I made this a few years back (November 2017). I basically made it in a night and published it as a Discord bot, and I never looked back at the code. Today I would've probably rewritten a lot of the functions, because what I have here is really, really ugly. But, it works quite well.
As of 10th of March 2021 at 10:58 PM (hey it's my birthday in an hour) 288.879 commands have been executed by this bot, and over 1200 servers have it installed with 95.000+ members in total.
To run this on your own server, you need a few things installed first.
- MongoDB
- NodeJS
- NPM
Once you have those things installed, clone this repository and restore the dump from the dump/ directory:
mongorestore -d warmane -c items dump/items.bson
The dump contains a list of all World of Warcraft 3.3.5a items, as well as their GearScore, which was calculated by a script I made by reverse engineering the original GearScore AddOn. The items are important, because we actually need some of the item's stats to determine the GearScore (as you can see in the getGearScore function).
Once the MongoDB database has been restored, you need to open app.js and edit a few things. You need the username, the password, and the database name (if you used the mongorestore command above, the database will be warmane).
Then you need to create a Discord application. I cannot remember exactly what you need to do, but here's a link to the page: https://discord.com/developers/applications
You need to get the Bot token, which can be found here:
and replace that in the app.js file as well.
Next, simply install the packages by running:
npm install
Once you're done, run node app.js and it will start the bot. I would personally run it as a service, but you can do it however you want.
A regular invitation link looks like this:
https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?&client_id=369568063781339152&scope=bot&permissions=0
If you go to your bot's Discord developer page, you can find the ID for your bot here:
Simply replace the client_id in the URL with your bot's ID.
