Guilded Bot Template

This is a Guilded bot template for Python.

Note

If you are here for the provided example code, please see Examples

Current Examples:

• Command: Starting a User Info
• Function: Fetching Channels from a Server

There is a good template here for guilded.js users: https://github.com/Rednexie/guilded-template

This template includes:

• Basic help command
• Cogs
• Developer commands
  • Eval/Exec
  • Cog load/reload/unload
• Advanced logging and error handling
  • Errors logging (when an error (traceback) occurs, it'll save to a txt file and tell the user the error ID)
  • Permission missing error handling (when a permission is missing, it'll tell the user exactly what permissions are missing)
• Config file
• Replies on ping
• Status changing in tasks.py cog
• Join/leave logging, join message
• Examples of commands, functions, and more!

Important

This template uses the experimental event style provided by guilded.py.

As of 2024/02/08, guilded.py's current master branch has deprecated the experimental_event_style=True and replaced it with guilded.ClientFeatures(experimental_event_style=True). If you are using guilded.py from github (and not pypi), please use the commented code inside main.py at line 165 (and remove experimental_event_style=True)

As of guilded.py >= 1.13, experimental_event_style=True has been deprecated and replaced. The code has been updated to include these changes.

An on_message event looks like this without it:

@bot.event
async def on_message(message: guilded.ChatMessage):
    message.content # do things with message
    message.server_id # message's server id
    message.server.name # message's server name

An on_message event with experimental event style looks like this:

async def on_message(event: guilded.MessageEvent):
    event.message.content # do things with message
    event.server_id or event.message.server_id # event's server id
    event.server.name or event.message.server.name # event's server name

Final Comments

For more information, please see the jump links at the top of this README. (Please read Setup and Logging if you are familiar with Cogs, but if you aren't, you can read that as well.)

If you are having trouble with any of these steps (or understanding most of the code), guilded.py may be too advanced for you. Consider learning some more Python first.

For questions about guilded.py, consider reading https://guildedpy.readthedocs.io/ and asking questions in the official guilded.py support server https://guilded.gg/gpy.
