Discord Hall Of Fame Bot

The purpose of the bot is to monitor the maximum amount of message reactions and repost the message to a board if it surpasses a threshold value. Unlike star bots, this bot is not limited to one emoji but will prompt any emoji reactions.

Installing

Create an .env file containing the bot key: KEY:SECRET

Install packages: pip install -r requirements.txt

Configuring

Define your Hall Of Fame channel by updating the ID to the discord channel: YOUR_DEDICATED_CHANNEL_ID

Define the amount of reactions necessary for posting: reaction_threshold

Development Log

1.07

• Solved async simultaneous reacting on posts

1.06

• LLM outlier detection of voting-based messages, which should not be classified as a Hall Of Fame message.

1.05

• Hall-of-fame posts which are replies to previous messages will include the context.

1.04

• Only count non-author reactions towards the total amount for threshold
• When a post goes below the threshold remove the embed, but keep the message so that it would be able to be reposted again

1.03

• When the reaction counter goes up on an existing hall-of-fame post, it should update the message with the total amount of reactions
• Remove incoming non-bot posts in the hall-of-fame channel

1.02

• New gifs should be added to the user/server database as they get posted, instead of having to use the fetch command
• Servers most used gifs
• Users most used gifs

1.01

• Problem with using discord user profile pictures using Discord<=2.0.0
• Deploy on a remote server
• Improve the embed layout of messages
• Improve media output
• Improve database structure to mongodb
• Functionality for checking historical messages (it should run through all the messages and post the ones above the reaction value threshold
• When posting the message highlight the reaction emoji from the original message
• Fix message IDs not being saved/loaded correctly when validating if it has already been sent
• Create a getRandom() function for grabbing a random hall-of-fame post

Future

• Gamebot: The user gets a hall-of-fame post and should guess if another post has more or less reactions
• Refactor code to use the discord "interactions" library (enables the slash commands feature)
• Make youtube videos available for preview in the hall-of-fame messages e.g. by posting the link separately (domains: https://youtu.be and https://www.youtube.com)
• Sending a file-embed and a message-embed in the same message (makes it easier for referencing)

If bot should be invited to other servers

• Create a command for updating variable names (restricted to user permissions)
• Make a folder for each server with private value preferences
• Create and specify database configs for specific server
• Command for disabling/enabling user posts in hall-of-fame
