About

A fun Discord bot based on the indie game Baba Is You (by Arvi Teikari). This bot was written with the discord.py library for Python 3.x.

Functionality

A list of all commands can be seen using the help command. (By default, the bot has a prefix of +.)

This bot primarily features rendering and animation of tiles in Baba Is You (through the tile and rule commands), as well as Baba Is You levels (using the level command).

Example command:

Example output:

NOTE: Output is in the form of an animated gif. Try the commands yourself for the best experience.

To Host This Yourself

Please follow the terms of the license!

Install the requirements: pip install -r requirements.txt.

Run the bot using python3 ROBOT.py.

(The bot may not work properly on Windows, as it makes use of some unix-ish shell commands for the convenience of the programmer.)

Required files

Bot configuration is in config.py. It contains the following values:

activity: str - A "playing" message to set at login.
description: str - A description to use in the help command.
prefixes: list[str] - A list of strings that can be used to trigger commands.
trigger_on_mention: bool - Whether or not bot @mentions will behave as a command prefix.
webhook_id: int - The ID of a webhook to report command errors to. Requires the manage webhooks permission in the webhook's channel.
embed_color: discord.Color - The color of embedded messages.
log_file: str - The file to report logs to.
cogs: list[str] - A list of strings -- cogs to load into the bot.

In addition, authentication information should be placed in auth.py:

token: str - The bot token.

If the bot complains about missing files or directories in cache/ or target/, create them.

Setup commands (bot owner only)

<> denotes a required argument, and [] denotes an optional argument.

loaddata Collects tile metadata from values.lua, editor_objectlist.lua, data/worlds/baba/*.ld files and data/custom/*.json files, and saves it to disk. The following commands are also available, but it is strongly recommended to use loaddata.
loadletters Scrapes individual letter sprites from image sprites in data/sprites/*, as well as pre-made letters from data/letters/**/* and places the results in target/letters/.
loadmap <world_name> <level_id> Reads and renders an animated GIF of the provided level. world_name should be baba in most cases. The level metadata is untouched. Useful for re-rendering levels changed in an update without re-doing everything.
loadmaps Reads and renders every single level in data/levels/baba/. Also collects metadata.
To load tile data, run the loaddata command. To load letter data (for custom text), run the loadletters command. To load and pre-render levels, run the loadmaps command.
