Configuring Event Feeds

Creating the Events Channel

Now that the PvP and PvE feeds are ready to go we can go ahead and create our final channel in our discord for the feeds -
To create the channel please use the "+" symbol again in your channel list and name the channel whatever you would like it to be called, for the purpose of this documentation, we are going to call it #event-feed


Setting the Channel Permissions

Once the channel is set we need to apply some permissions to it, here are what we recommend, again, it is entirely your choice, but we like to try and keep the channel clean.

@everyone
View Channel discordon2.png
Add Reactions discordon2.png
Read Message History discordon2.png

Add your custom bot Role also and don't edit any permissions, the role permissions will override anything it needs.


Entering the Command

From here we can click save and head into the channel where we need to launch the following command; /feeds config event
Below is an image where you will see the options, lets go through them,

  • gameserver - Please select your GameServer from the drop down provided
  • in-game - Yes or No, would you like the Event feeds to print in-game
  • in-discord - Yes or No, would you like the Event feeds to print in-Discord (They will print in the channel that you launched the command, hopefully you've done it in the #event-feed channel.

Once you have selected your parameters, hit enter and you will be shown a success message to tell you that the page has been registered and will start to print triggering events in the coming moments. Please note: These will only print natural events, using the command call.heli will not print on screen or in-Discord.

Customizing the Feed

The feeds are fully customizable by using the command /feeds game add for in-game custom feeds or /feeds discord add for custom Discord feeds. Both methods are pretty similar in terms of setup. Below is the response you can expect when launching these commands;

You will need to select your GameServer which you wish to edit and then the "type".

The type holds quite an extensive list which exceeds the 25 limit on the drop down menu, so to find the Event options we need to type the word "Event" into the "type" box, we will then see the 4 options for Events, once we click one and send the command we will be greeted with the image shown below;

We dont need to use the "Placeholders" like we did on the PvP and PvE events, so the event is completely down to your imagination.
