Nihonium

Prediction of advance or something

Status:

Added

As of 0.5.2, nh!threadInfo has a section for Estimated Completion Date.

allow the bot to post in tgoradaswh

Status:

Denied

Beyond the ability to roll a dice, it's unclear what advantage this would have.

Update 1 (Jul. 1, '21): I might make it so that certain threads can only use certain commands.

Update 2 (Aug. 5, '21): Now that we have TGOHNRADFYASWH, there's no need for this.

Allow rolling on TBGs Play monopoly

Status:

Denied

The ability to call a command and have dice be rolled would be useful, but the bot only posts at a speed of once every 30 minutes, likely too slow for gameplay.

Update 1 (Jul. 4, '21): After checking pg. 20 of the topic, it looks like gameplay is surprisingly slow, with the average distance between rolls on pg. 20 being 1,248 minutes. (Though this may not be accurate, as I measured the distance by hand.)

Update 2 (Aug. 18, '23): TBGs Play Monopoly appears to be dead, so this won't be added.

Post reminder (like "notify me at post 100000 to do something")

Status:

Undecided

This could be useful, but would require a database or JSON file to keep track of reminders, and there's a risk of reminders being dropped due to crashes.

make the bot respond faster

Status:

Considered

The current speed is quite slow, but this is to prevent inflating the view count of the threads, which is unavoidable with the way the bot gathers data. On average, the bot views around 2 or 3 pages per visit, though this could be increased by downtime or spikes in activity.

Update 1 (Jul. 1, '21): I've been thinking about it some more, and 2 or 3 pages is a really small number. It takes about 10 seconds to reload a page three times. If I do decrease the delay, it'll probably be to 15 or 20 minutes.

Update 2 (Aug. 5, '21): Given that I've made a view bot for a spin-off of the PostID threads and no-one really cared, I don't think "too many views" is a problem. However, if enough threads have commands used in them, there could be a risk of parse-cycle delays.

Update 3 (Aug. 18, '23): As of 0.13.1, forks can now customize the time between parse cycles. Because the time of the next cycle is decided at the start of a cycle, short cycle lengths may cause cycles to be delayed if too many threads have commands parsed in a single cycle.

transporting posts from here to discord and vice versa (i'm working on this)

Status:

Denied

No. The way the bot's code is formatted right now is very incompatible with the format of a Discord bot, and would likely require completely restructureing the code to support this.

official nihonium thread (just use postID 0 for now)

Status:

Denied

I'll probably do that once there are more commands, but for now I'll just use PostID 0, like you said.

Update 1 (Aug. 5, '21): On second thought, there's no real reason to do this.

change the <title> of Suggestions page

Status:

Fixed

Oh, did I forget to do that? My bad.

make nihonium's website link on here be nihonium's webpage

Status:

Done

Done.

Birthday command

Status:

Planned

Not sure how this would be useful, but it shouldn't be that hard to implement.

add text command documentation to the site

Status:

Added

Sorry about being slow on that.

bump command

Status:

Delayed

Making a bump command for the current thread would be easy (albeit redundant), but making a bump command for any thread would require some extra thought.

Update 1 (Aug. 5, '21): Whoops, forgot about this.

Music in official website

Status:

Denied

What exactly do you mean by this?

Update 1 (Jul. 4, '21):

I'm not sure I see what the point is, nor do I have an idea of what the music would be. It would also probably be annoying.

xkcd

Status:

Denied

While there's probably some API for it, xkcd isn't the most kid-friendly, so no.

Rewrite entire code to fit as a Discord bot

Status:

Denied

N-no! That would take forever!

Show sum of dies rolled (like Grogar)

Status:

Added

As of 0.6.7, nh!dice now shows the total number rolled.

replace   with a space after splitting into subcommands

Status:

Denied

Shouldn't be too difficult.

Update 1 (Aug. 19, '23): Turns out the forum converts non-breaking spaces to regular spaces.

set up miniTWOW (search it up of you don't know)

Status:

Undecided

As a matter of fact, I do know. However, setting one up would be somewhat complicated, and might require a database.

update the website more often

Status:

Delayed

Sorry about that, I'll try to do it more often; maybe on the weekends.

Update nh!help

Status:

Done

I do need to add nh!rolladice...

Update 1 (Aug. 19, '23): As of 0.13.1, nh!rolladice and nh!choose have been added.

subcommand help

Status:

Soon

I'll probably implement that with the command class I'm planning to implement.

maintain or make leaderboard in Top 100 Posters

Status:

Denied

This would probably require reworking some of the bot, would likely make the bot freeze for several minutes each time it does it, and there's no current way to "schedule" it. Sorry, but no.

nh!suggestions - returns a list of suggestions, or at least the webpage

Status:

Undecided

I'll think about it - though this may require removing answered suggestions.

update suggestions

Status:

Done

Done.

