These features are available to all users.

Economy Update - June 12th, 2024
Changes:
Added a "Troubleshooting" option in /ec admin so that users can reset specific economy related variables easily if needed
SUBCOMMANDS - Here is a list:
/give-money > /money give
/add-money > /money add
/remove-money > /money remove
/economy-leaderboard > /ec leaderboard
/economy-admin > /ec admin
/give-item > /item give
/shop > /shop view
/bank-deposit > /bank deposit
/bank-withdraw > /bank withdraw
/job-list > /job list
/shop-buy > /shop buy
/stats > /ec stats
/minigame-config > /ec config
/cooldowns > /ec cooldowns
/job-apply > /job apply
Fixes:
Increased /bank deposit cooldown to 6 hours. Should make depositing your money more strategic to avoid /rob
Enforced lower max bet for blackjack (2000 max). /blackjack can make doubling your money very easy, so setting a max bet to help stabilise any massive economy swings
Fixed blackjack issue for doubling. Doubling was causing an issue with checking if the user had enough to double the bet. This should be fixed
Money was not being deducted in /shop buy if the item already existed in the users inventory. This is fixed
In development, NO ETA: Farming, Roulette, Bank Robbing
Note: If you have made changes to your economy commands, updating will disable your edited commands but it will not delete them. If you want to enable your edited command again, just disable the new, updated command and re-enable your edited version.

Subcommands - May 31st, 2024
Today we are releasing the ability to turn your commands into subcommands. This allows you to define multiple commands under one parent command. This brings the maximum total amount of commands you can have on your bot from 100 to 2500.
To create a subcommand, simply create a command like normal and put a single space in the name. Each command can have up to 25 subcommands. Do note: If you turn a command into a subcommand, the parent command will no longer be useable. For example, if you have /subcommand 1 and /subcommand 2, you will no longer be able to use just /subcommand.
Subcommands allow you to group up related commands. For example:
/economy shop /economy buy /economy work
Economy Update - May 28th, 2024
We have released a major update to the new Economy module! Users who have used the Economy module and added the economy emojis to their server MUST upload them again. You can do this in /minigame-config Due to the large number of changes, we recommend updating the module and resetting to default. This will NOT reset your users currency balances If you would like to start completely fresh for this update then please run /economy-admin and press "Reset Server Economy" after updating Here is a list of the most notable changes:
Shop is back - you will find the new shop inside the module in the dashboard. It works the same as the old shop with some added options
Updated the module to use object variables - This will eliminate all "undefined" issues people were experiencing before
Job Rework - Jobs are customizable from inside the module on the dashboard, just enable "Advanced Jobs" to see a customizable list
You can now add your own commands and events right inside the module. Just click the "Add" button in the command or event list inside the module page.

Many, many, many other balance changes to currency amounts, formatting and various fixes
Cocreate Rework - May 28th, 2024
We have pushed an update and total rehaul of the Cocreate module. This update aims to bring the module up to date and open it up to all users. Changes include:
Renaming the module to Collab
The module is now free for everyone to use and has no limits.

The module now cannot be enabled/disabled. To disable anyone working on your bot, simply remove all the collaborators of that bot.
All old cocreators have been imported into the module. Please go to the module page to check for any old cocreators you no longer want and remove them.
Object Variables - May 14th, 2024
Today we are releasing a new type of variable: Object variables. Object variables let you set key value pairs for a variable, and access them with dot notation. This is especially useful to cut down the amount of variables you have as one variable can have multiple different keys. For example: {BGVAR_user_inventory.count} {BGVAR_user_inventory.full} {BGVAR_user.name} {BGVAR_user.profile} {BGVAR_user.currency} Object variables can be channel, user and guild specific like other variables.

