Chaotic Backtalk

A bot which checks the forum for new messages along with other Chaotic related features.

For information on setting up and adding the bot to a server check the wiki.

You can add the public bot to your server with this invite link.
Note: to reduce load on my server, this public bot does not have the full feature set.

Installation

This bot is written in Javascript using Nodejs (node installation) and Discord.js (documentation)

npm install

If you wish to use the ScanQuest, you will need to have MongoDB (mongodb).

Create an auth.json file in the src folder.

{
    "token": "your bot token",
    "db_uri": "connection uri to mongodb"
}

Development Running

To start the bot in development mode

npm start
npm start:scan

You can add an option to clean build the directory

npm start -- --clean

Production Deployment

Since the project uses Babel, the code gets preprocessed (The prod and forever commands build the project by default)

npm run build

To run the production server

node build/bot.js

If you need it to run in the background (such as on AWS EC2 Hosting)
Install yarn on the host server (yarn installation)

yarn forever

To stop the forever instance

yarn stop

If the server is currently running and you wish to rebuild new changes

yarn rebuild
