clicking on a message?

[silk sorrel]

it immediately updates the message component if it's currently rendered on screen
if that wasn't a forced behavior, you would have to click away or interact with the message to trigger a rerender

[warm elk]

Hey! I'm currently working on an EditUsers plugin for Vencord (ported from BetterDiscord) and I'm looking for testers.

[obsidian shell]

send your github repository here if you want any help

you don’t need to go to DMs or anything

[tacit locust]

Ohh awesome thank you

Is there any way to edit the content of messages on screen?

For example by taking the actual text of the message and scrambling with words or something

The actual operation on the words don't matter just the ability to read them and change the text shown

[tacit locust]

not to be pushy but i would like if someone available could answer :)

[quick zephyr]

yeah pretty possible

[tacit locust]

oh amazing

how's it done?

despair

[quick zephyr]

find: "!1,hideSimpleEmbedContent",

you want to patch c

c is the message content

[tacit locust]

not sure i understand lol

where is this in the api?

[quick zephyr]

you have some reading to do if you dont understand

it's the find for a patch

search up patches

[humble tulip]

the reading is pins btw

The top pin has a guide that's kinda outdated in terms of its specific example but the concept is still valid

[tacit locust]

to be fair i did start yesterday

[quick zephyr]

you can look through all the current plugins to see how patches work

[verbal granite]

Since discord is minified, to what extend is writing patches just reverse engineering what does what?

[quick zephyr]

you're writing regex to match the minified code and replace it

[verbal granite]

ofcofc, but how do you find the minified code in the first place, cus ive been having a tough time with that ;-;

wait theres a video omagah

[tacit locust]

? where?

[verbal granite]

#🧩-plugin-development message

[tacit locust]

danke

[verbal granite]

Bitteschöönn :3

[quick zephyr]

1. Go to settings
2. Enable react inspector
3. Full restart Discord. Tray > Quit
4. Launch Discord
5. Reload Discord (ctrl + r)
6. Now that it is installed, every time you full restart Discord, you will need to reload after. It only attaches after a reload.
7. ctrl + shift + i -> component inspector

[tacit locust]

jesus that looks like a maze

how are you supposed to find anything

[verbal granite]

im fairly certain we won't have to do too much/any patches for the plugin we wanna do

[tacit locust]

i know lol

butt i'd like to make other stuff in the fututr

[quick zephyr]

break points, inspecting multiple layers in the hierarchy, and using Sadan's dev companion in vscode which actually lets you go through the call chain for patches and finds

[tacit locust]

oh nice

thanks!

[quick zephyr]

https://github.com/sadan4/vc-userDevTools/
https://github.com/sadan4/VencordCompanion

[humble tulip]

You also just get more familiar with it over time and it becomes less of a maze

Sometimes it's still a maze though

[tacit locust]

weird

[humble tulip]

Searching for the css classes on the component you want to patch can be a good way of finding things too

[tacit locust]

i followed all the steps but all i got was this

[humble tulip]

For react dev tools?

You'll need to full restart discord and then also ctrl+r reload for it to show up

[tacit locust]

i did that

[quick zephyr]

you probably didnt actually fully close discord

you probably just clicked X and it minimized to tray

[tacit locust]

nope i fully closed it

[quick zephyr]

you need a dev build

pnpm build --dev
or
pnpm watch --dev

[tacit locust]

ah.

that did the trick

thanks

[tacit locust]

regex

[humble tulip]

Doesn't matter but watch already includes --dev so you don't need to add it on

[quick zephyr]

ah I dont ever use watch lol

[humble tulip]

Me neither lol

Build and Reload my beloved

[quick zephyr]

up arrow + enter + ctrl-r my beloved

[silk sorrel]

do you guys not actually use watch 😭

[quick zephyr]

watch is insane behavior

I don't want the mf tweaking at every character I mistype

like let me do my thing and reload on my own terms

thank you very much

[silk sorrel]

watch is so goated cuz I just hit ctrl S and reload discord

also using jetbrains for vencord is something I had not ever even considered

[humble tulip]

Does vscode save whenever you click off the file?

IDEA does and I don't want it reloading every time I do that lol

But I do like the autosave

[silk sorrel]

nah at least not with the default config

[tacit locust]

i feel like i'm missing something really obvious lol

same goes for my custom plugin, putting it in a folder and renaming the file index.tsx doesn't make it show up

this is a really elementary question i know but i'm following the instructions exactly

[silk sorrel]

are you using vesktop or vencord

[tacit locust]

vencord

[quick zephyr]

how is your folder named userDevTools

if you cloned off the repo I sent it should be named vc-userDevTools

[tacit locust]

i renamed it from vc-userDevTools

[silk sorrel]

idk what the instructions are but try running pnpm run inject ig

[tacit locust]

i did that lol but i'll try again

[tacit locust]

changed it back lmao

[tacit locust]

same issue

am following this https://docs.vencord.dev/installing/custom-plugins/

[quick zephyr]

did you actually git clone vencord or are you just trying to do this in the vencord folder created by a normal install

[tacit locust]

i did git clone vencord

[tacit locust]

it works fine when it's not in a folder

[silk sorrel]

wtf

[tacit locust]

oh so i'm not dumb lovely

love it when it's not my fault

[quick zephyr]

this is most likely your fault somehow

just not sure how

[tacit locust]

Yeah probably lol

[quick zephyr]

you rebuild in dev and reload?

[tacit locust]

Yep

[humble tulip]

You're not using any relative paths for imports or anything that are broken by introducing a folder?

I feel like that'd still appear but error anyway but I dunno what else to think

[tacit locust]

Nope

And no errors are thrown in console from what I can see

[quick zephyr]

why would devcompanion not be showing up tho

[humble tulip]

Surely the only other thing could be the build script not checking subfolders in userplugins

[quick zephyr]

if you didnt name it userplugins but some weird unicode abomination

zws hiddin within

[tacit locust]

But surely then it wouldn't compile my plugin outside of the folder?

[quick zephyr]

are those the only 5 things in the folder

[tacit locust]

no theres the types folder with stuff in it too

[quick zephyr]

guess it wasnt made to be

[tacit locust]

Could it be a system error?

I'm running Linux mint

[quick zephyr]

im on cachy

no errors in console?

make sure it isnt filtering or searching anything

[tacit locust]

Nothing out of the ordinary

hang on i think this second one is new

i don't think thats it tho

no vencord errors

[humble tulip]

If you launch discord from command line does anything stand out in there? There's logs from the native process in that one too

It's harder to read though, kinda spammy

[tacit locust]

not sure how to do that lul lemme figure it out

nope nothing in particular

wait does this mean anything?

[humble tulip]

I don't get that line on windows but I also don't think it's from vencord so

I think you're just not allowed to make plugins

[tacit locust]

Why would that be lol

[normal wagon]

show ur index.tsx

[quick zephyr]

cause it's not working

[humble tulip]

I'm just joking

[normal wagon]

u probably messed up define

[quick zephyr]

oma

you need to backread before talking

it's not even working for a git clone of sadan's dev companion

[normal wagon]

ah

😭 he's probably building it to the wrong dir i bet

[tacit locust]

She

And I haven't done anything but run pnpm build --dev and pnpm install

And as I say

My custom plugin works fine when it's not in a folder

[normal wagon]

whats the name of ur custom plugin when its contained within the folder

[tacit locust]

Index.tsx

[normal wagon]

and no build errors interesting and murphy mentioned how even sadan's dev companion is not working

[tacit locust]

Yes.

[normal wagon]

what about the actual folder where u have that all placed

is it named "userplugins" within the src?