Dashboard Saving Optimizations & Builder Input Improvements - March 1st, 2024
Saving Optimization We have changed the way bots are saved through the dashboard. This fix is aimed at larger bots which had problems saving due to the size of larger commands and events. If you had problems saving your bot in the past please log into the dashboard and force a save to reduce the size of your bot. Overall this change should make saving faster for all users. Variable Editor on all Inputs The variable editor clipboard has been added to all inputs that support it in the builder. This should make it much easier to use variables and options in all actions/conditions.
New Premium Module: Emoji Manager - February 25th, 2024
We are releasing a new server management module, that will help you manage emojis in your server. The module allows you to create new emojis, copy existing emojis from other servers to yours and restrict certain emojis to selected roles.
You're also able to configure role- and permission-based access, and customise the visual settings of certain commands. The key features of the module are copying emojis and restricting them to roles, as that's not available as a feature in the regular client. This new module is now available for all premium users.
Module Rewords: Translation and Autoresponder - February 23rd, 2024
We want to ensure that our users have the best experience with modules, while also being able to customise them to their liking. This is why we revamped both the Translation and Autoresponder modules, which are available now. The Translation module now uses DeepL as the main source, we've chosen this service due to it providing reliable translations. In addition, users will now need to use their own DeepL key for the module, with an option of 500.000 characters translated / month, free of charge. Please check the docs for steps on how to get a key. This rework is only available for premium users. The Autoresponder module now offers more options, such as channel cooldowns and choosing whether the user should be mentioned or not. This rework can be accessed by both free and premium users.

5 Reworked Modules - February 12th - 2024
As we want to ensure the upmost stability, reliability and high level of customisability of our modules, we have reworked 5 old hard-coded modules: Twitch, YouTube, Statistic Channels, Timed Messages and the Active Developer Badge modules. These newer versions of the modules provide more options for you to customise, and can also be edited to your exact preferences thanks to the custom module system. To also ensure the Twitch and YouTube modules stay reliable, you'll need to provide your own API keys from now on. The creation of keys is free of charge at both providers, and we've put together documentation to guide you though the process. If you get stuck while setting up any of the modules, please always check the documentations linked below.
Reworked Modules:
Upcoming Custom Module Changes - February 10th, 2024
Data usage removed from Custom Modules Today we are announcing some upcoming changes to the way custom modules work on BotGhost. Previously, custom modules built with commands and events used data storage and custom variables in their operation. This means that free users quickly used up all their data storage for the month just by using custom modules. Today we are removing custom modules from the data storage system, meaning all custom module commands/events will no longer use data storage. This should simplify how the new modules work and keep custom commands, events and data storage separate from the BotGhost modules.
Custom Module Classification changes Due to custom modules no longer being restricted by data storage for free users, we are changing a number of our custom modules to premium for new users. This change will not take effect today and any users who currently have the 'free' version of these modules will not be effected as long as they do not update the module. The current modules being changed are:
Counting: (Free ▶️ Premium) ChatGPT: (Free ▶️ Premium) Image Generation: (Free ▶️ Premium) Modmail: (Free ▶️ Premium) Welcome Banners: Moved into Welcomer [Locked features] Verification: (Free ▶️ Premium) Sticky Messages: (Free ▶️ Premium) Discord Automod: (Free ▶️ Premium) Auto-react: (Free ▶️ Premium) Reaction Roles: Unchanged Starboard: (Free ▶️ Premium) Global Chat: Unchanged Roblox Verification: Unchanged Leveling Leveling
Level Card: (Free ▶️ Premium)
Voice EXP: (Free ▶️ Premium)
Polls: (Free ▶️ Premium) Temp Voice Channels: Unchanged Media Channels: Unchanged Invite Tracker: (Free ▶️ Premium) Suggestions: Unchanged Sticky Roles: Unchanged QOTD: Unchanged These changes will take effect from 12th of February for new users. All free users who do not update their modules after this date will keep the free version of these modules.
New Modules Over the next few days we will also be releasing a whole bunch of new custom modules replacing a number of the old outdated hard coded modules. Modules that were free will mostly remain free (Moderation, economy, Automod etc) in the future.
TLDR:
Custom modules don't use data storage anymore
Due to that a number of modules are going premium for new users
If you are a free user don't update these modules and you wont be effected
New custom modules coming out soon to replace old outdated broken hard coded modules.

While the module comes with pre-written questions by default that don't require any setup, you also may choose to add your own questions. Additionally, you can customise the daily message, set up various thread settings, make sending answers private and you can select roles to ping for the daily message.
This module is now available for all premium users.
New Premium Module: Sticky Roles - January 9th, 2024
We have developed a new module, that allows you to save the roles of members if they leave, and give them back once they rejoin.
The module can be customized in a few ways, you can choose not to save roles of the user was kicked or banned, you can whitelist or blacklist roles to save, and you can set up a custom direct message, with a list of roles that the user got back that is sent once they rejoin.
Sticky Roles is only available for users with an active premium subscription.
