ddnet-discordbot

Setup

Note: these steps will barely get the bot running, many more steps are required to enable everything the bot has to offer

1. Clone this repository with git
   • install the required python dependencies
2. Create a discord bot https://discord.com/developers/applications
   • in the 'Bot' tab, enable 'Presence Intent' and 'Server Members Intent'
   • in the 'Bot' tab, copy the token
3. Create the file config.ini in the repository source using the config_example.ini
   • insert the discord bot token
4. Install Postgresql
   • create a user with your os username
   • create a database with your os username as its name
   • import data/schema.psql into that database (psql -U <user-name> <database-name> -f data/schema.psql)
5. Create a discord server with all the required channels and categories
   • overwrite the channel and category ids in cogs/map_testing/__init__.py
   • to copy an id in discord, first enable Settings > Advanced > Developer Mode and then rightclick on the channel/category and select 'Copy ID'
6. Get external binaries
   • copy the render_map binary (originally from libtw2/render_map) from data/tools/render_map/render_map and place it in data/map-testing
7. Create directories
   • logs directory in the repository root
   • tmp directory in data/map-testing
8. Edit code that interact with ddnet-owned servers
   • in cogs/map_testing/__init__.py, comment out parts of the function bodies of the functions ddnet_upload, ddnet_delete, archive_testlog
   • in bot.py, comment out the 'cogs.status', line
9. Execute the file run.py with python
