[knotty quartz]

How do you do a timeout on discord,js V13 is there a guide for it

[ancient nova]

member.timeout(...)

[knotty quartz]

I would imagine member.kick(); just .timeout

[knotty quartz]

Ty for confirming, is there a method for time?

[tight kiln]

Is top.gg working

[ancient nova]

yeah just pass the time in ms when u execute the function

[lyric mountain]

well yeah, why not?

[knotty quartz]

Thanks!

[boreal iron]

Could be possible the site is still down

[ancient nova]

btw u can't pass time longer than 28 days

that's the limit it seems like

[boreal iron]

Doesn’t make sense to have a guild running longer timers in the background

Even 28 is far too long imo

Either kick or ban then

[sharp geyser]

imagine not being timed out for a year

[boreal iron]

aye

[ancient nova]

I got muted for a week in a british server cause I said I don't like tea with milk in it

[sharp geyser]

as you should

tea with milk is good

[drifting cairn]

deserved

[ancient nova]

😔

tea with milk just tastes weird to me 😔

[boreal iron]

Uhm that just sounds ewwww

[drifting cairn]

[drifting cairn]

u gotta add sugar too

[ancient nova]

also I said I like green tea > any other tea

[drifting cairn]

[ancient nova]

mint tea is also good tho

[drifting cairn]

water > tea

[ancient nova]

but not with milk

[knotty quartz]

Aight ok, is it manageable to check to see if the member is timeout able?

[ancient nova]

uhh there was a reason I'm pretty sure

yeah u can check if the reason proprty exists

[boreal iron]

https://discord.js.org/#/docs/discord.js/13.9.2/class/GuildMember

You may wanna check the docs yourself

[knotty quartz]

That the docs I was looking for tyyyy

[boreal iron]

[knotty quartz]

Got it

[knotty quartz]

I am also setting the defaul timeout time to 5 minutes or an hour? Which one would you suggest?

[boreal iron]

Uhm… idk 5 min aren’t long, an hour is

I would probably choose 15 min but… yeah idk

[drifting cairn]

do 15 minutes

ye

what they said

[knotty quartz]

Thank you!

[ancient nova]

I defaulted mine to 24h

[boreal iron]

[knotty quartz]

Lol amazing. I will work on options tommorrow but for now its 15 minutes

[surreal sage]

Version 13.9.2

Stops at the if statement since no .message while it should exist

And yes

nvm collected.message = collected

[lyric mountain]

...what?

[surreal sage]

Documentation was incorrect

[exotic ivy]

Site is back since a good while but no update was posted about it and it caused unnecessary delay for people to vote, way beyond the downtime. If you not gonna post a "fixed it" message at least warn people about it beforehand in your error post

So they will check the site time to Time instead of waiting for your update

[spark flint]

its still not really working for me

[spark flint]

sites still down

so

no update to post

[exotic ivy]

I just voted for two bot and my friend for a server a good while ago

[spark flint]

its unstable atm

[exotic ivy]

I reloaded a few times and it was fast and correct each time

Many people DMed me about the out of date error post

Started voting more than a hour ago

So

[lethal mantle]

question any way to retrieve the reviews?

[boreal iron]

On topgg? If so, no

[lyric mountain]

technically, yes, but requires scrapping

[scarlet hinge]

How do you add bots

Help me please

[earnest phoenix]

https://top.gg/bot/add

[scarlet hinge]

Is that how you add bots?

[earnest phoenix]

You asked for that, I answered for it

[scarlet hinge]

Thank you

[earnest phoenix]

Though look at #site-status

And https://support.top.gg/support/solutions/articles/73000502500-how-to-add-your-bot will help

[earnest phoenix]

ah so they're doing ssr for reviews

interesting 🤔

[lyric mountain]

?

why...would scrap equal to ssr?

[earnest phoenix]

nah, i mean they render the comments in server

server side rendering

[lyric mountain]

no they dont

[earnest phoenix]

they don't get the comments from json

that's sad actually

[lyric mountain]

???

ssr has nothing to do with lack of api endpoint

[dusk cloak]

i cant speak

oh nvm Now i can

[scarlet hinge]

[ancient nova]

yo is anyone still up?

[spark flint]

no

[quartz kindle]

no

[ancient nova]

well thanks, I need some help with my game, just need to think of some good gameplay points or some narrative ig

[lyric mountain]

Narrative? For backrooms? Narrative?

Isn't the whole deal with backrooms being "unnerving and evenly lit rooms with seemingly no escape"?

[ancient nova]

I don't think you would want to play a game where all you do is walk around tho lmao I want to have some kinda gameplay, a store idfk something so the player won't be bored to death

[lyric mountain]

Well, u kinda chose a bad theme tbh

From all creepypastas, backrooms is the most boring one

[ancient nova]

I already talked to like 4 people who were interested at first but dropped out after a few days

I can't keep working on a si gle person

I'll finish it myself if I have to

just need some ideas

[lyric mountain]

Download gmod and play a few matches of nextbot escape

[ancient nova]

at least give me some common horror game ones I'll find a way to implement them

[lyric mountain]

It might give u some ideas

[ancient nova]

I played it lol

I already have an "AI" that is pretty smart

it has eyesight and hearing

pathfinding is meh it still can get stuck but I bumped out the avoidance to max

[lyric mountain]

The thing is:

• the player can't fight
• the player can't escape
• the player will lose regardless

Don't seem like a good game theme

But that's what the backrooms is

If you add any objectives you'll be escaping the theme

I mean, beyond "goal: survive"

[ancient nova]

there is a game themed about the poolrooms, it's like 99% exploration and still they managed to make it interesting

I will not give up

😤

[lyric mountain]

Never hear about it

Neither google apparently

[ancient nova]

it has a different name

I'll send you a video in DMs

because it's already been done 100s of times

[stark abyss]

