¯_(ツ)_/¯

[clear parcel]

something this volatile shouldn't be 1st party

quite a lot of servers block zwc

so this isn't even close to a universal bypass

also you can use text replace for this p sure

[swift delta]

Is saying “you can use text replace for this” your catchphrase? (half-joke)

[clear parcel]

I don't think I've ever said that before

but that's literally all this is lol

there's no "bypass"

[crisp basin]

ok i kinda got this one. i'll try to get context menus working but later because it's like 6am right now for me lol

[fast geyser]

very nice

i've been wanting to code that, can't live without it after switching to vencord

[acoustic nest]

Hey uh, I submitted this PR a month ago, is there any chance I could get it reviewed?
https://github.com/Vendicated/Vencord/pull/2290/

[iron epoch]

wait it been a month?

god

wow the time pass real fast

[iron epoch]

they're not being "reviewed" lol
they are sitting in the pile waiting to be found
true words

[vapid latch]

asking just makes it take longer

[amber mantle]

p much

https://github.com/Vendicated/Vencord/pull/2161/
My MoreUserTags PR now conforms to the user's experiment status while choosing whether to show regular bots as app or bot

i wonder if i'm literally the only one working on improving this plugin atm

¯_(ツ)_/¯

new plugins being added to vencord:

https://tenor.com/view/woody-disney-toy-story-hello-i-just-arrived-gif-17348320

meanwhile my pr

anyway it is time for my irregularly scheduled check-in regarding my PR @dull magnet (and obligatory sorry to bother you)

[flint bronze]

am i insane

[flint bronze]

dont

[vale spear]

are you on canary or smth

[flint bronze]

yes doesnt matter

i am fucking up react stuff ok

[vale spear]

ah

[vale spear]

i do it like once or twice a month it's probably fine

[flint bronze]

thats fucking stupid

why can't you use the {name:name} === {name} with imports

its not even that

its that react wasnt even loaded

well

it loaded properly

i know what it is

fucks sake

[vale spear]

mans went through all 5 stages of grief

[flint bronze]

it's MenuGroup not passing down extra arguments

even worse

there's this cope sitting right below it

[flint bronze]

it was

😭

[flint bronze]

i fixed my plugin

and

I have learned the hard way

that

Discord does NOT cache emojis

nvm i'm retarded

What the fuck

[dull magnet]

never open devtools on vencord.dev/plugins

[flint bronze]

seek help

please

seek some help

like wtf did i just read

[dull magnet]

what's wrong

[flint bronze]

nothing

[dapper valve]

i want to make a typing test for discord so you can see how fast you typed messages. is there anything i can use to detect more input other than using keydown on the input textbox or whatever its called

[vapid latch]

keyup

[indigo ferry]

Is there a way to modify QuickCSS?

[vapid latch]

from a plugin, not really, what would you want to modify

if its relating to LSP throwing errors with nesting or :has(), its a long standing issue that we're waiting for someone at microsoft to merge into monaco

[dapper valve]

oh ok and sry if this is a stupid question but is there any way to always get the message input element?

I looked at the better upload plugin and it refers to the plus button for images with a specific name

[vapid latch]

patch to extract it out when its created

[indigo ferry]

I'm seeing if a plugin that can quick hide Themes (for screenshots so you don't get banned) is viable

[vapid latch]

just themes wouldnt be enough and it would need support across all plugins imo

[dapper valve]

is there a way to extract values from regex patches to runtime patches?

[vapid latch]

you should theoretically be able to just do $self.whatever=whatever

[dull magnet]

// disable quick css
Vencord.Settings.useQuickCss = false

// disable online themes
Vencord.Settings.themeLinks = [];

// disable offline themes
Vencord.Settings.enabledThemes = []

@indigo ferry

just need to keep backup of the previous state

[indigo ferry]

alr

would this be a good plugin idea?

[vapid latch]

i still stand by this, where it would need to be a core feature

[dull magnet]

well someone made a theme that hides most vencord stuff

i don't really think making every plugin add code to hide itself is viable

way too tedious for something so niche

why do you care so much about showing client mod stuff in screenshots

just make sure the server you're in isn't uber cringe (if it is, whyare you talking there in the first place)

and if you really want a vanilla screenshot, it's probably best to instead keep a second vanilla install of discord

[indigo ferry]

Do you have a link?

[vapid latch]

I would never modify my Discord™️ client because that would be a no-no and against ToS. I'm a good girl who would never modify their Discord™️ client and publicly talk about it on Twitter.

[dull magnet]

(i sent a video with vencord & vesktop to discord staff a few days ago and they didn't even mention it )

[vapid latch]

well yeah they know you

[dull magnet]

I kinda wonder how many discord staff will see vendicated and realise who i am

[indigo ferry]

dont discord staff use modified clients themselves

i heard a rumor going around like that

[dull magnet]

well just earlier I found out that there's a discord staff who starred the vencord repo lmao

[indigo ferry]

mb

[vapid latch]

real

[dull magnet]

they also starred a self bot library 😭

crazy staff

im not gonna say who cause some annoying kid is gonna read these messages and snitch and I don't wanna get that staff in trouble

[indigo ferry]

discord doesn't care about modified clients, they care about them getting too popular if they allow them and being able to bypass nitro

if imma be honest

[dull magnet]

not even that

[indigo ferry]

some discord staff are probs why they aren't actively banning modded clients

[vapid latch]

discord just doesnt care unless its actually being used maliciously

[dull magnet]

i don't have any data to back this up but i would assume that the client mod population has a way higher ratio of nitro subscriptions than non client modders

and someone who installs a client mod for fake nitro likely wouldn't have ever bought nitro in the first place

so there's really no reason for them to care

[vapid latch]

they had the betterttv dev as one of their devs since near the beginning for years on end, it would be hypocritical for them to actually take action against client mods

miss you night

[indigo ferry]

if the discord ceo could, he would

there's no debating

[dull magnet]

could what

ban client modders?

they absolutely can lol

[vapid latch]

jason may be stupid on certain things when it comes to internal work politics and testing the waters with shit like crypto integration but i feel like he wouldnt axe off a good majority of the userbase just for "you broke tos, cope"

he more than likely realizes thats bad publicity

[dull magnet]

just push code to discord

if (window.Vencord) reportCurrentUser()

[vapid latch]

if (window.Vencord) HTTP.post(Endpoints.BAN_ME);

[indigo ferry]

I remember how I sent a ss with a modified client badge in it and a discord server helper (the official server) said "is that a platform indicator?" then when I deleted my image they deleted their message 😭

[vapid latch]

official servers are just the worst because they get people that moderate that are so out of touch with the community if not just take it too seriously with brand integration

[dull magnet]

just think about it from a logical standpoint

there are millions of people who use client modders. i would assume that client modders make up a good portion of discords most avid users, power users. so many of them will be nitro subs

if they banned all of them, it would produce massive backlash and they would lose many of their most loyal users. and many nitro subs

for what gain? emotional high ground?

there is no reason to ban someone unless they actively cause harm

which is why we have actually malicious plugins banned

[vapid latch]

there was some stupid change in like 2017/2018 that i dont remember that i bandwagoned with cancelling nitro over and its like, why did that even matter

