Red-discordbot: [Red V3] What do you want to see?

[Kowlin]

As the title suggests, what do you want to see out of Red v3, nothing here is off-limits.

[palmtree5]

To put this here (though I remember seeing @orels1 mention it in discord): Integrate the redportal cog into downloader (example: this would allow for a one-click install from a search)

[Stylite]

Be able to order pizza from the bot and make cleverbot core. I feel bad for coding with this issue

[UltimatePancake]

Will's admin should probably be core.

[tekulvw]

Permissions core?

[palmtree5]

Both of those

[orels1]

@palmtree5 not really like that. I feel like wiring cogs.red into the red itself is not the best idea, due to it being an external service supported by someone from outside of main red dev.

My idea was the following:

Expose some kind of an API for downloader, so we could call something like downloader.install_cog(<repo/repoURL>,<cog>) from inside custom cogs (redportal as an example). So we could, for example have a reaction on redp search results embed, that will start installation process without the need to call cog repo add and cog install manually.

[UltimatePancake]

I like orels' idea... could it even be used for something like cog dependencies? (Yes, I'm going there)

Modmail for red:

[tekulvw]

Downloader needs to get rewritten then. And I want to see people writing tests for core cogs at the least!

[Kowlin]

"Writing tests", its like you want us dead 😂.

[Eslyium]

Softban to send an invite link to the user in pms

[BNegetive]

to play music from streams on youtube.

[SHADOW6]

Suggestion for: Red V3,

• playlists and Qued music can generate a playlist
  1) song
  2) song
  3) song
  4) song
  5) song
  [p]remove # would remove select song from a Que or a list.

• url.mp3 support
• Podcast support
• if its not bot breaking, how about adding YouTube stream support

Its a rework, so throwing the moon at you. If it can be done Great!
That will mean no one has to worry about it later.

[AraHaan]

Red to work with discord.py rewrite branch. v1.0.0

[tekulvw]

...everything is now clear

[boswelja]

Improved ping command. In my fork, I found a way to put the response time in the message, take a look there :P

[Jan200101]

Support for git repos that dont follow a certain format

[tekulvw]

@boswelja Negative, the ping command was put into general as s development tool to be able to quickly determine if the bot was responsive with a minimal amount of code getting in the way. This is why the ping command is "hidden" https://github.com/Twentysix26/Red-DiscordBot/blob/develop/cogs/general.py#L47

@Jan200101 No, otherwise we'd have absolutely no way of being able to parse/read repos

[Redjumpman]

This is more feature-esque, instead of an implementation detail, but I would like it if Economy allowed bot owners to change the name of their credits. The original modded-economy allowed users to do this, and I applied the same principle to casino. I get msgs all the time like "Hey, I saw that I could change the name of the casino chips to 'Sparky's Love Bucks', can you show me how to do that in economy?"

If anything, this feature will lower my DM's, which I count as plus. 😝

[Kowlin]

I do agree that we require more features to make the bot a bit more personal then other Red bots. The small things like changing the name of the currency will allow us to do that. And let's be fair. It should not be that hard to implement

[palmtree5]

That (the economy personalization) is done in https://github.com/Twentysix26/Red-DiscordBot/pull/781/commits/8e79027983a2fa601cf97072160a734f8645d95f

[AileenLumina]

I'd love to see if you could take a look at my Dwarf repository and take the ideas you need. I wrote it so every cog can define an API, and it's always predictable how to access a cog's API. Also, I used Django to provide a web interface, which I couldn't finish but I may finish that later this year.

In short: Make coding cogs really straightforward and add a web frontend. You can see my attempt and take whatever code you want from there. Just don't forget to credit if you're going to copypaste some of it. :)

• Look at RH1N0's Music Bot and improve off of that, amazing bot but is beginning to become dated. Specifically, 1 command for all services to play from, as well as force skip for Mods, and a Queue command that shows all queued songs.
• Look at Brayzure's Mod Bot, specifically the Mod Log, and improve however off of that.
• Look at Kwoth's General Purpose (C#) Bot and have a full permission system for commands, such as his.
• Calebj's Punish Cog should be how core Punish works, and should open Cases.
• Warn should open cases as well.
• Softban should PM the user an invite link.
• Red should always work with the latest Discord.py after the rewrite.
• Installing and Updating Cogs isn't very user friendly, I don't think you should have to add an entire repository to install one Cog, thus showing you updates for other Cogs when you go to !cog update the one that you have installed.
• Help could use some cleaning up, maybe use the popular reaction-based menu?
• The ability to toggle errors being PMd to the Bot Owner instead of having to open the console.

[Stylite]

Rethinkdb as a choice instead of mongo.

[Jan200101]

Make the

That cog could not be loaded. Check your console or logs for more information.

Error display the error with [p]traceback

[QingyuChai]

Right now, prefixes are either the default prefixes or server defined. But what if we allow each user to choose their own prefix?

Nevermind, bad idea, didn't think it through

[Kowlin]

The idea it self isn't bad, but would cause some confusion down the line for regular use. As example, a new user joins a server, and he sees another user use the bot with the prefix @@, the the new user can try and fail due to that little detail.

[bobloy]

I could see a per-channel prefix being clearer than per-user, but I'm curious what advantage you see in it? @QingyuChai

[tekulvw]

What's the benefit of having per-channel (or user) prefixes when we already have per-server ones? I'm just not seeing it...sure it could be to avoid another bot, but why would you want to avoid it in just one channel?

[Stylite]

Make v3 tracebacks print to a gist using pythongists

[mrfizzl3]

Making the bot look cleaner. Making the Help messages an embed would be a very cool feature that some have even made cogs for.

[tekulvw]

Last comment from December, I don't think we need this issue open anymore.

[Sashasonic]

Embed Whiz (not sure if that's done already.. sometimes it's not long enough - ie: time for each step) or maybe even a link to one like the Nadeko Embed maker / builder uses; but a custom one for Red v3