[tacit locust]

^

Yes

[normal wagon]

vencord > src > userplugins

interesting

[quick zephyr]

where did you clone vencord to

this some sort of permission issue?

[humble tulip]

Do you have any empty folders in your userplugins folder?

I remember that caused an issue in the past

Or maybe it was an empty index.ts in there, something like that

[tacit locust]

My desktop

[tacit locust]

Nope and nope

[humble tulip]

You'd see it error at build anyway

Dunno, I'm stumped

[tacit locust]

I'll try putting it inside plugins instead of userplugins

[tacit locust]

what the fuck

i only put dev companion in plugins but both of them now work??????

[humble tulip]

That dev companion is the regular one that appears when you build with --dev unless you renamed it

[tacit locust]

userdevcompanion is also enabled

[humble tulip]

Sick

[tacit locust]

but seriously

what the fuck

i moved it back into userplugins and it now magically works

https://tenor.com/view/this-fucking-sucks-crying-girl-tears-of-joy-clapping-danny-devito-gif-12766761978490409957

[tacit locust]

i'm struggling to understand what /i does in the regex?

or actually this entire chunk of the regex in the example

[tropic ice]

I forget exactly what \i gets replaced with, but it's any valid character in a variable
and the rest is normal regex
use https://regex101.com to explain regex (and also test it and see all the tokens)

oh wow they changed the look

and backend apparently

[humble tulip]

Yeah \i just matches variable names, so by doing something like src:\i.url to match src:xj.url, you avoid the match breaking if Discord's minifier decides to change it to src:ey.url

[tropic ice]

ok found what it converts to

that should probably be pinned

[tacit locust]

ah got it

why does it need the greedy expression?

[quick zephyr]

wdym?

[tacit locust]

the {0,400}

[quick zephyr]

wheres that

[quick zephyr]

ah here

can I see full line?

context matters

[quick zephyr]

so after src:<variable> there's 400 characters or less of stuff we don't care about and that manually matching would be a nightmare for long term maintainability. but we need stuff on both sides of the 400 characters but dont care whats in the middle so we just say "anything up to 400" and we cap it at some number close to the actual number of characters so it doesnt accidentally match something too far

[tacit locust]

ohhh

and why does it match that arbitrary string in the code block?

[quick zephyr]

wdym

are you asking why \i matches <variable>?

[tacit locust]

here is the referenced code block. why does it match for primaryEmoji, src:\i when the code they want to patch is fourish lines below?

[quick zephyr]

cause they are capturing the variable src:(<variable>) now <variable> is usable in the replacement as $1

the .primaryEmoji, is to anchor it to that instance of src: because src: is a very common occurrence in code

[tacit locust]

ohh that' so interesting

[quick zephyr]

did you truncate the code there or is that how it looks

cause if thats how it looks the 400 is way too much imo lol

[tacit locust]

so the idea is to bring the src variable down to that code section

https://gist.github.com/sunnniee/28bd595f8c07992f6d03289911289ba8

am reading this

[quick zephyr]

ok they probably truncated it for the example yeah

[tacit locust]

but they're adding a thing instead of replacing it

[quick zephyr]

yes in this case

[tacit locust]

what if i want to make $1 be something that isn't in the code block?

[quick zephyr]

the $& means "everything the match matches regardless of capture groups"

[quick zephyr]

then you either change the match to capture it or if you meant something stable you come up with you just write the text

[tacit locust]

capture it how?

[quick zephyr]

exploring existing plugin patches with dev companion would be helpful

[tacit locust]

sorry about all the questions i've never written regex before

will do

ah

[quick zephyr]

(capture and overwrite)
(?:dont capture but group this in the regex and overwrite it)
(?<=dont capture and put the replacement after this group, not overwriting it)
(?=dont capture and put the replacement before this group, not overwriting it)

[tacit locust]

thanks for the help!

[tacit locust]

can't for the life of me figure out where you found this

[quick zephyr]

from my own code

it was a nightmare to find when I was originally doing it

[tacit locust]

ohh

[quick zephyr]

https://github.com/Equicord/Equicord/blob/dev/src/plugins/textReplace/index.tsx#L270

[tacit locust]

i can't find the whole code snippet and there's nothing distinctive in the screenshot to match

[quick zephyr]

!1,hideSimpleEmbedContent is the unique bit

1 result

[tacit locust]

o wow

[quick zephyr]

top/bottom dont count, 2nd is the modified version of the 3rd

[tacit locust]

thank you so much

[quick zephyr]

embeds will still render so you'd need to handle that differently if that matters

[tacit locust]

not for now thanks

[tacit locust]

the function i call in my patch needs to be async because it calls a function that returns a promise, but when i make it async discord shoots itself in the head, what am i supposed to do?

can i make an async patch??

[vast karma]

Not without also patching everything that calls it, and everything that calls that

So practically, no

[tacit locust]

fuck

is there a workaround?

[vast karma]

Depends on what you need the async for

If it's in a react component, use a hook

[tacit locust]

waiting on a promise to be fulfilled

[vast karma]

That tells absolutely nothing y'know

[tacit locust]

good point lol

[vast karma]

You want to use async to do async, oh my

[tacit locust]

i'm waiting on the decrypt function from subtle crypto

which returns an arraybuffer promise as previously stated

[vast karma]

Wat, why would decryption be async

Webworker or something?

[tacit locust]

prolly just cuz it takes time to decrypt stuff

i don't know how it works under the hood lol

[quick zephyr]

you tryna encrypt messages? lol

[vapid oar]

nope SubtleCrypto is async

[tacit locust]

Yep lol

[vapid oar]

but yea it really depends on what you're trying to do

[tacit locust]

Encryption is all done

[quick zephyr]

why

[tacit locust]

Why not?

[quick zephyr]

is it for actual protection or protection against normies. cause anyone with half a brain and access to your pc could just type ctrl+shift+i and type the code to fetch the message you're visually hiding in the chat

[tacit locust]

what?

no the message is encrypted before it's sent

[quick zephyr]

ah

so you just dont want discord to see it

sus

or anyone else I guess

other than receiver

[tacit locust]

it's the same way whatsapp group chats work lmao

how is that sus

it just seemed like a fun project and i'm not sure i like what you're insinuating

[tacit locust]

that is how encryption works yes

[vast karma]

Just use a platform with builtin encryption tbh, rather than shoehorning it into one that doesn't

[tacit locust]

i'm not expecting to get genuine security out of this

[verbal granite]

We used .then()and edited the message using the updateMessage api function

[normal wagon]

well there's plenty of existing plugins that use advanced algorithms to generate encrypted messages and decrypt it when received

both users have to have the plugin

[humble tulip]

Doesn't hurt to make it yourself as a learning excercise

[normal wagon]

well honestly it's really not that difficult at all

intercepting received, and sent encryption / decryption depending on author and having a context menu patch on user to enable that

i just don't see the use case in this mainly because the other author you're sending / receiving from has to have the plugin enabled also

[tacit locust]

Why does everything have to have a point?

Can I not just do a thing for the sake of doing it?

[tacit locust]

It is my first project

Why would I do something harder

This is plenty difficult for me

[normal wagon]

i'm not challenging you to do something more difficult i'm just saying it's an easy task

[normal wagon]

yes of course i'm just saying between users you'd have to have them install the same user plugin as you

[tacit locust]

I know that

[verbal granite]

Bro you aint gotta try to aura farm like that 🥶

[tacit locust]

what is classname needed for?

[vapid oar]

so devs can specify custom classnames

[tacit locust]

what does that mean?

