Text commands#215

Since Mimu has access to Message Intents, a privilege that not many bots get, it would be nice if the text commands were brought back. Let us use both slash and text commands. This way users can use the bot according to their own preference : slash or text whichever suits them better and it would make the user experience better + easier to use the bot.

as stated in the pins of #general, discord discourages this and if we did implement this, it would take 4+ weeks to even code, not to mention bug testing and the like.

Take the time, we don’t mind :)

i’m going to comment on this bec its been a while.
i don’t mind reimplementing it, but the issue is that a lot of the features we’re creating now are pretty reliant on it being a slash command.

problem 1:

• /shop add will inevitably have all settings in there, or at least that’s the plan. however, message commands are typically split by spaces or | or needs a splitter. how are we going to determine properly where the data comes through? there are so many options, like:
  stock, price, name (can have spaces), description (can have spaces, newlines, etc), replly (can have spaces, newlines etc), role, role reward, giftability, and maybe even more options in the future

how are we going to fit all that into a command?

problem 2:

• message commands will need us to listen to messages and cache messages unnecessarily, even if its chatter, to make sure that any further interactions on it will still work. mimu tries to minimize this caching to save memory.
• returning this will end up increasing memory usage.

problem 3:

• slash commands are just simpler to use atp.
