development

[lilac owl]

ok thanks

it seems to just be the dblpy.post_server_count() that causing the problems

[abstract crystal]

(maybe can i recommend you my lib? dblapi) @lilac owl

[lilac owl]

its not the Discord library that has the problem

[abstract crystal]

@verbal night off topic, he has a problem with posting DBL stats

[lilac owl]

its the dbl library

link? @abstract crystal

[abstract crystal]

i'm gonna update the github now pip install dblapi

[lilac owl]

I mean

I just realised

its just a POST request right?

[abstract crystal]

it's https://github.com/AndyTempel/dblapi

[lilac owl]

Might as well just do it that way

[abstract crystal]

yes

it's really simple with the aiohttp lib

[lilac owl]

yeah I think i'll do it that way then

thanks for the help guys

[abstract crystal]

np

[carmine vapor]

Can u make a game bot

[solid cliff]

game bot

[verbal night]

@carmine vapor more specific please?

[carmine vapor]

Like a game

Like connect 4 or like tic tax toe

[abstract crystal]

yes you can

[verbal night]

you're pretty limited on what you can actually do though xD

[carmine vapor]

Ok

[abstract crystal]

try c4-play in #commands to see an example

[verbal night]

okay i take that back, you're not as limited as i originally thought

you just have to be incredibly creative

[abstract crystal]

^

[verbal night]

buuut you're still limited

[abstract crystal]

well you can't really create a 3rd person shooter but yes

[verbal night]

@abstract crystal I mean, you could create a top down shooter of some sort using reactions however
or a dungeon crawler, hell even via commands 🤷

you're still limited with what you're able to do with that severely however

[abstract crystal]

i think this is enough for #development xd

[earnest phoenix]

is anyone else having issues with the api? mores specifically, finding out if a user has voted?

[night imp]

I was earlier, however it was a problem with my modified module

Are you using webhooks or API requests

[mental solstice]

Some of them are depreciated.. GetVotersById, and the other one similar dont work properly

[earnest phoenix]

What u think is the best db to use for bot?

Discord.js bot

[abstract crystal]

sqlite if it's not big

[quasi forge]

u can try using json files instead of db

[abstract crystal]

just don't use json to store data

[quasi forge]

why not?

[wanton needle]

I really need help. I have an approved bot here and I need a really good person to help me with a warn, clear specific warn, and warning command for my bot

[earnest phoenix]

I mean for storing custom prefixes, commands from servers etc

[abstract crystal]

it's json, ment for storing static data in files, not dynamic

[quasi forge]

it can dood

store dynamic data

who gives a fuck about what it's meant to

[abstract crystal]

whoa why are you so agressive

[mental solstice]

Lol

[wanton needle]

Anyone know warn commands?

[mental solstice]

He takes json seriously.. ease up

Matt what do u mean?

[wanton needle]

I need a coder for a warn, clear specific warn, and show warnings command

[knotty steeple]

json for static data

[mental solstice]

@#warn @user ... User has been warned

?

[knotty steeple]

json can corrupt easily like everyone says

[abstract crystal]

^

[wanton needle]

Like ?warn @user reason

?warnings @user

?clearwarn 1

?clearwarn 2

[knotty steeple]

need a db

for that

[abstract crystal]

yup

[mental solstice]

Ofc ull need a db. Then send queries based on what u want to accomplish

[quasi forge]

lol

I am sorry if I went aggressive

I didn't mean to

[mental solstice]

Like a wild boar

[knotty steeple]

just dont be so about json

json is gud but not that good

[mental solstice]

Yeh xml better for storage

[knotty steeple]

xml 🤢

[mental solstice]

😂

[quasi forge]

lmao

[night imp]

@earnest phoenix if you are using sqlite do better-sqlite3

[quasi forge]

true tho

[night imp]

It is faster and asynchronous

[inner jewel]

ini files are better storage than xml/json

[night imp]

^

[quasi forge]

I only use MySql as a db

[night imp]

[knotty steeple]

ini

pls

[quasi forge]

lol

[inner jewel]

it's true

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[night imp]

I store my data in hastebin

[inner jewel]

you can only parse until you find the data you want

no need to parse the whole file

[night imp]

^

Json is for bots with very little data

[knotty steeple]

i use json to store my 3 keys/tokens, and prefix, and random playing messages

[mental solstice]

Id rather hard code all information, it takes longer.. but no corruption or connection issues

[inner jewel]

json is fine for config

[low owl]

I also use JSON for most tokens etc and an actual database for configuration.

