Contacts

Contacts is a Discord Bot that is actively developed and maintained by the C# Discord Server. Its aim is to make it easier to moderate the Discord Chat and to provide a small toolkit for answering questions about C# and .Net.

Features

The roadmap of Contacts changed a lot since the first kickoff. A lot of people contributed good ideas which made its way into the bot. For now, the following modules made its way into the Contacts Bot:

Moderation

• Mass-deleting of messages
• Muting a person for N:N:N amount of time
• Logging leaves and joins as well as used commands.

Toolkit

• MSDN Lookup
• .Net source lookup
• Discord User whois
• Unflipping tables

Installation

• Navigate to Contacts/ContactsBot/Configs/ directory
• Modify two configuration files in each directory under ContactsBot/Config/ (PostgreSQLConfiguration and BotConfiguration) and provide necessary informations and configuration.

Note: default.json is for release build and dev.json is for debug build. (Visual Studios Solution file is configured to debug build with DEV define flag.)

Note: Add your bot token to "Token" line in default.json under BotConfiguration directory, to learn how to add bot to discord: https://discordapp.com/developers/applications/me

• Once configured both PostgreSQLConfiguration and BotConfiguration, open the solution in Visual Studios 2017 RC
• Open Package Manager Console under View/Other Windows/Package Manager Console and execute "Update-Database Initial" to add default schema and tables to configured PostgreSQL database.
• Now run your bot and see if it works. If not, please add issue.