[sharp geyser]

thats rich

Guy literally makes a mod bot with the whole idea of copying what other bots do

but doesn't like the idea of making a game other's have already made

[ancient nova]

lots of features I've added I thought myself. I only added the commands that other bots had that were necessary such as ban, kick or mute lmao

[ancient nova]

slenderman is legit a washed out game, nobody will play that

and there is no way to add anything new to it

[sharp geyser]

I just found it funny thats all

idc what game you make or the reason behind it

[lyric mountain]

Ok so a few keypoints for game dev:

• Replayability: nobody will play your game if the loop stays the same everytime.
• Theme: a game must stay true to its main theme, else you break immersion
• Difficulty: a game must not be a walk in the park, but it must also not be too punishing else it becomes boring and/or frustrating
• Innovation: if there are other similar games, yours must have something unique before it even sees the light
• First-contact: the first 10 minutes of both trailer and gameplay are the ones who'll define whether people will invest time into it or not

You must attain all those 5 points to have a time-worthy game

[sharp geyser]

Difficulty is a wonky one

Sometimes it being a walk in the park is fun and fine, only if its theme matches its difficulty

Same with it being challenging

[wheat mesa]

High skill level and high difficulty = maximum enjoyment

[sharp geyser]

IF that is the theme of the game sure

you can't market a game as easy going then make the player die every 5s if something is done wrong

[sharp geyser]

Yea

A lot of games are like that

High skill high difficulty

[ancient nova]

I just coded a cool mechanic

into it

will start making up the first part of the map now

would you be up for play testing it? (given ur PC can run it)

also this time I will be adding a full fledged LOD system so the map won't lag anymore while loading

it will still be there, loaded in ram, but it won't be visible so won't take up resources

[sharp geyser]

Why not load all assets before letting the player join the map

[ancient nova]

that's what I'm doing, that's what the LOD system is

[sharp geyser]

LOD?

[ancient nova]

they just won't be visible until the player gets close enough

[sharp geyser]

What kind of game are you making again

[ancient nova]

lod = level of detail

[ancient nova]

backrooms themed, liminal horror, puzzle, exploration etc.

[sharp geyser]

Gosh that sounds boring

I never understood the hype around backrooms

[ancient nova]

wooow 😐

[ancient nova]

have you watched any videos about it?

[sharp geyser]

Yea

and it seemed like there was jack all to do other than try and not get caught by whatever they called it

[ancient nova]

really? You've seen the kane pixels renders too?

[ancient nova]

it's a little more interesting under the hood. I can recommend you a single video to watch, and once you do I think you may change your mind

[sharp geyser]

I've already seen plenty

and it still hasn't changed my mind of how boorish the game is

[ancient nova]

okay how about I send you a video of another game, which is not themed, but inspired of the backrooms

and I want to make my game similar to that one

with a single theme added: survival

[wheat mesa]

Horror games are boring imho

[sharp geyser]

A lot of them are yea

Most of them don't really accomplish anything

[ancient nova]

even games like outlast? 😐

[sharp geyser]

yea

[ancient nova]

😐

I'm bad at level design lol

glad I put everything into a tile system

gonna add a couple structures soon, then gonna implement sections of the poolrooms and other levels

I think I can actually make it interesting

[wheat mesa]

Isn’t the point of the backrooms is that it’s infinite

[ancient nova]

my earlier build of the game was infinite, and no it's not infinite, it's just a really really really large number

but I want to introduce story into the game so it's not as boring, it's gonna be linear instead of procedural

[sharp geyser]

https://backrooms.fandom.com/wiki/Level_List a lot of levels apparently

but doesn't seem infinite

[ancient nova]

this is how many there are 9223372036854775807

I'm going to add like 10 or 20 max tho 🤣

[wheat mesa]

It goes past infinite levels

Past omega

But there’s not ACTUALLY that many

I meant the actual backstory behind the backrooms is that it’s an inescapably infinite repeating amount of generic looking rooms

[sharp geyser]

oh yea

Also I don't necessarily think the levels are infinite

but it is a non ending loop iirc

which is exactly what you said

but I misread

[ancient nova]

it's not escapable because there is wayy to many levels, and to escape you have to go through certain levels in order. And from what I read there is only theoritical ways of escaping as anyone who actually escaped probably couldn't have documented that

anyways, I guess I could call my game more inspired-like since I probably will add an actual ending instead of having the game just be pure exploration

[sharp geyser]

If you wanted to be really boring

you could make a loop that isn't endless but at a certain number of clearing all the levels you have they escape

so say you have 20 levels, they go to each level randomly and once they get through all 20 levels they start over, this happens at least 5 times before they ffinally escape

[ancient nova]

nah I don't want to be boring, that's what I mean, I want to add some gameplay, a story, a narrative or at least some puzzle elements to make it interesting

[sharp geyser]

and each playthrough the content changes but the maps stay the same

[ancient nova]

btw I'll make a test build rn will anyone be able to test it, I just want to see if the performance is better

[sharp geyser]

different puzzles

[ancient nova]

seems as boring as my earlier infinite demo

the game will get boring and repeatable in 10 minutes even if I change it each playthrough

what I can do, is make the game finite, but long

and instead of procedurally generated maps, I will premake them, but with precision and they will look better

anyway I'm baking the demo right now, is your PC good?

[sharp geyser]

Im not downloading anything sorry

[ancient nova]

I see alr

I hope the game isn't gonna be too big

there is literally 3 different games inside the games source cause I keep changing my mind

unity usually filters anything that isn't used in the actual scenes so it should be fine

[lament rock]

The Stanley Parable

I fucking love how silly stupid that game is

[ancient nova]

the game is 53MB, not as big as before, well I removed 2 whole levels from it so no wonder

[sharp geyser]

Thats a hilarious game

[ancient nova]

if the game is this small would anyone be up for testing it?

[ancient nova]

can you record it as well?

