Java
earnest phoenix
channels send like <#channelid>
low owl
Mh, haven't done regex in a while actually
earnest phoenix
so u can just remove the <# and the >
no
[#development](/guild/264445053596991498/channel/272764566411149314/)
send dat in chat
low owl
<#[.+>
or something like that
Aw, it removed the \'s
Well, the . is "any character"
and .+ any character n times but at least 1
earnest phoenix
cant u do .substring()? in java
earnest phoenix
¯_(ツ)_/¯
low owl
What you also could do is (.Net equivalent)
string[] words = string.Split(' ', message) and then find the ones starting with <# and ending with > and try to Parse them to an existing channel in your guild.
earnest phoenix
cant u find channels with ids?
low owl
Yes

same xD i just havent touch java for 2 years

I mean almost the same thing, except you also Parse by name

Which could 90% of the time be resolved by actually researching. That's one of the greatest skills of a good dev and yet.. ah
I will just stop ranting and go shopping. 😐
When I was 14 or so and started developing I learned everything by researching
never asked someone else except I really was stuck for a while

How do I make my bot play a youtube video
terse badger
Depends on the library..
storm thistle
I came on this
Because that's how I play gifs
but video is then picture
So I tried video
terse badger
Do you want it to send the audio into a voice channel or
storm thistle
That's what I meant

Just post the link?

steel tinsel
My question is: why is my bot not getting popularity?
low owl
Well, what can your bot do? Why should I have it?
earnest phoenix
my bot is in 23 servers, I think yours is probably in more 😛
steel tinsel
It's in 12
steel tinsel
No
solemn obsidian
its called patience
low owl
What is intense moderation?
steel tinsel
It's meant to do moderation and stop
earnest phoenix
oh
low owl
Okay, that is pretty cool. Unfortunately there are very popular bots that do this already.
You need to do something unique, something that makes you different, while being at least on the same standard they are.
earnest phoenix
yee boi
steel tinsel
That's what I'm trying
terse badger
Find issues with other bots and dont have them in yours
earnest phoenix
well most people wants more than only moderation in a bot..
low owl
And this can take time. But not only that, you also need to have some skill in bringing your product to the end user. Make it descriptive, catchy, make them want to try it.
Then it will spread 😛
terse badger
Use other bots and see what they lack in their features
steel tinsel

Often people just look at something like that and already say "well.. probably not that good"
steel tinsel
I can't make anything good with my software/skills
earnest phoenix
saem
low owl
My next question would be, in your pictures is a non english footer, why is that?
steel tinsel
Because it's a translation of my private bot
earnest phoenix
oof
low owl
Well, make it english.
low owl
Seems so
"settings system is a bit rough, but the bot should run smoothly" that's not very good advertising
Kinda scares people away that would otherwise try it
steel tinsel
But I can't even lie
low owl
@steel tinsel You are not lying if you don't mention it. Next thing please god don't have a unique prefix for each command.
steel tinsel
?
low owl
"MoonlightBot has an unique prefix for most tasks."
steel tinsel
It only has one prefix
low owl
Kinda sounds like multiple prefixes
terse badger
Yea im with Brian
low owl
Well, to round it up I would describe more what makes your bot special. Right now you only say.. well it has moderation features. But most bots have these.
steel tinsel
I'll reorganize the description when I get my pc

