NOTE This is the old project, the newer and more advanced can be found here.
A NodeJS Discord Bot that uses the rustplus.js library to interact with Smart Devices, search for items for sale in vending machines, notify about in-game events such as Cargo Ship spawning or trigger of oilrig and other methods that is available through the Rust+ companion app.
How to setup the RustPlus-Discord-Bot
Follow the instructions for your operating system.
Download the following:
- NodeJS - Link to download page.
- Git - Link to download page.
Run the following commands:
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install nodejs=14.17.3 npm=6.14.13 git
Run the following command:
$ sudo pacman -S nodejs=14.17.3 npm=6.14.13 git
Open a terminal and run the following commands to clone the repository and install the required packages:
$ git clone https://github.com/alexemanuelol/RustPlus-Discord-Bot.git
$ cd RustPlus-Discord-Bot
$ npm install
Run the following command to register with FCM, Expo and link your Steam Account with Rust+.
$ npx @liamcottle/rustplus.js fcm-register
NOTE: Chrome/ Chromium is required for this step to work. It will open up an instance of the browser where you will have to sign in with your Steam Account and link with Rust+:
This will generate the configuration file rustplus.config.json which should remain in the same folder as the rustplusDiscordBot.js script.
Before we can start the BOT, we need to sort out the config.json file. There are some properties that needs to be filled out, these are:
- steamId
- serverIp
- appPort
- playerToken
- token
- botSpamChannel
The first 4 properties can easily be accessed by running the script:
$ cd tools/external
$ node copy_server_details_to_config.js
While this script is running, you simply join the rust server you want to play on, enter the menu and click on 'Rust+' and then press either 'PAIR WITH SERVER' or 'RESEND'. This will trigger a FCM notification that includes steamId, serverIp, appPort, playerToken and will automatically be copied into your config.json file.
token property can be gained by creating a Discord BOT for your Discord Server and copying the bot token into the config.json file.
botSpamChannel property can be gained by choosing one of the text channels in your Discord Server and simply copy the channel ID into the config.json file.
Run the following commands:
$ git stash
$ git pull --rebase
$ git stash pop
docs/documentation.md includes a detailed guide to all available commands and all the configuration settings.