[dull magnet]

but there will always be a very slim non zero chance of getting banned cause you're breaking tos after all. if you're not okay with that you probably shouldn't be using mods

but the odds are so low, it's much more likely that you'll get banned for other stuff like joking with your friends

"haha this you? [ip address]" has a much more realistic chance of getting u banned than client mods

[vapid latch]

or someone underage baiting you which still pisses me off

[dull magnet]

yeah it's stupid but the laws regarding that are strict

you can get into serious trouble if you don't follow child protection laws

so i understand their standpoint

[vapid latch]

i get that, but theres a fundemental flaw in the fact that t&s dont get to see the pre-edited content of the message

thats the part that annoys me the most about the entire ordeal

[dull magnet]

oh do you mean like
what's 4 + 4 edited into how old are you

[vapid latch]

or just lack of context in general

yeah

[dull magnet]

horror

well at least you can appeal age bans by proving your age

[vapid latch]

just hope it doesnt end up on a holiday or when they're out of office

[dull magnet]

the EU should implement some digital passport kinda deal that companies can use to verify your age without requiring access to personal info like your id

basically you can have your entire passpoint online and there should be some sort of oauth where you can choose exactly which info you need

so for example discord could ask for only the date of birth

paypal could ask for your name and dob and address

etc

it'd be cool tbh

[vapid latch]

neat idea but i still feel like theres still some people that would take issue to it but thats kind of expected

[indigo ferry]

vee can you pay for my plan ticket outta the usa 🙏

[vapid latch]

sorry you're stuck here

[indigo ferry]

the usa is collapsing in our life time

which is crazy

[dull magnet]

and then you have a prompt like the discord bot invite thing where it shows you exactly what permissions are being granted and with required links to privacy police and such

[vapid latch]

i mean yeah but that also means the world is collapsing because everything is interconnected enough nowadays that everyone else is dependent on the US

[dull magnet]

would be so much better than shenanigans like having to send discord support a picture of your passport

[vapid latch]

i committed identity fraud to verify my bot

[indigo ferry]

tbh

if my bot gets over 100 servers

im fucked

i dont have an ID, passport, nothing

[vapid latch]

and then i didnt even care to attempt to apply for message content intent and swapped apps

[indigo ferry]

i dont even have my birth certificate at my house

[vapid latch]

under 18?

[indigo ferry]

yes

[vapid latch]

i think you can still get a state id at 16 without having to apply for a drivers permit idr

[dull magnet]

honestly i don't think i mind discord making you verify your identity for large bots

as long as they take good care of it and don't use it for anything besides verification and legal purposes

[indigo ferry]

im 14

i heard you can get around verification if you add someone onto your team who can verify the bot

dk tho

[vapid latch]

https://nn4youth.org/resource-center/state-by-state-guide-to-obtaining-id-cards/

[indigo ferry]

there's only 2 states?? 😭

[vapid latch]

yeah that site is fucked wtf

[amber mantle]

the two most fucked states

alabama and alaska

[fallen flint]

does anybody know how discord decides what ?size parameter to use for user avatars? trying to find the largest possible version of images and don't really want to repetitively fetch with different size values

[tropic ice]

is it not always 4096?

[tropic ice]

hi

[fallen flint]

most of my friends avatars are 100

ig not

[tropic ice]

when using view avatar, the few people i just tried were all 4096

[fallen flint]

https://cdn.blooket.tech/u/d2f0accf-2c3d-4ec2-b0d8-cd5eb71d49e2.png

also when i try to use 4090 it sends back 400

[tropic ice]

you mean 4096?

[fallen flint]

yeah

hm

wait

oops i typed 4090 skuel

thanks lol, sorry for my stupidity

[tropic ice]

@round bobcat

tested on alt

used a 2x2 pfp

it's kinda weird

[flint bronze]

not really sure where to post this, but what 3rd party plugins do people recommend using the most

@iron epoch I probably sound schizophrenic saying this but #1032200195582197831 message has a custom expression picker tab, I had wanted to build an expression picker api, would you mind if I used your code for that?

what do you mean you already made one

i thought you were just shoving your code directly into the cookieclicker plugin

i really regret looking at your code

did you learn js/ts purely for vencord plugins

because it really feels like it

[iron epoch]

I was going to make a pr

[flint bronze]

all your code is on one branch

good luck lmao

you would need to recommit all of that

because uhhhhh

oh

or cherry pick

[flint bronze]

(I don't think Vee is gonna accept 10 new plugins in 1 PR)

[iron epoch]

nah that's just the first step of me creating something.
1 - make it works
2 - regret reading your shit code

[flint bronze]

real!!!

like

wtf happened here

[iron epoch]

DO not ask...

[flint bronze]

...

ok

[iron epoch]

I was going to ping you and Nuckyz anyways because the code is awful

[flint bronze]

oh

[iron epoch]

I am rn improving the awful patchs locally then going to commit them to a new branch

[flint bronze]

fun

also

TabApi or whatever you called it

[iron epoch]

yeah?

[flint bronze]

could probably do with a more descriptive name

[iron epoch]

That exactly the point of the ping, I am awful when it comes to naming

I am listening for any criticism

[flint bronze]

meanwhile i am worried that I am being too rude

[iron epoch]

no dw, I would accept the criticism

[iron epoch]

oh my god. my code is awful

[frosty otter]

uhhhh mmmm

[balmy sky]

Did the context menu api get changed? all of plugins buttons have stopped appearing in the context menu after an update a while back

[flint bronze]

Yes

[balmy sky]

Oof

[flint bronze]

Where there is a function returning another function in your patch remove one of those functions

[balmy sky]

R/ihadastroke

[flint bronze]

it really would be easier

if I showed you the diff

of when it was changed

[balmy sky]

Yes please do

Hold on i'll check out the way you define conext menu patches because i haven't done them in AGES

[flint bronze]

Also there's a contextMenus field added into plugins

[flint bronze]

Read the message I just sent

[balmy sky]

Oh i'll just read the definePlugin source again hold on

Oh wow that's so much easier lmao

[flint bronze]

https://github.com/Vendicated/Vencord/commit/42a9fa2d47d2e0d0e4233436086e93f0b3dcb1af

See

[balmy sky]

Oh this is so much easier lmao

Thanks

[flint bronze]

exploding so hard rn

[flint bronze]

well

[flint bronze]

i fixed that

finally

[tropic ice]

is that a file preview?

[dapper valve]

so just to test if it would work i got the element for the input box with queryselector and did a keydown and it gave me a sentry error every time i deselected/selected the box (the element did exist)

[iron epoch]

@flint bronze

https://github.com/programminglaboratorys/Vencord/tree/TablistApi

alright, give me your best constructive criticism

will Nuckyz mind if I ping her? idk if she will be interested

[iron epoch]

while I am waiting and avoiding to do my homework(aka updating my old plugins).
going to make the idea that you indirectly/unconditionally gave me

[iron epoch]

me again, how do I not force restart when my plugin is off? I don't want the window of "those plugins... restart..."

