Initial Setup

Just invited Dicebot? It starts out silent on purpose - nothing rolls until you tell it where to roll. Here's the checklist.

The checklist

1. Invite the bot and make sure it can see and send messages in the channels you care about. It also needs to add reactions (for the ‼ reroll) and attach files (for character sheets).
2. Pick your dice channel(s). In each one, someone with the Manage Server permission runs:

   !setchannel active on

   This is the master switch - dice, choose, coin, and the character generator all stay off in channels you haven't activated. Chat channels stay roll-free, dice channels roll.
3. Test it: type !2d6 in the activated channel. You should get a result back immediately.
4. Optional - make it yours. All of these are covered on the Commands page:
   • !setprefix ; - use a different command prefix (one character, per server)
   • !setDiceMode prefix - let a bare 2d6 roll without the prefix; see dice modes for all four options
   • !setchannel shortoutput on - compact one-line results
   • !setchannel bang on / !setchannel sorted on - make every roll in the channel explode / come back sorted

Bot not responding?

Run down this list - it's nearly always one of these:

• The channel isn't activated. Check with !channelinfo (anyone can run it) - if Active says False, that's the problem.
• You typed 2d6 without the prefix. The default dice mode only reads messages starting with !.
• You typed 2D6 - the d must be lowercase.
• Someone changed the prefix. Server settings are per-server, so ask whoever manages the bot, or try !channelinfo with the prefix you think is right.
• The bot can't see or send in that channel - check its Discord permissions.
