Setting up your Credentials

If you do not see credentials.json you will need to rename credentials_example.json to credentials.json.

This is how the credentials.json looks with all the APIs:

{
  "ClientId": 179372110000358912,
  "BotId": 179372110000358912,
  "Token": "MTc5MzcyXXX2MDI1ODY3MjY0.ChKs4g.I8J_R9XX0t-QY-0PzXXXiN0-7vo",
  "OwnerIds": [
    105635123466156544,
	105635123566156544,
	105635123666156544
  ],
  "LoLApiKey": "6e99ecf36f0000095b0a3ccfe35df45f",
  "GoogleApiKey": "AIzaSyDSci1sdlWQOWNVj1vlXxxxxxbk0oWMEzM",
  "MashapeKey": "4UrKpcWXc2mshS8RKi00000y8Kf5p1Q8kI6jsn32bmd8oVWiY7",
  "OsuApiKey": "4c8c8fdff8e1234581725db27fd140a7d93320d6",
  "PatreonAccessToken": "",
  "PatreonCampaignId": "334038",
  "Db": null,
  "TotalShards": 1,
  "ShardRunCommand": "",
  "ShardRunArguments": "",
  "ShardRunPort": null
}

Creating Discord Bot application

img2

  • Go to the Discord developer application page.
  • Log in with your Discord account.
  • On the left side, press New Application.
  • Fill out the App Name (Your bot's name, in this case)
  • Put the image if you want, and add an app description. (Optional)
  • Create the application.
  • Click on Create a Bot User and confirm that you do want to add a bot to this app.
  • Keep this window open for now.

Inviting your bot to your server

img4

  • Invite Guide
  • Copy your Client ID from your applications page.
  • Replace the 12345678 in this link: https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=12345678&scope=bot&permissions=66186303 with your Client ID.
  • The link should now look like this: https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=YOUR_CLENT_ID_HERE&scope=bot&permissions=66186303
  • Go to the newly created link and pick the server we created, and click Authorize.
  • The bot should have been added to your server.

Setting up credentials.json file

For Windows you can find credentials.json file in NadekoBot\system folder. e.g. C:\Program Files\NadekoBot\system For Linux you can find credentials.json in NadekoBot/src/NadekoBot folder. e.g. /root/NadekoBot/src/NadekoBot

Getting Bot's Token:
  • In your Discord applications page, under the APP BOT USER section, you will see Token:click to reveal, click to reveal the token. Note: Make sure that you actually use a Token and not a Client Secret! It is in the App Bot User section.
  • Copy your bot's token, and on the "Token" line of your credentials.json, paste your bot token between the quotation marks.
It should look like:

"Token": "MTc5MzcyXXX2MDI1ODY3MjY0.ChKs4g.I8J_R9XX0t-QY-0PzXXXiN0-7vo",
Getting Client and Bot ID:
  • Copy the Client ID on the page and replace the 12312123 part of the "ClientId" line with it.
    • Important: Bot ID and Client ID will be the same in newer bot accounts due to recent changes by Discord.
    • If that's the case, copy the same client ID to "BotId"
It should look like:

"ClientId": 179372110000358912,
"BotId": 179372110000358912,
Getting Owner ID*(s)*:
  • Go to your Discord server and attempt to mention yourself, but put a backslash at the start like shown below: (to make it slightly easier, add the backslash after you type the mention out)
  • So the message \@fearnlj01#3535 will appear as <@145521851676884992> after you send the message.
  • The message will appear as a mention if done correctly, copy the numbers from the message 145521851676884992 and replace the ID (By default, the ID is 105635576866156544) on the OwnerIds section with your user ID shown earlier.
  • Save credentials.json
  • If done correctly, you are now the bot owner. You can add multiple owners by seperating each owner ID with a comma within the square brackets.
For single owner it should look like:

	"OwnerIds": [
		105635576866156544
	],

For multiple owners it should look like:

	"OwnerIds": [
		105635123466156544,
		105635123566156544,
		105635123666156544
	],

DB files

Nadeko saves all the settings and infomations in NadekoBot.db file here: NadekoBot/src/NadekoBot/bin/Release/netcoreapp1.1/data/NadekoBot.db (macOS and Linux) NadekoBot\system\data (Windows)

in order to open the database file you will need DB Browser for SQLite.

NOTE: You don't have to worry if you don't have NadekoBot.db file, it gets auto created once you run the bot successfully.

To make changes:

  • Copy the NadekoBot.db to someplace safe. (Back up)
  • Open NadekoBot.db
  • go to Browse Data tab
  • click on Table drop-down list
  • choose the table you want to edit
  • click on the cell you want to edit
  • edit it on the right-hand side
  • click on Apply
  • click on Write Changes

and that will save all the changes.

Sharding your bot

  • ShardRunCommand
    • Command with which to run shards 1+
    • Required if you're sharding your bot on windows using .exe, or in a custom way.
    • This internally defaults to dotnet
    • For example, if you want to shard your NadekoBot which you installed using windows installer, you would want to set it to something like this: C:\Program Files\NadekoBot\system\NadekoBot.exe
  • ShardRunArguments
    • Arguments to the shard run command
    • Required if you're sharding your bot on windows using .exe, or in a custom way.
    • This internally defaults to run -c Release -- {0} {1} {2} which will be enough to run linux and other 'from source' setups
    • {0} will be replaced by the shard ID of the shard being ran, {1} by the shard 0's process id, and {2} by the port shard communication is happening on
    • If shard0 (main window) is closed, all other shards will close too
    • For example, if you want to shard your NadekoBot which you installed using windows installer, you would want to set it to {0} {1} {2}
  • ShardRunPort
    • Bot uses a random UDP port in [5000, 6000) range for communication between shards
