BlogShot
A bot that automatically polls the newest blogpost from Hytale News Tab and posts a message into servers if there is a new one.
Setup
Okay, this isn't really meant for you to setup, if you want it though it first is easier to just dm me on Twitter @tale_talk so I can add you to the server list. If you really want to set it up yourself, fine.
- first go to the release tab, download the jar, and put it in a folder
- Add two files in the root of the repo, an
admin.jsonand aservers.json. Add your Discord ID (not name), Bot token, and update frequency to theadmin.json:
{"adminId": 12345678910,"token": "AOGH@(AKnjsfjiJijaig3ijgG92jaij","updateMs":30000}
- add an empty array to your
servers.json
[]
Not sure, but it might be that multiline JSON doesn't work.
Compiling yourself
I developed it under Windows, and had some trouble compiling it on Linux. You mileage may vary.
Admin commands
Start the server with java -jar [server-file-name] If you put in everything correctly, the bot should message you on Discord.
Adding Servers
%!addChannel [channelID] [roleID/everyone]
Second argument is optional.
Cause a fake update (test if it works)
%!fakeUpdate
Stop the server from within Discord
%!stop
Show servers, channels and roles
%!info
These commands will work in every channel, but will be ignored if they don't come from you, however the bot will always respond in a private message. It will also print errors directly in a Discord private message.
TODO
Mainly reaction roles for convenience, self setup on invite to server, Twitter integration.
