So u had it first as “bot”

brisk ginkgo May 11, 2018, 2:51 AM

#

?

tepid laurel May 11, 2018, 2:51 AM

#

And you need to login

#

is bot = require('discord.js')

brisk ginkgo May 11, 2018, 2:51 AM

#

can u show me your code

quasi hearth May 11, 2018, 2:52 AM

#

try changing 'bot' to 'client'

tepid laurel May 11, 2018, 2:52 AM

#

Uh no plenty of free sources on google

quasi hearth May 11, 2018, 2:52 AM

just a hunch

Plus, you're not logging in even.

brisk ginkgo May 11, 2018, 2:52 AM

#

wjhat u mena

tepid laurel May 11, 2018, 2:53 AM

#

paste below

#

client.login('sometoken')

brisk ginkgo May 11, 2018, 2:53 AM

#

dose bot.login not work?

quasi hearth May 11, 2018, 2:53 AM

#

demon_hell, on your first few lines, do you have a code like
var client = require('discord.js') ?

if so, then bot.login('token') wont work
You need to use:
client.login('token');

tepid laurel May 11, 2018, 2:53 AM

#

It depends how you defined your instance of it

#

And you defined it as client

#

Meaning bot is undefined yes

#

@quasi hearth could you not

quasi hearth May 11, 2018, 2:54 AM

#

😦

brisk ginkgo May 11, 2018, 2:54 AM

worked

tepid laurel May 11, 2018, 2:55 AM

Okay great but you sure are long way from getting a hang of it all. What I suggest is reading guides or so, source codes, puzzling it all, as is google your best friend

how do i shut off my bot?

end the process via terminal (ctrl + c) or close it

ISSUE: '+instagram' spams for some reason
EDIT: strangely, changing the link to text fixes the issue

anyone got an idea on how to fix

#

Hi, is this the proper channel to address a slight issue with?

ruby dust May 11, 2018, 5:09 AM

#

this is bot development discussion, if that's what you mean

soft shadow May 11, 2018, 5:11 AM

#

Well, no, see, I'm trying to resolve an issue I've been having as of late concerning the Login function.

quasi hearth May 11, 2018, 5:12 AM

#

What's the issue?

soft shadow May 11, 2018, 5:13 AM

#

I use Discord on both my mobile device and my Kindle Fire tablet (although my phone is always the more beneficial use), but I've noticed that each time I try to invite a Discord bot on my phone, via the Authorization panel, it doesn't have my main account signed in. Yet, on my tablet, it does, and I wanna be able to have my main Discord account signed in on my phone as well.

#

I've tried logging out of Discordbots.org on both devices

#

And it seems to keep the same issue around. My phone seems to only recognize my secondary account

#

And my tablet the primary one

quasi hearth May 11, 2018, 5:14 AM

#

Try logging out from the app

ruby dust May 11, 2018, 5:14 AM

#

discordbots.org uses your actual discord account, so you have to sign out from that instead

soft shadow May 11, 2018, 5:14 AM

#

I'm currently using my primary account. I can try signing out of this one and see what it does, but if nothing changes, I'l come back in.

heady zinc May 11, 2018, 5:16 AM

#

to answer your first question

📎 unknown.png

solid cliff May 11, 2018, 5:16 AM

#

you are trying to signout through mobile right

#

http://discordapp.com/users/@me - can go to settings in discord using the browser and can signout, login with your primary and invite bots

soft shadow May 11, 2018, 5:18 AM

#

Alright, let me try that because signing out of both devices didn't work

ruby dust May 11, 2018, 5:18 AM

#

well you are technically inviting bots via a oauth page on the browser, so you need to log into the correct account on that corresponding browser then

soft shadow May 11, 2018, 5:20 AM

#

Alright it seems that aspect was logged in with my other account. I signed in and relogged in with my primary.

#

I'm gonna test to see if it'll work now.

quasi hearth May 11, 2018, 5:20 AM

#

Good luck

soft shadow May 11, 2018, 5:21 AM

Successful login. Thank you very much, guys, the issue has been resolved.

That was teh only way I manage to make it to ignore everything except real people?

