I really hope this is the correct channel for this, if not please tell me where this should go instead 😅 Anyways, onto the question:
Has anyone messed around with the soundboard aka voice channel effects yet?
I'm curious as to how sending works (to play a full song), but god I hate reversing webpack. I was trying to find usages to a method with no results, and now I just found out that those methods are wrapped once again by webpack (checking #assets first would've made my life slightly easier).
This lead me to something, but this code confuses me even more 
(obfuscated method name with 4 args, which seems to do something useful, but I have no idea what to do with it)
However, I did find a VoiceChannelEffectsStore store, but unfortunately contains nothing useful to send an effect.
lime stone

is this a selfbot?
hmm
blissful temple
..no? In that case, "Emote Cloner" would be selfbotting too.
at least, I don't intend it to be. If it is classified as a selfbot, I'll just leave it and don't do it. Don't wanna risk a ban for that 🤷
limber skiff
Voice Channel Effects have nothing to do with the soundboard
and the soundboard is done server side
your client just sends a request to play

so you cant play custom stuff with it
I just have a server and added a lot of sounds to it, with this plugin I intend to play each of them sequentially at the correct time so it acts like a full song. So, really, I'm just trying to find the function that runs when you click on a sound to make it play.
limber skiff
ohh I see
blissful temple
I know it's a little stupid and I should use a system-wide soundboard for that, but I'm just doing it for fun since I'm bored 
blissful temple
Ah, I got them mixed up then, damn.
Oh, I get it now. Playing a sound effect using the soundboard uses voice channel effects "behind the scenes" (according to the api route and code that sends the request, that is)
austere talon

that's trivial
playLocal = Vencord.Webpack.findByCode(`type:"GUILD_SOUNDBOARD_SOUND_PLAY_LOCALLY"`)
playRemote = Vencord.Webpack.findByCode(`.SOUNDBOARD_PLAY`)
chanId = "1015931590741872713"
guildId = "1015931589865246730"
for (let sound of Vencord.Webpack.findByProps("getSounds").getSoundsForGuild(guildId)) {
await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 400));
sound = {

It does exactly what your client would do if you were to upload the file.
It's not iterating through every emote in a server and cloning it
lime stone

i mean your idea
Hmm, I'm not sure then. It just "clicks" on all of the soundboard sounds at the exact timing. Could argue that's the same as emote cloner then, since it's a legitimate action.

I think if you're making requests in a way not tied to any human-created event that's a selfbot technically?

blissful temple
i don't know if using an ahk script to auto send messages would be allowed, hmmm
So is an ahk script that right clicks to download an emoji and then uploads it to your server, also not allowed? Personally I don't see a difference between this and the emote cloner (both do a legit client action and with a bit of skill is humanly possible), but that's me

Even tho emote cloner does the same, I'll just leave it alone

there's a difference between 1 api request and api abuse
lime stone
it seems kind of selfbot-like though
sour drum
for example an actual discord bot sending a message every minute in a channel is also against discord tos unless it's for a good reason
lime stone
but... i feel like the moderators would've pointed something out by now because there's a no selfbot rule 🤷♀️
blissful temple
there's a difference between 1 api request and api abuse
There's like 50 emotes in a server tho, that's 50 API requests. The song I'm playing is split into 32 sounds, so that equals to 32 API requests. There's a 5s interval between them.
sour drum

It's 1 single request. It doesn't clone every emote

Redline or whatever dumdum tbh, I don't understand why you would have multiple official servers if you own the servers that they are ran on
sour drum
Official ≠ Verified
And they don't own the servers.
It's the same way that Rust does it
There are a total of 7 Official server hosts (each with 2 servers) so a total of 14 actual official servers

