Bringing Infinite Flight to Discord

Skylink IF

Brining Infinite Flight to Discord. Check out our website. Also, I want to give credit to velocity23 for his Infinite Flight API Typescript library and Kevin Novak for providing the Discord Bot Typescript Template.

Skylink-IF is an Infinite Flight Discord Bot that is actively being developed. How can we make Infinite Flight more fun for you? Put your ideas here: https://forms.gle/NM17sCK82Wn75K337

Setup

1. Copy example config files.
   • Navigate to the config folder of this project.
   • Copy all files ending in .example.json and remove the .example from the copied file names.
     • Ex: config.example.json should be copied and renamed as config.json.
2. Obtain a bot token.
   • You'll need to create a new bot in your Discord Developer Portal.
     • See here for detailed instructions.
     • At the end you should have a bot token.
3. Modify the config file.
   • Open the config/config.json file.
   • You'll need to edit the following values:
     • client.id - Your discord bot's user ID.
     • client.token - Your discord bot's token.
4. Install packages.
   • Navigate into the downloaded source files and type npm install.
5. Register commands.
   • In order to use slash commands, they first have to be registered.
   • Type npm run register to register the bot's commands.
     • Run this script any time you change a command name, structure, or add/remove commands.
     • This is so Discord knows what your commands look like.
     • It may take up to an hour for command changes to appear.

Start Scripts

1. Normal Mode
   • Type npm start.
   • This runs the bot directly with Node and without shards.
   • Use this mode if you don't need sharding.
2. Dev Mode
   • Type npm start:dev.
   • This runs the bot with ts-node-dev.
   • Use this mode for general development.
   • TypeScript files are compiled automatically as they are changed.