#

It works, but is that the most effecient way?

quiet bobcat May 11, 2018, 9:20 AM

You could use /\s+/g instead of /ld!/g

#

also you could use message.content.startsWith

instead of message.content.indexOf

You don't need !== 0

just if it doesn't start with config.prefix return

#

oh, so I can remove the whole !==0 ?

quiet bobcat May 11, 2018, 9:26 AM

add a ! before message

is the node package installed?

that looks like it might be a problem with your code that fetches the stats

What do I gotta add?

bot.command(pass_context = True)

    await bot.say(embed = embed)

quasi hearth May 11, 2018, 1:44 PM

#

mentions look like this to the bot: <@id>
so to get a user from a mention, you need to do something like:
ctx.message.guild.members.get(id)
(You will need to write the code to get id by yourself, as I'm not fully sure on how your messages are formatted and stuff)
(might not work exactly, as I use discord.js)

earnest phoenix May 11, 2018, 3:29 PM

#

yes

violet wyvern May 11, 2018, 3:29 PM

#

How?

elder rapids May 11, 2018, 3:29 PM

#

Heroku is a PaaS

#

it can run close to anything (in languages)

#

close to anything overall is a bad statement

earnest phoenix May 11, 2018, 3:30 PM

Someone who doesnt know how to use heroku isnt going to be able to use a linux vps

Um

#

Using Heroku == Linux VPS

topaz fjord May 11, 2018, 3:34 PM

#

Linux is easy to understand

elder rapids May 11, 2018, 3:34 PM

#

Heroku is still a command line VPS that's linux

earnest phoenix May 11, 2018, 3:34 PM

Someone who doesnt know how to use putty and datttt

or whatever u use

topaz fjord May 11, 2018, 3:35 PM

elder rapids May 11, 2018, 3:35 PM

It's not that hard to learn PuTTY

topaz fjord May 11, 2018, 3:35 PM

FileZilla is easy

elder rapids May 11, 2018, 3:37 PM

elder rapids May 11, 2018, 3:38 PM

#

Linux is easier

earnest phoenix May 11, 2018, 3:39 PM

#

Linux is easy

#

not easier

#

for someone that has never used linux

elder rapids May 11, 2018, 3:39 PM

#

It also has a bit more control in terms of security and other stuff

#

Linux is very good with that

topaz fjord May 11, 2018, 3:39 PM

#

It only took me 10 mind of googling to figure out how to set my bot up in Linux

earnest phoenix May 11, 2018, 3:39 PM

#

What os do you have

topaz fjord May 11, 2018, 3:39 PM

I have windows

Because linux is shit for a personal computer

uncut slate May 11, 2018, 3:40 PM

#

Linux is definitely not for everybody (regarding personal machines), but for some it can be far more powerful than windows

topaz fjord May 11, 2018, 3:40 PM

#

I use windows for my games

solid cliff May 11, 2018, 3:40 PM

#

Yus

topaz fjord May 11, 2018, 3:40 PM

That's mainly why

At least Aeth doesn't argue crazily about it

Arch, Ubuntu wat

quiet bobcat May 11, 2018, 7:22 PM

#

How can I make so that if someone writes supercoolsite.com/test.html it just redirects to supercoolsite.com/test?

inner jewel May 11, 2018, 7:25 PM

#

what do you have on your server?

#

for nginx you could use try_files $uri $uri.html =404 or something like that

quiet bobcat May 11, 2018, 7:26 PM

#

ok

#

thanks

sick kraken May 11, 2018, 8:15 PM

#

Hey I need help guys.

#

If you know .js scripts.

quasi forge May 11, 2018, 8:16 PM

#

Ok...

sick kraken May 11, 2018, 8:17 PM

#

Do you know .js? @quasi forge

#

Hey, so.. My bot is kinda old. ^_^ And it relies on roles.. 9:

quasi forge May 11, 2018, 8:20 PM

#

Ok

violet wyvern May 11, 2018, 8:21 PM

#

How do I make a welcome and leave message?

knotty steeple May 11, 2018, 8:22 PM

#

library

solid cliff May 11, 2018, 8:22 PM

#

@violet wyvern store the channel id and server id the owner chooses to set, when a member joins, if the join is the server, get the channel id and send a message, same for leave

violet wyvern May 11, 2018, 8:23 PM

#

That doesn't work

#

Error

solemn obsidian May 11, 2018, 8:23 PM

#

then provide the code and error?

sick kraken May 11, 2018, 8:24 PM

#

Sure.

#

Well, this is my code.

#

client.elevation = message => {
let permlvl = 0;
let mod_role = message.guild.roles.find('name', settings.modrolename); @solemn obsidian

knotty steeple May 11, 2018, 8:25 PM

#

pls

sick kraken May 11, 2018, 8:25 PM

#

?

