Loot Hoard D&D Discord Bot

Loot Hoard is a Discord bot that can automatically split loot amongst any number of players in a D&D game, based off of the coins and values from traditional D&D rules.

Once added to a Discord server, users can trigger the /split command with two parameters:

• players -> The number of players to split the loot for (e.g. 4)
• loot -> The actual loot you want split, in a comma separated list (e.g. 10p,20g,40e,80s,160c)
  • See the Coin class for the various identifiers that can be used for different coins. As an example, 10 Gold, 10g, and 10gp will all be recognized as 10 Gold coins.

The bot will then respond with a message indicating the calculated loot for each player, and any leftover (if the loot couldn't be evenly split).

/split 4 10p,20g,40e,80s,160c will trigger the response:

Splitting 10 Platinum, 20 Gold, 40 Electrum, 80 Silver, and 160 Copper amongst 4 players...
Each player receives 37 Gold, and 4 Silver.

Currently, loot is rounded to the nearest value in Gold.

Hosting the Bot

If you'd like to host a version of this bot yourself, you'll need to:

1. Create a new application for the bot in the Discord Developer Portal

2. Download the jar from the latest release, ** or** build from source yourself by running ./gradlew build and getting the generated jar file in bot/build/libs/ (Should look like LootHoardDiscordBot-<version>.jar)

3. Make sure that you have an application.properties file containing the bot's private token (can be found from the Discord application's page -> Settings -> Bot), like so:

discord.botToken=<BOT PRIVATE TOKEN HERE>

Note that you don't want to use String quotations ("") around the private token. I'm not entirely sure why, but the token will be parsed without periods and some other symbols if String quotations are used.

1. Run the bot! You'll need Java 17 to run the bot. Note that the bot will automatically look for the necessary application.properties file from the directory it's run in, or from a config subdirectory in the same spot. You can pass in the -Dspring.config.location=<config directory> flag before the -jar identifier to set the config location, if you're running from somewhere other than the directory that the jar is in (e.g. for running from systemd on boot).

As an example, my systemd service looks like the following:

[Unit]
Description=Run Loot Hoard Discord Bot
After=multi-user.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/bin/bash -c '/usr/bin/java -Dspring.config.location=/home/<username>/LootHoard/config/ -jar /home/<username>/LootHoard/*.jar'

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
