@Turrican2006

The bot does n t Work always for me too but I ve permission to Post hunts a Bit Strange IT IS .

I just literally set things up over the past few days and was able to get it working following these steps:

@Xaviien

• You must have a role with Administrator permissions to use the “!config hunt ” command. Owner does not count.
• You must assign the bot to the bot role you create in step 2 of @Okkelinor’s instructions. (I was tired, but I got it working without @Simoyd’s help this time!)

@Okkelinor

• Invite bot to your server by link .
• Make a hunt’s channel on your server where bot will post messages.
  Make a role for hunters. Be sure they can see the channel.
  Make a role for bot with rights to change roles and post to the channel. Be sure this role is above previous hunter’s role to rule it.
• Write “ !listroles ” at any channel on your server. Bot will send a private message to you.
  Copy an id of hunter’s role from PM.
• Write at the hunt’s channel “ !config hunt <id_of_your_hunter’s_role> ”.
  If you did all right, bot will answer: “Hunt notifications will ping <hunter’s_role> in channel <hunt’s_channel> on this server.”

@Simoyd

if the bot does not have a separate role with “manage roles” permission that is above your Hunter role, then it can’t assign your Hunter role to other people when they do the !hunter command.

So I:

1. created a channel for notifications
2. created roles based on above notes - a) boundless-hunter with perms to see notification channel, b) boundless-bot with manage roles perm and ability to see channel.
3. created additional “administrator” role and gave it admin perms (at bottom of list) and assigned to myself.
4. put the administrator role at the top of my roles list AND put the bot role above the boundless-hunter role
5. followed the rest of the instructions to get bot in channel, !listroles, and selected the right hunter role ID and ran the config command.

Yea my hunts aren’t going up either. I wish they would because we get less people at the hunt when the announcement bot doesn’t take the hunt info and post it. Would really like to know what is going on with it @Simoyd any ideas?

FYI I figured this out @Xaldafax

You have to do the following. If !hunt is on it’s own line it won’t work

!hunt Hunt Leader: DragonTamer
Time: In 3 Hours 30 Minutes
Planet: Valhalla
Best Weapon: Diamond
Protection Required: 1 Caustic

Meet up: Twisted Dragon Hunt lodge accessible via portal at TNT Mega Hub in the sov section, Fantasy Tree next to TNT Mega Hub portal, Gyosha Mall in their sov section and DK Mall.

Sometimes i see the hunts appear on some discords but not others, the only thing i can think is the bot is getting rate limited or its overloaded…

It would probably help if everyone remove read permissions for channels the bot doesnt need to speak in, which would help cut down on the amount of events that hit it.

[DragonTamer]

Yea that for sure, but my issue was I was putting “!hunt” on it’s own line and the bot wasn’t responding but after doing what I posted above see below it worked.

I always did this in pms to the bot and not channel it announces in so im not sure if that has anything to do with it.

[DragonTamer]

It was the same result for me either way, the clincher was making sure there was text after !hunt before going to the next line.

FYI - this bot is offline now – use the new hunting bot for Boundless – Boundless Bot - Hunts and more!
