Moderation Commands (Discord bot, DSharpPlus)

[Naamloos]

We need way more commands for moderation. Creating a single command is good enough for a PR to be accepted ;)

Are you using microsoft bot framework? What are the things I should be aware of before I can begin? I'm kinda new to bots but would like to try and get better.

@DesmondANIMUS
This is a Discord bot and I believe there is no Microsoft Bot FX required.

This is the library that the bot is built upon: https://github.com/NaamloosDT/DSharpPlus

Documentation: https://dsharpplus.emzi0767.com

Hey, when I pull the solution and build it, I get these errors: "Unable to find package DSharpPlus.CommandsNext with version (>= 3.1.3-beta-00273)"

Any idea?

Edit: Found out you I needed to add the nightly builds myget source: https://www.myget.org/F/dsharpplus-nightly/api/v3/index.json

It is working now!

[Vetsoo]

Could you give some more information on how to test this bot?

[uwx]

To get the NuGet packages, simply use dotnet restore -s https://www.myget.org/F/dsharpplus-nightly/api/v3/index.json in the project root.

If you run the bot with no arguments it'll create a settings.json file with sample data, then you replace the token with a Discord bot token. Follow the instructions on the application page and on this handy page to add your instance of the bot to your own guild, and then use +help to show available commands.

I get a nullreference when I start up on this line t.Namespace.StartsWith("ModCore") in the AsyncListenerHandler

[Naamloos]

@Vetsoo Where is that line at exactly?

@DesmondANIMUS The Microsoft Bot Framework isn't used in this project. as @Yucked said, this project uses DSharpPlus. It is a library for writing aps with the Discord API.

Sorry for being inactive, I was at work c:

[Vetsoo]

public static void InstallListeners(DiscordClient client, Bot bot)
{
// find all methods from ModCore with AsyncListener attr
ListenerMethods =
from a in AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies()
from t in a.GetTypes()
where t.Namespace.StartsWith("ModCore")
from m in t.GetMethods()
let attribute = m.GetCustomAttribute(typeof(AsyncListenerAttribute), true)
where attribute != null
select new ListenerMethod { Method = m, Attribute = attribute as AsyncListenerAttribute };

        foreach (var listener in ListenerMethods)
        {
            listener.Attribute.Register(bot, client, listener.Method);
        }
    }

[Naamloos]

Do you have a token setup in settings.json?

[Vetsoo]

Yes I do. My bot is also added in my server. Do I need anything else?

[Naamloos]

I'm taking a look at it. Errors for me as well.

[Naamloos]

@Vetsoo The latest commit fixes it. Please pull the new version off of GitHub c;

No more responses. Guess it's time to close this one.