[vapid oar]

custom css classes

[tacit locust]

ahh

[vapid oar]

react uses className because class is a reserved js keyword

[tacit locust]

got it

i hate css

fuck this modal stuff is so complicated

[tacit locust]

got it working!

where on earth is this variable defined???

i can't find it anywhere

[verbal granite]

Isnt that not just some styling property? I looked it up, stack overflow says this

HTML uses color whereas SVG uses fill and stroke. You can get fill or stroke to use the value of the color CSS property by using the value currentColor e.g. fill="currentColor"

[tacit locust]

that would make sense but the translate icon turns green once enabled

so something must be changing it

[verbal granite]

I think the currentColor value sets the color of the path to the color css attribute. So maybe check there?

[tacit locust]

ah that would make sense

found it

[verbal granite]

[quick zephyr]

if anyone could send this in console and lmk what it says for you that'd be great.
more people the merrier.

await Vencord.Webpack.Common.RestAPI.get({
    url: "/quests/@me"
}).then(r => r.body.quests[0].traffic_metadata_raw)

[tropic ice]

EAE=

[quick zephyr]

bro is E 💔

[tropic ice]

what does it mean

[quick zephyr]

trying to figure that out. running theory is rollout order for new quests. idk though

[marble sable]

EAI=

[tropic ice]

why do you have E as 4
Shouldn't it be this?

[marble sable]

what is the proper way to see if a plugin idea would be likely to be accepted? CONTRIBUTING.md says to open a request and say you want to work on it but requests are closed now

[quick zephyr]

cause gemini said so

[marble sable]

no EAE= is 10 01

[quick zephyr]

idk how it got E to 4

insane

this was 3 pro model too

none of my alts are EAE smh

testing if it's rollout order is gonna be annoying

[tropic ice]

what isn't it 16 01

[marble sable]

take it up with whatever cryptii.com is

[tropic ice]

oh in hex

mine's in decimal

[marble sable]

ah

[marble sable]

whatever i'll just make it and if it's rejected so be it

i'd use it anyway

[tropic ice]

you could say what it is here

[marble sable]

would add giphy alongside tenor for gifs

[tropic ice]

that way if it already exists or something, someone can say

[tropic ice]

there's an experiment for that

[marble sable]

really

[tropic ice]

dev://experiment/2025-10-gif-providers-multi-treatment

[marble sable]

yeah i see

cool

[tropic ice]

giphy is 1, klipy is 2

according to some random person in discord previews

[marble sable]

they're right

[bronze cosmos]

Hello, is anyone familiar with the process of patching the router component(s) and/or rendering a component on a 'custom' route?

I have reviewed many brief discussions on the topic in this server, including dated examples and resources.

If anyone has a current working example or preferably resources for learning how to investigate discord's code to find what I am looking for and patch it, that would be appreciated.

[vital tree]

does this only show up in vencord

[inner monolith]

Would vencord accept a plugin that rewrites the entirety of the discord audio stack to increase quality?

I've written up one that uses ffmpeg for encoding/decoding and it matches the original audio much closer

before

after

white line = original audio

red line = recieved audio

(tested through a loopback on two clients, one unmodified, one with the custom voice stack)

audio is sent through the custom stack and recieved through the default client

also, i discovered that audio loudness is decreased by exactly 6db at discords end

boosting it by 6db before sending cancels the offset

I'm aware there used to be issues with some plugins that enable stereo and such which never got accepted into vencord

[inner monolith]

actually, this is a more accurate representation of the default audio

this is with the default audio artificially boosted by 6db

[viscid marsh]

How does the PR process work? I've had https://github.com/Vendicated/Vencord/pull/4014 up for a week now and I don't think a single person has actually taken a look at it yet lol

[tropic ice]

the embed only does, yes

[hushed loom]

What pr review process

[viscid marsh]

that's what it feels like lmao

[valid portal]

Right so, I think I've taken things too far.

[valid portal]

maybe we have.

[tropic ice]

no
running doom on something is never too far

[valid portal]

u right

[broken storm]

This should be merged, I’d use it

[vapid oar]

is this jsdos

[valid portal]

Yes

[obsidian shell]

there’s no delay for prs you just wait

[valid portal]

uhhh have you ever wanted to render graphs and make complex algebraic equations in a discord command palette?

no? well now you can

[dull magnet]

why are we making DiscordOS

[valid portal]

yes

[iron epoch]

yes

[signal goblet]

I actually dont know why he thinks im gonna approve this

[valid portal]

oh ur gonna

[obsidian shell]

you will

Equicord has ten times more useless plugins

[signal goblet]

who is gonna use doom in discord 😭

just add geforce now atp

[obsidian shell]

add it as hidden true so you can say equicord runs doom

[signal goblet]

lmfao

discord running doom before gta 6

[viscid marsh]

Coming back to working on a new plugin after a few months.. when I have the plugin included in the build and inject, every patch errors on start with the same error and Vencord fails to initialize - any ideas what it could be that's causing it?

[dull magnet]

update ur vencord

[viscid marsh]

I'm pretty sure my branch is up to date

is 12da7a08fbbfe118ffdb293488745cc991c1c8a6 the latest commit? bump to 1.14.3?

for clarity, if I remove my two plugin files and build and inject, it works, adding the two plugin files back in and I get all those errors and Vencord doesn't initialize

[viscid marsh]

ah that did end up being it, weird I swear I didn't see any new commits

vscode being buggy as usual 😔

[broken storm]

Vencord: v1.14.1 • af708b4 (Dev) - 4 Mar 2026
Client: stable ~ Vesktop v1.6.5
Platform: MacIntel
⚠️ Vencord DevBuild

Oh yeah then 1.14.3 should be decently up to date, mine's a couple months old

[sharp crane]

Hi, could anyone review https://github.com/Vendicated/Vencord/pull/3885 ?

[prisma imp]

hi, what is the canonical way to get into a bundle? I want to see what the datastructre is for dave voice packets is as they get parsed

[viscid marsh]

dumb question, how would I know what fields are valid for embeds? I tried setting author.url, but apparently that's not valid. I'm just going off of what messageLinkEmbeds uses, const Embed = findComponentLazy(m => m.prototype?.renderSuppressButton);

[humble tulip]

I'd just use ViewRaw on a message with an embed in it

Oh the component

Then I guess react dev tools on an embed or use that find and see what the component it finds uses in its code

Places like this where it destructures props are your best bet

[humble tulip]

This is probably still valid though because I assume that embed object is one of the props

[viscid marsh]

I could never figure out how to get React DevTools to show up for me lol - I see it in %appdata%\Vencord\ExtensionCache, do I still need to create an extensions folder and put it in there like for BetterDiscord?

(obviously I have it enabled in the Vencord settings)

[humble tulip]

You also have to ctrl+r discord after fully restarting for it to appear, if you've done that I guess delete the folder in extensioncache and let it try again?

[viscid marsh]

I'll try the latter

nop

skill issue ig ¯_(ツ)_/¯

let me try on vanilla vencord

still no lol wtf

I don't need to be in dev mode or whatever, do I?

