WasDead is a discord bot that monitors the presence of users on the server it

is connected to and announces automatically when they are streaming.

This project was started at

[TheToyz/nowdead](https://bitbucket.org/TheToyz/nowdead/) and later adopted to

where it resides today.

The name is a pun of the [Now Live](https://discordbots.org/bot/nowlive)

Discord which we were previously using because it it would auto announce

whenever anyone in the server sould start streaming. This worked great for

quite a while, but then Now Live started having issues and this feature stopped

working. After a few months of waiting, we created WasDead.

As of right now the bot is not public and can only be added to servers by

Gary Kramlich <grim@reaperworld.com>. Once the bot is a bit more featureful

and polished it will be made public and it will be made public.

In the mean time, this is the link that is necessary to add the bot to a

server. As mentioned above this will error out for anyone that's not Gary

Kramlich.

To run the both locally you'll need to setup a Discord application and get the

bot token for it. You will also need to create a twitch application and get

it's client id.

Once you have those, you can start the bot with

There are a couple of commands that are available to you. Once the bot has

joined your server, you need to tell it what channel it should post the

automatic announcements in. You will do this with the `set-channel` command.

All commands are sent to the bot in a channel and must mention the bot at the

start of the message. Ie: `@wasdead help`.
