D++ CMake bot, Guiding Light

This is a Discord bot written in C++ using the D++ library. It's a JTC voice channels manager. It assumes that fmtlib and D++ are already installed.

Compilation

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make -j

If DPP is installed in a different location you can specify the root directory to look in while running cmake

cmake .. -DDPP_ROOT_DIR=<your-path>

Running the template bot

Create a config.json in the directory above the build directory:

{
    "BOT_TOKEN": "Bot token here",
    "BOT_LOGS_ID" : "ID of the logs channel",
    "BOT_DM_LOGS_ID" : "ID of the channel for DM logs",
    "MY_ID" : "Creator ID",
    "MY_GUILD_ID" : "?",
    "ELGATO" : "Elgato emoji string",
}

Start the bot:

cd build
./guidingLight

Extending the bot

You can add as many header files and .cpp files into the src and include folders as you wish. All .cpp files in the src directory will be linked together into the bot's executable.

Renaming the bot

To rename the bot, search and replace "guidingLight" in the CMakeLists.txt with your new bots name and then rename the guidingLight folder in include. Rerun cmake .. from the build directory and rebuild. You might need to re-create the build directory.
