Redesign Fearless Update Notifications
#1
Title of Suggestion: Redesign Fearless Update Notifications

Description
Replacing the old '=== New Update ===' with a cool looking Discord Embed.

Why?

Current Format
(Personal opinion)
This is more confusing than informative.

Suggested Format
My idea would be changing this default template to a nice embed:

A link to an embed visualizer is here (no advert)

The JSON for the embed in the image is this:
Code:
{
 "embed": {
   "description": "**_New Update_**",
   "color": 4243648,
   "timestamp": "2019-01-29T18:17:52.782Z",
   "footer": {
     "icon_url": "https://www.fearlessrp.net/uploads/avatars/avatar_18560.jpg?dateline=1548327741",
     "text": "by Arny"
   },
   "thumbnail": {
     "url": "https://cdn.discordapp.com/icons/320235469004603392/50563fad07c1a7a5debcd65e2513d7cb.png"
   },
   "fields": [
     {
       "name": "__Banned a prop__",
       "value": "models/mark2580/gtav/yacht_map/shell/yacht_main_shell_prt1.mdl\nFar too big, will never be used as it covers Grassy Field :/"
     }
   ]
 }
}

Feel free to suggest (or make) changes to that and post them.
But I really want to get rid of the old notification format.

Maybe you should even leave the 'New Update' text away anyway,
as it's posted in the updates channel and should be clear ^^



Pros:
- Looks nicer and clearer
- Possible to name the developer
- Possible to name the date of the change (if the message is sent at another time)
- Possible to add an image for more information to some changes

Cons:
Can't think of any right now. If you do, feel free to post them ^^





An example for an update with an image:

JSON for this one is:
Code:
{
 "embed": {
   "title": "__Changed MB Box Sprinter Van__",
   "description": "Added a guy waving to the dudes driving behind you.",
   "color": 4243648,
   "timestamp": "2019-01-29T18:17:52.782Z",
   "footer": {
     "icon_url": "https://fearlessrp.net/uploads/avatars/avatar_17944.png?dateline=1546199155",
     "text": "by TASSIA710"
   },
   "thumbnail": {
     "url": "https://cdn.discordapp.com/icons/320235469004603392/50563fad07c1a7a5debcd65e2513d7cb.png"
   },
   "image": {
     "url": "https://i.imgur.com/9ubblRw.jpg"
   }
 }
}
(Also moved the title and description from fields (which allow more changes to be named in one embed) to the embeds title and description)
(Kinda confusing for non-developers, developers may understand)

-Support, I think the current update notifications are just fine informative and simple.

The current notifications are fine, I see where you are coming from but there is no reason to change a perfectly fine system.

Okay the system is fine how it is.

And yes its simple and easy to read.

BUT, surely this would tidy it up a little? Make it look better....

+Support.

I don't see a reason why to not +support this? No harm in changing it, to make it look more aesthetically pleasing and can give players more information on an update.
