Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes Bot

About

This is a bot I made to make looking up recommended setups for the game more convenient, since so many people use Discord to communicate. It has since become so much more than I'd initially planned, and should become much more in time.

Requirements

• git command line (Windows|Linux|MacOS) installed
• Node Version 8.0.0 or higher
• A machine to host it on. Want it to be online 24/7? Get a VPS.
• Some knowledge of node if you want to modify it.

Setup

Firstly, you'll need to set up the bot account, so you can get the token and such. https://github.com/reactiflux/discord-irc/wiki/Creating-a-discord-bot-&-getting-a-token

In a command prompt in your projects folder (wherever that may be) run the following: git clone git@github.com:JeffreyMilner/SWGoHBot.git

Once finished:

• In the folder from where you ran the git command, run cd SWGoHBot and then run npm install
• Rename config.example.json to config.json
• Edit config.json and enter your bot's token and other details as indicated.

{
    "ownerid": "YourUserID",
    "prefix": "YourPrefixGoesHere",
    "token": "YourTokenGoesHere",
    "defaultSettings": {
        "adminRole": "Administrator",
        "enableWelcome": false,
        "welcomeMessage": "Say hello to {{user}}, everyone! We all need a warm welcome sometimes :D",
        "useEmbeds": true,
        "timezone": "America/Los_Angeles",
        "announceChan": ""
    }
}

Starting the bot

To start the bot, in the command prompt, run the following command: node swgohbot.js

If at any point it says "cannot find module X" just run npm install X and try again.

Special thanks to York for the started bot to base this on (https://github.com/AnIdiotsGuide/Tutorial-Bot/), to CrouchingRancor.com for all their mod suggestions, and to Morningstar-013 & Pete Butler, for their work in collecting a bunch of teams for the raids.
