Connect your ER:LC server | County Control docs

Save your private server's API key and approve County Control once, so sessions, player counts and in-game commands work.

5 minutesAdministrator, plus one click from the ER:LC server owner

County Control talks to your ER:LC private server through its server-key. With the key saved it can read player counts and the join code. After the server owner approves it once, it can also run in-game commands like :shutdown, priority timers and kicks.

Before you start

You need the Administrator permission in your Discord server.
You need the server-key. In ER:LC, open your private server's settings and copy the key under API.
No IP whitelist is needed. County Control is registered with ER:LC as a public app.

Steps

1. Save the key

Type /seterlc and paste your key into the key box. Use the slash command, not t!seterlc, so the key is never posted as a normal message.

You see: "ER:LC key saved and working, connected to Your Server (12/40 players)." Under it is a section called One-time step to enable remote commands with a link.

2. Have the server owner approve it

Send that link to whoever owns the ER:LC private server. They open it while signed in to Roblox and approve. This is done once per key.

You see: nothing changes in Discord straight away. Run /setup and the ER:LC authorization row turns to Done once ER:LC reports the approval.

3. Check it works

Type /players.

You see: "In-game players (12/40)" with everyone grouped by team, staff first. If nobody is in-game it says "Nobody is in the server right now."

Change it later

Show the authorize link again: /erlc authorize.
Send kills, joins and in-game commands to a channel: /erlclog channel.
Post in-game moderator calls to a channel: /erlclog modcalls.
Give in-game mod and admin from Discord roles: /erlc ingameperms (Administrator only).

Tip

The ER:LC page on https://cc.pcdev.dev/dashboard/ does all of this with a form. Only members with Administrator can see that page.

If something goes wrong

"Key saved, but ER:LC didn't accept it just now." The key is wrong or was regenerated. Copy it again from ER:LC and run /seterlc again. Regenerating the key in ER:LC turns the old one off at once.
Player counts work but /ssu shutdown or /erlc command fails. The owner has not approved the link yet. Run /erlc authorize and send them the link again.
"No ER:LC key is set here yet." Do step 1 first.
"That server-key doesn't look right." Something extra got pasted (a space, a quote mark). Paste only the key.
