[Feature] Persistent player count channel

[napei]

Would be nice to have a persistent locked voice channel in the server, that updates every second or so with the online player count. A lot of other bots do this with discord member counts. Potentially this could also be dynamic like the status messages.

Format could be: Players Online: {playercount}

Example:

That's actually extremely easy to do with an addon module, I'll throw one together real quick as an example

3f3c11c there you go, just drop that in your server/addons folder with the channel id you want updated and it'll do exactly like you suggested

That's awesome, thank you for that. Is zdiscord:ready not implemented or do I need to raise that myself. I can't find any other references to it (not working as that event isn't called).

that was added in this commit f47074d

Ah I see. Not in the latest release.

Is it in a safe state to use djs instead of a release?

[zfbx]

Ohh yes sorry, I haven't built a release in a little bit, yes the main branch is always stable. I'll get a release built also

[napei]

Awesome. Thanks :)

Thanks for that. All working now 😄 https://github.com/zfbx/zdiscord/releases/tag/v7.1.0

@zfbx just a PSA, apparently there is a very strong rate limit on channel name changes.

Oh damn.. well figured they'd do that eventually.. that's brutal though 10 whole minutes.. used to be way less, guess people abused it too much :( that's unfortunate. if desired could do the same with editing a message in a channel

Pushed a hotfix and updated the release download so other's don't run into that, thank you very much for pointing that out ❤️
