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

Enable the module

Dashboard → Your server → toggle Duel Reminder

Configure channel and time

Click Edit and configure the channel and send time

Save

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

Time check

Every minute the bot checks if the configured time has arrived

Delete previous message

If it's time and it hasn't been sent today, deletes yesterday's message (to keep the channel clean)

Build and send

Builds an embed from the current day's template and sends the new message

Save reference

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

Timezone 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.

Channel Required

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).