[jagged briar]

what?

if your plugin has patches it has to restart

[iron epoch]

yeah but mine doesn't really need that as its just rendering a button and it doesn't render the button when the plugin is off anyways

Vencord.Settings.plugins[$self.name].enabled ? $self.AppendButton($2, $4) : null

[jagged briar]

remove the enabled check

it's useless since you have to restart anyway

afaik there's no way to disable that if you have patches

[iron epoch]

damnit, alr

but can I like force restart?

no asking, just force the user to restart

[jagged briar]

why do you need to do that

[cedar olive]

you are talking about the api or a plugin

[iron epoch]

a plugin

[cedar olive]

and the plugin still has patches after making it use the api?

[iron epoch]

the plugin is not using any apis, its just some small plugin

[cedar olive]

show it

[iron epoch]

[cedar olive]

oh

yeah you dont the enabled check

and no way for it to not require a restart because it uses a patch

the plugin is obligated to be enabled when discord starts for the patch to apply

[flint bronze]

heads up: I am building something that would probably compliment this very well

[iron epoch]

that's kinda why the enable check is there, so the user doesn't need the restart

but thanks

@cedar olive while you are here, can I ask you to look into something else?

[cedar olive]

but that code will never run without a restart

when the user enables the plugin after, the place you patch has likely already run without your patched code

so it will never try to even add your button

[iron epoch]

oh you got it all wrong

[cedar olive]

that's why the user needs to restart, so the code is patched and the new modified version is run

you mean when disabling?

[iron epoch]

ye, just when diabling

[cedar olive]

that would work but at the same time it's not a practice we do

all plugins that require a patch will require a restart to disable too

so we don't need to write logic for every single thing

[iron epoch]

thanks nuckyz for the feedback

[iron epoch]

@cedar olive can you look into this?

[cedar olive]

not now, sorry

[iron epoch]

oh okay, that's alright

[jagged briar]

and a tip for patches: $self is a reference to your plugin

[iron epoch]

is it the same exact idea? I am curious to know

[flint bronze]

no

but

i am making a replacement for quick css

[iron epoch]

how would that be possible? quickcss seems perfect

[flint bronze]

quickcss gets horrible to maintain very quickly

[iron epoch]

oh, yeah that's true..

[jagged briar]

ngl thats real

[flint bronze]

that is literally the only reason I am developing a replacement

[iron epoch]

this seems exciting, can't wait to see it

[flint bronze]

the todo:

make editor load properly
inject CSS into the page
clean up the UI

[jagged briar]

is this a plugin or a core update

[flint bronze]

core update

[vale spear]

moreusertags just broke (i think the stable one did as well) so i'm working on fixing it

at least in my pr

[cedar olive]

already fixed

in dev

[vale spear]

alr

[next leaf]

how do i add custom commands including options and text replace? (e.g. i want to make a /url command with the options title and url, that sends [§title](§url) (while obviously replacing the § variables) into wherever u use the command (inspired by kaomoji and textreplace plugin)

[balmy sky]

Read the source code of plugins that already do that

[next leaf]

any examples of plugins to look at?

kaomoji wont work cuz it doesnt implement variables/user input

[balmy sky]

Petpet

[next leaf]

yup

what function do i use to send the message?

sendMessage expects a channel id and idk how to retrieve that

[dull magnet]

you're asking really basic questions that you could easily answer by yourself

[balmy sky]

^

[dull magnet]

find usages of that function in the code and see how they do it

and look at all plugins that register command

a simple global project find in vscode will find everything

[next leaf]

im too impatient and adhd to do that at first ;_;

tho i got it now

[dull magnet]

i have adhd too and wrote most of this codebase you have no excuse

[next leaf]

f*ck

whats the keybind for dev console again?

[dull magnet]

https://google.it

[next leaf]

when i use the command it does nothing

no message, no console error

and yes i have enabled the plugin in my settings

anyone? pls?

[iron epoch]

show the code so someone can help

[next leaf]

i magically made it work

tho how do i turn my options into required options?

i cant rly do options: [RequiredMessageOption] cuz i wanna give the options custom names and descriptions

[balmy sky]

Bruh

[next leaf]

ik i suck </3

[balmy sky]

I don't fully understand patching yet, so id like to ask a question- if i wanted to patch the src property of this image in a component, what's the best thing to set the match to, instead of just src: E, so it doesn't get replaced when the value names change?

[dull magnet]

identifiers can be matched with \i

but to guarantee you match the right need you need to be a bit more specific, for example also capture the __invalid_ringArt

[flint bronze]

^^^

i would also recommend avoiding explicitly defining the alt attribute in your match

do a .{0,10} or something like that

[balmy sky]

Oh i get it now, thanks

[cedar marsh]

When docs on exactly how \i works?

[amber mantle]

u can just check the code trol

[flint bronze]

https://github.com/Vendicated/Vencord/blob/main/src/utils/patches.ts#L21-L26

[proud parrot]

**patches.ts: **Lines 21-26

export function canonicalizeMatch(match: RegExp | string) {
    if (typeof match === "string") return match;
    const canonSource = match.source
        .replaceAll("\\i", "[A-Za-z_$][\\w$]*");
    return new RegExp(canonSource, match.flags);
}

[iron epoch]

guys, I am unable to patch a module, I am sure the patch works as I tested it in the patch helper

{
    find: "PROFILE_BIO_RULES:",
    replacement: {
        match: /(PROFILE_BIO_RULES):(\i)/,
        replace: "$1:$self.addRules($2)"
    }
}

but the plugin doesn't seem to do the patch

I am sure the module is getting loaded because its responsible for the markdowns

[vapid latch]

vencord plugins load too late for markdown patching to be possible without having to recreate the parsers after the fact

see: https://github.com/Cynosphere/Vencord/tree/plugin/highlight

[dull magnet]

wdym

[iron epoch]

what I mean, the patch isn't patching

[dull magnet]

make sure your plugin is enabled

[iron epoch]

I am sure 100% it is, I even tried to make it start at init

[vapid latch]

it still would be nice to have a markdown library but its just annoying that theres no way to get it to work without recreating parsers

and adding webpack interop support for one (1) feature would probably be unfavored

[iron epoch]

yeah you are right

and right about this either

welp

code blocks and mention will never be possible in vencord 😔

here the code if someone is interested

export default definePlugin({
    name: "MoreRules",
    description: "added more Markdown Rules",
    authors: [Devs.iamme],
    patch: [
        {
            find: "PROFILE_BIO_RULES:",
            replacement: {
                match: /(PROFILE_BIO_RULES):(\i)/,
                replace: "$1:$self.addRules($2)"
            }
        }
    ],
    addRules: (rules) => {
        console.log("\n" * 2);
        console.log("RULES:", rules);
        console.log("\n" * 2);
        return rules;
    },
    startAt: StartAt.Init
});

[vapid latch]

i dont get why your patch is failing

[iron epoch]

seems like its too late as you said

[vapid latch]

that shouldnt matter when it comes to patching

wait you're not isolating the module in that screenshot

you're just looking at the bundle

[iron epoch]

wh-

like bundle of modules?

that shouldn't matter right?

