Frequently Asked Questions

What types of games are supported?

Those listed in the qs!games command. For now there are only a few, in the future I will try to add more games supported by QuakeStat.

What games supported by QuakeStat do you not plan to add?

What does "X hidden" mean in the player counter?

It refers to the number of players without nicknames that for some reason the server returns and that are hidden from the online players list (sometimes) to avoid displaying irrelevant information.

How can I add map images?

The map images actually come from MaPicDB, an Igloo Cafe project to create a gallery of screenshots of videogame maps, similar to GameTracker's map image system. For now such project and website is under construction so you'll have to wait.

Why the server I want to query usually return "offline" or "timeout"?

This can happen for different reasons:

Why are Unicode characters not displayed in the hostname or player nicknames?

Unfortunately this seems to be a limitation of the QuakeStat JSON and not of the bot.

How many favorite servers can I add?

Only up to 15 favorite servers can be added per guild.

What language is this bot made in?

Discord.js (with SQLite for storing favorite servers) and it's running under Bun.

There's any official Discord server for this bot?

No and I don't plan to make one (actually there's one but it's private and only for testing purposes).

Why there's not slash commands? Or why the bot says there are slash commands but they don't work?

During the development of the bot I implemented them but it became uncomfortable to use when doing copypaste of the commands in chat so I just decided to remove them and leave the classic prefix format instead. If I were to do it again I would have to rewrite all the code converting all commands to interactions and honestly I don't feel like doing that.
