if anyone here uses postgres ive got a question
right now the way i have my database laid out is i've got a single structure that starts/handles the database so that my models can use it
this is what one of my models looks like
const Sequelize = require('sequelize');
const Database = require('./../../structures/PostgreSQL.js');
const SettingsModel = Database.db.define('settings', {
guildID: Sequelize.STRING,
//blah blah more stuff after this and then i'd export this file
and i access this model by requiring it in a command/structure, however i've seen people use import (like this https://please.zbot.me/QCyEYgiQ.png ) and i was wondering if it would make any difference to switch over from requiring a bunch of models to just importing them all?
restive silo
it doesn't actually its just another way of doing it what looks a bit cleaner afraik
fluid basin
@earnest phoenix You must put the emoji itself
And then save the file as unicode, if it is not in unicode
uncut slate
message.content.includes or message.content.indexOf, whichever you like
what's swears defined as
what's in the file, what kind of structure is it
then you're not doing it right

#IfYouComplainAboutSupportingFeaturesThenBlameJavaForNotBeAbleToOverLoadStuff
inner jewel
but you can?
restive silo
Since when can you overload operators?
inner jewel
you can overload methods
it's still overloading
technically the java bytecode allows overloading with return types
int a(int b)
long a(int b)
restive silo
But not operators for some reason
inner jewel
are different methods
because they learned from the abuse that became c++
<< for writing to streams
for reasing
restive silo
Hey you could only take the good parts like C#
inner jewel
reading*
when used correctly it's a nice feature
but people often misuse it
and shit becomes hell
for eg, math related stuff operator overloading is useful
restive silo
Same you dont need .addTo() .subtractFrom() etc.
inner jewel
because a + b is more readable than a.add(b)
restive silo
yea
inner jewel
but when you have << writing instead of bit shifting
it makes sense why someone might not include it

@earnest phoenix May you be of any assisstence?
The problem is that the bot isn't here
so i can't show you o.O

Screenshots?
idle grail
I guess
quiet bobcat
Also isn't client.fetchUser only for user accounts 🤔
ruby dust
even if it would be here, how would you show us? just a lot of bots will respond like always lol
idle grail
Or you could join the testing server

Mine...
Lets just say its UNIQUE...
I am pretty sure no other bot runs like mine lol
quiet bobcat
wym?
if you're using discord.js then you can't
because
or maybe you can
idk
¯_(ツ)_/¯

I could show you in my server but i cannot invite ;-;
No

not profile
fetchUser can only be used in bot accounts
quiet bobcat
what are you trying to get?

To get the user tag and the avatarURL(RIGHT NOW.. Will need it for more stuff later)

Hi
earnest phoenix
i would like some info-advice-help on something
I want to request something from sites and get the output
https://lingojam.com/PirateSpeak
what should i begin to see to make it
ruby dust
I don't trust that domain
uncut slate
@earnest phoenix if they don't have an API, your best bet is GET'ing the output and then parsing it with something like cheerio
earnest phoenix
i asked in other channel too and they gave me this link
but how do i install
what is this $ npm install --save pirate-speak
solemn obsidian
Is your bot in nodejs
quiet bobcat
Anyone know any good twitch libs for js?
frail kestrel
oh sorry
@earnest phoenix, npm i[nstall] --save pirate-speak installs the pirate-speak module from npm.
solemn obsidian
his bot is in python
earnest phoenix
i have another question
nvm
i will search a bit more
I want to make it so
guys gives a specific name
then the bot search all the users
and mention him
but it could give like "Dredd"
not full name
frail kestrel
@solemn obsidian he trying to install node packages w/ py?
solemn obsidian
somebody told him to get npm package, but whoever told him to never knew his bot was in python
so now he thinks he wants the module from npm
frail kestrel
frail kestrel
ig you could use that module to write an english -> pirate converter in node and utilise it in your py bot
solemn obsidian
easier to just rewrite the 20 lines of actual code in python
frail kestrel
ye
earnest phoenix
hmm
i took the dictionary
and made it work
but it took me so long 😄
can you help me with the other question?
there is a get info something
keen wedge
just a quick question, how long does it usually take to get the discord bot approved?
quiet bobcat
Depends on the queue length
inner jewel
from a few hours to a few days
old glade
and for a certification ?
ruby dust
I submitted on the other site first before this one, still waiting for the approval there, apparently bot's uptime is very important to them

any idea of the time needed to confirm or not a bot certification application ?
quiet bobcat
Depends. Oly does certifications
old glade
oh ok

what does certification even do?