[iron epoch]

if that the case, I could be making a mistake that I am not seeing

[vapid latch]

Vencord.Webpack.extract(428595) in console and then click that function it returns

then you'll see if its actually patched or not

[iron epoch]

alright, better then giving up that doesn't seem right at all

oh ye, I am still in init stage

[dull magnet]

the issue of it not patching some chunks should have been fixed ages ago

if not, maybe try again with the webpack-changes branch

[iron epoch]

alright going to check that out

[cedar olive]

It should be patching all chunks yeah

[balmy sky]

Where can i patch the audio that gets played in the wumpus "Chats can be alot" page? i've been looking for 2 hours but i literally just can't find it 💀

[flint bronze]

How do you spend 2 hours looking for a link to a file

It's webpack module 778184 btw

just do a find for 044c6093a6ca7006430c

[balmy sky]

I'm rather special

[flint bronze]

also

[balmy sky]

Omfg oops

[flint bronze]

i would patch it where its defined btw

[balmy sky]

Yee

I think i'm stupid

[flint bronze]

do not patch the webpack module id location

patch the string defining the asset

[balmy sky]

Ik, i just can't find module 778184 or the ./vibing_wumpus

[flint bronze]

do this

[flint bronze]

probably because I'm stupid and I'm on canary which is a different build

i would assume that random filename stays the same

[balmy sky]

044c6093a6ca7006430c doesn't show up when i search sources either

It works in the patch helper but i'm not sure how to patch without seeing the source

[flint bronze]

your regex should be /=.{0,10}"044c6093a6ca7006430c.mp3"/ or something like that

i would assume n.p here is /assets/

[flint bronze]

meeeeee

[balmy sky]

Brain aint braining oh god

[amber mantle]

venbot agrees

isnt that right

[flint bronze]

So why is it called local themes

when the enabled themes sync

and do that

[cedar olive]

about this, you can make your plugin start at init to be the earliest possible (as soon as vencord is executed, you can't ask for more than that)

that's a new thing that was added after you made your stuff

[vapid latch]

does that count for dependencies as well

[cedar olive]

prob yes

[vapid latch]

like if plugin a depends on api plugin b, and api plugin b is set to run the earliest it can, will plugin a automatically be set to run the earliest it can too?

[cedar olive]

no

you need to set plugin a manually

but it's no big deal honestly

[vapid latch]

guh

fair

[cedar olive]

you can also not depend on the start method and do something else

vencord runs early, you just need to make the thing you want run early too :)

[vapid latch]

that might be where i was fucking up tbh

[cedar olive]

easy with the new way to change how early the start method runs, but also doable in other ways

[cedar olive]

this wouldn't be super good to force cuz maybe the person wants something to happen in the start method later, the best solution would prob be to make a new prop in the plugin definition for that api to use

[vapid latch]

i personally see very little use cases where this would be an issue anyways

[cedar olive]

I agree with you

can't be more early than that haha

[vapid latch]

yeah that should be early enough

[cedar olive]

that's before discord has even initialized the webpack

[vapid latch]

yeah thats why i said that

is there already a keyword highlight plugin thats merged

[cedar olive]

nah

also I suppose not having to re-build the parser is going to save you a lot of trouble?

[vapid latch]

yes

[amber mantle]

highlight real

[iron epoch]

anyone has a good plugin idea for the penal api?

[green vessel]

The chatgpt section looks intriguing.

[swift delta]

you switch to it and it just shows this gif

https://tenor.com/view/peter-griffin-fortnite-peter-griffin-fortnite-fortnite-dance-griddy-gif-14962661033264953067

[green vessel]

Petaaa hited the griddy!!!

[quaint cipher]

hai i wonder if this would be a good idea
the character count when you're close to hitting limit is a react component that will take the current character count in chat as prop and return null if its not close enough to the limit and otherwise it'll return the count and the "Send longer messages with Nitro"

i was thinking to add a character count visible all the time i could patch it and if it returns null then i'd return my component instead which would just be the count

so that way the "Send longer messages with Nitro" which is the normal behaviour would only appear when you're hitting the limit

is this a good approach?

[quaint cipher]

alternatively i could just remove the "Send longer messages with Nitro" thingy from the component as i doubt anyone would care but eh idk if that'd be bad to do as the plugin description would say it just adds a character count and wouldn't mention this side effect

actually this component is characters since your limit (2k for non nitro and 4k for nitro) so maybe i could add a different one for total chars not dependant of this one but i feel like having 2 counters could be confusing

[cedar marsh]

Is there a good reason why we don't have splitLargeMessages or should I make

Already basically made for my bot

[swift delta]

selfbotting/api abuse

[cedar marsh]

Ah

What if I made it so it just sends the first 2k characters (with smart detection of where to split) and keeps remaining in chat box, so you just press enter more than once

That way it's only making it easier to send what you want, but not botting

[swift delta]

I think it’s considered API abuse because you would be sending two requests back to back that quickly and it might get flagged

[cedar marsh]

You can trigger discord "your sending too fast" with no mods

It just tells you to slow down

[swift delta]

exactly, but a split message would trigger it more easily

[cedar marsh]

It's not our problem if users decide to send 10+ 2000 character messages at once

[swift delta]

and if discord see how often you are triggering it then that would get flagged to them

[cedar marsh]

I sincerely doubt they flag message sending rate limits unless it's in the order of 100s in a minute.
This is justified because they have a built in handler for human amounts of speed.

I could just add a timeout after sending one, then have it increase with every subsequent message

[swift delta]

fair, but the selfbotting/api abuse is just what Vee said and i’m using weird logic to come to the same conclusion that Vee did. So unless you could implement some kind of client side slow mode I feel like there’s no way to get around Vee’s conclusion.

[cedar marsh]

I'll pr with a 2s slowmode cooldown after enter press

[swift delta]

i think the only way to get around Vee’s conclusion of Selfbotting/Api abuse is if you send the first part of the message then put a client-side slow mode before letting someone manually push the enter button to send the second part of the message

[chrome elbow]

i dont remember ven said that, just it's useless since discord allow you send as file

[swift delta]

that too, just 94% sure that’s what they said it was

[swift delta]

fres, this is starting too sound like a char counter plugin (which would be nice to have since the last one got exploded for being bad)

[cedar marsh]

Send as file sucks because I can't see on mobile.

[dull magnet]

i never said any of that

i just think it's useless

[swift delta]

i was told you did

[dull magnet]

how often do you send more than 2k chars

[swift delta]

far point, I was just going off that because I was told by someone you did the time I bought it up

[iron epoch]

then i'd return my component instead
I don't think that's needed, just return the number count component no matter what

[balmy sky]

How could i get the message component for a fake/example message element to demonstrate smth?

[jagged briar]

wdym

just send a message?

[balmy sky]

Wha

[amber mantle]

render the message component yourself

or hijack botmessage iunno

[jagged briar]

ok that makes more sense but yeah rendering it yourself shouldn't be hard

[visual rune]

@dull magnet do u know what this part of messagelogger is for

it ignores the edit if the content matches the first item in editHistory, but why

[dull magnet]

because not every edit is a content edit

i assume

[visual rune]

doesn't the check to the right of that cover that?

