Although Discord has made it easier to copy a server for backup or re-launch, these "template" settings extend only to channels, roles, and permissions. There is no easy way to save your server's graphics, except for emotes, without help. And even emotes are time-consuming to save.

This command allows an operator with the "Manage Server" permission to collect all of the graphical assets within their server and quickly dump them into a new server or save them for future projects. This includes the icon, invite splash, banner, stickers, role icons, and emotes, if any of them exist. They will be arranged in an organised folder and posted as one convenient Zip archive. The time the command takes to complete will be proportional to the volume of content that needs to be saved.

The zip file will be posted to the channel you call the command in. If that post is destroyed, there are no additional backups, as the archive zip's files are not retained on CalRef servers. The command has a one-hour cooldown.

Activate with /assets or @Dot assets

After being set up, the autopins feature will pin any message which has reached a requisite number of 📌 reactions within a twelve-hour span of the message first being posted. If a pinned message falls back below the pin threshold due to un-reacts within the same time window, it will be unpinned again.

This command requires both Dot and the command operator (not the reactors) to have the "Manage Messages" permission.

Use /autopins or @Dot autopins to open the console menu. The Set Active button will let you set the threshold of reactions needed, and the Clear Data button will wipe your autopins settings.

Added in Dot 3.3: Endotarting Update

Autoroles automatically apply between one and ten roles to members upon their arrival in your server. Consequently, Dot requires the Manage Roles permission, and the operator is required to be an administrator to use this command.

Use the dropdown menu to select the roles members should receive. Then, close the menu and press Set Active to turn them on. You can also bypass the dropdown and toggle the feature on or off with both Set Active and Set Inactive. If you would like to clear the data, there is a Clear Data which wipes your autorole settings.

A role will only populate in the list of roles if it is available to be assigned. If the role you want is higher than Dot's highest role or there is a role that cannot be assigned manually, it will be absent. Additionally, only the lowest 25 roles will populate in the dropdown, so if it is still missing, consider moving some things around.

Activate the command with /autoroles or @Dot autoroles

Added in Dot 3.4: Rolling Rolling Rolling Update

Farewells are messages that pop up in pre-set channels when members depart your server. This can be useful in letting you know how things are going with your moderation, or to record a member's roles in case you need to reapply them in the future.

To begin, set a designated channel by adding an argument to the base command. For example: /farewell #landing, or whatever channel you want to use.

From here, you can re-run the command, /farewell, to create a preview of the farewell message, accompanied by control buttons in the usual admin interface. These buttons allow you to activate or deactivate the feature, as well as setting an image to embed with the posts. If you wish to clear an image, simply leave the box blank. The interface will update in real time when your preferences are set.

Added in Dot 2.0: Rewrite Update

This function clears a specified number of messages from the channel that it is used in. You can activate the command by saying @Dot prune 🟡 where 🟡 is the number of messages you wish to clear. There is a hard coded limit of 50 messages for each use of the command.

For example, /prune 25 or @Dot prune 25 to remove the last 25 messages from the channel.

Added in Dot 2.0: Rewrite Update

This command allows an administrator to view and manage all of the reaction role messages that they have set up with Dot across their server.

If any reaction messages are set, a dropdown menu will be populated with them, indexed by the embed fields. You can cancel them individually by selecting one or more messages with the dropdown, closing the dropdown, and then pressing End Selected. You can also press End All to delete all reaction role entries, or That's Fine to exit.

Establish new reaction role messages or edit existing ones by using the /set command.

Added in Dot 3.4: Rolling Rolling Rolling Update

This command allows you to establish reaction role messages in your server or edit existing ones. Reaction role messages provide a user with a role automatically when they react to it, and remove the role when they unreact. Consequently, Dot requires the Manage Roles permission to carry out this function. You can use the reacts command for an overview of all reaction role messages which are active in your server.

The syntax for adding a react role is: /set add [message url], [emoji], [role ID or ping].

