Looking for some help with a Discord bot

[Mauxe]

I have used the Clockwork Hounds Discord for games for a long time and really, really appreciate the service that they offer. Especially after running a game right from Dom6.

I have a dedicated server that I use for other games and I thought I would run a dom6 game for friends there. It works fine but it really shows how bare bones the native interface is. At least what I have seen.

I looked around and found the perfect solution to try: https://github.com/djmcgill/dominions-5-status

However, I am having trouble getting it to work, despite the detailed instructions. I'd say due to my ignorance of both Discord bots in general as well as Rust. I'm posting to see if anyone has used this bot successfully and can help a newbish-minded person like myself troubleshoot.

Here is a brief rundown of where I am:

I created a bot.
Invited it to my server
Set up a role with channel permissions for the bot
Downloaded the bot files from github
Added a token file
Installed Rust
Navigated to the bot directory and ran cargo run --release
Things happened but at the end I received a message that:
Error: Disallowed gateway intents have been provided
then: process didn't exit successfully

Any thoughts/help are much appreciated.

Thanks

So, I've used this bot for my mates and I to run Dom5. As far as I know this bot doesn't work with Dom6. At least I haven't gotten it to work myself. It seems like they may have changed how the data returns on their ports at least for the internally hosted games (as in you host using d6 itself not a hosting service).

My number one recommendation would be to try to run that bot as a docker container if you're planning to use it locally only. As for your direct issue running the cargo release. You're likely missing intents granted to the bot. Here's a stackoverflow link with more info on fixing it: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64006888/discord-js-bot-disallowed-intents-privileged-intent-provided-is-not-enabled-o

hopefully that helps!

I've gotten the bot to work, but it won't stay on anymore. I'm trying to find out why.