[keen nest]

I think we just do a class

Like a barebones export

[wooden linden]

not using TOML

[quasi forge]

there are tons of options use anything u like

[earnest phoenix]

  if(!message.author.id === "395248246529851405") message.channel.send("You aren't my owner.");
  message.channel.send("My owner requested me to leave this server. Therefor I must leave. Bye @everyone !");
  message.guild.leave();
```would that work?

(Discord.js)

[low wasp]

no

  message.channel.send("My owner requested me to leave this server. Therefor I must leave. Bye @everyone !");
  message.guild.leave();```

add a return to stop the bot from continuting

[topaz fjord]

also

why ping *@*everyone

[low wasp]

^^

[halcyon torrent]

does it ping actually?

[frozen bough]

How can i let the bot react on his own messages
it only add reactions on my command
i'm using discord.net.

[ashen quail]

Code https://hastebin.com/masaruqama.js
Error https://hastebin.com/subijukinu.rb

[elder rapids]

Isn't it funny how sometimes you can just google the error and then it tells you a fix

[brave bolt]

need a let me google that for you bot

[elder rapids]

Hey @tidal ridge

[brave bolt]

[vital bluff]

@tidal ridge

@google help

srsly

@google search hello

@tidal ridge help

[elder rapids]

Bot's don't work here

[vital bluff]

o

[elder rapids]

Wrong place to do them anyways => testing channels

[vital bluff]

That explains

Okk

[ashen quail]

Trixter I am using glitch, so I can't do that...

[inner jewel]

you can

i've seen people do it

[earnest phoenix]

whats a dbl token?

[elder rapids]

a token

[earnest phoenix]

where can i get it?

[inner jewel]

on your bot's edit page

[ashen quail]

serving at http://2f74fab75618/:3000, http://172.17.0.81/:3000, http://127.0.0.1/:3000

My bot won't turn on

[toxic oracle]

and what are we supposed to do

we dont know your code

or error

[verbal night]

^

[knotty steeple]

um wat https://vgy.me/xlQbX8.png

how do i get the link of this

without the [""]

[inner jewel]

parse the json

and get the first element of the array

[knotty steeple]

ok

it worked thanks

still dont know how i forgot that 😄

[topaz fjord]

what the fuck

why would you run a bot and an express server in the same process

[inner jewel]

glitch

[topaz fjord]

2 seperate processes pls

[inner jewel]

https://support.glitch.com/t/project-stops-after-some-time/2205

so people using glitch abuse that by making requests to themselves once in a while

[acoustic juniper]

so i'm trying to make a music bot with ytdl-core then i heard that ytdl-core stopped working, is there a alternative to ytdl-core? btw this is my code https://hastebin.com/umewiviyoy.php

[brave bolt]

oh he's back

[inner jewel]

lavalink would be an alternative

[acoustic juniper]

i heard of lavalink i just can't figure out how to use it do you run it seperatly

[brave bolt]

yes

[acoustic juniper]

so you run the discord bot then lavalink?

[trim plinth]

@acoustic juniper you need an instance of lavalink running

[brave bolt]

lavalink should be online first

[trim plinth]

^

[brave bolt]

if you have a snazzy bot you can add nodes on the fly

[acoustic juniper]

using npm

[brave bolt]

[acoustic juniper]

something like npm install lavalink maybe

[brave bolt]

https://github.com/Frederikam/Lavalink/blob/master/README.md

[inner jewel]

lavalink is java

[topaz fjord]

if ur using discord.js use https://npmjs.com/package/discord.js-lavalink

[brave bolt]

there are language specific libs in that readme

[inner jewel]

but has an API which other languages can use

[brave bolt]

^

[elder rapids]

You can also program your own ytdl huehhueheujeheuheh

[brave bolt]

pls

[topaz fjord]

lavalink might each my ram

just a bit

a tad

[acoustic juniper]

@elder rapids how do you program your own

[trim plinth]

@elder rapids no u

[elder rapids]

But who wants to spend the time doing cipher decodes and such

[acoustic juniper]

me

[elder rapids]

Oh wait me

I made my own ytdl in c#

[trim plinth]

oh boi

[elder rapids]

It's since been abandoned

[acoustic juniper]

how do you do that?

[elder rapids]

No longer used

[acoustic juniper]

how would you code your own?

may you please teach me?

[brave bolt]

I believe rule 7b applies here

[acoustic juniper]

kinda

[raw sandal]

i mean i have a shit book i used to try to learn

