Discord Basics
What is Discord? It's a free voice and text chat app that works via mobile app, desktop app, or web browser. It is also the only place to use Charlemagne to her fullest potential. She is, after all, the Warmind of Discord.
Discord's support website is an invaluable resource as you first begin to navigate the digital seas. If you have no idea how to get started with Discord you can begin with their getting started guide or continue reading below. If you are already well versed in Discord, skip ahead to Adding the Warmind.
Before we get too far, let's understand the difference between a Discord server (aka guild) and a chat or direct message (DM). Discord does allow for private, direct messages between friends. You can even create a group chat for up to 10 friends! Direct messages, however, are very limited in their functionality. This is where a Discord server comes into play.
A Discord server can have an unlimited number of members and they don't all have to be friends to participate (but don't worry, you have full control over who joins your server). A server can be configured with roles, channels, and permissions (more about that below) to restrict certain conversations to a select group of people while allowing all members to participate in other conversations.
How to create or join a server
You can create your own Discord server with just a few simple clicks. Discord's support team has the process detailed right here.
Alternatively you can join an existing server. To do this you just need to follow an invite link or click the green plus sign in the server list within your Discord client, select "join a server," and enter the invite code. If the invite link was https://discord.gg/123AbC then the invite code would just be 123AbC. Be careful, invite links and invite codes are case sensitive. Let's practice! You can join Charlemagne's support server via this link.
Roles, channels, and permissions
Conversations in a Discord server take place in text and voice channels, which can be grouped into categories. You can limit access to these by editing the channel or category to assign permissions. To ease permission assignment, you can create a Role with a base set of permissions. As you add/remove users from a role, their ability to access channels will update to match what you have assigned. Roles can also define the color of a user's name, as well as how they are grouped in the member list. While their effective permissions will be a combination of all roles assigned, their visual color will reflect role that is highest on your server's list of roles. A single Discord server cannot have more than 250 roles or 500 channels (including voice channels, text channels, and channel categories).
Discord's Role Management 101 support article is a good place to start if you are unfamiliar with how roles work. Once you have roles setup you can setup role-exclusive channels, setup an announcements channel, and setup permissions. Make sure you understand how the permission hierarchy works.
Main server vs. test server
The best way to learn about Discord is to try things and see what happens. As your server gains more members, more channels, more roles, and more complexity; it is usually a good idea to create a test server where you can try things without the risk of breaking something for all of your members or spamming their notifications unintentionally.
Non-Human Entities and Discord
Another great feature of Discord is the ability to incorporate non-human entities into your server. There are many Discord bots but Charlemagne is no mere bot; she is the Warmind of Discord.
Adding the Warmind
Go to https://warmind.io/add_me and chose the correct server.
Note: in order to add Charlemagne to your server, your Discord role must have the "Administrator" permission within that server. This is also true for any of Charlemagne's server or channel commands.
Initial setup and configuration
To ensure that Charlemagne can function fully on your server, please ensure all of the following permissions are granted to her server role:
Additional setup and configuration tips as well as troubleshooting can be found at Charlemagne's support server in the FAQ and Support channels:
Registration
The registration process will link your Bungie account(s) with your Discord account. This is a one time process (per Bungie account), and will apply across all Discord servers you may join.
In any server channel where Charlemagne is active, enter!register
You will receive a direct message from Charlemagne.
At the top of the direct message, click on the blue letters that read "Click Here to Register"
After you click on the link, follow these steps to give Charlemagne permission to access your account/s:
Select yep to follow the link
Select your platform (if you have multiple, just pick one)
Log into that account
You will then receive a message that you have successfully registered.
Note: She will link to all active Bungie accounts at one time.
Additional registration support can be found at Charlemagne's support server, specifically in the #registration or #ask-help-here channels
Commands
Charlemagne's instruction set is vast and ever growing. The full list of available commands is here.
