Update BytExecutor now!
My main was terminated, and I happen to have InCommand on that account, since I found this plugin, I’ve decided it was a worthy replacement for InCommand in my workflow. Thanks for making this plugin and keep it up!
This looks nice
Not a like-for-like replacement for InCommand but a neat thing on its own nonetheless!
I was somewhat hesitant towards releasing this update because of the shear amount of hacks this required. However, I was already using quite a few before this, so here we go!

setfenv is used. Therefore, BytExecutor disables this feature by default and must be enabled in the settings. Speed comparison:
--Performance test used
local START = os.clock()
local t = {}
for i = 1, 1e6 do
t[i] = math.random(1, 10)
end
local END = os.clock()
print(END - START)

Actor, and due to plugin-related behavior, it can only support a finite number of them. As such, there are currently only 100 actors Byts can use, with Ids ranging from 1-100. Byts can only use one at a time (though this restriction may be loosened in future updates) and restricts access until execution is finished. It is recommended to have some sort of emergency exit condition since BytExecutor does not have a way to interfere with parallel Byts being executed.Changes
Allow Parallel Byt Proxied Execution option (this has nothing to do with the true parallelization added in this update)Fixes
This will probably be the last time I’ll tell you to update BytExecutor here, since there is an automatic reminder now. So… update BytExecutor now!

Power User Mode and Debug Mode options. Their exact purpose will be described in this postPower User feature.Use ScriptEditorService option, which fixes various issues with using BytExecutor in Team CreateChanges
. The last update introduced a lot of bugs that I didn’t catch earlier that completely broke parallelization. Fixing them would take too long, so I disabled it for nowBytAddress when Debug Mode is enabledFixes
Sandbox Byts During Execution descriptionSorry for not updating in a while. Real life messed me up for several months now and I still don’t have the time to work on BytExecutor. I’m still busy but I am programming when I can.
WARNING: Future versions of BytExecutor beyond v1.4.0 might corrupt your save data as I’m working on something which requires an overhaul as to how data is stored. I recommend you to backup any files regularly!
Additions
.BeforePause and .BeforeResume signals to Byt API.exportToModule function which replaces the function of .tableIntoModule (deprecated)Changes
