FTAB

FTAB is the Forts Tools answer bot for Discord. It answers questions about the game Forts from the data this site publishes.

What it does

/ask answers a question about Forts, cites the rows it used and names the game build. That covers weapons, devices, materials, projectiles, commanders, maps, changes between builds, the ranked board, a player's ranked record, open ranked lobbies, running matches and the current player count.
Attach a .fwr replay, or a log2.dat or log3.dat file, to /ask and ask about that file.
/replay reads a .fwr replay and reports the map, the duration, the players, the commanders and the winner.
/telemetry reads a log2.dat or log3.dat file and reports the match-history summary.
/leaderboard shows the current ranked standings, or the standings of one player.
/lobbies lists ranked lobbies that are looking for an opponent.
/matches lists ranked matches that are running now.
/rankedping, on a Discord server, messages you when a ranked lobby opens within 250 of your target score, or when a player you name hosts one. It is not part of the user-app install.
A question that is not about Forts, or that the published data does not answer, is declined.

How to use it

In Discord, run /ask with your question. The question is required. You may attach one .fwr, log2.dat or log3.dat file.

For example: /ask what does a cannon cost

What it stores

When its store is on, FTAB keeps each public /ask question and the answer it sent, with the Discord user, channel and message ids. It also keeps each command, including the Discord user's id and name. A /rankedping subscription keeps the Discord user and the Steam name or id they entered. When the store is off, those records are not written.
