[lyric mountain]

just call it kevin and call it a day

[slim heart]

real

dismissible content?

maybe

[queen needle]

Which is it? Kevin? Day?

[pale vessel]

everyone just calls it announcement banner

https://hackernoon.com/how-to-add-an-announcement-banner-to-your-react-navbar

it looks exactly like you described

[slim heart]

yeah

alright

thanks everyone

[tulip ledge]

I have a discord channel in the support server where a message gets sent if someone votes

[deft wolf]

Another way may be to send a "vote reminder" each time a command is used in a row. I've seen a lot of bots do something like this

It's probably not that pushy because they use commands anyway

[slim heart]

omg

@pale vessel @queen needle @lyric mountain it’s a nagbar

[deft wolf]

What a strange name

[lyric mountain]

nagbar next to the navbar

brilliant

[hidden gorge]

cant find the VC i dont know why

 else if (DevCode === "hooligang") {
                const VCID = "1185235397266116611";
                const Song = path.join(__dirname, "../../assets/dev/hooligang.mp3");

                console.log("Attempting to join voice channel and play audio...");

                try {
                    const guild = await client.guilds.fetch(interaction.guildId);
                    const channel = guild.channels.cache.find(ch => ch.id === VCID && ch.type === 'GUILD_VOICE');

                    if (channel) {
                        console.log("Voice channel found:", channel.name);

                        await interaction.reply("Joining voice channel and playing audio...");

                        const connection = await channel.join();
                        console.log("Connected to voice channel.");

                        connection.play(Song, { volume: 1.0 });
                        console.log("Audio played successfully.");
                    } else {
                        console.log("Voice channel not found.");
                    }
                } catch (error) {
                    console.error("Error:", error);
                }
            }

ok now its saying this but the channel is valid

[wheat mesa]

You don’t need to use .find here

Just use .get('ID')

Channels are not always cached as well iirc

Fetch the channel

When in doubt, fetch it out

[hidden gorge]

thanks @wheat mesa

i updated it to use @discordjs/voice

Yoo questions

When do you guys believe i should start sharding?

[flat yew]

Bruh

WHERE DO I GET HELP FOR A RCE KILLFEED BOT

“Oh their discord is great they’re always lending a helping hand” IVE BEEN HERE FOR HOURS AND THIS ENTIRE DISCORD DOESNT EVEN MENTION RUST WTF

[deft wolf]

It is probably recommended for a thousand servers. At two thousand your bot will not connect without sharding, but the sooner you prepare for it, the better, depending on the sharding you want to use

[lament rock]

Depends on what type of bot you have and your architecture.
If you're running into issues where 1 thread isn't able to process ws messages then either your gateway wrapper sucks or you have expensive logic and that's when you should shard. Benchmark it
Having to process MESSAGE_CREATE is a huge performance hit and if you can avoid it, do.

[deft wolf]

If they don't want to help you on their support server, you won't find anyone like that here either

[lament rock]

discord.js (just using it as an example) is also a pretty bad architecture because they make use of the ws module. Thanks to good ol Tim, the gateway wrapper I maintain has a slimmed down ws implementation with its own fast etf encoder and decoder. Not plugging, just saying that your libraries play a big part of your performance and it's good to take heapdumps and run timings

I used djs before and ran into horrible event loop lag because of processing a ton of message creates. This was at around 7k+ guilds 3 shards

Now I can put all of my shards on a cluster on the same thread and things are a-o-good

Though I also dont have to process message creates

[winged linden]

Not having any problems atm with interactions

My only concern is events honestly

[winged linden]

What libraries are you using?

I am using djs💀

[lament rock]

CloudStorm for ws and SnowTransfer for HTTP

[winged linden]

CloudStorm is just a better sharding manager right?

[lament rock]

no. It is the gateway connection

[radiant kraken]

@wheat mesa me when my rust struct is not CoreWrapper<CtVariableCoreWrapper<Sha256VarCore, UInt<UInt<UInt<UInt<UInt<UInt<UTerm, B1>, _>, _>, _>, _>, _>, OidSha256>> 😔

[sharp geyser]

What in the actual fuck

[radiant kraken]

[tawny lava]

I mean they are the wrong types xd

[lyric mountain]

Uint<Uint<Uint<Uint<Uint<Uint<>, _>, _>, _>, _>, _> lmao

what even is the reason for such deep nesting?

[harsh aspen]

Anyone knows how vote reminders logic work?

[deft wolf]

There are probably several ways to do this

[harsh aspen]

can you tell me 1

[deft wolf]

The most logical way is to take the date from the webhook when the user voted for your bot and then add 12 hours to this date and, for example, check the database every few minutes for timestamps that have already passed, i.e. 12 hours have passed since the vote

[lyric mountain]

check every hour, then schedule all reminders within that hour as setTimeouts

this way u access the db only once

[deft wolf]

[harsh aspen]

I'm thinking about just setTimeout when the user votes
and schedule all reminders again If I restarted the bot
does this work or will consume more resources?

[lyric mountain]

consumes more

because you'll do an extra operation

[harsh aspen]

all right will apply that thx

[thorny cargo]

can somebody help, I implemented this code so I can ush emojis into my db, but I am frasturated, any way I can add a check for default emojis ? :

    await Promise.all(
      emojis.map(async (emoji) => {
        const match = emoji.match(/(?:<a?:)?(\w+):(\d+)>?/);

        if (match) {
          const emojiName = match[1];

          console.log("Emoji Name:", emojiName);

          const emojiValid = interaction.guild.emojis.cache.find(
            (emoji) => emoji.name === emojiName
          );
          if (emojiValid) {
            await abot.db.push(`autoreact_${interaction.guild.id}`, {
              emojis: emoji,
            });
            interaction.editReply({ content: `Added ${emoji}` });
          } else {
            interaction.followUp({
              content: `emoji ${emoji} is not a valid emoji, I cant find it!`,
            });
            return;
          }
        }
      })
    );

cant find anything in the docs

[wheat mesa]

Please don’t use an async function inside of a map

[lyric mountain]

beware, if you're using mysql the maximum length for VARCHAR is 191, if you use the default length of 255 it'll cause errors when saving and/or potentially corrupt other rows

that is, if you're saving unicode emojis on the db

[thorny cargo]

I am not, I am using mongo db, but that is not the issue here

[thorny cargo]

why's that

[quartz kindle]

async map combined with promise.all is a totally valid use case, nothing wrong with it

[wheat mesa]

Really?

I was under the assumption you never combined an async function inside of map

[quartz kindle]

using async inside of a map will essentially convert all items into promises

there are many use cases for that

[wheat mesa]

Perhaps I was thinking of people doing await something.map(async x => …)

[quartz kindle]

yeah that doesnt really do anything

[wheat mesa]

Since that await wouldn’t stop anything

[quartz kindle]

also those weirdoes that use map like a foreach

without using the return value

[spark pebble]

Random question, can you link commands, in an embed?

[pale vessel]

yes, you can

[spark pebble]

cheers mate

[lament rock]

Just one Promise.all from making the magic happen

One of the devs I worked with on my bot sent this

[wheat mesa]

people trying to use rust-level type theory in ts

lol

[lament rock]

They do know rust, but :)

Thats probably how I'd do it

also thats just jsdoc not ts directly. Ik jsdoc is backed by ts but

[quartz kindle]

sounds like excessive typing

[lament rock]

They avert ts because they want to skip the build step. It also complicates the file tree sometimes when there is a build step involved since we also wrote our own hot reloader and make use of it heavily so something like minification isn't an option

Ive also had it happen where ctor names are changed between builds

[green kestrel]

getting people inviting and kicking my bot repeatedly, this happened on a previous bot too, they invite it keep it for 30 or so seconds without doing any commands or anything then kick it,.then they repeat maybe ten times, sometimes it ends with the bot staying other times not.

