Welcome to our Discord server! This guide will help you understand how to get started, manage roles, and participate in scouting and running trains.

---

• Joining the Server
  After joining, wait for a staff member to assign you either the Light or Chaos role.

• Choosing Additional Roles
  Once you have your initial role, head over to the roles channel to pick additional roles like scouter, conductor, and choose a color!

---

1. Check Scheduling
   Before starting, ensure you have checked the scheduling.

2. Access Locations
   Click one of the available location links.

3. Copy or Export Routes
   Use the "Copy Routes" or "Export" button (depending on the site) to access the marks.

4. Use Coordinates
   Echo the coordinates in-game or refer to the Plugins/Macros documentation for easier methods.

5. Cleanup
   Once done, delete the message corresponding to the server(s) you shouted.

1. Track Mobs
   Use a tracker to record mob locations. A popular option is Bear Toolkit.

2. Post Details
   Include the link, expansion, world, and FFA status (if applicable).
   Example:
   ``Bear :7x: Raiden 12/12 FFA``

3. Remove Embeds
   Clean up your messages by removing any embeds after posting.

4. Despawn Management
   Delete your message if a server despawns.

• 7: Dawntrail (Default if no expansion is specified)
• 6: Endwalker
• 5: Shadowbringers
• 4: Stormblood
• 3: Heavensward
• 2: ARR

1. Database
   The old spreadsheet has been replaced with a proper database.

2. Expanded Tracking
   The bot now supports shouting for all expansions using their respective patch number. The bot supports scout tracking for 5-7 (Shadowbringers -> Dawntrail). Lower expansions won't work for scout commands.

3. No More .cancel
   The .cancel command is removed. Use the new .undo command to remove a status.

4. New Commands

   • .history shows the last 10 statuses for a server.
   • .undo removes (undoes) a status.
   • .reboot is used for resetting a server’s status when there’s an in-game maintenance reboot.

5. Expansion Parameter
   Commands that use an expansion parameter no longer accept l. Use the expansion number instead. The default is 7 (Dawntrail).

6. Time Parameter
   All commands that accept a time parameter allow you to set the time up to 9 days in the past or future using a format like:

   • 13:37-1 (13:37 Server Time yesterday)
   • 12:34+2 (12:34 Server Time the day after tomorrow)

7. Status Backend
   The new status backend shows the status with the largest (most recent) timestamp as the current status.

   • If you set a status for an older time than a more recent one, it will not appear unless you .undo the newer one.

Below is a simplified list of our updated bot commands. For more details, you can always use the .help command in Discord.

Command	Purpose
.help	Shows help and usage info for commands.
.scout	Begin scouting a world/expansion. Usage: .scout (world) (expansion?).
.scouted	End scouting a world/expansion. Usage: .scouted (world) (expansion?).
.start	Start (mark as running) a train. Usage: .start (world) (expansion?).
.end	Finish a train. Usage: .end (world) (time?).
.undo	Undo a previously set status (like “cancel”). Usage: .undo (statusID?).
.advertise	Advertise your train with an auto 10-minute timer.
.advmanual	Advertise your train manually (no timer).
.speculate	Check the server’s status (spawn times, etc.).
.status	View train status for a world.
.history	Get the last 10 statuses for a world.
.adjust	Adjust the timestamp of a previous status.
.mapping	Check mapping data from Sonar.
.health	Check the last seen data from Sonar.
.reboot	Set a reboot timer after game maintenance.
.sonarcleanup	Clean up Sonar data older than specified.
.cleanup	Manually clean up statuses older than 7 days.

Note

• (expansion?) is optional. If omitted, 7 (Dawntrail) is used by default.
• When providing a time parameter, you can specify exact times plus or minus days as explained above.

• Scouting

  1. .sc Zodiark
     (Begins scouting Zodiark for Dawntrail by default.)
  2. .scend Zodiark 5
     (Ends scouting Zodiark for Shadowbringers.)

• Running & Ending

  1. .start Zodiark 6
     (Marks a Endwalker train as running on Zodiark.)
  2. .end Zodiark
     (Ends the train on Zodiark, Dawntrail by default.)

• Undoing a Mistake

  1. .history Zodiark 5
     (Shows the last 10 statuses for Zodiark's Shadowbringers, each with an ID.)
  2. .undo 12345
     (Removes the status entry with ID 12345.)

---

• .sh (world) ("message") (expansion): Shouts your train with a 10-minute timer, automatically setting the world to running.
  Automatically appends:
  [World] Hunt train starting (in 10 minutes) at <your message>
(Conductor: Discord Nickname)

• .msh ("message") (expansion): Shouts your train with a custom message. No timer is set automatically.
  Automatically appends:
  (Conductor: Discord Nickname)

Tip: In order to include a timer with your .msh command, you can use this site and include it.

After using .sh or .msh, a preview embed will appear. If correct, react with a check mark. A doggospin emoji indicates the message is sending. Your initial message will have a check mark once sent, and the preview will be deleted.

• Keep Messages
  If something goes wrong, do not delete your messages. This helps Staff troubleshoot.

• Use .undo
  Use the .undo command to remove or revert a status if you made a mistake.
