archbot

general purpose discord bot

NOTE:

The bot only knows about game, logoff, and logon events that it sees while online. If the bot goes offline, it can miss events and misreport offline times, online times, etc. Also the bot will not know any user's time information until it sees them come online for the first time. The bot works best when running 24/7 or with only short downtimes.

INSTALLATION:

NOTE: node.js and npm are required to run the bot. Search online for help.

"admins" is a list of ids of Discord users who can control or kill the bot. These is NOT the same as the Admins of Servers where your bot is active. They will have Users on the admin list have the power to completely shutdown the bot program, as well as future powers not yet defined.