[dull magnet]

idk check git blame to see who wrote that code and ask them

[visual rune]

already did

says you co-authored it

[visual rune]

@granite wharf

[dull magnet]

it wasn't me who wrote it :p

[granite wharf]

my code but cant remember sorry

if i added it there was some reason to
most likely to do with embed message updates

[visual rune]

but the check right after already deals with that

[granite wharf]

most likely different things

it could be that one of those is a partial message object

try logging $2 and m during after link unfurling
i had issues with that for a bit

[jagged briar]

why are you making a third party plugin installer

[amber mantle]

huh i thought the same

everyone does it or wants to do it without knowing the repercussions doing such thing will have

[jagged briar]

without knowing that the entire purpose of vencord is to not have this

[flint bronze]

if 3rd party plugins could be easily installed then #🏥-vencord-support-🏥 would become almost entirely useless

90% of messages after an announcement of "easy 3rd party plugin installation" will be

• how do i install plugin
• what does this plugin do
• why isnt this plugin working
• why do i get [obvious error]

[green vessel]

Real

[dull magnet]

why tf are u shelling out to curl 😭

use fetch()

[flint bronze]

i didn't even notice

i was only worried about the git clone instead of using branches and merging

but also conflicts

[ripe smelt]

I was just annoyed by how long it took to dig for all the third party plug-ins out there to use so I'm like why not try to make it easier on other people who want to do the same thing

plus it's an opportunity to get familiar with typescript and working with electron

[ripe smelt]

oh I'm aware vencord was made to avoid having this, making it more lightweight, but there's still a handful of 3rd party plug-ins that can actually be really good but its hell to find them and a drag to manually download each one

[ripe smelt]

I'm pretty sure a lot of repercussions can be avoided if it's maintained and done well

[ripe smelt]

it'd make it a lot easier on a lot of people

[flint bronze]

i have a stupid question

[ripe smelt]

plus I'm pretty sure this wouldn't get approved to be published to the official vencord download either way

[flint bronze]

have you considered this wont work because end users of this will not have git or pnpm or node or anything like that

[ripe smelt]

Well at that point all the plugin could do is give them an error telling them to install it or redirect to a guide or something

however, since it's unlikely this would ever get published to vencord, people would have to download this as a 3rd party plug-in, so they should have git and pnpm downloaded by then

[flint bronze]

[ripe smelt]

idk I was over thinking it 💀

thank you

[amber mantle]

i guess for lazy people that use a devbuild already it would be fine

[queen sedge]

not for a plugin, just running this in console, but is there an equiv of Vencord.Webpack.Common.EmojiStore.getDisambiguatedEmojiContext().emojisById for stickers? wanting to archive all emojis + stickers on my account before i leave some servers

nvm got it, Vencord.Webpack.findStore("StickersStore").stickerMetadata

[green vessel]

No real point of having this all you need to do is drag the plugin into userplugins then just pnpm building it then restart discord. Very straight forward lol

[amber mantle]

pnpm build*

me when i do it all in the console

git clone cd build taskkill start

oh

wait

does it have to do with ctx.channel.id?

because it messes up at sendBotMessage(ctx.channel.id, {

wait no

ahhhh

they got rid of user.id when fetching with token

lovely

[green vessel]

Ye lol

I think I added ing to signify it's an action or smth

Idk

[next leaf]

guys how does messagelogger store messages and how would i change the code to make it store the messages permanently in a custom file location?

[silent edge]

it intentionally doesnt store them because thats creepy

[next leaf]

ye ik

but like every friend group needs a paranoid creep

and im that person

especially cuz my friend group consists of me, myself and i

[silent edge]

im paranoid as shit and even i think something like that is going too far

[next leaf]

well

if people dont want me to see smth dont send it in the first place

and i hate people lying to me

and im paranoid about it

cuz that stuff rly broke me

[dull magnet]

#1032200195582197831 has what you want

[silent edge]

it just sounds like ur around bad people u should probably get away from if this is something that has happened before

[dull magnet]

[next leaf]

i mean. ur not wrong. rethinks my life decisions

[next leaf]

where exactly tho? i cant find it

nvm smart me searched for "messagelogger" instead of "logger" which was the problem

[next leaf]

anyone knows why the "Browse" button in Enhanced Message Logger doesnt work?

it says "Failed to update directory"

[next leaf]

well i fixed that

tho next problem for another small plugin im making

my goal is to select the box where the user enters text, but idk what method to use for that

[flint bronze]

use a ref

[next leaf]

pls be more specific

[flint bronze]

https://react.dev/learn/manipulating-the-dom-with-refs should help

it even has an example for focusing a textboz

[next leaf]

ngl i never used react xd

[flint bronze]

dont feel bad

i didnt

I was scared of react once

[jagged briar]

i still am

[next leaf]

so am i

[next leaf]

pls just gimme the finished code so i can ctrl c ctrl v it :scriptKiddySobs:

[flint bronze]

bro the skidding code is literally on that page

[next leaf]

well these functions all return their own html elements, but i wanna focus on smth that alrdy exists

im struggling :sobs:

[honest stump]

Does the multi option in <SearchableSelect /> just not work?

<SearchableSelect
  options={[
    { label: "Dark", value: SearchState.DARK },
    { label: "Light", value: SearchState.LIGHT },
  ]}
  placeholder={"Tags"}
  closeOnSelect={false}
  multi={true}
  onChange={(e) => setFilterState(e as SearchState)}
/>

No matter what I do it never selects more than one option

might be cause of my usage of onChange but uh

[woven lion]

why are you using that for two options

[honest stump]

I removed the other 25ish options

[balmy sky]

Is it possible to enable the purple streaming status without having a streaming rpc? i'm trying to make a plugin that adds it to the status options but i can't even find where you can toggle it

[honest stump]

what in the shitcord is this behavior

I love Discord (if its already known ignore my presence )

[amber mantle]

you love shitcord

the gif picker no one uses in the edit profile page also half works when you have favoritegifsfirst on

actually just kidding it works again

apparently theres just no way to get to favorites from there otherwise lmao

[dry patio]

maybe some day

[balmy sky]

https://tenor.com/view/leonardo-dicaprio-gif-18906611

[honest stump]

do you guys think that the ability to hide the dearrow button would be a good idea, i mean its helpful but i dont want to pr for literally one line

[visual rune]

you'll be fine

[honest stump]

lmao

[silent edge]

i think a good addition to the dearrow extension is to have some more of the browser extension settings

like disabling the thumbnail getting dearrowed

so u only have the modified titles

[honest stump]

youre reading my mind wtf

[silent edge]

i know 👁️ /j

im guessing that means ur working on it so thats good :D

[honest stump]

[ruby turtle]

sorry if I'm being a little dumb, but is there a event that gets fired when Save & Closed is pressed?

[flint bronze]

what saved & closed are you talking about

in plugin settings?

[ruby turtle]

yeah in plugin settings sorry

[flint bronze]

for that you can use the onChange method

in a plugin setting definition

it will ONLY be called from the settings menu save button

overwriting settings.store.setting will NOT automatically call that

[ruby turtle]

doesn't seem to work with custom Components :/

[flint bronze]

isnt that because you write directly to the store though

[ripe smelt]

is it possible to download and unzip/extract a rar via native.ts?

[vapid latch]

if you can find a library for it, but why do you need to?

