Hellgate Watcher

A Discord bot that monitors and reports recent 2v2 and 5v5 Hellgate battles from Albion Online servers.

Upgrades

• Replaced JSON storage with a real database, allowing for a huge increase in throughput.
• Switched backend to GO to utilize goroutines, allowing for a significant performance increase

Features

• Automatic Battle Reporting: Periodically fetches new Hellgate battles on the specified Albion Online servers (Europe, Americas, and Asia).
• Image Generation: Generates images of battle reports showing teams, their gear, and the outcome.
• Server and Mode specific: Allows setting up different channels for different servers and Hellgate modes (2v2 or 5v5).
• Configurable: Most settings, such as the battle check interval and image generation settings, can be configured.
