#
Configuration
#
1. Setup config.json
First, open your server, go to files, then navigate to .config/Red-DiscordBot and create a new config.json file with the following:
{
"pterodactyl": {
"DATA_PATH": "/home/container/.local/share/Red-DiscordBot/data/pterodactyl",
"COG_PATH_APPEND": "cogs",
"CORE_PATH_APPEND": "core",
"STORAGE_TYPE": "JSON",
"STORAGE_DETAILS": {}
}
}
#
2. Setup basic bot info
Token: Go to your server's startup tab. In variables there should be a DISCORD BOT TOKEN. In that field, remove all the text and paste your discord bot token.
Prefix: Go to your server's startup tab. In variables there should be a COMMAND PREFIX. In that field, remove everything and fill in your prefix.
For owner, you cannot just put your user ID in the owner variable. You instead need to add --owner to your prefix variable, then your user ID.
Example: . --owner 569352110991343616
. is my prefix, and --owner 569352110991343616 defines my user ID is the bot owner. Replace it with your ID and your command prefix. For extra developer commands, you can also add --dev after your user ID.
Example: . --owner 569352110991343616 --dev