When you successfully set a react role, Dot will attempt to add it to the message if it's a standard emoji or an emote in a server that Dot has access to. If you set an emote from a server Dot's not in, you'll have to add the reaction to the message yourself but it will otherwise behave the same.

Drop a reaction role from a reaction message with /set drop [message url], [emoji]

Terminate a reaction message setting with /set end [message url]

Added in Dot 3.4: Rolling Rolling Rolling Update

Allows a Calamity Refuge staff member to terminate all existing invites to the CalRef server, replace them, or switch out invites that already exist. Dot will instantly publish any new invites to the designated CalRef server invite URL so no hard coded intervention is ever needed.

Activate in the CalRef server with /spin down or @Dot spin down to terminate existing invites. Use /spin up or @Dot spin down to generate a new one.

Added in Dot 2.6: UEFA Euro 2020 Update

Welcomes are messages that post when a new member arrives in your server. You can use them to provide opening instructions, give links, a server overview, or anything else you wish. You can also use this function to ping a "welcome squad" to help integrate new members.

To begin, set a designated channel by adding an argument to the base command. For example: /welcome #landing, or whatever channel you want to use.

From here, you can re-run /welcome to create a preview of the welcome message, accompanied by control buttons in the usual admin interface. These buttons allow you to activate or deactivate the feature, as well as setting the welcome message's content in its entirety, including a title, URL, image, and message body, and welcome squad ping. When you update any of them, the interface's preview will update in real time with your current settings.

You can adjust any field of the modal to adjust it individually. If you don't want to change anything, leave it blank.

Added in Dot 2.0: Rewrite Update

Displays the contents of your bank within Dot's economy, including your balance in planets, stocks, and any seasonal extras which are in your portfolio. By default, the bank command shows your account; however, you can also target other players and see their portfolios by using their ID, username, or nick.

For example, /bank for your own or, /bank Emily for Emily's account.

Added in Dot 2.4: Economy Update

This command is a sort of cross between the fortune command, and many other bot's "dailies" payout commands.

It allows you to have a "familiar", or guardian, assigned to you for the day, where a "familiar" is an entity, location, or conceptual idea. That familiar will provide a static payout in planets, according to its innate quality. There are five* quality levels, with the lowest level paying out at 100 planets, while the highest pays out at 1,000.

In addition to the payouts, the familiar also comes with a certain stance or attitude towards you. This attitude is determined by the innate disposition of the particular familiar, the day's global dice roll (is it a good day, bad day, or middling?), and the operator's personal roll. Some familiars are innately hostile, but can be encountered as superfriendly if the dice rolls aligned, just as the reverse is true as well.

Activate the command with /familiar or @Dot familiar

Added in Dot 3.9: Sounds Familiar Update

This command allows you to carry out a transfer of planets from your account to another player's account, without transaction fees. Since v3.8.3, the command now only has a single form. The output will have a user select dropdown where you can either type or otherwise locate and click the member they wish to send funds to, then close the dropdown, and click the Give button. This button summons a popup modal where the operator can specify the amount to send.

Activate with /give or @Dot give

Added in Dot 2.6: UEFA Euro 2020 Update

This is a command to check how the wealthiest players are progressing within the Generation II economy, and see if you, yourself, are of that number.

This command will display a paginated leaderboard of the top 100 players within the system, along with navigation buttons to traverse it. The bottom of the output displays your rank within the system, even if you are not among the top 100 players. Only the top 1% of players will receive the legendary Gen II Shitlord Badge of Extreme Wealth Hoarding badge. Whether this is something you are aiming to obtain or aiming to avoid is up to you.

Activate this command with /inequality or @Dot inequality

Added in Dot 3.8: Economy II Update

The Infinity project is a way for members to donate money to an In-Character charity project. The types of work Infinity carries out is always strange, supernatural, or in some way extraordinary, but it is always done with the justification that it will create a utopia across the galaxy and space-time.

The base command will show you their current projects, their current fundraising total, as well as what you have contributed personally. You can use the Donate button to turn in your in-game planets to the cause. Using the Leaderboard buttons, you can received a paginated list of the top 100 donors within the Infinity project and see if you are among that number. The bottom of the output displays your rank within the system, even if you are not among the top 100 players.

