DiscordChatter For BDS eXtended

A simple plugin that allows communication between a BDSX enabled server and a Discord server!

This allows you to choose a Discord Server where various server events will be posted. Of course, this also allows chat between the server and Discord! Any in-game messages will appear in Discord and any messages sent in the channel the plugin posts to will appear to users in-game.

Installation

As of right now, the best way to install the plugin is by downloading the repository. Once it's downloaded, extract the folder "BDSX-Discord-Chatter-Plugin-main" to your plugins folder of your BDSX server. Hopefully this will be accessable via npm in the future.

Setup

• Install the plugin
• Create a new Discord Bot
  • Open https://discord.com/developers/applications and sign in
  • Click "New Application" and give the bot a name, then click Create
  • Click the Bot option in the sidebar
  • Click "Add Bot" then "Yes, do it!"
    • Note: If nothing happens and Discord says "Too many users have this username, please try another.", follow these steps again choosing a more unique name.
  • Give the bot a unique name
  • Copy the token. This will need to be put in the bots configuration in the next steps.
    • IMPORTANT: This token gives anyone with it access to the bot. NEVER share it publically!
    • Due to the sensitity of the token, it can only be entered via console or manually.
    • If anyone gains access to your bot regenerate this token ASAP from this screen.
• Start the server
• Run the commands in the below table to configure the bot!
• The config file can also be found in {bdsx root}/bedrock_server/configs/Discord-Chatter/config.json.

Configuration

To configure the plugin, fill in the command below with the correct information based on the table.
Run dc config {Option} {Input} in the console to change the configuration

If you are setting the channel ID, prefix it with "chanID_" For example, to set the channel ID the bot works in, run dc config chanID chanID_846147660843188235 in the console.

To get a Discord Channel ID see this Discord Help Article

Incompatibilities

• Due to issues with Chakra, discord.js needs to be below version 12. This will be changed ASAP once a fix is made upstream. See https://github.com/chakra-core/ChakraCore/issues/3448