[quick zephyr]

yes

[viscid marsh]

I get no errors, devcompanion starts up correctly... surely I'm just doing something wrong here? would it not work on canary for some reason?

nothing on stable

[quick zephyr]

1. pnpm build --dev
2. Tray > Right Click Discord > Quit
3. Launch Discord
4. ctrl + r in Discord once launched

[viscid marsh]

reading docs is hard.... it wasn't working with pnpm build --watch

thanks

[quick zephyr]

isnt the watch command pnpm watch

which implictly uses --dev

[viscid marsh]

uhhh

To use it you also need to compile Vencord with DEV (aka pnpm build --watch or pnpm buildWeb --watch) and enable the "DevCompanion" plugin. Then just start Discord

[prisma imp]

hi, i want to analyze how the discord client responds to a given RPC command; is there a way to dig into the webpacks of the native side like you can on the browser side

im familiar with electron's structure but not how to debug the other runtime

[prisma imp]

alright i got it (thanks to @modern cave), does anybody know of a module that I can use to get a list of current users in the current voice session

[quick zephyr]

Stores.VoiceStateStore.getVoiceStatesForChannel("1234")

[prisma imp]

i was planning on just hooking whenever a user joined and then querying the channel but I have a better idea I'm just going to patch

[quick zephyr]

Stores.VoiceStateStore.getVoiceStatesForChannel(Stores.VoiceStateStore.getCurrentClientVoiceChannelId())

patch what

[prisma imp]

createUser on the type with the first couple lines

            class O extends f.A {
                mediaEngineConnectionId = `Native-${N++}`;
                goLiveSourceIdentifier;
                selfVideo = !1;
                codecs = [];
                videoEncoderFallbackPending = !1;
                videoDecoderFallbackSent = new Set;
                desktopDegradationPreference = (0,
                g.lE)().DegradationPreference.MAINTAIN_FRAMERATE;

although I'm not quite sure how I could select for a patch

[quick zephyr]

why are you patching that though

[prisma imp]

oh to run some logic on every user that joins a call

[quick zephyr]

FluxDispatcher

then just filter for whatever you need

[prisma imp]

what is FluxDispatcher

haven't heard of that type

[quick zephyr]

every time something happens an event is sent out

thats how you listen for or send out events

[prisma imp]

could you send any documentation/sample code regarding that? i believe you're right that it would be a better idea to listen there instead of patching the type i found before

[quick zephyr]

VcNarrator looks like it listens for voice states

use that as an example

[prisma imp]

gotcha

this is separate but is r.A in this line a module?

                    if (null != n && r.A.setLocalPan(t, n.left, n.right),

i haven't looked at much expanded webpack code so I'm not familiar with the codegen for accessing modules looks like

[quick zephyr]

[prisma imp]

          , r = n(827343)

[prisma imp]

is n maybe the generated require?

[prisma imp]

how do you get findByProps in the console's scope btw I tried to do it with the esModule import but that didn't work

just a cjs require?

[quick zephyr]

Vencord.Webpack.find<thing> or enable console shortcuts plugin

[prisma imp]

alr i did the latter i got it now

thanks

i noticed that in the dev array it was bigints for the snowflakes instead of strings; are userIds normally stored as BigInts?

[quick zephyr]

discord only ever provides snowflakes as strings

vencord just uses bigints for the dev array

[prisma imp]

makes sense

[quick zephyr]

take it up with V

[prisma imp]

alright thanks you've been a huge help

i think i get the flux structure now

[quick zephyr]

you can inspect events in-client in here

[prisma imp]

i noticed that a while ago when poking around good to know it's the same system

does findByPropsLazy have a significant profile? i.e should I hold onto the result or is it performant to call repeatedly

[quick zephyr]

uh it'll just wait til you use the object for the first time to resolve it

[prisma imp]

oh i see

[quick zephyr]

so you can define StoreName = findByPropsLazy("function") and it wont try to resolve it on boot just when you first use it

then it'll never look it up again for that session

[hushed loom]

use findStore for stores tho

[quick zephyr]

yeah

[prisma imp]

i was under the impression it needed to be called at runtime didn't realize that it wrapped the return value with a lazy getter

that's much more ergonomic

[hushed loom]

for the most part you should avoid findByProps and use findByCode

[quick zephyr]

findByProps my goat tho

you know what broke when QuestsStore became QuestStore? findStore("QuestsStore")

you know what didnt? findByPropsLazy("claimedQuests");

[prisma imp]

at least for the module I'm targeting it's had setLocalPan and setLocalVolume exposed since at least 2021

so I don't think it's going anywhere

(i'm porting an older plugin)

[quick zephyr]

horror?

const findDefaultSounds = findLazy(module => module.resolve && module.id && module.keys().some(key => key.endsWith(".mp3")), false);
...
    defaultSounds ??= (findDefaultSounds.keys() || []).map(key => {
        const match = key.match(/((?:\w|-)+)\.mp3$/);
        return match ? match[1] : null;
    }).filter(Boolean) as string[];

[prisma imp]

ah the setLocalPan/getLocalPan updates internal state but the internal state doesn't actually influence the media mixing

shaaaame

https://docs.discord.com/developers/topics/rpc#setuservoicesettings

so this RPC method must just not work ebcause I'm using the same mechanism

i confirmed that I was actually writing it with getLocalPan

i guess i just have to patch back in panning

does anybody know how to get the current MediaEngine? (or rather, the methodology i should use to identify some internal tooling that would help me identify the method that could get me the current instance of MediaEngine)

[quick zephyr]

Stores.MediaEngineStore.getMediaEngine()
?

[prisma imp]

sounds right

oh weird actually

im in Vesktop and it initalized MediaEngineWebRTC

shouldn't it initalize MediaEngineNative?

i'm not sure how it chooses

[prisma imp]

tried it on an inject and even there with a MediaEngineNative it doesn't work

sad

made a draft pr: https://github.com/Vendicated/Vencord/pull/4039

if anybody here has messed with MediaEngineNative before and would know where to start with manipulating the mixer please ping me

[hushed loom]

what if a module exports something like

export const resolve = 1;
export const id = 1;
export const keys = null;

you would typeerror

why not use Obejct.Keys

[quick zephyr]

good thing they dont

[quick zephyr]

that doesnt work for me

[hushed loom]

INSANE

[quick zephyr]

thats how they all do it

2318 modules with keys

well actually only 8 do it like that

all 2318 with a keys export though are non null

all with a .resolve and .id do do it that way

[vital tree]

This should be pinned

[bleak falcon]

Any idea how to fix this? tried using a native.ts with a simple fetch in it but doesn't work either

Should i use a proxy ?

From

async function uploadWithProgress(uiId: string, file: File, partNum: number, totalParts: number): Promise<string> {
    const serverRes = await fetch("https://api.gofile.io/servers", { method: "GET" });
    const serverData = await serverRes.json();
    const server = serverData.data.servers[0].name;
    // const server = "store-eu-par-7"

    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
        const session = activeSessions.get(uiId);
        if (session?.cancelled) return reject(new Error("Cancelled"));

        const xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
        if (session) session.xhr = xhr;

        const form = new FormData();
        form.append("file", file);

        let lastPercent = -1;

        xhr.upload.addEventListener("progress", (e) => {
            if (session?.cancelled) return xhr.abort();
            if (e.lengthComputable) {
                const percent = Math.round((e.loaded / e.total) * 100);
                const overallPercent = totalParts > 1 
                    ? Math.round(((partNum - 1) / totalParts) * 100 + (percent / totalParts))
                    : percent;

                if (overallPercent !== lastPercent) {
                    ProgressUI.update(uiId, overallPercent);
                    lastPercent = overallPercent;
                }
            }
        });

        xhr.onreadystatechange = () => {
            if (xhr.readyState === 4) {
                if (session?.cancelled) return reject(new Error("Cancelled"));
                if (xhr.status === 200) resolve(JSON.parse(xhr.responseText).data.downloadPage);
                else reject(new Error(`Gofile Status ${xhr.status}`));
            }
        };

        xhr.onerror = () => reject(new Error("Network Error"));
        xhr.onabort = () => reject(new Error("Cancelled"));

        xhr.open("POST", `https://${server}.gofile.io/contents/uploadfile`);
        xhr.send(form);
    });
}

-# 3rd line fails too

[vital tree]

you can't the error says it

also what's https://best.discord.media ?