From my understanding, the servers in the official tab are ran by redline on their servers, and just have other people managing them

running Vencord.Webpack.findByCode("type:\"QUICKSWITCHER_SHOW\"")() opens it for me
sour drum
lime stone
aww i'm glad i could help
sour drum
it works
austere talon
but why
replugged has so little plugins
if anything, we'd add compatibility for BD, not replugged
but vencord functions entirely differently than these mods and compatibility for other mods' plugins would be an absolute nightmare both from code side and support side. if you really want to, just load both in parallel
sour drum
I wonder what Global Keybinds exist
charred monolithBOT
austere talon
..no? In that case, "Emote Cloner" would be selfbotting too.
there's a difference between sending dozens of requests with no user interaction and sending one single request when the user explicitly presses a button
in any case spamming soundboard is whatever, do it if u want but spam like that won't be accepted as vencord plugin
lime stone
...so it's not against tos?
blissful temple
there's a difference between sending dozens of requests with no user interaction...
Yeah that makes sense
I misunderstood what emote cloner did and thus thought it was fine, but it's not
austere talon
emote cloner clones one single emote when u right click and click clone, not all of them
blissful temple
Yeah xd
austere talon
...so it's not against tos?
it might or might not be but it hardly matters cause its such a small thing
id be lying if i said i didn't send all soundboard sounds once 
blissful temple
That explains where you got that snippet from then 
lime stone
it works <:catsitR:1108222809919979611>
I think there's normally a condition that needs to be false for it to run
sour drum

