The Discord bot for the Clemson Esports Discord. The goal is to have commands for different games as well as Clemson related commands. For more information for contributing, contact Zerukai#4327 on Discord or keep on reading below!

If you end up deciding you want to contribute, after your first approved Pull Request, you'll get a special @Bot Developer role in the Clemson Esports server!

This is a quick guide on how to develop and contribute to this project! Thank you to the Clemson CPSC Discord Bot Devs for letting us use their contributing guide!

Make sure that you have node installed. You can check to make sure it's installed by running either of the following commands via command line...

• npm --version - Node Package Manager, included with Node.js
• node --version - from Node.js
  • We are writing this on Node v12.13.0 or higher, any versions lower than this may cause errors.

If these commands don't give you an error, then you can continue to the next step.

• Go to the Discord Developer Portal
  • Log in with your Discord account information
• Create an Application
  • New Application button in the top right corner
  • The name of your bot will show up as what you name it here
• Click Bot on the left sidebar
• Click Add Bot and confirm
• Make note of the token on this page

• In Discord, on the left sidebar, click the plus icon and create a new Discord Server.
• Name it something memorable, like "Bot Testing Server".
  • This is YOUR own private server to test the bot on. You have full power over your own bot here, so do as you please.

• Click OAuth2 in the left sidebar
• In the SCOPES section, check bot
• In the BOT PERMISSIONS section, check Administrator
  • Typically you only want to give your bot the least permissions it needs to operate, but since this is only a test server you are inviting it to, Administrator is fine. Do NOT add the bot to any public servers with Administrator permissions unless you know what you are doing.
• Copy the link from the SCOPES section and open in a new tab/window
• Select the test server that you made in step 3, and add your bot
• Check to see if your bot is in the serverlist

• Fork this repository
• git clone your fork to wherever you want to work on this bot
• Rename config.json.template to config.json and fill out the values inside
  • token is what you created in part 2
  • prefix is the prefix for each of your commands.
    • Ex: cu! ➡ cu! <command>
  • owner is your Discord ID. Find it here.

Download all of the required node packages:

• npm install

You can then test-run the bot with the command:

• node bot.js

when you are in the root directory \Clemson-Bot

Navigate to the Clemson-Bot/commands/templates/ directory and find the templateCommand.js file. This file gives you a template of how you can create a command, simply edit and add to it to create your own command. You can find examples of other commands already written in the Clemson-Bot/commands/* folders.

The bot should show up in the test server and respond to commands (test with <your_prefix><command>)

• Ex: cu! templateCommand will have the bot return back Hello World!