Do not have Nihonium support the wicked a.k.a. the viewbots

Status:

Denied

I don't think there are any viewbots with accounts. If you mean not letting people who make viewbots use Nihonium, it'd be a bit weird if I couldn't use my own bot?

update the Post ID hub

Status:

Not Done

Unfortunately, I don't have control over that.

Add coin images to nihonium

Status:

Soon

...where?

Update 1 (Aug. 18, '23): See S34.

subcommand to see the list of possible die-rolls and their effects

Status:

Denied

Since the list is in the first post of TGOHNRADFYASWH, I don't really see the point.

a fight simulator kinda like what discord bots do or something

Status:

Denied

Could... could you maybe elaborate on that? It's not clear what you want.

put command description in __doc__

Status:

Soon

Sure, though I'll likely be doing this after making the command class.

Nihonium support for Top 100 Posters

Status:

Denied

I don't really see the point of this.

maybe each roll should have a small cooldown by default to prevent multiple die-rolls from happening in the same post

Status:

Denied

That seems like a good idea.

Update 1 (Dec. 29, '21): Due to some reworks with nh!rolladice, this is no longer necessary.

nh!deathmatch x y

Status:

Undecided

That seems like a good idea.

Coin images when flipping coins

That seems like a good idea.

That shouldn't be too hard to make.

How, exactly?

use **kwargs on commands for future use

Status:

Undecided

See S40.

last parse cycle time

Status:

Undecided

What exactly do you mean by this? Do you mean the time of the last parse-cycle, the time since the last parse-cycle, the time the last parse-cycle took, or something else?

Auto-bump topics in case of another flood bump, long cooldown (~36 hours)

Status:

Denied

That doesn't seem like a good idea. How would Nihonium know what topics to bump?

nh!trolladice - A secret command that can be found when mistyping nh!rolladice, function unknown due to being a suggested easter egg

Status:

Considered

Interesting. But what would it do?

Have Nihonium run at "night" as well since it would be unfair for people who live ahead of UTC (A 4 hour cooldown is now a 14 hour cooldown)

Status:

Considered

I've been thinking of doing that, but the problem is that I currently host Nihonium on a Windows PC, and the only other thing to host it on would be a Raspberry Pi 4, which tends to freeze occasionally when I work on FightSim.
Plus, working on it on the Pi would likely be annoying.

Update 1 (Aug. 20, '23): And now I'm not using the Pi, so this is even less likely.

nh!rolladice takes post time as measure and not the processed time (for example, if a command was used at 4:14 am and was processed at 4:30 am, the time counted is 4:14 am and not 4:30 am).

Status:

Considered

It shouldn't be too hard to get the time of posting, but the main problem is figuring out how to parse stuff like "Today 3:45:07 AM" or "Yesterday 4:50:24 PM".

user links on TGOHNRADFYASWH leaderboard

Status:

Undecided

While that seems like a good idea, I'm not entirely sure it's neccessary. Plus, adding links would require using quote instead of code.

Call the non-released versions of Nihonium as Ununtrium

Status:

Not Done

Funny, but there aren't really any "unreleased" versions yet.

find commands not just on the first line

Status:

Added

I'm still not sure how to implement that, but I'll try.

Update 1 (Dec. 31, '21): I've managed to implement this. It wasn't too hard, except for filtering out quote tags and code tags.

an emulated shell for accessing files

Status:

Denied

This seems like it would be really hard for something no-one would use.

estimated time of next parse cycle

Status:

Undecided

I... guess I could put it in nh!botinfo?

word wrap on Suggestion page

Status:

Not Done

Your browser does it for you already, so I don't need to do anything.

verbose mode (give debug stuff to siggy)

Status:

Considered

That might be helpful, but what would be put there?

Show mean average, mode average, lowest die & highest die in dice rolls

Status:

Planned

This seems like they would be less useful with smaller rolls, so they'd probably only be show have larger rolls.

either use BeautifulSoup everywhere or not use it at all

Status:

Denied

It's the easiest way to handle some problems, but not all of them.

random image selector, it selects an image from a group of 15 imgs or so.

Status:

Considered

Like Trendy's !mfw command?

a rickroll detector

Status:

Denied

What would it detect rickrolls in? How would it detect them?

make rolling a 9 actually work by having nihonium look at the last post value on the roller's account page

Status:

Denied

If I'm going to be scraping user pages, then I'd rather scrape useful information, like usernames.
Also by the time the command gets parsed, their last post was probably several minutes ago.

list estimates in code tags instead of quotes

Status:

Done

Sure.

update https://tbgforums.com/forums/viewtopic.php?pid=660960#p660960 !!!!!!

Status:

Done

I update the Suggestions page very infrequently, so this probably isn't the best way to remind me.
