Master: Current:

A bot made for the CSS Discord server.

This project is cross-platform, however Visual Studio 2017 is recommended, so you may want to stick to Windows for this. JetBrains rider (available for free for students) is a good option for Linux development.

• Install the .NET Core SDK.
• Add the Discord.Net Package source to the NuGet package manager.
  • This bot makes heavy use of prerelease versions of the Discord.NET library.
  • Link to the Discord.NET documentation.
  • Link to the Discord.NET library GitHub page.
• Clone this repository. You can do this in a command line shell, or using the built-in GUI that's part of VS.
• Update your NuGet packages. The project should build now.
• Optional, only for testing. Create a bot. This will be your testing bot.
  • Navigate to the Discord API Docs and log in: https://discordapp.com/developers/applications/me
  • Click on the "New App" button.
  • Name your app. Click "Create App".
  • Click "Create a Bot User". This is the type of bot that CSSBot is.
  • Create a file debugBotConfig.xml under any directory you want.
  • Copy the contents of Test Config.xml into your new file. Insert your bot's user token into the <ConnectionToken> field.
  • Set the startup parameters of your project to point to your configuration file. The command line arguments should read: -config=/Path/To/Config.xml.