[civic gorge]

hey everyone

[ancient nova]

the game minimum specs are quite high so not sure if you're gonna be able to

[civic gorge]

is there rest api issue on vote counts?

when i pull the votes it gives me 223 while web page shows over > 300 for my bot

[ancient nova]

idk for me the entire top.gg website is returning a 502

[civic gorge]

oo ok

[ancient nova]

alr, dm me I'll send you the game

I can't seem to DM you either

[earnest phoenix]

Who is the staff members

I need help

[ancient nova]

add me I'll send it that way

[wary helm]

some one pls help i have no idea i need to add a server to top gg but it doesnt work help pls!

[civic gorge]

@wary helm mostlikelly is due to the issue they have

[wary helm]

where do they post there issue

[civic gorge]

They dont i see it when I am making calls to rest api

[eternal osprey]

Hey guys could someone help some with some advice. I own a big server and it’s constantly being flooded by selfbots who are dming my members. I am trying to find a solution to prevent selfbots of joining.

The first thing I’ve tried was: a verification system. But basically only 1 should join and verify to get the ids, and this could be passed on to the other bots to send the dms.

so that isn’t really an option. Does anyone else have a good suggestion?

[earnest phoenix]

If it happens again ban the bot and put a reason they can’t come back

Can someone help me make reaction roles?

[eternal osprey]

No because people could join all the time so how many would I have to remove manually?? I am in need of an automation.

[earnest phoenix]

Invite me to the server I can see wt to do

[eternal osprey]

No there’s no need as everything’s explained here

[earnest phoenix]

Try google or help from another server honestly I think the best thing to do is put them in time out and see what happens like see if more join

[vivid fulcrum]

you're on the right track

you'll need a verification system

you should use a captcha though

generate a few letters and numbers and scramble up the image

while selfbots can also solve that

it isn't worth it in the long run for them

you can also do multiple stages of the captcha

i.e. the first stage would be your regular captcha (scrambled up letters and numbers), then you could send a message and tell the user to click a specific button that's taken out of a randomized set

[boreal iron]

Sounds like a good reason to leave the server immediately because it’s annoying as fuck

[urban belfry]

pretty sure

[vivid fulcrum]

users who would leave at the captcha stage wouldn't contribute anything to the server in the first place, so it's a win win situation

[boreal iron]

Just live with the fact those are out there and have an active moderation team dealing with reports 24/7

Take a look at the mod-logs, that issue is happening on all larger servers

[pine nova]

you can create verification using 3rd party oauth like steam, twitter, etc 🤔

[civic scroll]

o

[rotund river]

hello, i whant to create a voice channel, and move the member in that channel when join in a determinated voice channel, what is the event name for detherming what channel the user join? for discord.js

[quartz kindle]

voiceStateUpdate

[earnest phoenix]

Can someone help me make reaction roles

await message.guild.channels.create(channelname, {
            type: 'GUILD_TEXT'
        })

i am using this and getting errors a lot like

[drifting cairn]

errors such as?

[drifting cairn]

read it

[earnest phoenix]

cant understand whys this happening

[earnest phoenix]

const channelname = `slot-${member.user.tag}`

        await message.guild.channels.create(channelname, {
            type: 'GUILD_TEXT'
        })

isnt this enough?

[drifting cairn]

no

thats not how you create channels in v14

[earnest phoenix]

than

[drifting cairn]

read the error

[earnest phoenix]

cant understand thats why asking

[drifting cairn]

the field "name" is required

[earnest phoenix]

whats and how to solve id

it

peoples too using same in tutorials

[drifting cairn]

do you know the basics of javascript?

[earnest phoenix]

no

[drifting cairn]

then learn it before you make a bot

[earnest phoenix]

please tell what to change

[drifting cairn]

you've passed the field "type", so pass the field "name" since its a required field.

[earnest phoenix]

await message.guild.channels.create({
            name: channelname,
            type: 'text'
        })

[drifting cairn]

[earnest phoenix]

but error same

[drifting cairn]

[earnest phoenix]

no sorry

its v13

v14

so GUILD_TEXT

i think

[drifting cairn]

yep

either that or enums

[drifting cairn]

ye, its enums

https://discord.js.org/#/docs/discord.js/main/typedef/TextBasedChannelTypes

[earnest phoenix]

thanks

[drifting cairn]

no worries, please learn javascript though it'll help you out in the long run

[drifting cairn]

enums

[earnest phoenix]

ok

[drifting cairn]

v14 is all enums

[earnest phoenix]

sucks

first find for this and does

[drifting cairn]

ur doing permissions right?

you can just do this if you are, its an array of all the enums

[earnest phoenix]

define it in main file

hm i was doing wrong

[knotty quartz]

Hi, how do I add a second if statement to one current if statement to:

• First grab the sub command (Already got that)

But how would I add this: if (premium.includes(interaction.user.id)) {
so if the user is premium it executes too.

[earnest phoenix]

PermissionsBitField.Flags.AttachFiles not working shows undefined

[knotty quartz]

const { SlashCommandBuilder, PermissionsBitField } = require('discord.js');

[earnest phoenix]

already done

[knotty quartz]

What does your permissions look like?

[earnest phoenix]

{
                    id: member.id,
                    allow: [PermissionsBitField.Flags.ViewChannel, PermissionsBitField.Flags.SendMessages, PermissionsBitField.Flags.AttachFiles]
                }

[topaz bloom]

Anyone want to help me code a website?

[earnest phoenix]

this working if we remove attachfiles option

[knotty quartz]

Oh your not on the same as me. I use them in if statements tho

[topaz bloom]

Anyone want to have a coding session

[earnest phoenix]

i am creating channel

with the permissions

[knotty quartz]

Oh, I really don't know

[topaz bloom]

Anyone want to have a coding session

[drifting cairn]

stop spamming the same thing again and again

[wheat mesa]

stop asking please

[drifting cairn]

show me the entire .create function

[topaz bloom]

ok

[earnest phoenix]

Try logging the PermissionsBitField.Flags property and see what it logs

[topaz bloom]

ok

[boreal iron]

why not importing PermissionFlagsBits instead?

instead of continuesly calling the flags property

[surreal sage]

Does Promise.then(resolved => {}) "resolved" get overwritten if you take another promise?

