Yoahtl Trial Recorder

A simple util to easily record trials with the Yoahtl court system as markdown files for use in other systems, like the website.

Usage

1. Create a Discord bot and invite it to your server.
2. Set the environment variables listed below.
3. Run the bot.

   go run .
   

   or just run the docker image

The bot will then record the messages in the channel specified by CHANNEL_ID from the message with ID START_MSG_ID to the message with ID END_MSG_ID and save them to a file named <trial name>.md in the transcripts folder, where <trial name> is the value of the TRIAL_NAME environment variable.

Environment Variables

• DISCORD_TOKEN - The token to use to connect to Discord.
• CHANNEL_ID - The ID of the channel to record from.
• START_MSG_ID - The ID of the message to start recording from. This is exclusive, so the message with this ID will not be recorded.
• END_MSG_ID - The ID of the message to end recording at. This is inclusive, so the message with this ID will be recorded.
• TRIAL_NAME - The name of the trial to record.
• NAME_OVERRIDE - A way to override the name of a discord user. Takes a json object with the discord user ID as the key and the name to use as the value. For example, {"123456789012345678": "John Doe"}.

(The bot will also take an .env file in the current directory if it exists.)
