Frequently Asked Questions
Question 1: How do I get SCBot to join my server?
Answer: Simply send SCBot a Direct Message with .h and follow the link. Only People with the Manage Server permission can add the bot to the server
Question 2: I want to change permissions, but it isn't working!
Answer: You must have the .permrole (by default this is the SCBot role, for more details on permissions check here. If you have a role called SCBot but can't assign it it's probably the Bot Role so, just create a New Role called SCBot and assign that to yourself instead.)
Question 3: I want to disable NSFW on my server.
Answer: To disable the NSFW Module for your server type, .sm NSFW disable. If this does not work refer to Question 2.
Question 4: How do I get scbotFlowers/Currency?
Answer: You can get scbotFlowers by picking them up after they have been generated with .gc, which you can then either plant (give away to a channel so that someone can pick it), or gamble with for potentinal profit with .betflip, .betroll and .jr
Question 5: I have an issue/bug/suggestion, where do I put it so it gets noticed?
Answer: First, check issues, then check the #suggestions channel in the SCBot help server.
If your problem or suggestion is not there, feel free to request/notify us about it either in the Issues section of GitHub for issues or in the #suggestions channel on the SCBot help server for suggestions.
Question 6: How do I use this command?
Answer: You can see the description and usage of certain commands by using .h command i.e .h .sm.
The whole list of commands can be found here
Question 7: Music isn't working?
Answer: Music is disabled on public SCBot due to large hosting costs, it will be re-enabled later in the future for donators.
If you would like music in the meantime, you must host SCBot yourself. Be sure you have FFMPEG installed correctly, and have followed the guide carefully.
Question 8: My music is still not working/very laggy?
Answer: Try changing your discord location, if this doesn't work be sure you have enabled the correct permissions for SCBot and rebooted since installing FFMPEG.
Question 9: I want to change data in the database like scbotFlowers or something else but how?
Answer: Follow the DB Guide, Open /data/NadekoBot.db using sqlitebrowser (or some alternative), Browse Data, select relevant table, change data, Write changes and done.
Question 10: The .greet and .bye commands doesn't work, but everything else is!
Answer: Set a greeting message by using .greetmsg YourMessageHere and a bye-message by using .byemsg YourMessageHere. Don't forget that .greet and .bye only apply to users joining a server, not coming online/offline.
Question 11: I made an application, but I can't add that new bot to my server, how do I invite it to my server?
Answer: You need to use oauth link to add it to you server, just copy your CLIENT ID (that's in the same Developer page where you brought your token) and replace 12345678 in the link below: https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=12345678&scope=bot&permissions=66186303
Follow this Detailed Guide.
Question 12: I'm building NadekoBot from source, but I get hundreds of (namespace) errors without changing anything!?
Answer: Using Visual Studio, you can solve these errors by going to Tools -> NuGet Package Manager -> Manage NuGet Packages for Solution. Go to the Installed tab, select the Packages that were missing (usually Newtonsoft.json and RestSharp) and install them for all projects
Question 13: My bot has all permissions but it's still saying, "Failed to add roles. Bot has insufficient permissions". How do I fix this?
Answer: Discord has added few new features and the roles now follows the role hierarchy which means you need to place your bot's role above every-other role your server has to fix the role hierarchy issue. Here's a link to Discords role management 101.
Please Note: The bot can only set/add all roles below its own highest role. It can not assign it's "highest role" to anyone else.
Question 14: I've broken permissions and am stuck, can I reset permissions?
Answer: Yes, there is a way, in one easy command! Just run .resetperms and all the permissions you've set through Permissions Module will reset.
