Sigma Simon is a node-served Radio Bot created using discord.js and ffmpeg packages. Current use is isolated to Sigma Draconis Games, and assists in player interaction on our Space Engineers cluster.
The only prerequisites to using the radio bot is a system installation of node.js, an internet connection, and a fresh Discord bot setup via the Discord Developer Portal.
Sigma Simon can be installed by running npm install on the unzipped root directory. This will install all necessary dependencies and get the bot ready for use.
Once you've installed all dependencies, you can add your Discord Bot's token to config.json found in the root directory.
You are all set! Sigma Simon is now ready for use.
To initialize the Radio Bot, navigate to the root directory from terminal and run node main.js. You will see an initialization response confirming the bot is now active.
The Radio Bot currently uses static-mapping of commands, but will be updated to dynamic-mapping in the near future. The bot currently supports 6 commands:
radio-start => fetches audio files and begins playing the Radio Bot in the command author's current voice channel
radio-stop => stops the Radio Bot and disconnects it from the current voice channel
radio-skip => skips the current track and proceeds to the next in queue without transition
radio-pause => saves state of current track and pauses the stream
radio-resume => resumes stream from last state
radio-kill => leaves the current voice channel and kills the node.js process