[honest stump]

i think theyre building a plugin downloader

[ripe smelt]

^

[dull magnet]

don't use rar

use zip or better yet asar

then yes

[indigo ferry]

use rawr instead

[ripe smelt]

i meant zip mb

[vapid latch]

asar best bet because then its just apart of electron

[dull magnet]

electron has native support for asar

and there's an unzip library included in vencord already

[vapid latch]

the bonus of using asar is you dont even need to extract it

[ripe smelt]

ah, I'll look into that then. thank you

[flint bronze]

asar very cursed if you look into it though

[vapid latch]

how so

the only cursed part is redirecting node:fs

other than that the format itself is just an offshoot of tar

[flint bronze]

is just an offshoot of tar
that makes it sound not cursed

[vapid latch]

and even then thats just within electron's node context

[dull magnet]

yeah asar is cool tbh

super simple yet powerful format

[honest stump]

why does reviewdb have an option to remove reviews

isnt the whole purpose of reviews to not remove your own reviews

[jagged briar]

That’s the only reason why is still on Vencord

[dull magnet]

its main purpose is being a fun plugin

[swift delta]

but also removing reviews is a good thing because sometimes little trolls like to harass you reviews (I speak from experience)

[honest stump]

You can report them

but well

[swift delta]

I might be able to report them, but I don’t wanna wait however long it takes for the mods to remove it, when they’re basically calling me slurs in the reviews

[honest stump]

fair

[dull magnet]

that and there's only so much reporting can do

it might be that there's a review on your profile that isn't offensive but you absolutely hate the person and don't want them there

like an ex or a stalker

[swift delta]

ong real

[jagged briar]

I got bad reviews because I denied people’s decors and they complained about it

That’s why I opted out

[swift delta]

can’t you just redact your name from it?

[jagged briar]

That only works on the dashboard

If you do it through the discord bot it doesn’t redact it

[swift delta]

understandable

[signal hemlock]

does vencord have a consistent way to define styles e.g. with a framework or should I just use style={}

[dull magnet]

css files

https://github.com/search?q=repo%3AVendicated%2FVencord++language%3ACSS&type=code

[jagged briar]

And if you are modifying discord styles then you should make it managed so it turns on/off with your plugin

[signal hemlock]

how do i apply the css file

just import it?

[swift delta]

import "./style.css";

[signal hemlock]

okay that works

but i'm having trouble with the <Textarea> component (imported from @webpack/common)

it's not setting the default value I pass as children

this is my code so far:

<TextArea onChange={console.log} name="code" placeholder="console.log('Hello world!');">testest</TextArea>

this is what i'm getting

[dull magnet]

yeah dont use children like that

you'll want to use the value: prop

[signal hemlock]

i found patch helper and copied from that

[dull magnet]

got it to work?

[signal hemlock]

yup

actually is there any way to highlight the value of the textarea

like quickcss but without the fancy stuff

[dull magnet]

like syntax highlighting?

[signal hemlock]

yeah

[dull magnet]

depends

readonly is easy with discord's parser

if you want it to be readwrite then you should use monaco (the quickcss editor)

[signal hemlock]

is there a way to easily embed this bc i want it to be part of the settings modal

and not open in a new window

[dull magnet]

what exactly are u making

[signal hemlock]

script snippets

we discussed in dms like a year ago

[vapid latch]

https://toaster.sh/i/h3gx8r5i.png

[jagged briar]

True but im not gonna redact myself from every review

[worthy rose]

This the first message I read with no context in this channel 😭

[dull magnet]

ajjiasijdoasjiodjioasjiodaojidaJOIKDIOJKoijIJOJIOFSAJOIDFJIOASFJIOSAJIOFASJIOFJIOASFIJO

[potent fox]

wise words

[signal hemlock]

what does ApplicationCommandInputType do

[dull magnet]

BUILT_IN_TEXT = you return content and it automatically sends it, used for stuff like /me
BUILT_IN = doesnt automatically send

ignore the rest

[viral roost]

and now starboard doesn't get the context either

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/859798445870809108.png?quality=lossless&size=48

Amazing!

[amber mantle]

i just have a bunch of aliu users brainrot on mine lol

• i dont use it

[green vessel]

This quote was too good for me to pass up lol

[balmy sky]

Damnit i thought of doing that 💀

[balmy sky]

Now i'm curious what the rest are 💀

[honest stump]

no clue about 2, 4 but 3 seems to be a simple clyde message (correct me if im wrong)

[dull magnet]

it's not interesting

just irrelevant

[green vessel]

Ur so real for this

[balmy sky]

Why is it there then

[vapid latch]

cause we just took the enum that was in the client?

[ripe smelt]

[dull magnet]

shwo full code

this shouldnt error

[noble rose]

vee deleted one line and now plugin broke for app users, do i just push a fix to the same branch i made?

Specifically, https://github.com/Vendicated/Vencord/pull/2280/commits/a44ffe6a1a38b1a33e0019a8be0b8d3ca700f16a where the following line getting removed prevents it from opening on desktop app

[chrome elbow]

make another pr

[flint bronze]

Yeah

then open another PR

make sure your branch is up to date with what vee changed though

[dull magnet]

wha?

i replaced it with the download property

which makes the browser download it instead of opening the url

[drowsy chasm]

yes
which breaks it if you're trying to download it through the discord app

[noble rose]

^ that

[dull magnet]

eh?

[noble rose]

i'll do it the second i can, currently busy with urgent assignments!

[drowsy chasm]

the button does nothing

[dull magnet]

i tried it in vesktop and it worked 🥺

we will force all users to switch to vesktop

[drowsy chasm]

[dull magnet]

sowwy for breaking it then

[noble rose]

The singularity

Either way learning a lot from contributing to vencord, thanks vee.

[steady knot]

so uhh dumb question; I used to have replytimestamp as a userplugin that I had slightly modified but I think I want to use the one that's now integrated; how would I go about modifying the timestamp format the best way (I want seconds in it)

can I somehow just add an override for the replytimestamp format into my customtimestamp plugin https://gist.github.com/nvhhr/7385814810cad48be5ffa4483fe4d2f8

[vapid latch]

just change the format string used by it

look at moment.js docs for valid format strings

[steady knot]

yeah but if I change it in the src what happens

when it gets updated or something

[vapid latch]

...it changes?

make it a different filename if it conflicts with being a userplugin?

alternatively just pr an option for seconds

or custom time format entirely

[steady knot]

I did have a modified format for the userplugin but I was wondering if it's now merged, the userplugin might not get updated anymore and the one in /plugins will get updates so not sure what the best way to go about this would be; copy it as userplugin and keep it up to date myself (not ideal) or if I can just somehow override it with my plugin

not sure it makes sense to PR an option for seconds when there's no merged plugin for seconds in timestamps in general that would be weird (also I can't code)

[amber basin]

lmao

[amber mantle]

lol

[swift delta]

I think reaching out on an email about something is a new to me

[amber basin]

yeah lmfao

also its on one of my cobu prs

i used it for like a week

they must have been digging for that

[amber basin]

i just remembered, not the first time this has happened :p

person found my fork of an alternative discord client that added qr code auth

[visual rune]

people email me all the time

[flint bronze]

this is insane

[flint bronze]

should I try working on a video loop plugin? I know it's been attempted before btw

[gloomy terrace]

picture in picture for embed videos when (basically YouTube links)

[amber mantle]

i thought there was one

unless my devbuild is schizo lol

[flint bronze]

different thing

[amber mantle]

DONT star that LOOL

[flint bronze]

not the videos

too bad

[amber mantle]

well they said videos

xd

[flint bronze]

i mean

[amber mantle]

embed videos as in

[flint bronze]

the embedded youtube player

[amber mantle]

oh

maybe

shouldnt be hard ~~but why dont you open it in a real browser ~~

[gloomy terrace]

Fair

I had another idea, but I'll make a different plugin request later
you can't open audio files in an actual browser like you'd do with videos, so a PiP mode for these might be useful idk

[flint bronze]

blame discord's http headers they send

[gloomy terrace]

I already blame discord for too many things

I have a question though
Is it possible to make a plugin that skips the opening browser part when saving files?

