How to schedule a new HOI4 game with reservation

How to create a new HOI4 game with a reservation

If you are an administrator of a Discord server that uses the HOI4Intel bot, you can use the /add_hoi_game command to create a new HOI4 game with reservation. This command lets you specify the details of the game, such as the date, time, time zone, announcement channel, title, description, lobby voice channel, rating requirement, and Steam verification. 
The bot will then make an announcement in the specified channel and allow users to reserve nations for the game.

Usage

The syntax of the /add_hoi_game command is:

/add_hoi_game date_time time_zone announcement_channel title description lobby_vc [global_database] [rating_required] [steam_required]

The parameters are:

  • date_time: The date and time of the game in one of these formats: Day.Month.Year Hours:Minutes, Day-Month-Year Hours:Minutes, or Day/Month/Year Hours:Minutes. For example: 24.12.2023 23:56.
  • time_zone: The time zone of the game in the format Region/City. For example: Europe/Berlin. You can find a list of all valid time zones here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones.
  • announcement_channel: The Discord text channel where the bot will make the event announcement and let users reserve nations.
  • title: The title of the game. For example: Christmas Eve Game.
  • description: The description of the game. For example: A casual game with friends on Christmas Eve..
  • lobby_vc: The Discord voice channel where the game will take place.
  • [global_database]: An optional parameter that indicates whether the game will use the global database or not. If set to true, the game will use the global database and affect the ratings of the players. If set to false or left blank, the game will use a local database and not affect the ratings of the players.
  • [rating_required]: An optional parameter that sets a minimum rating required to reserve a nation for the game. If set to a positive number, only users with that rating or higher can reserve a nation. If set to zero or left blank, there is no rating requirement.
  • [steam_required]: An optional parameter that indicates whether Steam verification is required to reserve a nation for the game. If set to true, only users who have verified their Steam account with the bot can reserve a nation. If set to false or left blank, there is no steam verification requirement.

Example

An example of using the /add_hoi_game command is:

/add_hoi_game date_time:5.5.2023 15:00 time_zone:Europe/Berlin announcement_channel:#announcements title:HOI4 SEMI-HIST description:SEMI-HIST game hosted with the SEMI-HIST mod by Ninjonik, majors vetting, reservations enabled lobby_vc:#"Lobby Simulator"

This will create a new HOI4 game with a reservation for 5.5.2023 15:00 (UTC+01:00) with the title “HOI4 SEMI-HIST” and the description SEMI-HIST game hosted with the SEMI-HIST mod by Ninjonik, majors vetting, reservations enabled