    Promise2.then(resolved=>{

    })
})```

[knotty quartz]

like meet both

[earnest phoenix]

solved

[sudden geyser]

Partially. As it's just a function parameter, the inner resolved shadows the outer resolved. But after Promise2, resolved would point the outer variable unchanged.

[surreal sage]

You're saying that the first resolved is only outside the second one?

[drifting cairn]

just tried doing what you're asking and it wasn't overwritten but you'll have to keep inmind that the scope block exists

[surreal sage]

My focus is Promise2

[sudden geyser]

I'm saying that:

Promise.then(resolved => { // outer, `resolved` is available here.
    Promise2.then(resolved=>{ // inner, this one *shadows* the outer `resolved`
      // If you use `resolved` here, it'll use the *inner* one.
    })

    // Inner scope ended, so `resolved` points to the outer one now.
})

[surreal sage]

Yup gotchu

Thanks

[hybrid cargo]

Just use different parameter names

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[drifting cairn]

[boreal iron]

discord must be kidding me

can't send a DM to my own bot lol

of course we share the same guild

oh man

tf is this bullshit

[pale vessel]

I'm sorry

i dont trust your words

tf am I supposed to do now

[boreal iron]

if (!interaction.type == InteractionType.ApplicationCommand) return;

smh

dude... for real, load and import your command files once on a startup and save 'em like you did with your buttons

also without telling us the error, we can't do shit

I mean you will tell my toLowerCase() isn’t a function but still, do it

The reason it does that is the mentioned line above which doesn’t do anything, it never will

[surreal sage]

I've been debugging for 2 hours and still can't solve it

[sudden geyser]

Can't solve what

[surreal sage]

Getting the members from the roles is inconsistent

D.js 13.9.2

const client = new Discord.Client({
    intents: ["DIRECT_MESSAGES", "DIRECT_MESSAGE_REACTIONS", "GUILDS", "GUILD_MEMBERS", "GUILD_MESSAGES", "GUILD_MESSAGE_REACTIONS"],
    partials: ["CHANNEL", "GUILD_MEMBER", "MESSAGE", "REACTION", "USER"],
});```

[sudden geyser]

Can you explain your exact problem

[pale vessel]

You probably don't cache all members

That's why

[sudden geyser]

Right now you're just explaining your solution

[surreal sage]

a

[surreal sage]

"How to solve it"

[pale vessel]

Cache all members 🧠

Fetch them all!

[surreal sage]

(await client.guilds.fetch(config.guild)).members.fetch(); doesn't do it

[drifting cairn]

[quartz kindle]

wdym doesnt do it?

the code you showed doesnt use members.fetch()

[surreal sage]

Because I added it after

[quartz kindle]

then show the updated code

[quartz kindle]

you didnt await members.fetch

also you can simplify that code quite a lot

its never a good idea to repeat async functions, because you cannot assume they are being cached in the background

you use guilds.fetch() 3 times in there, which is fine only because djs automatically caches the results, but most of the time that will not be the case, and you will end up making 3 repeated requests to an api for no reason

const guild = await client.guilds.fetch(config.guild);
const members = await guild.members.fetch();
// here you can either use guild.roles or you can loop over members directly and parse the roles yourself

[lament rock]

Hey Tim, do you think storing all strings in an Object to avoid re-allocation is a good idea

[quartz kindle]

i would do something like this ```js
for(const member of members.values()) {
if(member.roles.cache.has(config.management) || member.roles.cache.has(config.staff)) {
...
}
}

[surreal sage]

                                                        await (await client.guilds.fetch(config.guild)).members.fetch();
                                                        let roles = (await client.guilds.fetch(config.guild)).roles.cache;
                                                        let mgnmt = roles.get(config.management).members;
                                                        let staff = roles.roles.cache.get(config.staff).members;
                                                        let list = mgnmt.toJSON().concat(staff.toJSON());
                                                        let listb = [];
                                                        list.forEach((item) => {
                                                            if (listb.findIndex((f) => f.id == item.id) == -1) {
                                                                listb.push(item);
                                                            }
                                                        });
                                                        console.log(listb);
                                                        let listOfStaff = [];
                                                        listb.forEach((f) => {
                                                            listOfStaff.push({
                                                                value: f.id,
                                                                label: f.user.tag,
                                                            });
                                                        });```

[wheat mesa]

it concerns me how indented that is

[surreal sage]

[quartz kindle]

most js engines should already manage string allocation internally

so you dont really need to do it yourself

[lament rock]

I meant in scopes where they can get run multiple times

[surreal sage]

.roles undefined (cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'cache'))

[quartz kindle]

can you give an example?

[boreal iron]

_Tim already warming up his benchmarks _

[lament rock]

this.connection.on(Constants.STRINGS.STATE_CHANGE, async (_oldState, newState) => {

});

[quartz kindle]

like this js const str = "abc"; function a() { return str; } instead of ```js
function a() {
return "abc"
}

[lament rock]

Something to that effect

[quartz kindle]

afaik all strings are put somewhere and replaced by references by the jit compiler

[lament rock]

That would be smart, but I wonder how it would determine the difference between static strings and concatenated strings

[quartz kindle]

concatenated strings are different, they are stored in a rope-like object

[surreal sage]

lmfao

[civic scroll]

"lmfao"

[quartz kindle]

generally it should make no difference to have hardcoded strings or to have strings taken from objects, if anything i believe hardcoded strings would be faster, but the jit compiler will replace and inline them anyway so its the same thing in the end

the only reason people put all strings in a constants object is to make it easy to rewrite texts, make translations, etc

[lament rock]

Yeah I'm just doing it to prevent reallocation

I think what I'm doing has its benefits for when JIT hasn't kicked in

also moving regular expressions to root scopes since those have nasty compile times

[quartz kindle]

yeah, i believe node has a v8 flag to run jitless which can be used to test

agreed with regex

[surreal sage]

like this?

