🇪🇸 Resumen: respuestas cortas a las preguntas más frecuentes sobre dinero, tokens, música y privacidad.
Is the money real? No. Chorizos are play money with no value, and nothing in BotDealer can be exchanged for anything real.
Can I rename the currency? Yes. In the setup wizard, or later under Servers for a specific server.
How do members get money?
They receive the starting balance the first time they use the bot, they can claim a
periodic reward with /chorizos daily, and managers can grant or remove money. Every
movement is recorded in the ledger.
Where is my Discord token? In your operating system keychain (Windows Credential Manager, macOS Keychain, or the freedesktop Secret Service). If no keychain is available, in an AES-256-GCM encrypted file inside your data folder. Never in the database, never in a log, never in the repository. See SECURITY.md.
Can I see the token again? Only its last four characters, to identify which one is stored. That is intentional.
Does the bot work in several servers at once? Yes. Each server has its own wallets, events and settings, and the bot handles them independently. Music and speech are per server too.
Do I need to install anything else?
No. The installers bundle their own Java runtime, the music engines and the speech voices.
The portable .jar is the only build that needs Java on the machine.
Does the desktop app have to stay open? Yes: the app is the bot. Closing it disconnects the bot from Discord.
Can several people manage events? Yes. Anyone with Manage Server, Administrator, the server owner, or the configured admin role.
What happens if nobody bet on the winning option? Every stake is refunded instead of the pot disappearing.
Can I change the odds after people have bet? Fixed odds are frozen per bet: editing an option later cannot change what an existing bet is worth.
Why is the installer so large?
Because nothing is downloaded behind your back: the Java runtime, three speech voices
(~208 MB) and the music engines (~120 MB) are all inside. -Dskip.assets=true builds a
much smaller installer that fetches the engines and voices on first use.
Does it work offline? The app, the economy and offline speech work without internet. Discord and YouTube obviously do not.
Is my text sent anywhere? Speech is synthesized locally; nothing leaves your machine. The only outbound traffic is to Discord, YouTube, and — when you ask for it — voice downloads and engine updates.
Which platforms are supported? Windows and Linux (x86-64 and arm64). macOS is not built or tested, although the libraries support it.
Can I use it with a bot account I already have? Yes. Paste any bot token; the app validates it before storing it.
The bot does not respond. Where do I look?
The status bar, then <dataDir>/logs/botdealer.log, then
TROUBLESHOOTING.md.