storm vessel
so I'm trying to make a bot for a server I'm in and I can't find many tutorials for stuff
I have the bot ready
and I can do simple commands
but can someone explain how to do stuff like role or user specific commands
I'm using the java Maven JDA
inner jewel
you'll want Member#getRoles() and User#getIdLong()
storm vessel
so once I have someone's role how do I use it in something like an if() statement to make it so that only someone with that role/name can use the command?
inner jewel
if(member.getRoles().stream().anyMatch(r->r.getName().equals("the role name you want"))) {
}
storm vessel
thanks
earnest phoenix
in discord.js what is used to see which role mentioned role is for the bot? 
torpid frost
best way to test send message permission on jda?
lavish mango
@earnest phoenix what
inner jewel
@torpid frost Member#hasPermission(Channel, Permission...)
torpid frost
thx
lavish mango
you could do Mod
earnest phoenix
like mentioning
lavish mango
mentioning the role would change it to an id
earnest phoenix
mm
lavish mango
let roletogive = message.guild.roles.find('name', roleName)
if (!roletogive) return message.channel.send("Role may not exist make sure you spell it exact")
message.guild.member(user.id).addRole(roletogive);```is what i do for giverole
earnest phoenix
well I fixed so it works to type the id only or the name of the role, but on a server they have emojis and stuff and its needed to @ sometimes and they mostly use @
lavish mango
hmm
storm thistle
Oh
high tinsel
Is there someone who uses glitch.com to host their bots?
lavish mango
ive set up a bot for someone on glitch before
Can check out: https://anidiots.guide/other-guides/hosting-on-glitchcom.html which is helpful for knowing how to host on glitch
high tinsel
I wanted to use the url of my bot (https://1-pupbot.glitch.me) as his website, like a lot of people do but it does not work...
i put this into the main .js file:
var express = require('express');
var app = express();
app.use(express.static('public'));
app.get("/", function (request, response) {
console.log(Date.now() + " Ping Received");
response.sendFile(__dirname + '/views/index.html');
});
and I tested that website on another server where it works...
lavish mango
try editing your package.json
add a new start
like "start": "node bot.js", "start": "node website.js"
inner jewel
that's not how json works
high tinsel
plus i have both the bot and this code in server.js
high tinsel
What code is in your node website.js?
lavish mango
Hmm
inner jewel
having repeated keys is undefined behaviour
some parsers might consider it an error, some (like JSON.parse) will use the last value, etc
gilded blaze
SQL !== JSON
high tinsel
No matter what I do... I already got that code I posted here from the officiall glitch forum it just does not work...
high tinsel
Every time the same two errors... either 504 Gateway Time-out or the generric check your code message...
high tinsel
Because it is free and I am a poor student...
and I want the website hosted on the same place where the bot is...
low owl
@nimble merlin How can it be against copyright to use their Emojis in your commands?
inner jewel
because legal reasons
low owl
But he never actually copies them or such alike, right? I always thought these Emojis belong to Discord..
inner jewel
inb4 discord tos allows it
low owl
Mh, interesting. I'd think so
inner jewel
low owl
Alrighty
elder rapids
Considering Discord allows using emotes from other servers.......
earnest phoenix
could express npm cooperate with apache 
elder rapids
Unless you upload the emote yourself I doubt you can get in trouble then
prime cliff
\👑
elder rapids
As long as it's directly from this server's emote list (global emotes)
prime cliff
You could always use that 
elder rapids
Since Discord has a license to use the emote and they specifically allow the usage of global emotes from other servers I doubt you can get into legal trouble for using it as long as the emote is directly embeded from this server such that you did !dblSupporter
for example
In other words, don't upload it to your own server and use that emote ID use it from here
wot
No permission to use external emotes...?
check for user id...?
why
terse badger
@earnest phoenix what do you mean
loud bear
anyone here knows how to disable command not found error for certain guilds? discord.py rewrite branch
fathom pebble
are these emojis created and copyrighted by dbl?
elder rapids
Most likely