I don't think they just didn't like the features as they didn't try any,.I'm thinking something like wick is fighting the inviter.

has anyone else seen this, I've seen it on several bots now and it's annoying from a retention standpoint.

[deft wolf]

It probably happens in a lot of cases, but no one pays much attention to it

I don't know what could be the reason for this, but let's just say that I wasn't even that interested in it

Situations like this are an everyday occurrence and it doesn't surprise me after a year

[spark flint]

wick kicks instantly

[distant basin]

hey can i force a user to be in specific color in my bot page? from this.
i asked that in the support channel so i know that i can do that using css but like how can i do that?
didnt see this channel so maybe someone here knows

[green oxide]

yo, is it not allowed to save recently deleted message in temporary cache

[lyric mountain]

according to discord, no

[green oxide]

dayumn

thats sad

[lyric mountain]

lemme guess, you were making a snipe command

[green kestrel]

you can output it to a log channel

[hidden gorge]

Quick question anyone know a good service to accept payment for a premium system?

[green kestrel]

chargebee+ Stripe

[hidden gorge]

thing is stripe needs my SSN

which idk

[green kestrel]

so do you want people to trust you to enter their details into your site and take money from them

or do you want to stay anonymous? there are no legit anonymous real businesses

[hidden gorge]

i mean like i dont know my own SSN

[green kestrel]

well you'll need it

[hidden gorge]

i can ask

[green kestrel]

for a great many things

also you need to be an adult

I assume you are, right?

you can't sign the contract and get merchant accounts and stuff <18

[wheat mesa]

he’s like 14

[green kestrel]

no go then unless you get a parent or legal guardian to administrate the business side for you

this is one of many reasons you don't meet many 14 year old business owners

that and if your bot takes off running the business side takes a fair bit of free time

[polar pewter]

Beautiful flags on the website :3

I get that I'm probably missing noto-fonts-emoji package or whatever it's called

no wait it's installed

intereseting

[lyric mountain]

imagine wanting nitro

right @harsh nova?

[harsh nova]

thx

[lyric mountain]

that appears to be the screenreader caption, and besides, flags are supported in most default fonts anyway

try seeing if there's any error in F12 menu

[deft wolf]

#topgg-api too

[hidden gorge]

im 16..

[wheat mesa]

Could’ve sworn I remember you saying you were 14 like not too long ago

Either way still too young for a stripe account

[deft wolf]

It was almost a year ago

[quaint rampart]

does anyone know any good wake word engines out there? i attempted using Picovoice but when using it with Discord audio it’s not very accurate although on the browser it is.

i’ve also attempted to use Snowboy but it’s too outdated, couldn’t even get it to work due to a billion deprecated things and i don’t think it would be very practical

[tulip ledge]

Yeah you wont be able to legally charge money from people I had to wait to turn 18 before being able to use those services

Stripe needs you to be 18

Discord aswell

You need to be of legal age to sign conttacts, since you essentially are

So you’ll have to get a guardian to do that for you

[arctic arch]

[polar pewter]

I think the python version is cleaner, on the right is the old JS one and on the left is new Python version which is part of a rewrite

[lyric mountain]

they'll both end the same tbh

the extra lines are the fields TS side has that py doesnt yet

[sharp geyser]

pythons syntax was made so that 5 year olds can understand it

[hot sleet]

is there any guide of how to make html for long description

my html code just don't show right when i review the page!

[lyric mountain]

any html tutorial in general

dont use <body> or <head> tags tho

they'll prevent the inner code from working

[polar pewter]

I got this working :3

[radiant kraken]

even then they still couldn't get over the indentation tho

[lament rock]

The only reason it's cleaner is partly because you aren't making use of modern JS syntax like optional chaining and you are unnecessarily repeating some variable names when accessors can be chained

[lyric mountain]

and those replaces could be swapped for map + loop

and as FaKe always said, just use the embed constructor instead of method chaining

[solemn latch]

👀 also a typed language vs a non typed language.
While those checks all happening inside TS are not entirely strictly necessary here they in theory make the code safer and less likely to error.

Since the post is about clean code, I personally would suggest making a getMemberJoinSettings function.

You'll need to get those settings at other points in your code anyway, and adding a function to handle getting them all will make it easier to add other potential settings later on.

But that suggestion is a personal preference. Not everyone likes going that route.

[lyric mountain]

you think very java

I like you woo

[wheat mesa]

Valid

[lament rock]

I don't think it's just a Java thing. Having it be in a function would mean JIT can happen faster for that code

[knotty quartz]

hi

[quaint rampart]

does anyone know any good wake word engines out there? i attempted using Picovoice but when using it with Discord audio it’s not very accurate although on the browser it is. i’ve also attempted to use Snowboy but it’s too outdated, couldn’t even get it to work due to a billion deprecated things and i don’t think it would be very practical

[solemn latch]

👀

[solemn latch]

With the price of picovoice I assume this is a one off single server bot, or a public bot which will be paid and will likely be intended for large communities. would requiring a high bitrate voice channel be a viable solution instead?

You may also want to just play around with the wake word you choose, could be more reliable

[sharp geyser]

Ayo nah 500/month is crazy

I mean I get it

but no way should someone be using that in a bot

unless they for sure know its going to succeed

[stiff dust]

Hello, I have a cache DB and a Data Base in MongoDB now data is what I save in my cache and data[db[subCommandGroup] could be feature_auto_thread_channels or feature_auto_publish_channels now I know how to update it in cache but don't how to update it in DB and what should I write instead of AAAAA the only way I know is updating both of them like the second code

data[db[subCommandGroup]].splice(index, 1); // Update in Cache

await guildsModel.updateOne(                // Update in DB
    { guild_id: interaction.guild.id },
    { AAAAA: data[db[subCommandGroup]] }
);

data[db[subCommandGroup]].splice(index, 1); // Update in Cache

await guildsModel.updateOne(                // Update in DB
    { guild_id: interaction.guild.id },
    {
        feature_auto_thread_channels: data.feature_auto_thread_channels,
        feature_auto_publish_channels: data.feature_auto_publish_channels
    }
);

[novel snow]

Running into an odd issue, simply put:

vc.permissionOverwrites.edit(interaction.guild.id, {Connect: null,});

This ignores setting the connect value to not have a specific override anymore, is there any other way to fix this?
Discord JS v14 btw.

[queen needle]

should it be connect not Connect?

[novel snow]

Nope, not sure why it does need to be Connect however, but that isn't the issue, it is that it accepts both true and false statements for the appropriate permission, so to allow or deny it specifically, however assigning it null will not set it to neutral in-between.

[wooden ember]

I wonder how long it would take to program a bot in assembly

would that even be possible since you would have to write everything down to various messaging protocolls

also this was supposed to be a responce to another message but discord did the thing where it didnt scroll to the bottom

oh well still an interesting thought

[copper cradle]

not really, you could use something like concord and not have to reinvent the wheel for the interaction with the api

[copper cradle]

lmao I hate when that happens

[wooden ember]

yeah

what is concord?

other than the cool jet

[copper cradle]

it's a C discord api lib

[wooden ember]

theres a discord api in C????

[copper cradle]

the api is language agnostic, you just need to interact with it however you want

[wooden ember]

damn that means I could program an esp32 to host a discord bot

[copper cradle]

it's just a bunch of web requests, wanna write a bot in common lisp? Then use the API directly or find a library that does most of the heavy lifting for you or abstracts everything into a nice layer

[wooden ember]

sounds fun

[copper cradle]

I kinda want to give the assembly discord bot a try

yk what I'll do it out of sheer boredom

[wooden ember]

would be fun

lol

[copper cradle]

@wooden ember bot's online

the bot does nothing

it just connects to the gateway

but hey

it's written in assembly at least

I'm gonna make it respond to a ping command

[radiant kraken]

congrats

[radiant kraken]

sounds pretty simple enough

[copper cradle]

I mean I don't plan on turning this into my next project

[radiant kraken]

just listen to a message event -> check if the message content is !ping -> respond with pong

[copper cradle]

yeah it's pretty simple

[lament rock]

cursed

Gateway and rest is pretty challenging if you follow the guidelines to the T even for something like JS

[radiant kraken]

he just used a C library and use it from assembly

[lament rock]

ah ok

[copper cradle]

^^^

I'm not gonna reinvent the wheel

[lament rock]

Not as impressive but still

[radiant kraken]

make the bot in C and then compile that C source into an assembly file

[copper cradle]

[copper cradle]

it's done

[earnest phoenix]

can anyone help?