im working on one but im pretty bad xD

[topaz fjord]

Lavalink.go here i come

[verbal night]

@brave bolt You could give them an idea on what to do and they could go from there xD

[brave bolt]

We already have

[acoustic juniper]

can you just direct me to somewhere i could learn or something

[verbal night]

I'm curious why in that language @topaz fjord :p

[topaz fjord]

@verbal night cus no wrapper yet

[raw sandal]

i recoomend you learn the basics through reading

[topaz fjord]

https://learnnode.com/

[raw sandal]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[topaz fjord]

^this can help

[acoustic juniper]

@topaz fjord that may not be a good idea...

[raw sandal]

heck i dont know shit either

[topaz fjord]

why

[raw sandal]

lol node

that was fun

[acoustic juniper]

because go is a developmental programming language

[topaz fjord]

and

[verbal night]

ah makes sense, also again @topaz fjord have fun trying to make a wrapper for my open source project xD

[raw sandal]

and?

[topaz fjord]

who says i cant use it

[acoustic juniper]

they haven't finished it much

[topaz fjord]

@verbal night i stuggle my way through it

[verbal night]

@topaz fjord 😛 I'm sure once you finish with a wrapper id be able to find ways to make it easier on you and others 😛

[raw sandal]

isnt that what makes programming a challenge?

[acoustic juniper]

@elder rapids where did you learn to make a alternative for ytdl

[topaz fjord]

yes

he learned the language

thats pretty much how you do anything

[elder rapids]

Learned c#

Did research

Research on ytdl and the cipher and stuff

[brave bolt]

he copied and pasted from stackoverflow

[topaz fjord]

stackoverflow is pretty good

[brave bolt]

[acoustic juniper]

lol

[elder rapids]

Actually I read a lot of ytdl core code

Then translated it to c#

Ofc learning and researching in the process

It's really that simple

[acoustic juniper]

wow thats... amazing

[verbal night]

prices

prices

prices

[elder rapids]

Why prices phone

Tf is this gay shit

[verbal night]

Indeed it is

A good developer makes use of their resources

[acoustic juniper]

yup

i love how this is a bunch of professional developers all using very unprofessional acronyms and such

[topaz fjord]

who says we need to speak proper english

are you telling me what to do

[brave bolt]

We use acronyms other developers understand

[verbal night]

I'm as far from professional as you can get

hello i would like to ask you what a professiona; is

[verbal night]

[raw sandal]

i qualify for helmet tier

[elder rapids]

I'll consider myself an average developer

I suppose earning a living off writing code makes you a pro?

[acoustic juniper]

yup

[brave bolt]

[trim plinth]

I consider my self a unprofessional developer

[raw sandal]

im heading back into it after failing badly xD

[elder rapids]

If earning money off your programming means you're a pro

I'm a pro

[earnest phoenix]

[cosmic cipher]

Hey guys, I wonder if there is any info about how to best scale up a bot. We have a small bot that now just passed 2500 servers, so we had to enable sharding. We are now wondering how bigger bots handle that. For now we can do it manually, but once you have a couple of shards then updating will become very time consuming. Is there any ansible/kubernetes/AWS deployment strategy to handle auto scaling, without coding anything from scratch?

Also, do you guys mostly use small servers (like 1, 2 shards per server), or do you get big ones with 64/128GB RAM?

[languid dragon]

are you looking for a way to automatically create new shards without needing to update the bot

or are you looking for something that automatically updates the bot, say, when you push to github

@cosmic cipher

[mental solstice]

Discord only allowed my bot on 100 servers.. lucky. Havent looked into sharing, kinda killed my motivation after i hit 200 servers my 2nd day and got rate limited

[verbal night]

o.o

[cosmic cipher]

@mental solstice How did you get rate limited? I mean why did discord care that you were on 100 servers?

[mental solstice]

Idk i emailed them and i was limited to 100 servers and i needed to look into shards

Ohh i just reread it.. they sent me a 2 part email

An end point only gets 100 servers.. and i should look into sharding

[cosmic cipher]

