Novus Production Manual v2.7

Advanced Command Guide

Novus is more than a scheduler—it's an automation suite for elite gaming communities. Explore how `/scheduler post` stores UTC times and automates the rest.

Smart Time Logic

Enter event times in UTC (24-hour format). Novus stores Unix timestamps and displays them in each user's local time using Discord timestamps.

// Example Input Sequence

User: "tomorrow 21:30"

Engine: Parses UTC input -> Unix Stamp

Result: Displays using Discord timestamps in each user's local time.

Dynamic Asset Creation

When the temp_channels Pro feature is enabled, Novus auto-creates voice and text lobbies. You can manually name these within the modal description.

Line 1: #scrim-chat (Chat Name Override)
Line 2: 🔊 Practice Voice (Voice Name Override)
Line 3: Actual event details start here...

Step-by-step logic for the Novus interaction flows.

Scheduling Flow

1
Slash Command

Run /scheduler post to open the scheduling modal (optionally prefilled with a template).

2
The Modal Pop-up

Fill in the event details. Enter the start time in UTC using `YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM` (24-hour). You can also use `tomorrow HH:MM`.

3
Active RSVP

The bot posts the card. Participants RSVP via buttons. Full sessions trigger the Waitlist logic.

Button Mechanics

Going

Roster Participation

Adds you to the lobby. Triggers automated reminders around 1 hour and 15 minutes before start.

Maybe

Observation Status

Flags interest without occupying a competitive slot. Ideal for reserves.

Leave

Auto-Bump Logic

Immediately promotes the first user on the Waitlist to "Going" and sends a DM.
