A discord bot to help assist with Partly Sane Skies

Sanity

Welcome to Sanity! This bot is designed to assist our interactions within the Partly Sane Skies Development Team.

How to use

1. NodeJS Installation: Ensure you have NodeJS installed, preferably version 16.11.0 or newer. The LTS version of 20.10.0 is recommended.
2. Clone Repository: Clone this repository to your local machine.
3. Dependency Installation: In the repository folder, run npm start in the command prompt. This will install the necessary dependencies. After completion, the bot will launch using node main.js.

Setting Up the .env

Currently, the .env file needs 6 elements: TOKEN, GITHUB_TOKEN, OWNER, REPO, SERVER_URL, SERVER_STATUS_CHANNEL_ID & DAILY_FUNFACT_CHANNEL_ID

Obtaining Bot Token

Follow these steps to obtain the Bot Token:

1. Head to the Developer Portal.
2. Create a new application, copy the APPLICATION ID.
3. In the "Bot" tab, reset the token and copy it.
4. Enable "Presence Intent," "Server Members Intent," & "Message Content Intent."
5. In your project, create a .env file, add TOKEN=your_token (replace with your token).

Obtaining Github Token

For GitHub API access in announcement.js and mods.js:

1. Open Developer Settings.
2. Generate a new token with the repo scope.
3. Copy the generated token.
4. In .env, add GITHUB_TOKEN=your_token.

Repository Structure

Ensure your repository aligns with the specified structure for mods.json and main_menu.json. Examples can be found here.

Add two more lines to your .env file:

• OWNER=your_github_username
• REPO=your_repository_name

Partly Sane Cloud Integration

If using Partly Sane Cloud, include SERVER_URL, SERVER_STATUS_CHANNEL_ID and DAILY_FUNFACT_CHANNEL_ID properties in your .env.

Now your .env file should look like this:

TOKEN=your_bot_token
GITHUB_TOKEN=your_github_token
OWNER=your_user_name
REPO=your_repo
SERVER_URL=server_url
SERVER_STATUS_CHANNEL_ID=channel_id
DAILY_FUNFACT_CHANNEL_ID=channel_id
