Before you start

You need:

  • Permission to manage your Discord server or invite bots.
  • Access to your Roocops guild settings.
  • One Discord channel for War Room messages.
  • Optional separate channels for check-ins, outputs, notices, and reports.

Add Roocops to your Discord server

  1. Click the invite or install button.
  2. Choose your Discord server.
  3. Approve the requested permissions.
  4. Return to Roocops Settings.

Permissions in plain language

Roocops needs permission to view channels, send messages, embed links, attach files, read message history, use slash commands.

You do not need to give the bot Administrator permission.

Add Roocops Bot to Discord

Turn on Discord Developer Mode

  1. Open Discord.
  2. Click User Settings.
  3. Go to Advanced.
  4. Turn on Developer Mode.

Copy your Discord Server ID

  1. Right-click your Discord server icon.
  2. Click Copy Server ID.
  3. Paste it into Roocops Settings under Discord Server ID.

Copy your channel IDs

Roocops needs a War Room Channel ID. The other channel IDs are optional.

War Room Channel

Required

The default channel Roocops uses if no specific channel is set.

Check-in Channel

Optional

Where member check-in buttons are posted.

Output Channel

Optional

Where board and bidder images are posted.

Bidding Notice Channel

Optional

Where Roocops mentions assigned bidders.

Report Channel

Optional

Where the Final Report is posted.

Important

You do not need to fill every optional channel. If you leave one blank, Roocops will use the War Room Channel.

Save settings and send a test message

  1. Open Roocops Dashboard.
  2. Go to Settings.
  3. Paste your Discord Server ID.
  4. Paste your War Room Channel ID.
  5. Optionally paste the other channel IDs.
  6. Click Send Test Message.
  7. Check Discord to make sure the bot posted correctly.

Use /warroom

After setup, use /warroom in Discord.

Officers use /warroom to:

  • set up the session
  • post check-in
  • view status counts
  • generate boards
  • post Final Report
  • open Output Center
  • notify assigned bidders
  • finalize the session
  • add guild members from Discord

Members use /warroom to:

  • check their response
  • update their response
  • link their Discord account

Current command reference

These are the visible global commands. Start with /warroom when you are not sure what to use.

Members

/warroom - Open your Roocops panel.

/set - Set your War Room response.

/my-status - Check your current response.

/link-request - Ask officers to link your Discord account.

/help - Show help.

Officers

/warroom - Main War Room command center.

/checkin - Post the active check-in message.

/report - Post the Final Report.

General

/roocops - Open Roocops links.

/guest - Open Guest Generator link.

/feedback - Send feedback or find support.

Linking members safely

Members should run /link-request using their exact Roocops roster name.

Officers approve link requests from Roocops Roster or from /warroom -> Roster Tools -> Link Requests.

Roocops does not automatically link someone just because they typed a name. This helps prevent one member from claiming another member's roster identity.

Officers can also add a guild member from Discord through /warroom - Roster Tools - Add Guild Member.

Troubleshooting

Bot did not post test message

Check that the bot can view the channel and send messages.

Slash commands do not show

Make sure the bot was invited with applications.commands permission. It can take a short time for Discord to refresh global commands.

/warroom says server is not connected

Paste your Discord Server ID into Roocops Settings and save.

Images do not post

Make sure the bot has permission to send messages, embed links, and attach files in the Output Channel.

Bidding notice does not ping users

Make sure roster members are linked to Discord accounts.

Setup path

Follow the simple path: invite the bot, copy IDs, save settings, send a test message, then use /warroom.
