how would i add an exception to this code?
if message.content.startswith('?time'): timeinput = message.content[6:] tz = pytz.timezone(timeinput) gmt_now = datetime.datetime.now(tz) await client.send_message(message.channel, "The date and time in " + timeinput + " is " + str(gmt_now)[:16] + ".")
currently, this is what happens when there is an exception. the handler prints this: Ignoring exception in on_message Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\soyou\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\python\lib\site-packages\discord.py-0.16.12-py3.6.egg\discord\client.py", line 307, in _run_event yield from getattr(self, event)(*args, **kwargs) File "C:\Users\soyou\Desktop\komaeda\bot.py", line 52, in on_message tz = pytz.timezone(timeinput) File "C:\Users\soyou\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\python\lib\site-packages\pytz\__init__.py", line 180, in timezone raise UnknownTimeZoneError(zone) pytz.exceptions.UnknownTimeZoneError: 'the moon'
i want my bot to send a different message when someone puts an invalid timezone.

Oh yeah my question was:
How do the webhooks work with dblapi? Are they like normal discord webhooks or?
I am a bit confused. If someone could help express it a bit more, would be appreciated.
lament meteor
dblapi webhook isnt a discord webhook
tulip kraken
uhm
austere meadow
webhooks are basically a little request that gets sent everytime someone votes for your bot
you setup a webserver, or some other place to collect the HTTP request, then when someone votes on your bot, the webhook will relay basic information, like user-id and bot-id to you through the request body
tulip kraken
anyone know a good API for anime gifs like Slap gifs

earnest phoenix
Oh alright. I understand now, thanks. I was just confused on how they worked

@tulip kraken u have to apply for a weeb.sh key

Not yet. I was just curious on how it worked for when I get to that area

ok, i wrote a page today to make it easy. still a work in progress, but if u create one it will give you a link to put in the DBL webhook field that will foward the userid to your discord channel

@tulip kraken @lament meteor we do make exceptions with who to accept into weeb.sh though ;)
This also goes for the guild count

Anybody know what type of numbers work for both Rich Embed Colours and normal embed Colours? Is it hexadecimal or what, I don't know what it is.
They both must be integers too
bitter sundial
if you know the hex eg. #FFFFFF you can write it as 0xFFFFFF

well according to the docs the data type for color is integer.
so that should be the case for whatever library you're using.

I always leave my computer on 24/7 anyway so I just run mine right off of my computer
Not really an issue
Not such a great idea for people with laptops or something, though
halcyon abyss
usually either you let your computer run either you use a server
novel bronze
You can either pay for a server or find some service that lets you host your bots for free on their end
I know someone that managed to do the latter but I forget the name of the site he used, rip

Hey, I need some help with arrays and lists
I have a var of commands, and I want to find the length.
var commands = {

how would I find the length of the var?

you might wanna use const b/c its better.
grizzled isle
if anything, try commands.size
wet ferry
ok?
wet ferry
??
grizzled isle
Sorry, I was thinking it was a collection.
grizzled isle
commands is an object
object.length will give you the amount
wet ferry
commands.<Object>.length ??
grizzled isle
π€¦
young cradle
<> is a placeholder
wet ferry
commands.length
young cradle
It will return a number
young cradle
It can only return undefined if commands has no properties/methods
wet ferry
can u check if it does?
here's an example:
var commands = {
balance: {
aliases: ["bal","money"],
usage: "ms!balance",
description: "See your MakerCoins balance",
permissons: "none",
category: "eco",
do: (message, content) => {
let embed = new Discord.RichEmbed()
embed.setAuthor("Your MakerCoins Balance",message.author.avatarURL)
embed.setColor(0xF8B90E)
embed.addField("Coins", data.coins[message.author.id])
message.channel.send(embed)
}
}
}
@young cradle
topaz fjord
did you try .size?
young cradle
Then use Object.keys(commands).length;
If you want to iterate those objects, you could count how many when iterating

custom emojis are formatted <:name:id:>
novel bronze
abstract mango
ye
dusty sandal
so how would i send one?
novel bronze
You need to get that string
dusty sandal
i can grab the id
novel bronze
and then you can just tell the bot to send it as is
dusty sandal
example?
novel bronze
Like how if you tell a bot to send <@userId>, it'll turn into a mention
dusty sandal
hmmm
novel bronze
For emotes you can find the stuff to copy by typing \:emote:
dusty sandal
so something like this? message.channel.send(`${id of emote} heres the emote`)
dusty sandal
i tried that and it didnt work
novel bronze
So like for example
if you wanted to send
If you wanted to send that
you just tell the bot to send this string:
You send that as is.
Discord will automatically turn it into the right emote
dusty sandal
so message.channel.send(`${:tickYes:315009125694177281} heres the emote`)
dusty sandal
ok

it's literally justmessage.channel.send(" heres the emote")

how did you get the id?