[wheat mesa]

Can you show your main file where your mod starts from

Like the Mod.java file or something like that

[earnest phoenix]

https://stackoverflow.com

there thunder

[wheat mesa]

that's not a solution to his issue :p

[earnest phoenix]

u problem tbh

[wheat mesa]

Do something like this @covert gale ```java
@Mod(modid = "yourmodidhere", name = "Create Casings", version = "0.0.1")
public class CreateCasings {
// ...
}

[quartz kindle]

better bullied than billed :^)

[wheat mesa]

Man that's a rare occurrence, seeing :: in java

even when using the stream api I don't see people using it as much as they should

[quartz kindle]

nice mention

[wheat mesa]

That shouldn't be the case

It works just fine for me

what version of forge are you using

For what mc version that is

The minecraft version is 1.18.2 though yeah?

Go into your mods.toml file in src/main/resources/META-INF

And change the version ="${version}" to version = "0.0.1"

C:

Or you could do version = "${mod_version}"

this name needs to match what you're putting in mods.toml

idk then, I hate forge

[wheat mesa]

I would keep it the same name, try doing 'mod_version': mod_version and use this in your mods.toml

forge/gradle is very finicky with everything

if that doesn't work then idk

[ancient nova]

dude does anyone know what the hell happened, yesterday was fine I finished working on my game and closed my PC ever since morning I can't get my PC to boot. It always goes straight into a black screen with just the cursor after loading. Even doesn't want to go into recovery mode it just goes black for no apparent reason???

[lyric mountain]

ubuntu stick

always have an ubuntu stick

[wheat mesa]

his code caught up to him

[lyric mountain]

lmao but really, if it goes into a black screen all I can think of is the ol' trusty eraser trick

remove the ram sticks -> use a generic school eraser on the golden parts of the ram -> return the sticks

[ancient nova]

I managed to open something that looks like commandline by mashing random keys but I can't type in it xd

[lyric mountain]

u can also remove the power cord and wait a few minutes to reset the cmos

oh, remove the battery too

[ancient nova]

it goes into black screen after booting up, straight into it, all I can see is my mouse

okay what's cmos?

[lyric mountain]

jsut remove the battery and the power cord

wait around a minute

[ancient nova]

I did

many times

[lyric mountain]

then use the eraser trick

if that fails, you'll probably need an ubuntu stick

[ancient nova]

I don't think that's my issue... I can't even boot into recovery mode

[lyric mountain]

that's the battery btw

[lyric mountain]

the eraser trick usually fixes weird errors

dont ask me why, it just works

we've been doing that for ages already, and most tech people ik also recommend doing that

[ancient nova]

well anyways if that doesn't work then what do I do?

I can't do literally nothing

oof wot

I was mashing keys again and now my PC started rebooting itself

[rustic nova]

yo is this hardware #development

[quartz kindle]

yes

[ancient nova]

nvm it's doing the "preparing automatic repair" thing again

[rustic nova]

whats happening

[ancient nova]

🙂

[rustic nova]

am smort

whats issue

[quartz kindle]

pc dead

garbage

[ancient nova]

my fucking PC stopped working randomly for no reason

[wheat mesa]

probably because you fucked with your regedit's gpu values :^)

[ancient nova]

yeah but that's not the issue

[wheat mesa]

You said you can see your cursor and nothing else, right?

[ancient nova]

it worked fine, for months it's definitely not the issue

[wheat mesa]

Sounds GPU related to me

[ancient nova]

yes

I can see the logo and the booting animation when I first power it on

[wheat mesa]

Just because it worked before doesn't mean it works forever

[rustic nova]

dead cpu?

overheat?

[quartz kindle]

nah that aint gpu

[rustic nova]

dead power supply?

[ancient nova]

then it just goes black before anything else

[rustic nova]

what did you do before that

[ancient nova]

can't even touch recovery mode

[wheat mesa]

But the most likely thing is probably just some sort of OS corruption or slight hardware issue

[ancient nova]

I don't have an ubuntu stick

[rustic nova]

but it still boots right?

just not into the os?

[wheat mesa]

inb4 his SSD is fucking dead, had that happen to me

[rustic nova]

thats what I'm thinking if it still boots but not into os

[wheat mesa]

Booted into the bios and it said "0.0gb/0.0gb" free

SSD was fried

[rustic nova]

nice space

[wheat mesa]

Had to buy a new one

[ancient nova]

okay let me write down what happens in steps

1. I press the power button
2. PC logo shows and it does the circle animation thing
3. Either boots straight to black with mouse or does "preparing recovery mode" then goes to black with mouse

[rustic nova]

dead/corrupted harddrive

[wheat mesa]

sounds like an OS corruption issue

[rustic nova]

does it show the windows 10 rotating logo?

aka that circle with the dots?

[ancient nova]

it does

[rustic nova]

then ded os

[wheat mesa]

Yeah definitely OS

[ancient nova]

bruh

[rustic nova]

ye dead os

reinstall, perhaps hook up the drive to another pc

to recover

does it not jump into recovery either?

[ancient nova]

no it shows that but my pcs manufacturer logo it never goes into this screen

[rustic nova]

so no loading circle like that one?

