hi tags! discordhelp is here with the sequel to our first tupperbox tutorial! tupperbox is a discord bot that allows you to create your own bot to use to send messages -- essentially making it look like you’re sending messages from a different discord account without having to go through the trouble of making and switching accounts all the time. it’s really handy for rp because it allows you to make as many bots as you want for all your characters!
this tutorial will walk you through how to create your own bots using tupperbox! tupperbox offers two different ways to register and edit bots, via discord & via their online dashboard -- this tutorial will walk you through how to do it using tupperbox’s online dashboard. to see how to do it directly on discord, check out our first tupper tutorial here!
if you have any questions about this tutorial, tupper as a whole, or anything else we do, feel free to shoot us an ask! please like or reblog this post if you found the tutorial helpful!
the first thing you’ll want to do is head on over to tupperbox’s website, which you can find right here at tupperbox.app.
click the login button in the upper right corner.
the site will ask for permission to hook up with your discord account. you’ll need to allow this in order for your bots to transfer over to your account. click authorize!
it’ll take you back to the homepage, but now you can see in the upper right corner it shows your user info instead of the login button. if you click your username, the menu will open -- click tuppers.
this will bring you to your dashboard! if you already have any tuppers registered, you’ll have a list of your bots in the middle there. as you can see, the bot we registered in our first tupper tutorial is already in there, and if you click on it it’ll show all the bot’s info on the right. but ignore that for now because we’re going to make a whole new bot instead!
click the little plus sign in the header bar, then click add tupper.
a page will come up with all the info you can enter for your new bot. i’ve highlighted all the relevant fields that we’ll be filling in for the purpose of this tutorial. (for simplicity’s sake, we’re filling in all the same fields we did in the other tupper tutorial.)
the big new-tupper up top will be your tupper’s real name. this is the name you can use to edit your bot over in discord if you ever need to. it’ll also serve as your bot’s display name if you don’t set an alternative one.
the following line is your tupper’s display name or nickname. this will override your tupper’s real name when sending messages and is for aesthetic purposes only. for more info on the differences between real names and nicknames please see our first tupper tutorial here.
the avatar url is where you can put a url for an image to use for your tupper’s icon. unfortunately you can’t upload an image directly to the tupper dashboard unless you subscribe to tupper on patreon, so you’ll need to upload your image to another site such as imgur or even discord and copy-paste the url into this field.
the brackets field is for, you guessed it, your brackets! this is the command you’ll use to trigger your bot over on discord. for new bots the brackets default to “new:” so here you can change them to whatever you’d like. your brackets can be literally anything, including symbols, emojis, etc. but the important thing to note is that in order to trigger your bot after registration, you need to type your brackets exactly as you did when you set it up. this includes making sure any capital letters and spaces are all in the right place.
below that is the birthday field, which should be fairly self-explanatory.
fields we’re skipping over in this tutorial are the group & description fields, but we have tutorials on both those functions planned for the future so stay tuned!
here’s how it looks with all our info for our new character filled in. once you’re done make sure to hit the save button in the lower right!
now head on over to discord itself.
type your brackets and a message in any server that tupper is present in, and...
Oi amores! Venho aqui a pedidos de um anon que me perguntou como se usava o tupperbox para se jogar rp no discord. Como sempre, eu me enrolei um pouquinho para explicar, mas espero que dê certo para vocês! E, se puderem dar um like ou um reblog aqui, eu agradeceria bastante (:
Antes de mais nada, o que é o tupperbox? Basicamente, é um bot do discord que tem várias funções e é particularmente útil para quem joga rp. Com ele, você vai poder responder suas interações como se estivesse em outra conta, com o nome do seu char e um icon correspondente. Ele não é uma ferramenta completamente necessária para se jogar no discord, mas ajuda a deixar mais organizado, ainda mais quando se está em um mumu ou em um rp de grupo.
Agora que já sabe o que é o tupperbox, você vai precisar adicionar ele ao servidor que irá usá-lo. Para isso, você vai precisar clicar nesse link (ou na fonte do conteúdo desse post) e clicar em invite. Abrirá, então, uma nova guia para que você selecione o servidor que quiser utilizá-lo. Pronto, o tupperbox já estará disponível para uso no lugar em que você escolheu.