Copied the text
lament meteor
@dusty sandal i found a easier way

whats that way?

do u use js?
dusty sandal
yes
lament meteor
const emojiList = message.guild.emojis.map(e=>e.toString()).slice(0, 20).join(" ");
message.channel.send(emojiList);```u can just run that
dusty sandal
ok thanks
lament meteor
i did the slice(0, 20) so it doesnt go over the text limit
lament meteor
he is trying to get emote ids
also @dusty sandal iirc u can get emotes via the name
dusty sandal
yes
elder rapids
Via code or just in general then?
dusty sandal
whatever works
elder rapids
I mean if it's just in general a backslash before the emote is fine π€·

well i want to get the ids for nitro emotes
lament meteor
@elder rapids but it doesnt work for animated emotes
elder rapids
:ditto:
lament meteor
c
dusty sandal
thank the lord
lament meteor
ik
elder rapids
They now properly check nitro and remove the raw emote
If you send an animated emote (escaped) you'll see for a VERY brief second that it shows <a:name:id> then disappears to :name:

also @dusty sandal i shows u another example how to get emotes using a bot in #commands

The border needs to be even on every side

font = ImageFont.truetype('/home/alice-bot/storage/KeepCalm-Medium.ttf', 110)

msg = "1"
W, H = img.size
w, h = draw.textsize(msg, font=font)
x, y = ((W-w)/2,(H-h)/2)
draw.text((x,y), msg, fill=(255,255,255), font=font)
img.save(fullpath, 'PNG', quality=100)
img2 = Image.open(fullpath).convert('RGBA')
newData = []
for item in img2.getdata():
if item[3] != 0:
newData.append((0,0,0,255))
else:
newData.append(item)
img2.putdata(newData)
img = img.resize((112, 112), Image.ANTIALIAS)
offset = ((img.size[0] - img.size[0]) // 2, (img.size[1] - img.size[1]) // 2)
img2.paste(img, offset, img)
img2.save(fullpath, 'PNG', quality=100)```Do you save and then reopen?
floral stone
Stil thought, it's not about whether or not how it's coded.
It still doesn't work.
The border
Focus on the border
Saving it keeps the white
Anyways
I just need to know how to center it properly.
I need to resize the image more aswell
like stretch
spring ember
Also the offset is always going to be zero
floral stone
No
It needs to be in the center of the black #1
With offset (0,0)
What needs to be done is make the width longer aswell.

frigid thistle
TY @mental solstice!
mental solstice
Only way to tell its a test right now is if your userid votes more than once in 24 hours
frigid thistle
mhm
Is there any way to set the message that the webhook uses when the bot is upvoted?
mental solstice
I could do it in a little bit.. how do u want the message to look? Ill just add a parameter to the link youll put im the dbl webhook spot.. keep in mind it will only send userId botId query and type(which just says upvoted i believe)
mental solstice
@frigid thistle if you just use the password parameter with a current password youre using, you can set up to 5 webhooks with that password, and delete them as necessary
mental solstice
your bot would have to turn the userid into the actual user
but i can make it say 1234567890 just upvoted Hulkbot!
mental solstice
would be nice if dbl passed the username with the webhook
mental solstice
i notify players by grabbing the user id, and looping through _client.AvailbleGuilds and finding that user id
uncut slate
you can get the username from the id
frigid thistle
How?
frigid thistle
Or just sending <@${user}> π
uncut slate
that doesn't give you the username
frigid thistle
No crap
uncut slate
that would need a human to read it
uncut slate
a mention is not a username, he asked for a username
a mention isn't going to be a mention either if the user isn't cached
frigid thistle
But
mental solstice
@frigid thistle i lied
frigid thistle
wat

Using
Sqlite3 (node.js, discord.js)
Want to
Check if row exists where name and id equal something
Error/Problem
No error. If I have if(row !== []) it sends false positives and if I have if(row == []) it never sends a positive. Row is equal to []
languid dragon
if (row[0]) {
exists
} else {
doesn't
}
night imp
wow I am dumb
languid dragon
because if there are no results
there will be no first result
otherwise it's always an array
and ur checking if it is an array or not
night imp
Yeah should of thought of that. Thank you

how do i send a message to a specific channel using shards in discord.js? I tried this:
client.shard.broadcastEval(client.guilds.get(id).channels.get(id)).then(channel => {
channel.send("message");
});```
but that didn't work 
gilded blaze
doesn't it have to be a string
lament meteor
ids are a string not a number
bleak sapphire
how do i make a my bot send a message to a channel every 1 minute? i was able to get the channel id and store it in a database but i dont know how im gonna make the bot send the message using a on_ready event
heres my current code
im using discord.py async with mongodb
@bot.event
async def on_ready():
print("ready")
if db.messagetimers.find({"channel_id_by_timer"}).count():
i dont know what to do now after that

