discordbot

A bot that does the discord thing.

node bot.js [--token=<DiscordBotToken>] [--ytapi=<GoogleApiKey>] [--owner=<DiscordTag>] [--prefix=<Char>] [--game=<String>] [-i=<Boolen>]

The arguments are optional because the token and youtube-api-key that the bot needs to run can also be defined in the config.json in the bot's directory:

// config.json
{
  "prefix": "_",
  "presence": "STRING",   // this will be shown when no presences are set in data/presences.txt
  "presence_duration": 300000,  // how long does the bot have one presence
  "api": {
    "botToken": "YOUR DISCORD BOT TOKEN",   
    "youTubeApiKey": "YOUR YOUTUBE API KEY"
  },
  "owners": [
    "DISCORD NAME"  // specify a list of bot owners that can use the owner commands
  ],
  "music": {
    "timeout": 300000
  }
}

If the keys are missing from the config file, the bot exits. This behaviour can be deactivated by setting the -i commandline flag.

Features

At the moment the bot can...

• ...play music (YouTube videos and playlists)
• ...save songs/playlists with a given name
• ...log stuff in a database
• ...transform into a cow

Presences

You can add presences to the bot either by owner command addpresence or by providing a presences.txt file in the data directory. Each line represents a presence.

When all lines are loaded by the bot, the file gets deleted.
