kiobu/livequery

The standalone LiveQuery bot.

LiveQuery

LiveQuery is a program that is used to fetch messages sent on Source game servers and post them to a Discord channel.

Requirements

• Node.js and npm. If you are running Linux, you should use nvm. If you are running Windows, you should probably use nvm-windows or install Node and npm through chocolatey.

Setup

Setup is unnecessarily complicated until I streamline the process.

1. Run npm install.
2. Run cd bot and node setup.js --token='yourToken' --channelID='yourChannelID'. Make sure you are in the same directory as setup.js before running the node setup.js command.
3. Invite the bot to your server. This image will show you how to do it. If you don't have a bot client created already, you can create one on the Discord Developers page.
4. Make sure your bot has access to the channel.
5. Run npm run main. Run this under a screen so the bot doesn't shut down when you exit your shell session.
6. Install the corresponding plugin to your server:
   • Clockwork
   • DarkRP
7. Configure the plugin. For Clockwork, you just need to change the server variable in sh_plugin.lua to whatever the IP or hostname the bot is running on is. Additionally, make sure the port appended to the IP/hostname is correct. It is 25050 by default.

The bot was created with Discord.js v11. v12 introduced breaking changes, so it may not work. If you need a v11 version of Discord.js, you can use npm i [email protected].

Known Bugs

• You get a JSON parse error whenever someone sends a message containing quotes ("").