in jda is not member.haspermission(Permission.ADMINISTRATOR)?
or as i've done in mine the owner sets a list of roles that are "modroles"
is that what you asked?
(ps sorry for my bad english)
the emoji is a server emoji or a default one?
so if a user have not the nitro he cant use emojis from other server also in theyr nickname
you should add the same emoji in every server you want to show it
yes but not on a user nickname
where the emoji might be shown?
oh embedded?
embed*
soo... idk how it works but if i remember right external emojis have a different syntax than guild ones
if you use embeded you could directly set a image next to the user line in embed
you'll need a bit ofbtests
yeah
that's right
imma see a sec
you know emoji id?
you tryed to use it instead chat syntax
nono i understood
the emoji is now show out of the server the emoji is created right?
nono that was not what i meant
but yes i've not understood the problem is bot not adding it or emoji that is written as chat text?
well you use a database?
lel what api do you use?
i'm good whit sql
you should use something to interface whit discord
i mean : what language you use?
mmm ok
you have a server/VPS where you host the mysql daemon?
so you tried where to connect?
nope mysql is a server - client database
try for sqllite so
it's a file based database
you'll have to create a *.db file in a folder near your app
and connect to it using proper driver
as i see on google sqlite is easy to use in python
once you set it up mention me if you need help on SLQ queryes and commands 😬
uh k well if you want only local
try creating a list of user id that in your server have that role
then once your bot receives the command compare ids from that list
if the bot crashes all will be loose but you could always recreate it
loud bear
how on earth do we get the emotes id's
languid dragon
elder rapids
won't work in other servers :c (just side note)
torpid frost
as i said it works only on the server that owns the emoji 😅
floral stone
the bot can send it if they have external emoji permission
Bots have global emotions
earnest phoenix
wew
floral stone
Unless you as a user without nitro is sending it, then it won't work.
earnest phoenix
so bots is like having nitro stuff?
earnest phoenix
kewl
loud bear
I just tried it and it worked fine and i do not have nitro
elder rapids
mm?
loud bear
I used a test command with my test bot and it send an emoji from my server on another server that did not have that emote and it sent it without issues
in fact the server i used the command in have no custom emotes
elder rapids
Because bots have global emotes lol
loud bear
I only have global access to emotes from 4 servers
trim plinth
@abstract aspen avatar @topaz fjord
abstract aspenBOT
loud bear
well bots dont have access to every emote only the emotes that the bot is in lol
west current
So uh, my bot @supple marlin
The user count is 6440
The amount in this server is 13355+
The code I had is client.users.size
uncut slate
6440 is likely the amount of cached users
uncut slate
there is nothing to fix, that's the "proper" value
west current
Fuck mate
earnest phoenix
(discord.js) how would i ban a user using their username?
uh, well why not mention em
i have that done, also id but i would like to use username as well
oc
oh well use like args.slice(1) or whatever it is you do I forgot and then blah blah
i have that, just need to find the user
ooh
client.users.get(dingus).ban or somethin
naw
not right
dats wrong
message.guild.client.users.get(dingus).ban maybe?
naw
i dont kno xd
🤔
there are good youtube tutorials
sometimes
not the best tho
uh idk
anyone have any success checkmark gifs
low owl
Depends on your personality
I learn best by watching someone do it and try to replicate on my own for example
anything I stumble across then I'm going to research
Never touched Js
😅
Probably not that hard when you've already done something else so
most likely you will have trouble with syntax and its weird comparisons
like ===
or let and var
Probably just flying over this and see what you struggle with
or what is new
uncut slate
Express is definitely what you want to use as a beginner, but Koa is an underrated alternative, although slightly more advanced
Yeah, if you're starting out, Express will be easier to understand.
Middleware is one of the things that you really should grasp for JS, and Express is good at teaching you that
Oh you can definitely use Express if you're proficient too
low owl
Well, before you get proficient you have to be a noob 😛
uncut slate
it's incredibly widely used
low owl
Well, you will know something
you just need to start tbh
@uncut slate Since you are there right now, man am I excited to get the bot declined 😂
uncut slate
Which bot? 👀
low owl
Animus, but whatever. No pressure. Will the botpage be deleted when it is declined?
I might want to do a backup of that then
Yes I know, the next days.
uncut slate
It will be, yes
low owl
But I want to know if something like that is even wanted
Alrighty, quickly backing that up then. I liked how the text turned out.
Yea, it took me quite a while to get a base to work with
Uhm, let me see..
Mh, probably something basic
Originally I wanted to spent the week implementing various data collection things, but before I spent time on that I wanted to have all the basic features you would expect done.
Moderation, Google Search in case a phrase isn't understood and more error handling.
That would be an option
That's where data collection comes in
I'd simply make statistics and look through some phrases it often seemed to miss. That's probably the one with the least coding work but most manual search.
Sure, but that is a lot of work
You still need some sort of data set to work with
So you'd need to feed it n number of phrases from the personality you want to create
other than that I can only think of "pseudo" personalities
Need to research that
But I guess you mean something like there is a dataset the bot can use and it will just randomly build a sentence together based on predefined parts
I think with my current knowledge and experience that will take way too long to develop
And I don't have the datasets for such things
Well, the data needs to have some minimum amount of quality
of course you could just take all messages from a random person here and put them in the AI
but don't expect the outcome to be great then
You would still need to kind of normalize the data btw.
In the end you want to have something like magicAi.GenerateAnswer(MyIntentionAsString)
which means you have to somehow map some the data to the intentions
Which probably isn't even the right way to tackle this at all, but how else are you gonna tell your AI later what you want from it?
At that point it might just be easier to write like 10 variants for each message in your bot and pick one at random
Neither is there in preparing a dataset with thousands of sentences 😐
But well, there are probably other approaches to such a problem I can't think about right now
Don't say that, it's a good idea
It would be very nice to have the feeling to talk to a human and not a bot. That's a very nice motivation.
Uhm, yea, I agree Wordpress is not particular nice to work with
But for a lot of people with a low budget perfect
I'd even consider myself just taking some template and inserting some text. I simply don't have the time to work on the bot, website and uni.
earnest phoenix
You dont need a website
to accept webhooks
its not
Just run an http server
accept post requests that have the auth key you inserted into your dbl webhook, then take the user ID from the post data and insert it into whereever you put your upvoter IDs
y r u using wordpress
Ok so where are you storing upvoters
what kind of database
Ok what lang are u using
errr for upvote getter
Just use node
it's very easy
low owl
Probably only a few lines 👀
earnest phoenix
it will only be a few lines ye
I mean a simple webserver can be just ```js
const express = require('express')
const app = express()
app.get('/', (req, res) => res.send('Hello World!'))
app.listen(3000, () => console.log('Example app listening on port 3000!'))
(hint: I think someone opensourced his stuff that does exactly that)
earnest phoenix
except instead of app.get
you do ```js
app.post("/dblwebhook (or whatever you want to name it)", (req, res) => {
// yada yada yada
})
and then you just do a simple auth header check
just an if statement
and then you insert the user data from the object given
into ur db
wdym front end
U use javscript
instead of php
it's well worth it
but with that you dont need any front end
to get an upvote webhook server
low owl
He wants to get rid of wordpress, nothing to do with the webhook thingy
I swear, the best advice you've ever gotten is to just start
earnest phoenix
You can just look through several articles
Well that's just some guy writing an article

