discord-server-change

This is a quick-and-dirty implementation of a bot that allows you to easily change voice server region with commands.
Only reason this exists is because the Europe servers always die, so I needed something that required the least amount of clicking.

The bot requires, at minimum, Manage Channels permission to change the voice channel regions.

Add to your server

You have two choices:

• If you have the technical knowhow, set it up yourself and host it yourself.
• Invite one of the public bots to your server:
  • [Recommended for public servers] Users with the Manage Channels or Administrator permissions in the server can change regions: Click to invite (Server Changer#1071)
  • Any user in the server can change regions: Click to invite (Server Changer [Everyone]#1557)
    • I do not recommend using this bot at all in a public server and only for small servers for friend groups (and similar).

Setup

For self-hosting

• Install Node.js and npm
  • I recommend running the LTS (Long-Term Support) release. At the time of writing this, that should be 12.x.x.
• Download (with ZIP) or clone the project using Git: git clone https://github.com/Decicus/discord-server-change.git
• Navigate to the folder and run npm install: cd discord-server-change && npm install
• Copy the file config.sample.js to config.js.
• Open config.js with a text editor and add your Discord bot token
  • The configuration option Discord.allowEveryoneToMoveRegion can be used to decide if everyone in the server (regardless of permissions) can move server regions.
  • I recommend leaving Discord.allowEveryoneToMoveRegion to false if you’re hosting it on a public server, but it’s useful for private servers with just friends.
• Run the bot using node index.js.
  • If it runs successfully then I recommend setting it up as a service using PM2 (process manager).
• Generate an invite URL to add it to your server.
  • Make sure to specify your client ID in your bot application.
• Test the bot by using one of the commands, such as !region.

Usage

If the configuration option Discord.allowEveryoneToMoveRegion is set to false (default), then the following server members can use the commands:

• Any server member with Manage Channels (manageChannels) permission.
• Any server member with Administrator permission.
• The server owner.

If the configuration option Discord.allowEveryoneToMoveRegion is set to true, then everyone can use the commands - regardless of server permissions.

For public servers, I recommend leaving Discord.allowEveryoneToMoveRegion to false.

Keep in mind that commands will only work inside a text channel on the server.
Sending the bot a direct message will not work.

The user running the command will also need to be connected to the voice channel they would like to change regions for.
In the future the bot will allow typing part of the channel name, as long as the “part” matches only one channel, but the initial 2.0.0 release will only work if you’re connected to a voice channel.
