| `LogCompress` | boolean | Compress rotated log files with gzip |

**Log Format:**

- When `DevMode: true`: Console format (human-readable)
- When `DevMode: false`: JSON format (production)

**Log Analysis:**
Use the built-in log analyzer tool to analyze logs. See [Log Analysis Guide](../tools/loganalyzer/README.md) or [CLAUDE.md](../CLAUDE.md#log-analysis).

## Discord Integration

```json
{
  "Discord": {
    "Enabled": false,
    "BotToken": "",
    "RealtimeChannelID": ""
  }
}
```

Erupe includes an optional Discord bot that posts real-time server activity to a Discord channel.

| Setting | Type | Description |
|---------|------|-------------|
| `Enabled` | boolean | Enable Discord integration |
| `BotToken` | string | Discord bot token from Discord Developer Portal |
| `RealtimeChannelID` | string | Discord channel ID where activity messages will be posted |

### How Discord Integration Works

When enabled, the Discord bot:

1. **Connects on Server Startup**: The bot authenticates using the provided bot token
2. **Monitors Game Activity**: Listens for in-game chat messages and events
3. **Posts to Discord**: Sends formatted messages to the specified channel

**What Gets Posted:**

- Player chat messages (when sent to world/server chat)
- Player connection/disconnection events
- Quest completions
- Special event notifications

### Setup Instructions

1. **Create a Discord Bot:**
   - Go to [Discord Developer Portal](https://discord.com/developers/applications)
   - Create a new application
   - Go to the "Bot" section and create a bot
   - Copy the bot token

2. **Get Channel ID:**
   - Enable Developer Mode in Discord (User Settings → Advanced → Developer Mode)
   - Right-click the channel you want to use
   - Click "Copy ID"

3. **Add Bot to Server:**
   - Go to OAuth2 → URL Generator in the Developer Portal
   - Select scopes: `bot`
   - Select permissions: `Send Messages`, `Read Message History`
   - Use the generated URL to invite the bot to your server

4. **Configure Erupe:**

   ```json
   {
     "Discord": {
       "Enabled": true,
       "BotToken": "YOUR_BOT_TOKEN_HERE",
       "RealtimeChannelID": "YOUR_CHANNEL_ID_HERE"
     }
   }
   ```

**Implementation Details:**

- Bot code: [server/discordbot/discord_bot.go](../server/discordbot/discord_bot.go)
- Uses [discordgo](https://github.com/bwmarrin/discordgo) library
- Message normalization for Discord mentions and emojis
- Non-blocking message sending (errors are logged but don't crash the server)

## In-Game Commands

```json
{
  "Commands": [
    {
      "Name": "Rights",
      "Enabled": false,
      "Prefix": "!rights"
    },
    {
      "Name": "Raviente",
      "Enabled": true,
      "Prefix": "!ravi"
    },
    {
      "Name": "Teleport",
      "Enabled": false,
      "Prefix": "!tele"
    },
    {
      "Name": "Reload",
      "Enabled": true,
      "Prefix": "!reload"
    },
    {
      "Name": "KeyQuest",
      "Enabled": false,
      "Prefix": "!kqf"
    },
    {
      "Name": "Course",
      "Enabled": true,
      "Prefix": "!course"
    }
  ]
}
```

In-game chat commands allow players to perform various actions by typing commands in the chat.

### Available Commands

| Command | Prefix | Description | Usage |
|---------|--------|-------------|-------|
| **Rights** | `!rights` | Modify account rights/permissions | `!rights <number>` |
| **Raviente** | `!ravi` | Control Raviente event | `!ravi start`, `!ravi cm` (check multiplier) |
| **Teleport** | `!tele` | Teleport to locations | `!tele <location>` |
| **Reload** | `!reload` | Reload all players and objects in current stage | `!reload` |
| **KeyQuest** | `!kqf` | Get/set Key Quest flags | `!kqf get`, `!kqf set <hex>` |
| **Course** | `!course` | Enable/disable subscription courses | `!course <course_name>` |

### How Commands Work

1. **Player Types Command**: Player sends a chat message starting with the command prefix
2. **Command Parser**: Server checks if message matches any enabled command prefix
3. **Command Handler**: Executes the command logic
4. **Response**: Server sends feedback message to the player

**Implementation Details:**

- Commands are parsed in [handlers_cast_binary.go:90](../server/channelserver/handlers_cast_binary.go#L90)
- Command map is initialized from config on server startup
- Each command has its own handler function
- Disabled commands return a "command disabled" message

### Example Command Usage

**Reload Command:**

```text
Player types: !reload
Server: "Reloading all players and objects..."
Server: Removes all other players/objects from view
Server: Re-adds all players/objects with updated data
```

**Course Command:**

```text
Player types: !course premium
Server: "Premium Course enabled!"
Server: Updates player's account rights in database
Server: Updates player's rights in current session
```

**KeyQuest Command:**

```text
Player types: !kqf get
Server: "Your KQF is: 0123456789ABCDEF"

Player types: !kqf set 0000000000000000
Server: "KQF set successfully!"
```

### Security Considerations

- **Rights Command**: Can grant admin privileges - disable in production
- **KeyQuest Command**: Can unlock content - disable if not desired
- Commands are per-server configuration (can be different per channel server)
