Overview

1. Prerequisites: what you need prior to setting the bot up
2. Setup: instructions on how to set up the bot
3. Features: the bots functionality within Discord
4. Commands: a short description and example for each command

Prerequisites

1. Create a Discord Application

   View the Official Guide on how to create a Discord Application

   *Please note that this Discord Bot does not require any special intents

   Invite the bot to your server with the following link: https://discord.com/api/oauth2/authorize?client_id={YOUR_BOTS_ID}&permissions=242666032192&scope=applications.commands%20bot

2. Have a LEGO Universe client

   You are not required to be hosting a LEGO Universe server to host this bot

   All you are required is to have the locale.xml and the cdclient.sqlite files

   The locale.xml can be found at PATH_TO_LU_CLIENT\client\locale\locale.xml

   The cdclient.sqlite is not found in the client. You must create it from the cdclient.fdb which is found in unpacked clients.

   If you are using a packed client, you can unpack just the cdclient.fdb using lunpack.exe with the following command:

   • Make sure the contents of globs.txt is just *.fdb, otherwise you will unpack the whole client (which takes a lot more time)
   • Make sure lunpack.exe and globs.txt are in the same folder

   lunpack.exe "PATH_TO_LU_CLIENT" - g "globs.txt"

   To convert the cdclient.fdb to the cdclient.sqlite, upload the cdclient.fdb to https://fdb.lu-dev.net/.

Setup

1. Run git clone https://github.com/MasterTemple/LEGO-Universe-Discord-Bot.git

2. Configuration

   Rename .env.template to .env and fill in the data from the comments provided.

   If you do not have a cdclient.sqlite create one from your cdclient.fdb at https://fdb.lu-dev.net/.

3. Install proper dependencies with npm install

4. Transpile with tsc --build

   If tsc is not found, install it with npm i typescript -g and then run tsc --build.

5. Run ./lib/index.js

   I would recommend using something that restarts if it crashes such as pm2

   Install pm2 with npm install pm2 -g and run it with pm2 start .

   Restart with pm2 restart all and stop with pm2 stop all

   If you edit the cdclient.sqlite or locale.xml, they can be reloaded without restarting the bot by using the Slash Command /reload in Discord.

   If you edit the .env file, you just need to restart the bot.

Features

Autocomplete

This allows users to search objects by their name instead of relying on knowing the internal object id.

Message Embeds

Message embeds allow for organizing and displaying data in a much more visually appealing way.

They are indicated below by the colored bar on the left and the darker background.

Message Embed

Message Components

Message components are the buttons underneath the embed. These allow for the user to execute related commands on an object.

For example, an item that can be earned can also be bought. Instead of having to use /earn and then /buy, the user can use /earn and then click the Buy button.

The green button indicates the current command. Disabled/faded buttons show that an item cannot be obtained through a certain method.

If the user clicks the Buy button, the message is edited to display the following

Paging

The current page index is indicated between the parenthesis in the title.

Page navigation can be controlled through the buttons on the bottom.

External Links

The blue hyper-linked text will take the user to the corresponding page of hosted LU Explorer that is specified in the configuration.

LU Explorer an angular.io webapp that displays LEGO Universe game data..
