CosBoT

Writing a little discord bot to better learn go and provide some functionality that we miss from Mumble, mainly TTS announcements when someone leaves/joins a channel or the server.

You'll need to get the discordgo library to build it locally with go get github.com/bwmarrin/discordgo (I'll probably end up using a dependency manager like dep)

Currently, it expects a discord bot token in a file named "TOKEN".

Right now it will send a TTS message to either a channel named 'channel-move-messages' or the first text channel it finds if that channel doesn't exist. It will send a message to that channel each time a user joins or leaves a voice channel on the server.

Added a changelog!

Roadmap:

• Move all the setup code out of main.go into a sub package
• Use a human-readable, parsable config file
  • Something like JSON or YAML
  • Contain token, default channel for messages, anything we end up needing
• Some commands we should support:
  • enable/disable announcements
  • toggle whether announcements go to a specific channel or directly to users
  • set which channel announcements are set to go to
  • users should be able to turn off direct messages if that is what is being used (!optout or something)
  • whitelist certain users to be able to use certain commands
• Any of the settings that are set with the commands above should be saved to a config file so that they are not lost when the bot host is restarted
• Unit tests should be added at some point
• Debug print statements should be replaced with an actual logger
