Since YADPCDB is a terrible name for a project, we'll just call it festor. FestorBot is a stupid-simple node-based discord bot that queries your DayZ server for game information and updates your discord channel names to reflect the current player counts.
First, invite the bot into your discord server. We'll assume you know how this done.
Secondly, create the discord voice channels that the bot will be responsible for within your discord server. Be sure that the bot has the permissions necessary for renaming those channels. Make them voice channels instead of text channels to be able to use special characters such as slash and parenthesis.
Simply rename the included config.json.sample to config.json and edit accordingly.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| BOT_TOKEN | Discord bot token to identify it on discord |
| PRESENCE_NAME | Name of activity the bot is doing |
| PRESENCE_TYPE | Type of activity the bot is doing (PLAYING, STREAMING, WATCHING, etc) |
| POLLING_INTERVAL | How often (in seconds) to poll server for game info |
| SERVERS.NAME | Name of this DayZ game server (a short name) |
| SERVERS.CHANNEL_ID | The discord voice channel ID that will be renamed |
| SERVERS.ADDRESS | The server address or IP of your DayZ game server |
| SERVERS.PORT | Your DayZ steam query port (Game port also works) |
Note that the Discord API has a rate limit of 2 per 10 minutes in place for channel renames. For this reason, you
shouldn't set the POLLING_INTERVAL to less than 2 or 3 minutes anyway because the discord channel will not be updated.
