fs-bot's Issues

"Command" implementation

Currently the bot supports very few "commands". Command is not the correct word though, because the bot just listens for specific messages which happen to begin with a !.

A better approach is implementing a whole Command system in which the programmer can specify names of commands with parameters and appropriate actions.

Bot says goodbye when user in different voice channel leaves

Bot says goodbye when user in different voice channel changes state

Dynamically determine how many "hello" and "goodbye" files are available

Currently the number of "hello" files is hardcoded, which is bad.

Bot disconnectes after several "Broken Pipe" errors

Bot should rejoin the voice channel if moved (unauthorized) out of it

Command: Last seen

A command like !lastseen {nickname} should answer when a person with that given nickname was last seen (by the bot).

Requirements

• A database saving all seen nicknames (or users?) (prob. SQLite)
• Creating / Updating entries when a user is last seen (what does this mean? Leaving the channel or quitting discord?)

Use a context object to inject data that is needed by the Command structure

Instead of injecting all needed variables as parameters into the Command's invoke method, just inject one Context object that contains all relevant information.

Bot thinks that user joined when a user changes his voice state

If there are already users present in the voice channel when the bot joins and a user changes his voice state, the bot thinks that that user joined (as he was previously unknown to the cached user data).

To fix this the bot has to initially get all users in the voice channel and add them to the bot's local user cache.

Bot should rejoin the voice channel if it disconnected / reconnected

Bot keeps set of "known users" even if it disconnects

If the bot disconnects when users are in the voice channel, one or more users disconnect while the bot is also disconnected, the bot rejoins and a prev. known, but disconnected user also rejoins (after the bot), the bot does not recognize that user as a "new" user.

Fix: The bot should reset its set of known users if it disconnects.

Command: for joining / leaving the voice channel

Better logging

The log messages do not say when something happens. This should change.

Bot needs a very simple user management

The bot should have master users that have permission to do anything (any command) with the bot. Other commands that have no restrictions should be usable by anybody. In the future it might be interesting to add a role system.