@languid dragon A combination of both. Deploying after a github commit wouldn't be that hard, but I'm more looking for a guide/some experiences of people who went through the process. I mean if the current rate of growing continues we should hit 5k servers in about 3 weeks. In the best case, if the bot gets really popular, you have to create new shards every other day, which means you have to restart them all. And because we're definitely not the first ones with that problem, I was curious if there already exists some kind of repo or guide how to handle that (ideally that would include a feature for starting the bot with the new shards before shutting down the old one, to reduce downtime, etc.)

[languid dragon]

well at the moment i've been working on a sharding utility but it's been purely for my bot only, however with the github automatic update thing it would be fine you'd just need to make sure your bot has safety checks and that if you update something that doesn't work, it wont break

;/ev components.app.newShard().shards.length

[cosmic cipher]

My code usually doesn't have any errors 🙃

[languid dragon]

do you develop your bot on windows?

[cosmic cipher]

I have a mac but my friend is working on windows I think

Are you planning on open sourcing your sharding utility?

[languid dragon]

im assuming your bot is on a linux machine

[cosmic cipher]

yes

[languid dragon]

yeah,

some things work on windows and/or mac but work differently on linux, i've come accross that a lot

what language/lib are you using

[cosmic cipher]

We use yamdbf which is based on discord.js

[languid dragon]

what's the differences (nvm i googled it)

[cosmic cipher]

yamdbf is basically just a wrapper around discord.js with some additional featuers (typescript + guild storage)

[languid dragon]

yeah

i may be willing to open source my bot, it's still heavily in the development stages and a lot of it isn't up to acceptable standards at the moment

so it'd be a while before i do (open source it), im still having a few issues with my own sharding utility

[cosmic cipher]

Ok. Yeah our bot isn't open source yet as well for the same reason 😛

[languid dragon]

understandable

[verbal night]

^

[cosmic cipher]

I mean for now we should be good, it was just weird to not find much information about sharding in general

[languid dragon]

yeah especially with d.js i think they want you to strictly use their sharder

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[cosmic cipher]

I still wonder if it's better to have many small VPSs or a one/a couple big ones

Well but their sharder only works on one machine

Which is not really feasable in most cases I guess?

[languid dragon]

well as long as you have good internet, having the bot on one server isn't bad

@fair grail is on a large server of it's own

[languid dragon]

but it still double posts

probably no easy way around it

[cosmic cipher]

So when you spawn a new shard, does it also restart all the other ones?

I mean it has to pretty much

Or can you change that on the fly?

[languid dragon]

testing that rn

[cosmic cipher]

The problem is that our bot tracks invites/memberAdds, so it is pretty important that the bot is not down for a long period of time. So if we have to update all shards, we would have to start the new ones before we shut off the old ones. If you can change shards on the fly that would actually be amazing because you can just add one more and update the others...

ok now it actually works properly and doesn't double post anymore

[toxic oracle]

yes

[tiny turtle]

I see bots you can subscribe to and they auto post commands daily at a specific time, how do you go about doing that?

[halcyon abyss]

save channel or channel id, and run specific function at specified time

[restive silo]

kinda run a callback of an Timeout at the given time

resolve channel by saved id and then save

[frail kestrel]

what's the syntax for setting client options in discord.js?

oh wait nvm

Does anyone know how to get the bot discrim and username in eris

[fervent steeple]

Eris doesn't have documentation?

[solemn obsidian]

yes it does?

[fervent steeple]

So why is he asking so pointless thing here?

When he can search it in documentation lmao

People dunno how to read documentation, they want only spoon feed

[prime cliff]

Same

