Dj Blue Command Reference

This is a list of commands that can be used to control Dj Blue.

Commands can be entered via the Discord bot, if commands are enabled, or via the command-line on the computer running Dj Blue.

Certain commands are only available via Discord or the command-line, but most of them work on either. Please refer to the table below for more info.

Discord Bot

For the Discord bot, the bot must have commands enabled via either of the two settings in the "Enable Commands" section of the Discord bot settings.

Commands are executed as !pause or !volume 40, with the prefix (!) being customizable via the "Command Prefix" setting in the Discord bot settings.

Responses to the commands (indicating if they were successful or an error occurred) takes place in the same Discord text channel where the command was executed. These responses can be either turned off entirely or set to only write responses if an error occurs, via the "Respond to Commands" setting in the Discord bot settings.

Command-Line

Command-line commands can be entered by using Windows's Command Prompt, working on the folder that Dj Blue is installed onto (or, if Dj Blue is included in the PATH variable, anywhere on your computer).

Commands are executed as djblue pause or djblue volume 40. Using DjBlue.exe in place of djblue works as well.

These commands work by executing a second instance of Dj Blue with the command, this second instance transfers the command to the existing instance, and the existing instance executes it. If Dj Blue is not already running, the first command will simply start Dj Blue and no command-processing occurs. This can be determined if the program doesn't exit within a few seconds.

Responses to the commands (indicating if they were successful or an error occurred) takes place in the Output Log window in Dj Blue. Nothing is output to the console itself.
