## Creds Guide
|
|
|
|
This guide will show you how to create your own discord bot, invite it to your server, and copy it's credentials to your `creds.yml` in order to run your bot.
|
|
|
|
- Start by opening your creds.yml
|
|
- If you're on a windows installer version, click on the creds button next to your bot's RUN button.
|
|
- If you're on linux from source or windows from source version, open `elliebot/output/creds.yml`. Please use visual studio code, notepad++ or another code editor. Usage of notepad is discouraged.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Go to [the Discord developer application page][DiscordApp].
|
|
2. Log in with your Discord account.
|
|
3. Click **New Application**.
|
|
4. Fill out the `Name` field however you like.
|
|
5. Go to the **Bot** tab on the left sidebar.
|
|
6. Click on the `Add a Bot` button and confirm that you do want to add a bot to this app.
|
|
7. **Optional:** Add bot's avatar and description.
|
|
8. Copy your Token to `creds.yml` as shown above.
|
|
9. Scroll down to the **`Privileged Gateway Intents`** section
|
|
- **Enable the following:**
|
|
- **PRESENCE INTENT**
|
|
- **SERVER MEMBERS INTENT**
|
|
- **MESSAGE CONTENT INTENT**
|
|
|
|
These are required for a number of features to function properly, and all should be on.
|
|
|
|
##### Getting Owner ID:
|
|
|
|
- Go to your Discord server and attempt to mention yourself, but put a backslash at the start
|
|
*(to make it slightly easier, add the backslash after the mention has been typed)*.
|
|
- For example, the message `\@toastie_t0ast` will appear as `<@234542843732033537>` after you send the message.
|
|
- The message will appear as a mention if done correctly. Copy the numbers from it **`234542843732033537`** and replace the big number on the `OwnerIds` section with your user ID.
|
|
- Save the `creds.yml` file.
|
|
- If done correctly, you should now be the bot owner. You can add multiple owners by adding them below the first one. Indentation matters.
|
|
|
|
For a single owner, it should look like this:
|
|
|
|
```yml
|
|
OwnerIds:
|
|
- 105635576866156544
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For multiple owners, it should look like this:
|
|
|
|
```yml
|
|
OwnerIds:
|
|
- 105635123466156544
|
|
- 234542843732033537
|
|
- 341420590009417729
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Inviting your bot to your server
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- On the **General Information** tab, copy your `Application ID` from your [applications page][DiscordApp].
|
|
- Replace the `YOUR_CLIENT_ID_HERE` in this link:
|
|
`https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID_HERE&scope=bot&permissions=66186303` with your `Client ID`
|
|
- The link should now look something like this:
|
|
`https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=123123123123&scope=bot&permissions=66186303`
|
|
- Access that newly created link, pick your Discord server, click `Authorize` and confirm with the captcha at the end
|
|
- The bot should now be in your server
|
|
|
|
That's it! You may now go back to the installation guide you were following before 🎉
