Elisif

Formerly known as Sif Casino, Elisif is an all-in-one casino, music, and moderation discord bot built with javascript. Primarily a casino discord bot, with evolving customizability, tons of casino games, and modernized features rewritten from the old Sif Casino code.

Usage

To run this bot, first clone the source code to your machine. Then, install all dependencies like so:

npm i

After dependencies are installed, get your bot credentials. If you have not yet created a bot user, create one here. Once you have created a bot user, copy its token. Replace your token here with your bot's token in the .env file. If you require a specific port to run your bot's webserver, you can also modify the port option in the env file; otherwise, the default port value will work.

After those steps have been finished, start the bot by running the following console command:

npm start

Note that this discord bot runs on discord.js v12, and does not use the latest versions of the Discord API. As such, intents are not required to use the bot. However, since the API version being used is currently deprecated, the bot may stop working in the future. It was last tested successfully in September 2020.

Backstory

I first wrote Sif Casino about 2 years ago (January 2019). It had deeply flawed, disorganized, inefficient code. About half a year after first writing Sif Casino, I made updates to another of my bots, Project Sif, and rewrote a bit of Sif Casino to match Sif's efficiency.

And now, it's 2020. My ZH-bot and Scav-bot discord bots are over twenty times more efficient and neat than even Project Sif's code. So I began the weeks-long quest of rewriting the entirety of Sif Casino, every single one of the 21 files, to better match the abilities of my latest bots. And the rewrite was a success!

Elisif is now incredibly modern and efficient. Commands like /hit and /stand were replaced with message collectors. The help command is no longer a long, ugly list, and instead utilizes an interactive reaction pagination menu. All commands are loaded in via a highly automated, efficient command handler. Certain features that go far beyond the bot's regular featureset, such as music, moderation, and logging, will be addable via extension packs that are included with the bot and are toggleable (like modules). And Elisif has never been more customizable. When the Settings Update releases, the bot will go far beyond its current ability to change the command prefix in your guild: extensions will be able to be enabled/disabled, command and music channels will be able to be set, guild starting balance will be customizable, battleship turn limits will be modifiable, dollars per message will be customizable with limits, custom commands will be addable, and the bot will have an option to be disabled in your guild if you want to disable it.
