Extra settings and commands to enhance your InHouseQueue experience
Once you've finished the initial setup, there are some settings we recommend to help you organize and improve your InHouses effectively. We recommend enabling at least a few of these settings. We hope you find this helpful!
Force IGN
If you're playing one of the preset game modes, we highly recommend enabling this feature. Once enabled, Players wonât be able to queue until they set their IGN using /ign. To turn this on, run /require_ign.
InHouseQueue integrates with the following player profile websites:
Players can enter their in-game name (or Steam ID) into the /ign command. This will generate profile links for all players at the start of each game, allowing for scouting and strategizing before gameplay begins.
This feature is perfect for servers with a competitive focus, as it helps players plan and adapt their strategies effectively.

Scheduling Queues
Having a set time for games makes queues more predictable. When players know games start at a specific time, like 6 PM, they can plan to be available.
If queue scheduling is enabled, players can only join queues during the times you set.

Restrict Roles
If your server focuses more on competitive play, you might want players to queue only for specific positions. This helps ensure higher game quality, as players stick to roles they are skilled in.
We leave it up to your creativity to decide how players assign themselves Discord roles that represent the positions they play. However, we recommend not allowing players to select ALL positions, as this defeats the purpose of Role restriction.
Once players have their assigned Discord roles, you can Restrict certain role buttons in the queue to only allow players with the corresponding named Discord role to join. For example:

Custom Lobby Information
You can use a command to provide important information for each game when it starts. This is great for giving instructions or reminding players of rules. For example, you might want to ban certain characters due to a bug or remind players that one person should create the game in the dedicated client and invite everyone.
You can add this information with /lobby add_info and remove it later with /lobby remove_info. From our experience we think this is a great feature to have enabled in the early days of using InHouseQueue. You may find that members will still need some guidance, this is a great way to provide that.

Show Player MMR
If you want to be transparent about players' current MMR ratings, you can enable it with /mmr show.
When enabled, the MMR of each player will be visible as soon as they join the queue.
MMR is meant to be a general guide to a player's skill level, not a tool for criticism. In competitive environments, some players may "dodge" queues by not accepting if they see a player with low MMR. This can create issues, but we provide solutions to handle such behavior.
For more details on how to punish toxic players, see the next feature Suspend Players from Queue.

Suspend players from queue
For every few good members there will be some bad members. Players who cause trouble sometimes just need a few hours to cool off. You can suspend a player from playing by running /queue suspend.

Voice Lobby/Waiting Rooms
InHouseQueue can automatically move players to their designated voice channels once a game starts. However, please note that Discord bots cannot move members who are not already in a voice channel.
This feature allows you to dedicate specific voice channels in your server as "Lobby" or "Waiting Room". Players waiting in these channels will automatically be moved to their team voice channels when a game begins.
To enable this feature, use the /voice set command. If you want to disable it later, use /voice unset. You can set up multiple Waiting Rooms by running /voice set again as required.

Default Settings
InHouseQueue offers many customizable settings that can be turned on or off, such as creating voice channels or muting spectators. You can see the available settings by using the /defaults command or visiting this page for the full list.