#

The error is the r in roles.

quasi hearth May 11, 2018, 8:26 PM

#

in d.js, can you edit an embed with msg.edit?

quasi forge May 11, 2018, 8:27 PM

#

No idea

#

Never tried that

grizzled isle May 11, 2018, 8:27 PM

#

If the embed layout is the same. You should.

#

Actually, you can.

violet wyvern May 11, 2018, 8:28 PM

#

This is my welcome code: module.exports = member => { let guild = member.guild; guild.defaultChannel.send(Please welcome ${member.user.username} to the server!);};
Leave code:
module.exports = member => { let guild = member.guild; guild.defaultChannel.send(Please say goodbye to ${member.user.username} we will miss you!);};

grizzled isle May 11, 2018, 8:28 PM

#

Default channel is deprecated.

quasi hearth May 11, 2018, 8:28 PM

how? like this?: msg.edit({embed:embed});

i think

acoustic juniper May 11, 2018, 11:14 PM

topaz fjord May 11, 2018, 11:14 PM

#

are you saying hi to the bot

@topaz fjord where would you put the if(message.author.bot) return;

knotty steeple May 11, 2018, 11:17 PM

anywhere

#

in the msg event

just not in if statements

acoustic juniper May 11, 2018, 11:17 PM

#

so after the bot.on or before?

knotty steeple May 11, 2018, 11:17 PM

#

after

acoustic juniper May 11, 2018, 11:17 PM

so like this

#

const bot = new Discord.Client();

      message.channel.send("hi");

shy verge May 11, 2018, 11:27 PM

like a ping command that gives you latency?

acoustic juniper May 11, 2018, 11:50 PM

#

How do you check if someone with a specific role sent a command?

night imp May 11, 2018, 11:50 PM

#

get the user, find him in the guild, check his roles

#

Also language please

shy verge May 11, 2018, 11:51 PM

#

is your bot confined to one server or do you plan to expand/scale?

acoustic juniper May 11, 2018, 11:51 PM

#

one server

shy verge May 11, 2018, 11:51 PM

#

ok

#

what lib are you using

acoustic juniper May 11, 2018, 11:51 PM

#

just checking for ownership though i'm using Discord.js

shy verge May 11, 2018, 11:51 PM

#

ownership?

#

hmmm

#

again, what lib are you using?

acoustic juniper May 11, 2018, 11:52 PM

#

Discord.js

topaz fjord May 11, 2018, 11:53 PM

#

you can do message.member to get the GuildMember

and GuildMember has the property roles

shy verge May 11, 2018, 11:54 PM

#

if(message.guild.ownerID == message.member.id) doStuff();

topaz fjord May 11, 2018, 11:54 PM

#

then you can use .filter on the roles since it returns a collection to find if the user has a role with a specific name

#

wait

#

are u trying to find if the guild owner id is the same as the message author?

acoustic juniper May 11, 2018, 11:54 PM

#

yup just to find the owner

shy verge May 11, 2018, 11:54 PM

#

the above codeblock will work

topaz fjord May 11, 2018, 11:54 PM

#

so do what @shy verge did

acoustic juniper May 11, 2018, 11:59 PM

#

ok it works

earnest phoenix May 12, 2018, 12:23 AM

#

every time a user connects send large key to everyone connected (key = just text)
every time a user connects all connected users check if they have the key, if not, ask the user that just joined for it

#

in terms of efficiency, what would be best

#

take into account that the 2nd option might bombard the new user with requests, if you have a better idea pls share

topaz fjord May 12, 2018, 12:27 AM

#

so if they have no key they depend on that one person for the key

Just gonna post this here```py
def get_default_channel(self, guild):
channels = guild.text_channels
text_cha = [x.name.lower() for x in channels]
lines = ["general", "lounge", "chat", "hangout"]
words_in_line = []
for y in lines:
words_in_line += [x for x in text_cha if y in x]
k = []

    if len(words_in_line) > 0:
        for x in words_in_line:
            channel = discord.utils.get(channels, name=x)
            perm = guild.me.permissions_in(channel)
            if channel is not None and all([perm.send_messages, perm.read_messages, perm.embed_links]):
                k.append(channel)
                channels.remove(channel)

    if len(k) == 0:
        for x in guild.text_channels:
            perm = guild.me.permissions_in(x)
            if all([perm.send_messages, perm.read_messages, perm.embed_links]):
                k.append(x)

    if len(k) == 0:
        return None
    else:
        return k[0]```

#

I feel proud of this, anyone can use.

