[carmine berry]

send the code ill try on me bot

[earnest phoenix]

'test': (msg) => {
msg.channel.send({embed: {
color: 3447003,
description: "A very simple Embed!"
}});

[carmine berry]

that code works on my bot

[quiet bobcat]

same

[earnest phoenix]

how do you get eval?

[quiet bobcat]

also in the guide

That guide almost has everything

I know your error btw

[earnest phoenix]

i cant open chrome and discord at the same time

[quiet bobcat]

Don't think you can be doing 'test': (msg) => { }

[earnest phoenix]

one of them crashes

[quiet bobcat]

which is why you get the syntax error

[earnest phoenix]

well '': (msg) => { works on all of my bots

[quiet bobcat]

You sure you did the command handler correctly?

[carmine berry]

doesnt it say what line that unexcpected token is on

[quiet bobcat]

^

[earnest phoenix]

im just not gonna

can someone fix my music

it wont connect to the vc and it says there was a error gettings the song everytime

[south finch]

do you ever like

read the rules in the server?

[earnest phoenix]

no

[south finch]

stop asking to be spoonfed 👀

well you should

[earnest phoenix]

lol

[feral nova]

Hey, how do I make an Mute/Unmute Command?
(I start with if(command === ${prefix}command) {

[heady zinc]

read the docs

google some stuff if ur unsure

and profit

[feral nova]

i googled but didnt find a good thing

[haughty onyx]

i feel like a total noob and i feel very discouraged of being here.. and I should know how to code.. I didnt know who to turn to..

[quiet bobcat]

Sorry but we have to follow the rules... 7. a. Don’t spoon-feed or attack beginners.

[haughty onyx]

wow.

[quiet bobcat]

What do you need help with either way? What lib and what lang?

[earnest phoenix]

-eval message.channel.send({embed: {
color: 3447003,
description: "A very simple Embed!"
}});

@real ibex

[quiet bobcat]

#commands

[earnest phoenix]

oh

[haughty onyx]

well i need a bot for my group that stores info. Like someones arrival date and their role.

[quiet bobcat]

Have you started coding anything yet?

[haughty onyx]

No I have not.

I wanted to see if there was a bot already made and i could just modify it

[quiet bobcat]

Hm

I can look and try to find some

[haughty onyx]

like i know theres bots that can store info. I was on a Animal crossing discord.. it was very organized :x

[quiet bobcat]

wdym?

[haughty onyx]

like on the bot you can put your Friendcode, the town name, the town fruit

[quiet bobcat]

Friendcode?

and what town?

[south finch]

Animal crossing is a game Jonas 🤦🏽‍♀️

[quiet bobcat]

welp, I'm dumb

Oh... I get it

[haughty onyx]

Thanks @south finch 😃

[south finch]

[quiet bobcat]

I can't find any bot with those functionalities :/

[haughty onyx]

hmm 🤔

so if i were to make a bot, how complicated will it be?😳

[quiet bobcat]

That completely depends on what language you pick, if you know that language, if there's an api for what you want to do.

[haughty onyx]

yeah 😞

[bright bone]

Can someone give me an example of UpdateMessages in js?

[trim plinth]

I heard Animal Crossing

anyways what lib are you using @bright bone

[bright bone]

Discord.js

[trim plinth]

k

[bright bone]

I do not understand something what you say xD

[topaz fjord]

@haughty onyx as complicated as you want it to be lol

[haughty onyx]

LOL

[weary niche]

Does any one have good resources for just starting out on making a discord bot; the language I am learning to use right now is java. Thanks!

[trim plinth]

what library do you plan on learning

[weary niche]

I don't know, any suggestions?

[trim plinth]

you can try JDA, it

is popular

[weary niche]

ok thank you.

[trim plinth]

(sorry for weird parting, pressed enter too soon )

yw

[haughty onyx]

So i found the bot that i need but how do i get the coding???

[trim plinth]

1. If you are planning to submit this bot, don't take other bot code, 2. If you are looking for the same thing that you got from the animal crossing bot, you most likely need a database 3. You don't get the coding. If it's not open source, it's not.

(you may not need a database but storing info like that usually requires it)

[hushed oyster]

@haughty onyx I would recommend that you learn a language, then make a bot from scratch

[abstract mango]

i agree ^

I went head-in with python, making a bot first

it was pretty bumpy

[still cave]

Python was the first launguage I can say i learned fully, it did it by going to http://www.learnpythonthehardway.org

It's pretty good because ti doesn't assume you know anything and guides you through. I really like that it even encoursages typing out everything instead of just copy/pasting because it helps you make your own connections and you actually learn faster.

The "Free Sample" for learn Python 2 the hard way is actually the entire book just without pdfs or videos, and you can read it as it's just webpages with the information lined up with excersizes.

