Akuma Matata

A Discord Bot written in Python using the Rewrite API wrapper

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Python 3.6
• Discord Rewrite API Wrapper

You can get the Wrapper with pip:

python -m pip install -U https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/archive/rewrite.zip

Depending on your OS and environment you need to type python3 or another equivalent instead of python

Setting it up

1. Go to your Discord's App Overview and create a new app.
2. Scroll down and "Create a Bot User"
3. Reveal and copy Token of your new Bot
4. Open settings.json and paste your Token into the quotes after "token":
5. Open Discord and go to Settings > Appearance and activate "Developer Mode"
6. Go to any Server you're in, right click your profile name in the user list and click "Copy ID"
7. Open settings.json, replace the 0 after "owner": and paste it into the brackets after "admins": and "mods":

Start the Bot

Just open a console and type python akuma.py

Add your own extensions

It is easy to create a new extension on your own. First you need to create a new python file in the "extensions" folder.

You'll need this code in the newly created file:

class Name():
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot

#Setup
def setup(bot):
    bot.add_cog(Name(bot))

Just replace "Name" in Line 1 and 6 by an own class name. A new command needs to be a member of this class.

Instead of using @bot.command() you'll need to use @commands.command().

The first argument of a method needs to be self.

An Example:

from discord.ext import commands

class PingPong():
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot
        
    @commands.command()
    async def ping(self, ctx):
    	await ctx.send("Pong")

#Setup
def setup(bot):
    bot.add_cog(PingPong(bot))
