Discord Music Bot with Voice Commands

This is a basic music bot that also has the ability to listen to voice commands.

This project is still full of bugs, if you encounter a bug, feel free to create an issue in the issues tab

Installation

• Clone this repository
• run npm install
• Aquire your bot's auth credentials and fill them out in the config.json file (token, clientId). When you invite the bot to the server, make sure to give it the applications.command permissions. You also need to get the id of the server the bot is going to be in. To get this, make sure that the "Developer Settings" in Discord are activated and right-click the icon of your server. At the bottom of the dropdown-menu there should be something like "copy server id". Click it. Paste the copied id into the config.json file.
• Now run node command-deployer.js. If everything is set up well, the program should finish without errors and the message 'Successfully reloaded application (/) commands.' should pop up.
• Now you need the required api keys.
  • Head over to wit.ai and register/login. Create a new application and open the settings section. Click on the client access token to copy it.
  • Now paste the copied token into the config.json file
  • get a youtube API key as described here
  • paste it into the config.json file
  • Finally, get a genius API key (used for lyrics)
  • Head over to the genius api site and create a client. Generate an access token and copy it. Put it in the config.json
• You're ready! :D

Updating

This section requires you to have bash installed. It comes bundled with git if you're on Windows, and is preinstalled on most Linux distributions.

For Windows:

• Double-click the update.sh file. If the installation of git went right it should start for itself. If it does not start "git bash" and navigate into the folder. Then run bash update.sh

For Linux:

• Navigate into the folder through your desired terminal
• enter bash update.sh

Running

• Execute node index.js
• Have fun :)

For Linux/Git Bash users:

• Execute the start.sh file. If you want to see the logs, execute the logs.sh file
• This will create a process using nohup that stays online even if you close the terminal/shh session. To terminate the process run bash stop.sh

Usage

• All commands are listen when you enter a "/"
• /play <playlist-url/url/query> will put the respective video or videos in the queue and start playing.
• The other commands are like normal music commands and described in the drop-down in the command list.
• Voice commands:
  • Important: to enable the voice commands. You have to execute the command toggle-speech first!
  • All voice commands start with music
  • There are: play, pause, resume, skip, shuffle, list, leave
  • For example: music play <some song>

Voice Transcriber

The voice transcriber used to translate the spoken things to text is also available as an independent module. Look it up on Github or on NPM.

This bot is not perfect. Please contact me through GitHub or similar if you have any problems :)

Hosting your Bot

If you want your bot to stay online, you can use a service like Heroku. If you need it to be free I recommend you to use Wyld.ml. It offers you a small Linux VM that stays up 24/4.

(They are a pretty new service, so they could be offline right now because of some maintenance but it's worth it and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to host their bot for free without a credit card.)