quasi hearth May 12, 2018, 12:51 AM

#

what does this do?

grizzled isle May 12, 2018, 12:52 AM

#

for y in lines:
            words_in_line += [x for x in text_cha if y in x]

This will never run

#

nevermind

#

me being stupid

floral stone May 12, 2018, 12:53 AM

#

It works

#

for me

#

It finds the default channel in a server. First, it sees if there any servers in the lines are in any channel names. Then it will remove the channels if it doesn't have read msg, send msg, and embed link permissions. Now, if it doesn't find any channels with the name or if all those channels don't have permissions, it will do the same thing over again for all the channels in the guild not the filtered out ones. Once done, if there are no channels then it will return None otherwise it will return the first channel in the list.

@quasi hearth

quasi hearth May 12, 2018, 12:57 AM

#

interesting... seems dangerous

floral stone May 12, 2018, 12:59 AM

#

Not really. It just finds the main channel.

quasi hearth May 12, 2018, 12:59 AM

#

oh, i thought you meant that it deletes the channels lol

floral stone May 12, 2018, 12:59 AM

#

No.

#

It just gets the default channel

ashen quail May 12, 2018, 1:01 AM

#

https://hastebin.com/umitopomeq.js

It says fail even after 1 minute

quasi hearth May 12, 2018, 1:04 AM

#

maybe its because you keep adding 1 minute?

ashen quail May 12, 2018, 1:09 AM

#

then what do i do to fix it?

fluid basin May 12, 2018, 1:10 AM

#

lol wot

quasi hearth May 12, 2018, 1:10 AM

#

add some kind of conditional to make it not add 1 if there already has been 1 min added, until it says test, where you toggle the conditional

#

like this? https://hastebin.com/dusodumujo.js

ashen quail May 12, 2018, 1:14 AM

#

okay lemme try that

#

@quasi hearth weird, I wait 1 minute and it still says fail.

fluid basin May 12, 2018, 1:19 AM

#

...

#

var a = moment.utc().add(1, 'minute');
setTimeout(() => {
  var b = moment.utc();
  if (b > a){
    console.log("Test");
  } else {
    console.log("fail");
  }
}),61000);

#

you can add 1 more sec

#

just in case

quasi hearth May 12, 2018, 1:21 AM

#

unless he wants it to keep pinging with "fail"

fluid basin May 12, 2018, 1:22 AM

#

He doesn't understand his code rn

#

When you have var a = moment.utc().add(1, 'minute'); and var b = moment.utc();

#

You basically tell node to set 'a' as 1 min later and 'b' as the current time

#

So ofc a > b and b will never > a

ashen quail May 12, 2018, 1:22 AM

#

I removed the ) after 61000 because it caused an error

fluid basin May 12, 2018, 1:23 AM

#

oh wait some edits

quasi hearth May 12, 2018, 1:23 AM

#

nuuu

fluid basin May 12, 2018, 1:23 AM

#

var a = moment.utc().add(1, 'minute');
setTimeout(() => {
  var b = moment.utc();
  if (b > a){
    console.log("Test");
  } else {
    console.log("fail");
  }
},61000);

#

Now shld be ok

@floral stone Seems a bit voodoo magic like

slow elk May 12, 2018, 2:38 AM

#

Alright, I have kind of a wide question/topic to talk about in discord.js.
I want to access the Audit Logs in Discord and log edited messages and more, but I don't know how to do that. I already got it logging the messages that get deleted.

#

The things I want to log are the following:

CHANNEL_CREATE
CHANNEL_DELETE
MEMBER_BAN_ADD
MEMBER_BAN_REMOVE
ROLE_CREATE
ROLE_UPDATE
ROLE_DELETE
I already got the MESSAGE_DELETE thing going on

gilded blaze May 12, 2018, 2:43 AM

#

then u listen for the events

fluid basin May 12, 2018, 2:43 AM

#

uhh

#

you could just simply use events tbh

slow elk May 12, 2018, 2:43 AM

#

I know

#

But that returns Promise rejections

gilded blaze May 12, 2018, 2:44 AM

#

what

fluid basin May 12, 2018, 2:44 AM

#

whaart

slow elk May 12, 2018, 2:44 AM

#

So I want to use the Audit Logs, because those give more info and didn't return any errors :3

gilded blaze May 12, 2018, 2:44 AM

#

well you would have to check audit logs every so often

#

and compare the arrays

slow elk May 12, 2018, 2:45 AM

#

Hmmm

#

I honestly have no clue on how to do this, because this is completely new to me on d.js

fluid basin May 12, 2018, 2:46 AM

#

tbh just use events

#

events don't give promise errors

#

that means its your code

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

slow elk May 12, 2018, 2:48 AM

#

Oh well ¯_(ツ)_/¯

yea adding that rn

receiver isn't necesarry

receiver is whoever has the packege

Which layer are you targeting?

here it is with the sender:

what's the max of a long again?

