PALACE BAY is a simple, text-based music bot compatible with YouTube and SoundCloud built on discord.js. This bot is generally self-hosted or ran on a dedicated server such as a Raspberry Pi. The bot runs on Node.js and uses the play-dl library to function.
The music bot also responds to voice commands as well. Edit your config.json to include your desired keyword to invoke the voice commands. Most commands should be compatible with voice but not all.
If you choose your keyword to be 'music', for example you would invoke the play command by saying 'music play mood lil uzi' or skip the song with 'music skip'.
The bot does not record any voice or sound and only responds if you say your desired keyword. You can also opt not to install the speech recognition library/comment out the relevant code if you don't want to use the voice commands.

- The bot currently runs on discord.js v14 and Node.js v18.12.1 and depends on play-dl to function.
- You will also need FFmpeg and an audio encryption package to play music through Discord. I recommend following their official guide here.
- Run
npm installin your console when in your bot's directory to install all the required dependencies. - In order to complete setting up your bot, follow this guide on how to fill out your config.json.
- Finally, to run your bot, install Visual Studio Code and navigate to your bot's folder. You can run
node .ornode main.jsin your terminal to activate the bot. The console should print out an initial message indicating the bot has come online.
