Makoto

A feature packed discord bot!

Step by Step Guide on how to set up a Development Environment

Install the following applications. These should get you started with a basic environment for C# development.
- Git CLI
- Visual Studio 2022
  - Select .NET desktop development
Log into your Github Account with the Git CLI and clone the following repository:
- Fortunevale/ProjectMakoto
  - To clone ProjectMakoto with it's submodules run: git clone --recurse-submodules "https://github.com/Fortunevale/ProjectMakoto.git"
- You can skip this step if you're developing a plugin.
With this completed, you can already start developing for Makoto. To be able to debug Makoto, follow the guide below.

Install the following:
- MariaDB Server
  - After installing the MariaDB Server, create 2 new databases: One for the main tables (guilds, users, scam_urls, etc.) and one for server members.
  - You'll need a third database if you're using plugins.
Create an account on the following sites:
- Discord
  - Create a new Discord Team and add a new Discord Application to the previously created team.
  - Add a bot to the application and note down the bot token.
  - Makoto currently requires the Presence, Server Members and Message Content Intents.
  - I recommend disabling the Public Bot Option so no one can add your development client to their server.
- AbuseIPDB API Key
  - After creating your account, you can create an api key here.
- Github
  - Create a Personal Access Token to your Github Account.
  - The bot needs to be able to create issues and read your repository.
Build and run Makoto until the console says something like "Config reloaded".
Open the config.json in the path you built Makoto in (usually bin/Debug/) and put in all values.
You're all set.