[abstract mango]

dapi was my friend early on

:p

[dim cipher]

You have to want to make a bot. Personally, I really wanted to make a music bot, so I dived head first into docs, and googled everything I needed to know and use it this day
Granted, my bots were like spaghetti, but I succeeded.

[still cave]

Once you start looking at everything as a problem and find generalized ways to solve them, your bot will be and look sexy

[jagged birch]

need a little help with something. I just added shards and I am trying to add my server count in my bots status.. this code is in my ready event:

client.shard.broadcastEval('this.guilds.size').then(results => {
  client.user.setActivity(`lmao help | ${results.reduce((prev, val) => prev + val, 0)} servers`);
})```
It just shows the guilds in 1 shard instead of the total, but I use the same code to update my discordbots.org server count, and that works.. am I doing something wrong?

[still cave]

I was curious what reduce does

[jagged birch]

I got it from here: https://discordjs.guide/#/sharding/

[tame rivet]

anyone know how to suppress this

protocol: <asyncio.sslproto.SSLProtocol object at 0x7f3181a294a8>

    n = self._sock.send(data)
OSError: [Errno 9] Bad file descriptor

[still cave]

@tame rivet seems to be that Pyyhon 3.4.3 and python 3.5.0 both have that issue.

asyncio is supposed to be telling you the connection was lost so that you dont get that error

@tame rivet websockets right?

try calling

yield from asyncio.sleep(0)

after the send call

or

    return```

before the send call

[tame rivet]

im awaiting it 🤔

    async def update_stats(self):
        """This function runs every 30 minutes to automatically update your server count"""

        while True:
            logger.info('attempting to post server count')
            try:
                # replace shard_id with your current shard for the bot
                await self.dblpy.post_server_count()
                logger.info('posted server count ({})'.format(len(self.bot.guilds)))
            except Exception as e:
                logger.exception(
                    'Failed to post server count\n{}: {}'.format(type(e).__name__, e))
            await asyncio.sleep(1800)

i run this as a client loop

but every time i close it gives the error

[still cave]

You can probably put

if websocket.writer.transport._conn_lost:
    return

in post_server_count

just before the send call

[tame rivet]

good idea

[still cave]

Let me know if it works 😮

[tame rivet]

no it doesnt

[still cave]

fk

[tame rivet]

AttributeError: module 'websocket' has no attribute 'writer'

the error happens when loop is shut

idk why

as in ctrl c

[still cave]

hmmmm can I see yourt post_server_count mayber? or would you rather pm?

[tame rivet]

without the updated docstrings, but its here https://github.com/DiscordBotList/DBL-Python-Library/blob/master/dbl/http.py#L105

[still cave]

oh do you use Select?

[tame rivet]

no?

[still cave]

I am experiementing a bit now

I was making assumptions but now I can see haha, bare with me

it might take some time

[lethal sun]

This doesen't seem to work...
Code:

        db.get(`SELECT * FROM all WHERE ID = '${message.guild.id}'`, function(err, row) {

            if (!row) {
                db.run(`INSERT INTO all(ID) VALUES(?)`, [message.guild.id], function(err) {
                    console.log(`A row has been inserted with rowid ${this.lastID}`)
                    message.channel.send('lul')
                });
            }

