writhem / gs-broadcast-bot

Create or takeover a broadcast with this bot, then enjoy what the bot can offer!

The code found here was originally created by grooveshark.com/uman42 It has been heavily modified and improved for WritheM Radio by grooveshark.com/xandor and grooveshark.com/pironic

this is currently just a placeholder for a proper readme which will come in time.

simply put, the js folder is what is loaded as a chrome extention. the php folder is what is loaded onto a webserver somewhere accessible to the chrome browser. ideally internal only.

config.php in php needs a wolfram alpha api key.

access the settings for the js via the extensions / options menu.

to start a broadcast go to http://broadcast/ and let the bot do its thing.

gs-broadcast-bot's Issues

/fetchLast x

should fetch the last x songs... not always just 1

if the bot was the last person to talk, postpone it's scheduled callout.

right now if nobody is in the broadcast the last several things said could all be said by the bot. no need for that.

Flood protection for /wa commands

Some people really abuse the shit out of /wa, it'd be nice to give them something like 5 commands per 15 minutes or something configurable simply to cut down on the /wa spam.

/setParam <paramater> <value>

easy to implement, should save the GUParam after being issued. allows you to set variables... if no value is passed, maybe it just returns the current value?

callout rotation functionality.

this would allow you define a playlist that contains callouts used on your broadcast. every x song it would play a random entry from that playlist.

/clearSuggestions function

it would approve everything in the suggestions, then remove from the end of queue.

var suggestions = GS.getCurrentBroadcast().attributes.suggestions.models;
var number = suggestions.length;
suggestions.forEach(function(suggestion) {
    GS.Services.SWF.approveSuggestedSongForBroadcast(suggestion.attributes.SongID)
});
var songs = GS.Services.SWF.getCurrentQueue().songs;
if (isNaN(number) || number < 1)
    number = 0;
while (--number >= 0)
{
    if (songs.length - 1 - number >= 0)
    {
        var id = songs[songs.length - 1 - number].queueSongID;
        if (id != GS.Services.SWF.getCurrentQueue().activeSong.queueSongID)
            allID.push(id);
    }
}
if (allID.length > 0)
{
    GS.Services.SWF.removeSongs(allID);
}

/poll <question> <answers>

somehow code a /poll to run until /poll is called again.

maybe separate the quesiton from answers with a | and a ?

allow /guest to accept an int argument.

if the argument is passed, then set the provided int as the mask level instead of the defaulted one in the settings.

output the last contest winner again... just in case

If the bot talks too much then it gets flood blocked. If the contest winner announcement gets blocked... revolt.

If we log the message to console, then the admin could theoretically find it again.
or
If no contest was running, we could say the winner of the last contest when an admin typed /ballot.

₩ aka WMDollars

Lets give everyone a ballance of WritheM Dollars. They can use them to trade and credit other people. They earn them by voting on the current songs playing. They can't spend them. Similar to Reddit Karma.

Implement an /autoskip if song score totals some negative value (like -20 or something)

Probably should give the listeners a way (perhaps something you can disable when you want) to make the bot skip when there's a problem / a song nobody really likes.

After reaching a total negative score (specified in the config) they could intitate a /skip or something.

during eventSilence it still says "you dont have access"

it should say nothing instead of no access during an event. this is for the /ping command by the looks of it.

RSS commands.

could run on a series of timers that polls for changes and outputs the value of the rss if a new entry is detected.

/addRSS <link> <interval in min>
/listRSS
/delRSS <number provided by listRSS>

/records is broken

need to fix it.

increase the allowed character list

This will improve functionality for wolframAlpha and general error allowances for inputs.

Konami Code

It would be cool if the bot had a hidden Konami Code function.

Not sure what it would do though.

the bot doesn't take over its own broadcast very well

more often than not it just starts a new broadcast... forcing all suggestions to be dumped and listeners to be migrated over. This kills all history, queue, chat and suggestions. Dirty dirty dirty.
