BigBoiBot

Just a fun lil bot. Features include - sending reminders (which are backed up in a JSON file), sending the weather (in the US), fixing embeds, and other dumb stuff.

A Note

This is a v2 update to the original BigBoiBot, and is largely a rewrite.

Run it yourself

For Big Boi Bot to run, you need to:

• Put the proper info into a configu.txt file, which is in the same directory as the Python script file:
  • Playing: The playing message that shows up on the bot's profile when it's running. Set to "" by default.
  • Fixing links: The syntax for link fixes is Original URL;New URL. For example - twitter.com;vxtwitter.com. If the url has www. at the beginning, that must be specified, but https:// should not be, as it is added to all of the URLs after the fact.
• Put your bot token in a token.txt file, which is in the same directory as the Python script file.
• Optional: Replace the directory variable on line 23 where Python reads the .txt and .json files with your own.
  • This should not be necessary in most cases, but if Python for some reason is not reading your files, this is a good place to start troubleshooting.
• Note that a reminders.json file will be created for you in the directory on the first run of the bot.
• Note that dependencies are included in the requirements.txt file.
  • You can install these automatically by running pip install -r requirements.txt when in the directory.
