Discord Broke BetterDiscord and Other Client Mods!

Discord released a new updated that completely obliterated client mods. BetterDiscord users stare at their screen as they see the "Plugin could not be compiled" error. Developers cry as thousands of mindless individuals ask the same question: "why doesn't BetterDiscord work anymore". Rejoice! A video is on its way to the interwebs, a video that explains the situation and shows people the current status of client mods.

F in the comments for the plugins that reached end of life due to Discord screwing client mod developers

Topaz was elite being able to host different plugins for different mods in the same environment. Hopefully something similar would come up soon though naturally it would be a pretty long wait. Big ups to Ducko for the effort on OpenAsar and thanks for the info on the different client mods available!

my friend installed so much clients on his account he himself didn't knew what was going on, and this update deleted them all for some reason but that's actually nice

This whole thing really reminds me of the Beat Saber modding community, because (almost) every time a major update gets released most of the mods are completely broken, and sometimes weeks for them to work again. This is also the time the game Beat Saber itself gets review bombed by some little kids who ask why they broke the mods, which is not their goal at all, they just want the game to be more stable and enjoyable. So I am really sorry for all the mod devs (and discord devs) who are always the victims of some mindless egoist creatures that sometimes don't realize that all of this, is. completely. free.

Hi, Aliucord developer here. We are still on v126021, which is the last stable version before Discord did the react native update (months ago). Our rewrite, AliucordRN is still in progress and will not be ready for release anytime soon. Albeit the chaos recently is only from the desktop mods as discord stripped module displayNames and exports for desktop

Update: We do not plan on continuing AliucordRN and will remain supporting the old app

glad you picked up on the satire of my tweet at 0:44 haha

This reminds me of the Cities skylines modding community. Every time there is a major game update it breaks most of the mods. It can take up to weeks for most of the big mods to get working again. Thankfully, the community is very fast acting and abandoned mods are often picked up and continued by other devs.

As a dev, thanks for telling the masses to not harass devs asking for plugins and whatnot. The GitHub issue tracker exists for a reason!

[HadesThePyro]

Things like this are why I wish Discord allowed client mods with a proper API.

Cumcord + OpenAsar

were the so amazing together, they made discord blazing fast & secure whilst also having a plugin & plugin store integrated so seamlessly with discord. It’s sad to see CC go as funny as the project was. It was truely amazing, design wise. Feature wise & most importantly performance wise. You will be missed. Cum!

[Psoewish]

Oh I see, I was wondering why my plugins disappeared lol. but I guess this is a good opportunity to check out some of the other modifications out there and see what everyone else is up to, since I've been on betterdiscord for so long.

I hope you enjoyed that pizza!

[Iggonic]

I like how ‘better discord discord server’ is a mouthful but ‘plugin compilation error update tracker’ isn’t

[ShougoAmakusa]

Thank you for being kind to the mod devs while showcasing this update!

[Marioa]

Discord: Oh no!
Also Discord: Anyway..
Also also Discord: Guess you will still have to use our outdated Electron version.

[boredstudent]

Discord has stated, that they are not particulary fans of mods, and it actually is against tos. And while they also haven't cracked down on modding, this kind of "recklessnes" is to be expected :(

And while it will likely break mods again, discord is in dire need of an electron update.

[That_ne_Dev]

I remember when I had to upgrade my discord bot to use slash commands it was such a complete pain in the ass so I dread to think of what this is like for these guys

[Isabelinc]

If you're on linux or macOS, there is a discocss which just injects custom css into your discord client (for theming and other layout changes)
it is so simple that it hasn't been updated in over a year

[lightre]

One of the things that upset me the most was Discord's mandatory switch to application commands.

[Break.]

for even more proof that discord didn't do this to 'sabotage' client mods, they also have to face some of these problems themselves, with a discord developer even requesting for a feature here (can't send the link rip), and mentioning the possibility of discord making a plugin to fix one of these issues (as they had previously done with babel)

btw shoutout to all the devs, just from having to fix my one plugin, i can understand how much effort people would have to put in to fix their many massive plugins

[DANI_EXXTACY]

damn i was wondering what happened to my mods
i hope things get fixed soon, but seriously there's no pressure.
it's just discord, no need to overwork yourself over this.

[lazo]

kinda sad that goosemod won't be continued, but still, i appreciated the time having it 👍