[deft wolf]

Ask on #support, not here

[marsh bluff]

Does anyone have recommendations or best practices on how to test new features of a verified bot? I am trying to test the discord premium app features, and I need to keep the stable version running, but also run another version for testing. Should I implement a testing mode where the testing version does not handle any interactions besides those of testing users?

[eternal osprey]

I expect they are easyer to code for these dayse since they have their own endpoint and dont have to scan every message but either way it works.

how much ram does it use?

[radiant kraken]

just a few bytes

[timber hatch]

does anyone know an efficient way or storing and retreiving user guilds using next auth? my current attempt is to:

fetch them from discord api upon login ->
store them in mongodb

then when a user goes to /manage for example, i would make a request to my nextjs backend to get the users guilds rom the db.

it works but i feel as though it's nowhere near the most efficient or good practice way of doing it

[vivid fulcrum]

i'd advise you not to store guilds

[lyric mountain]

Or any discord entity whatsoever

[quartz kindle]

imma store your mom

[vivid fulcrum]

make an API request to Discord whenever you need the data and then cache it temporarily on your frontend

if you store the guilds you'll also have to ensure that guild data is not stale (i.e. update the database if the user joined more guilds or left some)

[copper cradle]

I can check but it probably uses a few KBs

the entire thing is using 182.076MB, so still quite a lot

but yeah, the main process itself uses just a few KBs

the rest are from the external libraries

[copper cradle]

huh, pmap is reporting odd numbers, I might need to use a different tool

found the culprit

~35.9MB For the "assembly" bot
~113.9MB For the js bot <- run using node

I want to create a command to refresh my commands so that way I dont need to restart bot to update a file so basicly I set command files in client.commands collection again but there is a problem!

my bot is sharded so if I use the command it will only refresh the commands for the shard I use the command on it

soooo I should use broadcastEval to run it in all shards

this is my code

await client.shard.broadcastEval(cli => {

    const fs = require('node:fs');

    fs.readdirSync('./commands/messages/').forEach(dirs => {
        const commands = fs.readdirSync(`./commands/messages/${dirs}`).filter(files => files.endsWith('.js'));
        for (const file of commands) {
            const command = require(`../../../commands/messages/${dirs}/${file}`); // Ignore this one
            cli.messageCommands.set(command.name.toLowerCase(), command);
            delete require.cache[require.resolve(`../../../commands/messages/${dirs}/${file}`)];
        };
    });

});

and I tried all of these:

const command = require(`../../../commands/messages/${dirs}/${file}`)
const command = require(`./commands/messages/${dirs}/${file}`)
const command = require(`../${dirs}/${file}`)
const command = require(`${__dirname}/commands/messages/${dirs}/${file}`);
const command = require(path.join(__dirname, 'commands', 'messages', dirs, file));

and for all of them I get errors like these:

Cannot find module '../../../commands/messages/admin/eval.js'
Require stack:
/root/VOID/node_modules/discord.js/src/client/Client.js
/root/VOID/node_modules/discord.js/src/index.js
/root/VOID/bot.js

Cannot find module './commands/messages/admin/eval.js'
Require stack:
/root/VOID/node_modules/discord.js/src/client/Client.js
/root/VOID/node_modules/discord.js/src/index.js
/root/VOID/bot.js

Require stack:
/root/VOID/node_modules/discord.js/src/client/Client.js
/root/VOID/node_modules/discord.js/src/index.js
/root/VOID/bot.js

I asked in djs server and they told me this:

That‘ll not gonna work. that code will be evaluated inside the Client class. Which is somewhere deep in your node_modules folder.

so now I wanna know how can I refresh my commands without restart the bot

[quartz kindle]

try ```js
const command = require(${process.cwd()}/commands/messages/${dirs}/${file})

[neon leaf]

Gonna need a few PB for that

[green kestrel]

lol im at the devils number

[surreal sage]

i sure do love this

minor configuration error

[spark flint]

☠️ I’ve had that before

[surreal sage]

luckily there was literally no data

[radiant kraken]

which db is this

is this mongo

[surreal sage]

yeah

[radiant kraken]

rip

[deft wolf]

Mongo even has its own article describing what actually happened

[stiff dust]

I installed latest Node JS Version on the VPS but when I use node --version it shows me

root@iTzLinux:~# node --version
v16.20.0

then I try to install it again and shows me this

root@iTzLinux:~# nvm install v21.6.1
v21.6.1 is already installed.
Now using node v21.6.1 (npm v10.2.4)

how can I delete all node js versions from my VPS and install latest one

[stiff dust]

Tnx a lot it worked

[stiff dust]

1 more question with this command I can refresh my commands and events
But there is a problem after this part all events will run twice how can I stop old eventns and start new ones?

if (context.needToUpdate.includes('events')) {

    fs.readdirSync('events/').forEach(dirs => {
        const events = fs.readdirSync(`./events/${dirs}`).filter(file => file.endsWith('.js'));
        for (const file of events) {
            const event = require(`${process.cwd()}/events/${dirs}/${file}`);
            cli.on(file.split('.')[0], event.bind(null, cli));
            delete require.cache[require.resolve(`${process.cwd()}/events/${dirs}/${file}`)];
        };
    });

};

[pale vessel]

u have to store ur events inside an array to remove them and then re-add them

[stiff dust]

how to remove them?

[lyric mountain]

cli.removeListener()

[pale vessel]

cli.removeEventListener()

[lyric mountain]

ah they renamed it

[pale vessel]

they never did

[lyric mountain]

wasn't it removeListener?

[pale vessel]

nope

i don't think so. it's always been called that for nodejs events

[pearl trail]

nvm ls, and then nvm uninstall vX.X.X

[stiff dust]

https://nodejs.org/api/events.html#emitterremovelistenereventname-listener

its removeListener for node js

[pale vessel]

so it's the opposite?

they renamed to removeListener?

[lyric mountain]

there are both lmao

[stiff dust]

removeListener
removeEventListener

[pale vessel]

lol tf

[stiff dust]

which one

AAAAA

[pale vessel]

which one is deprecated?

[lyric mountain]

what a mess

neither are marked as deprecated

[pale vessel]

okay use removeEventListener

it's more verbose

[stiff dust]

ok just a question what should I pass as a call back?

[pale vessel]

the function u provided

[lyric mountain]

the event name and the handler itself

basically whatever u passed to cli.on()

[pale vessel]

that's why u store them. im not sure if it'd work if u remove the listener using the new function

i doubt, they're different functions

[lyric mountain]

delete -> load events -> register

[stiff dust]

well I load them like this

// Bot.js
client.events = new Discord.Collection(); // Add this line just now!
fs.readdirSync('events/').forEach(dirs => {
  const events = fs.readdirSync(`./events/${dirs}`).filter(file => file.endsWith('.js'));
  for (const file of events) {
    const event = require(`./events/${dirs}/${file}`);
    client.on(file.split('.')[0], event.bind(null, client));
    client.events.set(file.split('.')[0], event.bind(null, client)); // Add this line just now!
    delete require.cache[require.resolve(`./events/${dirs}/${file}`)];
  };
});

then in refresh command I will do it like

// Refresh Command
fs.readdirSync('events/').forEach(dirs => {
    const events = fs.readdirSync(`./events/${dirs}`).filter(file => file.endsWith('.js'));
    for (const file of events) {
        const event = require(`${process.cwd()}/events/${dirs}/${file}`);
        const callback = cli.events.get(file.split('.')[0]);
        cli.removeEventListener(file.split('.')[0], callback); // Add this line just now!
        cli.on(file.split('.')[0], event.bind(null, cli));
        delete require.cache[require.resolve(`${process.cwd()}/events/${dirs}/${file}`)];
    };
});

is it right?

