# Discord Developer Portal Setup for AeThex Activity
## Quick Overview
This guide walks you through configuring your Discord app for Activities support. Your app ID is: **578971245454950421**
---
## Part 1: Enable Activities Feature
### Step 1.1: Open Discord Developer Portal
1. Go to: https://discord.com/developers/applications
2. Find and click **"AeThex"** app in your applications list
3. You should be on the **General Information** tab
### Step 1.2: Locate and Enable Activities
1. Scroll down on the **General Information** tab
2. Look for **"Activity Settings"** section
3. If you see "Enable Activities" button:
- Click to enable it
- You'll see the Activity configuration form appear
4. If Activities is already shown, proceed to Step 2
### Step 1.3: Initial Configuration
In the Activity Settings section, you'll see these fields:
**Activity URL:**
```
https://aethex.dev/activity
```
_(Copy and paste exactly)_
**Interactions Endpoint URL:**
```
https://aethex.dev/api/discord/interactions
```
_(Copy and paste exactly)_
**Click "Save"** and wait 1-2 minutes for Discord to verify
---
## Part 2: Configure Interactions Endpoint
### Step 2.1: Wait for Discord Verification
After you save in Step 1.3, Discord will automatically send a test request to your Interactions Endpoint.
**Expected result:** Green checkmark appears next to the Interactions Endpoint URL
**If you see an error:**
1. Wait 30 seconds
2. Click "Save" again
3. Discord will retry the verification
### Step 2.2: What Discord is Testing
Discord sends a PING request like this:
```
POST https://aethex.dev/api/discord/interactions
Content-Type: application/json
X-Signature-Ed25519: <signature>
X-Signature-Timestamp: <timestamp>
{
"type": 1,
"application_id": "578971245454950421"
}
```
Your server should respond with:
```json
{
"type": 1
}
```
This is already implemented in your `code/server/index.ts` file (lines 57-60).
---
## Part 3: OAuth2 Configuration
### Step 3.1: Go to OAuth2 Settings
1. Click **"OAuth2"** in the left sidebar
2. Click **"General"** sub-tab
### Step 3.2: Verify Client Credentials
You should see:
**Client ID:**
```
578971245454950421
```
**Client Secret:**
```
JKlilGzcTWgfmt2wEqiHO8wpCel5VEji
```
If the Client Secret is hidden, click "Reset Secret" (you'll need to update your environment variables after this).
### Step 3.3: Add Redirect URIs
1. Scroll to **"Redirects"** section
2. Add these redirect URIs:
- `https://aethex.dev/callback`
- `https://aethex.dev/discord-verify`
- `https://aethex.dev/roblox-callback`
3. Click **"Save Changes"**
### Step 3.4: Configure Scopes
1. Click **"Scopes"** sub-tab in OAuth2 section
2. For Activities, select at minimum:
-`identify` (read user profile info)
-`guilds` (read user's guilds)
3. For optional features, you might also want:
- `email` (read user's email)
- `connections` (read user's connected accounts)
---
## Part 4: Bot Configuration
### Step 4.1: Go to Bot Settings
1. Click **"Bot"** in the left sidebar
2. Look for **"TOKEN"** section
3. Copy your bot token (it will be a long string starting with your app ID)
4. **⚠️ NEVER share or commit your bot token to git or documentation**
### Step 4.2: Verify Public Key
1. In the same Bot section, look for **"PUBLIC KEY"**
2. Copy it (it's a 64-character hex string)
3. **⚠️ NEVER share or commit your public key to public documentation**
### Step 4.3: Ensure Bot Has Required Permissions
1. Scroll to **"Token Permissions"** or **"Scopes"**
2. Make sure bot has:
-`applications.commands` (for slash commands)
-`bot` (for general bot functionality)
---
## Part 5: Environment Variables
### Step 5.1: Verify Environment Variables on Your Hosting Platform
If you're using **Vercel**, **Railway**, or another hosting platform:
1. Go to your project settings
2. Under "Environment Variables", ensure these are set:
```
DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN=<your_bot_token_from_discord_portal>
DISCORD_CLIENT_ID=578971245454950421
DISCORD_CLIENT_SECRET=<your_client_secret_from_discord_portal>
DISCORD_PUBLIC_KEY=<your_public_key_from_discord_portal>
VITE_DISCORD_CLIENT_ID=578971245454950421
```
**⚠️ CRITICAL SECURITY: Never commit these secrets to git or upload to documentation!**
- Get `DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN` from Discord Developer Portal > Bot section
- Get `DISCORD_CLIENT_SECRET` from OAuth2 > General section
- Get `DISCORD_PUBLIC_KEY` from Bot section
- Only set these in your hosting platform's environment variables (Vercel, Railway, etc.)
**Do NOT commit these secrets to git!**

## Part 6: Test the Activity
### Step 6.1: Add Bot to Test Server
1. Go to **"OAuth2"** → **"URL Generator"** in your app settings
2. Under **"Scopes"**, select:
- `bot`
- `applications.commands`
3. Under **"Permissions"**, select:
- `Send Messages`
- `Read Messages`
4. Copy the generated URL and open it in your browser
5. Select a test Discord server to add the bot to
### Step 6.2: Launch the Activity
1. Go to your test Discord server
2. Right-click the bot's name (AeThex)
3. Select **"Apps"** → **"AeThex"** (or just "AeThex Activity")
4. The Activity modal should open
### Step 6.3: Debug
1. Open browser developer console: **F12**
2. Look for messages starting with `[Discord Activity]`
3. These logs will tell you exactly what's happening
**Expected log sequence:**
```
[Discord Activity] Initialization starting... {frameId: "...", isInDiscordActivity: true, ...}
[Discord Activity] Creating SDK with clientId: 578971245454950421
[Discord Activity] Waiting for SDK to be ready...
[Discord Activity] SDK is ready
[Discord Activity] Current user: exists
[Discord Activity] User already authenticated, fetching user data...
[Discord Activity] User data loaded successfully
```
