Self Hosting

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 -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]

Compiling yourself

I developed it under Windows, and had some trouble compiling it on Linux. You mileage may vary.

Admin commands

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.

TODO

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.
