Setting up your server

The bot is a Discord application you install once per server. There is no account to create and no dashboard to log into. Everything is configured from inside Discord.

1. Open the invite link from the landing page or the support guild. The default permission set covers every built-in feature; you can revoke individual permissions later if you want to scope the bot down.
2. Pick the server you want the bot in. You need Manage Server in that guild to invite. If you do not see the server in the picker, ask its owner to invite the bot for you.
3. Authorize. Discord posts a join message in your default channel.

The bot registers its slash commands per-guild on join. They show up in Discord's / menu within about a minute. If they take longer than that, restart the Discord client.

1. Type / in any channel the bot can see.
2. You should see groups like /info, /host, /ow, /util, plus standalone commands like /feedback.
3. Run /info ping. The bot replies with its latency. That confirms the gateway connection is healthy.

You can also say hi the natural-language way:

@GameServerBot are you alive?

The bot replies inline. From now on, anything you would do with a slash command, you can ask for in plain English by mentioning the bot first.

The bot is installed, slash commands work. Next stage: Engaging your members.
