Welcome to the efforts of countless hours of learning and failed attempts at writing code that culminated into this project known as Gatekeeper! Originally this started out as a bot to bring CubeCoders AMP to Discord with support for only Minecraft, but has evolved into this encompasing project of providing support for any type of server AMP can run along with providing as many of AMPs core features inside of Discord.

Need Support or have questions? Please visit my Discord and post in the respective channels. Come Join my Discord - Kat's Paradise

1. Please visit Creating a Bot Account
   • Use this Scope and Permissions -> Permissions

1. Create an AMP user for the Bot with Super Admins role, must be done on the Global AMP Home Screen GUI.
   • Usually this is the URL ending in 8080 when connecting to AMP. (eg. http://X.X.X.X:8080)
2. Follow the instructions in tokenstemplate.py file -> tokenstemplate.py
3. From Command Line run script start.py (eg. ../Discord Bot/start.py)
   • Run the bot, it will finish installing the rest of the requirements.
4. See Interacting with the Bot~

1. Create an AMP user for the Bot with Super Admins role, must be done on the Global AMP Home Screen GUI.
   • Usually this is the URL ending in 8080 when connecting to AMP. (eg. http://X.X.X.X:8080)
2. Create a new instance of GatekeeperV2 in a container. (The container option can be found under Configuration -> New Instance Defaults)
3. Configure the settings in the GatekeeperV2 Instance under the Configuration -> Bot Settings, click Update, then start the bot.
4. See Interacting with the Bot~

• After Gatekeeper has connected to your server, please run the command $bot utils sync.
  • This should populate all of its available commands to your guild.
• See Commands for a full list of all Bot Commands and how to use them.
  • TIP: Parameters such as role and channel support IDs and names

• When commands are added or removed it is highly suggested that you reset your command tree and re-sync
  • See Bot Commands /bot utils sync for details on how to reset your local command tree.

• Use /bot moderator (role) and the bot will add that role as the minimum required role to interact with the bot.
  • TIP: Use this if you want NON-Discord Admins to have the ability to interact with the bot
  • It does honor the role heirarchy set via Discord -> Server Settings -> Roles.
  • Want more control? See Setting up Custom Permissions.

• Use /server console channel (channel) and the bot will begin sending AMP Console messages to that channel.
  • TIP: You can also send AMP Console commands through that Discord Channel to the Dedicated Server.
  • ATTENTION: Interacting with the console this way requires a special permission node server.console.interact or having Discord Admin and or Bot Moderator Role.

• Use /server chat channel (channel) and the bot will begin sending AMP Chat messages to that channel.
  • TIP: You can also send Chat messages through that Discord Channel to the Dedicated Server.

• User /server event channel (channel) and the bot will begin sending AMP Event messages to that channel.
  • Events are when a player Joins or Leaves and Achievements.

• Use /whitelist channel (channel) to set a channel for the bot to check whitelist requests.
  • ATTENTION: The Bot will not do anything with those requests unless you turn on auto-whitelist
• Use /whitelist auto true to allow the bot to handle whitelist requests in your whitelist channel!
  • ATTENTION: The Bot has a default wait time of 5 minutes, after the wait time is up they are whitelisted.
• Use /whitelist waittime (time) to adjust the Bot's wait time after a whitelist request.
  • TIP: You can set this value to None or 0 to allow the bot to instantly whitelist the user.

• First, set all your servers settings/information. See Server Commands

  • Adjust your settings on via sub commands such as Host, Description, DisplayName, PrefixandWhitelist` to name a few.
  • TIP: You can do this after you set your Display Banner location, the bot will updated the information automatically.

• Pick which style of Display you'd like. The Bot supports Discord Embeds or Custom Images.

  • Use /bot banner type (type) and select the type of display you'd like.

• Use /server display in the channel you wish to display your Server Status/Info..

  • TIP: You can pin the messages and thus never moving them!
  • ATTENTION: The Bot will update these banners every minute with current AMP and DB Information.

• These are append to the command line when launching the bot. (eg. start.py -super)
  • -token - Bypasse tokens validation check. (Mandatory for AMP Template Installations/Operations)
  • -command - Enable slash command print statements for user traceback.
  • -super - This leaves AMP Super Admin role intact, use at your own risk.
  • -dev - Enable development print statments. (used for development)
  • -debug - Enables DEBUGGING level for logging. (used for development)
  • -discord - Disables Discord Intigration (used for testing)

• Log into your dedicated server/VPS via root.
• You are then going to use the following command to create a service script for your Gatekeeper nano /etc/systemd/system/gatekeeper.service
  • Once done, input the following information into the service file.

[Unit]
Description= GateKeeperv2
After= network.service

[Service]
Type= simple
WorkingDirectory= # This points to the directory of Gatekeeperv2 files (eg. '/home/gatekeeper')
ExecStart= #This points to the python3 script. (eg. 'ExecStart=/usr/bin/python3.9 /home/gatekeeper/start.py')
Restart= always 
RestartSec= 15

[Install]
WantedBy= multi-user.target

systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable gatekeeper.service
systemctl start gatekeeper.service

• Use systemctl status gatekeeper.service to see the status of the Gatekeeper Service!
