Collectible name error

A while ago, you used to get a long error about localization when filling out the config. This was because people were putting capital letters or spaces for collectible-name, plural-collectible-name, and/or players-group-cog-name.

This has now been fixed in the official Ballsdex repo with a PR (#630) and spaces for collectible-name and plural-collectible-name are now allowed.

The bot will also automatically lowercase any capital letters you put in collectible-name and plural-collectible-name. However, keep in mind you cannot put spaces or capital letters in player-group-cog-name because Discord does not allow it.

In short, this error has been fixed by someone and we no longer need to worry about it.

I will only keep this section here because the function is not released in a version yet and others are still stuck on old versions where this issue still occurs.

Correct way to indent spawn messages

  caught_msgs:
    - "{user} You caught **{ball}**!"
  wrong_msgs:
    - "{user} Wrong name!"
  caught_msgs:
    - "{user} You caught **{ball}**!"
  spawn_msgs:
    - "A wild {collectible} appeared!"
  slow_msgs:
    - "{user} Sorry, this {collectible} was caught already!"
