This integration connects the JSON webcalls made by the Pixels app to Discord Web Hooks. It is more a proof of concept than anything else; using it requires some technical understanding and it is therefore not intended for general use (though it does work).

To use it, first of all you’ll need to check out the repository and have Node.js (and thereby NPM) installed. I tested the application with Node.js 20.9.0 and cannot guarantee that it will work with a different version.

When you have the project checked out and Node.js installed, open a command line prompt (e.g. PowerShell on Windows, Term on macOS or whatever console emulator you run on Linux) and navigate into the directory in which the project is checked out. (If you don’t know how to navigate to the directory, ask Google.) There, run the following command to install dependencies: npm i

Next, you have to create a file called .env in the source directory. You can do so by copying the template.env file to a new .env file. In this file there are two values: PORT and DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL. PORT:: This will be the local port that the service will run on. If you don’t set it, it will default to port 3000. DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL:: This will be the webhook URL for the channel to which you want the roll results published. The article Intro to Webhooks in the Discord documentation explains how to create one of those, specifically follow the "Making a Webhook" section. Within Discord, you can call it whatever you want (though I recommend something that makes clear, that this is your Pixels dice integration). Then click on the "Copy Webhook URL" button in Discord and paste it into the new .env file. It should look something like this:

Once all that is done, you can run the command npm run dev to start the application server. It will start listening on the computer you’re running this application on.

You will have to check, what the IP of your computer within your local network is. These IPs (assuming an IPv4) will usually look like one of these:

• 10.XXX.XXX.XXX

• 172.XX.XXX.XXX

• 192.168.XXX.XXX

(where the X’s are replaced with digits, though sometimes fewer than in those examples.)

In your Pixels App (on iOS or Android), create a profile which calls a webhook on certain events. Under "Send request to URL", enter an address that is made up in the following way:

Here, the part <your local ip> is replaced with the IP address you looked up earlier and <your port> is either the value you set for PORT in the .env file or 3000 if you didn’t set anything.

Save and upload this profile to your Pixels die and start rolling.
