Drops
The Drops module lays gifts in your channels on its own: nobody triggers them, the bot posts them at an unpredictable time, and members claim them by clicking.
Global settings tab
Section titled “Global settings tab”Shared settings
Section titled “Shared settings”The switch at the top of the block is the master one: turned off, no drop appears, whatever each type is set to.
| Setting | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Default channel | Used by drop types that have no channel of their own. |
| Mentioned role | Pinged on every drop. Leave empty to notify nobody. |
| Lifetime (minutes) | After that, an unclaimed drop closes. The Open to everyone mode has its own duration. |
| Message deletion | Never, or 5 min, 30 min, 1h, 6h or 24h after the drop ends, to keep the channel clear. The winners recap goes with the message, and the setting only applies to drops posted afterwards. |
Overview
Section titled “Overview”A table sums up the five configured types, with the Type, Status, Channel, Frequency and Active modes columns. A type is only Active when its own switch and the master one are on.
Recent drops
Section titled “Recent drops”The history shows what actually landed: Date, Type, Mode, Amount and Claimed (how many members clicked).
The five resources
Section titled “The five resources”Each type has its own tab, with its channel, frequency, amounts and modes.
| Tab | What drops |
|---|---|
| XP | Progression XP: counts towards levels and role rewards. |
| RPG XP | RPG module XP, independent from server levels. |
| Clan points | Points credited to the claimer’s clan. They show up tagged as Drop on the public page. |
| Coins | Economy currency, credited to the member’s balance. |
| RPG items | A game item drops in the channel and lands in the winner’s inventory. |
Kotbo warns you when a drop would have nobody to credit: Clans are disabled, The RPG is disabled, or The … module is disabled: the reward would still be credited, but members could not use it while it stays off.
Setting up a type
Section titled “Setting up a type”Channel and frequency
Section titled “Channel and frequency”- Channel for this type: leave it on Default channel to follow the global setting.
- Average interval (minutes): the average gap between two drops. The exact time is drawn between half and one and a half times this interval, so nobody can camp the channel. The page shows how many drops per day that represents.
Claim modes
Section titled “Claim modes”Enable one or several. On each drop the bot picks one at random among those enabled, using the reward range set for that mode.
| Mode | Effect |
|---|---|
| First to claim | A single winner: the first to click takes it all. |
| First N members | The first to click each receive the announced amount. The number of winners ranges from 2 to 50. |
| Open to everyone | Anyone can help themselves for the open duration given. |
Each mode has its own minimum reward and maximum reward: a click race can therefore pay far more than a drop left open to everyone for ten minutes.
RPG items tab
Section titled “RPG items tab”An item drop does not roll at random across the whole catalogue: you list explicitly what is allowed to fall.
- Up to 25 items in the list. With an empty list, no item drop is published.
- Every item carries a rate in percent, and the page requires the total to be exactly 100%. The Split evenly button shares the hundred points equally.
- Amounts in this tab are a number of copies (from 1 to 10), not points.
An item removed from the catalogue shows as Deleted item and stops being rolled, without the others losing their ratios to each other.
Saving
Section titled “Saving”Changes go through the save bar at the bottom of the screen. Kotbo confirms with Drops configuration saved.