At the end of the economy season, Gen II Economy badges will be awarded to the top Infinity donors and, in contrast to Gen I, this will be the only way that a player can obtain it. The number of badges will be equal to the number of inequality badges, OR the top 5% of Infinity donors (whichever is greater).

Activate this command with /infinity or @Dot infinity

Added in Dot 2.4: Economy Update

This command generates a paginated leaderboard of regions with their ranked position, ordered by delegate voting power. You can traverse the leaderboard with the buttons below the output. Additionally, there is a button that will return a .txt file with the names of all delegates, separated by commas and broken into lines of eight. You can use this output along with the timer command to speed through manual telegram World Assembly campaigning.

For research interests, you can use the Historical button and enter a date within the last eleven years, in YYYY-MM-DD format. The output will be a paginated leaderboard from that date, showing you who the top delegates were in the past. You can output this leaderboard to a .csv as well, should you choose.

Activate with /delegates or @Dot delegates

Added in Dot 3.7: Backup Plan Update

This function locates General Assembly or Security Council resolutions passed at some point by the World Assembly, and provides some summary information about them. Such information includes its title, URL, tagline, category, scope or target, author, votes (and per cent) for and against, ID. You'll also receive the date passed as a discord time object, and a short blurb from the actual resolution content with BB code translated to discord's markup. If the resolution has been repealed, that information is provided and linked, and for actual repeals, you'll receive information about its target.

You can include a #, or not, whichever. Just make sure there's a space between the command and the resolution number.

For example:

/GA 1 or @Dot GA 1 to bring up General Assembly resolution #1.

/SC 1 or @Dot SC 1 to bring up Security Council resolution #1.

Added in Dot 2.0: Rewrite Update

This is a command for welcoming recent arrivals in a given region. It requires an admin to set it up, and only they will be able to use the management buttons. These include setting a region, setting authorised roles, and resetting the list of seen nations if necessary.

A nation will never be welcomed twice, even if that nation moves out and back, unless an admin resets the seen list. Consequently, designating a role that's authorised to use hail is a best practice to prevent members from running the command randomly and with new arrivals being lost.

Once a region has been set, the region's current roster of nations is also set, and the hailing can begin. If the operator is a server admin or has the authorised role set earlier, the Welcome button will appear. This button will pull the list of nations that have arrived since the region was set, reset, or the last time the command was run.

The preferences and nation data for this command are stored by server, but can also be used in a direct message channel.

Run the command by with /hail or @Dot hail

Added in Dot 3.6: Fade to Black Update

This command links to Refugia's primary RP map. It is useful when you have no idea where it is or otherwise cannot be bothered to find it. The title will link to the dispatch URL and the output embed will contain an image, linked to whatever the current state map image is, Discord's aggressive image caching notwithstanding.

In the CalRef server, activate with /map or @Dot map

Added in Dot 1.0 (Nov 5 2020 Update)

This command reports a host of information about a current NationStates nation. Twenty-three different metrics are pulled from its data that's available on-site like dispatches, influence, and C&C status, to things that are not, such as issues answered, telegram preferences, and ID. For nations which are World Assembly members, you can also see their endorsements and which way they have voted in any ongoing General Assembly or Security Council votes.

Additionally, this command pulls top's data to show how many endorsements a nation has given out, as well as delegates' data, showing an applicable delegate's respective power rank. Nation flags are posted as an attachment to the output embed. If that image is an SVG, Dot will render that SVG with reasonable dimensions as a lossless PNG.

Activate with, for example, /nation Testlandia or @Dot nation Testlandia for the current status of Testlandia.

Added in Dot 2.0: Rewrite Update

Provides a variety of overview data for a given NationStates region. This includes items like population, World Assembly members, how many endorsements they collectively have, and so their expected influence gain rates, and other vital statistics like dates and update times. If the region has uploaded a custom banner, that banner is provided as a permanent attachment to the output embed, so you can always download it later.

