Install Guide: Annoying TalkBot for DC — Settings, Tips, and PranksWarning: use responsibly. Annoying other people, disrupting services, or harassing users may violate rules, terms of service, or laws. This guide focuses on playful, consensual pranks among friends and customization for private, permitted environments.
What is Annoying TalkBot for DC?
Annoying TalkBot for DC is a playful chatbot modification designed to run within Discord (DC) servers or direct messages. It’s built to deliver deliberately irritating — yet humorous — responses, timed interruptions, exaggerated voice clips, and repetitive catchphrases to create a comedic “annoying” persona. People use it for light-hearted pranks, roleplay, and content creation (short skits, streams, etc.), but it should never be used to harass, spam, or target unwilling participants.
Legal and safety checklist (read before installing)
- Obtain consent from server admins and affected users.
- Check Discord Terms of Service and Community Guidelines — automated bots that spam or harass can lead to bans.
- Avoid targeted harassment, doxxing, or sharing personal info.
- Rate-limit actions to prevent server disruption and API abuse.
- Keep backup of original bot code and configs to revert changes.
Prerequisites
- A Discord account with access to the server where you’ll add the bot.
- Node.js (v16 or newer recommended) and npm installed, or Python 3.8+ if using a Python-based bot.
- Basic familiarity with the command line, text editors, and Discord bot creation.
- A bot token from the Discord Developer Portal (keep it secret).
- Optional: Text-to-speech (TTS) API keys, audio hosting, or a voice connection library (discord.js voice, @discordjs/voice, or discord.py’s voice modules).
Installing the bot (Node.js / discord.js example)
-
Create a project folder and initialize:
mkdir annoying-talkbot && cd annoying-talkbot npm init -y
-
Install dependencies:
npm install discord.js @discordjs/voice node-fetch dotenv
-
Create a .env file with your bot token:
BOT_TOKEN=your_bot_token_here PREFIX=!
-
example index.js starter: “`javascript require(‘dotenv’).config(); const { Client, Intents } = require(‘discord.js’); const client = new Client({ intents: [Intents.FLAGS.GUILDS, Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MESSAGES] }); const PREFIX = process.env.PREFIX || ‘!’;
client.once(‘ready’, () => { console.log(Logged in as ${client.user.tag}
); });
client.on(‘messageCreate’, message => { if (message.author.bot) return; if (!message.content.startsWith(PREFIX)) return; const args = message.content.slice(PREFIX.length).trim().split(/ +/); const cmd = args.shift().toLowerCase();
if (cmd === ‘annoy’) {
message.channel.send('Hey! Are you *sure* you want to do that? 😜');
} if (cmd === ‘repeat’) {
const text = args.join(' ') || 'I will not stop repeating!'; message.channel.send(text);
} });
client.login(process.env.BOT_TOKEN);
--- ### Key settings to configure - Command prefix (e.g., !, ?, .) — set in .env for easy changes. - Rate limits and cooldowns — prevent spam; set per-command cooldowns (e.g., 10–30 seconds). - Allowed channels/roles — restrict prank commands to designated channels and to trusted roles. - Blacklist users — exclude users who opt-out. - Volume and TTS options — limit loud voice clips and use short clips only. --- ### Annoying features and how to implement them - Repetitive catchphrases: make a pool of short lines and randomly pick one. - Delayed replies: use setTimeout to send follow-ups after 5–15 seconds for "persistent" annoyance. - Ping spams (use cautiously): batch pings with delays and only in consented channels. - Voice clips: join voice channels and play short, looped clips with @discordjs/voice. - Keyword hijack: respond when certain trigger words appear, but add cooldowns to avoid abuse. - Roleplay persona: add a description and bio commands so users can interact with the “character.” Code example — random delayed follow-up: ```javascript function randomFollowUp(channel, lines) { const line = lines[Math.floor(Math.random() * lines.length)]; const delay = 3000 + Math.floor(Math.random() * 12000); // 3–15s setTimeout(() => channel.send(line), delay); }
Tuning annoyances to be funny, not harmful
- Keep messages short and non-offensive.
- Avoid repeated pings that override notification settings for long periods.
- Make opt-out easy: !stop, !mute, or react with an emoji to silence the bot.
- Provide a help command describing behavior and opt-out steps.
Example prank scripts (consensual)
- “Persistent Reminder”: owner triggers !persistent in a voice channel; bot joins and every 30s says “Did you forget me?” for 3 cycles, then stops.
- “Echo Ghost”: when someone types “hello”, bot replies with the previous message plus “— did you mean this?” then deletes after 10s.
- “Annoying DJ”: bot plays a short, silly jingle on a loop for 20 seconds in a voice channel.
Moderation and recovery
- Always include an emergency !shutdown or admin-only kill switch.
- Log all actions to a private mod channel with timestamps.
- Respect “report” messages — provide a way for users to flag misbehavior.
- Keep backups of configs and audio assets.
Troubleshooting
- Bot not responding: check intents, token validity, and bot permissions.
- Voice issues: ensure FFmpeg is installed and the voice library versions match discord.js.
- Spamming: increase cooldowns and add stricter role/channel checks.
Example commands list
- !annoy — single short annoying line.
- !repeat [text] — repeats provided text (with length limit).
- !persistent — temporary repetitive reminders (admin only).
- !mute / !unmute — per-user opt-out.
- !shutdown — admin only.
Closing notes
Use Annoying TalkBot for DC as a tool for fun among consenting friends, not as a weapon to harass or disrupt. Proper configuration, clear opt-outs, and respect for rules keep pranks entertaining rather than harmful.