            message.channel.send(row.laungage)
        });```

Console Output:
```TypeError: Cannot read property 'laungage' of undefined```

halp

[tame rivet]

@still cave seems like an asyncio bug?

[still cave]

Yeah, i was thinking you were working directly with it but you arent

[tame rivet]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[leaden bane]

Anyone knows how to directly manage and update PostgresSQL databases in Access? Currently the contents displayed are read-only.

[tame rivet]

i'll try and suppress it

[still cave]

Yeah, basically when asyncio loses a connection, its never telling you, so next message is sending because it thinks its still connected, and fails because it isnt

[tame rivet]

not failing tho

its cause the loop is closing on keyboardinterrupt

but ye

same thing

[still cave]

Hmmmm

Ah there is a way to force it to clear the remaining asynchronous operations.... there just has to be 😦

[tame rivet]

wait_until_complete() ?

[austere meadow]

@lethal sun you may be doing if (!row) and creating a new entry on that, but row's value hasn't changed
you need to reassign a new value to row because it's still undefined from when you first did db.get

[still cave]

But yeah when you keyboard exit, the operation is still running asynchronously and the socket closed before the operation either started or completed.
It might work I have never actually intercept exiting that way before though

But at the time the asynchronous operation was started the connection was open and it just assumes it will be once it starts operating.... one sec

[stray citrus]

Hello, can someone help me with my JDA bot?

[inner jewel]

just ask the question, don't ask to ask

[stray citrus]

Okay

My Problem is this Error

[inner jewel]

what's your code?

[stray citrus]

JDA

[inner jewel]

your code

not the lib

[stray citrus]

oh Sorry

[inner jewel]

you're probably missing a superclass declaration/have a wrong method signature

[inner jewel]

Received vs Recived

wrong method name

[stray citrus]

This is the code from the Tutorial

[inner jewel]

onMessageReceived

yours is onMessageRecived

[stray citrus]

ohhhhhhh

[lapis crystal]

XD spelling is annoying, it always gets me

woah

[solemn obsidian]

In Eris, is there any other way to get user other than through getRESTUser/looping through all guilds + their members?

[heady zinc]

iterate through the Client.users collection

[solemn obsidian]

ok im blind

[heady zinc]

its the same as for guild members tho, some users won't be cached and therefore won't be in the collection

[solemn obsidian]

Then I guess I'll have touse getRESTUser?

[heady zinc]

yeah as far as i know, if the user is not cached and don't share a server with your bot, you're gonna need to enable REST requests and use getRESTUser

[stray citrus]

Hello I have a Another Question. How Can I set the Game of the bot?

[heady zinc]

if they do share a server tho, you would just need to fetch all the members

[solemn obsidian]

Alright, thanks

[vernal yoke]

guys, i got a quick question. How do i prevent message reactions to dissapear using discord.js ? I am using reaction.remove() to cancel the reaction but if i click once more on the reaction it dissapears completely

download discord module

is missing

no module named discord

probably use import discord.py?

instead of import discord

[tame rivet]

@sweet portal import discord should import discord.py

what is that discord package you have installed?

ye

uninstall discord

pip3 uninstall discord

how did you install discord.py?

nonono

yes

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py#installing

read this

[still cave]

omg why in the hell is phpstorms ftp so slooooooow

[topaz fjord]

Don't use phone

Php

Fixed

[vernal yoke]

well happy to help @sweet portal and the other ones who actually said the same thing but you did not understand

[tame rivet]

@vernal yoke import discord.py doesnt work

[shy rose]

is it possible in any way to render an emoji inside these as using discord type emoji shows it as string from but sedning it as raw emoji shows it as its unrendered form

[earnest phoenix]

Can someone help me activate my bot?

[quiet bobcat]

What lib?

[earnest phoenix]

?

[quiet bobcat]

library

[earnest phoenix]

Other

[quiet bobcat]

[pale light]

[quiet bobcat]

That's not very helpful

[pale light]

thats good

[earnest phoenix]

Jon

[quiet bobcat]

What language

[pale light]

@earnest phoenix what language are you using

coding language

[quiet bobcat]

👀

[earnest phoenix]

what?

[pale light]

hm

let me reset

are you coding a bot rn

[quiet bobcat]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programming_language 👀

that

[earnest phoenix]

Not yet...

[quiet bobcat]

which one

[pale light]

so you're asking how to start coding basically

[earnest phoenix]

;-;

yes

[pale light]

have you decided on a coding language?

[trim plinth]

good beginner languages are python and js

[quasi marsh]

^

[earnest phoenix]

Python

[whole totem]

what's the best way to host a javascript bot

[quiet bobcat]

a vps imo

[idle torrent]

what do i dooo

[quiet bobcat]

npm run build.js?

idk how npm run works

[whole totem]

@idle torrent do you have node.js

[quiet bobcat]

well he has discord.js so I'd assume so

