/mapvid
Request a video of the progress per day from a given game.
Requirements
- Bot can send messages - to send the video.
- Bot can embed links - so that when the bot sends the video's url, Discord loads it and you can watch from the app without downloading.
- User can use application commands - so that the user is able to view and use the bot's commands.
What It Does
/mapvid
generates a video of a map's daily (ingame) progress which is then stored in the website.
There's a total of 3 subcommands (sup, cow, io) for Supremacy 1914, Call of War 1942 and Iron Order 1919, respectively. They are all the same.
By default this command returns a video in which each ingame day equals a second. This command can NOT generate more than 1 image per ingame day since it grabs the data from the newspaper.
The map generated is the same as the one generated by /mapinfo
with the -countries
parameter.
There's also the option to set a day counter somewhere in the video and modify the video speed.

Additional Notes
- Make sure the bot has all permissions required.
- If the maps fail to generate, check the original message to see what's going on.
- The videos will be theoretically always available at the same URL. If deleted, request a video in the support server, since at the very least the most complete video available will be stored.
- Any further questions can be answered in the Official Server.
