Meta: Tutorial for modding with Discord
« on: February 05, 2022, 09:48:29 am »

So, how does modding with discord work, now that QT is gone? It's a little more complicated but also more flexible. First, you'll need a current link to the f.ds QTs discord server, and then you'll need the server owner to give you the mod role. After that, you should have the power to do everything you need.

   

First, in the menu on the left, click on the kebab menu. That should give you the option to create a category.



It doesn't particularly matter if this is a private category or not. If you make it private, you want to make sure the mod role has access to it.



Now the category will show up on the left. Click on the plus sign next to it to create a channel.



You'll definitely want this to be a private channel, but you'll want to give the mod role access to it or you'll lose it forever. You can name it whatever you want.



After you've created the channel, you'll want to set the permissions. You can do this with a long tap on the channel on mobile or a right click on desktop and clicking edit channel.



Click on permissions. This is another part where you can lose the channel if you're careless like me. You don't want all mods to have access to the channel, but you want to have access yourself. First, you click on add a member and add yourself.



Give yourself the permission to view the channel, manage the channel, and send messages. Don't worry about anything having to do with threads; we won't be using those.



Now that you see yourself on the list,



you can remove permissions for other mods, in case mods in other games are playing in your game. Click the slash icon in the middle to set permissions to default.



You also want to make sure that the permissions for @everyone don't allow them to edit the channel.



Now, you can see on the menu on the right side of the channel who has access to the channel.



At this point, it should just be you and the server owner, who sees all. If there are more people, you've done something wrong.

Let's add some more people.



Here, I'm adding ashersky, giving him permission to see the channel and send messages, but not manage the channel.



Now the list shows everyone I've added, plus me and the server owner. As you can see, I've created the Mason QT for gkrieg and Ashersky.

You can repeat this process for however many channels you want to make, giving permissions to the appropriate people. It seems like a lot but once you do a few it should become easier.

Now let's get fancy! Say night has turned to day and you want to lock the channel. You can either trust your players not to post in the channel, or you can remove their permissions.



Now, Ash will be able to see the channel and read what his partners posted, but won't be able to post. You can do this every night for all the players in the channel if you want the extra work.



To post in bold, surround the text with two asterisks on either side.

That should be it! Let me know if there's anything you want me to add or anything I've missed.

Haven't reach the whole thing yet, bit if you give the mod role permission to see something, everyone who has modded a game will be able to see it. You want to create private channels and add yourself and the desired people manually, not by roles.

Yeah, I covered this. You don't seem to be able to add members while creating the channel; you have to create it first and then add the members and remove the roles.