it's a hasLayers thingy

you can't normally do this

# Plugins Guide
Welcome to Megu's Plugin Guide! In this file, you will learn about how to write your own plugin!
You don't need to run `pnpm build` every time you make a change. Instead, use `pnpm watch` - this will auto-compile Vencord whenever you make a change. If using code patches (recommended), you will need to CTRL+R to load the changes.
## Plugin Entrypoint
> If it doesn't already exist, create a folder called `userplugins` in the `src` directory of this repo.
1. Create a folder in `src/userplugins/` with the name of your plugin. For example, `src/userplugins/epicPlugin/` - All of your plugin files will go here.
2. Create a file in that folder called `index.ts`
3. In `index.ts`, copy-paste the following template code:
```ts
import definePlugin from "@utils/types";

@austere talon learn how to escape backticks please
I think you are already doing smth about them, but it doesn't work
ok, @fleet depot if you surround the link with <>, it will not trigger the bot
burnt bough
do i have to reinstall vencord every time i want to make a plugin
quaint sapphire
timed out for a day for making a joke about merging <:xdd:974167784684671026><:x...
it wasn't a joke 😭, its the truth
quaint sapphire
do i have to reinstall vencord every time i want to make a plugin
uhh, define what reinstall means to you
quaint sapphire
you only inject once if that's the question
and you re-build it as many times as you want
burnt bough
how do i rebuild
quaint sapphire
pnpm build
fleet depot
ok, <@364536918362554368> if you surround the link with <>, it will not trigger ...
i just have to remember to use angle brackets i think
that's what i meant by angle brackets yeah
quaint sapphire
ooooh, I didn't know they had a proper name
I just call them less than and more than
fleet depot
you only `inject` once if that's the question
use pnpm --watch and all you need to do is reload and it'll show your changes
quaint sapphire
pnpm watch, dunno what pnpm --watch is
fleet depot
oh whoops
that's what i meant
right right
pnpm build --watch
that's what i was messing up
quaint sapphire
@burnt bough ok so, when you inject vencord, all it does is add some code that loads vencord from your dist folder
if you delete the dist folder, then discord will not open
or I dunno
never tried that
anyways
that means that whenever you build, you can reload discord and it will have the latest changes from ur code (if you built it that is)
hot-reloading is not a thing vencord has
fleet depot
only for css
fleet depot
yeah
austere talon
<@343383572805058560> learn how to escape backticks please
not my bot
quaint sapphire
huh
burnt bough
ok so is there any documentation
burnt bough
anywhere
quaint sapphire
proper documentation? no
burnt bough
look at plugin code
quaint sapphire
just look at other plugins
burnt bough
and just try to know what it means?
fleet depot
ask questions
quaint sapphire
and if you know regex, it should be easy to learn to patch
fleet depot
regex101 and regexpr are your friends
burnt bough
im not good with regex
quaint sapphire
well, if you don't require patches then thats fine
burnt bough
patches?
quaint sapphire
patches modify discord's code
using regex
we can do anything we want with them
burnt bough
are patches important
quaint sapphire
if you need to modify discord's code, then yes
plugins that use the existing APIs usually don't need patches
burnt bough
how many existing apis are there
quaint sapphire
like the MoreCommands plugin
quaint sapphire
how many existing apis are there
APIs are just plugins, they all have the prefix api
they are easy to find
well, thats just the core of the APIs
burnt bough
ok
austere talon
or state what exactly you're trying to do
quaint sapphire
you can intercept any message the user sends and edit it (or cancel the action)
you can intercept any message the user edits and edit it (or cancel the action)
you can add a button to the vencord toolbox
you can add items to the context menu
you can add commands like /lenny
you can add user badges
too many to say
just explore
burnt bough
ok
quaint sapphire
an API for keybinds is also pending to be reviewed and merged
burnt bough
how long will it take to be merged
quaint sapphire
that is not up to me
burnt bough
ok
quaint sapphire
besides all the APIs you can use a lot of discord's internals
one example is Party Mode https://github.com/Vendicated/Vencord/pull/1161
it doesn't use any patches and it is a proper plugin
jagged cloak
pretty sure that's intentional not an edge case
since definePlugin gives you plugin name description and authors
oh i didn't see the discussion
yeah you shouldn't need to do that but should be able to xd
quaint sapphire
yeah you shouldn't need to do that but should be able to xd
Well, sometimes you may want to access the plugin from places that this does not have ur plugin.
One example is within flux events, they are their own objects, so they don't have access to the plugin object.
One easy solution would be to first make a constant and then export it.
Another solution is to fucking use the global Vencord.Plugins.plugins["whatever"]
Or to have all ur state outside of the plugin.
Having all ur state outside of the plugin can be messy if the plugin is small enough imo
And using globals means that if you change the plugin name, you also have to change the global usage.
One solution to that is to make a constant for the plugin name but guess what?
Ven couldn't be arsed to check that as well, if it ain't a string literal then it says that it ain't valid.
jagged cloak
oh i see
quaint sapphire
So yeah, you either bypass the accidental restrictions ven made, or you abide by them and write code you don't like and/or is prone to breaking if you are not careful enough.
cunning bobcat
i was gonna make a comment about this and then i realised plugin. here is redundant since settings is not defined in the definePlugin()
damn you sleepy brain
quaint sapphire
@austere talon can you make flux events give the plugin instance?
You know
definePlugin({
flux: {
smth: (plugin, eventData) => {}
}
})
Cause the object flux is a different object instance technically, so this refers to it rather than the plugin.
Don't ask "why?" or "what do you want to do?", please
I don't even need to give an example
But if you want one, look at GxMod
It should be pretty obvious that it is annoying to not be able to access members of the plugin.
charred monolithBOT
cunning bobcat
i agree
austere talon
<@343383572805058560> can you make flux events give the plugin instance?
You kn...
i would just move the things outside of your plugin and use top level variables / functions instead
working with this in js is so painful
this is just js's fault

lament nimbus
turbid hatch
i thought i already rejected this idea because its not really much effort to build it yourself
i do not see the benefit of us making prebuilt images when we won't even use them
quaint sapphire
images for what?
docker?
@austere talon I am loading all the modules that have "svg" in them
should it be a setting?
also, I think 261 is the limit of how many icons there are
(keep in mind that I said icons and not assets)
quaint sapphire
