Frequently Asked Questions

ScriptVault is a Discord bot that gives each server its own private, searchable GPC script library. Instead of managing scripts through chaotic channels and pinned messages, server owners get a structured upload system, smart search, an approval workflow, staff roles, reports, analytics, and bulk library management tools — all directly inside Discord.

ScriptVault is currently in Controlled Public Alpha. Alpha access is available to a limited number of trusted server owners by invitation. It is not yet open to all servers. You can apply for alpha access through the ScriptVault Hub.

No. ScriptVault is a separate, independent project. It has no connection to SawBot and does not require SawBot to function.

No. ScriptVault is a library management bot. It does not integrate with any Cronus Marketplace or external script platform.

No. All data in ScriptVault is scoped to your guild. Scripts uploaded to your server are never visible to members of any other server.

No. Each server has its own completely separate library. There is no shared global database and no way for scripts to cross server boundaries.

Yes. Uploaded .gpc files are stored on the bot's host server in a folder scoped to your guild. Cloud storage migration is on the roadmap for a future release. Files can be exported via /library export (metadata only) at any time.

That depends on your server's configuration. By default, uploads require Administrator permission. You can configure three modes: Admin only (only Administrators can upload), Trusted role (members with the Upload Manager role can upload directly), or Pending review (anyone can submit, but uploads queue for staff approval before going live).

Yes. Set your upload approval mode to pending review via /library config. All uploads will be queued for review before they appear in search results. Library Managers or admins can approve or reject from the pending queue.

Yes. Use /library config upload_manager_role to assign a role whose members can upload scripts and have them go live without waiting for approval.

Yes. Use /library config library_manager_role to assign a role whose members can manage the library — including approvals, rejections, analytics, reports, and library configuration.

Yes. /script admin bulk-import lets you upload multiple .gpc files at once. The number of files per import depends on your plan: Free: up to 10 files; Pro Server: up to 50 files; Creator Server: up to 100 files. A dry-run mode is available to preview what would be imported before saving.

Yes. ScriptVault computes a SHA-256 hash of each uploaded file and detects exact duplicates — the same file uploaded twice will be rejected with a reference to the existing script. Normalized duplicate detection (same script with minor whitespace differences) flags the upload without blocking it.

/library export produces a JSON file containing metadata for all scripts in your library — titles, games, features, download counts, approval status, and more. It does not include file contents or any sensitive data.

Yes. ScriptVault has three tiers: Free, Pro Server, and Creator Server. Paid tiers are purchased through Discord's native premium marketplace — no external billing or third-party accounts required. During alpha, paid tier purchasing is not yet fully active.

Pro Server expands your library to 5,000 scripts and 500 MB of storage with a 1 MB max file size. It also includes advanced analytics, trending notifications, bulk import of up to 50 files, and bulk actions on up to 100 scripts.

Creator Server expands your library to 20,000 scripts and 2 GB of storage with a 2 MB max file size. It includes all Pro features plus the creator tools foundation — featuring scripts, changelogs, version history, and scheduled releases as they roll out.

Three add-ons are planned: Library Expansion (+5,000 scripts, +500 MB), Publisher Tools (featured scripts, changelogs, scheduled releases), and Backup Pack (scheduled exports and restore points). The infrastructure is built but add-ons are not yet actively sold.

No. Disaster Recovery is disabled by default and is not part of any current plan. Basic metadata export is available via /library export. Scheduled backups and restore points are planned for the Backup Pack add-on.

For most GPC communities, yes. ScriptVault handles organized uploads, search, approvals, reports, analytics, favorites, collections, and download history — all the things a script channel cannot do. Some communities may keep a pinned summary channel alongside ScriptVault for announcements.

Apply through the ScriptVault Hub Discord server. Alpha access is invite-only and limited to a small number of trusted servers.

ScriptVault is designed for legitimate, community-owned GPC script libraries. It is not intended for and does not support distributing scripts that violate game terms of service or applicable laws, cross-server script sharing or a global script marketplace, replacing paid software with unauthorized copies, or storing content that is harmful, illegal, or unauthorized. Server owners are responsible for the content of their libraries.