[pale vessel]

make sure the event exists before attempting to remove the listener

i think that would crash during first time no?

[stiff dust]

well if they didnt exists they wouldnt add in the events collection

@pale vessel was that correct?

[pale vessel]

only one way to find out

[lyric mountain]

also store those splits in a constant

no need to do it thrice

event.bind too

[stiff dust]

Bot.js

client.events = new Discord.Collection();
fs.readdirSync('events/').forEach(dirs => {
  const events = fs.readdirSync(`./events/${dirs}`).filter(file => file.endsWith('.js'));
  for (const file of events) {
    const event = require(`./events/${dirs}/${file}`);
    const eventName = file.split('.')[0];
    const callBack = event.bind(null, client);
    client.on(eventName, callBack);
    client.events.set(eventName, callBack);
    delete require.cache[require.resolve(`./events/${dirs}/${file}`)];
  };
});

Command

const keys = [...cli.events.keys()];
for (const key of keys) {
    const callback = cli.events.get(key);
    cli.removeEventListener(key, callback);
};

fs.readdirSync('events/').forEach(dirs => {
    const events = fs.readdirSync(`./events/${dirs}`).filter(file => file.endsWith('.js'));
    for (const file of events) {
        const event = require(`${process.cwd()}/events/${dirs}/${file}`);
        cli.on(file.split('.')[0], event.bind(null, cli));
        delete require.cache[require.resolve(`${process.cwd()}/events/${dirs}/${file}`)];
    };
});

okay Ig it gonna work

cli.removeEventListener is not a function

fixed

[lyric mountain]

wtf sayu went full darkmode

hi sayu

[civic scroll]

i got through some stuffs

[lament rock]

Finally retroactively going through my code and removing alot of Array based logic where I either need indexing and/or dont need an ordered list

[lyric mountain]

bad stuff?

[lament rock]

Should give a decent performance uplift at scale as I was using an array for storing websocket sessions and had to filter a lot to send events to subscribers to a guild

[civic scroll]

yep

[radiant kraken]

it was bittersweet though

@lyric mountain soo i am still new to Java (and especially Gradle) and i've recently been working on adding a Java binding to my Rust project as my first attempt at a Java library

How do you go about publishing and later importing a Java library? So far now i can build a jar file from it, i've scoured around github and they all have different approaches into installing and/or exporting their libraries

https://github.com/null8626/decancer/tree/main/bindings/java

[surreal sage]

real

[wheat mesa]

lul have fun

Java libs are… interesting

[radiant kraken]

this is my first ever java library

[surreal sage]

decancer givecancer

[radiant kraken]

funny

[wheat mesa]

Look up “how to publish a java library” I think gradle actually has a decent example

Surprisingly

[lyric mountain]

well, it's a bit bureaucratic (is this the word?)

but once ur done setting up your credentials it's pretty easy

just note that mavencentral doesn't allow ovewriting versions

so once u publish, it's final

[surreal sage]

tbh, the more advanced you get in coding, the more configuration related shit you spend time on 😭

[lyric mountain]

but you can always just publish as another version

like 1.0.0, 1.0.0b, 1.0.0c

[radiant kraken]

well advanced is advanced

take it or leave it

[civic scroll]

most of the time the config doesn't even relate to the project

😔

[surreal sage]

e.g. react-native

like what the fuck

using expo now because the setup is way easier

but wtf

[civic scroll]

dw, just write scripts

i wrote one to auto launch the emulator

[surreal sage]

its for my phone

[radiant kraken]

sounds like the same for every other package manager like Cargo and npm

[surreal sage]

first expo app thing, gps tracker

[surreal sage]

Planefly

[radiant kraken]

wha

[lyric mountain]

yeah, permanent versions are a norm in any trustable repository

[surreal sage]

car go
plane fly

[radiant kraken]

okay?

[surreal sage]

bro.

[civic scroll]

but does it have yanking

[lyric mountain]

since, yk, you wouldn't want someone to break your version

[radiant kraken]

anyway

how do i create my maven central account or something

[lyric mountain]

https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/publishing_maven.html

[radiant kraken]

alright

[lyric mountain]

read it slowly, dont rush cuz there are some details that are annoying to find if you miss them

[radiant kraken]

so do i just publish the jar file?

or the entire source

[lyric mountain]

it'll build an artifact during deployment

u dont need to manually send anything

oh also

remember to javadoc everything

[radiant kraken]

oh right

[lyric mountain]

helps building a reputation, since there's a score

[radiant kraken]

there's also tests right with @Test

[lyric mountain]

idk, I never write tests

[radiant kraken]

i see them everywhere

[lyric mountain]

I believe all javadoc features are supported

[radiant kraken]

oh btw @lyric mountain what is pom.xml for? how does it differ from build.gradle?

[lyric mountain]

pom is for maven, build is for gradle

they're the equivalent of pubspec.yaml or package.json

[radiant kraken]

bruh

so which one should i use

i am using gradle to publish something to maven central

[lyric mountain]

build

gradle is built over maven

mavencentral is just the name of the main repo

[green kestrel]

so ive been busy while this place was locked down

[radiant kraken]

same

[green kestrel]

the language i built to represent game locations got some bigger muscles.

[lyric mountain]

there used to be jcenter, but it closed last year

[radiant kraken]

i've spent the entire day on just learning java

😭

[lyric mountain]

u can put ur library in as many repos u want, tho mavencentral is the "de facto" repository

[radiant kraken]

ew why do you use html-style syntax

[green kestrel]

because its a markup, for displaying text content

[radiant kraken]

ah ic

<endif> not having a slash triggers me

[green kestrel]

lol

tough, theres thousands of locations of pre-existing content

i guess i could make a migration that changes them all to </endif>

but <else> will still throw out parsers

[pale vessel]

do if and fi like bash

[green kestrel]

OH GOD NO

[radiant kraken]

^

[green kestrel]

lol

[radiant kraken]

or </if>

[green kestrel]

bash is not a shining example 😄

[lyric mountain]

why not while and elihw while we're at it

[radiant kraken]

case esac

[green kestrel]

foreach and hcaerof

how about at the top of the program we have to put tixe

backwards exit

[radiant kraken]

yes

[lyric mountain]

someone should make a palindrome language

[radiant kraken]

write rotcurtsed for constructors

[lyric mountain]

where the code can be read both ways and still compile the same

[green kestrel]

so in real world, outside of test scripts, this is what the language does

its called paragraph, and its about 18 years old, give or take

[radiant kraken]

so its to format embed messages

[green kestrel]

ive used it in other iterations of the same game, outside of discord

but the premium areas i want to make, would be an absolute ballache to do with paragraph alone, so i integrated duktape for js script tags... they run server side of course

which is safe because nobody but devs would add location content

its the same parser as Sporks, but with the restrictions removed on max memory and runtime

[wheat mesa]

Anyone know how to use bgfx with CMake?

This seems really complex

[green kestrel]

yes, sorta

its to form the entire content of a game location, which is conditional based on state

[wheat mesa]

Just trying to be able to use it in my project, there seems to be an entire subreddit dedicated to just trying to compile this shit for CMake lmao

[green kestrel]

and also to form the links of where the player can go next

[green kestrel]

managed to pass in complex objects 🙂

so the idea of adding this is so that i can add self-contained minigames to locations

i need to add some functions that let js call tags

which should be easy enough

but for now, time for a break 🙂

[surreal sage]

what the

fuck

is

that

[wheat mesa]

Interesting, custom language?

