OUTDATED! A Lightweight Chat Bot For Twitch and Discord using NodeJS =PRE-ALPHA=

d0p3tbot (v0.0.2-alpha)

A lightweight chat bot for Twitch and Discord using NodeJS.

A lot of the current features are specifically designed for the demo environment and are currently in development!

This bot works on Windows, OSX and Linux as long as you have NodeJS, NPM and MongoDB installed.

Demo

A working demo can be found running on Twitch and on Discord. Keep in mind that the demo does not run the latest version and access to the demo frontend is not allowed (yet).

• Type !commands to get a list of the available chat commands on Twitch

---

Features

• Twitch: Basic commands (i.e. !uptime, !subcount, !commands, !so)
• Twitch: Custom commands
• Twitch: Automatic chat alerts on subscription/resubscription
• Twitch: Notices every X messages
• Twitch: Whitelist URLs and Blacklist words
• Twitch: Permit a user to post links for 60 seconds
• Discord: Live announcements. example
• Persistent Database using mongoDB data storage
• Frontend dashboard and control panel

---

Setup

You must have nodejs and npm installed as well as a running instance of mongodb.

Clone this repo and run npm install to install all the dependencies.

Next, copy and rename config_sample.js to config.js and edit it according to instructions found inside.

---

Usage

After cloning the repository, installing all dependencies and creating a config file you can run the application with gulp serve. The bot will join the configured Twitch/Discord channel and listen for events/messages.

Available basic commands include: !uptime, !followage, !subcount, !so, !permit

Frontend: Go to http://localhost:3000 and login with username equal to your Twitch name and password as defaultpassword. You can then add commands, notices, blacklist words, whitelist URLs etc.

Upcoming Features

• Frontend In Progress
• Multi-user support
• Security Improvements
• AI chat (conversational bot)
• Create own API for !subcount !followage !uptime to reduce beta.decapi.me dependancy
• Commands for Discord
• And lots more...

Implementation of these features is streamed live every Saturday & Sunday at twitch.tv/d0p3t

Special Thanks

I'd like to give a special thanks to the following Github users who's projects made this bot possible.

• tmi.js @Schmoopiie & @AlcaDesign
• discord.js @hydrabolt

d0p3tbot's Issues

Basic Commands not working

Current Behavior: Last update included the addition of categorizing commands. The basic commands do not work currently.

Expected Behavior: The basic commands should be inserted into the database so that the bot can recognize them.

Currently, on first setup, the bot does not insert the basic commands into the database. This will be a quick and easy fix that has to be done in utils/twitch.js.

Support for Cheers/Bits

Give the user the ability to enable bit/cheer support for chat alerts. This has been requested multiple times in SubNotifier and as such should also be included in here once a decision on this feature is made.

Very easy to implement due to tmi.js's support for a Cheers event listener.`

Sub and Resub alerts don't display username, month and message correctly

Expected Behavior: Whenever someone subscribes or resubscribes to the channel, a message should pop up thanking them and displaying their username and message.

Current Behavior: Alert gets triggered but the username, message, months etc do not get displayed (see screenshot)

This issue is due to the string that gets sent via client.say does not recognize the passed variables in the event listener client.on. Probably has to do with scope. A solution could be to use a different way of anotating the variables inside the database and then replacing them accordingly before emitting the chat message to Twitch.

For example:

• Database: "Thank you for subscribing {username}!"
• Backend: Replace {username} with " + username + "

This issue has high priority as it's an issue with one of the core features of the product. The proposed solution may also complete the task to support variables in commands!

Frontend socket does not connect to Backend

Current Behavior: The frontend dashboard should connect to the backend. Unfortunately the frontend socket has a timeout due to trying to connect to localhost:3000

Expected Behavior: Socket.IO connects from the frontend to the backend so that a websocket is established between them.

This will not be an issue if the bot is self hosted, but can cause issues if you're trying to access the dashboard remotely (if the bot is running on a VPS, for example). This will require some changes to the frontend code. Perhaps mention this in the README.md or Wiki