[wheat mesa]

Get a USB stick, go on to another windows pc and download the boot media tool, install a windows 10 iso on the USB stick, plug it into your PC, go into bios and set it as your boot device

[ancient nova]

it has the circle but a different logo

[rustic nova]

thats normal, manufacturers can modify it

[ancient nova]

yes either "loading" or "preparing recovery mode"

[rustic nova]

give it a bit of time on that screen

give it like 10 minutes

[ancient nova]

I waited an hour

[rustic nova]

oop

no thats not it

[ancient nova]

nope

[lyric mountain]

ah wait, I just remembered

[rustic nova]

dead os

surely

[wheat mesa]

If you want to get to the bios, boot up the PC while spamming the delete key

[lyric mountain]

bae is the one who used regedit to change how much ram the computer sees

[ancient nova]

vram*

[wheat mesa]

on most manufacturers it works

[ancient nova]

and it worked for months

fine

[wheat mesa]

doesn't mean it works forever dude

[solemn latch]

Some motherboards will not go to bios while spamming

[wheat mesa]

you shouldn't do that

[solemn latch]

And only work if you hit them once

[ancient nova]

okay but it randomly decided to die that just doesn't happen

[solemn latch]

But that's uncommon

[wheat mesa]

manually touching regedit values without truly knowing what you're doing is a terrible idea

[ancient nova]

worked fine yesterday

I can record it?

[ancient nova]

I have a backup

[wheat mesa]

"it worked once so it must work forever right!"

[lyric mountain]

ubuntu stick maybe?

meh

[ancient nova]

what is winpeshl.exe?

[lyric mountain]

idk then, maybe u can boot it on console mode?

[ancient nova]

i massed my keys again I got the right click menu pop up and pressed details

[pale vessel]

You can't boot to safe mode?

[ancient nova]

this popped up

[ancient nova]

nope

[pale vessel]

Just backup your data from a portable linux instance and reinstall windows

[lyric mountain]

they dont have an ubuntu stick

[wheat mesa]

if it doesn't boot then it's most likely irreparably damaged tbh, windows rarely is able to fix itself in my experience

[pale vessel]

sfc /scannow is what they all say

Totally works

[ancient nova]

I can't open cmd

[wheat mesa]

fuck you is what my drive always says back :^)

[earnest phoenix]

Windows' scan functionality be like

print("Scanning for issues...")
sleep(60)
print("No issues found.")

[wheat mesa]

true

[earnest phoenix]

Let's get this straight from the ground up, first of all what Windows edition are you running? Some have different ways of booting into the Command Prompt for such scenarios

A Windows edition can be Windows 10 or Windows 11 for example

[ancient nova]

windows 10 personal edition it was pretty sure

I don't remember

[ancient nova]

went into the black screen with just the cursor again

[earnest phoenix]

Are you able to get into the recovery environment?

[ancient nova]

no I tried holding and mashing F11, F10 and ALT + F10

it showed that initial "Please wait" text but booted straight into black

[earnest phoenix]

If those don't work then there's an alternative way, you can power off the PC 3 times right when the Windows logo appears to boot into the recovery environment on the 4th try

[ancient nova]

yeah I know it does that "preparing automatic repair" as u see above but it boots into black yet again

bruh and I finally started making progress on the game

and all my fucking other games which I didn't finish

😁

[earnest phoenix]

That's not the recovery environment status, Windows itself is trying to automatically repair itself, not boot into the recovery environment

[ancient nova]

well then it never tried ig, I restarted it like 20 times at this point

all I can turn on is winpeshl.exe when in the black screen

it looks like cmd but I can't type anything in it

[earnest phoenix]

That shouldn't even appear in the first place

You've probably fucked up too much

If the aforementioned solutions don't work at all you have no choice but to burn a Windows 10 ISO to a USB drive and boot into the recovery environment from there using the options it provides

It runs entirely on the USB drive so your regedits won't affect it

[ancient nova]

bruh I didn't even do anything

it worked fine yesteday

[earnest phoenix]

Doesn't mean it'll work as always

[wheat mesa]

OSs are very complex

[lyric mountain]

if u have a spare computer, install some linux distro into it and boot through it

[ancient nova]

I don't

[earnest phoenix]

@ancient nova let me ask you something, why did you even edit the registry?

[lyric mountain]

to run gta v

[ancient nova]

I swear to god this has nothing to do with the registry, I only edited that one single value "DedicatedSegmentSize" to allow myself to play the games that need 2GB+ vram (since I got only 1GB they wouldn't let me even open them) it worked, for months I was able to play games without lag or anything happening

just yesterday everything was fine

so I don't get it

[solemn latch]

I've had issues with a registry edit I did once every Tuesday for some reason

[ancient nova]

so it just randomly decided to say " fuck it I'm never gonna boot up ever again" xd

[solemn latch]

Only had issues on Tuesdays

[ancient nova]

so windows fucking broke itself is that what you are saying

[lyric mountain]

at least it's not fridays

[ancient nova]

I'll sue them if I have to idgaf imagine my PC was some important government property

it's still important

I had my shit on there

[lyric mountain]

find a friend to install ubuntu for u

or buy a cd whatever (if they still sell it)

[ancient nova]

bro that's not the thing that caused this and you know it

worked for literal months or even years at this point

[lyric mountain]

if u can get to the files, it's possible to retrieve the system logs

to see the real cause

but it's most likely something was written where it shouldn't which caused the deadlock

[ancient nova]

yesterday after I finished working on my game I compiled it, saved into a rar and sent to myself on Discord, then I just turned it off
ever since morning this happens when I turn it on

[lyric mountain]

that's not what I mean

the computer does stuff under the hood frequently, like regular checks, validations, dumps, etc

[ancient nova]

so if windows killed itself I'm eligable for compensation idgaf I lost something I worked hard on

[lyric mountain]

the change to segmentation size might have affected where the computer saved something, which might have corrupted some files from having trailing/leading bytes overwritten

[earnest phoenix]

The segment size should not be fucked with, if some games are able to go beyond the specified limit and write something dedicated to the non-existent segments (which you've specified higher than the existing ones), it can break some parts of the OS

It can also be that you've also accidentally edited or deleted a registry value related to the boot process

If that's not the case then Windows also saves user session states every time you power off or restart, which if corrupted can cause issues, these states are either written to the disk or the boot partition

This issue can also occur if you're using an unstable build of Windows, which can be the Windows Insider builds