[green kestrel]

yes

[green kestrel]

a custom language for game content in my RPG

I have 86,000 words of text content written in it

[surreal sage]

damnn

[green kestrel]

I'm quite proud of the bot

[lyric mountain]

you included i18n right?

...right?

[green kestrel]

no

there's no need

I have no intention of translating an 86000 word interactive novel

[surreal sage]

does nextjs like support databases and shit in the api routes

[surreal sage]

sigh

i forgot an android permission

[lyric mountain]

come to flutter

fairly similar to react but u dont need to deal with expo bullshit

[surreal sage]

it's jsx?

[lyric mountain]

not exactly

[surreal sage]

[lyric mountain]

but it does use a tree-like structure like react

[surreal sage]

oh changes and differences im going to go crazy with this autism

[lyric mountain]

also it supports multiplatform out of the box

[surreal sage]

sounds like expo

[lyric mountain]

yeah, but vanilla

and it compiles locally, not on a remote server like expo

so no queues

[wheat mesa]

Flutter is awesome

10/10

It hasn’t been the smoothest experience since my frontend knowledge was already shaky but I gotta say that it’s super easy to set up compared to anything else, and it’s pretty damn fast

Hot reloading is a nice plus

[surreal sage]

my first shitty expo app

[wheat mesa]

2 hour wait for something that would’ve taken you 10 minutes in flutter

Sounds like a workflow issue

[lyric mountain]

expo is too much dowtime indeed

idk why they made it like that, offloading compilation to a central server

[surreal sage]

well i guess kinda with the same idea as docker

it always works

environment etc

but gh actions etc is way faster

[eternal osprey]

hey cuties

would anyone know something i could fill this site up with?

it's a bit too empty, what can i do with the sides to make it look a bit better?

[lyric mountain]

add a faded-out stock photo of someone laughing at a computer screen

now being serious, I cant say anything as I dont know what the site is about

[tulip ledge]

Image being from north belgium 💀

[eternal osprey]

we call that the netherlands

as soon as i am done with school i am getting the fuck out of this country.

I need a warm place man

[eternal osprey]

say less! On it

[whole knot]

Is Discord doing alright?

I basically uploaded an image through their handler and it says "Not a valid value"

[lament rock]

the image is either probably > the max size you can upload or something else. Alternatively, more than one attachment isnt supported for app commands which would suck

[whole knot]

I guess it was just a hiccup, pretty annoying though

[green kestrel]

haha, this is insane

so a paragraph script can have embedded js inside a script tag.... and the embedded js inside the script tag can have.... paragraph evaulated in its tag() function 😄

its like inception, just with programming languages

and all this runs inside a bot written in C++

[wheat mesa]

trying to get opengl running with clion/cmake and linux... this is an actual nightmare

cannot for the life of me figure out how to link it, keep getting "undefined reference to ..."

Anyone know how to properly do this? I have built glfw myself and run sudo make install

It's in /usr/local/lib/

And yet for some reason trying to link with -lglfw still cannot apparently find it

jesus finally got it to work

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.26)
project(GameEngine)

set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 20)
set(GLFW_LIBRARIES glfw3 dl m GL GLU X11)

find_package(glfw3 REQUIRED)

add_executable(GameEngine main.cpp
        glad.c)

target_link_libraries(GameEngine ${GLFW_LIBRARIES})
target_include_directories(GameEngine PUBLIC include)
``` much more difficult than it should've been

[radiant kraken]

pog

why does using third party Java libraries feel like linking C/C++ libraries

it's sooo hard

😭

[spark flint]

@dense flame

these are always funny

why they join here out of all places to promote dropshipping will always suprise me

[deft wolf]

A better question is why "dopshipping" is not added as a forbidden word in the automod

[lyric mountain]

hm?

wdym hard?

if you're using gradle all you need to do is add a line in dependencies

if not, just open project settings and add it there

[radiant kraken]

took me an hour just to get a test runner up and running

[lyric mountain]

on gradle?

[radiant kraken]

yeah

with JUnit

[lyric mountain]

lul, are u using intellij?

[radiant kraken]

NO LMAO

i use Notepad++

😭

my computer would die if i were ever to use intellij

[lyric mountain]

...wait ur talking seriously?

doing java without a proper ide is very difficult, that explains it

if you have a remove server, you can do server-side programming

to alleviate the burden on your pc

[radiant kraken]

i'm genuinely being serious

feels like i'm coding in C again with how long it takes to do things correctly 😭

oh btw do you know how to run javadoc on things cuz as u can see in the terminal... well

[lyric mountain]

yeah you're doing it the hardcore way

[lyric mountain]

wdym run javadoc?

[radiant kraken]

is there a way for gradle to document things for me

because if i just use javadoc it doesn't recognise third-party dependencies

and errors

[lyric mountain]

not really, the gradle javadoc command just compiles the docs

[radiant kraken]

ooo

[lyric mountain]

like, it doesn't generate anything

[radiant kraken]

sorry i meant compiling the javadoc comments

[lyric mountain]

you can do a mock deploy to check if you missed any doc

the docs will be compiled automatically when you run gradle deploy

lemme just check which command was it

nvm, I used maven on my libs

yeah it's the javadoc command to compile indeed

on maven it was another name

[radiant kraken]

thanks

[lyric mountain]

https://docs.gradle.org/current/dsl/org.gradle.api.tasks.javadoc.Javadoc.html

apparently you need to set a classpath for your javadocs

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10895032/javadoc-with-gradle-dont-get-the-libraries-while-running-javadoc-task

found it weird because on maven I just run the task and it sets the classpath automatically

quite odd they changed the behaviour for gradle

[radiant kraken]

nah gradle javadoc worked just fine

[lyric mountain]

what were u running?

ah, only javadoc

yeah anything you need to run must be done through gradle, since everything is linked by it

[radiant kraken]

@lyric mountain do you know how to make gradle display the full error message? because there's obviously no way that's possible here in a GitHub workflow

fyi the command i was running is ./gradlew test -i

[lyric mountain]

the error was dumped in the file below

but I think you can also make it show on screen

lemme check

try this https://mkyong.com/gradle/gradle-display-test-results-in-console/

test {
  testLogging {
    events "PASSED", "SKIPPED", "FAILED", "STANDARD_OUT", "STANDARD_ERROR"

[radiant kraken]

fixed it, but thanks

@lyric mountain dunno if this is your expertise but found another problem here related to Java and GitHub actions

i'm trying to run ./gradlew inside a docker container

do i just install Java and Gradle manually from there?

i've already done ```yml
- uses: actions/setup-java@v3
with:
java-version: 21
distribution: oracle
- uses: gradle/actions/setup-gradle@v3

i guess i can add JAVA_HOME as a -v option here somewhere... but how so?

[lyric mountain]

idk much about gh actions

[radiant kraken]

nooo sadge

[lyric mountain]

cant you, instead of running gradlew directly, make it run a bash script?

#!/bin/bash

export JAVA_HOME="path/to/java";

./gradlew test -i;

[radiant kraken]

what difference does it make?

[lyric mountain]

the export

it'll set the env var

[radiant kraken]

nvm i fixed it by adding -v /opt/hostedtoolcache/Java_Oracle_jdk/21:/opt/hostedtoolcache/Java_Oracle_jdk/21 to docker options

[lyric mountain]

ah

[radiant kraken]

@lyric mountain do you know about java.library.path? it doesnt seem to work here

i'm trying to add the bin subdirectory to java.library.path, but doesnt seem to work

i've added this to the gradlew script too ```

Add default JVM options here. You can also use JAVA_OPTS and GRADLE_OPTS to pass JVM options to this script.

DEFAULT_JVM_OPTS='"-Xmx64m" "-Xms64m" "-Djava.library.path=$(pwd)/bin"'

[obtuse owl]

Hi, when designing the long description in your bot's page with html, do you need to make sure that the design is responsive on mobile + PC?

or does the webpage do it automatically?

[lyric mountain]

regarding gradlew, it's best if you configure on build.gradle instead

like this

never had any luck doing it on gradlew

you might need plugin id "application"

also I believe application args (-D) only work there in fact

[radiant kraken]

@lyric mountain this is fine

[lyric mountain]

There's some success in those errors

[radiant kraken]

what the fuck 😭

            ./gradlew build
            mv ./build/libs/java.jar ./decancer.jar
            javac -cp .:decancer.jar Test.java
            java -cp .:decancer.jar Test
``` how

it works perfectly in my machine™️

[lyric mountain]

why are u using javac?

