Was having same problems with the pre-compiled plugins that came with the update. I pulled the source to see if I could fix it, but didn't make any changes and it's working fine now after a simple rebuild of the plugin. Not sure if there was maybe just something that got corrupted with the pre-compile/update since there hasn't been any source changes for MQ2Discord in 2 months.

It’s not actually MQ2Discord that is the problem. It’s the underlying library (sleepy-discord). So you wouldn’t see a code change in MQ2Discord, you’d see it in vcpkg. What commit are you on for your vcpkg submodule?

Last time the issue was with curl, but that also impacted the launcher (not the RG one) since the non-RG one checks for updates. This time I tested that and it wasn’t a problem so I assumed Discord wouldn’t be an issue either, but I haven’t had a chance to test Discord.

Running off the latest commit for vcpkg from 21 Apr 22 for the ZeroMQ MSVC fix.

I did have the issue with python-2.7.18.amd64 in vcpkg from this last update but got around it by building the vcpkg on my laptop vs desktop both updated to the latest sources.
 
Thanks for fixing this, Knightly. Even before it broke, I was getting an error message "You are not authorized to issue commands on this channel," sent by the bot, whenever I try to send a message or command to a toon via their corresponding Discord channel. This was never the case when I used MQ2Discord prior, and I haven't changed any settings or anything. I have given my account full admin privileges over the channels and tried tweaking other settings, but have had no luck. Anyone encountered this before or have any ideas? Thanks.
 
Anyone tried setting this up recently?

I've had it working before, and I've tried every "example yaml" that I could find and just inserted my tokens, chanel ids, and discord id's and I'm still getting the "Token Invalid" on /discord reload.

Any one else experiencing this?

edit:

reading some chatter around the web that the discord bot maker changed the token format, and this is causing scripts to break on multiple games/platforms.

Could that be the issue with those of us who haven't set it up until recently?

Discord did indeed update their token format -- they lengthened it and changed some of the earlier formats. I've changed the regex for how MQ2Discord checks for tokens so that it matches both old and new. But if it happens again, I'll just remove that check entirely.
 
Recently, Discord has stopped working with /bct commands. The text "Plugin mq2discord could not be loaded. Plugin failed to unload from a previous instance, cannot load" pops up whenever I issue /bct commands for a toon to unload or load MQ2discord. It works just fine if I go to that toon and load it that way.

Am I doing something wrong? Thanks.
 
It means you tried to /plugin discord unload and it failed and is stuck in a hung state. There's not usually a reason to unload the plugin, but if it gets stuck it won't reload.
 
So I noticed the IRC plugin is gone and has been replaced with the Discord plugin? I followed the setup guides on how to create the bot etc, but still getting Error: Invalid token. Kinda kicking my @#$@.

Im pretty sure im getting the token from the correct place:

Thanks for the help!

Hi Knightly, I followed this guide: https://gitlab.com/alynel/mq2discord/-/blob/master/docs/Create_Bot_Account.md

That's the right guide... they probably changed their token again and I really should just remove the token validator and let the chips fall where they may. But, just in case...paste your code here:

Does it match?

looks like it does

Discord changed their token format again. I updated the regex to handle that, but I just commented out that token check portion of the code. If it's wrong, it's wrong.

Next build should have the fix.

Discord recently made security changes in regards to bot permissions. Old bots shouldn't be affected but the new ones you'll need to go into your Discord Developer Portal and make an update.
Once you're there select the bot you're using then enable "Message Content Intent". Once that's enabled you will be prompted to save your changes. Maybe go ahead and `/reload discord` for good measure.

This worked for me! I could send outgoing messages but couldn't see anything incoming from Discord until I set this!
 
Question, is there a way ingame to send a command to the discord channel? or can you only do it from the discord channel?
 
I get a error when i try to unload mq2discord, it says not all files can be unloaded, is there any reason for that?
 
Coldblooded posted some Lua code in Discord that might be easier than dealing with this plugin:

i think you are using the wrong ids for your channel, since you put bot id, that should be channel id, the id you get from when you right click your channels, in your discord

Thank you for your help kaen. I updated the ids and when I launched MQ the bot came online as expected. However, I am not getting any notifications from in-game whether is tells or shout. Also when I send a command from Discord it does not show in-game.

Here is the updated .yaml in case you are able to spot something else. If not, no worries!

for some of your channels you have:
Code: 
send_connected: true
allow_commands: false
show_command_response: 0
i think you need to make them more like
Code: 
send_connected: true
allow_commands: true
show_command_response: 2000

That didn't do it. For some reason it is not liking something about the channels. Debug keeps giving me the "Unknown Channel" message. I am Googling and searching RG Forums it but not coming up with anything

Here's one example:
gitlab.com

docs/MQ2Discord.example.yaml · master · Alynel / MQ2Discord · GitLab

GitLab.com
gitlab.com gitlab.com

You can send characters to the same channel or different channels, using the channel ID. You can also have one character send things to multiple channels, but I didn't make an example for that, I just did a basic one to get people started.

Discord is fixed, I let Redbot know to pull the submodule so it can be in the next build.

Hey Knightly, I just re-read this example you posted and I think that may have to do something with the issue I am encountering. When setting up your characters, do you use your actual Discord User ID for all of them, or do you have to create users for them in Discord and get their IDs? For example, I have this for my yaml but I keep getting the error message I posted above

[CODE title="discord.yaml"]token: token
user_ids:
- My Discord User ID
characters:
firiona_char1:
- name: char1
id: channel ID
allowed:
- "[MQ2Discord]#*#"
- "[MQ2]#*#"
- "#*# tells you,#*#"
- "#*#out of character#*#"
- "#*#shouts,#*#"
blocked:
[]
notify:
- "[AlertMaster]#*#"
prefix: ""
send_connected: true
allow_commands: true
show_command_response: 2000
firiona_char2:
- name: char2
id: channel ID
allowed:
- "[MQ2Discord]#*#"
- "[MQ2]#*#"
- "#*# tells you,#*#"
- "#*#out of character#*#"
- "#*#shouts,#*#"
blocked:
[]
notify:
- "[AlertMaster]#*#"
prefix: ""
send_connected: true
allow_commands: true
show_command_response: 2000[/CODE]
 
Ha! figured one part of it down :) What was not clear is that you have to create channels for each thing you want to get. So create a channel in Discord for tells, one for say, etc. Use those IDs for your channels. So for example now I have

[CODE title="discord.yaml"]all:
- name: TellsChannel
id: 86753098675309
allowed:
- tells you
blocked:
- "|${Me.Pet.DisplayName}| tells you#*#"
notify:
[]
prefix: "[${EverQuest.Server}_${Me.Name}]"
send_connected: true
allow_commands: true
show_command_response: 0
- name: Deaths
id: 8675309867530999
allowed:
- You have been slain by
blocked:
[]
notify:
[]
prefix: "[${Me.Name}]"
send_connected: true
allow_commands: true
show_command_response: 0[/CODE]