Usually a week or so
old glade
I thought mods can also give a certification
quiet bobcat
Nope :/
earnest phoenix
I want to make it so

uncut slate
which lib are you using
earnest phoenix
wut :D?
earnest phoenix
python
ruby dust
doesn't discord.utils.find do the trick?
it's in the api docs
I forgot what is discord.utils.get for, it may be either one
earnest phoenix
member = find(lambda m: m.name == name , channel.server.members)
and then ctx.member.mention ?
ruby dust
I'm assuming this is for async version?
earnest phoenix
@bot.command(pass_context=True)
async def command(ctx, name:str = ctx.message.author.mention):
member = find(lambda m: m.name == name , channel.server.members)
await bot.say(ctx.member.mention+ random.choice(list))
list is defined
will that work?
ruby dust
I would test that, but I'm on rewrite version
earnest phoenix
it says ctx is not defined

@ruby dust

yeah... I'm not on async, so idk how that is possibe
quiet bobcat
Does anybody know how to overwrite permissions on all channels in a guild? I've tried doing it like this js message.channel.overwritePermissions({ overwrites: [ { id: created.id, denied: ['SEND_MESSAGES'] }, ] }) but it says that it cannot read id of undefined (created) created is just an empty let that I filled with this js created = await message.guild.createRole({ data: { name: "Muted", } });
That's discord.js btw

anyone know how to limit eval() to just math
earnest phoenix
How do I make it play a specifc mp3 file in my channel?
where is the info in API
quiet bobcat
What lib?
earnest phoenix
python
old glade
Guys
quiet bobcat
?
old glade
Isn't Python supposed to be faster as a language because it can handle multithreading
compared to JS
quiet bobcat
¯_(ツ)_/¯
old glade
lmao
restive silo
Assembler does it
old glade
because of it's very precise memory usage
yeah
ofc assembler
but binary can also be faster you know what I mean
I was speaking in terms of "moderns' and widely used languages
ruby dust
I'm actually planning on moving to C# or something, I'm tired of python as a language
idk why
is it worth it?
weak parrot
I would say it is
ruby dust
python is like for beginners lol
old glade
python is more of a scientist language
ruby dust
I've been playing with C# a lot before even knowing how to code
inner jewel
@old glade python isn't that faster because it has GIL (global interpreter lock)
old glade
what is this ?
inner jewel
so you can only have a single thread running python code at once
ruby dust
+1 reason to ditch python lol
inner jewel
node has a single thread too
inner jewel
also for recursive algorithms a lang with tail recusion might be better
and python/node do have multiple threads
but only one running code
others may be doing I/O
ruby dust
there's never a need for the best of the best language, just enough for everyone to be happy 😄
inner jewel
so it's still a benefit
old glade
I see what you mean
ruby dust
the problem is that I have no motivation to start over to learning the basic of a programming language
inner jewel
^
restive silo
try other langs out and you will see when you feel confident while writing in one
ruby dust
well I also don't like the fact that python is case sensetive EVERYWHERE
restive silo
thats how i got from C++ to C# actuall
isn't any lang case sensetive 
or what do you mean
restive silo
yes?
ruby dust
with python it's case sensetive, a user must type just the way it was defined
restive silo
wait thats not a python thing
ruby dust
it's how it works for me
restive silo
thats from your lib
old glade
if str.lower() or str.upper')
restive silo
or framework
old glade
just if/elif/else
ruby dust
well I'm not doing that nonsense for sure lol
restive silo
okay im not sure which lib/framework you use (i guess d.py with build in framework?) but thats not a language thing its because of your library/framework
normally it should lowercase all input and compare to lowercase commands so its case insensetive

my bot keeps on going offline about every 30 minutes, but nothing shows in the console and there is no error? 
I think it started happening after I added the Discord Bot List API into it, but I don't know
inner jewel
my first bot tripled mem usage after getting added to botlists
the other guild eats 10MB alone
probably more by now
trim plinth
Oof
earnest phoenix
So how can I still connect it the Discord Bot List API without it causing outages?
Any suggestions?

