for alora discord bot

discord-bot-2-template

A template for my future bots.

Prerequisites

• Create a bot on Discord Developer Portal — My Applications

• You would need MESSAGE CONTENT INTENT in your bot page set as ON

  

  While most other stuff can be left disabled, way too many functions (mentions, DMs, etc) rely on this. My advice: just leave it enabled.

Code setup

1. I think I don't need to write this but still

   git clone
   cd discord-bot-2-template
   # python -m venv venv

2. Create a .env file in the root directory, .env.example is provided as a template.

   cp .env.example .env
   # modify .env as needed

3. Install dependencies and run:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   python ./main.py

4. If you want to, check this tutorial

TODOs

• message sending queue for slow mode
  • maybe check kafka...maybe.
• background loop that runs timed stuff (e.g. countdowns)
• tbc

Credits

• discord.py
• discord.py official examples
• Random GPT bot that I used as my 1st bot template
• python - How do i make a working slash command in discord.py - Stack Overflow

probably will have even more copy-pasta from other bot templates/tutorials in the future