- if you don't want to specify the description, then don't add that parameter
- is
random.catsuppose to be a site or an API?
low owl
Probably returns a random cat image
gilded thunder
The link I used is an API.
ruby dust
but you aren't really doing the API call... you just literally provided a link to that site, and it's what it tries to do
gilded thunder
Gives this when you load the link, or something similar {"file":"https:\/\/purr.objects-us-west-1.dream.io\/i\/xmas-just-in-time.jpg"}
floral stone
You need to use aiohttp to get the json from the site and then the url.
@gilded thunder

Found another API.

If I have a regular expression that's
Hello my name is [a-zA-Z]```
what's the best way to replace the [a-zA-Z] with something in Java/JVM? What about having multiple names?Hello my name is (\S+)(\s+\S+)*```Your regex currently only describes a lower case a-z and then an uppercase A-Z
inner jewel
actually that one is just a single letter
low owl
Like you consume any HTTP Rest API? 🙃

Finally added a proper read me https://github.com/NekoTony/dbots-webhooks-py
How Is it
abstract crystal
don't like it
it stores data in json files
and you still have to read them
meh
floral stone
I could use mysql but I don't have the time
it's there for people in case someone needs it
abstract crystal
one idea would be an implementation with ngrok or sth
for the db, use sqlite
simple and no conf needed for the end user

The token of my bot changes every time I do refresh the page, as a result of which I can not run my bot, I tried to create a new token manually, and it still keeps changing
it says "This token changes on page refresh and is valid unless manually regenerated below."
inner jewel
all the tokens generated are valid
they only get invalidated when you click on reset
inner jewel
you... run it?
inner jewel
just use any of the tokens

