Rashtriya Rifles (31st) Discord Bot

A custom-built Discord bot designed for immersive, realistic military roleplay and simulation for the Rashtriya Rifles (31st) Roblox community. This bot focuses on military discipline, chain of command, and permanent data records.

Features

• Military Rank Structure: 16 ranks from Sepoy up to General, following realistic hierarchies.
• Loadout / Combat Roles: Rifleman, Sniper, Medic, Radioman, Engineer, Machine Gunner.
• Operations & Reports: Ability to schedule operations and submit detailed After Action Reports (AARs).
• Attendance & LOA: Automated logging for operation attendance and Leaves of Absence (LOA).
• Squad System: Allows command to create sub-units (squads), assign squad leaders, and move personnel into them.
• Permanent Service Records: Every promotion, demotion, role reassignment, and operation attendance is logged into a permanent user file.
• Channel Database: No external SQL/NoSQL database required. The bot uses a designated Discord channel to save its db.json file as an attachment. It retrieves and uploads to this channel on startup and after data updates.