[flint bronze]

Yop

somehow

[gloomy terrace]

Might request that later as well, cuz I'm tired of having to open 20 tabs when I'm working on a project

[green vessel]

Real

[worn karma]

I have been unsuccessfully trying to fetch members by their ID. I have also tried to subscribe to GUILD_MEMBERS_CHUNK & GUILD_MEMBER_UPDATE events to see if anything is coming in, with no luck. I have also tried without the promise chaining with no luck either.

Does anyone have an idea about what's wrong here?

const nicknames: (string | undefined)[] = [];
FluxDispatcher.dispatch({
  type: "GUILD_MEMBERS_REQUEST",
  guildIds: [guildId],
  userIds: userIds,
}).then(() => {
  userIds.map(id => nicknames.push(GuildMemberStore.getMember(guildId!, id)?.nick));
});
console.log(nicknames);

Current result of the above is just an array of undefined's.

[dull magnet]

https://github.com/search?q=repo%3AVendicated%2FVencord GUILD_MEMBERS_REQUEST&type=code

[worn karma]

Thanks! I already tried that method, like below. But it doesn't work sadly 🤔

FluxDispatcher.dispatch({
  type: "GUILD_MEMBERS_REQUEST",
  guildIds: [guildId],
  userIds: userIds
});

[dull magnet]

provide more context

[worn karma]

Is this only supposed to work inside a react component?

[dull magnet]

if you want the list of members once it's done fetching you also need to await the gateway event of chunk fetch success

look at implicit relationships

but it's way easier if u do it in a react component

[worn karma]

Ahhh I see, that must be the missing piece

Thank you!

[dull magnet]

what are u trying to do anyway

[honest stump]

I'm trying to get the message author of the reacted message, I saw the moyai plugin use messageAuthorId for MESSAGE_REACTION_ADD

however when I try to access it it returns always undefined, am I missing something?

however logs show that it exists as property

MESSAGE_REACTION_ADD({ channelId, guildId, userId, messageAuthorId, emoji }) {
  const currentUser = UserStore.getCurrentUser();
  console.log(messageAuthorId, currentUser.id);
}

im a little confused, appreciate any help

my current fix is just fetching the message manually but thats a meh solution

[dull magnet]

you don't seem to be destructuring right

[honest stump]

moyai also returns undefined, either its just my stupidity or smth else

[vapid latch]

https://toaster.sh/i/7zfqxcd6.png

oh wait i see now

you can either patch the flux event to take in message_author_id (kinda stupid to do it just for one plugin) or just MessageStore.getMessage(event.channelId, event.messageId).author.id

[honest stump]

yeah that's what I did, thanks

[ripe smelt]

can someone look this over? I still have no clue what could be wrong

[dull magnet]

how do you call ExtraPluginTab

[ripe smelt]

export default wrapTab(ExtraPluginsTab, "Plugin Repo");

and then index.tsx just pushes into the Vencord section in settings:

async start() {
    const customSettingsSections = (
        Vencord.Plugins.plugins.Settings as any as {
            customSections: ((ID: Record<string, unknown>) => any)[];
        }
    ).customSections;

    customSettingsSections.push(() => ({
        section: "PluginRepo",
        label: "Plugin Repo",
        element: require("./ExtraPluginsTab").default,
        className: "vc-plugin0-repo",
    }));
}```

[dull magnet]

idk skill issue

shouldnt happen

[ripe smelt]

Imma try reinstalling dev build from scratch and see what happens

yeah it still crashes, so it has to be something with the code somewhere

[ripe smelt]

turns out it was just because the function that renders the install button used multiple hooks (useState and useEffect) and was in the same file instead of being a separate component

[balmy sky]

How could i get/set profile data like pfp, banner, pronouns, bio, etc? I'm trying to make a profile preset saver system but i have no idea where to start

[frosty otter]

maybe look in the network tab in the inspector, when changing your profile

this might also be useful

https://github.com/dolfies/discord-protos

[frosty otter]

PATCH -> https://canary.discord.com/api/v9/users/@me/profile

the field names are nearly the same as in the settings

[dull magnet]

don't send the request manually and don't manually bother with proto

[dull magnet]

use react devtools to inspect the change profile ui, specifically the save button

[frosty otter]

I know you should do it like this: findByProps("getAPIBaseURL").HTTP.patch({url: "/users/@me/profile", body: {}})

[dull magnet]

no

UserSettingsActionCreators.PreloadedUserSettingsActionCreators.getCurrentValue()

[frosty otter]

oh, this looks interesting, thank you

[dull magnet]

if the client is already using something then you don't need to manually fetch it

that just makes it harder on yourself and potentially makes you seem sus to antispam

[clear parcel]

profile stuff isnt in proto settings

[frosty otter]

yea, that's why I said this: #🧩-plugin-development message

[clear parcel]

doing a patch like this is fine in this case

yeah HTTP.patch({url: "/users/@me/profile", body: {}}) is best here

[dull magnet]

there's probably a func for that too

[dull magnet]

i was just going off proto cause ^ :p

[clear parcel]

only to save the pending ui state

no point bothering

[frosty otter]

I didn't read the message properly :P

[stiff cargo]

@dull magnet Some notes about https://github.com/Vendicated/Vencord/pull/1976
I implemented adding the attribute, but I can't seem to be able to use it in CSS...

Also the CSS in the PR is completely borked now, that does however present the option of just removing it completely and just changing the src like it's already doing

[silk sorrel]

you would have to specify the type of value to be parsed as the second argument of attr()
no css engines currently support that
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/attr#url

use a css property instead style="--something: url('....')"

[stiff cargo]

oh wow ok, thanks

[dull magnet]

real, my bad

[orchid shard]

is it possible to change what audio channel/device discord is using for screenshares? I use Elgato's Wavelink and discord uses the Monitor-mix... which includes the discord audio
opened a support ticket half a year ago and they said its a "known issue" but no fix :P

[cobalt radish]

hey, I want to learn about how to make a plugin.. I have checked the repository for some examples but im really confused about how would I run my own custom code

is there any guides or documentation for that?

[stiff cargo]

{
    find: ".LABEL_WITH_ONLINE_STATUS",
    replacement: {
        match: /(src:null!=\i\?(\i).{1,50}"aria-hidden":!0)/,
        replace: "$1,\"style\":{\"--large-avatar-url\":\"url(\"+$2.replace(/\\d+$/,$self.settings.store.imgSize)+\")\"}"
    }
}

this feels cursed

[cobalt radish]

from what I got so far, I need to compile the whole to add a plugin?

