effect, you can display an image or video, text with color-accented fields, and even play a sound all at once! If you've created or used overlay alerts on other platforms before, this should feel very familiar.
• Overlay Widgets! This long-awaited feature is finally here! These are persistent items that stay on your overlay. Many of them are great for tracking things like channel goals or subathons, but you can use them however you like. In this first release, we've added several simple overlay widgets to get you started, or if you want to get extra creative, you can supply specific HTML and JavaScript to create your own Custom Widgets that you can tweak exactly the way you want. We're looking at adding additional widget types in the future, so stay tuned! Here are the widget types available in this release:
  • Countdown Timer
  • Countdown to Date
  • Counter Display
  • Current Date/Time
  • Custom Widget
  • Custom Widget (Advanced)
  • Image
  • Progress Bar
  • Text
• New Firebot profile page! Beginning with Firebot 5.65, anytime a viewer uses the !commands command, they'll be directed to a new Firebot profile page that's easy to remember - because it's your Twitch username! Check it out here
• Effect List Run Modes! All effect lists can now set their own run mode. Starting with this release, effect lists will have the following run modes:
  • Sequential (All) (default) - This is how effect lists run by default today, running every effect in the list in order anytime the associated trigger fires.
  • Sequential (Single) - This behaves like and will replace the Run Sequential Effect effect.
  • Random (Single) - This behaves like and will replace the Run Random Effect effect.

Note

Starting in Firebot 5.66, we will hide the Run Sequential Effect and Run Random Effect effects. These will continue to work if they've already been setup, but we highly recommend migrating to the new effect list run modes immediately by changing them to the Run Effect List effect type.

• Webhooks! [EXPERIMENTAL] Thanks to the new Crowbar API service that powers the new profile page, you can now receive webhooks in Firebot! When you add a new webhook, the service will assign it a URL that you can use with services that support sending webhooks.
  • Wanna see webhooks in action? Check out the brand new Ko-fi, Fourthwall, and GitHub plugins!
  • Please note that this feature is experimental and may experience issues as we continue refining it.
• Effect Queue Monitor! You can now view the effects in your effect queues in real time. You can even pause or clear them if necessary. (#2817)
• Dashboard Settings! We know that chat settings could be hard to find and needed a little updating, so we added a brand new Dashboard page to Settings. These contain all the settings that were in the previous chat settings popup, but redesigned and with added options to quickly edit Quick Actions and the Activity Feed, plus two brand-new options: Reverse Chat Order and Show Activity Feed Events in Chat. Still want access to those settings from the Dashboard? No problem! The Dashboard settings button is now bigger and easier to find. (#3205) (#3133)
• Event Set Reordering! We know many of you have event sets for a lot of different reasons, whether it's something simple like grouping similar events, or more complex scenarios like separating events based on specific themes or scenes you have setup in OBS. We also know folks have been wanting a way to reorganize those sets for a while, and now you can! (#2194)
• Global Values! These are static values that are available from any trigger type via a variable (like $!myGlobalValue), whether it's commands, events, timers, etc. You can use global values for anything, from commonly reused words/phrases to sensitive data like API keys. These can be configured from Settings > Advanced > Global Values. (#3114)

Caution

While secret values aren't displayed on screen in the Firebot UI, the value itself is stored in your settings.json file in plain text and will be inserted anywhere you use the variable, so as with any other sensitive data, exercise caution when using/displaying it.

• Support for Shared Chat Messages in the Dashboard!
• Support for Shared Hype Trains and Treasure Trains!
• Support for Twitch Power-ups! (#3208)
• Added Manual effect queue type (#2818)
