Save setting for multiple bots

[candre23]

Currently, botsettings.json is hardcoded as the only place settings may be saved and it's not possible to save separate settings for multiple bots. I'm sure I could get gemini to just do this one way or another, but I figured maybe you'd have a preference for how it gets done. The way I see it, the options are:

• Specify a 3rd external file when starting the bot from which to save/load settings
• Move the settings from botsettings.json to either the .env or character.json file specified when the bot is started
• Keep botsettings.json, but add the capability to store settings for multiple bots (determined by bot token?) within this file
• Combine settings and info from .env, char.json, and botsettings.json into one master settings file per bot

My first preference is for the "combine everything" option. Fewer files to keep track or and edit is better IMO. My second choice would be moving to saved settings into the .env file for the bot. Thoughts?

yeah, we can add an optional arg --settings to load a specific setting file that will override the default botsettings.json. easiest option.

I have got this "working", but not well. With what gemini gave me, it will load a settings file that you specify as an arg, but you HAVE to specify a file, and that file has to exist and already contain save data. If those conditions are not met, the bot won't work. There is no indication of why or how in the terminal output, but the bot won't respond to any command and can't be whitelisted.

Obviously this is all sorts of wrong. I can submit what I have as a PR, but it would probably be better if you just did it properly from scratch instead of trying to correct gemini's slop code.

i'll just add it, it's like 1 or 2 lines.
gemini likes to overthink things, sometimes it leads to poor quality solutions

Alright, try pull latest. its added

It is loading the custom settings, but not loading character info now. I don't think this is new to this particular update, but left over from your fixing of my previous update.

Error: character details invalid or not found. Using default values.

My guess is that it doesn't like how I have the character data formatted. Can you provide a properly-formatted sample?

That's working. Thanks.
