Discord

Setting up Discord is not that hard of a job!

As with most of these platforms, you need to modify credentials.xml

However, before doing anything, just change this property to "Discord"

<ActivePlatforms>Discord</ActivePlatforms>

ActivePlatforms supports multiple platforms (following by a comma symbol)

There are 4 required properties specified for Discord!

    <Discord.ChannelID>0101010101010101</Discord.ChannelID>

    <Discord.Whitelist>0001,0002, 0003</Discord.Whitelist>

<Discord.AllowPinging>True</Discord.AllowPinging>

<Discord.BotToken>Some-DiSC0Rd-b0t-T0kEN</Discord.BotToken>

Enabling developer mode in Discord

Discord.ChannelID - The channel ID where the Discord bot will send messages!

Discord.Whitelist - Specify IDs of users that are allowed to vote (following by a comma), putting yourself in there would be silly ngl,

can also accept everyone as a value!

Discord.AllowPinging - Defines if the bot will ping necessary users

Discord.BotToken - Hell yeah, let's setup a discord bot!

1. Go to Discord Developer Portal

2. Click on "New Application" button and give it a name

3. Go to Bot ➜  Privileged Gateway Intents ➜ Enable all "INTENT" and save

4. On the same page find "Token" and click on "Reset Token" to get it, that's your Discord.BotToken

5. Go to OAuth2 ➜ OAuth2 URL Generator. Select "bot" scope and then just select an "Administrator" permission.

The bot is capable of sending and deleting messages, provides a dropdown component and reads it too,

so if you're unsure about the admin permission, choose the appropriate permissions only

6. Copy a "Generated URL" and use it to invite a bot to a burner Discord server or something. Also right click one of the server's channels and copy it's ID, that your Discord.ChannelID

7. Invite your bros to the discord server and add their user IDs to Discord.Whitelist (following by the ',' symbol)

If you can't find any of these properties in credentials.xml, just add them manually!