[tacit locust]

how do i store data permanently?

without being directly editable by the user in settings

[normal wagon]

DataStore

[tacit locust]

thanks!

where do i find that so i don't have to go digging around lol

found it :3

[dull magnet]

if its small data, settings api

if its big data, DataStore

[tacit locust]

how come there's a difference?

[obsidian shell]

settings API is synced over vencloud
datastore isn't

[tacit locust]

ah, amazing

[dull magnet]

because settings is for small configuration data

and has tight storage limit in both cloud sync and browsers

[tacit locust]

ah, what's the limit?

[dull magnet]

no consistent limit

<5mb

[tacit locust]

5mb??

epic

thats way more than enough

[broken storm]

“I ran doom in vencord’s cloud storage API”

[tacit locust]

just as a sanity check, this means create a second settings file right?

so i can have settings that don't show up in the settings bit of the plugin

[valid portal]

don't give me ideas

[quick zephyr]

hidden: true

technically mutable by the user through console but probably wont be

[tacit locust]

okay yeah that makes more sense.

thank you

[broken storm]

Uh oh

[inner monolith]

i rewrote it in rust and implemented it through a .node NAPI file

[tacit locust]

how come typing only shows up in TextInput if i set the value to a setting?

[dull magnet]

?

[tacit locust]

wait hang on

i figured it out lol

is there any way to do a text input in a modal that doesn't update per-letter typed and instead all at once, like with a "submit" button?

[dull magnet]

why

what for

[tacit locust]

because i want to run a function on the completed text and running it every time a new character is input or deleted is a waste of resources and would cause lag

[dull magnet]

what does the function do

[tacit locust]

PBKDF2

which is a fairly resource-intensive function

[dull magnet]

why tf are u implementing crypto in discord 😭

[tacit locust]

because i want to

[dull magnet]

just dont run it on change

[tacit locust]

what do i do instead?

[dull magnet]

const [input, setInput] = useState("");

const onSubmit = () => {
    doSomething(input);
}

return (
    <div>
        <TextInput value={input} onChange={setInput} />
        <Button onClick={onSubmit}>Submit</Button>
    </div>
);

[tacit locust]

ah, awesome

[dull magnet]

you can also use a normal html form with proper submit button and onSubmit handler
or a ref

[tacit locust]

that's exactly what i'm looking for

[dull magnet]

but state gives u more control

[tacit locust]

i've never used react so i wouldn't have figured that out

thanks

[dull magnet]

there are plenty of react beginner courses online

might be advisable to do one to familiarise urself with it better first

[tacit locust]

will do

[dull magnet]

well if you just want to make a simple plugin u should be fine probably

but something like Vencord isn't the best environment to learn React haha

https://react.dev/learn

[broken storm]

Ah! Web dev jumpscare /j

[obsidian shell]

100% of my react knowledge comes from vencord because i’m not deranged enough to use react anywhere else

back when i didn’t know about predicates i would display: show ? "block" : "none"

[verbal granite]

Hey yall, what's considered to be a substantial contribution? I did a minor bug fix to the Translate plugin but idk if that's enough to add myself as a dev. Would be nice to get sum insight ^^

[tacit locust]

this is a bit of a dumb question but

how do i reset all the settings for my plugin?

idk where the file is lmao

[verbal granite]

until now I've just added something that sets them to the desired values when the plugin is loaded

[tacit locust]

no but like a full reset

[vast karma]

I think it's in LocalStorage

[tacit locust]

#TOTALSETTINGSDEATH

[vast karma]

Should be a storage tab in devtools

[tacit locust]

cheers

[humble tulip]

Changing the plugin name is also a quick way to get fresh settings just for testing

[dull magnet]

rename the plugin

[quaint cipher]

do you still need help with this there's two ways to do it

fetch from native would work and you can also force add the domain to the csp rules from native
*but idk if the latter is a good approach

there's also vencord api to request adding to csp but I don't like the prompt

[plush estuary]

hey everyone, needed some help with radio buttons not showing that its selected when i select an option until i hover over another option or just re-open the submenu
the purpose of the plugin is to stay a certain status until you join a VC
i also tried to convert it into a react component but was hit with this error: Error: Menu API only allows Items and groups of Items as children.

the code: https://pastes.dev/Yg7KUHuDJy

also tried asking gemini (yeah i know no ai slop and stuff but i figured if i could solve it myself, yay) and it gave a component solution which failed and then was just adding random ids to the radiobuttongroup so that was no help either

EDIT:
thought this might be needed, when i select an option, it does exactly what it needs to but the UI just doesn't show it as selected until i refresh the menu

[tacit locust]

Bumping this for Leah

[quick zephyr]

Feature addition pretty much. Then it's up to maintainers if the feature was big enough. So no a bugfix isn't really enough. Unless the bug was somehow fundimental enough you had to rewrite a bunch of the plugin. But you said minor bug so probably not.

[verbal granite]

Thanks, good to know. My time will come tho >:D

[tacit locust]

is there anyway to get around settings.store returning a proxy? it's a huge pain as i can't figure out how to unwrap it which i need to do

[humble tulip]

settings.plain

[dull magnet]

bro using webstorm

[dull magnet]

why

sounds like youre doing something strange

[tacit locust]

Because I'm storing an uint8array in an object in settings and I need the array

[dull magnet]

dont put a u8a in settings

use datastore for that

[tacit locust]

I'm storing it in settings so it can be synced with vencloud

[dull magnet]

u8a is not json serializable so you literally cant

[tacit locust]

ohh i didn't know that

okay so i convert it to a normal array then back to a uint8?

[dull magnet]

what is this u8a for

what data is in it

[tacit locust]

an exported CryptoKey

[dull magnet]

why r u cloud syncing ur encryption key

settings are stored in plain text in our database

[tacit locust]

an encrypted* cryptokey

[dull magnet]

encryption keys should be stored locally and per device

and settings arent for binary data

binary data belongs into datastore

[dull magnet]

if its encrypted then why even have a key in the first place

you either have a key for your key
or you use a password in which case you dont need a key

[tacit locust]

because i'm going to decrypt it with a local master key

and there's different keys for different channels

[dull magnet]

if the master key is local what is the point of syncing the encrypted key

you cant decrypt it without the local key so syncing is pointless

[tacit locust]

because it will be decrypted on every device the master key is inputted in

[dull magnet]

You probably want to use a password and derive a key from that via KDF

like argon2

[humble tulip]

IDEA but yeah

[tacit locust]

that is already implemented

i am further encrypting that with the master key

[dull magnet]

I dont understand why you need to sync any keys if you use KDF

the entire point of KDF is that there is no need to sync keys, you just need password and consistent parameters like iterations + salt

so there is nothing to sync other than parameters

the user then enters the password and it can derive the key

no need to sync any keys

[tacit locust]

because every channel has it's own key

so to save the trouble of having to input every channel's key individually on each new device we sync it

[dull magnet]

and the keys are pgp keys for e2ee?

[tacit locust]

no they're AES keys

[dull magnet]

what for

It really sounds like you're trying to implement something in a very bad way

And cloud is absolutely not for syncing binary data like encryption keys

[tacit locust]

AES-GCM encryption/decryption

[dull magnet]

and what are you encrypting

[tacit locust]

messages

[verbal granite]

Why we using green needle?

[dull magnet]

end to end encryption?

