Support for selfbot plugins #23

Closed SeasonalFerret closed 4 years ago

SeasonalFerret commented 4 years ago

Allow users to write plugins for Discord-LiveBot in order to run selfbot code with bot accounts.

Since bot accounts are more feature-rich than user accounts, when it comes to the API, we could bulk delete messages and more, as well as run self-bot code on the accounts without violating discord TOS.

I do not plan on this being implemented until LiveBot is fully functional in all other aspects, I'm simply noting it down because it would be awesome to have a repository of user-created plugins that you can toggle on in Discord-LiveBot in the future. Think BetterDiscord plugins, but for LiveBot, whereas they are not against discord TOS.

Examples of plugins for the future: -Bulk delete messages -Auto moderation -More/Custom macros -Instant OAuth2 generation for into the chat for server administrators -Ability to see deleted/edited messages (as this would not be against discord TOS if you're using a bot account, from my knowledge? There are plenty of servers that use bots to log deleted/edited messages already. This would be no different, but in client form) -Pretty much anything and everything you can do using BetterDiscord.

Hm I do like this idea, however this will be an extremely late addition

As a bot dev I can't help but think: "All those things can pretty easily just be done on a bot"...

SebOuellette commented 4 years ago

Yeah, but providing easy access to do it via livebot would be nice, since you don't have access to any normal bot commands for the bot you're in.

SeasonalFerret commented 4 years ago

That's pretty much the thing. Since you're using a bot account, it's an easy to guess that the reason is because you want to do bot-related stuff. You can't really do bot-related stuff using an external bot - or, rather, one would assume that the program that lets you be the bot also lets you do the bot stuff.

Being able to impliment self-bot code/plugins would be pretty amazing. In fact, it's probably the only reason anyone would ever want to use Discord-LiveBot for bot accounts - being able to use selfbots without going against the discord TOS for using them on user accounts.

I honestly haven't even thought about that... I'm probably going to put that higher on my list of to do. I'm even excited about that haha

This feature has been added! There is a scripts folder with a template for your own so that you know how to do it. Feel free to join the discord server on the readme to give your feedback!