you need to use only gradle for everything, it's what binds everything together

btw @radiant kraken

u can try https://www.jetbrains.com/fleet/ to see if there's an improvement over suffering with np++

ik it's supposed to be a lightweight editor at least

[pale vessel]

might as well use intellij though?

i'm pretty sure all jetbrains IDEs use the same base

which isn't lightweight already

[lyric mountain]

fleet is built differently, it's not a fork of intellij like the others

at least that's what they advertised it to be - lightweight

didnt use it yet as I have no use-case for it

[wheat mesa]

Pretty sure that they gave up on that one. Last time I saw a post about fleet it was using 3gb of ram lol

I think it’s just meant to feel like a lightweight editor, not necessarily actually be a lightweight editor

[surreal sage]

bruh

[sharp geyser]

?

[pale vessel]

this is mine

[sharp geyser]

im so confused what is the point of showing off the app data folder

[pale vessel]

might be because it's taking 137.6gb

that's...quite a lot

[sharp geyser]

I mean depends on what he has downloaded there

Some apps just put their files into the AppData

[lament rock]

Lemme install entire neural networks into AppData

I found Discord assets I wasnt supposed to

[sharp geyser]

So

what is your guys opinion on tiny11

So many youtubers are hyping it up

[lament rock]

use atlas os 11 instead

[sharp geyser]

tf is that

So its like tiny11 but more optimized for gamers?

[lament rock]

Once you clean install windows 10 or 11, you run a program that debloats it and allows you to do some cool stuff like disable windows defender and cpu mitigations for older cpus for spectre and meltdown since those can hit cpu performance A LOT

optional

Also removes a lot of ms spyware

[sharp geyser]

Well I definitely dont want to disable windows defender thats my only antivirus

[lament rock]

downside is that some built in apps are spyware

it removes the media player and photo viewer

good news is is that there's alternatives

[sharp geyser]

I dont think i've once used the media player or photo viewer on my pc

[lament rock]

This is what I found on a build of the iOS app once. My profile

[sharp geyser]

So Atlas doesn't require an entire other install iso?

[lament rock]

Prestige icons for nitro

no

[sharp geyser]

It just debloats the current windows install?

[lament rock]

distributing windows isos is against ms tos

[sharp geyser]

fair

So what if you want to remove atlas later?

I assume they have a tool for that

[lament rock]

idr

heart is highest level prestige

[sharp geyser]

ye idk using something like atlas or tiny 11 seem pointless

[lament rock]

Uhh

My cpu can finally breathe

its kinda a necessity on older hardware

[sharp geyser]

my cpu is already fine as is though

It hardly gets used even under stress

[lament rock]

Then if there is no problem, dont fix it

[sharp geyser]

I have an i7-12700kf its bad at some games but still performs pretty well due to my gpu helping on graphically intensive stuff

I see the appeal on old hardware tho

It looks perfect for something that is much lower spec

[lament rock]

once I installed atlas, I tried to go hard and add rebar support to my motherboard with a modded bios

[sharp geyser]

nice nice

how'd that go?

[lament rock]

asus bios flash util says invalid bios

I need a hardware bios flasher

my mobo doesnt have flashback

[thorn spruce]

Hey guys, any sql expert?

I'm having trouble with two models, so let me explain. My previous version has a Player table with ~200 columns, but I think it's pretty bad to have this amount of columns and I know it's going to grow quickly. So I wanted to switch to a model with two tables, the first named PlayerInventoryKey which contains all the game keys and PlayerInventory which is actually user_id, key, amount. But at this point, I've run into a huge problem: I've learned that mysql stores bigint with 8 bytes, no matter what you put in it. So I don't know what to do, because sometimes I have a huge number that really needs a bigint and sometimes I just need a Tyint for a Boolean.

So my question is which model is better in the end, the one with the right types or the one where I won't have 500 columns in 2 years?

[lament rock]

The generic one is more extensible so is more desirable

Having 500 columns also means having to transfer all of that data every query

unless you select a specific one

[thorn spruce]

Basically i only make one select and then cache manage the profile

[lament rock]

Whats the point of the database then

besides persistence

[thorn spruce]

good question i guess

[lament rock]

Also, the way I would actually do things is have one table which is pkey'd by the user ID and links to an ID for inventory. I'd then have a second table which b trees' off that inventory ID and the table is structured like this
item ID, amount

if order is necessary, can also have a third table which is p keyed by user ID and b trees off of item ID and has another column of slot ID

[thorn spruce]

This was what I was working on, but the problem I was seeing was that even for a simple boolean, I'm obliged to have a bigint because my column amount is a bigint.
and to be honest I haven't found a way to get the right type and not lose storage for nothing.

[lament rock]

What are you storing that needs bigint

the amount of items?

[thorn spruce]

Yep

Or timestamp

I think I should change it to int and it will be 4 byte lost and not 8

So it doesn't change the problem

But I also think there's no real issues

[wheat mesa]

opengl finally starting to make sense

thank god

[eternal osprey]

hey finest cutie patooties:

 registerFont("./mont.ttf", { family: "Montserrat" });
    registerFont("./armad.ttf", { family: "Armad" });```
on linux the fonts look way different

mainly because each os has their own way of handling fonts bla die bla but how can i fix it?

Like how can i ensure the font looks good again because compared to the original font it looks shit

[eternal osprey]

this is canvasjs btw

[sterile lantern]

are there any good templates for using cloudfare workers w javascript (discord one is pretty bare bones)? i tried looking but most of these are outdated

[radiant kraken]

gradlew test refuses to work

[surreal sage]

bro

ollama + codellama>>>

[sterile lantern]

y is this not working

it should exist according to this

[lament rock]

You need to type narrow the union. You can usually do this with shared properties that are unique to each union member or if all else fails, you have to use the

if ("prop" in object) ...

syntax and that will type narrow to any union members it applies to within the block

[sterile lantern]

so basically

if ("attachments" in message.data.resolved) 

or well even if resolved in message.data

[lament rock]

I think it's safe to try on undefined, but I haven't used the syntax enough to know for sure

nvm

> if ("test" in undefined) "lmao"
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot use 'in' operator to search for 'test' in undefined

[sterile lantern]

still get same error

[hidden gorge]

does anyone know how to fix this on react?

Error:

- csvcreator.js:115 Error connecting to MongoDB: TypeError: mongoose__WEBPACK_IMPORTED_MODULE_1___default(...).connect is not a function

React code:

import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
import mongoose from 'mongoose';
import csvtojson from 'csvtojson';
import Settings from '../../../../src/backend/json/database/settings.json';
import '../../css/csvcreator.css';

const CsvEditor = () => {
  const [isConnected, setIsConnected] = useState(false);
  const [tableData, setTableData] = useState([]);

  useEffect(() => {
    checkMongoDBConnection();
  }, []);


  const checkMongoDBConnection = async () => {
    try {
      await mongoose.connect(Settings.MongoDBUri, {
        useNewUrlParser: true,
        useUnifiedTopology: true,
      });
      setIsConnected(true);
    } catch (error) {
      setIsConnected(false);
      console.error('Error connecting to MongoDB:', error);
    }
  };

[lament rock]

You dont need to ?? if "resolved" is definitely in message.data

[sterile lantern]

possibly undefined

oh

maybe its because message is request as any

[lament rock]

No

you already box it as RawInteractionData

attachments is just an optional property

[lament rock]

you can ! if you know it's there

[sterile lantern]

attachments is required for the slash cmd

[lament rock]

Then you can just message.data.resolved.attachments!