[uncut slate]

that's not the issue

why are you trying to use npm run build

[quiet bobcat]

^

[uncut slate]

what do you think it'll do

[whole totem]

he can do

node run {name of bot}.js

or not node run

just node

so

[uncut slate]

no

just node

[whole totem]

node {name of bot}.js

[uncut slate]

and not name of bot either lol

just whatever his main file is called

[whole totem]

thats what i meant

[idle torrent]

yes i have node.js

[whole totem]

but

[idle torrent]

what do i do

[whole totem]

okay so go to the where you keep your bot

[idle torrent]

what do you mean

[quiet bobcat]

Again, not the issue

[whole totem]

what''s the issue then

[idle torrent]

Cmon please guys. Im getting pretty stressed

[quiet bobcat]

We just told you

Scroll up

[idle torrent]

instructions told me to

Download or clone this repo's files.
cd into the Referobot directory.
Run npm install to install dependencies.
Run npm run build to build.
Add your bot token to your_auth.json.
Rename your_auth.json to auth.json.
Run node lib/referobot.js.

ehhhhhhhh

[quiet bobcat]

node build

[idle torrent]

what

[quiet bobcat]

I litterally gave you the answer

[idle torrent]

Im not trying to figure out a riddle here guys

its not a game

[quiet bobcat]

But there's no riddle...

[idle torrent]

i dont do npm build then?

[quiet bobcat]

No

[idle torrent]

then what do i do

[quiet bobcat]

Do what I told you instead

[whole totem]

he said do node build correct?

[idle torrent]

youre tearing me apart man

This is aweful

[whole totem]

programming will tear you apart

[quiet bobcat]

^

[idle torrent]

Guys what do i do

tell one last time up front

[whole totem]

try node build I believe he's saying

[uncut slate]

no 🤦

[idle torrent]

lol finally someone who knows what theyre doing

[quiet bobcat]

🤔

[idle torrent]

@uncut slate

what do i do

[quiet bobcat]

[uncut slate]

@idle torrent node file.js

[quiet bobcat]

In this case file = build

[uncut slate]

how do you know that

[idle torrent]

error cannot find module

[whole totem]

I don't think he's trying to run his project

[quiet bobcat]

He told me before

[uncut slate]

@idle torrent run npm i

when @quiet bobcat

don't see it here

[quiet bobcat]

Scroll up a bit

[uncut slate]

where, I don't see it 🤔

[quiet bobcat]

11:38

[idle torrent]

then what

[uncut slate]

then retry running the file

[idle torrent]

error cannot find module

[whole totem]

do you have all the modules you need to run the bot

[idle torrent]

Download or clone this repo's files.
cd into the Referobot directory.
Run npm install to install dependencies.
Run npm run build to build.
Add your bot token to your_auth.json.
Rename your_auth.json to auth.json.
Run node lib/referobot.js.

these are what im trying to do!!!!!!

what are modules

i have downloaded all the files, yes

https://github.com/brendacs/Referobot

@uncut slate

[uncut slate]

sure

follow the guide

[earnest phoenix]

where do I put the programming for the bots

[idle torrent]

I dont know howww

I foollow it and get errors

[quiet bobcat]

what errors?

[earnest phoenix]

?

[idle torrent]

I just posted pics twice

[earnest phoenix]

i'm trying to figure out I put coding.

[quiet bobcat]

well those werent really helpful

[idle torrent]

What do i do for step 1?

[quiet bobcat]

@earnest phoenix you make a file. Call it something like app.py

or botnamehere.py

[idle torrent]

okay then what

[quiet bobcat]

Have you followed those steps?

@idle torrent

[idle torrent]

Yes i get errors. What do i do for step 2 for these instrustionc

cd into the Referobot directory.

what does this mean

[earnest phoenix]

can someone tell me if these would work?

[quiet bobcat]

dms

You can't do py.txt @earnest phoenix

[earnest phoenix]

fuck.

[quiet bobcat]

go to save as and then click other and remove .txt and add .py instead

[idle torrent]

dms?

[quiet bobcat]

direct messages

[earnest phoenix]

I didn't add the .txt part.

[whole totem]

then delete it

it's the normal thing when you create a txt file

@earnest phoenix I would delete the message with the file too because they may find your token

by the way I downloaded it and you didnt put your token in anyways

[quiet bobcat]

Also that's .js

not .py

[whole totem]

yup

[still cave]

If my bot has a eeb portal, does the soruce code to the web portal have to be open sourced also? Does the bitnhave to be open sourced at all?

[uncut slate]

you don't need to make anything open sourced

[still cave]

Yay

[idle torrent]

what error is this

how do i correct this

[glossy sand]

presumably there's no file called "build.js"

[uncut slate]

I still can't find anything about you saying your index file is build.js

[idle torrent]

i never said that

[uncut slate]

@quiet bobcat ???

[idle torrent]

can i dm you

[topaz fjord]

@idle torrent you didnt have too lmao

[uncut slate]

@idle torrent not really

[topaz fjord]

thats what your error says lol

[quiet bobcat]

Well went on it's github, and it doesn't even have a js file

[topaz fjord]

either he you dont have the files or its in the wrong directory

[quiet bobcat]

or hm

[idle torrent]

Nobody knows!

[topaz fjord]

then why are u asking lol

[idle torrent]

Bro

How does nobody know. My life has bugs that cant be fixed

