You firstly have to create your RegPoints account.

We will ask you to create a new account, as the old database hasn’t been given to us.

This note only applies to users who had an account before the shutdown in 2023.

Note to: Users already using Regpoints

You do not need another account if you already have one, for exemple, if you are staff in another regiment already using Regpoints.

Step 3: Setting Up the Discord Bot

Now comes the exciting part — linking your regiment with the Discord bot for seamless integration!

3.1: Inviting the Bot to Your Server And Linking Your Regiment

Reminder - Required permissions

You must have Manage Server permissions to invite bots to your Discord server.

1. Log into your RegPoints dashboard

2. Go to Manage Regiment → Discord Tab

3. Scroll down, then click the Click to invite Bot button.

4. Then add the bot like you usually do with any other bot.

   

Note About Bot Permissions

The ‘Administrator’ permission is useful if you wish for a quick setup without worrying about missing permissions.

HOWEVER, you can remove the ‘Administrator’ permission if you don’t want the bot to have full access to your server. If you want more specific permissions, you can manually select the permissions the bot needs.

5. Near the button to invite the bot, Look for a Reglink code.
   Copy the command that looks like: /reglink [unique_code].

6. Go to your Discord server, and in any channel where the bot can read messages, paste and send the command.

7. The bot will confirm the successful link.

If the bot linking is successful, the dashboard will indicate ” Discord server has already been linked. ” and the bot will send ” Server successfully linked to [Regiment Name]! ”.

Security Warning

Never share your reglink code with anyone! This code gives full access to link servers to your regiment.

Common issues

Bot doesn’t respond: ⇾ You should check if the bot has the correct permissions. If you are sure you may also check if the bot is online!

Invalid code ⇾ Maybe you didn’t copy the right code. Make sure you have copied the entire code on the dashboard.

Already linked ⇾ Your regiment dashboard may be already linked to another discord server.

Step 4: Testing Your Setup

Let’s make sure everything is working correctly!

One quick way to see if the bot is linked is to run the /reginfo command. If the bot is correctly linked, the bot will display a message such as this one!

Step 5: Configuring Bot Permissions

After linking, you’ll want to set up admin roles, so your staff can use administrative bot commands.

Setting Up Admin Roles

Use these commands in your Discord server. Replace our examples with your own roles.

• /admin add @Staff - Adds the @Staff role to admin list
• /admin add @Officers - Adds the @Officers role to admin list
• /reginfo - Shows current server configuration and admin roles