[austere meadow]

for anyone who knows how to use sequelize, could you help me try to get a better understanding of what sequelize.sync() does?
i want to try and achieve a system where if a user is missing data from a column in a table (ie, the data in the table is null because that user hasn't had data put there) i can automatically set that user's column to the default value that i defined for that column in my model file, is this possible

[low owl]

So basically a fallback for missing data?

[austere meadow]

yeah essentially

[restive silo]

yes it is blake

so basecally

.sync() syncs your model with your database

and when you now have models with default values

you can use findOrCreate() method to find a user by id and if not present, create one with default values

i did that before using a framework

or if you have already created the user instance then there was a method to reset colums to default value

idk how that was called tho

[austere meadow]

yeah in my case the user instance already exists, its just 1 or 2 columns that are missing values and i want to set them to default

but yeah thanks for the help

what do you mean by muted tag

[low wasp]

whats your bot?

[lilac owl]

@noble fossil

[quiet bobcat]

it's muted

[lilac owl]

ah yeah ok

[low wasp]

its got the muted role

[lilac owl]

cool atleast its not my code thats broken lol

thanks

[low wasp]

your code is broken because its muted

[lilac owl]

Yeah but I mean its not my code that is causing the problem

if you see what I mean

I am about to fix the non-handling of the error

[lilac owl]

hm

👍

[low wasp]

if(message.author.bot) return;

[quiet bobcat]

^

[lilac owl]

Yeah, thanks

Who deals with muting bots?

[low wasp]

any mod

ask the one who muted it to unmute

[lilac owl]

ok

Well, can I just tag them here?

Or should I message them

[quiet bobcat]

message them imo

you can tag them aswell but it might get lost

[quasi hearth]

can we use multiple bot.on('message') things, or will this break things?

[topaz fjord]

you can

but waste of memory

[spring ember]

if you wait for one message I guess it is fine

[uncut slate]

hooking up multiple listeners could be useful if you want to do things in parallel

[topaz fjord]

@uncut slate no u

[uncut slate]

k

[inner jewel]

"waste of memory"

you'd ""waste"" a couple bytes at most

[topaz fjord]

i will waste ur memory

[lilac owl]

Is there ever a possibility that a channels ID will change?

[quasi hearth]

i doubt it

[lilac owl]

I have a test server and that seems to have happened, but I might have deleted & remade the channel a while ago, can't remember

[quasi hearth]

probably the latter

[topaz fjord]

channels ids change if u delete

and recreate

if u edit the channel it wont change id

[lilac owl]

ok I expect that is what has happened then

ty

[inner jewel]

no ids will ever change

unless someone with discord's database access wants to troll

[dreamy arrow]

hi

babes

❤

[shy verge]

@earnest phoenix ok, can you please like

[dreamy arrow]

EXPLAIN

[shy verge]

not use the github web ui to create files

[dreamy arrow]

**

[earnest phoenix]

hello

I am here

I has been tagged

[dreamy arrow]

.

[shy verge]

send a screenshot of your LOCAL bot directory

not on github, the bot files on your machine

[dreamy arrow]

yes

[earnest phoenix]

@solid cliff have I done life right?

[solid cliff]

yes

[shy verge]

close enough

[earnest phoenix]

ok

now what

do I win?

xd

[solid cliff]

donoe

yes

[dreamy arrow]

yes

yes

[earnest phoenix]

does it hide my token?

[shy verge]

now gitpull it back into your bot directory and see if git will stage your config

[earnest phoenix]

can my bot be hosted on Heroku?

[dreamy arrow]

yes

maybe

[topaz fjord]

o no

[shy verge]

yes, but it sucks

[earnest phoenix]

what
now gitpull it back into your bot directory and see if git will stage your config

[topaz fjord]

discord.js-commando

[dreamy arrow]

try Glitch.com

[shy verge]

do you know how git works at all?

[earnest phoenix]

i do not understand nerd

[dreamy arrow]

i do

[shy verge]

FUCK

[earnest phoenix]

i do not understand git

i do not understand life

[topaz fjord]

if were nerds why are u coding

[earnest phoenix]

i understand javascript

[dreamy arrow]

u got mac.window

[earnest phoenix]

i understand memes