Story of my life

[topaz fjord]

ok

i would help if you showed code

[idle torrent]

https://github.com/brendacs/Referobot

exactly what im doing

[topaz fjord]

are u trying to submit a clone

[uncut slate]

calls PEBCAK

[idle torrent]

Im trying to make a freaking bot

[pine relic]

no need to curse

[topaz fjord]

how is that making aa bot

you basically just cloning

[idle torrent]

OKay yeah

cloning

downling the code

step by tep what do i do

[pine relic]

pay somebody to make a bot for you

[topaz fjord]

idk

@pine relic no

[pine relic]

?

[topaz fjord]

code it yourself kek

[idle torrent]

guyssssss i thought you would be able to atleast help a little

[topaz fjord]

also idk i dont clone @idle torrent

[pine relic]

@idle torrent are you even familiar with javascript

[idle torrent]

i dont know the library but yes

[pine relic]

maybe you should learn discord.js first by making your own bot, this website has plenty of examples.
https://discord.js.org/#/

[topaz fjord]

javascript isnt a library

javascript is a language

[pine relic]

i think he was talking about the library that the repo was using

[idle torrent]

I neec an invite somebody

need

[pine relic]

lol

ok bye now

[idle torrent]

What

Why has no one released an invite bot on bot.discord

Theres so many out there

[topaz fjord]

because bots cant invite bots

[idle torrent]

what

no i need a bot that keeps track of how many invites people have

[hushed oyster]

someone made that

i think

[topaz fjord]

o shit its kaniel

a cert kaniel

[idle torrent]

Which one

[topaz fjord]

since when

[hushed oyster]

today

and

@idle torrent

let me find it

[idle torrent]

Thank you Agust! Life saver!

August

[hushed oyster]

lmao

you're welcome

[trim plinth]

[hushed oyster]

i guess

[topaz fjord]

thats not august thats kaniel

[patent reef]

Anyone know how to send a DM to a user ID in Eris?

[idle torrent]

Sorry I havent been here long i dont know their names

Does it have top 10 inviters @hushed oyster

[hushed oyster]

I believe it has a leaderboard of inviters

[idle torrent]

Perfect!

Find anything?

[hushed oyster]

not yet

still searching

btw let's move to #general @idle torrent

[uncut slate]

@patent reef client.getDMChannel(id) gets you the channel to send it to

[patent reef]

thx

const direct = bot.getDMChannel(persons id);

bot.createMessage(direct, "my msg here");```

???

[uncut slate]

await

[heady zinc]

right eris's dms integration is so painful

[patent reef]

omg tell me about it

ive been at this since this morning

[heady zinc]

but yeah basically

User.getDMChannel().then(channel => {
   channel.createMessage("baguette tbh");
});```

or await it

and follow whatever code style you like

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[patent reef]

isnt await only for python?

[heady zinc]

await has been implemented in node.js since node 8.x.x

[patent reef]

lol this is my first day using JS

[heady zinc]

idk how it works in python

but in js you need to be in a async function to use await

[hushed oyster]

same with py

[heady zinc]

then it shouldn't be much of an issue to understand it

[patent reef]

where does the ID go?

[heady zinc]

the ID?

[patent reef]

the ID of the person i want to DM

[hushed oyster]

probably right here:

[heady zinc]

you don't need it if you have the user

[hushed oyster]

const direct = bot.getDMChannel({id});

[heady zinc]

wait ok i think you're a bit lost cuz the docs are misleading

there is multiple ways to do that

[patent reef]

Heres what I had

[heady zinc]

basically cuz abal is a scrub, you can use pretty much all methods from the client class because he implemented them all in

[patent reef]

const devdm = bot.getDMChannel("162780049869635584");

bot.createMessage(devdm, "Hi");```

i put my ID in just for testing

[heady zinc]

sooo

[patent reef]

never worked

[heady zinc]

if you want to use it from the client class

it would be like that outside an async function: ```js
bot.getDMChannel("162780049869635584")
.then(channel => {
channel.createMessage("Hi");
});

or bot.createMessage(channel.id, "Hi"); but that's longer isn't it

smh im probably confusing you with all that shit

i'll just shut up

[patent reef]

XD

ill test it out

Thanks a lot

anyone know how to fix this problem with npm

whenever trying to install modules from github it just hangs and does nothing

[austere meadow]

how long did you wait for?

usually takes some time for me, about 140s to install d.js

its pretty bad

[topaz fjord]

like 10 minutes

[austere meadow]

damn

did you try bombing your node_modules?

is pretty buggy

[topaz fjord]

i might just switch to yarn

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[austere meadow]

yeah i use yarn wherever possible

[topaz fjord]

@austere meadow yarn is fucking amazing

[austere meadow]

yeah it is

a lot better than npm

[topaz fjord]

fuck npm

[austere meadow]

although i have issues installing github stuff from yarn myself

so thats weird

[topaz fjord]

it installing that git module in like 2 mins

[shy rose]

Is there an API limit for getMembers or is it just global (or does the global even apply? )

[earnest phoenix]

would you guys have any idea on how to play a local file using lavalinik?

[ornate shadow]

