TempVoice (Red-DiscordBot Cog)

Join-to-create temporary voice channels for Red-DiscordBot.

Features

  • Per-guild configuration (no hardcoded global channel IDs)
  • Auto-create temporary voice channel when user joins a configured start channel
  • Auto-move user to their own temporary channel
  • Reuse existing temporary channel for the same owner if it still exists
  • Auto-delete temporary channel when it becomes empty
  • Owner command to set channel user limit (0-99)
  • Admin commands for setup and cleanup
  • i18n-ready runtime messages (English + Polish translation file)

Requirements

  • Red-DiscordBot >= 3.5.0
  • Python >= 3.8

Install

  1. Put this cog folder in your custom cogs path.
  2. In Discord:
[p]load tempvoice

Initial Setup (per server)

Use these commands on each guild:

[p]tempvoice setstart <voice_channel>
[p]tempvoice setcategory <category>

Check settings:

[p]tempvoice settings

Commands

Admin (manage_guild or admin)

  • [p]tempvoice settings - show config and current state
  • [p]tempvoice setstart <voice_channel> - set join-to-create channel
  • [p]tempvoice setcategory <category> - set target category for temp channels
  • [p]tempvoice cleanup - remove stale mappings and delete empty temp channels

User (channel owner)

  • [p]tempvoice setlimit <0-99> - set user limit on your own temp channel
  • [p]setlimit <0-99> - hidden backward-compatible alias

How It Works

  1. User joins the configured start voice channel.
  2. Cog creates (or reuses) an owner-mapped temporary voice channel in configured category.
  3. User is moved to that channel.
  4. When temporary channel is empty, it is deleted automatically.

Data Stored

Per guild:

  • start_channel_id
  • target_category_id
  • channel_owners (mapping: temporary channel ID -> owner user ID)
  • schema_version

Localization

  • Runtime messages are localized via Red i18n.
  • Included translation file: locales/pl-PL.po.
  • Fallback language is English.

Troubleshooting

  • If setup commands succeed but still print command errors, check bot logs and reload cog:
[p]reload tempvoice
  • Ensure bot has:

    • Guild permission: Move Members
    • Category/channel permissions: View Channel, Connect, Manage Channels
  • If state looks inconsistent:

[p]tempvoice cleanup
