After you have uploaded your files, follow these steps to configure your bot:
Step 1: Open the Startup Settings
- Access your Game Panel.
- Click on the Startup tab to see the variables shown in the image below (media gallery).
Step 2: Core Configuration
Fill in the main details to let the server know how to run your code:
- APP PY FILE: This is the most important field. Type the name of the file that starts your bot (e.g., bot.py or main.py).
- REQUIREMENTS FILE: If your list of libraries is not named requirements.txt, specify the correct filename here.
- ADDITIONAL PYTHON PACKAGES: If you need to install specific libraries (like discord.py or requests), list them here separated by spaces.
Step 3: Git & Automation - optional
If you are pulling your code from GitHub or GitLab:
- GIT REPO ADDRESS: Enter your repository link.
- GIT BRANCH: Specify the branch (usually main or master).
- AUTO UPDATE: Toggle this ON if you want the bot to pull the latest code every time it starts.
Step 4: File Management
- USER UPLOADED FILES: If you manually uploaded your files via SFTP or through the game panel File Manager, make sure this toggle is ON to skip the automated installation process.
Step 5: Start your bot
Go back to the Console and click Start. Your bot will install the necessary packages and go online!
