Quick Start
Getting Started with PluralBuddy
Hello, and welcome to PluralBuddy! This page will show you how to get started with PluralBuddy.
Setting up a system
First, you need to setup a system with the following command:
pb;setupThat command will guide you through importing, or creating a new system on PluralBuddy.
Creating a new alter
Second, you need to create an alter to use in PluralBuddy.
pb;system create-alter solar 🌻 Solar Naming Conventions
Alters are similar to "members" on PluralKit, or "tuppers" on Tupperbox.
Alter Usernames
Notice how alters have usernames, and display names as well. Unlike other plural bots, alters are identified by their username with no spaces or special characters, and not a randomly generated ID.
This avoids common problems with requiring spaces in alter names when using their relevant commands.
Proxy as an alter
Alters have two different ways of expressing "proxying" on PluralBuddy:
- By changing the nickname of the user depending on the alter proxying
- By sending a webhook with the name and avatar of the alter proxying, which is more traditional in bots like PluralKit
Setting the nickname of an alter as the primary and only way to show an alter currently proxying may not be the best decision due to how past messages will be unidentifiable due to how when your nickname changes it changes on all messages.
You can set the current proxying mode on an alter by using corresponding alter commands.
pb;edit-alter proxy-mode solar webhook
pb;edit-alter proxy-mode solar nickname
pb;edit-alter proxy-mode solar bothYou can also set proxy tags, which are ways to specify based on a messages content when a certain alter is supposed to be proxying. For example, you can use a proxy tag like text -solar, which means any text with -solar at the end will be proxying under that alter. This also works the same way for suffixes.
pb;edit-alter add-proxy-tags solarSet a banner and avatar
When proxying as an alter, you can also have an avatar that appears in the webhook when a message is sent. You can also have a banner that appears in the profile of your alter.

All attachments for alters and systems must be under a megabyte (1mb) if you upload an attachment. Anything put as a link has an unlimited storage limit.
Attachments
You can also just upload the picture that you'd like to use in the message of the command when using avatar or banner commands.