Along with this information, the command contains several buttons which allow you to graph a region's activity (the days since its nations, respectively, last logged in), its current residents with WA filtering, and the ability to graph a host of statistical analytics. The graphing option includes population, WA information, delegate power, and much more. All of it can be graphed individually or with dual graphs. If a dual graph is selected, you can contrast the region data against whatever world data was going on at the time, or additional region data.

If a region had a delegate during the graphing period, it will be highlighted in the output, although this can be toggled off. Delegate overlays will not print a name if they do not take up at least 10% of the chart area, and delegate names that are overly long will be trimmed unless their term was correspondingly huge. Note that before July 17, 2017, NationStates did not include endorsement data in its data dumps, and that information can no longer be retrieved or recreated.

Activate this command with, for example, /region Refugia or @Dot region Refugia for the current status of Refugia.

Added in Dot 2.0: Rewrite Update

You can use this command to link to the Refugia Revised Statutes when you have no idea where they are or cannot be bothered to find them. Using the command by itself will link to the law dispatch in its entirety, but you can also use this command with the argument of a specific statute to post that statute's text if you need one in particular.

Activate with /rrs, /rrs 2a (or any other specific statute).

Added in Dot 1.0 (Nov 5 2020 Update)

This function allows you to back up any user-created region on NationStates by copying its RMB, recording its regional history, and compiling it into an archive that can be unzipped and hosted on any server. Use /save 🟡, where 🟡 is your desired region. For example, /save Refugia.

The archive is designed to replicate as much of the original RMB post environment as is feasible, so you'll not only have your data, you'll have some of the original experience as well. This archive splits the RMB history into 100 messages per page, with a handy nav bar at the top and bottom of the screen. Bold, italics, underline, strike, nation tags, region tags, quote tags, and url tags are all supported and translated from bbcode to html.

At the top of every RMB page, there will be a link to a replica of your region's history. All major events like delegate changes, embassy movements, Security Council action and more will be located here. The top of this history page features a chart, which will show you a graph of your region's population history, similarly to the way NationStates displays one. If you want to take that data and use it somewhere else, there is a "Source" link below the chart, so you can get the compiled spreadsheet. Inside the "Resources" directory of the output, there's also a "RawData" zip, which contains the original XML post data from Dot's API calls, so that if a more advanced regional archival tool is developed in the future, you will have access to what I had access to when first creating this command.

There is an example of what a saved region looks like, available here.

Added in Dot 2.5: Region Saver Update

This command locates all of the World Assembly nations inside a target's region which are not endorsing that target. The output will consist of two uploaded text files, where one contains the list of names, broken into lines of eight in case you wish to manually telegram them to ask for an endorsement. The second file will be the same output, but with the nations pre-organised into a no-headers BB code table, so you can drop it directly into a dispatch.

The last line will always be blank so you can click and drag to select the whole list on Discord's desktop client, at least whenever the output from your target isn't massive.

You can say, for example, /slackers Sylh Alanor for all the nations not currently endorsing Sylh Alanor.

Added in Dot 2.8: Slackers' QoL Update

This command pulls all of the World Assembly members that a given nation has not endorsed as of NationStates' last Major update (21:00-22:30 PST) and compiles it in a way you can easily use. It gives a similar functionality to Tart.CalRef, but within a Discord server.

The required field is the target nation about which you would like to examine. The output is an embed of nations, hyperlinked to the closest anchor to their endorse button, and paginated by buttons below the message. To the right of the navigation buttons is a link to the web sheet, which plugs your data into Tart.CalRef directly.

The web sheet contains two methods, the first is an assistance button. On Chrome and Edge, you can hold ctrl and click the button until it has cycled through all the nations you've missed. Regrettably, Firefox does not permit this functionality, but you can still left-click, endorse, back-button, and repeat if you find it convenient. The second method is a table of buttons for all nations you have yet to endorse, which you can ctrl+click through individually. With every click, the button will turn green so you can visually keep track of where you are and not lose your progress.

This command works off a database that is generated once per day, typically at 1AM, PDT (UTC-8).

