Setup checklist

A quick check that every part of FiveStaff is set up and working on your server, with what to do if a step is not.

On this page

Go through this once your server is set up. Each line says how to check it, and links to the page that sets it up.

The essentials#

  • The dashboard says Online. The status at the top of the panel is green and the Connection card shows your framework. If not, see install the resource.
  • Players appear. Join your server, then open Players. You should be at the top, marked On server.
  • Reports arrive. In game, type /report and send a test report about yourself. It appears under Reports within seconds.
  • Your team can sign in. Each member of staff has opened their invite link or been given a seat by role sync, and they appear under Settings → Team.
  • Your roles are right. Ask a member of staff to check they can see what they should, and nothing more.

Recommended#

  • Two-step verification is on for your account, and required for your team. See security.
  • Discord logs are going to your channels. Close your test report and check it was posted.
  • The appeal page says what you want it to. See the appeal page.
  • Templates are saved for your most common rule breaks, so staff do not type the same reason every time. See templates.
  • Your alerts are set, so you hear about new reports and appeals by email. See notifications.

When you are ready#

  • The player log is switched on, if you want a searchable record of money, items and vehicles. It is off until you turn it on. See player logs.
  • Your game database is connected, if you want to see and edit characters, money and vehicles. See connect your game database.
  • Who may join is set, if your server is allow list only or Discord members only. See who may join.
  • Old bans are imported from txAdmin, EasyAdmin or vMenu. See importing bans.