[tacit locust]

i'm not sure how it's bad. Channel password is hashed with pbkdf2 which is encrypted with master password, and the result is stored in the settings for synchronisation

[tacit locust]

yes

[tacit locust]

wait i can convert the uint8Array to a base64 string

that should fix it

[verbal granite]

I think we could get around all the problems by just storing the different keys for the different channels as a Map<string, string>() where the key string is the channel id, and the value string is the base 64 encoded channel key. We could then make a keyStore, turning which wraps this map. the value strings from this map should also not be inside a proxy, since strings are immutable

[verbal granite]

bruh

[dull magnet]

no... stop abusing settings for binary data

[tacit locust]

not technically binary data if it's a string :p

[verbal granite]

Probably true for the long run tho. We do gotta find a better way to sync keys (besides using another platform ofc lul)

[tacit locust]

we could set up a dummy account as a key exchange

[verbal granite]

Tho tbf, for now, its not that bad since keys are only 32 bytes per encrypted channel

which gets multiplied by like two if u use base 64

[tacit locust]

or host the key exchange on your website

[dull magnet]

you should simply not try to add encryption to discord

use matrix, signal, xmpp

and just dont sync keys, have per device keys and add additional devices similar to how proper e2ee services like Matrix do it

[verbal granite]

Im sorry, but thats not the point

[tacit locust]

we're not going to push it to the main repo or anything

[plush estuary]

bump :(

[humble tulip]

I think there's a MenuControl or something along those lines that lets you put a react component in a MenuItem

[quick zephyr]

what even is a radioitem

in relation to a context menu anyways

only radio items I know about are these type

[humble tulip]

Probably that

[quick zephyr]

how does that work in a context menu though

that doesnt make any sense

[humble tulip]

Right click settings and go to appearance, I'm not on pc atm but I'm pretty sure the light/dark selection is a radio item

[quick zephyr]

insane

isnt the fix for this just to use a stateful variable

const [currentStatus, setCurrentStatus] = useState(whitelist[id]);

or smthn

[humble tulip]

That worked for me here
https://github.com/lolsuffocate/vc-maskedPasteOptions/blob/9103db5c94f1fb1eaa2d88da45725ea4b3e94901/index.tsx#L58

[proud parrot]

index.tsx: Line 58

const [pasteMaskedByDefaultChecked, setPasteMaskedByDefaultChecked] = React.useState(settings.store.pasteMaskedByDefault);

[quick zephyr]

bro used React.useState

instead of importing from webpack

[quick zephyr]

yeah I use a ton of stateful variables for questify settings lol

idk if ive done it for context menus though

[humble tulip]

It was a long time ago

[silk sorrel]

doesn't this break some rule of hooks

[humble tulip]

it works

[plush estuary]

yall are goated @quick zephyr @humble tulip worked for me, initally got the same menu api accepts only blah blah error so i converted it into a function and got it done, a snippet for future travellers who run into this:
https://pastes.dev/x7yiUy0Ic0

[tacit locust]

Is there such thing as an offline mode so I can test my plugins and code when I don't have WiFi?

[humble tulip]

Network tab in dev tools can emulate different connection states

[tacit locust]

Doesn't really work when it's stuck on checking for updates

Can't open Dev tools I think

Oh, no you misunderstood

When I actually don't have WiFi lol

[humble tulip]

Gotcha, I thought you meant you wanted to test for when you don't have wifi

but in that case, I don't think so, no

You can maybe launch discord.exe directly rather than update.exe

Assuming windows anyway

[tacit locust]

Oh that's a good idea

No way to load a clean server/DM

Maybe I should make an offline plugin....

That would be pretty cool but I'm nowhere near good enough

[humble tulip]

Yeah I think you'd have to. #🎨-css-snippets message This css snippet reveals the app behind the disconnection screen but I think without anything cached you'd just be looking at infinitely loading chats at best

[tacit locust]

I could make every chat click re-route to a dummy dm

[hardy adder]

is there a way to load images from my file system in a userplugin lol

i know im SUPPOSED to upload them to some image hoster but i'd rather not

[vast karma]

Not without natives

[humble tulip]

That or localhost server which is no less work unless you already have it

[hardy adder]

what a hassle lol

[hardy adder]

i have determined it is not possible while contained in a plugin

actually i don't know why the vencord:// one works but mine throws a fit about CSP

while there's no calls to register a privileged protocol

tempted to just allow the vencord one to load any file

oh there's a bunch of random csp stuff, though idk where it allows vencord:// to do whatever

[unkempt kindle]

just wondering, how would you even go about doing something like a dummy dm?

[tacit locust]

I haven't the faintest idea

[tacit locust]

if i have multiple plugins running addMessagePreSendListener for example, how do i ensure that my one runs at the very last?

is there a way?

[humble tulip]

I think it registers on plugin start, so you can use StartAt but that's about it

[dull magnet]

ordered alphabetically

[humble tulip]

And that

[dull magnet]

or use startat yeah

[tacit locust]

ah thanks

[hasty moss]

Hello, i'm having a hard time figuring out how to debug the selectors etc for this popup as it just disapear if i try to use ctrl+shift+c

[tropic ice]

use f8break

vp f8break

[humble tulip]

You can also click the :hov button in the styles panel and tick this box

[hasty moss]

i tried it did not work

[humble tulip]

Doesn't catch everything but it works for that menu for me

[hasty moss]

didn't think of this

thanks

[humble tulip]

Plus f8break breaks react dev tools anyway

[tropic ice]

?

[tropic ice]

oh yeah it doesn't
you can run setTimeout(()=>{debugger}, 3000) in the console

[humble tulip]

You can't inspect with react dev tools when paused in a breakpoint

[tropic ice]

the 3000 means 3000 ms so 3s

oh

[humble tulip]

I know they're not trying to use that right now but still a down side

[hasty moss]

it doesn't work for me for some reasons

[tropic ice]

emulate a focused page does work for me, but the timeout debugger will work too

[hasty moss]

what's the clean way to simulate clicking on the top right search bar, selecting a filter and filtering someone. Rn i'm using fake events etc but i feel like this is the wrong way to approach this. i'm fairly new to react

[tropic ice]

oh wait this is plugin dev

i thought this was theme dev

[hasty moss]

[quick zephyr]

the cursed way to do this is to f8 break, click on the frozen client area, move mouse to hover over dev tool but don't click to transfer focus, then f8 again to unbreak. then as long as you don't move your mouse back over the client things should stay stable.

sometimes something random will cause a rerender and you'll have to do it again but oh well

[humble tulip]

Maybe see if you can find how the new filters modal does it, 99% likely it'll be a dispatcher event

[hardy adder]

what the heck is the custom OptionType and how do i use it

oh i get it, it's not actually shown in the settings, it's just for automatic serialization

use component if you want a custom button or whatever

[hardy adder]

does stop() get called when you reload/close discord?

i would assume it's supposed to but im having issues, doesn't seem to get called

oh, i forgot an await

async/await was a mistake

[tall dagger]

ive been making like, an alt cdn for big files

but i didn't figure out the method for file upload

so i don't really know what to intercept lol

but i got it working basically

[storm swan]

Does anyone know how to inject/add an option into this container to add an new section?

I can't find the internal component name or the Webpack module I should target for the injection.