I just changed my Raspberry Pi's IP to be static and now my bot is down. Any idea why/how to fix this?

pm2 says "errored"

the logs inform me that the bot loaded all of its commands, connected to the MySQL database but then suddently no more logs are to be seen

it was supposed to say "Posted to dbl." then continue to run

nevermind. I just deleted the pm2 entry of my bot and added it back

[languid dragon]

anyone know mongoose schema's?

if yes, is it
whitelist: [Array]
or
whitelist: Array

[ornate shadow]

it works now. strange

[maiden rampart]

hAI

[bitter sundial]

@languid dragon Array

but you can do like [OtherSchema] to make an array of objects with that schema

or

[String] for an array of strings and shit

[Array] would be an Array of Arrays

[languid dragon]

oooooo, thank u

[String] is what i'm after then

[bitter sundial]

with just Array you could put anything in them but yes

[bitter pagoda]

Does anyone know a good anti-spam bot?

[frail kestrel]

wrong channel

[frigid juniper]

@bitter pagoda just set a cooldown

[quiet bobcat]

For what?

Messages?

[worldly cliff]

How do u even make a bot?

[languid dragon]

http://lizardsuc.cf/google

[worldly cliff]

What

[quiet bobcat]

Google it

[worldly cliff]

Ok

Thanks

[worldly cliff]

Which website do I go to?

[hushed oyster]

just search "how to make a bot"

[quiet bobcat]

google.com

[hushed oyster]

and choose something random

[worldly cliff]

ok

[quiet bobcat]

Is there a way to use the guildBanAdd event for user and async events?

Using d.js

[shy rose]

@worldly cliff there's a bit builder I made have a look at https://cheweybot.gq you can use it without the need to know code as well

[patent reef]

Anyone know how to send a message to a specific channel ID in eris?

bot.createMessage("channel id", "content");```

that didnt work ^

[uncut slate]

then you're doing something wrong, that's the proper way to do it

[patent reef]

hm

TypeError: bot.createMessage is not a function```

[tame rivet]

when you think you've added ratelimit implementation but then you just haven't cause it doesnt save over restart

[worldly cliff]

Hi

[inner jewel]

a lib shouldn't really save data

unless specifically configured to do so

or at least give the user a way to configure how to save data

[worldly cliff]

@shy rose thanks

[tame rivet]

@inner jewel what i meant was cache the ratelimit quota remaining over restart

[inner jewel]

again, don't do that automatically

[tame rivet]

e.g. bot makes 60 requests in 10 seconds

bot then restarts

[inner jewel]

let the users decide

if the lib should save that

[tame rivet]

bot has no quota left but doesnt realise so hits 429 and is blocked for an hour

[worldly cliff]

Hi guys

how do u code a bot

i know my name is thecoder but i don’t know everything

[trim plinth]

do you know how to code

[worldly cliff]

Some

[trim plinth]

what coding language

[worldly cliff]

Swift, Python, and HTML

[uncut slate]

@patent reef you're doing something seriously fucked up then 🤷 https://abal.moe/Eris/docs/Client#function-createMessage

[worldly cliff]

Why do people cuss

[trim plinth]

ok for python you can try the discord.py library

[worldly cliff]

Ok

How

I am kinda new here

[patent reef]

hmmm

idk tbh ill keep testing shit

[quiet bobcat]

Is there a way to use the guildBanAdd event with user and async message? Using discord.js

[worldly cliff]

@trim plinth thanks for everything though

[trim plinth]

[topaz fjord]

@worldly cliff because why not

[vernal girder]

What do you code in? Like, what enviornment?

[craggy token]

glitch.com

[limpid basalt]

That's where you code?

[craggy token]

yes

[limpid basalt]

Does it tell you the errors and what it requires to fix them?

[craggy token]

it only tell me that ^

[limpid basalt]

oof

Have you heard of Visual Studio Code?

[trim plinth]

@limpid basalt Probably has, but glitch.com can run your bot 24/7 and allows you to code in it

[craggy token]

I don't have a VPS so I can't use it

[limpid basalt]

Oh okay

I use VSCode

And then pm2 to run my bots 24/7

But pm2 is being stupid

SO I'm using nodemon for a temporary online status for the bot

[craggy token]

wait, does pm2 run if the pc is off?

[trim plinth]

no

[limpid basalt]

no sadly

[craggy token]

oh, so I can't use it^

oh nvm, I fixed

[limpid basalt]

It won't run if the terminal is closed either

That's why I always keep my PC charged and awake while the lid is closed

[craggy token]

oh ok

[limpid basalt]

oh crap

I closed the terminal

oh there we go

[shy rose]

So question like i know this wouldn't be official or any guarantee but would anyone be able to take a look @bitter comet and see if its worth going for certification cause last time i did it was really new and only out for a week but since then huge changes been done

[earnest phoenix]

I'll look at it for you @shy rose

[earnest phoenix]

how do I pipe sudo find / | grep gitlab to rm -rf

I just dual booted and whenever I leave my PC alone booted on windows it switches to ubuntu

Idk why

Any help

[real bear]

Question.

Since i'm new to this bot thing.

[trim plinth]

what could your question possibly be

[glossy sand]

no need to be snarky

[real bear]

How do you log into your bot?

[trim plinth]

you don't

you login your bot, you do not log into your bot

