Discord pickup game bot

A discord bot for managing pickup games.

The bot stores all data in an Azure Table but this can easily be changed using dependency injections and craeting new repositories inheriting from these interfaces:

• IDuelChallengeRepository
• IDuelMatchRepository
• IDuelPlayerRepository
• IFlaggedSubscriberRepository
• IQueueRepository
• IServerRepository
• ISubscriberActivitiesRepository

You can change which implementation is used by changing the dependency injection in PickupBot/Program.cs

Setup

Edit the appSettings.json file in the PickupBot folder

Then add this to the json file substituting the values

{
    "ConnectionStrings": {
        "StorageConnectionString": "<PlaceHolder for connection: AzureStorage>"
    },
    "PickupBot": {
        "DiscordToken": "TOKEN",
        "RCONServerPassword": "RCON-PASSWORD",
        "RCONHost": "RCON-HOST",
        "RCONPort": "RCON-PORT",
        "CommandPrefix": "!",
        "GoogleTranslateAPIKey": "GOOGLE-TRANSLATE-KEY"
    },
    "Encryption": {
        "Key": "string with 32 characters",
        "IV": "string with 16 characters" 
    } 
}

• The RCON Prefixed variables enable the bot to query and interact with an RCON enabled game server.
  • With the latest updates you can now add servers and store them in the DB with an encrypted rcon password so the prefixed app settings variables are only used as a fallback from now on.
  • The Encryption uses the Encryption.Key and Ecryption.IV app settings
• Google translate API Key enables the bot to translate messages in discord
  • To translate a message just add a reaction in the form of a country flag that represents the language you wish the message to be translated to.
  • Supported languages are the Scandinavian languages, major european languages and russian.
• CommandPrefix sets what character/characters mus precede a command
  • This is very useful to have a different CommandPrefix for different environments.

The settings.job can be ignored since this discord bot needs to be run continuously.
