Before You Start
- Linking a Discord server is optional, but you need to be an administrator of it. You also need a linked Discord server to import data.
- You can't create a new server while you're in more than 15 servers. If you've hit the limit, leave a server you no longer need or delete a testing server.
Create Your Server
Go to your Dashboard, click New, then click Server.
- Name Your Server
Enter a name of up to 100 characters. It needs at least one letter from the Latin alphabet.
- Link Your Discord Server
Choose your Discord server, or skip this for now. Only servers where you're an administrator are listed. If yours is missing, click refresh or reconnect Discord under the field.
- Choose Whether to Import
Choose whether to import logs and shifts from another service. Choosing Yes needs a linked Discord server and skips the plan step.
- Pick Your Plans
Click Continue, select the plans you want (see below), then click Create server.
A Discord server can only be linked to one server or department. If yours is already linked, run /unlink in that Discord server first.
If the Melonly bot isn't in your Discord server yet, you're sent to Discord to add it. You're then brought back and your server is created.
Choose a Plan
| Plan | Options | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Melonly Plus | Monthly, Annually or Lifetime | The infractions module, session announcements, customizable Discord messages, ER:LC-Discord voice channel server stats and automatic ER:LC shifts |
| Departments | 1, 6 or Unlimited Departments | Customizable rosters, shouts, an integrated permissions system and Melonly CAD |
| Free Forever | None | The real-time Mod Panel, the Discord bot and basic ER:LC features |
Click a plan to select it. You can pick Melonly Plus and Departments together, but only with monthly Melonly Plus. Annual and Lifetime Melonly Plus can't be bundled with monthly plans.
If you pick a paid plan, you go to checkout after the server is created. If you don't, you're asked to choose Start 7-day free trial or Stay on free plan before your server is created. You can always add a subscription later. See Managing Subscriptions.
After Creating
You land on your new server's dashboard. If you chose to import, you continue from there. See Import Your Data.
Here's what to set up next:
- Go through your server settings.
- Create roles for your staff.
- Set up the Discord integration and the ER:LC integration.
- Share your join link from Member Requests so your staff can join.
