# Setup Bolt

{% hint style="warning" %}
You need **Administrator** permissions for most commands. However, it is not required for [language setting](#language).
{% endhint %}

## Actionlogs

The action log feature will log nearly **all actions** that take place in the server into a channel. Use the command below to set these logs up.

```
setaction [#channel]
```

## Auto Nickname

In french : Surnoms automatiques.

The auto nickname system is based on the dehoist command. It verifies the username of all new members. If it includes a special character at the beginning, Bolt set a `Dehoist!` nickname for the user. The same goes for users that put an invite link in their username.

List of characters triggering Auto Nickname : \[`'`, `&`, `xX`, `?`, `!`, `[ ]`, `( )`, `"`, `,`, `\`, `/`, `.` and `xx`]. `discord.gg` is also a trigger.

{% hint style="info" %}
Be sure Bolt has Manage Nicknames permissions and its role to be above Members role.
{% endhint %}

Now you've learnt everything about Auto Nickname, use this command to set it up.

```
setdehoist [true/on/false/off]
```

![Here is what the member join log looks like. The Auto Nickname is turned off.](https://882532783-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-M8GMHH6pVeTFfxrvxC8%2F-M8fa3bFmDCEErUWGRsJ%2F-M8feIZnmBpueL16td3r%2FCapture.PNG?alt=media\&token=96b0b5cc-70fd-4a2d-ac0d-b24a5993eca3)

## Language

The default language is **French**. Not everyone speak french. As of now, there are 2 languages : English (UK) and French (France).

* `setlang en` to set the bot language to english.
* `setlang fr` to set the bot language to baguette.

{% hint style="info" %}
You do not need Administrator permission.
{% endhint %}

## Moderation logs

Also known as modlogs, a log will be created in the channel whenever a new moderation action takes place. It can be any of the command under "Moderation" tab.

{% content-ref url="commands/commands-index" %}
[commands-index](https://boltcord.gitbook.io/bolt/commands/commands-index)
{% endcontent-ref %}

```
setmodlog [#channel]
```

## Prefix

Do you want to change the prefix of the bot? Do you have more than 1 bot using the default `b!` prefix? **Let's change it!**

Don't select a difficult prefix too, it must be simple and memorable.

```
setprefix [prefix]
```

## Rank announcement

Bolt announces the "You reached a new level!" text by default. If you don't want these messages, simply disable them. It will not disable the level system for your server, only the new level announcements.

Use `true` to enable them, `false`to disable them. *Easy, eh?*

```
setrankup [false/true]
```

## Welcome messages

Say hello to new users in an automated way. Say hello the Bolt way.

```
setwelcome [channel]
```

{% hint style="info" %}
If you have an action log set up, the member joins event will be logged in that channel.
{% endhint %}

Did you know Bolt can send random welcome messages? When a member joins, the bolt will say different things if you enable this feature.

```
setrandomwcm [true/false]
```
