The new Nizubot written in Lua instead of C#.
This bot runs on Luvit and uses Discordia with slash commands using Discordia-Slash.
(Please note that my bot uses my custom forks of Discordia and Discordia-Slash, which include additional features I use. Although I submit pull requests for these features, they may not have been accepted yet. The installation commands in this README will install my forks, not the original repositories.)
To setup everything you first need to install Luvit which you can do by reading Luvits instructions.
Once Luvit is installed you can start to install all the bots dependencies. First make sure you are in the bots directory before running any commands.
To install the Discordia fork, run the following commands:
lit install SinisterRectus/discordia #This is to get all dependencies of Discordia.
Now you need to remove discordia from the deps folder to then install the fork. (Keep all the other stuff in the deps folder)
git clone https://github.com/InZan123/discordia.git ./deps/discordia #This is to install the actual fork
To install the Discordia-Slash fork you run this command:
git clone https://github.com/InZan123/discordia-slash.git ./deps/discordia-slash
Discordia-Slash has a dependency which is Discordia-Interactions.
To install Discordia-Interactions you run this command:
git clone https://github.com/Bilal2453/discordia-interactions.git ./deps/discordia-interactions
http-codec has an annoying issue which sometimes prevents the bot from starting. The issue was fixed in http-codec 3.0.7. To update it simply delete deps/http-codec.lua an then run this command:
lit install luvit/http-codec
This bot also uses coro-spawn. Here's how you install that.
lit install creationix/coro-spawn
This bot also uses coro-fs. Here's how you install that.
lit install creationix/coro-fs
If when running the bot you incounter an issue with Discordia-Slash or with Discordia, try updating them by running the following commands:
git -C ./deps/discordia-slash pull
git -C ./deps/discordia pull
Once all that is done, create a file called "token" with no extensions and put your bot token in there.
You should now be able to run the bot by running this command:
luvit main.lua
There are a few commands that requires some special things. These are /translate, /currency and /brick.
/translate requires that you have a file called "libreTranslateUrl" with a url to LibreTranslate. If you are hosting it yourself then the url should be "http://localhost:5000/".
/currency requires that you have a file called "openExchangeRatesApiKey" with an api key to Open Exchange Rates. You should be able to safely use the free plan without hitting the request limit since this bot remembers the requests.
/brick requires that you have FFmpeg installed. This is to generate the gif.
