Discord Muter for GMod (The Node Bot)

Icon

Dead players tell no tales!

... and that's basically what this bot does.

price gmod-addon discord-bot license

This mod, in conjunction with the GMod Addon, mutes dead players for X seconds, or unil the end of the round in (Garry's Mod).

Features

  • Remote Node Bot (the node bot and the addon don't need to be on the same server, but they can be if you want).
  • Secure & Authenticated connection, so no-one should be highjacking your bot communication.
  • Discord Server link. When someone connects, they get told to join your server, if they're not already connected.
  • Mute a Player for the entire round, or simply for a few seconds.
  • Automatically connect players when they join your server. If a new player joins, they're on the Discord server already, and use the same name, they'll get connected without even prompting them.
  • ULX Support:
    • Added Mute/Unmute in commands menu - Obviously, you can mute/unmute a player from the ULX menu
    • Added Discord Settings
      • "Settings" - You can change any of the Console Variables on a per Map basis.
      • "Player Connections" - You can add a Steam/Discord ID connection from the ULX menu.
  • Node Bot KeepAlive. Some bot hosts kill the bot if they don't get connections after a while. This option will keep the bot running, between sessions.

Getting Started

If you need a step-by-step tutorial, follow my guide at steam

Prerequisites

  • You have to have already installed a Garry's Mod Server with the TTT Gamemode.
  • You must have a Nodejs installed locally on your GMod server, or on a publically accessable server (I used Heroku.com, which is the easier of the two options)

Usage

  1. First and formost, you need to go setup the Discord Bot, so...
    • Setup your node server

      The following assumes you're using Heroku.com. If not, please skip.

      • Create a free account on Heroku.com.
      • Create a pipeline, which deploys the Discord Gmod Bot
      • Set the Environment Variables:
        • API_KEY: (Optional, but super recommended) This MUST match the GMod server. It can be anything.
        • DISCORD_GUILD: A copy of the Server/Guild ID.
        • DISCORD_CHANNEL: A copy of the Voice Channel ID.
          • !If you're stuggling to get the Discord Guild/Channel ID, Discord have a guide to getting the ID's.
        • DISCORD_TOKEN: This allows the node bot to talk to the Discord Bot (You will get this in Step 3 below)
          • To get the DISCORD_TOKEN, you'll need to create a Discord Bot. You'll need to follow these instructions to invite the bot, into your server.
          • Make sure you grant the bot the permissions to Mute Members.
    • Make sure the Node Bot server is running. Heroku will run is as a web instance.
    • If configuring the Discord Bot on the same server as the Garry's Mod Server (i.e. it'll connect to localhost), add -allowlocalhttp to the srcds launch options.
  2. Install this Mod (I recommend using the Steam Workshop)
    • If you don't want to use steam workshop, go over to: manix84/discord_gmod_addon and just extract the project into `/garrysmod/addons/discord'.
  3. Make sure you've got the server convars in /garrysmod/cfg/server.cfg
    • discord_endpoint: The Node Bot remote endpoint (EG: https://my-awesome-discord-bot.herokuapp.com:443)
    • discord_api_key: This MUST match any value you set for the Node Bot.
    • discord_server_link: This is the share link that is advertised on your gmod server.
    • discord_mute_round: Do you want to mute the end of the round after death? (1=Yes, 0=No)
    • discord_mute_duration: How long do you want the player to be muted after death, in seconds. Does nothing if discord_mute_round is set to 1.
    • discord_auto_connect: If enabled, when an unknown player connects, it will try to match the Steam Nickname, to the Discord Nickname. (1=Enabled, 0=Disabled)
  4. You're all setup, so now, connect your Steam and Discord accounts:
    • Connect your Steam Account with the bot by typing !discord YourDiscordTag in the ingame chat (E.G !discord Manix84).
      • If you're having trouble, try your full discord name (E.G: !discord Manix84#8429). This should only be necessary if there are two or more people with the same name.
    • So long as you're in correct DISCORD_GUILD and DISCORD_CHANNEL, the game state is in progress, you're connected to discord and you die in a supported GMod gamemode (TTT, TTT2 - Advanced Update, or Murder), the bot will mute you!
