datcord_bot's Issues

Make the bot count the days to Godot 4

We already have people counting every day in the #waiting4godot channel. Why not make the bot do it as well? Suggestion for image to be used: Godette running on a treadmill with icon.png dangling a carrot on a stick in front of her.

Looping over roles

I adapted a lot of your method for the rewrite branch in order to go through and add roles for preferred pronouns on my server. I retained looping through the server roles so that I can add the role without hardcoding a bunch of ids.

`@bot.command()
async def callme (ctx, newRole):
user = ctx.message.author
roles = ctx.guild.roles
rolesListAdd = []

for userRole in user.roles:
    rolesListAdd.append(userRole.name.lower())

if newRole in rolesListAdd:
    await ctx.send('You already have this role.')
        
if newRole not in rolesListAdd:
    for role in roles:
        if role.name.lower() == newRole.lower():
            roleToAdd = role
    await user.add_roles(roleToAdd)
    await ctx.send('Role has been added')`

Update discordpy to a supported version

datcord_bot has been stuck on an old discordpy version for years. It would be nice to upgrade it to the latest version, so that the bot can run with Python 3.7 and later.

Various Improvements

While updating to the current discord.py version I noticed some things that could be improved. I will write them in this issue for reference and discussion.

1. Use discord.py commands. This would turn every command into it's own co-routine. Command aliases are supported. Advantages:
   • The code would become much more readable.
   • All the .startswith("!command") checks would be eliminated.
   • Command args are passed into the co-routine as regular python args.
2. Role assignment: Instead of looping over all roles just check if the role is available and not in Member.roles. This could be combined with Idea 1. Using bot commands supports casting arguments to valid discord model instances like Role.
3. Move the data to a dedicated (config) file. Advantages:
   • Clear seperation between content and code
   • Easier file format for content. This may decrease the barrier for people that want to add content without changing code.

Let me know if any of these ideas are wanted. I would be happy to work on these.

Revert my commits

please

the server has gone into something else i don't want to be a part of anymore

Don't upload images every time

It would be cool to save bandwidth by uploading to imgur or some other service and just sending a link.

Would also make the repository muuuuch smaller