Well, sometimes you may want to access the plugin from places that `this` does n...
oh yeah, another solution that I forgot to say and works well with ven's restrictions is what I do on GxMod
I first define the plugin
and then export it
actually nope
there is one more restriction
ffs
@austere talon come on man
plugins have to be reviewed either way, who is supposed to benefit from this?
fuck you
found the loophole
you are promoting cursed code with ur restrictions
charred monolithBOT
Adds a button to the User Context Menu for bots. This opens a link to invite the bot.
You can find this plugin here: https://github.com/A-Trash-Coder/Quick-Bot-Invite
charred monolithBOT
verbal pumice
only 1% can press (impossible challenge)
austere talon
what's the point of this
why do people not want to open their browser
it makes 0 difference
austere talon
plugins have to be reviewed either way, who is supposed to benefit from this?
that restriction isn't there to annoy you, it's so that your plugin is parseable by CI to auto generate https://vencord.dev/plugins.json
feel free to remove some restrictions by making https://github.com/vendicated/vencord/blob/main/scripts/generatePluginList.ts smarter
quaint sapphire
feel free to remove some restrictions by making <https://github.com/vendicated/v...
rn I'm making the companion smarter, well, im trying at least
ill make that smarter later
austere talon
it would also be useful to add plugin utilities to the companion
like a button to enable a plugin so you don't have to do it in client
lime stone
is there a way to open this?
austere talon
you want to open the invite modal?
charred monolithBOT
quaint sapphire
ayo
austere talon
yeah it's painful
PS: You forgot to add esbuild to your deps, lol
because i have esbuild installed globally lol
quaint sapphire
well I aint a madman like you
austere talon
what does ur code do exactly?
quaint sapphire
it uhh, checks if a node is a variable, if it is, it finds all the variable declarations (cause js allows const a = 1, b = 2;)
and if a variable declaration is an object literal that has the type PluginDef somewhere within it, it adds that object literal to a variable for it to be processed by ur original code
basically
const a: PluginDef = { patches: [] }
is now detected
(well, you have to add the other properties to satisfy the type)
const a: Partial<PluginDef> = { patches: [] }
is also detected
(on purpose)
austere talon
it's inside a loop over node.types so you would want to keep checking more types if the first type doesn't match, no?
i'm not fully sure how node.types works
austere talon
if (isTypeReferenceNode(type) && type.typeArguments) {
for (const typeArg of type.typeArguments) {
this is for generics?
like Foo<PluginDef>
quaint sapphire
yeah
austere talon
that can probably be removed
quaint sapphire
Partial<PluginDef> works bc of it
charred monolithBOT
quaint sapphire
sure
austere talon
we wouldn't want to add it to Record<string, PluginDef>
well i guess the further code wouldn't match that anyway but yeah
i guess there's no reason to restrict it
so just leave it nvm
god this code is so unreadable
not your fault, just typescript AST moment
charred monolithBOT
quaint sapphire
I think it's the LSP protocol that is like that
austere talon
thanks
this is pretty cool too https://github.com/Vencord/Companion/issues/1
also i wanna incorporate proper patch helper into the companion
like a modal that has inputs similar to patchhelper
and shows you the matches, diff, etc
charred monolithBOT
quaint sapphire
austere talon
it's because we have to bundle typescript
and it's so big
3.4mb minified size
vscode doesnt let u access typescript AST / its typescript module
so u gotta bundle ur own
quaint sapphire
what if it is fetched at runtime?
or just like with python linters, it requires the local package to be installed or smth
quaint sapphire
this is pretty cool too https://github.com/Vencord/Companion/issues/1
how would this work?
would we only allow it for exported methods in a PluginDef?
quaint sapphire
would be nice if pnpm watch or the companion restarted the discord client on build
austere talon
that would restart discord a looooot
why not just press ctrl r manually
i wouldnt mind integrating it somehow but not on pnpm watch
quaint sapphire
maybe yarn build --restart
quaint sapphire
why not just press ctrl r manually
after the 20th time within an hour it gets tiring
austere talon
maybe `yarn build --restart`
not really doable
however could be integrated into companion
we could add buttons in this bar
when you press the build button it builds and restarts connected clients
austere talon
what
how are we gonna make reloads faster
use vencord desktop & an alt account with little guilds for faster reload
charred monolithBOT
charred monolithBOT
austere talon
its 200mb
quaint sapphire
That's actually a lot
I only have 7 gigs free on my SSD
Are you a gamer?
Or are you running neural networks on ur PC?
Cause if not, then it's a lot
gentle spruce
for some reason i get worried when my disk usage hits 50%, so i clean up everything i dont need anymore
i really don't have a reason to worry
quaint sapphire
I only clean up when it reaches 500 mb free
lime stone
you want to open the invite modal?
yep
seems it's quite complicated
discord user gone too
charred monolithBOT
glass cedar
80 gigs is loads
Vencord desctop is only like 200mb iirc
So like
U have loads left
How
charred monolithBOT
glass cedar
How can we magically make it reload faster
Lmfao
?
Just install openasar then
Its an option in vencord installer
charred monolithBOT
austere talon
yep
its desktop only
but as an alternative, you could embed this card 👇
https://discord.gg/vencord
if that's close enough
lime stone
its desktop only
i mean getting it to appear as part of a plugin
i realise the web version of discord wouldn't be able to have the server
basically i'm trying to make it appear when you click on an invite link in someone's bio!
discord removed the thing which allowed you to join within the app too
it had no confirmation tbf
austere talon
opening that modal is pretty easy iirc
just a flux dispatch
but desktop only like i said
lime stone
but desktop only like i said
in what sense?
is there a widget that's available not on desktop?
I feel like i could try recreating the dialog...
austere talon
return sr.Z.resolveInvite(n, "Game SDK").then((function(e) {
var t = e.invite
, n = e.code;
if (null == t)
throw new Ka.Z(M.lTL.INVALID_INVITE,"Invalid invite id: ".concat(n));
var o = (0,
eu.s0)(r)
, i = o.context
, a = o.lock;
return new Promise((function(e) {
v.Z.dispatch({
type: "INVITE_MODAL_OPEN",
invite: t,
code: n,
context: i,
resolve: e
})
}
)).then(a)
}
))
the entire modal is desktop only
lime stone
the entire modal is desktop only
ah, so it's in a desktop-only module or something?
austere talon
```js
return sr.Z.resolveInvite(n, "Game SDK").then((function(e) {
...
just this
quaint sapphire
but desktop only like i said
Huh, that's surprising
Ig the web version does not use a modal but an entirely different app
lime stone
Ig the web version does not use a modal but an entirely different app
well you can still join servers without the app
but yes