[topaz fjord]

this is off topic

[earnest phoenix]

I got windows boi

[shy verge]

@earnest phoenix https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/learn-git-with-bitbucket-cloud

[topaz fjord]

if you want to talk about random shit move to #memes-and-media

[dreamy arrow]

he needs to download git directory on his windows

so he can git xD

[shy verge]

inb4 he doesn't even have git installed

[earnest phoenix]

@solid cliff so this will hide my token?

[solid cliff]

it will hide ur token if ur token is in config.js

[earnest phoenix]

{
"token":"bishbashbosh123-69-180"
}

that's inside the config.json

[dreamy arrow]

lol

[solid cliff]

then why js

[topaz fjord]

js !== json

[shy verge]

idfk, pull it back into your bot directory and see if git ignores your config file

[dreamy arrow]

you mean

[earnest phoenix]

realised it was a .json not a .js

quickly edits it

[dreamy arrow]

js === json

[topaz fjord]

no

[earnest phoenix]

very moist toitoise = uwu

just saying

lol

[shy verge]

????????????

pls

[earnest phoenix]

offtopic lol

[topaz fjord]

this channel is for development

it is offtopic

[dreamy arrow]

ok so are we done

[shy verge]

ok we need to know whether or not you even know what you're doing

git status

@earnest phoenix what does this do?

[earnest phoenix]

erm

it says the status of the git

[shy verge]

can you be any more specific?

[earnest phoenix]

it also reads the files of the git thingy mabobg

[shy verge]

🤦

https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/learn-git-with-bitbucket-cloud

[topaz fjord]

use that

[earnest phoenix]

it does (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed) and then a bunch of file names

[dreamy arrow]

@earnest phoenix Its easy

took me like a day

to learn "git"

[earnest phoenix]

I got 20m

k

im using https://scotch.io/tutorials/how-to-deploy-a-node-js-app-to-heroku kthxbye

[dreamy arrow]

lol

just run on pc

[inner jewel]

don't run bots in heroku/glitch

they're not made for bots

[shy verge]

then you don't need a fucking config file, just use ENV vars

[inner jewel]

and suck a lot [for bots]

[topaz fjord]

use a vps

[earnest phoenix]

im a noob k

what the frick is an ENV

is it like ENG

[topaz fjord]

also just saying

[earnest phoenix]

england is cool

[topaz fjord]

ur token is on github

[earnest phoenix]

england is my city

#meme

where is it

no it's not

[topaz fjord]

you can check commit history

[earnest phoenix]

it shouldn't be

[shy verge]

and that's ok, we just expect you to learn somewhat quickly, and not fucking spam #development

[topaz fjord]

commit history shows ur token kek

[earnest phoenix]

kek I changed it bish

like 1 hour ago

[tepid hedge]

Does anyone know how i should code to make a randomly generated response from 1-100

[restive silo]

well i would add these 100 responses in an array and then use something like Math.random() * array.length to get an random index and then acess the index of that array

👀

[tepid hedge]

thanks

[restive silo]

[meager garden]

got a ping in this channel? 🤔

[low owl]

Probably a ghost ping

[earnest phoenix]

wazaaaaa

[wet ferry]

hey @everyone
I have an object array like this:

"messages":{"407711330943107072":21,"383404775326351360":119,"382504483483025410":586,"445408817233002506":1,"444651257760710656":8,"433368385082884106":2,"419945483704729609":1,"444667571858309121":2}

Those are channel-ids and their message count. I was wondering how I could order them from highest to lowest and get their position in an array. Does any1 know how this is possible?

( I ❤ fake pings 😉 )

[elder rapids]

.sort

[wet ferry]

ik, but it doesn't work with things inside object arrays

or I can't find out how to do it.

Could you show me a snippet of code for that @elder rapids

[elder rapids]

sort() works fine you just need a custom compare function

[shy verge]

@sterile thistle RichEmbed?

[sterile thistle]

Either or

[tiny lodge]

just loop through the array and .addField for each value

[sterile thistle]

Just a embed I guess

I tried but I think I’m doing something wrong

[shy verge]

var myArray = [1, 2, 3]
var embed = new RichEmbed()
    .EmbedFormattingStuff();
myArray.forEach(b => {
    embed.addField(b, b);
});

My JS isn't that good, and you'll probably need to modify this to fit your needs

