August 20, 20214 yr Monitor your game servers on Discord and tracks the live data of your game servers. You need an API Key for your settings.json Config. Spoiler Obtaining an API Key: Visit the official Discord Developers page here: https://discord.com/developers/applications/ -Click "New App". -Name your app and click create! Note: A description isn't required. -You will now be redirected to your created app, at the point you will need to click "Create a Bot User". -Under the newly created bot section, under "Username" you will see "Token". Reveal the token and copy it into your servers config. -Now it's time to add your new bot to your guild! To add your bot to your guild you must visit the following link, and replace "botUserID" with the client ID found at the top of your Discord app settings page:https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=botUserID&scope=bot&permissions=8 Note: "permissions=8" in the link will provide the bot with administrative permissions so you won't have to give it some. Note: DO NOT SHARE YOUR API KEY! Sharing your key may result in punishments from Discord (including a platform-wide ban) if the token is used to abuse the API. For commands and How-To's just look at the Guides on the official Page https://discordgsm.com/guide This is in case you still want to use DiscordGSM v.1.9.3.

September 3, 20214 yr I'm a bit lost here mate as the "Username" and "Token" isn't there. Do these translate to "Client ID" and "Client Secret" under the OAuth2 page?

February 13, 20224 yr Author 8 minutes ago, Natcoso9955 said: Hi, im having an issue with this retrieving my project zomboid server, i believe its due to the game running on a udp port not a tcp port. This is the only thing i can think would be the cause. Are you able to advise how i set the server config to connect via udp not tcp. Thanks. hey, you could try this, it should work: { "comment": "project zomboid", "type": "gamedigquery", "game": "przomboid", "address": "YOUR GAME SERVER IP HERE", "port": YOUR PORT HERE, (should be 16261 if i am not wrong) "channel": YOUR CHANNEL ID HERE, "locked": false } query info's are always using udp for what i am knowing. you need to make sure youre port is forwarded if you hosting it locally Edited February 13, 20224 yr by Cornflake

March 10, 20224 yr Hi, I am trying to install this but am having some issues getting it to work. I have never added a bot before so this could just be me not knowing how this all works. I have tried following these steps at the top of this page: On 8/20/2021 at 4:06 PM, Cornflake said: Obtaining an API Key: Visit the official Discord Developers page here: https://discord.com/developers/applications/ -Click "New App". -Name your app and click create!

I have created a new app and bot. The bot ID is copied in the env file on line 1: I then went to this link https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=botUserID&scope=bot&permissions=8 and replaced the botID but got this error message: I also don't understand what I need to fill in at line 3 called "DGSM_ROLEID=123".

Looks good for me. you can leave the role id as it is, i think you missed the part where it says: "Now it's time to add your new bot to your guild!

Unfortunately, I still manage to mess it up (I got a talent for that) At first I thought that it needed the Bot number (7190) shown here: I then tried the top of the settings page you mentioned. I think that you mean this page: I entered my own 4 digit ID number but that resulted in the same "Unknown application error" Could it be that I just have the wrong number and am looking at the wrong place?
March 10, 20224 yr Author Unfortunately, you were looking at the wrong place. you will find the application id of your bot at https://discord.com/developers/applications/

I have removed the middle part of the sensitive data. servers.json.env We managed to figure out how to access the bot. Turned out we needed to say "!servers". The problem with that is that only I can get the bot to give us an aswer and others keep getting the message that they do not have permission to do that.

Did you get that to work? Yea. I was able to get more output with other json configs. I was never able to get a server online status or player count. Im not sure if i misunderstand your first part but the bot posts the initial message then updates it as it polls for new informaiton.

I get the same problem as @Nubby Friends are able to reach the Terraria server and can game on it. The port is forwarded so it should be reachable. Here is the servers.json; I have no idea why it doesn't work. I also wonder how I would add a gameserver to this file that is not on gamediqquery? I have multiple Wreckfest servers but Wreckfest (and Satisfactory and Open RCT2) are not on Gamediqquery.

If gamedigquery doesn’t list your game it will basically not work you have to use one of the other Query types: sourcequery , ut3query or fake https://github.com/DiscordGSM/DiscordGSM/wiki/SourceQuery https://github.com/DiscordGSM/DiscordGSM/wiki/UT3Query i don’t know what query type Terria is using, but you could try if one of it works basically you don’t need gamedigquery at all, as an example I used sourcequery for all my GameServers a while ago and it worked the same. you just need to look what query port you game uses and what Protocol. And don’t forget to forward the UDP port. Edited March 17, 20224 yr by Cornflake
