Discord Bot which can communicate with Byond Game Servers and trigger the world/Topic() proc to execute server side code and retrieve information back from the server.
Before starting your bot you will need to invite it to your server first. I recommend using this for beginners: https://discordapi.com/permissions.html Your bot will need following permissions:
- Read Messages
- Embed Links
- Read Message History
- Send Messages
- Attach Files
- Mention @everyone
It's a bit more than the bot actually needs but if anything new is beeing added to the bot, it will already have the permissions to do it. Enter your bot client ID into the field down below in the Permission Calculator. You can get it from your bot application site where you created your bot. Next click on the link at the bottom and invite the bot to your server.
To configure the bot open the config.json file in the src folder and enter your bot token, globalCommandPrefix and ownerID. The byondTopic host settings have to be the address or domain of your byond game server, port is the port of your byond game server. the notifications settings contains role ID is to ping the user when he signed up to be notified for server startup. The last one byondImport is the settings for the webserver which listens to commands and messages from the byond game server, you can enable or disable it here and set the port it listens to.
