Discord webhook

gs_racing can post race announcements to a Discord channel via webhook when a lobby or official event goes live on the board.

Setup

Never put the webhook URL in shared/config.lua (that file is shared with clients).

-- shared/config.lua
Config.SendDiscordNotifications = true

-- server/edit.lua
Config.DiscordWebhook = 'https://discord.com/api/webhooks/...'

Both must be set:

Setting	Where	Role
`Config.SendDiscordNotifications`	`shared/config.lua`	Master on/off
`Config.DiscordWebhook`	`server/edit.lua`	Channel URL (`''` disables sending)

Create the webhook in Discord: Channel settings → Integrations → Webhooks → New Webhook → copy URL.

Treat the webhook URL like a password. Anyone with it can post to that channel.

What gets posted

Posts announce races that appear on the GS Racing board — player-hosted lobbies and system/auto events. Typical fields:

Track name
Mode (Sprint / Circuit / Drift) and laps when relevant
Vehicle class
Entry fee and prize pot
Start timing (open now, scheduled time, or countdown)

Example posts

Examples of how announcements look in Discord (username/avatar come from your webhook settings).
