v1.1

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.json and a servers.json.
  Add your Discord ID (not name), Bot token, and update frequency to the admin.json:

{
  "adminId": 12345678910,
  "token": "AOGH@(AKnjsfjiJijaig3ijgG92jaij",
  "updateMs":30000
}

• add your servers to servers.json

[
  {
    "id": 15050067772322222,
    "mentionedRole": "everyone",
    "autoPublish":true
  },
  {
    "id": 74050067772325222,
    "mentionedRole": null,
    "autoPublish":false
  },
  {
    "id": 74050067772325222,
    "mentionedRole": "74036067771625222",
    "autoPublish":false
  }
]

• add a test.json with the same schema as the server.json. When
  you enable test mode, the servers from there will be used instead allowing
  you to test if it works.

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

Please edit the JSON file.
You can force an update by calling

%!refreshList

Testing

Switching between test and production files

%!testMode
%!fakeUpdate

%!productionMode

WARNING: Initiating a fake update is not being cancelled by switching
to production.

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.