[sterile lantern]

so i dont need the if .. in stuff right

[lament rock]

If you know it's there. The Object is possibly undefined error is remedied by !

[lament rock]

but the answer to this is the "prop" in object

[sterile lantern]

?

[lament rock]

omg

[wheat mesa]

Gotta love the ts typechecker not being able to recognize the in check

[lament rock]

It does recognize it

its just the possibly undefined freaking out

[wheat mesa]

Ah I see now

undefined is true evil

[lament rock]

Object is possibly undefined is fixed with the ! at the end of the property access.
This error specifically is fixed with if ("prop" in object)

It cannot get more simpler than that

[sterile lantern]

finally worked

ty

[lament rock]

instead of large if else if else blocks, use switches

[sterile lantern]

yeah gonna do that once i add all the cmds in

just testing stuff rn

[sterile lantern]

if attachments is this, how come [0] is null

the message stuff is just cloudfare, the actual stuff that prints is starting with { "num": {

[lament rock]

well. Log the message

null also could be removed attachments

idk

[surreal sage]

can ts errors please get more readable

[eternal osprey]

given a dns database like this, how can we now what the fqdn of printer is?

[lament rock]

The bottom line is literally the main thing it's complaining about

[surreal sage]

the property did exist

it's just that the value doesn't match up with other properties

[lament rock]

you dont understand the error. The type you were trying to read from was a union of multiple types and one or more union members dont have that property. You can type narrow with if ("component" in object) {…}

[fickle path]

Why do I need this?

[deft wolf]

This is a token for using the top.gg api

Thanks to it, you can send the number of servers and/or the number of shards that will be displayed on your bot's page

[surreal sage]

sigh

[sharp geyser]

your first mistake was only getting 500gb

[surreal sage]

i got 2 additional drives

2tb hdd + 1tb nvme ssd

[sharp geyser]

ok

[surreal sage]

and unfortunately, wsl doesn't run on those

[sharp geyser]

[surreal sage]

windows subsystem for linux

[sharp geyser]

I mean so long as you have your boot loader on one of them you can run wsl on any drive

[surreal sage]

and this one is the boot drive

so

[sharp geyser]

Also im sure you can find a way around it

[spark pebble]

I guess ill just send a screenshot as Discord seems to be entirely unawaree of what a link is....

[solemn latch]

Bots base perms come from the everyone role, just like a user.
its possible the other issue was a bug, I'm not sure.

I know permissions can be a bit weird in cases.

[spark pebble]

Yeah, so the bot had a role with perms to External Emojis, but it still couldn't use External Emojis.

I asked here when that happened, and someone said "giving roles to an Application is useless, it only takes permissions from the everyone role and nothing else.

[tulip ledge]

How do you detect a raid using a bot? Is it just on mass join/bans/channel deletes/etc?

[lyric mountain]

there's nothing u can do against mass ban/channel delete

and mass join will be blocked by discord

[sterile lantern]

say i have three arrays:

let userRoles = ['Admin', 'Security Moderator']
let roles2 = ['Admin', 'Moderator']
let roles3 = ['Security Moderator', 'Security Admin']

how would i check if any role of userRoles is in either array, and then return that role name? i know some() exists (js) but i want it to return the role name that matches

[spark flint]

you coud use .find

userRoles.find(role => roles2.includes(role) || roles3.includes(role))``` for example

[sterile lantern]

oh yeah

thanks

[spark flint]

no worries

[silver jackal]

i need help with vps to host my discord bot

[spark flint]

you need to install node.js

i would recommend using nvm

[spark flint]

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.7/install.sh | bash

export NVM_DIR="$([ -z "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME-}" ] && printf %s "${HOME}/.nvm" || printf %s "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/nvm")"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm

nvm install 20.9.0
nvm use 20.9.0```

[solemn latch]

nodejs comes with npm

[spark flint]

[silver jackal]

are you sure this is ubuntu 22

[spark flint]

yes

[silver jackal]

done

how do i check version

[spark flint]

node -v

it should say 20.9.0

[silver jackal]

done

npm is 10.1.0

@spark flint what now

[spark flint]

well its installed now

node and npm are intalled

[spark flint]

so do whatever you were trying to do before

[silver jackal]

i dont even know what im doing

[solemn latch]

👀 people zip before uploading?
Have I been doing it wrong this whole time?

[coral phoenix]

crazy tech

[silver jackal]

do i need to zip?

[solemn latch]

I'd follow the guide you're using.

[silver jackal]

ok

i probably did something wrong

like 10 minutes ago

when installing stuff

but ok

[solemn latch]

👀 this is an ubuntu vps right?

It looks like you put a windows path instead of a linux style path.

[sterile lantern]

im trying to send a webhook with an action row, i provided type 1 but i get this error

this is what components is btw

[pale vessel]

but that's an action row inside an action row

there's no need for that array in the first image, just provide components

JSON.stringify({ content: message, components })

[sterile lantern]

ohh i see

nope it worked

[warm surge]

Sureee @clear plinth what’s my wallet address again

@fervent shale also

Why there’s random email on your pfp

@solemn latch thank you for giving my wallet address

[sterile lantern]

how exactly do i send an attachment alongside the webhook

i changed the content type to multipart/form-data

[spark flint]

use formdata

as in the js thing

const formData = new FormData();
    formData.append("content", `Message Content`);
    formData.append("file-anythinghere", new Blob([`message i want to send`], { type: "text/plain" }), "filename.js");```

this works for me

[sterile lantern]

what if its an object from discord

like its a file that is uplaoded from a slash cmd

and i just wanna have that img send to a webhook

[spark flint]

the interaction should contain the file url which you could embed

but tbh im not sure how long empheral-response objects stay on the CDN for

[sterile lantern]

and i pass this in the payload right

[spark flint]

yep

[sterile lantern]

what if i dont wanna send any msg

just img

[spark flint]

fetch("webhook", {
      method: "POST",
      body: formData
});```

you can remove the content part

[sterile lantern]

i could append components to the formData right

[spark flint]

yeah

[sterile lantern]

for file-anythinghere shouldnt it be attachments

[spark flint]

file-<anything> works for me atm

i upload 3 different files at once so assigning them a unique id after file- worked for me

[sterile lantern]

i get Cannot send empty message

[spark flint]

hm

[sterile lantern]

img is a url

i tried passing an attachment obj too

[spark flint]

hm

honestly not sure

webhooks can be funky

[sterile lantern]

weird cuz it should at least send the msg

[pale vessel]

u need to give attachments filenames

formData.append("files[0]", blob, "image.png"); for example

[pale vessel]

u want to send a text file that contains the URL?

if u want to send an actual image, fetch the image and grab the response as a blob

or if u already have an image buffer, use new Blob([buffer])

[lament rock]

or consider the following library:

https://github.com/DasWolke/SnowTransfer/blob/master/src/methods/Webhooks.ts#L190

If not. That's cool. I have code here people can use: https://github.com/DasWolke/SnowTransfer/blob/master/src/Constants.ts#L17

[pale vessel]

now das woke af

[lament rock]

real shit

[earnest phoenix]

const express = require("express");
const app = express();

app.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log("Atlas Network Started");
});

app.get("/", (req, res) => {
  res.send("Hello World");
});

const Discord= require("discord.js");
const client = new Discord.Client({intents: ["GUILDS", "GUILD_MESSAGES"]})

client.on("messageCreate", (message) => {
  if (message && message.content === "ping" && message.channel) {
    message.channel.send("pong");
  }
});

client.login(process.env.token);

why doesnt' this work

[warm surge]

What djs version are you on?