@nimble merlin if you want to add a role to a user on guild join then use on_member_join event, it takes a member object and that's all you need
member
if it's a guild it's a member
yes
why do you want a role id?
ok
ruby dust
this is still async right?
pulls out async docs
it's definitelly not the way you did it
in order to assign a role, you first need to get the role, luckily discord.py has a built-in function for that
you need to use discord.utils to find the role, and then assign the found role
@bot.event
async def on_member_join(member):
role = discord.utils.get(ctx.message.server.roles, name = 'Members')
await bot.add_roles(member, role)
member.server.roles

Is it smart to start running my bot on heroku?
trim plinth
no you'd rather get a VPS
but if you have no pocket money to invest into VPS, its better than selfhosting

invalid json
earnest phoenix
?
inner jewel
your config is corrupted
trim plinth
show the JSON code
earnest phoenix

}
inner jewel
missing commas
trim plinth
^
earnest phoenix
there was commas and it just complained
I removed em thinking they mihgt be the issue
trim plinth
just make sure that there is commas after token and prefix
earnest phoenix
there's witht eh commas
trim plinth
uhh your token
earnest phoenix
well done
trim plinth
might want to reset that
trim plinth
show the config code without the token

trim plinth
hmm
prime cliff
Putting your ownername in config instead of getting it automatically and then your discrim/name changes
trim plinth
¯_(ツ)_/¯
floral stone
userid is better
weak parrot
Yeah
earnest phoenix
not gonna change my name
if I do, future me doesn't deserve to use the bot.
no
prime cliff
Ok then thats a deal
earnest phoenix
trim plinth
yeah but somebody else could change their name and discrim to that
prime cliff
No changing your name or you delete your bot
trim plinth
so id is better
prime cliff
earnest phoenix
someone could take my id too
trim plinth
no
prime cliff
No IDs are unique
trim plinth
no they can't change it either
earnest phoenix
they can
trim plinth
and they have no reason to
trim plinth
@earnest phoenix (((they have no reason to)))
prime cliff
@earnest phoenix You seem to know alot about the inside job of Discord are you a spy 
prime cliff
Oh god
earnest phoenix
(((if they stole anything it would be @gilded plank token)))
floral stone
They will change it, we know nothing. Go ahead and make a fool out of your code.
Good luck!
earnest phoenix
»Implying I'm not joking
I'd tell you to go ahead and make a fool of yourself but you already did.
atleast look for a tutorial for something that simple before asking us
yeah I did
trim plinth
hmm I'd say you are making a fool of yourself with that flopped comeback 
earnest phoenix
literally copypasted that from the tutorial when it first went to shit to make sure it wasn't the problem
copypasta
wow 10/10
floral stone
I was being sarcastic ya thot
earnest phoenix
jokes on you I barely understood what you said
floral stone
Original code > copypasta
earnest phoenix
anyday^
floral stone
Jokes on you, you barely understood anything I said.
earnest phoenix
copypasting code > refusing to copy and paste code when things go wrong just to make sure that that file isn't the issue
floral stone
Copypasta isn't a bad thing, it's just original code is better.
earnest phoenix
I have been doing original shit when I think of it
tbh he is on about config.json but still original code > copypasta
but I'm using this tutorial to learn the ins and outs, and straying too far from the guide too early on makes later parts incompatible
»deleted all my config files
»made config.json again
»it works
the fuck

@floral stone font =/= typeface
floral stone
print("whatever")```hmm I wonder if I can customize my VSC terminal font, or theme font in the theme settings 
terse badger
@trim plinth you can
trim plinth
wew
terse badger
The first for sure. You can then change the editor font
earnest phoenix
@floral stone can you name the languaghe?
terse badger
Regardless of theme
trim plinth
@earnest phoenix thats python
floral stone
no its not
trim plinth
not js
floral stone
looks like lua
earnest phoenix
nope
trim plinth
no I'm talking about the code snippet you did
earnest phoenix
I'll do more and tell me what you think it is
terse badger
Thats not ternary
trim plinth

anyways I'm re-learning Java again, hopefully I'll actually remember how to use it
trim plinth

