Vana-Time.com - Vanadiel Timers And Schedules

Hello~

I'm happy to announce one of my side projects that been in the works for some time, VanaTime. I mentioned it in a different thread but figure it better to have a dedicated thread for it here.

What is VanaTime
VanaTime began as a modern refresh of Pyogenes, rebuilt with a phone-friendly UI, automated refreshes, and Discord integration so servers stay in sync. The goal is to keep classic FFXI timers accurate and accessible while adding quality-of-life improvements for today's community.

• Added page for RoE (limited time) schedule and display active + upcoming.

• Discord bot got /roe for same information

I use it on our discord server and love it so far. I use "/subscribe all"



1.) Is there a way to list subscriptions/subscriptions options? It feels kind of kludgy to unsubscribe/subscribe over and over to see what's been subscribed to. I've only see /subscribe update once and it was when I typed the /subscribe command. I assume when there is an official update on POL it'll appear in this discord channel too?

2.) Also, can there be a /campaignlist command? (to see what campaigns are currently active)

1. I believe /status should give you that info.
2. There isn't but it wouldn't take long to do. I can get that fixed over the weekend.

Thank you so much!

Can I trouble you to add a "/vanatime help" that lists all of the commands? Sometimes discord recommends other bots' commands and I would prefer that your bot tell me what it is/isn't a valid command. :)

Edit: Other bot authors have configured their bots to DM the operator with help output. I don't know if that's necessarily useful, but just sharing.

That's possible, I thought bots were still restricted into sending DMs but I guess it been revised by Discord. I'll look into it.
Edit: Was easier than I expected, /help is deployed and will try DM first and as a fallback list commands in the channel.

Wow this is really well done, definitely better than my personal attempts at the same stuff for discord bots!

Just wanted to point out, you're catching the Return Home to Vana'diel and Discount campaigns twice at the moment, because SE like to do an "announcing" and an "active" post for them (they like to do the same for login campaigns), you're probably aware but it makes that feed kinda spammy

Yeah, they do that. I patched it yesterday so the alerts shouldnt be "duplicated" so hopefully it wont happen when they start duplicate next campaigns or January update.

Edit: To clarify, the bot will still get 2 alerts for announceing and when it starts, but the patching fixes so the titles are not identical. I think it still good to get both but on the website it won't display both, when the "Now underway" post is found it will hide the "Announcing the..." post.