[silk sorrel]

Check out #1272186590214619281

[tall dagger]

that is the easy part,

i meant on drag and drop

like intercepting the actual file upload stuff

yk when you normally upload it would still say 10 mbs max

but you have my cdn as a little button

to click and send any file from it

i want to like override discord's behavior to instead use mine if the file is too large

which requires interception and stuff and i am very bake-d right now to re-read vencord's src not gonna lie

[silk sorrel]

Sounds like you'd want to patch UploadHandler.promptToUpload (and its sister function, wreq(518960).V, which is in the same module but isn't particularly useful on its own to have a vencord alias)
It gets triggered when you drop a file onto the discord app, and it handles some common file upload errors

[tall dagger]

didn't work

oh and sorry for

the uh

3-4 hour

late response

i tried that already

and i patched before discord loaded

so i made it wait

until it fully loaded

but it then completely skipped trying to patch lol

and i hated whatever it was doing so i just went off without drag and drop for now

it works fine

[vital nebula]

ok so I made a plugin for selecting multiple messages and a plugin for screenshotting said messages, I forked equicord but lowkey their server is kinda just full of toxic people so I was wondering if this server is any better and if my plugin ""is legal"" for merging
https://github.com/kr1viah/Equicord/blob/main/src%2Fuserplugins%2FmessageScreenshotter%2Findex.tsx (screenshotter plugin, selecter is in the same directory)

the screenshotter plugin currently actually doesn't screenshot (because I tried and don't know how), but instead opens a model with settings on how to treat the messages (censoring name, pfp, etc) selectable per-user for you to screenshot

[tall dagger]

meta + shift + s
(meta = windows key)

also

sounds like a neat concept but

eh idk it just is so easily replaceable by

so many metrics

[obsidian shell]

it wouldn’t be accepted

doable with a bot

[vital nebula]

yeah but that's a 100x less convenient

[vital nebula]

^

[dull magnet]

this seems kind of niche and like it'd encourage creating spliced screenshots to slander people

[vital nebula]

🤷

that's gonna happen regardless

[dull magnet]

I don't think it can be accepted sorry

[vital nebula]

I can make the background slightly not dark theme discord if you want

to be able to distinguish it (though not really visually) from actual screenshots

[vital nebula]

for what reason?

[dull magnet]

the ones I just said

[vital nebula]

as for the niche thing, ~75% of people who I've shown this (like... 30?) would use it

as for the other thing, yeah, idk, that'll happen anyways, I don't think it's my/our/your issue

note that it does dom editing on the model opened, to replace the pfp image, names, (basically anything), because I tried to find a way that doesn't use dom editing but i couldn't find a way to make that work. if there's a better way, please let me know, but I believe this to be the only way

[dull magnet]

btw i suggest using this to automatically create a perfect screenshot of the messages
https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/api/web-contents#contentscapturepagerect-opts

[vital nebula]

that's electron, not react?

oh, I'm blind, sorry

I'll check it out

[dull magnet]

you can pass the rectangle to screenshot which you can easily get for your message container with Dom apis

to screenshot the perfect area

you'll need a native.ts exporting a async function takePageScreenshot(event, areaRect): Uint8Array

look at other plugins to see how to use that

[vital nebula]

alr ty

(tho iirc no other plugins take screenshots?)

[vital nebula]

but is this fine?

[vital nebula]

(I'm gonna be honest I have no idea what I'm doing for the most part, I barely know what react is still lmao)

[vital nebula]

after thinking about it for a while and looking things up, there's no better option other than to edit the dom and to use hardcoded classes

whats so bad about hardcoding classes anyways

@dull magnet wdym

[tall dagger]

still not that hard to do by hand

but ye sounds ok

[vital nebula]

🤷

[silk sorrel]

does it support transparent backgrounds

ngl that's like the only thing I'd want from a screenshot plugin
cuz having the ugly ass gray background visible is so meh, especially when discord has like 15 different themes now

svg exports would be even better but that would be a pain in the ass to implement

[vital nebula]

I can make it transparent

just dk how to export that to a back blank background

[vital nebula]

(in fact I had to set the background colour manually)

[normal wagon]

genuine question would this ever be accepted

[vapid oar]

[tacit locust]

That's so cool

Id love hot swappable profiles

[vital nebula]

what

[quick zephyr]

your video has brave in it

[vital nebula]

so?

[quick zephyr]

so they replied with the brave logo

[vital nebula]

why would they do that

[quick zephyr]

why not

[honest plume]

would this plugin be accepted?

1. when someone sends a soundboard, it sends the soundboard mp3 link in chat like this:
   meow
2. the recipient clients then check if the message contains a soundboard-sounds link like this and plays the sound.

the soundboard link would only play when youre in the same channel call.

ig the main concern is that its gonna spam the chat, so maybe this idea is bad

[iron epoch]

self botting and sounds over-engineered. something like that was rejected by vee a long time ago as well

[amber mantle]

no

something like fake nitro where it just sends the link on click maybe though

[honest plume]

But that's what I meant, no?

It sends a link, and the client listens to on message event, just like the deleted messages plugin and plays the soundboard MP3 automatically if the message contains the soundboard link

[amber mantle]

the latter half is probably too shitposty for most official plugins nowadays

even moyai plugin isnt around anymore (hasnt been for years actually i just keep forgetting)

[tropic ice]

it has not been gone for years. it's almost been 1 year (also i don't think i even realized it was gone lol) https://github.com/Vendicated/Vencord/commit/600a95f751c5977f47d64aaa97fdbfd3f324504e

[amber mantle]

oh thats not that long ago

rip my farty he got hit by a veezooka

who has a vencord plugin graveyard

[iron epoch]

Rest in peace moyai

[vast karma]

I have an idea how its tombstone could look

[quaint cipher]

can vencor patch into fast connect

doesnt seem to let me

i guess its not a webpack module so thats why

[hushed loom]

patches won't do it

you'd have to do it manually

[quaint cipher]

i monkeypatched WebSocket prototype for my use but ended up not needing the plugin anyway

thought something wasn't working becasuse gateway sesison was web rather than desktop so i tried setting it to desktop but the issue was different thingie

[blazing igloo]

Hi! I've been trying to find a way to retrieve registered user application commands, but I've been quite failing to find the relevant functions

[dull magnet]

by bots?

[blazing igloo]

I tried some basic reverse engineering, but because no UI element directly fetch that information (ie. the button to open the command drawer just dispatch an event), I've been having quite a hard time

[blazing igloo]

by applications, registered on the user

[dull magnet]

user installed apps?

[blazing igloo]

yeah

[dull magnet]

Enable ConsoleShortcuts

then look at the Stores object in console

these seem most promising

Stores.ApplicationStore
Stores.ApplicationCommandStore
Stores.ApplicationCommandIndexStore

[blazing igloo]

for some reason the Stores object is empty and only ApplicationStoreexists globally, I'm not sure why it's different on my install

I've previously tried a findByProps("ApplicationCommandStore") but the test find fails

[blazing igloo]

Okay I've managed to take a look at both stores. It seems like the ApplicationCommandStore doesn't hold much information, while ApplicationCommandIndexStore doesn't let me execute the command, although at this point a simple REST call should do the trick?

[dull magnet]

yes

[limpid tusk]

i made a plugin for myself rn that disables the in game soundboard overlay. It's literally 2 lines. I'm assuming that would be too simple to be merged?
I made it because I use CTRL + ` as my mute keybind in Discord, which is the same UNCHANGABLE keybind used for the soundboard overlay which constantly makes me play the loudest sounds when trying to mute

[normal wagon]

what's considered niche here and generally accepted just curious

because i've seen quite a few PRs come in here and the acceptance rate is low

i'm just wondering what are the best places for me to contribute and what can i actually submit which will be accepted

and is there any limitations to the number of patches i can use?

[obsidian shell]

ask before PRing

[obsidian shell]

as much as necessary

[normal wagon]

fair enough then

[normal wagon]

you mean ask the general public whether they'd see a use in the plugin?

