Setup Guide

Get your Nova Delivery system online.

Two short walkthroughs: create your Discord bot application, and set up your Firebase Realtime Database. Once done, send me your token and database URL — I'll handle the rest.

Part One

Discord Bot Application

You'll create a Discord Application, grab its token, and install it to your account.

Open the Discord Developer Portal

Go to discord.com/developers/applications and log in with your Discord account.

Click the New Application button in the top-right.

Name your application

Give it any name you like — this is what people will see (e.g. Nova Delivery). Accept the terms and click Create.

Tip You can upload an icon under the General Information tab after the application is created.

Go to the Bot tab

In the left sidebar, click Bot. You'll see your bot's profile page with its username and avatar.

Enable Privileged Gateway Intents

Scroll down on the Bot page to the Privileged Gateway Intents section. Enable all three toggles:

✓ Presence Intent ON
✓ Server Members Intent ON
✓ Message Content Intent ON

Click Save Changes at the bottom of the page.

Reset and copy your token

At the top of the Bot page, find the Token section and click Reset Token. Confirm with your password or 2FA.

A new token will appear. Click Copy and save it somewhere safe — you'll only see it once.

Critical Never share this token publicly. Treat it like a password. If it leaks, just reset it again from the same page.

Configure Installation settings

In the left sidebar, click Installation. Under Installation Contexts, enable both options:

✓ User Install ON
✓ Guild Install ON

Under Install Link, select Discord Provided Link.

Under Default Install Settings → User Install, add the scope:

applications.commands

Under Default Install Settings → Guild Install, add these scopes:

applications.commands
bot

For Guild Install permissions, add: Send Messages, Embed Links, and Read Message History.

Click Save Changes.

Install the bot

Still on the Installation page, copy the Install Link at the top.

Open that link in a new tab. You'll see an installation prompt — you can install the bot to:

Your Discord account — slash commands work in any DM or server you're in
A server you manage — the bot gets added as a member

Pick whichever fits. Installing to your account is the fastest way to get going.

Send me the token

DM me (@nova) the bot token you copied in step 5. I'll plug it into the backend and deploy your bot.

Heads up Also send me your Firebase URL from Part Two — I need both to wire everything together.

And then

Part Two

Firebase Realtime Database

Firebase is Google's free real-time database. It connects your Discord bot to the Roblox bot instantly. The free tier is more than enough.

Create a Firebase account

Go to firebase.google.com and click Get started. Sign in with your Google account.

Create a new project

Click Create a project (or Add project if you already have one). Give it a name like nova-delivery-yourname.

When asked about Google Analytics, turn it off — you don't need it. Click Create project and wait a moment for it to initialize.

Enable Realtime Database

In your new project dashboard, open the left sidebar and click Build → Realtime Database.

Click Create Database. A setup dialog will appear:

✓ Location: europe-west1 Belgium
✓ Security rules: Start in test mode Test

Click Enable to finish.

Note Test mode makes the database temporarily open. You'll lock it down in step 5.

Copy your database URL

Once the database is created, you'll see a URL at the top of the page. It looks like this:

Database URL

https://your-project-id-default-rtdb.europe-west1.firebasedatabase.app/

Save this URL — you'll send it to me along with the token.

Set security rules

Click the Rules tab at the top of the Realtime Database page. Replace whatever's there with this:

rules.json

{
  "rules": {
    ".read": "true",
    ".write": "true"
  }
}

Click Publish to save.

Why these rules? Your Firebase URL is private — only you and I will have it. Open rules are fine for this setup. The URL itself acts as your access key.

Send me the URL

DM me the database URL from step 4. Pair it with the Discord token from Part One — that's everything I need.

You'll be online within a few minutes after I receive both.
