Discord Integration

{
  "Discord": {
    "Enabled": false,
    "BotToken": "",
    "RealtimeChannelID": ""
  }
}

Erupe includes an optional Discord bot that posts real-time server activity to a Discord channel.

Setting	Type	Description
Enabled	boolean	Enable Discord integration
BotToken	string	Discord bot token from Discord Developer Portal
RealtimeChannelID	string	Discord channel ID where activity messages will be posted

How Discord Integration Works

When enabled, the Discord bot:

1. Connects on Server Startup: The bot authenticates using the provided bot token
2. Monitors Game Activity: Listens for in-game chat messages and events
3. Posts to Discord: Sends formatted messages to the specified channel

What Gets Posted:

• Player chat messages (when sent to world/server chat)
• Player connection/disconnection events
• Quest completions
• Special event notifications

Setup Instructions

1. Create a Discord Bot:

   • Go to Discord Developer Portal
   • Create a new application
   • Go to the "Bot" section and create a bot
   • Copy the bot token

2. Get Channel ID:

   • Enable Developer Mode in Discord (User Settings → Advanced → Developer Mode)
   • Right-click the channel you want to use
   • Click "Copy ID"

3. Add Bot to Server:

   • Go to OAuth2 → URL Generator in the Developer Portal
   • Select scopes: bot
   • Select permissions: Send Messages, Read Message History
   • Use the generated URL to invite the bot to your server

4. Configure Erupe:

   {
     "Discord": {
       "Enabled": true,
       "BotToken": "YOUR_BOT_TOKEN_HERE",
       "RealtimeChannelID": "YOUR_CHANNEL_ID_HERE"
     }
   }
   

Implementation Details:

• Bot code: server/discordbot/discord_bot.go
• Uses discordgo library
• Message normalization for Discord mentions and emojis
• Non-blocking message sending (errors are logged but don't crash the server)

In-Game Commands

{
  "Commands": [
    {
      "Name": "Rights",
      "Enabled": false,
      "Prefix": "!rights"
    },
    {
      "Name": "Raviente",
      "Enabled": true,
      "Prefix": "!ravi"
    },
    {
      "Name": "Teleport",
      "Enabled": false,
      "Prefix": "!tele"
    },
    {
      "Name": "Reload",
      "Enabled": true,
      "Prefix": "!reload"
    },
    {
      "Name": "KeyQuest",
      "Enabled": false,
      "Prefix": "!kqf"
    },
    {
      "Name": "Course",
      "Enabled": true,
      "Prefix": "!course"
    }
  ]
}

In-game chat commands allow players to perform various actions by typing commands in the chat.

Available Commands

Command	Prefix	Description	Usage
Rights	!rights	Modify account rights/permissions	!rights <number>
Raviente	!ravi	Control Raviente event	!ravi start, !ravi cm (check multiplier)
Teleport	!tele	Teleport to locations	!tele <location>
Reload	!reload	Reload all players and objects in current stage	!reload
KeyQuest	!kqf	Get/set Key Quest flags	!kqf get, !kqf set <hex>
Course	!course	Enable/disable subscription courses	!course <course_name>

How Commands Work

1. Player Types Command: Player sends a chat message starting with the command prefix
2. Command Parser: Server checks if message matches any enabled command prefix
3. Command Handler: Executes the command logic
4. Response: Server sends feedback message to the player

Implementation Details:

• Commands are parsed in handlers_cast_binary.go:90
• Command map is initialized from config on server startup
• Each command has its own handler function
• Disabled commands return a "command disabled" message

Example Command Usage

Reload Command:

Player types: !reload
Server: "Reloading all players and objects..."
Server: Removes all other players/objects from view
Server: Re-adds all players/objects with updated data

Course Command:

Player types: !course premium
Server: "Premium Course enabled!"
Server: Updates player's account rights in database
Server: Updates player's rights in current session

KeyQuest Command:

Player types: !kqf get
Server: "Your KQF is: 0123456789ABCDEF"

Player types: !kqf set 0000000000000000
Server: "KQF set successfully!"

Security Considerations

• Rights Command: Can grant admin privileges - disable in production
• KeyQuest Command: Can unlock content - disable if not desired
• Commands are per-server configuration (can be different per channel server)
