Sentinel Discord Bot

Sentinel is a comprehensive, professional-grade solution for Discord server moderation and community management. It features an advanced ticket system, auto-moderation, leveling, a fully-featured Admin Panel web dashboard, and much more.

🚀 Setup & Installation

Important: Enable Privileged Gateway Intents

Before your bot can function correctly, you must enable Privileged Gateway Intents in the Discord Developer Portal. Our bot's features (such as welcoming users, checking statuses, and managing tickets) require these extra intents.

1. Go to the Discord Developer Portal
2. Select your application and click on Bot on the left menu.
3. Scroll down to the Privileged Gateway Intents section.
4. Toggle ON exactly these three settings:
   • ✅ Presence Intent
   • ✅ Server Members Intent
   • ✅ Message Content Intent
5. Save your changes!

📥 Inviting the Bot

To ensure the bot functions seamlessly with its advanced ticket, logging, and moderating features, you should invite it using the following links.

Option 1: Administrator Permissions (Highly Recommended) This ensures the bot can manage channels for tickets, assign roles, kick/ban users, and delete messages without running into generic 'Missing Access' errors. 🔗 Invite Bot (Admin)

Option 2: Specific Permissions If you prefer not to grant Administrator, this link requests the specific granular permissions needed by the modules. 🔗 Invite Bot (Specific)

(Note: Replace YOUR_CLIENT_ID_HERE with your bot's Client ID from the Discord portal before clicking!)

⚙️ Getting Started

1. Ensure Node.js (v18+) is installed.
2. Run npm install to download dependencies.
3. Configure your bot:
   • Ensure an environment file exists at Config/credentials.env.
   • Ensure your TOKEN, CLIENT_ID, and GUILD_ID (your server ID) are set.
   • If using the Admin Panel, set up your OAuth credentials.
4. Start the bot by typing node index.js in the terminal.

📚 Admin Panel Help Pages

🐛 Troubleshooting

• Error registering commands: Missing Access: Make sure you have authorized the bot via an invite link that has the applications.commands scope (the ones provided above include it). Additionally, ensure your GUILD_ID in .env is correct.
• Commands Not Responding/Crashing on Startup: Re-check your Privileged Gateway Intents in the Discord Developer Portal.
