Installation

You can add Calypso to your server with this link! Alternatively, you can clone this repo and host the bot yourself.

git clone https://github.com/sabattle/CalypsoBot.git

After cloning, run an

npm install

to snag all of the dependencies. Of course, you need node installed. I also strongly recommend nodemon as it makes testing much easier.

Setting Up

You have to create a config.json file in order to run the bot (you can use the example file provided as a base). Your file should look something like this:

{
  "token": "your_token_here",
  "ownerId": "your_ID_here",
  "bugReportChannelId": "bug_report_channel_ID_here",
  "feedbackChannelId": "feedback_channel_ID_here",
  "serverLogId": "server_log_ID_here",
  "apiKeys": {
    "catApi": "your_API_key_here",
    "googleApi": "your_API_key_here"
  }
}

Visit the Discord developer portal to create an app and use the client token you are given for the token option. ownerId is your own Discord snowflake. bugReportChannelId, feedbackChannelId, and serverLogId should be set to respective text channels on your own server. To get keys for supported APIs, vist:

• TheCatAPI
• Google APIs

After your config.json file is built, you have enable Privileged Intents on your Discord developer portal. You can find these intents under the "Bot" section, and there are two ticks you have to switch on. For more information on Gateway Intents, check out this link.

Once done, feel free to launch Calypso using the command node app.js or nodemon app.js. If on Linux, you can also kick off using the start.sh script. If you need additional help setting up, join the Calypso Support Server!

Important Note: Do not use Heroku to host Calypso! Calypso uses SQLite as its database which backs up its data store on disk. Heroku clears its contents often, so your database will be wiped. Read more here.

Emojis

If you are self-hosting Calypso, you may notice that the emojis for certain commands are not displaying. This is because Calypso uses custom emojis for a variety of her commands. These emojis will have to be added to your own server, and you will have to change the corresponding IDs in the emojis.json util if you would like to use them. Or, you can replace the emojis in emojis.json with ones you already have access to. If you would like to use Calypso's original custom emojis, hop into the Calypso Support Server where you can snag them all.

Colors

Upon being invited to a server, Calypso will automatically create 6 predefined colors for your server to enjoy. To add more, use the provided createcolor command to quickly and easily create new colors.

To add colors manually, first create a few empty roles at the bottom of your server's role hierarchy. The names of these roles must begin with the character #, for example, #Red or #Blue. Then change the color of that role to your desired hex, and that's it! After they are set up, the members of your server can then change their color by using Calypso's color commands!
