When VOST it's on activation the bot says how many hours since the start of the activation.
Only the founders can !startactivation and !stopactivation.
When someone type !ativacao bot display how many time activation have started in hours.

• Only Founders can send to the bot a command, for example,

  • !vostia start activation <activation_name>
    As soon as the command is sent, the bot should return a message to the public channel #vost-portugal-publico with the message:

  @everyone entramos agora em ativação devido a <activation_name>

  • !vostia end activation <activation_name>
    As soon as the command is sent, the bot should return a message to the public channel #vost-portugal-publico with the message:

  @everyone acabou a ativação devido a <activation_name>. Obrigado!

  The bot should then return the total of hours since the start of the activation to the same public channel

• All users should be able to check, and get the information via PM, of current activation hours with a command, for example:

  • !vostia stats activation <activation name>

At this time the bot works in a fantastic way but:

• We have an unique code file for all the functions, resulting in having actionable data and just for fun content in the same file.

Proposal

• Clean the code
• Validate the code
• Comment the code (this is important so everyone knows what is going on with the code)
• Separate the code into multiple files, one for each use case.

Introduction

Weather warnings are fundamental and are the base of any activation for civil protection services, as well as VOST, so they should be broadcasted as fast as they are issued on our social networks.

Features

The flow, that is already implemented but with some errors (mostly formatting), is this:
IPMA Warning -> Bot -> Twitter

Examples

Aviso Açores https://twitter.com/VOSTPT/status/1109010606940700677

Aviso Madeira https://twitter.com/VOSTPT/status/1077190310474719232

Thread de Avisos Continente durante o Furacão Leslie https://twitter.com/VOSTPT/status/1051096510203613185

Request

To automatically generate individual tweets or threads when a warning is issued by IPMA, maintaining VOST Portugal's current layout (emojis and pictures/gifs).

Also important: Include in those tweets a random message from a predefined list.
Example: https://twitter.com/VOSTPT/status/1110881712542756864 ( #EstáFlatParaOGareth Boa onda é não enfrentar as ondas)

'!op id' command doesn't accept original ANEPC occurrence ID (example: 2019123456789).

The bot should accept, along with bot ID (example: 123456789), the original ANEPC ID.

PR #70

These commands should be in a separate folder called "fires", with a file for each command:
!all
!all [human|ground|air] [numero_filtrar]
!all links
!all important
!op id [numero_id]
!op if [#IFConcelho]
!op status [Despacho|Curso|Resolução|Conclusão|Vigilância]
!op distrito [nome_distrito]
!rmc

These commands should be in a separate folder called "weather", with a file for each command:
!weather
!weather tomorrow

Interaction with Twitter should be made via a separate file.

The bot should have the following behaviour:

• Listen for keywords /triggersonly on channel ID: 501329363166560263 (Our public channel) - This is item is high priority or someone will kill the bot soon (looking at you @quetzyg)

• Bot will reply to triggers only on aforementioned channel ID.

To reproduce, simply try sending a message with more than 1950 characters.

To fix:

// change
lastSentCharacter = lastPos;
// to
lastSentCharacter = lastSentCharacter + lastPos;

Bot is returning the real date+hour time plus one hour.

Bot returns error message even if there is an important event occurring

At this moment bot replies (when mentioned) only in public channel, but it should reply in all channels.

Note: "When mentioned" - '@VOSTia' (with correct Discord mention; bot ignores 'vostia')

1. Fetch only latest warnings or return message "Sem avisos recentes"
2. Broadcast automatically to Discord channel 502836523440537620 latest warning
3. Send latest warnings to Twitter account
4. Command should include Icarus warning

Since old API will be deprecated, it's necessary to change the way bot get and save IPMA warnings.
For that, was decided that the best way to do it is to implement sqlite and sequelize.

const replies = [
  'Provavelmente a melhor VOST do mundo',
  ':eyes:',
  ':heart:',
  'Sabias que a VOSTPT primeiro se chamou CONAC-TW no Twitter?',
];

module.exports = {
  name: 'Miscellaneous',
  description: 'Miscellaneous things',
  async execute(message) {
    const messageContent = message.content.toLowerCase();


    if (messageContent.includes('vostpt')) {
      const replytext = Math.floor(Math.random() * replies.length + 0);

      try {
        message.reply(replies[replytext]);
      } catch (e) {
        //
      }

      return;

Bot is returning 3 messages, not one

The bot should not reply to the user but to just send message to the public channel.
Example:
JG: A VOSTPT (...)
VOSTia: Sabias que a VOST Portugal (...)

Issue
Since 17.08.2020, the day that DGS launched a new report model, several reports were deleted from the website.
Reports 1 to 11, and report 38 return a "Not Found" message.

DGS has been formally informed that the reports are missing but has done nothing to about it.

Solution (?)

The requested feature is not a solution in itself, but a public awareness campaign for this problem.

Every day, at random hours, VOSTPTia shall check if the missing bulletins are still missing on the official repository for those . If they are still missing send a tweet mentioning DGS. The tweet content should be randomize from a given set of phrases to be written and stored, preferably, in a text file to be updated as needed be.