[steady knot]

yep

[cobalt radish]

oh, nice, I think I managed it

is there a mor epractical way to re-deploy and test that does not require restarting the client?

or I need to build and inject every time?

[dull magnet]

build yes inject no

but use pnpm watch command

[woeful oak]

is tsx supported for plugins?

[dull magnet]

check the existing plugins and you'll see

[woeful oak]

ok thanks

[cobalt radish]

oh, nice, thanks

[cobalt radish]

yes, I have seen a few in the repo

@dull magnet is there a documentation for development?

Im trying to get familiar with it by looking at how some plugins work, but it would be really nice if there was somewhere to check how it works

who wrote that?

[stiff cargo]

https://github.com/Vendicated/Vencord/blob/main/docs/1_INSTALLING.md

that helps

[cobalt radish]

that one helps even more xD

thanks

[dull magnet]

me

[clear parcel]

yk discord has a snowflake generator made for this

[dull magnet]

that's some of the oldest code in vencord

https://github.com/Vendicated/Vencord/commit/02ed954ce4f9a78478c9f93ff22fa7863917879f

back then you still had to install from source

without gui installer

[clear parcel]

ven so silly

[clear parcel]

should keep it like that

less support

[dull magnet]

omg cute

[dull magnet]

that was within the first month of vencord existing

shortly after swc explosion

[clear parcel]

what if i change the bundler again

[dull magnet]

take me back https://github.com/Vendicated/Vencord/tree/c3ff092162ef1a98bea78213e473be3207998d72/src/plugins

[clear parcel]

horror

[cobalt radish]

I need some help, im still trying to understand how to do a patch
from what I got the replacement is where you can make so it repalces a piece of code with a different code, for which I can do $self.someFunction so it points to a function in the plugin file

correct?

but what is the find section of the patch?

Im trying to do something basic, to find the text input and add a onClick to it as a way to learn how to do it

[dull magnet]

NAAAH

[cobalt radish]

I tried this repalcement:

replacement: {
                match: /(parent: r,)/,
                replace: "$1,onClick:()=> $self.testHandler();",
            }

and I think it is about right, but I don't know what to put on the find

[sand ember]

you search for the module that interests you via find, then you modify it via mach and replace

[sand ember]

so in find you add something specific to the module with text input, but be aware that some things can randomly change (eg. variable names)

[cobalt radish]

Im absolutely new to coding things for Vencord tho, so, pardon my noobness, Im experienced in coding in general tho
How am I able to figure out in which module is the target of my patch?

for example, I want to add a onClick to the text field, what should I do to figure out what to place on the find in order to get the correct module?

[sand ember]

first of all you need to find the module manually. aither bress ctrl+shift+f ind devtools and search for things that are related to what you are searching for, or use react devtools or breakpoints

[cobalt radish]

yes, I think I found it with the react dev tools

[sand ember]

now you need to find something specific to this module that isn't in any other modules so vencord will patch only this module and not some other random ones

[cobalt radish]

oh, so, the find is just a string unique to that module to ensure the following repalcement does not target the wrong module, is that it?

[sand ember]

yes

[cobalt radish]

makes sense

I'll try thankyou so much =)

@sand ember when it is successfully patched, are the patched code visible when I navigate to it via the dev tools?

[sand ember]

idk

[cobalt radish]

fair

[amber mantle]

cumcord never forget

[dull magnet]

yes but you can just use vencord companion (see pins) to test right from vscode

[silent edge]

this is a banger file name

[jovial field]

does anybody know the different values for status (e.g. online, idle) when using FluxDispatcher for "USER_SETTINGS_PROTO_UPDATE"?
edit: i've tried various values, like 'online', 'idle', 'dnd' but suspect it might use different integers hmm

[dull magnet]

show what you tried

[jovial field]

function updateStatus(status: any) {
    const desiredStatus = status ?? settings.store.chosenStatus;
    const proto = UserSettingsActionCreators.PreloadedUserSettingsActionCreators.ProtoClass.create();
    proto.status = desiredStatus;
    if (desiredStatus !== typeof undefined) {
        FluxDispatcher.dispatch({
            type: "USER_SETTINGS_PROTO_UPDATE",
            local: true,
            partial: true,
            settings: {
                type: 1,
                proto: {
                    status: desiredStatus,
                }
            }
        });
    }
}

unsure how to format with color 😭

settings.store.chosenStatus is either 'online', 'idle' or 'dnd'

[cobalt radish]

Will check that, thx for the help

[dull magnet]

```ts

anyway dont do that lol

react devtools inspect this

see what it does

[frosty otter]

this also works (credits to vee)

const setStatus = findByCode(".USER_STATUS_UPDATED")
setStatus("dnd", null, { location: { section: "Account Panel", object: "Avatar"} });

[jovial field]

don't use this kinda function? this isn't for animated text status or anything

woah i'll check it out

[dull magnet]

if you help people find it themselves instead of just spoonfeeding solution, they won't have to ask again in the future

[dull magnet]

no, your code is just very wrong. you are doing very strange stuff there that's far off the right track

whenever you need to find something, think about whether there is a ui element inside discord that does what you want

in your case, you want tochange the status programatically, so you need to look at what this does

so you need to inspect that element with React Devtools to see what it does onClick / onSelect, etc...

here's an example for finding the function to join voice channels

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/196782758045941760/1239047506831216680/Kooha-2024-05-12-04-47-57.mp4?ex=6642292a&is=6640d7aa&hm=6a2570ae1d2b2986fdde96159ce0033fc5c594c8f375243358c4d47a685ccdc0&

just adapt to your use and you'll easily find most stuff

[jovial field]

holy moly that is very informative, i will make sure to use this strategy. i have used the sources and components tab until now, but i see how the functions work now as well

i didn't understand how the breakpoints were of use at first, thanks for the help! ska_capoonod

the status picker is a little silly because the elements collapse in the components tab when the different status UI elements disappear from view

[dull magnet]

yeah its tough to inspect that

you can use the custom status option instead :p

it opens a modal with save button

[dull magnet]

breakpoints are your friend :3

[worthy frost]

would it be possible to automatically insert text into the message textinput if so, how?

[dull magnet]

see how QuickMention plugin does it

[worthy frost]

i.. forgot that wasnt a vanilla dc thing, thanks lol

[worthy frost]

where are the did-you-know splash texts stored?

Looking for feedback, is this patch robust enough?

[amber mantle]

horror

you can just enable ignoreactivity and turn it off for re-volt

what is skulling me

[amber mantle]

vban @fresh raptor selfbot lmaoooo

[shrewd tundra]

Done!

[whole cosmos]

lmaoo

[whole cosmos]

True

[amber mantle]

i did it a couple days ago

[whole cosmos]

But what if you are a revolt gamer and use revolt and discord?

[amber mantle]

wdym

it wont show (assuming you have their rich presence off lool)

[whole cosmos]

Mmm, true

Regardless, i want to get some feedback because it's my first time learning how to patch thing

even if i can just disable the activity

[dull magnet]

don't capture the entire match in a group

you can use $& to get the entire match

[whole cosmos]

Oh yeah, you're right! thank you

{
  match: /setObservedGamesCallback\(.{1,2},(.{1,2})=>{/,