can someone help me with picking a random image from a folder?
i mean, i write "fly random ship" and it sends a random ship pic
(from a folder)
elder rapids
math.random
trim plinth
Math.random and Math.floor
vital lark
myVar[Math.floor(Math.random() * myVar.length))];
const myVar = require('./folder/file.json');
trim plinth
you would do it above the Math.floor or it'll return undefined
elder rapids
Wait was I actually close to correct?
earnest phoenix
@vital lark can u explain please?
vital lark
maybe 
earnest phoenix
i need to create an array of images?
earnest phoenix
yes
vital lark
yes
trim plinth
maybe
elder rapids
Shitpost you weebs if you gonna do that
earnest phoenix
fs
trim plinth
You should know how to make an array
terse badger
Learn how 2 think
earnest phoenix
im new to js, so sorry, i dont know
terse badger
This isnt a js specific problem
earnest phoenix
g00gel "how to get all files in directory" js
trim plinth
learn js before making a js bot™
terse badger
You think abour how you would deal with the problem step by step, and then you google how to do each step
terse badger
Ifyou cant find an answer to a step, then it hasnt been broken down enough
elder rapids
That requires they understand the concept of problem solving
vital lark
[
"myimage"
]
const myVar = require('./folder/file.json'); // folder is the folder and file is your file
console.log(`${myVar[Math.floor(Math.random() * myVar.length)]}`);
augu ya spoonfeed
earnest phoenix
oof thats in a json file
elder rapids
no u
earnest phoenix
he wanted all files out of a directory
terse badger
@earnest phoenix then deduce how to
elder rapids
Why's that matter
terse badger
Irrelevant
elder rapids
^
terse badger
We're helping you to help yourseld
trim plinth
@earnest phoenix august just gave you the code, how do you still not understand
earnest phoenix
thatss a nice solution, thx
terse badger
So you require less spoonfeeding in the future
elder rapids
The rules even state we don't spoonfeed
earnest phoenix
catch a fish for a man, he will have fish for a day
terse badger
If we just throw you the code, you wont learn too well
earnest phoenix
teach a man to fish, he will have fish for the rest of his life
terse badger
Each of those steps should be easily googlable
vital lark
#memes-and-media kthx
vital lark
earnest phoenix
GOOGLE UP
terse badger
@vital lark leave
trim plinth
@vital lark no u
terse badger
Cant tell if taxi is being sarcastic rn
earnest phoenix
be nice
terse badger
Your problem broken down:
trim plinth
terse badger
Get a list of all images in a folder
Choose a random element of the list
Success
Then further break down those problems
earnest phoenix
in 99% of cases you should be googling it
if you don't find an answer ask somewhere
i have that even in a notebook already
somebody, somewhere has had the same issue as you
trim plinth
listen to what they are saying and maybe you'll get the answer with the help of your friend google 
terse badger
You have what in a notebook
earnest phoenix
the solution
terse badger
🤔
earnest phoenix
for dumbs: block scheme
trim plinth
just a question, why are you making a js bot if you don't know js well enough 
terse badger
^
trim plinth
no it isn't
earnest phoenix
so i make XD
terse badger
It isnt reeally
earnest phoenix
for me it is
terse badger
Clearly not?
earnest phoenix
.-.
trim plinth
JS may be easy but you can't run straight into it if you have no idea what you are doing
elder rapids
Making a bot is a lot harder than you think
earnest phoenix
if i say it is you dont have to add things to what i said
elder rapids
It looks simple when you just have a few servers with simple ping pong style commands
earnest phoenix
because all programming language can have different structures
terse badger
What has languages got to do with it
earnest phoenix
for example 12+12 in binary and in trinary numeric system is different
earnest phoenix
my point is that a solution for a problem may be the same but the sintaxis is different
**NOW U GET IT???**
terse badger
Anyone else not get what hes saying here and how it's relevant?
earnest phoenix
stop exposing me to others
terse badger
🤔 🤔 🤔
earnest phoenix
analise it by urself
terse badger
Wheeze
terse badger
If youre having issues getting a random image from a folder, but dont have issues making a moderately complex bot
You got a problem
earnest phoenix
for correcting my grammar .-.
earnest phoenix
if you dont have the capability to accept that its not ur problem, then dont get inside it
earnest phoenix
i dont need
