Configurations
Customize FredBoat for your server
FredBoat supports a few options when it comes to customizing its behavior in your server. You must have admin permissions to change any of these settings.
The ;;lang command
Want to use FredBoat in your native language? Server admins can set the language of FredBoat in their server. Say, for instance, you want to change the language to French:
;;lang fr_FR
Run the ;;lang command with no arguments to get a full list of supported languages. All translations are crowdsourced and we could really use some help bringing FredBoat to the world!
The ;;config command
This command allows you to change a couple server specific settings for the bot. Running the ;;config command without args should show you something like this:
track_announce = false
auto_resume = false
If you want FredBoat to start announcing new tracks being played, you can enable that feature with:
;;config track_announce true
If you want to get the bot to unpause when someone joins the voice chat, you can change this setting:
;;config auto_resume true
The ;;prefix command
This command allows changing and viewing the prefix.
Running ;;prefix without any args should show you something like this(output may vary based on language and prefix):
The prefix for this guild is ;;
You can show the prefix anytime again by mentioning me.
If you want to set a prefix, you may do so by running:
;;prefix
If you wish for FredBoat to not necessitate a prefix for executing commands, you may do so by running:
;;prefix no_prefix
To reset the prefix to the default one, say:
OR
@FredBoat prefix reset
If you cannot remember or do not know the prefix for FredBoat in a server, just mentioning FredBoat will show you the prefix. Additionally, you can mention FredBoat and follow that with a command to execute that command.
The ;;modules command
FredBoat's main focus is delivering music to your server, but it also packs additional command modules .You can disable and enable those with the ;;modules command.
Show the current status of modules:
;;modules
Disable a command module, for example Fun:
;;modules disable Fun
Enabling/disabling automatic deletion of ;;play requests
If FredBoat has permission to 'Manage Messages' in the channel settings, it will automatically delete any valid ;;play requests. If you prefer to keep the messages, you can just disable this bot's 'Manage Messages' permission.
Limiting access to text and voice channels
To restrict FredBoat from receiving commands from a certain text channel, simply revoke the bot's permission to "Send Messages" in that channel. FredBoat will only accept commands from a channel it can write to. Likewise, if you do not want FredBoat to join certain voice channels, take away its permission to "Connect."