Bot is not fetching any acronyms

Bot is returning a string with omissions and formatting errors:
Example:
#IFGrândola,Grandola#troia

Should be
#IFGrândola, #Grândola, #Troia

If the warning is sent out to twitter between 02:00h and 6:00h:

• Bot should quote-tweet original tweet with the text " ℹ️ Enquanto dormias ℹ️ "

Define new bot criteria for important occurrences. The criteria is being discussed, but for now is:

• All year long: >50 operatives, >1h combat.

Relevant link: Previsão UV

Fetch map everyday at 9:00am and post it on channel 502412680070561803and on Twitter

Implement tests to cover the code quality and provide extra confidence when refactoring.

!stats should reply total number of means, and filtered by occurrence state

When an fire is considered 'important', publish a tweet.

!alerts returns error message

Bot replies undefined - undefined when !acronimo is requested.

Provide a server to POST requests and trigger bot messages.

Ex: POST: <server>:<port>/fuel will trigger a message in the fuel channel with info sent withing the POST.

RCM job is sending IPMA image url, instead of image file.
Discord will show a cached image from the given url, instead of showing updated image.

Bot is posting the same weather warning over and over again to Discord and Twitter.

It should only do it once
Exception: If warning is posted between 00h and 5h, it should repeat at 7am.

When someone executes ?commands, bot should react to that message, instead of replying.

Send tweets from VOSTPT account on Twitter to Discord Channel Facebook

Parse alerts form https://www.sns24.gov.pt/alertas/ and send them to a channel in Discord.

Reference: https://discordjs.guide/command-handling/adding-features.html#cooldowns

Typing the command doesn't return any values

Context

With the COVID-19 pandemic, the amount of data that has to be consumed, validated, and tweeted is immense.
FAQ are a great way to gather information in one place, but we still need to make manual tweets to announce new insertions.

Solution

Develop a feature on VOSTia that monitors a Google Sheet's responses and when a new response is inserted:

• Alerts a certain channel on Discord
• Tweets the question on twitter automatically with a general link (to be provided) and with an image attached (to be provided)

This image should be attached to all tweets that go out regarding earthquakes #ATerraTreme

Add a trigger to miscellaneous to return the registration link for new volunteers of VOST Portugal

We need to change the endpoints which the bot is getting info from.

It's not plug&play since the response structure is different since its compliant with JSON API specification.

In order to avoid cluttering channels with information, when a user sends the "?commands" command, the bot should:

• reply to the user that the command's list was sent via private message
• send commands' list via private message

Get stats from 'Já Não Dá Para Abastecer' website (with information about fuel availability in fuel stations), and publish in Twitter

Today we saw the first updates on DGS reports. To make clearer the difference between reports, it would be nice to store a checksum of the PDF in the database. Then, when the bot messages the report to Discord, it can include said checksum 😄

It might seem overkill, but it's probably a good pattern to keep for future bot jobs/commands.

WDYT?

• Permitir adicionar acrónimo se não existir
  O acrónimo não consta na base de dados! Queres adicionar (s/n)?
  Se sim: Então diz-me o que significa [Acrónimo não encontrado]
  Recebe
  Retorna: Muito obrigado!

• Integração com o Twitter
  Permitir a qualquer utilizador perguntar "O que significa [Acrónimo]?"
  Se constar na base de dados devolve "[Acrónimo] significa "descrição"
  Se não constar da base de dados devolve "Não sabemos o que isso significa mas vamos tratar de saber." (Envia mensagem para o Discord com "@here alguém no Twitter quer saber o que quer dizer [Acrónimo])

Estou ciente que isto pode alimentar trolls mas podemos criar uma blacklist de palavras.

Bot command !op if <city> should retrieve all fires that occur in a given city or county (even if the given string isn't complete).

Status of "Despacho" and "Despacho 1º alerta" are switched

Parse alerts form https://www.portaldascomunidades.mne.pt/pt/alertas and send them to a channel in Discord.

Due to recent found vulnerabilities in the library we should swap it.

!all and !all links delivered by DM only to avoid spam in the channels

Command needs a fix to only send one message to the designated channel. At the moment it's sending one per minute for one hour.

VOSTia is not:

• Not posting, in real time, incidents to #sismos_tsunamis channel of earthquakes => 2.5
• Not posting to Twitter

Change tweet structure to this:
#<warning_level> devido a #<warning_type> entre as <start_HH:mm> de <relative_start_date> <start_DDMMMYY> e as <end_HH:mm> de <relative_end_date> <end_DDMMMYY> para os distritos de <warning_issued_districts>
Example:
ℹ️⚠️☀🌡 #AvisoAmarelo devido a #TempoQuente entre as 00:00 de hoje 15AGO19 e as 20:00 de amanhã 16AGO19 para os distritos de #Beja, #CasteloBranco, #Évora e #Portalegre ☀🌡⚠️ℹ️

We need also to change image tweet to the newest warning images.