@dense cape iirc node-gyp was changed to node-gd so thats why it is erroring node-gyp is outdated and depreciated
dense cape
How does one fix?
lament meteor
use a different db
dense cape
Cant
lament meteor
why?
dense cape
This one is better than all of them
lament meteor
doesnt quickdb saves in a json
dense cape
All formats
lament meteor
use mongo or sql or enmap

@bleak sapphire
maybe just
await bot.send_message(bot.get_channel("ID"), content="")
await asyncio.sleep(60)```I'm using this for twitch notification and it works for me
bleak sapphire
well its working but its only sending a message in one channel in the database when there are two channels
@bot.event
async def on_ready():
print("ready")
#data = db.messagetimer.find({"channel_id_by_timer"}).count()
#channel = bot.get_channel(data)
try:
for names in db.messagetimers.find({}):
channel = names['channel_id_by_timer']
interval = names['interval_by_timer']
message = names['message_by_timer']
while True:
await bot.send_message(bot.get_channel(channel), message)
await asyncio.sleep(interval)
except Exception as e:
print(e)
current code
elder stratus
'channel' var is a list?
languid dragon
can one of you quickly test something for me (nvm)
elder stratus
channels is a list of IDs
bleak sapphire
ok srue
wait
im having issues printing it but it basically prints it like this
4
4
1
5
7
6
5
5
6
0
9
6
2
5
8
0
5
2
and it only prints one channel ID
@elder stratus
elder stratus
Could you send whole on_ready?
bleak sapphire
mongodb_host = "localhost"
mongodb_port = "27017"
client = MongoClient(mongodb_host + ':' + mongodb_port)
db = client['messagetimers']
bot.remove_command('help')
# Start
@bot.event
async def on_ready():
print("ready")
#data = db.messagetimer.find({"channel_id_by_timer"}).count()
#channel = bot.get_channel(data)
try:
for names in db.messagetimers.find({}):
channel = names['channel_id_by_timer']
interval = names['interval_by_timer']
message = names['message_by_timer']
for channelxd in channel:
print(channelxd)
except Exception as e:
print(e)
#payload = {"server_count" : len(bot.servers)}
#async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as aioclient:
# await aioclient.post(dbl_url, data=payload, headers=headers)
await bot.change_presence(game=discord.Game(name="Successfully connected"))
await asyncio.sleep(10)
await bot.change_presence(game=discord.Game(name=f"{len(bot.servers)} Servers | ts help", type=3))
it pretty much prints the last channel id
in the db
bleak sapphire
hmmm
wait i remember reading a stackoverflow post about printing the entire thing
lemem find it
elder stratus
I've never used db
spring ember
Then it's the time to start lul
elder stratus
Yeah...
bleak sapphire
this is harder than i thought
getting the channel id and putting it in the db using a command was easy though
but damn it
bleak sapphire
lol
spring ember
bleak sapphire
is it possible to run mongodb on heroku xD
elder stratus
Wait
elder stratus
I probably know how to fix this
try:
for names in db.messagetimers.find({}):
channel = names['channel_id_by_timer']
interval = names['interval_by_timer']
message = names['message_by_timer']
channels.append(channel)
for channelxd in channels:
print(channelxd)```@bleak sapphire

probably my local internet connection, because when I was testing, i was testing with GCP's IP
not with localhost
and my internet's quite slow here
restive silo
hmm
earnest phoenix
maybe it was because of that
slender thistle
tfw your bot and dbl library aiohttp versions are incompatible so you manually post the server count with only aiohttp.
slender thistle
Yes. 
Managed to get more errors for one function than overall in my entire life.
earnest phoenix
slender thistle
All those fucking multidicts and shit.
At least it works.
Or not.
Yay, asyncio gave up on life.
slender thistle
It works fine on start but not after 30 minutes.