Não sei como isso funciona em rps de grupo no discord, mas no 1x1 geralmente criamos um canal somente para os bots (acredito que seja apenas por uma questão de organização mesmo). Como eu mencionei antes, existem várias funções para o tupperbox, mas eu utilizo apenas dois comandos com ele: o tul!register e o tul!avatar
A primeira coisa que você vai precisar fazer é registrar o seu char no tupperbox. Para isso, você vai precisar escrever o seguinte: tul!register “nome do char” como você irá identificar o bot >text<
Como eu acho que vai ficar confuso se eu não explicar isso daí em negrito, vou exemplificar: quero criar o bot de uma personagem chamada anne smith, por exemplo. Vou entrar no meu servidor do discord e, no canal que eu criei para os bots, escreverei isso aqui tul!register “anne smith” anne >text< e darei enter. Então, toda vez que eu quiser responder alguma coisa com o bot da anne, eu vou escrever da seguinte forma anne >todo o texto que eu quiser, mesmo que seja algo longo<
Espero que tenha ficado claro até aí, porque agora vou passar para a parte do avatar. Qualquer coisa, podem me enviar uma mensagem que eu ajudo no que for preciso.
Para mudar o icon do seu bot, você irá precisar escrever o seguinte: tul!avatar “nome do char” url do icon escolhido e apertar enter. Prontinho, agora você já registrou o seu bot e já adicionou um icon a ele.
Essas são as únicas funções que eu, particularmente, uso para jogar no discord. É algo que só preciso fazer uma vez (por char) e acho que dá uma boa personalizada no seu rp. No entanto, eu mencionei que o tupperbox tem outras funções. Para vê-las, é preciso escrever tul!help que o bot colocará uma lista com todas. Depois que tiverem registrado o bot e colocado um icon, ele deverá estar assim:
Espero ter conseguido ajudar vocês de alguma forma! Qualquer coisa que precisarem, já sabem, só apareçam no meu chat ou na minha ask (:
hey everyone! discordhelp is back, this time with a tutorial on everyone’s favorite rp-related bot, tupperbox! tupperbox is a discord bot that allows you to create your own bot to use to send messages -- essentially making it look like you’re sending messages from a different discord account without having to go through the trouble of making and switching accounts all the time. it’s really handy for rp because it allows you to make as many bots as you want for all your characters!
this tutorial will walk you through how to create your own bots using tupperbox, and will also show off the very handy nickname and birthday functions! tupperbox offers two different ways to register and edit bots, via discord & via their online dashboard -- this tutorial will walk you through how to do it directly on discord. we have a second tutorial for how to use the online dashboard coming soon, so stay tuned!
if you have any questions about this tutorial, tupper as a whole, or anything else we do, feel free to shoot us an ask! please like or reblog this post if you found the tutorial helpful!
before using tupper, make sure you have the bot added to your server! as a note, you can also register and edit tuppers by dming the bot on discord if you don’t have a server to do it in!
now, let’s register our bot.
the green tul!register is the prompt that tells tupper what you’re trying to do (register a new bot).
the blue ‘jane doe’ is what your bot’s name will be. make sure to always put the name in quotes!
the pink jane: text is to set your brackets. this is the command you’ll use to trigger your bot in future messages. for registration purposes, the word “text” is representative of the message, and whatever comes before that (in this case, “jane: “) is the bracket itself. your brackets can be literally anything, including symbols, emojis, etc. but the important thing to note is that in order to trigger your bot after registration, you need to type your brackets exactly as you did when you set it up. this includes making sure any capital letters and spaces are all in the right place.
you can also attach an image to your message when registering, and that image will be set as your bot’s avatar. then once tupper sends you the confirmation back, you can test it out!
if you forgot to include an image for the avatar, or just want to change it to something else later on, the prompt is tul!avatar ‘tupper name’ -- note that as it says, if the message you sent with the image gets deleted, eventually your avatar will stop showing up and you’ll have to set it again.