[ancient nova]

well I'm not

[lyric mountain]

well, there are 3 lessons to be learned here:

1 - use git (or any other versioning) if u cant afford to lose your work
2 - don't tamper with highly sensitive settings (aka regedit) unless you have 101% certainty of what ur doing
3 - have an ubuntu stick somewhere, even if you'll never use it, it's inexpensive and a lifesaver when u computer doesn't boot

unity and UE have highly integrated versioning tools, there's really no reason not to use it

you can still save your data, if you find someone to borrow a linux pendrive

[earnest phoenix]

Then the previous reasons can be the cause, although it can also be something obscure that something has changed

[knotty quartz]

Hi! I found an error:

This is only temporary while I begin looking into databases

        const { premium }  = require('./premium.json')
        if (!premium.includes(interaction.user.id)) {
        return interaction.reply('You are not a premium member.')
    }```

This doesn't seem to work ^^

Any databases suggestions will work too.

[ancient nova]

I can try disconnecting my mouse and keyboard ig

even my hdmi cable

and plug it back in like 20 minutes

[drifting cairn]

mongodb

[knotty quartz]

Can you send the link in DMs please. Ive heard about it before, just can't find it.

[drifting cairn]

ill just send it here
https://www.mongodb.com

[knotty quartz]

Also what is wrong with this? it won't send the message if you arent in the list.

[lyric mountain]

btw, it doesn't work cuz u used { premium }

I don't think u can do decomposing in json imports

[knotty quartz]

What would I need instead then?

[lyric mountain]

premium

[knotty quartz]

Oh so it only works for checking

[knotty quartz]

Thank you!!!

[lyric mountain]

btw I recommend some sql database if u plan on having relationships between data

[knotty quartz]

Thank you!

[earnest phoenix]

You can do destructing on JSON requires, because they're turned into a regular object, however JSON imports (which are still experimental and requires an import assertion) doesn't support destructing

[knotty quartz]

Voltrex, how much I do that then for the statement above.

[knotty quartz]

What plan would you say to look at?

[lyric mountain]

oh

[earnest phoenix]

You said you're encountering an error, what exactly is the error?

[knotty quartz]

It just returns the message when I am in the ID list.

It supposed to send it if I'm not on the list.

[earnest phoenix]

Have you tried logging the premium array and see if it's what you expect?

[knotty quartz]

{
"premium": ['698580675896279092']
}```

premium.json

Would you recommend another method of doing this?

[earnest phoenix]

That probably happens because you may be importing it once, which won't change the array if you modify it somewhere else, you should try logging the values you're trying to check

[ancient nova]

why not just do
[id, id2, id3] lmao

[earnest phoenix]

And use a database

[ancient nova]

what's the json for

[knotty quartz]

Thanks, your recommendations on databases? Just I have 2.

[ancient nova]

@earnest phoenix if I take out my HDD how can I take the data out of it? do I out it in another PC?

[knotty quartz]

Keeping it neater, I mean I could try the array inside the script but how do i check if the user is in that array??

[earnest phoenix]

You should use PostgreSQL if you're looking for a scalable database, MongoDB is also fine but it's not that scalable

[knotty quartz]

Thank you, can I have the guide to the first one 😄

[ancient nova]

make a file with just
[
]
and u can refrenece it and just do .includes(...)

[earnest phoenix]

Just plug the HDD to a different PC and you should be able to get all the data you need

[ancient nova]

to check the contents

[ancient nova]

I still have a little bit of hope

[knotty quartz]

Thats what the json file is doing

[ancient nova]

I will wait like an entire day

before trying to boot again

[knotty quartz]

What happened?

[ancient nova]

basically my PC decided to just kill itself randomly for no reason

and now doesn't want to boot up no matter what

[knotty quartz]

Oh, R.I.P

[earnest phoenix]

Official PostgreSQL documentation:

Try removing the cables for power and plug them back in or hold the power button to force shut off and then reboot.

Even my grandma can do better than that

[quartz kindle]

lmao

[knotty quartz]

Yep!

[knotty quartz]

Even my rabbit can do better

[quartz kindle]

as someone who forged documents with photoshop, ew

[knotty quartz]

Another one if all fails: https://windowsreport.com/windows-10-wont-boot/

Omg a good picture?

I need to full on examine this.

[earnest phoenix]

That's still pretty bad

[sudden geyser]

Open your internal computer and see if there's a skull on the cpu

[knotty quartz]

Looks like a google one.

[knotty quartz]

Amazing summary.

The zoom in of it sucks 😭

[earnest phoenix]

When your computer does the 💀 reaction on you for fucking up

[knotty quartz]

What apps do you lot use to stop ads on websites?

[earnest phoenix]

There's uBlock Origin, probably the best one

[knotty quartz]

Thanks, just normal websites are annoying me with like 80 adds for one page flick.

With Grammarly you will never have to worryyyy about that againnn 👿

JetBrains' cookie prompt is the only original one I've seen in a long while

Holy-- A good one 😮

[sudden geyser]

The best cookie prompt is the one that doesn't exist

[knotty quartz]

I agree with that one

[earnest phoenix]

So true

[knotty quartz]

ublock is amazing

Also gn people

I got to sleep so i can actually deal with the 6 cruel hours of school tommorrow

[lyric mountain]

u can also use help and it works

[ancient nova]

@earnest phoenix @lyric mountain YOO

I LEFT MY PC ON THAT BLACK SCREEN AND FOR THE FIRST TIME IT SAYS "DIAGNOSING UR PC"

DO YOU THINK IT WILL TURN ON RECOVERY MODE OR FIX ITSELF?

