Discord-soundbox

A soundbox bot for discord. You just have to create your samples database, and it's almost ready to work. Here is the procedure to setup your soundbox.

Requirements :

• Language :

  • python 3.X

• Modules :

  • discord
  • PyNaCl (Used by discord.py btu not built-in, so you have to install manually)
  • asyncio (built-in)
  • os (built-in)
  • json (built-in)

• Installations :

  • discord : In CMD, type : py -m pip install discord
  • PyNaCl : In CMD, type : py -m pip install PyNaCl
  • You have to install ffmpeg following this tutorial.
  • Create a bot account and invite it on your serveur following this great tutorial.
    • The bot needs folloing permissions : view channels, connect, speak, send messages, manage messages

Settings :

Once you've created and invited your bot on your serveur, setup the discord-soundbox. It's the purpose of the 'settings.json' file, open it and change parameters to personnalise the bot. Parameters :

• samples_dir : Put here the directory where your samples (.mp3 format !) are located. ⚠️ If you forgot to create this directory, an error will occure !
• prefix : You can change here the prefix before bot commands. Default prefix is '!' (Example : !samples).
• ffmpeg_path : Put here the path to the 'ffmpeg.exe' file you downloaded earlier. ⚠️ Without this information, the discord-soundbox is unable to find the .exe by itself. So an error will occure !
• token : Put here your bot's token.
• forbidden_chans : Put here all the ID's of forbidden channels (separated by a ','). Then the soundbox will not be authorised to speak in these voice channels.
• delete_msg_after : "True" if you want to delete your command message and the bot's answer after a delay, "False" if you don't. ⚠️ It's "True"/"False", not "true"/"false" !
• delay : Set the delay ⚠️ Doesn't work very well in this version, the delay is about 1sec ^^

Now you can use it !

⚠️ You have to be connected to a voice channel (that musn't be in forbidden channels ^^) to use the soundbox, else you will get an error !

🔊 You have to create a file to store your samples database. The samples must be in '.mp3' format and have simle names. The 'sample name' i talk about later in this document is the filename of the sample without th '.mp3'. It will be used to select the sample you want to play.

Commands :

• !play sample_name : discord-soundbox connect to your voice_channel and play the selected sample.
• !samples : If you don't remember the available samples, you can show their list with this command.
• !disconnect: Disconnects the bot from it's current voice channel
