Server settings
Basic guild configuration
Server settings control two fundamental behaviours: the language TeraOne uses to communicate on your server, and the presence (status and activity) the bot displays in the member list.
Guild locale
The guild locale determines the language the bot writes in on your server — this affects welcome messages, level-up announcements, audit log Embeds, AutoMod warnings, and DayZ Killfeed posts.
| Locale | Bot language |
|---|---|
de | German |
en | English |
The guild locale is independent of the dashboard language. You can use the dashboard in English while the bot communicates with your community in German.
Bot presence
Presence defines how the bot appears in the member list: which status indicator it shows (Online, Idle, Do Not Disturb, Invisible) and which activity text appears below it.
Status
| Value | Display in Discord |
|---|---|
online | Green dot — Online |
idle | Yellow moon — Idle |
dnd | Red circle — Do Not Disturb |
invisible | Grey circle — Invisible (bot appears offline) |
Activity types
| Type | Display in Discord |
|---|---|
playing | Playing {text} |
streaming | Streaming {text} (purple dot, streaming URL required) |
listening | Listening to {text} |
watching | Watching {text} |
competing | Competing in {text} |
custom | {text} (arbitrary text, no prefix) |
Streaming URL: only required for type "streaming". Allowed domains: twitch.tv and youtube.com. Sets the bot status to a purple streaming dot.
Example
Status: online | Type: streaming | Text: on twitch.tv/yourchannel | URL: https://twitch.tv/yourchannel → Bot shows: "Streaming on twitch.tv/yourchannel" with a purple dot.Important note on presence scope
Bot presence is global — it applies to ALL servers where TeraOne is active. When you change the presence, it changes on every server simultaneously. This is a Discord limitation: a bot account has exactly one presence.
Exception: if you have configured a custom bot, the presence only applies to that one bot account — and therefore only to your server. This is one of the main advantages of a custom bot.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I automatically rotate the presence at different times of day?
- No, there is no scheduled presence rotation. You can change it manually in the dashboard at any time.
- Why does the bot still show the old presence after saving?
- Discord caches presence displays. Wait 30–60 seconds or reload Discord.
- If I set the locale to EN but use the dashboard in DE — which language does the bot respond in?
- The bot responds in the language configured in the guild locale (EN in this example). The dashboard language is unaffected.
