lg-rez

Discord bot for organizing boisterous Werewolf RP games ESPCI-style.

Please not that this project's source code (comments, docstrings) is written exclusively in French. The bot itself uses only French language; no internationalization is available at this time.

NOTE AUX GRIS / MJS

Tout ce qui suit est du blabla READMEsque peu intéressant.

Pour les trucs intéressants, c'est-à-dire les instructions pour lancer une nouvelle saison, voir Nouvelle saison.md.

Installation

Use the package manager pip to install lg-rez:

pip install lg-rez

We strongly recommand to install this package in a dedicated virtualenv (python3 -m venv <yourfolder>).

Dependencies

• Python 3.10+
• Packages: see requirements.txt

Configuration

To run correctly, the bot needs to be connected to several external services, each needing more or less sensitive tokens, stocked as environments variables. We support and encourage the use of python-dotenv to read them from a .env file, but you may prefer exporting them as environment variables.

All necessary variables, prefixed by LGREZ_, are listed in model.env.

Configuration Assistant Tool

We provide a command-line assistant tool to help you set up every services and generate the .env file (which you can later source and delete if you wish).

Run it simply with:

python -m lgrez

This tool also creates a start_bot.py file containing the minimal code needed to run the bot (see Usage section below).

Manual configuration

You may prefer to manually write your environment variables, or just check instructions regarding a specific one: they can be found in CONFIGURE.md.

Warning: the Configuration Assistant Tool checks every variable by running specific tests, which is not the case for manual configuration, so be sure of what you do!

Usage

This package's external API consists essentially in a discord.ext.commands.Bot subclass, LGBot, which implements every features needed to play.

The minimal code needed to run the bot in a configured folder (generated by the configuration assistant tool) is:

from lgrez import LGBot

bot = LGBot()
bot.run()

Bot usage

Once the bot connected to your Discord server, send !help to see every available commands (note: some commands are only visible by specific roles; grant yourself the "MJ" AND "Joueur en vie" roles to see everything.)
Use !help command to get more information about a command.

For precisions relative to non-command features (such as "IA" reactions to messages), look at the corresponding documentation section.

Customization

Since LGBot is a subclass of discord.ext.commands.Bot, you can use every arguments and methods it supports or subclass it to override existing behavior.

We also provide a direct way to customize some parameters of the game and of the Discord server through config module: roles/channels/emoji names, date of season beginning, inscription customization... See the doc for full API usage information.

See additional attributes and overriden methods on the doc (mostly in French)

Some useful examples:

Change command prefix

from lgrez import LGBot

bot = LGBot(command_prefix="?")
bot.run()

Customize some config options

from lgrez import LGBot, config

config.debut_saison = "27 octobre"
config.Role.mj = "Game-Master"

bot = LGBot()
bot.run()

Delete a command or alias

from lgrez import LGBot

bot = LGBot()
bot.remove_command("command_name")
bot.run()

Add a command or change the behavior of a command

from discord.ext import commands
from lgrez import LGBot

@commands.command()
async def mycommand(ctx, ...):
    ...

bot = LGBot()
bot.remove_command("mycommand")     # If replacing an existing command
bot.add_command(mycommand)
bot.run()

Enhance or replace the reaction to a Discord event

from lgrez import LGBot

async def say_hello(bot, member):
    await member.send("Hey!")

class MyBot(LGBot):
    """Your customized bot class"""
    async def on_member_join(self, member):
        await say_hello(self, member)
        super().on_member_join(member)      # Invoke the original reaction

bot = MyBot()
bot.run()
