First-Time Guild Setup

TM 26-02 Getting Started

First-Time Guild Setup

Three steps from zero to operational.


Step 1 — Add the Bot

Add Clusterfox to your Discord server:

Add Clusterfox to Discord

The bot registers your guild in the database automatically on join.


Step 2 — Run /init

In any channel, a server Administrator runs:

/init

The setup wizard opens as a paginated embed with navigation buttons. Work through each page to:

  • Map your Discord roles to TrenchQuarters permission tiers
  • Set your announcement channels (operations, logistics, verification, etc.)
  • Enable or disable features (Operations, Logistics, Training, Roster, Frontline Updates)

When you save the wizard, your guild is fully configured and ready to use.

TrenchQuarters Permission Tiers

Role Access
Command Full administrative access to all features
S3 - Operations Plan and manage operations
S4 - Logistics Manage logistics requests and stockpile inventory
S7 - Training Run training events and qualifications
S8 - Depots Full Supply & Stockpiles access — create, manage, and delete stockpiles
Grunts Standard member access — view the Operations Room map, view Logistics, and read the Field Manual

Each tier can be mapped to one or more of your Discord roles. A member gets the highest-tier TrenchQuarters role that any of their Discord roles maps to. S1 (Personnel), S2 (Intel), and S9 (Civil Affairs) are reserved for future features.


Step 3 — Configure on the Web

Log in at the web dashboard with your Discord account. From Admin you can configure everything the /init wizard covers, plus features that are only available on the web:

  • Admin → Verification — Build recruit application flows with custom questions, review submissions, and auto-assign roles on acceptance
  • Admin → Bot Messages — Create and manage persistent embeds and messages posted by the bot to any channel
  • Admin → Discord → Bot Features — Toggle features, configure the welcome message embed, and set notification preferences
  • Admin → Regiment — Set your regiment name, description, insignia, game team (Colonials/Wardens), and war shard

After Setup

Run /sync all to import your existing Discord members into the database:

/sync all

This creates records for every current server member. Background sync runs automatically every hour after that.
