Okay, this isn't really meant for you to setup, but if you really want to set it up yourself, fine. Go to the release tab, download the jar, and put it in a folder.
Start the server with java -jar [server-file-name] If you put in everything correctly,
the bot should message you on Discord.
Note: You need to invite the bot into a server before it can message you.
Run it once (it should crash or print an error), so admin.json, servers.json and service_channels.json
are being created.
Add your Discord ID adminId (not name), Bot token token, and update frequency updateMs to the admin.json,
optionally you can add your own messages for when the bot is looking and when it can't reach Hytale Servers.
If you verified that everything works correctly, you can start the server in the background, on Linux that is
nohup java -Xmx1024m -jar [server-file-name]. To stop it you can either type !stop in the Admin Console (Discord PM) or
if the bot is unresponsive the the PID of it through ps -ef and kill [pid]
I'm not 100% certain how much RAM the bot needs, default is typically -Xmx256m, and that lead to some issues, -Xmx512m is probably plenty, because my server has
tons of unused ram I set it to -Xmx2048m, just try and look what works for you.
I developed it under Windows, and had some trouble compiling it on Linux. You mileage may vary.
| Command | Arguments | Info |
|---|---|---|
| !info | Show all registered channels and servers. | |
| !stop | Stop the server (useful when running in nohup) |
|
| !serviceMessage | message | Send a service message to all registered channels |
| !fakeUpdate | Cause a fake update (WARNING: This will show on ALL registered servers) | |
| !refreshList | Refresh servers and service channels from disk (if you manually edit the JSON files) | |
| !removeInactive | Remove inactive channels | |
| !help | Show a help dialog with all these commands |
These commands will only work by private messaging the bot (and will be ignored if they don't
come from the admin registered in the admin.json.
Mainly reaction roles for convenience, Twitter integration to either be even faster or to brag how much faster we were over the official Hytale Twitter.
