No, just klick the link on the original thread post, it should forward you to the Discord Website, where you can choose from a dropdown menu the servers you want to add it to. You need manage/admin permissions for the respective server, otherwise it will not be in the dropdown menu. That's it

this is awesome thanks for it

@chi_ras How does your bot determine which videos are "hot" and which are "newest" for the !youtube command?

Newest is Really the last uploaded, hot recent is those with most clicks in the last 2 weeks

@chi_ras does it search specific channels? or does it search for a specific phrase like full "The Elder Scrolls Online"

chi_ras

@MaximusDargus It searches for everything tagged with ESO in the Game settings. When you upload a Vid and select the "game" category, there is an option for that (not the normal tags, the game tags). Then it is filtered for english language only, unfortunately youtube classifies everything as english, when there are english words in the title. So other languages are not completely filtered out, when they put "Elder Scrolls Online" in the title.

I am sorry for problems with polls! I had a crash and a lot of polls have been reset. I am now working on a different way to store polls, so that this does'nt happen again. Will take me a few days, however.

Are there any plans to add HoF to the leaderboard information here?

Yes, sorry for the delay. Its already in a new version of the bot, alongside many other MW updates and new commands. I just have a terribly overloaded time at my job, so was not able to get that online yet. Will be launched this weekend i hope!

chi_ras

Bot has been updated to a new version, with a lot of new gimmicks and changes today.

Good news:

1: Documentation online: http://foxbot.biotopia.info/

2: New commands:

• !price for TTC guild vendor price lists
• !config for some guild configurations
• !subscribe for automatic news and updated on pledges, vendors, realm status etc.
• every command has been extended by new options: add a "-help" and you will see!

Bad news:

• It may crash from time to time, since I am only able to test in a very restricted environment. Will have some downtime here and then,... Will fix stuff asap as they occur.
• Old polls are currently not accessible, since I switched the database format for that completely. I will start to migrate the old polls over the weekend

chi_ras

Ok, polls have been updated now, so every old poll should be back. I also now fixed an error where there were problems in ending a poll, it was caused by whitespaces in the answers. Should be solved now..

Nice work, any way i can get access to the source files to either run it off my own servers or implement it into my own bot?
Would prefer to implement it into my own bot since I already have foundations down for aliasing commands and changing prefixes

In principle sure, yet it is now very complex, using SQL databases and some dependencies, webhooks, a separate cron-like task-script etc to get full functionality, and the individual functions are split up between files. I guess it wont be easy to integrate things out of the box into your bot.

I am sorting out some things at the moment with some other guys, in terms of how to proceed in the future with the bot. If you are interested, I would be very happy to invite you to my github repos, if you have some commands/functions in mind and want to contribute. I have modularized the bot, so writing new commands should be easy, since the I/O is now standardized. The prefix changes are easy and could be integrated into the existing configuration thingy with a few lines.

So, you are invited to contribute to the existing or also get the code for yours, but I assume the later wont be as easy as you might think. I will need to make some documentation of the code in any case prior to both

As much as bots suck in ESO, they sure are great in Discord or Twitch. This looks amazing. I'll give it a try later.

Sweet, thank you. Pretty much i help out a little with Nadeko bot and by help i mean i lurk in their discord server every so often helping out new users self host or explain things about the public version. Then mostly write bugs for my edited version on my own servers, lol.
Never the less Nadeko is open source so a lot of people contribute and it seems every time i turn around we have added in some new game related command/plugin. I am mostly lazy so I intend on asking them if they would like to implement the eso features/commands of your bot as Its been a few months since I set out to add in straw poll api into nadeko and thats well a 15 min job...... its been months, lol.

Yes, I am also thinking about opensourcing, but currently I am ashamed of how the code looks like so I have to write some documentation how to setup/run an own instance, and to add comments to the code, otherwise nobody else will understand it. My bot is very modularly organised, so in principle it's possible to add new commands with a few lines in a new js file, as all the parameter, input, settings and output is defined. So one can add new functions easily in the open source without touching and understanding the core framework. This makes it however harder to transfer to a different bot as well, but you can have a look soon at it yourself.