the name looks kind of plain, though, and this is where the NICKNAME function comes in. if you’re at all familiar with discord, you probably already know the difference between usernames and nicknames -- your username is essentially the name of your account that others can use to look you up, and will show as your display name when first joining a server or in dms. however, in each server you join you can also set yourself a nickname, which will change how your name looks when sending messages in that individual server.
tupper nicknames are much the same. whatever name you register your bot with is its name, and that’s what you’ll use to edit your bot, change the avatar, turn auto on and off, etc. it will also serve as its display name unless you set a nickname for it. the nickname is for aesthetic purposes only, and is what will show as your bot’s name when sending a message. this is useful because you can keep your bot’s real name relatively simple to make it easier when you want to perform any of the aforementioned functions without having to copy & paste a bunch of symbols and unicode fonts every single time, but also still have the display name look nice when sending a message. it also allows you to have multiple bots with the same display name, which can be handy if you have more than one bot for the same character!
the green tul!nick is the prompt that tells tupper what you’re trying to do (set or change your bot’s nickname).
the blue ‘jane doe’ is the bot’s real name -- make sure it’s in quotes, and exactly matches the name of whatever bot you’re trying to edit!
the pink '* · ˚ 𝒋𝒂𝒏𝒆 𝒅𝒐𝒆 .' is the nickname i’m setting. this is what will now show up when i send messages with the bot instead of the bot’s real name. this should also be in quotes!
one way to see the nickname function in action is to now set up one of my other favorite little features, the BIRTHDAY function! this isn’t the most useful feature but it allows you to set your character’s birthday, and on their birthday tupper will put a little cake emoji along with their display name and it’s very cute.
the green tul!birthday is the prompt that tells tupper what you’re trying to do (set or change your bot’s birthday).
the blue ‘jane doe’ is the bot’s real name -- NOT the nickname. as you can see, with a nickname set up i can just type the name to edit the bot without having to copy & paste all the symbols and stuff which makes life a lot easier.
the pink 1/8/1999 is the date i want to set as my bot’s birthday. make sure to always put the month before the day (sorry non-american friends, take it up with tupper not me). also, the dates are stored in tupper in the UTC timezone, so when the cake emoji appears might not match up with your own timezone, but it’s still a neat little thing to have.
hi everyone! today we’re here to give you a tutorial on how to set up one of my favorite lesser known tupperbox features. have you ever been in the middle of an rp and suddenly tupper stops working and everyone’s left wondering what happened and when it will be back? well no more of that! you may have known that you can join tupper’s support server to check it out yourself, but there’s also a way you can add those announcements to your own server, so you never have to step foot in the support server at all after the initial setup. this is particularly helpful if you’re admining a group and you want to keep your members informed without having to check & relay the info yourself!
below the cut you’ll find instructions on how to set this up, as well as how to turn it back off.
please like & reblog this post if you found it useful, and our inbox is always open if you have any questions about this tutorial or anything else we make!
first things first, you’ll have to join tupper’s support server, which you can do right here. please note you can only add the announcements to servers you have admin permissions in. also, i’m not sure if the announcements will still show up if you leave the support server after turning them on as i haven’t been able to test this for myself, so i’d recommend just muting the whole entire server and moving it to the bottom of your servers list.
once you’re in the server, head on over into the #announcements channel.
you may notice that at the bottom of the channel, where there’d usually be the field where you write & send messages, there’s this bar there instead. click the follow button!
choose what server and what channel within that server you want the announcement messages to send in. i usually set it up to send in the same channel made for members to set up their own bots.
if you head over to the server & channel you picked, you should see this confirmation message.
and that’s it! whenever tupper support staff makes an important announcement in the support server, it’ll show up in your own server like this.
please note that there’s usually a slight delay between when the message is sent in the support server and when it reaches any other outlying servers, so sometimes you might get a message like this after tupper’s already back up if the downtime is expected to be short.
now let’s look at how to turn it off! first things first, go into your server settings. on the left you’ll see the category for integrations. when you go in there, one of the options is for channels you have followed. click that!
in there you can do a few things, including change what channel of your server the announcements are sent to, and unfollow the channel. (in making this tutorial i learned that in here you can also change the icon and display name that shows up in your server when the announcement messages are sent, so... do with that what you will.)