[real bear]

Gg.

Just tell me how.

[topaz fjord]

You code you bot

[trim plinth]

logging into your bot is API abuse

[topaz fjord]

Then it becomes online

But you don't login as your bot

[real bear]

Oh.

[topaz fjord]

Unless you want to get banned

[trim plinth]

:^)

[glossy sand]

ok so like the way your bot works is

you run a fancy program on a computer somewhere

and that program interacts with discord like a sort of "fake user" that does stuff automatically based on the state of discord

you have to write that program, of course

[trim plinth]

^ this is an analogy, do not take it literally

@real bear if you are asking how to login your bot (NOT login as your bot), you run your code then your bot should become online

[real bear]

Ah.

Thank you.

[trim plinth]

yw

[shy rose]

@earnest phoenix Thanks for feedback really helps (and taking the time to do so) 👍

[earnest phoenix]

Np

[bright karma]

how would I get how many guilds are in each shard? Like what is the easiest way of doing this? btw I have Internal Sharding enabled for my bot, discord.js.

[prime cliff]

Some libraries have a shard manager variable that you can use to get guild count or you can loop through each shard and add the guild total

[bright karma]

i have a shard manager but I can only get the shard that the message was sent from

[muted oxide]

So i think, in discord.py editing, mentioning can be done as @test#1234 right?

[low rivet]

what editing?

[muted oxide]

IDLE.

[low rivet]

what... :/

don't use idle anyway

use an actual program

[muted oxide]

lets take Visual Studio Code

[low rivet]

*visual

[muted oxide]

if i remember correctly, a mention in discord.py can be done with @apollo11#1969
right?

[low rivet]

no

<@ID>

[muted oxide]

not that, a command mention for the bot.

like in cleverbot

[low rivet]

huh what command mention

[muted oxide]

they use @wicked brook [message]

[low rivet]

<@ID>...?

[muted oxide]

got it

[abstract mango]

@muted oxide so you want to have a mention as a prefix? or am I wrong

oh ic what you're getting at

you could use a on_message event

[muted oxide]

yes

[gritty ice]

are there need for permissions to send embeds, or that comes under "Send Messages"?

bot was working fine, and stopped working in this one perticular server out of a sudden

[heady zinc]

@gritty ice

if disabled, users will see a blank message

or well no, server-side it will just not allow you to send it iirc

[gritty ice]

but until now it was working fine with "Send Message" permission

[heady zinc]

yeah but if you want to send embeds

you need the embed links permission

[gritty ice]

even in this server it just has send message persmission, but it's working fine, let me show you in #265156322012561408

I am getting these in the logs

discord.errors.Forbidden: FORBIDDEN (status code: 403): Missing Permissions

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: Forbidden: FORBIDDEN (status code: 403): Missing Permissions

What to make of it?

[heady zinc]

now yeah well, you need to check if your bot has all the needed permissions, and is not restriced channel-wide or smth

[gritty ice]

okay, I checked, my bot has permissions to send text, but not embeds in that server

it was able to send normal text messages

this gives me an idea, I should write try catch, and in case bot doesn't have permission to send embeds, it should say so, how's that idea?

[gritty ice]

[FIXED] you were right, it was a channel wide issue

[heady zinc]

permissions issues

[earnest phoenix]

Hello, I am asking for some help. So I just got a execute command, but ping google.com isn't working, for example I did the ls command and it worked. here is the code. (I have defined ownerid)

var exec = ["execute"]
if(exec.every(key => {return msg.content.includes(key)})) {
if(msg.author.id === ownerid) {
const { exec } = require('child_process');
exec(args.slice(1).join(" "), (error, stdout, stderr) => {
  if (error) {
    msg.channel.send(
      new Discord.RichEmbed()
      .setTitle("Execute Error")
      .setColor('RANDOM')
      .setDescription(`Error: \`\`\`${error}\`\`\``)
      )
    return;
  }
      msg.channel.send(
  
    new Discord.RichEmbed()
                        .setTitle("Execute")
                        .setColor('RANDOM')
                        .setDescription(`**Input**:\n${args.slice(1).join(" ")}\n\n**Output**:\n\`\`\`${stdout}\`\`\`\n${stderr}`)
        )
});
} else {
  msg.channel.send("I'm afraid I cannot do so, I do not have permissions to create an invite.") 
}
}```

[low owl]

@gritty ice don't do try catch

Check for potential issues beforehand

[gritty ice]

hmm 🤔 how do you suggest to do that?

[earnest phoenix]

So nothing on my problem

okedokie

[gritty ice]

lol

[earnest phoenix]

Mention me if you have a fix, thanks

[low owl]

@gritty ice either by implying your bot gets permissions on some way (automatic roles or such alike) or by literally looking up what Perms you have. Try catch does work of course but I find it makes your code more difficult to read and the intention of the try catch is not really clear without digging into it. It also means that you expect an exception that you could avoid altogether. Which is always better.

[earnest phoenix]

brian help me out too pls

[gritty ice]

