Step 1: Setup Discord Bot

  1. Go to the Bot creation page.

  2. Enter the name of your bot in the "APP NAME" section

  3. (Optional) If you'd like, add an App Description and an App Icon (Avatar)

  4. Press the "Create App" button

Step 4

  1. Click "Create a Bot User"

Step 5

Step 2: Invite the Bot to your Server

  1. In the "APP DETAILS" section, look for "CLIENT ID"

Step 1

  1. Replace CLIENT_ID_HERE with your Client ID in the following link: https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=CLIENT_ID_HERE&scope=bot. For example, if your Client ID was 304822618350157836, then your link should be https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=304822618350157836&scope=bot

  2. Open the link you created in previous step in your browser. Select a server to join from the list. You must have server-management privileges on the server, or else it will not show up on the list. If you do not have server-management privileges, give the link to an admin of the server and ask them to add it. If you get "Unknown Error", please make sure you created a bot user (see step 5 in "Setup Discord Bot"). Press "Authorize" to continue

Step 3

  1. You or a server admin must give your Bot permissions to enter every voice channel (or at least every channel you have access to). A quick and easy way to do this is to ask the admin to assign the bot the same role(s) that you have on the server.

Step 3: Plugin Setup

  1. TO-DO

Step 4: Filling in the boxes

  1. In Discord, enable Developer Mode by going to User Settings -> Appearance -> Check "Developer Mode".

Step 1

  1. Using right panel that shows online users, right click your name and click "Copy ID" at the bottom.

Step 2

  1. Put this ID in the "Discord ID" section of the Plugin

Step 3

  1. Go to the Bot management page and select your Bot.

  2. Under "App Bot User" there should be a field for "Token". Click "click to reveal" and copy this Token.

Step 5

  1. Uncheck "Public Bot" to avoid abuse, and save your changes.

  2. Put the Token that you copied in the "Discord Bot Token" section of the Plugin. Do not share this token with others.

Step 7

Using the Bot

If all is setup correctly, all you have to do is press "Connect" in the plugin to make the bot go online. Enter a voice channel, then press "Join Channel" and the bot will join the same channel as you. The token and ID you entered will save when you close ACT so you do not have to enter that again.
