This project completes the trio alongside d-back and d-zone.

d-cogs is a plugin for Red-DiscordBot that connects real Discord events to the backend server (d-back) — powering the d-zone frontend with live data.

I’ve worked with Red-DiscordBot in the past and developed custom cogs for managing Discord communities, so getting started here was quick. The cog system in Red is quite flexible, making it easy to hook into relevant events and forward them.

d-cogs depends on d-back and registers the appropriate callbacks. From there, it streams real-time events like user presence and messages into the simulation, making d-zone reflect actual Discord activity.

⚙️ Config Options

The cog supports a few basic configuration flags:

  • Set OAuth2 client ID and secret
  • Toggle OAuth2 protection for frontend access
  • Toggle whether to ignore offline users
  • Optionally serve custom static files over d-back

With all three parts now connected — the cog plugin, the WebSocket server, and the frontend — this system functions end-to-end. While d-cogs itself is relatively lightweight, it plays the key role of injecting real data into the simulation.
