Mafia Bot

Mafia bot for the Starmen.net community.

Dependencies

• Python 3.9.4 and up
• Bash or other Unix-like shell (see cmder for Windows)

Setup

1. Grab your Discord ID

Activate Developer Mode in Discord. This setting can be found from the Advanced tab inside of User settings. Once activated, right-click your name inside of a chat and select Copy ID. Keep this for later.

2. Create a Bot

Use the developers portal to create an Application. You may then select the Bot tab and create a Bot.

3. Generate an Authentication token

Inside of the Bot tab, generate a token. Please understand that this token should be a closely guarded secret. In this context equivalent to holding a password. Do not share this token with anyone you do not wish to have access to the bot, and be careful not accidentally package it with any other projects.

Setup the local environment

From terminal run

bash setup.sh

When the setup is finished, navigate into the conf folder and edit the bot_config.json file to include tha authentication token for your Discord bot and your Discord ID.

Usage Guide

This package needs two processes: one is the Discord client (your bot) and the other is a game server. It is preferable to run each inside separate terminals or screens where possible. In one terminal run

bash run_server.sh

and in another

bash run_client.sh

The processes communicate with each other over local websocket connections, although it is possible to configure the bot to communicate over a network. A more thorough guide is forthcoming.