I had a quick look at Nakedo, it seems to be a general purpose bot, not game specific, so I think it might not be an ideal solution to integrate ESO there, but anyway, I don't mind, thats their choice. I think it might be hard still to re-use things there, from the docs it is not js nor sql based, and my code is completely written in the first and requires the letter in almost all commands.

You can PM me your github username, and I will invite you to the repos, once I have commented on a few things. I also have to clarify some other things with other people, since there is some interest in integration of the bot into one of the major ESO community sites. So this will take a few weeks for me, then I will add you to the repos or opensource it anyway for everybody

does it so happens that Foxbot can't be seen in the chat? or is the server for it down right now?

Make sure that you have in your user settings turned on the settings to see 'embeded links' otherwise the bot reacts to your command, but you will not see it.

Just an FYI, !subscribe isn't working. it is under !config -subscription

Great thing to have for any discord!

Cheers ESO community,

few months ago I created a Discord bot for my guild (Exterminatus, EU-PC) to get easy and quick access to some ESO related information. The list of commands grew over the time and is now a nice setup for ESO related information. So, I want to share this bot with you now, so that not only my guilds can benefit, but every ESO guild that uses Discord for guild/group communication.

Invite link: https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=251443671541481472&scope=bot
The Bot needs only read and write permissions and embed links (!) in the channels where you want it to be allowed. You can thus make it work only in dedicated channels by disabling "read" permissions in all other channels.

If you want to check it out first before allowing it to go to your server, use this instant invite link to my test server: https://discord.gg/xY4jwrQ or contact me directly in Discord ID: Fox#6800
I will kick you after a few days from that server, since it is just a sandbox where bot commands are spammed.

Current implemented commands are:

!help -> displays all commands

!pledges -> Today's Undaunted Pledges
!trial -> this week's specially rewarded trial

!golden -> Cyrodiil's Golden Vendor Items (weekend)
!luxury -> Luxury Housing Vendor Items (weekend)

!status -> ESO server status
!patch -> Latest ESO patch notes
!patchpts -> PTS (Morrowind) patch notes
!set SETNAME -> Set item information (e.g. !set skel)

!youtube -> Hot and new ESO videos
!twitch -> Current top 5 ESO streams

!contact -> Contact information for the Bot author

Here the exemplary output of the !golden command



Disclaimer: This bot may be down some times, since I have to take the server where it resides on down/restart from time to time. So don't expect 100% uptime. If you see that it is longer than 5 hours down, drop me a message in discord directly, bots are known to have disconnection issues sometimes in Discord.

Credit: I crawl most of this data from other websites, and I contacted the authors of these sites to reuse the data. So the credit goes mostly to these guys! Here the sources:
Golden/Luxury info: http://www.benevolentbowd.ca
Pledges/Trial/Leaderboard info: http://www.esoleaderboards.com
Maintainance/Patchnotes: http://www.forums.elderscrollsonline.com
The rest is taken using the official APIs available for the corresponding information or my own data collections.

I am always open for ideas and suggestions for new commands, best directly through Discord Fox#6800 or ingame @chi-ras
I hope it will be useful to you guys and girls as well.

UPDATE: Embed links permissions are required to work well with the new design!

is there a way to make it auto post?

You can make
... as guild admin in a guild channel
... or in a direct message to the bot

!config -sub 0,1,2

then you will get autoposts of pledges, news, weekend vendors, server status changes in the channel or as a DM, respectively

So, I've added this bot to my discord server for my members. However I have seen on other servers these welcome bots actually "Welcome" new members. How do I set mine to do that? I have 2 and I haven't seen them Welcome any of my new members.

I'm actually looking for the page in order to give this bot ""Welcome"" Commands like DYnobot. Can you please post the proper link so I / we can get into Fox-Bot's Announcement settings.

Thank You.

chi_ras

Hey @chaz ,

Its not a welcome bot, it only posts things when you type in a command (see original post) or when you sub a channel to announcements, pledges, weekend vendors...

I like to keep this a ESO specific bot, there are many other bots out there already that have admin or welcome functions.

chaz

Ahhh, I see. Thank you @chi_ras . That is helpful to know.

Hi @chi_ras I created a Discord server and have all admin/manage permissions for my server, however, when I've tried to use the invite link for Foxbot, I keep seeing this:
