Change bot name & avatar #21

Closed erich0123 closed 3 years ago

erich0123 commented 3 years ago

I added bot commands and api endpoint to change the bot's nickname per guild. It's not possible to change the bot's avatar per guild, however. For that I've added a global command and api endpoint that only the owner of the bot can execute.

I've added the bot owner check to the change_bot_avatar command but for the api endpoint /mappings/bot_globals, I've added a dependency called bot_owner with a TODO comment, which always denies access for now.

I've also added the Rally logo as a default avatar.

Issue #16

@erich0123 It should be possible to change the bot's avatar - I've seen other bots allow it.

Here's an example: image

If you're able to come up with a solution that requires extra time/resources we can compensate you fairly for that. It's important that the user has the ability to change the avatar though.

Please let me know your thoughts.

Maybe these bots are self hosted? Afaik, it's not possible to change the bot's avatar per guild as it is treated as a regular user account, you can only change the nickname. I've gone through the API and couldn't find anything by googling either. I've asked in several Discord groups and forums as well, noone has an answer.

I could try to email Discord and ask them directly if they could add a feature like that.

I've checked how mee6 does it and they just have their user's create their own but token, with allows them to change the avatar.

This should already be possible with the PR I've made.

I believe mee6 achieves this by proxying the custom bot user that you create, so it's not exactly self-hosting, probably they use the bot token as authentication when they modify the bot's name, avatar and activity through the discord API.

erich0123 commented 3 years ago

You're right, they start a new instance of the bot for each custom bot. I think this might be out of scope for this PR.

Looks like I'll have to close this PR as this bounty has already been completed fully in #26 and CreatorCoinTools/rally-discordbot-dashboard#5.
