Minimal Discord bot which listens on the provided channels as defined in the configuration file, parses a users message accordingly and adds any found emotes to the server. Both static and animated emotes are supported granted the server has enough emote slots left.
You'll find a yaml configuration in this repository that the bot will use. The variables are as follows:
- owner (str, default: User ID of connecting account): User ID of the owner with elevated bot privileges. See commands for according permissions.
- bot (bool): true if running as a bot and false if running as a self-bot (not recommended since self-bots are in violation of the Discord ToS).
- token (str): Bot/account token.
- channels (array): Array of channels to listen on.
- prefix (str, default: +): Command prefix.
Note: the configuration file ("config.yaml") must be in the same diectory as the binary or it won't be found, you can specify a custom path by passing the config flag ("-c") to dismote.
You can conveniently reload the current settings by sending a SIGHUP signal to the PID of dismote. Likewise for SIGTERM that terminates the appplication.
$ kill -HUP `pidof dismote` # Reload the settings
$ kill -TERM `pidof dismote` # Gracefully terminate the applicationI've include a Makefile to save a few keystrokes. To build, it's as simple as:
$ make build # Build the resulting ("dismote") binary
/usr/local/bin/go build -ldflags="-s -w" -o dismote
$ ./dismote

--- truncated ---Logs are outputted to the terminal, so it's suggested running the application inside tmux or screen to background the process.
Whilst dismote offers little functionality it does come with a few handy commands. Command functions can be found here.
| Command | Description | Permission |
|---|---|---|
| help | Prints available commands | All |
| info | Displays servers statistics | All |
| clear | Bulk delete channel messages | Owner |
| listen | Set listening status | Owner |
Implicity, the "stealer" command is set for the default command to be ran. To readily add emotes to a server you must be in a channel that's listed in the settings, from there type out the emotes you want added. Note: messages that don't start with an emote are ignored and will not be added.
