Set up Discord channels, roles, and launch checks before enabling Helios modules.

Owner setup decides who can run Helios commands and where Helios output should go.

Requirements

Before starting, make sure you have:

  • Administrator access on the Discord server
  • Permission to create roles and channels
  • A final staff list for owner, admin, and moderator teams

Setup Steps

1. Create Core Channels

Create these Discord channels before connecting or configuring major Helios systems.

ChannelPurposeWho Can See It
#helios-cmdAdmin and owner command executionOwner + Admin only
#raid-alertsCritical alerts, raid pings, and failuresOwner + Admin + Moderator
#killfeedKill feed outputCommunity or staff — your call
#player-feedJoin and leave eventsModerator + Admin
#admin-feedTracks mod, admin, and owner actionsOwner + Admin only

Never run setup commands in a public channel. Setup can expose important server information.


2. Create Staff Roles

Set up your main staff roles before giving anyone Helios access.

OwnerAdministratorKeep membership very small
AdminManage ServerDaily management and module setup
ModeratorRead-heavy command scopeNo billing or wipe control

3. Set Up the Link Role

Use /set link-role to assign the default Discord role players receive when they use /link.

You can also optionally set Xbox and PlayStation roles to be given when players link.

set link-role command


4. Set Notification Channels

Set up your main Discord feed channels with these commands:

/dcfeed add
/dcplayerfeed add
/set raid-channel
/adminfeed add

Discord Kill Feeds

Use /dcfeed add to choose the channel where killfeed messages should be sent.

  • Select the Discord channel for killfeeds
  • Optionally choose a specific server
  • If no server is selected, all connected servers can send killfeeds to that channel

dcfeed add command


Player Join / Leave Feeds

Use /dcplayerfeed add to choose where player join and leave messages should be sent.

  • Select the Discord channel for player activity
  • Optionally choose a specific server

dcplayerfeed add command


Raid Alerts

Use /set raid-channel to choose the Discord channel where raid alert messages should be sent.

set raid channel command

Players can then use /raid link to connect themselves to raid alerts.

Players can also turn on Direct Message alerts for raid notifications.

Admin Feeds

Use /adminfeed add to choose the channel where admin feed logs should be sent.

Admin feeds show important staff and command activity, including:

  • In-game gives from Moderators, Admins, and Owners
  • Staff actions based on auth level in game
  • Kit gives
  • Kit Manager gives
  • Gives done through Helios

admin feed command


Example

A good first-time setup would look like this:

The owner creates #helios-cmd, restricts it to Owner + Admin, grants Manage Server to the Admin role, and keeps Administrator locked to owners only.

After that, the owner creates the feed channels and configures Helios output before connecting major systems.
