Conexus 🔗

~ A simple Discord bot to link voice channels to private text channels.

Uses

• Provides a place for messages only pertaining to the people in a voice-channel (so you don't clutter #general or some place and confuse people)
• Allows people in voice-channels who cannot use voice to talk to the other people in a voice-channel without cluttering another text-channel
• Tracks people entering/leaving voice-channels
• Allows customization of associated channel names

This bot creates a hidden text-channel named voice-channel for every non-AFK voice channel on a server. Only users in a voice-channel can view and message in a hidden text-channel.

Commands

• !conexus "new-default-name" Set's the default name for created text-channels
• !rename "new-name" Set's the name of one associated text-channel (you must use the command in that channel)

Add to Server

https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?&client_id=304009832489287691&scope=bot&permissions=8

or

Run Yourself (Recommended)

To run the program yourself, just clone it and run the following:

$ git clone [email protected]:Apexal/conexus.git && cd conexus
$ bundle
$ ruby bot.rb <token> <client-id>

Trying to rename

So I am trying to do !rename, but it's saying I dont have permission? Help!

Resolve permission issues

After a long hiatus, and noticing all the Reddit PM's explaining permission issues, I gotta look over how it works!

This will fix issues such as #3

Token should be read from environment variable

Having the token in the command line poses a security risk as it can be viewed in process lists.

It should get the token from an environment variable instead.

Per-server naming of associated channels

Offline?

I added the bot, and it shows offline? Is something wrong, no longer supported, or what's up?

Can't get bot started

I can't seem to get the bot started, I use the correct Token and Client ID but it says I don't have them.

Bot not Verified

This bot can't join more servers as it has not been verified or is requesting gateway intents it has not been verified for. Ask the bot's developer about https://dis.gd/bot-verification so you can add it to your server!

[Suggestion/Idea?] creating a new room

Firstly Sorry. im new to github and i cant figure out how to add the proper tag for ideas/requests

But anyways. my idea/request is for you to implement the newish category feature introduced to discord a while back. this could be extremely powerful for users We could pre set default permissions for text linked channels. if you set category permissions. all channels created in that category inherit the default permissions of that category. this means a user could set ALL new texts chats from conexus to allow file uploading (posting pictures) or allow add new reactions

also anyone with admin is forced to see ALL of the text channels and such. but if they are in a category by default. we can at least minimize them

Thanks :)

Access Exceptions

While users don't usually need to access voice text channels besides the one they're in, it might be useful for there to be some exceptions.

(1) Bots might need access to all voice text channels, to provide their services to all users, wherever they are in the server. Currently, unless the permissions were manually changed for each channel, they would not see any voice text channels.
(2) Admins might need to access a specific voice text channel for moderation purposes.
(3) Admins might wish to view all voice text channels for moderation purposes.

So, it might be useful to have commands like the following.

(1) Show me a specific voice voice text channel.
(2) Show me all voice text channels.
(3) Show a specific user or role a specific voice text channel.
(4) Show a specific user or role all voice text channels.

Now, this functionality might extend beyond the scope of the project. But I thought it was worth mentioning.

Server channels are not loaded.

The bot does not remember channel associations because its Discordrb::Server objects do not have the server's channels loaded. All associations are trimmed at startup.

I've patched Discordrb, though I'm unsure if it's their problem or conexus's. See discordrb/discordrb#716

Not compatible with Ruby 3.x?

Seems like the gemfile refuses using ruby 3?

bot is offline

How can I use this bot if its offline? How to get it online?

No Longer Supported

Hello everyone. I created this Discord bot back in high school as an exercise in Ruby and for a school Discord server. Years later, I still have new people find the repository somehow (reddit?) and open issues and ask questions about it being offline. While I greatly appreciate the interest, I do not have the time to return to this project, update it, or keep a VPS running it 24/7!

Feel free to fork it and put your own spin on it, but conexus will not be coming back online.