#

let me look it up

low owl May 12, 2018, 3:05 AM

#

But hold on, if you are using something like IPv4/6 packets anyways, they already contain sender, receiver, TTL, etc.

earnest phoenix May 12, 2018, 3:05 AM

#

yea

#

it's just a custom implementation to comminicate with my application

low owl May 12, 2018, 3:05 AM

#

I would not reinvent the wheel to be honest

earnest phoenix May 12, 2018, 3:05 AM

#

it's like saying, sending json data

#

then how would I communicate with my application?

low owl May 12, 2018, 3:06 AM

#

Client <-> Server? REST for example. Well, depends on what you want to do. But there are plenty of things to communicate.

earnest phoenix May 12, 2018, 3:07 AM

#

I'm talking about

low owl May 12, 2018, 3:07 AM

#

Websockets, Webhooks

earnest phoenix May 12, 2018, 3:07 AM

#

lan tcp

low owl May 12, 2018, 3:08 AM

#

Still works over the TCP stack. The IPv4 packet for example contains the information that it is a packet with content that contains more specific details.

earnest phoenix May 12, 2018, 3:08 AM

#

I'm using that instead of json

#

there's a reason to use that format instead of json in my situation

#

since the packet data may be huge, I'd have to parse the json object, then access it

#

parsing is another step

#

get it?

#

you're understanding it wrong

#

it's not actually a network packet

#

it's the content of it

#

it's just formatted

low owl May 12, 2018, 3:10 AM

#

Ah

earnest phoenix May 12, 2018, 3:10 AM

#

ye

#

😉

#

I just call them packets

#

hehe

#

like actions

#

if I used json

#

then I would have to parse it

#

and since the data property in the json would be juge

#

it would take even mor etime

elder rapids May 12, 2018, 3:13 AM

#

inb4packet payload is json in binary (bytes)

earnest phoenix May 12, 2018, 3:13 AM

#

so I just go right into the start of the data

#

yea I mean when the receiver recives the packet

#

then he needs to parse it

#

if its in json

#

why not just keep it as binary

elder rapids May 12, 2018, 3:15 AM

#

Why not just use ETF rather than making your own weird system 🤔

#

If you need other headers you can extend what ETF does then

earnest phoenix May 12, 2018, 3:15 AM

#

GWseremePeepoThink

elder rapids May 12, 2018, 3:15 AM

#

ETF is a known system for what you're kind of trying to do

earnest phoenix May 12, 2018, 3:16 AM

#

never heard of it

elder rapids May 12, 2018, 3:16 AM

#

In fact Discord supports ETF websockets

earnest phoenix May 12, 2018, 3:16 AM

#

interesting

elder rapids May 12, 2018, 3:16 AM

#

ETF is Erlang External Term Format

#

It's a binary (bytes) communication system like what you want

earnest phoenix May 12, 2018, 3:16 AM

#

shiny

#

GWfroggyPeepoDetective

#

why would I use it

elder rapids May 12, 2018, 3:17 AM

#

Because it's kind of like what you're doing

#

Might as well use something that already sort of exists or use a protocol that exists for doing said stuff

earnest phoenix May 12, 2018, 3:17 AM

#

not really

elder rapids May 12, 2018, 3:17 AM

#

Standards > Custom

earnest phoenix May 12, 2018, 3:17 AM

#

It's only for my application

elder rapids May 12, 2018, 3:18 AM

#

Personally I would use something like ETF rather than custom even if it's for personal use

earnest phoenix May 12, 2018, 3:18 AM

#

extending that would only add unnecesarry headers

low owl May 12, 2018, 3:18 AM

#

What do you mean not really

#

in 99% of the cases you don't need to write your own implementations

earnest phoenix May 12, 2018, 3:18 AM

#

I already have the perfect model for my application

#

yea remember it's only for my application

#

I won't be doing any external communication

elder rapids May 12, 2018, 3:19 AM

#

You'll add more of a headache trying to setup your own protocol implementation
