• TO DO

The main feature of the bot is the hot-lap-challenge. This challenge consists of one car and one track which will be driven for a week to get the highest position on the leaderbord in Time-Trial (TT). Other features include the ability to decide a random race with a random car/track.

Current commands are:

• .HLCinfo Send info about the current Hot-Lap-Challenge
• .updateHLC Updates the Hot-Lap-Challenge
• .time Gets every time in the top 25 of every driver who is in the [FS]-Racing-Team
• .top X Gets the top X time of the leaderboard. The limit is 25 since embedMessages on Discord can only have 25 fields
• .randomRace Returns a random track with a random car to race on
• .randomTrack Returns a random track
• .randomCar Returns a random car

First you need to download Node.js and install it. After that go into the directory you want to install theGameMaster in and enter
git clone https://github.com/Akashic101/theGameMaster.git

After that, go into the directory and use
npm install
to install all necessary dependencies and modules the bot uses.

When that is finished, use
npm ./createDatabases.js to create and fill the databases with the needed information about every track and car in Project Cars 2.

Right now there exists a bug which creates the database and does not fill it with the needed information. This can be fixed by simply running npm ./createDatabases.js again

After that, create a file called .env in the root-directory of the bot. In there write DISCORD_TOKEN = 'Your token here' HLC_LINK=_'link here' CAR='' TRACK=''

You can get the token by creating your own Discord-Application here. There simply go to the "Bot"-tab on the left side, click on "Click to Reveal Token" and copy the text. You can get the HLC_Link from http://cars2-stats-steam.wmdportal.com/

When that is done, launch the bot with
node . or node index.js

If you want to automatically keep the bot alive forever you can use pm2. After you installed it, run
pm2 index.js --name theGameMaster --watch

With this command, the bot is daemoninzed and will automatically restart incase it crashes or recieves an update. You can monitor it with pm2 status or pm2 monit for a more in-depth breakdown

Right now no new features need to be added