[sterile thistle]

OHH

DRFINE .EXE HAS STOPPED RESPONDING

I just did addfield

I’m stup

Stupid

[uncut slate]

if you're using raw embeds you'd myEmbed.fields.push({ name: 'x', value: 'y' }) instead of the addField call

[tiny lodge]

he's using a richembed tho

and omegalul it's .addField

camelcase

[sterile thistle]

They are both useful

[uncut slate]

[knotty steeple]

wrong channel

also

[uncut slate]

¿

[wet ferry]

@elder rapids how would I do that?

[vagrant imp]

can anyone teach me how to make my biot auto give new joiners a roleÉ

[shy verge]

in what language?

[vagrant imp]

discord.js

[shy verge]

this is just for one guild?

[vagrant imp]

yes

it is just for one server

[shy verge]

client.on("guildMemberAdd", u => {
    u.addRole("ID of the role you want to add");
});

insert that into your existing bot code

[vagrant imp]

to add a member role what would the code look like( ia m bran new to bot makeing)

[shy verge]

I directly gave you code to insert into your bot, you should be able to figure out the rest

https://anidiots.guide/

[vagrant imp]

ok à

what do i put where the guildmemberadd is. leave it or changeÉ

what is the role idÉ

[night imp]

https://anidiots.guide/

[tepid hedge]

how do i check what servers my bot has been added to if my bot was offline during that period? tag me with answer please

[floral stone]

you can't @tepid hedge

[tepid hedge]

k

[floral stone]

unless you start saving server ids to a file

[elder rapids]

Why would you want to check what servers your bot was added to while offline

[floral stone]

^

[elder rapids]

They probably kicked the bot by then tbh

[tepid hedge]

to know

if they are in bigger servers

[elder rapids]

sigh you'll eventually get to a point where you won't care

[tepid hedge]

yeah i know

[elder rapids]

As it'll just be 100 guilds a second spamming

[tepid hedge]

the moment my bot was authorized 100 notifications turned on

[shy verge]

@elder rapids are you secretly rythm dev

who tf gets 100 guild updates a second

[elder rapids]

maybe

maybe lavalink for d.net was for Rythm all along

[tepid hedge]

@shy verge join/leave messages

[shy verge]

i know

[sterile thistle]

I hate JavaScript

Stupid

I’m moving to python

[elder rapids]

Using JavaScript outside web

oh wait I'm a hypocrite for that

I use node.js

[shy verge]

don't even use 🅱ython

[elder rapids]

use 🅱#

[shy verge]

or 🅱otlin

its java

but better

[elder rapids]

or 🅱o

@steel nacelle

No wait don't use Bo

use Go

[shy verge]

apparently go is speedy boi

[elder rapids]

How can a language bully you

[sterile thistle]

Because

[elder rapids]

You're bullying yourself then

[sterile thistle]

OH HEY I FIXED IT

nevermind, everyone carry on.

this is why you use a real oo lang

this is for discord.js so what is it for python

[rain orbit]

yesteryear

idk

i do js ... not python

[mental willow]

@austere meadow How do I get my dblToken?

[solid cliff]

on ur bots edit page

[earnest phoenix]

my bot client id?

[solid cliff]

its the token when you click edit bot on https://discordbots.org/me

[austere meadow]

go to discordbots.org/api, click "My Bots" and click the bot application you want the token for

thats another way

[earnest phoenix]

API Key?

[solid cliff]

http://lolis.can-fuck.me/pGoIDWiNP3BnExjG.png

[restive silo]

@native narwhal```Java
int mb = 1024 * 1024;
long used = Runtime.getRuntime().totalMemory() - Runtime.getRuntime().freeMemory();
long usedMB = used / mb;

so i would say my bot itself uses 7 mb 👀

[native narwhal]

👀

[restive silo]

maybe i have an issue

[native narwhal]

What does the system you're on say the application is using

[restive silo]

hard to say since i build inside of IntelliJ atm but i would say 34mb

[native narwhal]

🤔

[restive silo]

7mb is only the bot itself and the rest is JVM overhaul i guess

[native narwhal]

@restive silo This is running on a bot with 1 server that has like 5 members 👀 (The only thing existent in this application is the code to start the bot)

[restive silo]

yea well its not JDA taking that much RAM as i said its the JVM overhaul around your Java application

could you eval what i sent?

[native narwhal]

Not sure why there are two Java applications I closed one of them and the bot continued running so let's say it only used 70