I set it to post the guild count to dbl every 30 minutes, that's all I did with it.

instead of if(message.content.indexOf("tester") >= 0), use if(message.content.includes("tester") @fresh shuttle

@jagged birch Now the message on the second row is underlined.

does your code look like this?
if(message.content.includes("tester") {
message.delete();
message.author.send("Please do not say that!")
}```cause it should work..?

No, the I got rid of the top { by accident.

oh, well that's why it's not working.

Lol, yeah.
Welp if(message.content.includes("tester") **{** message.delete(); message.author.send("Please do not say that!") } The bolded curly brackets are underlined and everything in between them are whited out.

How do I add this to a search for an item with this
https://us.tamrieltradecentre.com/pc/Trade/SearchResult?ItemID=&ItemNamePattern=
do I use the selector or the xpath?
Any help would be most awesome if someone has exp with this plz pm me!

... holy fak
tiny turtle
those are the values im just not sure how to put it together
im guessing after the lack of responses this would be uber hard? lol
inner jewel
google "web page scrapping <YOUR LANG>"
elder rapids
so web page scrapping js
glossy sand
i hope you're using an xml parser for this
elder rapids
discord.js is a library
inner jewel
discord.js isn't a lang
languid dragon
what
inner jewel
@glossy sand parse it with regex
glossy sand
glossy sand
way ahead of you
tiny turtle
thanks
inner jewel
@glossy sand best comment was "Is it possible to use RegEx to parse this answer?"
tiny turtle
im not seeing anything usefull yet
to search and bring up the values anyways
as the items continually change
glossy sand
what you really should do is parse the page with an xml parser then traverse the tree the parser builds to get to whatever tag you're looking for
inner jewel
tl;dr find an xml parser and learn how to use it + basic xml knowledge
tiny turtle
so an xml parser and learn how to use it, check and check. Example would be cool though if you have the knowledge.
that's all I was aiming for. just a basic example of a search that can bring up a changing value.
glossy sand
what exactly do you mean by "changing value"
languid dragon
what exactly are you doing lmao (im lost)
tiny turtle
the items wont remain the same, they change as people buy or sell them ingame
if it was a set webpage i would ask for adive
glossy sand
ok well here's the issue
inner jewel
did you check if they have an actual api first?
glossy sand
I assume you mean the page updates in real-time?
glossy sand
well that won't do for your application
inner jewel
front end changes will break your code fyi
languid dragon
regex parsing html is a nightmare is a waste of time, if you can work a way around it, do it
glossy sand
the real-time page updates are likely done with client-side js
inner jewel
so you should keep an eye on those
glossy sand
and probably some websocket work
inner jewel
^
glossy sand
which is all performed in a browser but won't mean anything to your single http request
inner jewel
if the data is dinamically added it won't work either
scrapping just parses static results
glossy sand
HOWEVER:
inner jewel
sent in the text the server gives you
tiny turtle
I figured the xml fields would stay the same right?
glossy sand
what you could do is reverse-engineer the webpage and figure out the websocket protocol they're using
inner jewel
they won't get updated
glossy sand
then simulate a client and connect to that websocket server
tiny turtle
https://us.tamrieltradecentre.com/pc/Trade/SearchResult?ItemID=&ItemNamePattern=(type anthing here) Sword or shield what ever
those boxes shouldnt change
glossy sand
this page doesn't look like it updates in real-time
do you mean it updates every time you make a new request?
tiny turtle
I dont think I am explaining this right lol
tiny turtle
thats an example of of a changing value
you can test it in my bot and see that the scores change
glossy sand
so by "changing value" you mean the data you receive might change each time you make a request
tiny turtle
im just trying to figure out how to do this ^ with a search
glossy sand
it doesn't change in real-time or anything
glossy sand
so basically you're asking how to keep the data on your bot up-to-date with whatever data the server is serving
tiny turtle
Maybe I dont know how to explain it. Im not sure how to lol
ill try discord api
thanks for trying though
inland goblet
just a wild guess but to probably restart his bot
south finch
i wonder 
fresh shuttle
How do you measure the servers your bot's are one, I thought it was bot.servers.
trim plinth
js?
fresh shuttle
Yeah
fresh shuttle
Thanks, sorry I do not know my library... ;-;

