[Under Consideration] Discord integration via webhook

[BlackDeath]

Instead of going the BOT route and having to bother with registering a token setting permission, etc. Have you thought about simply integrating a Discord webhook instead? The Conan Exiles server tool the developer created is a good example of what I'm talking about. Information on their tool for example sake: Conan Exiles Dedicated Server Launcher (Official Version: 1.0.44 / Beta: ----)

You can setup and push custom messages at whatever intervals you see fit. Here's some screenshots of my current setup. Took all of a minute.

I could do that, but that's only one way communication. With an actual bot, I can listen for messages and react to them within Discord as well. But... its a good idea to keep in mind for when it makes sense to use. =)

I'm curious what you would want to send from Discord back to the game server? Like administrative commands or something else?

Correct, as an example someone with the proper roles in Discord can chat into the game, kick,ban users. Or run any other commands you can think of. Want to spawn a horde near a player, you can do that from Discord, etc. So basically you can fully admin your server, from your phone/browser using the Discord phone app or browser.

Speaking of such Trek. Can you give me Discord privies? I cant go into any channels and I don't know why. I know I am all registered and such.