There is a wide range of commands available to Discord server Admins.NOTE: You must have "Administrator" permissions enabled in one of your Discord roles.
Channel ConfigurationThere are a few different options for customizing the way Charlemagne responds in channels.
To enable/disable ALL of Charlemagne's responses in a given channel,
If you'd like to enable/disable SPECIFIC responses in multiple channels, please enter the following commands within the preferred channel to turn responses on or off WITHIN THAT GIVEN CHANNEL:
!channel destiny - enables or disables Xgerhard's included Destiny commands
!channel lfg - enables or disables LFG/event functionality
!channel loadout - enables or disables loadout commands
!channel mute - enables or disables any general discussion
!channel stats - enables or disables stats
!channel vendors - enables or disables vendor commands
Note: !channel all is separate from the individual options and does not overwrite them. For example, if you turn off LFG (with !channel lfg) AND turn off ALL command responses (with !channel all), you must re-enable both separately to turn them back on.
Also, please remember that if you have Charlemagne's GAME feature turned on, she can only keep track of chat in channels where she has the "read messages" permission. See #clan-and-discord-activity for more information on the GAME feature
Charlemagne CustomizationThough we are quite proud of her name, as she is the Warmind of Discord after all, if you have the proper server permissions, right click on Charlemagne's profile and select change nickname. Feel free to enter whichever name you prefer.
Additionally you may change her prefix to any character you chose by typing:!server prefix For example: !server prefix ?
If you ever get in a situation where you have changed the prefix and Charlemange does not respond, you can go to https://warmind.io/s, select your server name, and use the admin link at the top of the page to verify and/or change your server's prefix.

AutonickYou can automagically assign and enforce Discord nicknames to match guardians’ Destiny profile names by typing:!server autonick
Notes:
Charlemagne must have the manage nicknames permission enabled on your Server Settings Role page,
Autonick will only apply to guardians who are registered with Charlemagne
Autonick will only work if Charlemagne's role is higher than the guardian's role on the Server Settings Role page.
Warmind AutoNickName enforces nicknames when:
A registered guardian joins the server
A guardian first registers with Charlemagne
A guardian manually updates their nickname
When a guardian updates their !user default (she uses your default profile as your nickname)
To ignore a phrase or word inside AutoNickName use:!server autonick ignoreNote: all words and phrases are case sensitive
To bypass roles with AutoNickName, use:!server autonick bypass
AutorolesCharlemagne can automagically assign Discord roles based on various in-game stats or system statuses. Warmind Destiny Autoroles and Warmind System Autoroles explain this functionality in great detail.
Platform FilterWARNING: Platform filter is a very powerful setting that can result in unintended actions if not fully understood. Proceed at your own risk.
To set your server platform to PC, PlayStation or Xbox, type:!server platformand choose the corresponding reaction button at the bottom of the response.
What this does:
When members run any stat command, Charlemagne will try to display the chosen platform first on your server regardless of user default settings (Use the arrows below her responses to view any other synced profiles),
sets all server rankings and leaderboards to show stats for the chosen platform only
auto-assigns all LFG / Events to the chosen platform
!server autorole will only check the requirements for the selected platform
!server autonick will apply the selected platform to nicknames regardless of guardian's default profile preference
!server register autorole will only assign the "registered" role to guardians with matching the selected platform
Charlemagne's LFG/event functionality is one of her most popular features. This functionality is explained in great detail in this Scheduling Events with Charlemagne article, this Managing Scheduled Events article, and also within the #scheduled-activities channel in Charlemagne's support server.
The full list of available commands is here. Some basics to get you started:
!help
!last raid
!loadout
!nightfall or !nf
!pve
!pvp
!rank maxpower
!sotp
!gos
!cos
!spider
!weekly
!daily
There are a number of !destiny subcommands available for Destiny 1 and Destiny 2.
Note: These stats do not contribute to Charlemagne's ranking. This command is maintained solely by Xgerhard.
