Set up County Control | County Control docs

Add the bot, connect your ER:LC private server and post your first session panel. It takes about five minutes.

Before you start

You need two things:

Manage Server or Administrator in your Discord server.
The server-key from your ER:LC private server. In ER:LC, open your private server's settings and copy the key under API.

You don't need an IP whitelist. County Control is registered with ER:LC as a public application, so the server-key is all it needs.

The five steps

Add the bot
Invite County Control to your server. It asks for Administrator because moderation, panels and anti-nuke all manage members and channels.
Connect ER:LC
Run /seterlc and paste your server-key. The bot checks it straight away and tells you if ER:LC rejected it.
Authorize in-game commands
The server owner runs /erlc authorize and opens the link once. After that the bot can run commands in your server: announcements, private messages, kicks and timers.
Pick your channels
Run /setup for a checklist of what is done and what is missing, or choose channels and roles on the dashboard.
Start a session
Run /ssu vote to open a start-up vote, or /ssu start to go straight to a live panel. Post the always-updated panel with /sessions.

Tip

Lost track? /mybot shows what County Control is doing in your server and what is left to set up.