[lyric mountain]

who knows, let it finish

[wheat mesa]

doubt

your windows is fucked

[lyric mountain]

depending on what windows checks, it might revert the changed regedit values

[ancient nova]

idk what it's doing but it's the first time it's done that so far so I'm hopeful

[wheat mesa]

inb4 you lost all your data on your hard drive and your OS is reinstalling itself

[sharp geyser]

what you do this time

[wheat mesa]

his pc won't boot

[sharp geyser]

what he do

[wheat mesa]

unknown reason

probably related to the regedit thing

[sharp geyser]

people need to stop fucking with regedit

[lyric mountain]

more specifically, edited segmentation info to increase visible vram to be able to play games with min req 2gb while having 1gb

[ancient nova]

😔

it worked, for months and now decided to break randomly 💀

[sharp geyser]

That is by far the dumbest idea

[ancient nova]

yoooo

it's saying "repairing disk errors"

😤

[sharp geyser]

then it will say "Reinstalling Windows"

[lyric mountain]

do what u do, DON'T SHUT DOWN THE PC NOW

[ancient nova]

I hope it doesn't do that 🗿

[ancient nova]

don't worry I'm not that dumb

[sharp geyser]

welllll

[ancient nova]

unless the power decides to cut 🗿

[sharp geyser]

Shutting down while it does that isn't as dumb as fucking with regedit while not being experienced

[ancient nova]

I read about it before changing the regedit

[sharp geyser]

[ancient nova]

changed it to the recommended value for the amount of ram I got

[sharp geyser]

yes and that makes you an expert

[ancient nova]

anddd it said it wasn't anything dangerous

[lyric mountain]

anything that starts with seg is dangerous

[earnest phoenix]

Except for the segway to today's sponsor, NordVPN

[sharp geyser]

NordVPN sucks

ExpressVPN better

[ancient nova]

make your own VPN 😎

[quartz kindle]

mudfish best

[earnest phoenix]

Nah, tried ExpressVPN; works way slower than NordVPN, and it isn't as customizable

Though one thing I hate about NordVPN is it's buggy CLI for Linux, it works most of the time but sometimes it just goes haywire

[ancient nova]

what should I do if it manages to fix itself?

anything specific?

[quartz kindle]

i put 5 bucks in mudfish like 8 years ago and i still have half of it unspent

they charge per gb not per month

[earnest phoenix]

Check the system logs to see what issue was causing it to not boot, it should be logged with very specific information

[ancient nova]

where are they located?

[earnest phoenix]

You can check that with the Event Viewer application

Start > Control Panel > System and Security > Administrative Tools > Event Viewer

[ancient nova]

alright

once it boots into windows am I safe to power it off?

[lyric mountain]

when it finishes everything, yes

[ancient nova]

great

btw @earnest phoenix have you played the concept demo I sent to u in dms?

since my PC is probably going to work again I'll quickly make a git backup

[earnest phoenix]

I haven't played it yet because I was switching back from Fedora to Ubuntu (because Fedora ships bleeding-edge software that are too unstable to use), so yeah

I'll play-test it tomorrow

[solemn latch]

Surfshark is really bad

Worst vpn I've ever gotten and I bought two years of it

[ancient nova]

alr ty

btw the graphic bugs that wine experienced should be fixed

it was because too many light sources were being redered at the same time

the LOD system I added turns off any light sources that you can't see

increased the performance also

[lyric mountain]

that's not lod, that's occlusion culling

[earnest phoenix]

I'll be play-testing it with Steam Proton, not just Wine alone

[ancient nova]

I used a LOD for that

since it automatically toggles off any gameobjects that are far away from you

[earnest phoenix]

Because the latest stable release of Wine (which is v7) isn't available for Ubuntu 22.04 yet

[ancient nova]

which works with scriptables, models and even light or sound

[ancient nova]

ah that's fine

also increased the graphics a lot, since the performance improvement was so high I also added realtime shadows

[lament rock]

imagine realtime lightmap baking if the whole scene was procedural

[lyric mountain]

just a thing, your walls doesn't make much sense

like, make them connect to each other

like an office

[ancient nova]

nah the backrooms walls are actually supposed to be like that

[lyric mountain]

you sure?

[ancient nova]

yeah, google some pictures

[lyric mountain]

because iirc they're office-like rooms

[earnest phoenix]

Well not all of them are supposed to be separate

[ancient nova]

randomly segmented is a keyword

[earnest phoenix]

A decent amount of them are also connected

[ancient nova]

I'll make it better

I just threw together a quick example scene

I will add more biomes and structures

btw I also added a very cool movement effect with cinemachine, it feels really realistic

[earnest phoenix]

Hmm, I'm just gonna test it now give me a few minutes

[ancient nova]

sure

try taking a few screenshots also if possible

[ancient nova]

someones picture from google

they also went for that randomly placed aspect

[earnest phoenix]

Your "playable" demo didn't even launch

[ancient nova]

what?

you executed the backrooms the travelers guide exe?

[earnest phoenix]

Yes

[ancient nova]

ok.. I'm not sure why

what does it do?

does it just not open at all?

[lyric mountain]

u should store logs for the game btw

like for bots

[ancient nova]

won't that be kinda bad?

like I'm logging who's playing my game lol

unity should throw and error code if somethings wrong so it's up to the people playing to report it ig

[earnest phoenix]

That's also with the latest stable release of Steam Proton

[lyric mountain]

the log will be on the player's pc

when I say "log" i mean like literal logfiles

like you'd have on a bot

[ancient nova]

well I've honestly got no idea why

[ancient nova]

yeah I could

[earnest phoenix]

I'm gonna try it with just plain Wine and see how it goes, Steam Proton sometimes has issues with non-Steam games

[ancient nova]

hopefully it works, it's weird that there is no errors

yall my PC booted 😭😭😭

[lyric mountain]

first thing: revert the regedit

second: make backups

third: make a restoration point

[earnest phoenix]

Man fix your game

[spark flint]

https://tenor.com/view/cookie-cookies-gif-19170472

ask the cookie monster

[ancient nova]

ok what it's beeb like 20 minutes, I put in my password and it's sitting on the desktop, but the desktop is black and there is no icons on the task bar besides the windows logo and the search key 😔
