Duel Reminder

The Duel Reminder module automatically sends daily embeds with duel strategies for Dark War Survival. Each day of the week has its own template with a dedicated strategy.

Enabling the Module

1. Dashboard → Your server → toggle Duel Reminder
2. Click Edit and configure the channel and send time
3. Save changes

Configuration

Option	Type	Default	Description
channel_id	string / null	null	Channel for reminders (required)
send_hour	number (0–23)	8	Send hour
send_minute	number (0–59)	0	Send minute
timezone_offset	number	2	Timezone offset (UTC+X)
last_message_id	string / null	—	ID of last sent message (auto)
templates	object / null	null	Custom templates (null = defaults)

Dashboard — Configuration

The edit panel contains:

• Channel — dropdown with text channels
• Send Time — hour + minute fields
• Timezone — UTC offset (e.g., +2 for CEST)
• Templates — per-day template editing (optional)

How It Works

1. Every minute the bot checks if the configured time has arrived
2. If so and it hasn't been sent today:
   • Deletes yesterday's message (to keep the channel clean)
   • Builds an embed from the current day's template
   • Sends the new message
   • Saves the message ID (for deletion the next day)

Channel Cleanup

The bot automatically deletes the previous message before sending a new one — this way the channel always contains only the current day's strategy.

Templates

Templates are organized per day of the week:

{
  "Monday": {
    "content": "@everyone",
    "embed": {
      "title": "⚔️ Monday Strategy",
      "description": "Today we fight with infantry...",
      "color": "#E74C3C",
      "image": "https://...",
      "footer": { "text": "Good luck!" }
    }
  },
  "Tuesday": { ... },
  "Wednesday": { ... },
  ...
}

Default Templates

If templates in the configuration is null, the bot uses default templates from the duel_templates.json file.

Custom Templates

Through the dashboard, you can override templates for each day of the week with your own:

• Text above the embed (content)
• Embed title
• Description (strategy)
• Color
• Image
• Thumbnail
• Footer

Commands

/duel send

Manually sends today's reminder (Admin only).

Useful for:

• First test after configuration
• Re-sending if something went wrong
• Forcing an immediate send

/duel preview

Preview of today's template without sending to the channel (ephemeral).

Timezone

The bot uses the configured UTC offset to:

• Determine "today's" day of the week
• Check if the send time has arrived

Example

Setting timezone_offset: 2 (UTC+2 / CEST) means that send_hour: 8 will send the message at 8:00 AM Polish summer time (6:00 UTC).

Listened Events

The module does not listen to Discord events — it works exclusively on a scheduled task (tasks.loop).

Scheduled Task

• _daily_check — checks all servers with the module enabled every minute

Tips

Best practices

• Set send_hour to one hour before the typical duel time in the game
• Use content: "@everyone" in the template to ping the entire server
• Set up a dedicated channel (e.g., #duel-strategy) — the bot maintains only one message there
• Use images in templates — visual strategies are more readable

Testing

Use /duel preview to see what today's template looks like without sending to the channel. When you're satisfied, /duel send will send it immediately.

warning

The module requires a configured channel_id. Without a channel, reminders will not be sent (but the bot won't report an error — it will simply skip the server).
