Introduction

This is a quick demo of a discord bot that announces deaths for private wow servers. The use case for this bot would be to allow a community to be able to see deaths in hardcore modes. If you would like a demo of this software, or need help integrating please reach out to me in this discord channel https://discord.gg/r2b55UEFxh

Installation Steps

1. Clone repo

2. Run npm install

3. Add port to the .env file

4. Add TOKEN to the .env file

   Follow step 2 from this tutorial for generating the auth token and bot. "Send Messages" in the bot permissions are all that is required. https://www.sitepoint.com/discord-bot-node-js/ To get the token click on "Bot" in the left hand side, and click the copy token.

5. Add WEBHOOKID and WEBHOOKTOKEN to the .env file.

   Follow step 1 to create the discord webhook. Then use that webhook URL to fill out the .env file. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-discord-webhooks-to-get-notifications-for-your-website-status-on-ubuntu-18-04 Example,

   https://discord.com/api/webhooks/12345678910/T0kEn0fw3Bh00K

   12345678910 is the WEBHOOKID

   T0kEn0fw3Bh00K is the WEBHOOKTOKEN

6. Run node index.js

7. Import postman scripts into postman https://www.postman.com/

8. Modifiy the tests to include the new Token from step 4.

9. Run the tests

Integrating

See the postman scripts for details on the json payload. CURL could be used to send out a request to node webserver. Replace localhost with the ip address, and make sure the ports are forwarded.

C++ code

  CURLcode ret;
  CURL *hnd;
  struct curl_slist *slist1;
  std::string jsonstr =  "{\r\n    \"player_name\":\"ikillalot\",\r\n
      \"map_id\":\"215\",\r\n    
      \"local_pos_x\":\"63.2\",\r\n   
      \"local_pos_y\":\"82.3\",\r\n    
      \"token\":\"SECRESSECSEFCSERSERSERSER\"\r\n}";

  slist1 = NULL;
  slist1 = curl_slist_append(slist1, "Content-Type: application/json");

  hnd = curl_easy_init();
  curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://localhost:3000/api/msg");
  curl_easy_setopt(hnd, CURLOPT_NOPROGRESS, 1L);
  curl_easy_setopt(hnd, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, jsonstr.c_str());
  curl_easy_setopt(hnd, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "curl/7.38.0");
  curl_easy_setopt(hnd, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, slist1);
  curl_easy_setopt(hnd, CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS, 50L);
  curl_easy_setopt(hnd, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
  curl_easy_setopt(hnd, CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPALIVE, 1L);

  ret = curl_easy_perform(hnd);

  curl_easy_cleanup(hnd);
  hnd = NULL;
  curl_slist_free_all(slist1);
  slist1 = NULL;