[vast karma]

All low hanging fruit plugins have already been made

Coming up with a new, genuinely useful idea isn't easy

[obsidian shell]

ask here

else you're gonna waste your time

[broken storm]

Hello 👋 I made a small QOL plugin that I talked about some time ago
I'm not sure it's been done? But correct me if I'm wrong
I thought I explained it decently in the Readme
Also if yall could give feedback on it that'd be great, I'm hoping to PR this soon if it's not a stupid idea or too niche lol

this will error if someone tries to install it as a userplugin

[proud parrot]

index.tsx: Line 63

authors: [Devs.Calebh101],

[rose fiber]

also what is even the point of the plugin

[broken storm]

Cuz I didn’t like always having the timestamps on, and I didn’t like going into settings to turn them on to check if it’s reordering correctly

[broken storm]

Oh
Uh, how would I fix that lol

[broken storm]

Debugging

[rose fiber]

put the value you put in the devs constant into the array

[broken storm]

When I was trying to fix some weird issues, like random crashing
I was testing if MessageCorrector was causing it

I can remove them if they’re not preferred

[broken storm]

Kinda hard to explain, but basically, when Discord receives a message into its stores, it just kinda accepts it ig. So it doesn’t matter if you just sent the message, or someone else. But that creates some inconsistency, cuz if you send a message right after someone else, on your client it’ll show that your message is first, even though it’s not on the server. I’ve found myself restarting the client a lot because of this, to check where my messages were “broken up” if that makes sense. MessageCorrector reorders the messages based on the timestamp property, which represents when the server received the message; not the client.
Does that make sense? It’s a bit hard to explain and I’m not the best at explaining lol

TLDR is discord client sucks, this fixes a small issue with it

[tropic ice]

I think it fixes when it looks like you sent a message before someone else on your client, but you actually didn't (and when you refresh it'll be fixed)

[broken storm]

Yeah exactly

[normal wagon]

not the worse plugin idea i can see the use-case in this

[broken storm]

I personally find it rly useful, idk abt yall tho

[obsidian shell]

this seems kinda niche, so it would be a good fit for #1256395889354997771

just address the messages above

[normal wagon]

everything niche in vencord plugin submissions lowk

[broken storm]

Alr I removed some debugging stuff,
Replaced \w+ with \i
I didn't remove the command cuz I find it helpful tho
I changed the devs field to not use constants

Anything else yall see that I can improve?

Original message: #🧩-plugin-development message

these days the only plugin submissions we get are ai garbage

[broken storm]

Finna change that fr 👍

[quick zephyr]

Questify is purely human garbage
-# this message is brought to you by GitHub Copilot

[obsidian shell]

[broken storm]

would this be too sketchy or does it work

[obsidian shell]

oh my god just define yourself as a plain object

[barren thistle]

tbf it isn't exactly like a ton of new plugins are being added to the list of supported plugins. I mean, Vencord has BD beat in terms of stability and performance, but chances are, if you can think of it, there already is a plugin for it on BD.

Just by nature of the way vencord's plugin onboarding works, it invites people to use AI to build plugins that add the niche thing people want.

Doesn't make it easier but it does explain it.

[barren thistle]

Stuff like this, seems small and niche, but actually I'm curious why it isn't possibly a silent function of vencord itself. Like this seems less of something that belongs in a plugin and more something that belongs as part of the core functionality of the project itself as a bugfix for the client itself.

[hardy adder]

nah there would be someone that notices and complains lol

think it's fine in a plugin, maybe default enabled would be a discussion? but i would probably lean towards no

[broken storm]

I was just playing around with it, that’s why I asked

The snippet does say to add yourself to the devs constant iirc

[vapid oar]

https://github.com/Vendicated/Vencord/pull/3962

this is ai gem

[broken storm]

K so after undoing this lol, I'll prob make a PR some time in the next few days cuz I think my plugin's ready for that

[normal wagon]

i think i agree with the other guy saying it shouldn't be a plugin but rather built in by default

that'd make more sense

for its functionality and stuff

[broken storm]

I'm thinking of PRing it yeah, and including that if it's deemed a good idea it can be made built-in
Cuz you can define a plugin as builtin/required really easily so yeah

Making it built-in makes sense

[obsidian shell]

as of now plugins shouldn’t be enabled by default, none of them are just because they’d be useful for a majority of people

imo

[dull magnet]

this is planned as "tweaks"

it would be a separate settings page with a bunch of categorised small tweaks

all very simple plugin that basically just change one small feature without settings would be changed to a switch there

Things that are objectively useful would be enabled by default, everything else disabled by default

for example BetterRoleContext makes an objective improvement to the role context menu without downsides so it could be enabled by default

[broken storm]

So... sorry if I'm dum for asking, but since you kinda made vencord lol, what would you suggest I do with my plugin before PRing it? Make it built-in, enabled by default or both?

The 2 settings I have for it aren't really necessary to show to the user if I need to hide them btw

[obsidian shell]

will you have usertweaks

[barren thistle]

That's a solid idea.

[broken storm]

Oh tweaks doesn't exist yet
Well uh
sry for the unrelated ping
I genuinely have no idea if I should make this builtin, enabled by default, both, or neither lol

[rose fiber]

probably just make it a normal plugin

[rose fiber]

<@&1073655264923881602> well technically betterrolecontext has settings (which like 2 people change probably)

why the fuck is there an @ silent role

[frigid grove]

funny

[untold urchin]

I submitted a PR to the FakeNitro plugin a few months ago:
https://github.com/Vendicated/Vencord/pull/3993

Wanted to ask what the process with PRs was and if I had to do anything or if "unsolicited" PRs are always ignored (instead of closed?) without any comment?
I have it running locally and it works fine but just noticed the PR still had no response etc.
Thanks a lot!

[obsidian shell]

PRs are either looked at immediately or within a few months to years

just leave it opened and wait

if your pr is bad it gets instantly closed

[untold urchin]

I see thanks for the response!
Good to know how you all do stuff around here.
See you in a few years ig 😂

[quick zephyr]

if your pr is really bad such as ai slop it gets instantly closed. if it's your average brand of bad then you gotta wait like normal, maybe get feedback one day, address the feedback, then wait another few months to years

[untold urchin]

Yea understandable.
I couldn't care less if my contributions get accepted, did it mainly for myself as I was missing that feature, so . But now I know for next time to not bother, thank you!

[obsidian shell]

eh when you get a pr review it goes quite quickly from there

[celest belfry]

i dont know if this is intended, but when using the platformIndicators plugin vesktop users get detected as web users probably because of how vesktop is built

[broken storm]

Yeah

Vesktop is an electron wrapper around the discord website iirc

[lost gulch]

It is indeed intended

[woeful summit]

i found this method in mediaEngineStore, and im wondering if there is any way to make this always return false. im trying to mute that notification that shows up when ur mic is picked up while muting

this was my attempt, i based the patch off of https://github.com/nicola02nb/notifyWhenMuted/tree/main

i saw that you can mute it with css, but i also read that the tag changes from time to time so im trying to make it more permanent

[silk sorrel]

You're replacing the whole string getSpeakingWhileMuted(){return \i with something else which causes a syntax error
Try writing the regex in the patch helper, it will warn you when that happens

Lmao I forgot I had this nitro profile picture

[woeful summit]

ayyyy i think i got it

            find: "getSpeakingWhileMuted(){return ",
            replacement: {
                match: /(getSpeakingWhileMuted\(\){)(return) (\i)/,
                replace: "$1return false"
            }
        }```

can someone fact check me. since enabling the plugin i haven't been able to trigger the tooltip

[frigid grove]

Has there been any mentions about messagelogger not being able to log components v2?
