Welcome to RegPoints! This guide will walk you through registering your regiment and setting up the Discord bot integration step by step.

As an example, pictures will represent a fictional regiment being built. WIP - Work In Progress, a construction themed regiscout.

Before you start:

• RegPoints is currently in an invite-only system.
• You need an invitation from PRS staff to create a new regiment.
• You must be the owner or administrator of the Discord server you want to link.

Step 1: Getting an Invitation

To register your regiment, you’ll first need to receive an invitation from Ponytown Regiment Services (PRS) staff.
Note: You do not need an actual invitation to create an account on this site, but it will be required to register your regiment.

1.1: How to Request an Invitation

1. Join the PRS Discord server.
2. Open a Support Ticket.
3. Provide information about your regiment. (Regi name, theme, etc…)
4. Wait for approval and receive your Regpoints Starter Kit.

Step 2: Creating Your Account

Once you have your invitation link, you can create your RegPoints account.

Note to: Old Regpoints users

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.

Create an account:

1. Open your invitation link or create a new account.

2. Fill out the registration form with:

• Email address
• Strong password
• Name or username

3. Submit the form and check your email.
4. Click the verification link to activate your account.

WhatIsMyRealName is using a very strong password. You better do it too, and not only on Regpoints!

Tip

Quick tips from cybersecurity student:

Step 4: Setting Up the Discord Bot

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

4.1: Inviting the Bot to Your Server

1. Log into your RegPoints dashboard
2. Go to Manage Regiment → Discord Tab
3. Click the Click to invite Bot button
4. You’ll be redirected to Discord’s authorization page
5. Select your server from the dropdown
6. Review the requested permissions
   (note: Administration perms aren’t necessary. Feel free to remove them if you feel uncomfortable with the bot having them)
7. Click Authorize.

Omg, why is this French…

Reminder - Required permissions

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

4.2: Linking Your Regiment

1. In the Discord tab of Manage Regiment, find the “Command to link regiment with server” section
2. Copy the command that looks like: /reglink [unique_code]
3. Go to your Discord server
4. In any channel where the bot can read messages, paste and send the command
5. 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 5: 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 6: 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
