¶ Project Zomboid: How to Integrate a Discord Bot
¶ Step 1: Discord Configuration
To start, you will be required to have a Discord server where you have admin rights, together with a channel in which you would like the messages to be synced.
1. Go to the Discord Developer Portal and click ‘New Application’.
2. Give your bot a name of choice, and click ‘Create‘.
3. Navigate to the Bot category at the left.
4. Reset the bot token and save it somewhere safe - you will need it in the next steps. You can also set a profile picture of the bot.
5. Navigate towards the OAuth2 category and copy the link after checking the following settings.
6. Now browse to this link, select the server you would like the bot to join, and click Continue.
7. Go to the Discord channel you would like to use, and copy the link to this channel by right clicking it.
8. Copy the latest (18-digit) number after the latest / and write this down together with the Discord Bot token you got in step 4. This is the channel ID.
¶ Step 2 : Server Configuration
Now that you have the bot token and channel ID, you will need to configure your server to be able to access the bot.
- Access your Server Dashboard.
- Click on Advanced Server Settings.
- Set
DiscordEnable=to true to enable the integration. - Enter the previously saved Discord Bot token at
DiscordToken=and the saved Channel ID atDiscordChannelID=and save this file afterwards. TheDiscordChannel=setting needs to be left empty in order for the bot to work. - Press on Save Config and Restart to apply changes.