[topaz fjord]

@restive silo tf urs is 7 mine is 256

[low owl]

@topaz fjord @restive silo C# > Java

[native narwhal]

Ew

[amber token]

Can i get help in developing my bot here?

[night imp]

Yeah but not spoon fed

I recommend watching some youtube tutorials first or learning the language

[amber token]

Oh thanks for the big suggestion

[night imp]

https://anidiots.guide/

Here is a good resource^

[earnest phoenix]

Hello.

I am looking to add some new commands to my bot and I don’t know what to add.

Wait nvm

I know what to do.

Fix the say command.

Idk why I have the say command.

When I have embed but yeah.

When ever I use the say command the bot also says say.

For example if I say .M>say Hi.

The bot will say: say Hi.

(I used the period before M> because I didn’t want to trigger the command.

)

[austere meadow]

unrelated but how you gonna trigger the command if its in the middle of your sentence

[low owl]

Probably search for a substring of the message

I guess what he does is:
.M> is the prefix and gets stripped out of the message. But he forgets to also remove the command say.
Without sharing code I've no idea what actually happens tho.

[earnest phoenix]

Ok here is the code:

Nah too much bots have the prefix >

it’s to do with your args @earnest phoenix

so add a slice and join

How?

[quasi forge]

Just how much can a discord.js bot handle without lagging!

[earnest phoenix]

@quasi forge use eris lol

[quasi forge]

It doesn't lag

[earnest phoenix]

nah

Sorry I am not used to node.js discord.js

it’s ok

[quasi forge]

I am now going to add economy features to my bot

[earnest phoenix]

just google it

[quasi forge]

let's see if it lags then

[earnest phoenix]

lol

how many servers?

[quasi forge]

lemme check out

7

lol

I didn't advertise

[earnest phoenix]

once you reach 100 it’ll start dying probably 😂

[quasi forge]

lol

We'll see about that

I will just enter big servers and start advertising if they have advertisment channel

[earnest phoenix]

do you have music?

[quasi forge]

no

[earnest phoenix]

ok

[quasi forge]

I kept failing at it for like 19 times

[earnest phoenix]

and just add ur bot to this website

it’ll grow

[quasi forge]

which one?

[earnest phoenix]

dbl

[quasi forge]

lol

[earnest phoenix]

this server

[quasi forge]

it is here

[earnest phoenix]

I say "lol" too much

don't u think?

[earnest phoenix]

i know i do

lol

[quasi forge]

[earnest phoenix]

Oh this is development chat fucking kill myself

Planning an economy bot is so tiring

[toxic oracle]

Facebook live it @earnest phoenix

[earnest phoenix]

My bot is almost to 100 servers and it is already dead.

@toxic oracle ok

ripp

Actually.

It was at 90 servers yesterday.

[quasi forge]

ok

[amber token]

Lel

[earnest phoenix]

Now it is at 94

[quasi forge]

I am a performance freak

I keep changing it to improve performance

[earnest phoenix]

With 26k users using the bot.

[quasi forge]

ok

[earnest phoenix]

27k

Hey u are Pancake's dev!

[earnest phoenix]

I never knew my bot went up 1k in one hour.

[quasi forge]

I didn't even fucking observe!

[earnest phoenix]

well i don’t dev it anymore but i own it still xD

1k users?

@earnest phoenix

27k

[amber token]

You mostly get members if your bot is famous

[earnest phoenix]

well you said went up 1k

[amber token]

xD

[earnest phoenix]

Yeah.

From 26k

To 27k

you shouldn’t concentrate on members though

[amber token]

Know me?

[earnest phoenix]

it’s not accurate

[amber token]

IKR

[earnest phoenix]

Servers

[amber token]

I dont care my server has less then 10 people

[earnest phoenix]

What should I concentrate on?

Servers?

[amber token]

And i have more then 20 bots in it

[earnest phoenix]

just making a good bot 😂 you’ll get servers from that (but yea servers)

Well my bots development has become slow.

same lol

Before it was a team of 3 working on it.

[amber token]

Same

[earnest phoenix]

Me and 2 other of my devs.

Now it is just me.

i used to code on phone 😂

[amber token]

I had a famous bot with 2000 servers

[earnest phoenix]

I get all my errors when I code on phone.

[amber token]

But due to the new command called >R everybody quited

Cause that command did nothing xD

[earnest phoenix]

what did it do

What does >R do?

Oh ok.

oof

So why even have it?