To activate, you can say for example, /tart Refuge Isle to bring up all the nations in Refuge Isle's region that it didn't endorse by the Major prior (if NationStates supplied an updated data dump by 01:00 Pacific).

Added in Dot 3.3: Endotarting Update

You can use this command to see how many telegrams are currently pending across NationStates, by type.

This allows you to glean some manner of insight into both how many other regions are recruiting, as well as what the approximate found rate is. If the number of telegrams in the stamp queue is over 25,000, there's a good chance that nations are being founded at a higher than average rate. If stamps are lower than 10,000, it's probably dead as nails.

Simply activate with /telegrams or @Dot telegrams

Added in Dot 2.0: Rewrite Update

On NationStates, the cooldown that you experience in between sending telegrams is a duration proportionate to the age of your nation. If you have a very new nation, your telegram cooldown is much higher (over a minute and a half for a batch of eight). If your nation is very old (even if the population is low), your cooldown is shorter (down to 40s for a batch of eight). In order to ensure the least wasted time, this command exists to give you a timer that is appropriate for a given operator.

To use it, input what nation you'll be sending telegrams from by saying /timer base 🟡, where 🟡 is your nation name. Dot will then look up your nation and give you an estimated timer based on its age every time you use the command. That means that if you're still sending telegrams from your new nation a year from now, there's no need to set the base nation again; the timer will adjust to what you need as your nation ages.

After your nation is set, use /timer or @Dot t

Added in Dot 2.10: Adaptation Update

This command allows an operator to instantly check what nations have sent out the most endorsements in any given region, for use in WA development programs.

The output generated is a list of the top 25 players, sorted by endorsements given, with an additional uploaded bbcode table for all nations' endorsements in the target region. You can use this table in forums, dispatches, RMB posts, and telegrams. The bbcode table acknowledges ties, so if you have a nation in first place with 100 endorsements out, but three players with 99, all three players will be reported as being tied for 2^nd. The next line will be 3^rd and not 5^th because I think doing it any other way is kinda weird.

To use this command, say for example /top Refugia

If you need to have a certain number of nations highlighted for some kind of competition or acknowledgement, you can use a , 🟡 modifier, where 🟡 is how many nations you want to bold in the bbcode table. For example /top Refugia, 20 will give the normal output, but with each cell in the top 20 rows of the bbcode table set to bold.

Added in Dot 2.10: Adaptation Update

For dispatches and factbooks on NationStates, players can upvote or downvote to get them to populate the trending dispatches feed, or just demonstrate support. The upvotes appear in the upper right of the screen. However, if a dispatch becomes downvoted below 1, a minimum score of 1 will still be displayed. The dispatch's true score is still available through an API call, and Dot's truesight command can provide that real number if it is ever desired.

Activate by using /truesight 🟡, where 🟡 is a dispatch's URL or its ID.

Added in Dot 2.0: Rewrite Update

This command gives you the current status of the World Assembly by displaying what resolutions are at vote. Displayed data includes linked resolution titles, category, scopes, linked authors, when voting began, how many hours remain, and what the total and popular vote counts are.

Dot will also produce a nifty and dramatic graph output depicting the for and against votes against the backdrop of the not-UN, in a way similar to how it appears on-site.

Simply activate with /wa

Added in Dot 2.5: Region Saver Update

This is a command to give some overview information about the world, such as population, total regions, total World Assembly members, and delegates. It also provides a list of the top 10 currently trending dispatches and the current top 10 regions by World Assembly members.

Included with the output are buttons to generate graphs based on other World data, including the world's activity (the days since its nations, last logged in), the volume of nations founded in the last 28 days, and a variety of more complex historical graphs. The latter include histories on population, World Assembly members and delegates, total regions, total endorsements, founds, and much more. For all of these graphing options, you can receive a .csv download of the information if you would like to generate your own graphs with it.

Note that before July 17, 2017, NationStates did not include endorsement data in its data dumps, and that information can no longer be retrieved or recreated.

Activate this command by using /world
