Slate Discord Bridge

Slate Discord Bridge

Beta. An early build of Slate: expect bugs, you can report them on the Discord.

Slate Discord Bridge is a Discord bot that joins your server’s chat to Discord channels, both ways. Players are posted under their own name and face; Discord messages show in the game with role colours, replies and pictures. Players need nothing installed.

Support me and get early access on my Patreon.

Both ways

• Chat, /me and /say go to Discord under each player’s name and face, and so do joins, deaths and advancements.
• Discord messages show as [Discord] Name: words in the member’s role colour, with replies and links to click.
• With Slate Chat, pictures and GIFs show as cards; without it, as a link to open.
• Team chat, whispers and muted players stay in the game.

Setting it up

• Make a bot on Discord’s developer page, switch on Message Content, and put its token and the channel id in config/slate/bridge.json.
• Hosting from your own game: paste the token in Slate Config.
• The token is never sent to players or written to the log.

When something is wrong

• /slatebridge status says whether it is connected and what is wrong with each channel.
• A dropped connection comes back by itself, waiting longer each time it fails.
• /slatebridge selftest checks the bridge against a fake Discord.