Hey all. Which service do you use to host your bot? I tried Zeit, but it spins down the app after a few hours
uncut slate
I use DigitalOcean
stray cedar
Interesting. Never heard of it
bitter sundial
my bot is on Vultr now
stray cedar
Are both free / paid?
bitter sundial
paid
stray cedar
And do they sleep if no-one pings it in x amount of time?
bitter sundial
they dont
stray cedar
How much, if you don't mind me asking?
bitter sundial
lowest tier in DigitalOcean $5/month
Vultr $2.5/month (only in some regions, maybe, often out of stock; next tier is the same as above)
stray cedar
Cool. I don't expect anyone to actually use it, so I'll try Vultr
bitter sundial
also
stray cedar
Ideally I'd like a free service that doesn't sleep with x free executions / month
bitter sundial
are you a student
good luck finding a free one like that
they dont exist and if they do, only for a short amount of time
uncut slate
you can get $50 in DigitalOcean credit if you're a student
solemn obsidian
When something is free to you, someone else pays for it in some way
bitter sundial
oh and protip
if you register a vultr account and wait, they'll email you a promo code to get $20 free credit
spring ember
someone here knows vue and can help me with it?
ruby dust
you can host on github thing (forgot how it's called) for free if you are a student
ruby dust
skysilk has a free plan which is enough for a bot with like 500 servers
earnest phoenix
What u think is the best way to make a help command that looks the best?
Discord.js <-----
minor elm
Try ```
earnest phoenix
I mean should I make it a embed or something else
minor elm
For an image? You do what you like most
earnest phoenix
For bot command
minor elm
Embed is for images
minor elm
Probably other files as well
earnest phoenix
good beginning for my bot 6 commands
What is the safest way me to upload my bot to github?
tulip steeple
Brb, gonna configure my bot
toxic oracle
preferrably both
elder rapids
@spring ember still need that vue help? Can help in like an hour if it's not a quick question
bitter jay
lol
elder rapids
Been like past an hour but hi I'm here @spring ember
earnest phoenix
https://hastebin.com/fitejanage.js why doesn't my xp system work properly? It resets everytime the bot launches
elder rapids
pro-tip don't use files (json files) as a way to store that data
elder rapids
For scalability it is horrendous
earnest phoenix
It worked like 3 days ago though
trim plinth
json is never good as a db/storing data like xp
elder rapids
writing to a file thousands of times a second is terrible
elder rapids
You'll bottleneck pretty damn fast the way you're doing it
earnest phoenix
Ok
trim plinth
I suggest using a db instead of json because I can tell you from now, you'll most likely regret using json for a db
earnest phoenix
so it'd be xp.db?
trim plinth
no
earnest phoenix
oh
elder rapids
A database is a program
elder rapids
It's a program that runs in the background 24/7 that manages... the obvious of data
earnest phoenix
what program do you guys recommend?
elder rapids
Choosing a database is really up to what your needs are
trim plinth
rethinkdb, sqlite, etc are good ones
earnest phoenix
I need it to store xp systems
trim plinth
mongo is good too
earnest phoenix
but nothing else really
elder rapids
NoSQL is probably nicer for XP systems
elder rapids
Since you're writing a lot and remove unnecessary indexing and other relational stuff
earnest phoenix
now its not even adding xp to anyone
elder rapids
Depending on your bot size you're likely bottlenecking with this
earnest phoenix
prob
elder rapids
If several message events are being triggered you'll bottleneck VERY fast
earnest phoenix
True
elder rapids
You have to consistently keep reading the file and then consistently write to it
Both having a lock mechanism
trim plinth
elder rapids
Terrible on performance
earnest phoenix
so what database should I use and how would I get it to work with my bot?
elder rapids
You have to pick yourself
We mentioned Mongo and Rethink (NoSQL databases)
Do some research yourself and what might be best for you and what you'd prefer
earnest phoenix
Ok
elder rapids
I'm going to personally say I'm using MongoDB for everything in my bot and that means XP system too
trim plinth
rethink is easy
toxic oracle
if he comes back and asks if something like sqlite is good imma kms
elder rapids
But I have oodles of other stuff on top of it
trim plinth
at least sqlite is somewhat better than mysql
toxic oracle
trim plinth
just my opinion, don't murder me
toxic oracle
understandable

did u install node-gyp correctly?
knotty steeple
node-gyp?
topaz fjord
spring ember
it seems it is a prerequisite
topaz fjord
use option 2
elder rapids
use option uno
elder rapids
one π
topaz fjord
two
spring ember
try both
knotty steeple
topaz fjord
because most people seem to succeed with option 2
elder rapids
One is just an easy one line install
spring ember
delete system32 problem fixed
elder rapids
You can't
topaz fjord
npm install --global --production windows-build-tools
well
dont want to argue
with novus
so do that
as admin
pls
elder rapids
turtle ish joke
knotty steeple
yes ik
elder rapids
Obviously second is nicer because you'll succeed more
knotty steeple
i installed build tools wrong then
elder rapids
But it's the problem that they'll have to pain with getting all the deps for it or the build tools to make it etc..
knotty steeple
i still get errors
knotty steeple
Error: Cannot find module 'better-sqlite3'
and i literally installed it like 3 times
spring ember
Then check if this is the package name
knotty steeple
it is the package name
spring ember
Make sure it is in the node_modules
knotty steeple
i installed it globally
knotty steeple
i dont know anymore
