Discord BDO Roles Bot

This bot allows members of the server to receive roles for the various bosses as well as Imperial Cooking and Crafting in BDO.

Install

Python

This bot was developed with Python 3.8.5.

Install the Discord library

pip install discord

Configuration

Rename the config.example.py to config.py and enter your discord bot token after 'discord_token'.

BDO Timers

The main reason for this bot is to give members the roles so that the "BDO Timers" bot can mention them when an appropriate event occurs. If you are not using the "BDO Timers" bot, set the corresponding line in the configuration to false!

You can find the BDO Timers Bot here.

Start the bot

To start the bot, simply enter

python3 main.py

Using the bot

After you've started the bot and added it to your server, you can start using it by simply typing !initBdoRoles in any channel. The bot must have read and write permissions for this channel! The bot then deletes your message and sends the role-assignment interface.