high tinsel
Does anyone here know what does "rate limit abuse" mean... My bot was declined because of that and since English is not my first language idk what does it mean.
trim plinth
ratelimiting is going over the set amount of requests per day, hour, minutes, etc
ratelimit abuse is spamming an API causing ratelimiting quickly
or other forms of abuse
for a ratelimit
@high tinsel so in your bot's case it is that you spammed the Discord API too much, causing ratelimit abuse
high tinsel
Oh, I realize it now... If someone spammed that command than it would be a problem... Plus it posts messages too quickly. Thank you. I will fix it today and than resubmit that bot.
solemn yoke
owo am i missing something or ..
trim plinth
semicolon at the end of .get(commandName)
can't do that when you are doing your boi ||
trim plinth
np
solemn yoke
._. did i not address the commands file properly or something cause my commands aint working weirdly.
restive olive
nani
solemn yoke
🙇 sorry im quite new to programming so i may have made dumb mistakes.
restive olive
what are you trying to do?
solemn yoke
um for now is i have a command files where i can just insert new commands
restive olive
uhuh
solemn yoke
and in my main file which is the photo it seems like its not going there
i think
🤔
solemn yoke
not at all
restive olive
the paths are not connecting
solemn yoke
yep
restive olive
so ya saying that its not reading the commands directory?
solemn yoke
i think so, i dont see any other reason it wont respond to my ping command
name: 'ping',
description: 'Ping!',
execute(message, args) {
message.channel.send('Pong.');
},
}; ```well this stretch are the ones that fetches the commands
below it are just cooldowns for spams.
solemn yoke
using const {prefix, token } = require('./config.jason) which will fetch the prefix and then if (!message.content.startsWith(prefix) || message.author.bot) return; will execute it
onwards
restive olive
that will execute your command?
solemn yoke
yeah
restive olive
how
all your doing on that line is checking if the message begins with the prefix or not
and if the author is a bot
and if one of those cases are true you will return
restive olive
nani?
solemn yoke
😅 haha sorry. im bad at coding, still working on it

high tinsel
If you need multiple variables listed below each other, how do you do that?
Like
var 1
var 2
var 3
In Javascript
high tinsel
Or just some discord thing that does that...
frail kestrel
what
brazen dock
i've even reinstalled node and everything but as soon as my script starts it stops
without an error
and it exits with error code 1```@high tinsel ```js
let var0 = 0;
let var1 = 1;
let var2 = 2;
that's my npm error file
anyone?
high tinsel
So if I want them listed the command would be something like: message.channel.send(let var0 + let var1 + let var3);
brazen dock
@high tinsel give me an example of how you want the output to look like
frail kestrel
oh
to send the value of each variable
you just go
let var0 = 0;
let var1 = 1;
let var2 = 2;
message.channel.send(`${var0}`); // => sends 0 to the channel the command message was sent in
message.channel.send(`${var0}, ${var1}, ${var2}`); // => sends all 3 of your variables to the channel the command message was sent in
No, I need those variables listed only one at a line...
high tinsel
I can't, it's for a fight command and the stats need to be listed below each other...
And if I list them in separate messages the bot will get denied for posting messages too quickly.
topaz fjord
@high tinsel the use setTimeout
high tinsel
But it needs to be listed at the same time

topaz fjord
That makes no sense

@restive silo no u

The amount of messages that it sends is too high so thy declined my bot because of that...

If they need to be bellow each other, cant you use \n?

Yeah