makes sense, and your profile pic 👀 @low owl

@gritty ice ikr

[quiet bobcat]

How can I see if a member is kicked with discord.js?

[austere meadow]

you can just see if the member exists in the guild
message.guild.members.has('id)

oh wait do you mean the actual event

[quiet bobcat]

yeah

[austere meadow]

tbh ive been wanting to know that myself

[quiet bobcat]

:/

[austere meadow]

one sec

[quiet bobcat]

kk

[formal bramble]

hello

[austere meadow]

https://please.zbot.me/4EyP5DXJ.png
aha

guildMemberRemove

actually

no

hmmm

that checks if they've left and/or been kicked

[deep parrot]

guildMemberRemove is a guild event

[austere meadow]

yeah thats fine

[trim plinth]

I don't think there is an exact event for discord.js that emits when a member is kicked. I guess your only option is guildMemberRemove

[austere meadow]

but jonas just wants to see if someone is kicked

surely there must be some way

else how would @gilded plank work

[trim plinth]

dunno

true

[austere meadow]

maybe luca uses raw?

[trim plinth]

[formal bramble]

I don't think so...

[gusty topaz]

Check on guildMemberremove

Then consult audit logs

I may write an extension to do it

(for d.js)

[austere meadow]

https://please.zbot.me/WZD7LrJ5.png
true

[deep parrot]

^

[quiet bobcat]

ah

[austere meadow]

dont think theres another way to do it otherwise

[quiet bobcat]

wait, how do I check audit log?

[gusty topaz]

Oof

[trim plinth]

o0o0f

[gusty topaz]

Use them docs

[quiet bobcat]

Never had to do it before

[deep parrot]

:readDocs:

[austere meadow]

guild#fetchAuditLogs()

[gusty topaz]

RTFM

[trim plinth]

^

[quiet bobcat]

kk

thanks

[formal bramble]

❤

[heady zinc]

indeed, you have to check the audit logs, discord doesn't emit any specific event for kicks

and audit logs aren't even accurate tbh so its just shitty

[quiet bobcat]

I have another question... I need to have async (to be able to use await), user and the guild properties in that event

is that possible?

[heady zinc]

i mean

how wouldn't it?

[quiet bobcat]

idk

But I can't figure it out

[heady zinc]

to use async you just put the async keyword before the function

[restive silo]

mark the event function as async and then use await in it

[heady zinc]

^

[quiet bobcat]

I can try

But how do I do the other two?

Because guild is still not defined.

[heady zinc]

which event tho

[quiet bobcat]

guildMemberRemove

[heady zinc]

wat

[quiet bobcat]

or can you even have guild in there

hm

[heady zinc]

psure guildMemberRemove gives you the guild as well

[austere meadow]

it does

member and guild

[quiet bobcat]

🤔

I can't use guild

says that it's not defined

[heady zinc]

you know how to use a function jonasjac?

i mean it may be something to learn

[quiet bobcat]

oh

I'm an idiot

[restive silo]

@austere meadow it doesn't it gives you only a member since that has a .guild property

[austere meadow]

oh does it

checks stuff

[restive silo]

i know ma shit

mostly atleast

[heady zinc]

oh ye yuki is right

[austere meadow]

you're right

[heady zinc]

d.js is shit*

[austere meadow]

what

[restive silo]

more like js*

[heady zinc]

true*

[quiet bobcat]

Thanks

[frail kestrel]

py better

[trim plinth]

A way to define args without it making ascii look like this with commas and to keep it spaced out? I've tried multiple ways of defining args and none of them have fixed this issue

[tropic ridge]

What are the differences between JS, Java and Python libraries? Besides the language, obviously

[austere meadow]

the syntax can differ with other libraries as well as the API coverage

not all libs cover all ends of the API

like some don't have voice implementation

[tropic ridge]

Ah, which one would you recommend me to cover most of the stuff?

[austere meadow]

well it depends really, do you know javascript, and are you a beginner?

if so, i'd recommend discord.js

if you are more experienced with javascript, i'd say go with Eris

those are the only two libs i have experience with

there are plenty more though

[tropic ridge]

Ah, thanks, I'll look into discord.js then

[austere meadow]

[worldly cliff]

?

[restive silo]

well it always depends on the language as example js is really bad with music so if you want make a "full" music bot js would be a bad choice

[worldly cliff]

I figured out already

[restive silo]

👏

[austere meadow]

also true what yukine said, it really depends on your skill level and what exactly you want to make

[worldly cliff]

Do u have a name in Chinese @restive silo

[austere meadow]

but most people use discord.js

@worldly cliff can you hop out of #development please

[restive silo]

thats Japanese and ^

[worldly cliff]

^

[austere meadow]

i use discord.js myself and i like it

[tropic ridge]

I pretty much wanna do a bot with a basic levelling system and fights inbetween members

[worldly cliff]

I use discord.py

[restive silo]

then js with d.js is a pretty good choice

python with d.py is also fine for that

there are also plenty frameworks for d.js what mostly take a lot of work from you to make like reaction menu's or a command loader, command classes and database integration

so if you aren't wanna do that yourself i would recommend using a framework

[tropic ridge]

Aight! Thanks, gonna start working on it right now