Imagine if it is a scammer trying to token log people by installing custom vencord builds
For all purposes this was a joke
But for real many scammers upload their tools on github
Claiming it's for "educational" purposes
Like, even if it was for educational purposes, you are enabling others to scam people
I've seen many password stealer scripts that are for "educational" purposes
Like getting all the cookies and detect crypto wallets
Nah I did not kill these people Mr officer, I merely pulled the trigger for educational purposes.

poor gnome
gentle spruce
poor gnome
gnome on fedora sucks donkey ass
honestly
it looks good, but that's it
lime stone
it looks good, but that's it
hm whats bad?
gentle spruce
app indicators are gone, the "official" extension adding them back is broken
weird visual bugs that don't appear on any other gnome version
- wayland windows are sometimes blurry for no apparent reason
- x11 title bars don't scale with the rest of the display, being mega small for me
etc
with "app indicators are gone", i mean GONE
there is no official support for them anymore
they are straight up removed
gentle spruce
but useful
i don't want to guess if toolbox is still running in the background, i want to kill it when im done
lime stone
why do you want it to run in the background though?
gentle spruce
i don't
that's why i need the app indicators
i want to close it entirely when im done
there is no option to not make it run in the background
lime stone
oh, well i think that's the issue with the software
gentle spruce
the app indicator it used at least let me close it entirely
but that broke on gnome 40
lime stone
usually you need app indicators if an app stays running, but apps which do that are quite annoying with app indicators too
but tbf without app indicators you probably have to manually kill them :p
gentle spruce
but tbf without app indicators you probably have to manually kill them :p
exactly
i dont want to bother opening the system monitor, finding that sneaky background process and killing it
i want to right click on the app indicator and click close
lime stone
toolbox?
gentle spruce
idfk, it just runs in the background
i guess to allow easy access to tools but launching it takes mere seconds
the devs had a brainfart moment
but it's a genuinely nice tool, keeps the ides up to date and manages projects
so i enjoy using it, but keeping it running in the background is not something i want to do
gentle spruce
why do you need a launcher for ides?
its more about updating them, but the launcher also helps because the ides are stored on a separate drive and don't get picked up by the gnome launcher for some reason

hmm, i'm pretty sure you can have autoupdate without a user-facing launcher
quaint sapphire
You are focusing on the wrong part
It can act as a launcher, but it's not a launcher
It's for managing jetbrains IDEs
Uninstall them, install them, update them, use preview versions etc
It installs them in a portable way, unlike system packages

Just make desktop files in .local/shared/applications iirc
lime stone
It can act as a launcher, but it's not a launcher
ah
quaint sapphire
why does that stay open?
Because if enabled, it can auto update the IDEs in the background
lime stone
so it's like eclipse's annoying oomph thing?
quaint sapphire
I've never used eclipse
lime stone
pretty sure you have to manually update
quaint sapphire
Other than android studio, jetbrains IDEs don't auto update, you either run the installer for a newer version or use the toolbox
Yeah running the installer for a newer version is technically updating
gentle spruce
Just make desktop files in `.local/shared/applications` iirc
well
quaint sapphire
I just wanted to say that it's not part of the IDE to update
