[URGENT!] The Showdown server is extremely broken at the moment

Question

Something seems to have broken in a recent update to the Showdown server that causes battles to crash or fail starting. Here's the error as reported on the server, as well as the results of trying /hotpatch all:

Also see the errors posted by Staka in a comment below. This error appears to have worsened with time.

The error occurs for all battle formats. Could we get a fix? ^{...Pretty please?}

EDIT 15/05: Pretty much every feature of the server is now broken, per the comments below. /hotpatch all does nothing, as usual. Here is another lot of errors, from the Staff room (which is still working, for the time being):

The problem has gotten worse. The server doesn't do battles at all at the moment. :P

Don't worry, we're working on fixing it.

When challenging(as an alert):
> Your selected format is invalid:
- Mod base needs a generation number in scripts.js

:P

Dang, good thing the tournament just ended.

---

Chatrooms also don't load and attempting to make a groupchat fails.

---

Update&Bump: As of posting this, joining rooms seems to be broken, but PMs still work. :P

Edit: commands don't work at all anymore. :P

---

Now it does not work at all. I can't join lobby or any other chat room.  "The command "/autojoin" does not exist. To send a message starting with "/autojoin", type "//autojoin"

Can we give server-restarting powers to someone other than Pokemaster?

Sorry just seen this. I restarted the server and it seems to work ok. Everything was already up to date so not really sure what the exact problem was.