[earnest phoenix]

i use replit, how do i see this?
i just chose the latest one

discord.js@14.14.1

[warm surge]

const client = new Discord.Client({
intents:[
Discord.GatewayIntentBits.Guilds,
Discord.GatewayIntentBits.GuildEmojisAndStickers,
Discord.GatewayIntentBits.GuildIntegrations,
Discord.GatewayIntentBits.DirectMessages,
Discord.GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages,
],
})

[earnest phoenix]

wow they changed alot

the last time i made a bot was in 2021

[warm surge]

if you need any help check this https://discordjs.guide/#before-you-begin

[lyric mountain]

They basically renamed everything for shits and giggles

And added cache on everything

[earnest phoenix]

client.on("messageCreate", (message) => {
  if (message && message.content === "ping" && message.channel) {
    message.channel.send("pong");
  }
});

not even this works now lol

[earnest phoenix]

why

would they do that

[lyric mountain]

Because djs devs

[earnest phoenix]

back in the good old days of discord bot development this was simple

[lyric mountain]

It still kinda is, if you adapt to the new workflow

[earnest phoenix]

client.on("messageCreate", (message) => {
  if (message && message.content === "ping" && message.channel) {
    message.channel.send("pong");
  }
});

why doesn't this work though?

[lyric mountain]

That said, I don't code in js anyway, so can't say from experience

[lyric mountain]

Is your bot verified?

By discord, I mean

[earnest phoenix]

nope

[lyric mountain]

Did you enable message intent in dev panel?

And include it at client intents

Also if you're returning from 2021, I believe they renamed messageCreate event

[earnest phoenix]

Yes

[earnest phoenix]

oh hell nah

what is it now?

[pale vessel]

nah i think it was message -> messageCreate so you're good

[lyric mountain]

Ah

From the docs, they also have Events.someEvent constant, might be a good idea to use it instead of strings

[earnest phoenix]

client.on("messageCreate", (message) => {
  if (message.content === "ping") {
    message.reply("pong");
  }
  if (message.content === "!connect") {
    let embed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
      .setTitle("Connect to our server")
      .setDescription(
        "To connect to our server make sure you're on the latest version of Minecraft and that you're using the Java edition of Minecraft.\n IP: `atlassmp.online`"
      )
      .setFooter("Atlas Network");
    message.channel.send({ embeds: [embed] });
  }
});

what is wrong with my code?

did they change embeds too

[deft wolf]

It depends on what version you are using

[earnest phoenix]

discord.js@14.14.1

[deft wolf]

In the latest? Yes, from now on it's called embed builder

[solemn latch]

Discordjs has really really good version upgrade guides. I'd reccomend using that if you can

https://discordjs.guide/additional-info/changes-in-v14.html#breaking-changes

[earnest phoenix]

Tysm, the last time I made a bot was in 2021

🤣

client.on("interactionCreate", (interaction) => {
  if (!interaction.isChatInputCommand()) return;

  if (interaction.commandName === "!connect") {
    const embed = new EmbedBuilder()
      .setTitle("Connect to Atlas SMP")
      .setDescription(
        "To connect to our server make sure you're on the latest version of Minecraft and that you're using the Java edition of Minecraft.\nIP: `atlassmp.online`",
      )
      .setFooter("Atlas Network");
  }

  interaction.reply({ embeds: [embed] });
});

I read the discord.js guide, followed it and got this

it doesn't work

any ideas?

[pale vessel]

what doesn't work?

[earnest phoenix]

The embed is meant to reply and it doesn't

[pale vessel]

no errors?

[earnest phoenix]

Yeah, no errors I checked

The bot goes online and everything

[warm surge]

this dont use messages

[pale vessel]

i'm surprised it didn't error

[earnest phoenix]

Maybe it's a replit thing

[vivid fulcrum]

because the promise isn't being awaited

[pale vessel]

no clue how it'd access embed lmao

it's inside the if statement

[warm surge]

this for slash commands

[vivid fulcrum]

also i'm pretty sure that's not the syntax for replying to interactions

[warm surge]

like this

[earnest phoenix]

yh

[pale vessel]

i don't think ! is a valid character for a slash command though

[pale vessel]

and if u look here, it's still wrong since you're declaring embed inside the if statement but replying outside it

[earnest phoenix]

I removed the !

[pale vessel]

did u register the command?

[earnest phoenix]

Wdym

[pale vessel]

might want to have a read here https://discordjs.guide/creating-your-bot/slash-commands.html

use new SlashCommandBuilder() to create a slash command and register them like this

https://discordjs.guide/creating-your-bot/command-deployment.html#global-commands

[earnest phoenix]

What is a global command?

[deft wolf]

The commands that are available in dms and on all servers are the same

[earnest phoenix]

Why would I need that

Is it for the embed

[deft wolf]

You can also create "per server" commands

[earnest phoenix]

or is it extra

[deft wolf]

This is how discord works now. Hardly anyone uses text commands

So yea, you need that

[earnest phoenix]

text commands are far superior

[deft wolf]

Not if you want discord to verify your bot

You must have a very good reason to be able to read user messages

[earnest phoenix]

I've done everything in the documentation and my embed still doesn't work, at this point are there any youtube tutorials on this

this is so much harder than it used to be

[deft wolf]

There are probably some, but I haven't seen any for a long time because it's much easier to write using documentation and stackoverflow

[earnest phoenix]

I follow everything in the documentation I've double checked it

and it doesnt work

const { REST, Routes } = require("discord.js")

const botID = "1206221292580372510"
const serverID = "1190694042409914398"
const botToken = process.env.token

const rest = new REST().setToken(botToken)
const slashRegister = async () =>{
  try{
    await rest.put(Routes.applicationGuildCommands(botID, serverID){
      body: [
        {
          name: "ping",
          description: "just a simple command"
        }
      ]
    })
  } catch (error){
      console.error(error)
  }
}

slashRegister()

youtube told me to do this, and to no surprise it doesnt work

what did I do wrong

[earnest phoenix]

bruh somebody help please.

[solemn latch]

What doesnt work? in what way?

[earnest phoenix]

Ok so basically

I've registered my slash commands, and they work the only thing that needs fixing is the reply

client.on("interactionCreate", async (interaction) => {
  if (interaction.isChatInputCommand() && interaction.commandName === "ping") {
    const embed = new MessageEmbed()
      .setTitle("Connect to Atlas SMP")
      .setDescription(
        "To connect to our server make sure you're on the latest version of Minecraft and that you're using the Java edition of Minecraft.\nIP: `atlassmp.online`"
      )
      .setFooter("Atlas Network");

    interaction.reply({ embeds: [embed] });
  }
});

this is the only thing which doesn't work

the slash commands are registered, but when you use it the bot crashes

and throws an error message

[solemn latch]

What discordjs version are you using?

[solemn latch]

MessageEmbed is the old version right?

Its now EmbedBuilder iirc

[deft wolf]

Yea, it was a thing in v12 and v13

[solemn latch]

yeah so the youtube guide you're following isnt for the discordjs version you're using. @earnest phoenix

[sharp geyser]

Also the builder is terrible anyway it should be removed

Just use objects

[solemn latch]

Its easier for most newer devs

as much as I agree

[sharp geyser]

It’d be easier if they never did it to begin with cause it’s just more overhead

[deft wolf]

Same for command builders I guess

[earnest phoenix]

Is there documentation on this? I haven't done anything like this in years

[sharp geyser]

Itd be a lot simpler if they just stuck to using raw json data over builders

[sharp geyser]

That’s one thing I disagreed with
