development

[tardy hatch]

For owner only

[spring ember]

Read the docs

Look for the check in ext.commands

[tardy hatch]

@spring ember is okay @bot.check(is_owner)?

Or need @is_owner

Or commands.check(is_owner)

:))

[spring ember]

It is the way to do it @bot.check(is_owner)?

[tardy hatch]

Idk

[earnest phoenix]

you should open up the docs

[ruby dust]

if I'm gonna try to get a message object, how far can it go into the channel's history before it fails to find that message?

[earnest phoenix]

wdym fails?

any specific lib you're using or talking in general

[tardy hatch]

@spring ember u can help me? Don t work with any check owner

I can stop it without perms

async def is_owner(ctx):
    return ctx.author.id == 316026178463072268

@bot.command(pass_context=True)
@bot.check(is_owner)
async def stop(ctx):
    await bot.say('Shutting down..')
    await bot.logout()```

At bot check

Is not okay

And idk what is not okay

[earnest phoenix]

idk py but im pretty sure that needs to be a string

[knotty steeple]

^

[tardy hatch]

Anyone can help me?

async def is_owner(ctx):
        return ctx.author.id == 25419821441522071

@bot.command(pass_context=True)
@is_owner()
async def stop(ctx):
    await bot.say('Shutting down..')
    await bot.logout()```

I have this

And i can use stop without permission

id is one random, not my

[fierce atlas]

hey guys, i have a question about discordbots.
many bots that i see online have their stats as online or idle. while mine keeps at ???. anyone knows what the reason for this is?

[night imp]

@fierce atlas the bot has to be in this server. Was it kicked from here?

[fierce atlas]

i do not know. i am approved and all. i can even post to the discordbots site (how many servers my bot has).

perhaps its because i edited the discordbots page? who do i go to, to have my bot invited?

[night imp]

I just checked and it seems to not be in the server

You can check in modlog for the reason for the kick and ask a mod to add it back

[fierce atlas]

ty

[sinful lotus]

do someone know stuff around snekfetch here?

[fierce atlas]

ah, its this.

never had my bot dm me with "unknown command". gotta fix that issue then.

thank you @night imp

[glossy saddle]

what is the command to playing

java

[tardy hatch]

Guys

async def is_owner(ctx):
        return ctx.author.id == 25419821441522071

@bot.command(pass_context=True)
@is_owner()
async def stop(ctx):
    await bot.say('Shutting down..')
    await bot.logout()```

Okay?

At this

Is a random id

And i have access to stop the bot

Anyone can help me please

[lament meteor]

doesnt it have to be a string? not numbers

[ruby dust]

depends on the lib's version

in async yeah, but in rewrite it's int

[tardy hatch]

..

[lament meteor]

@sinful lotus uh.... read https://listen.moe/donate ```That's why we have set up a Patreon where you can show your support and in exchange earn a few nice perks! So by becoming a supporter, you'll get:

• Access to requesting songs. Let every listener know of your good taste.```

[sinful lotus]

its requesting I believe

what im just doing is getting the song.title from the webpage and I think its not related to the api stuff im doing

[lament meteor]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

never used it

[sinful lotus]

well imma try to find a way for now thanks

[earnest phoenix]

this only sends to my own server channel ;/ why doesnt it send to the local channel on guild?

[lament meteor]

you are using client.channels.find() not like message.guild.channels.find()

[earnest phoenix]

because you're retrieving the channel from client channels

I told you yesterday you might have an overlap problem

xD

What is better eris or discord.js

[prime cliff]

Oof

[slender thistle]

Python.

[weak parrot]

Oof > Eris > Discord.js

[slender thistle]

[earnest phoenix]

clearly eris

Lol

[halcyon abyss]

oof ?

[austere meadow]

clearly the best lib is mine

zdiscord

[weak parrot]

Should have been zBlakeCord

[austere meadow]

nah too long

zCord

[weak parrot]

That works too

[earnest phoenix]

message.guild.channels.find("name", settings.modLogChannel)

does not work? ;/

[austere meadow]

Which library should I pick? Eris or discord.js?
discord.js ─ more tailored towards beginners starting out with Discord bot development or programming in general, very nice and easy to follow syntax/types and it's quite powerful. Comes at the downside of being very memory hungry.
Eris ─ not as beginner friendly, designed for heavy use and abuse, very powerful and doesn't use as much memory as discord.js. If you plan to grow your bot and optimize it for the future, Eris is the way to go.
Both libraries cover the entire Discord API, and it's ultimately down to you which library you decide to use. Don't start arguments over which library is better, it's down to choice on which library they pick.

@earnest phoenix what does it return

either the channel doesn't exist in that guild or you are finding it based on the wrong thing

[earnest phoenix]

send of null means cant find channel?

right?

[austere meadow]

yeah

[earnest phoenix]

ok

[halcyon abyss]

What's that oof thing

[earnest phoenix]

thx it works

:))

[lament meteor]

Oof is discord.nou

[earnest phoenix]

i Cant figure out how to acces a json file with html.

[austere meadow]

im humbled

[earnest phoenix]

wait nvm i figured it out,

[tardy hatch]

Guys

I have a problem at permission..

How can i set only owner command?

[quiet bobcat]

server owner or you?

[tardy hatch]

Me

[quiet bobcat]

check for an id equal to you?

[tardy hatch]

Yes

[quiet bobcat]

there's your solution

[tardy hatch]

Python bot

:))

[quiet bobcat]

Look on the discord.py docs then

I don't know python

[tardy hatch]

I looked..

But

I have access to stop bot

And i setted another id

..

[tardy hatch]

Guys

For a python bot, anyone can help me?

To add only owner command?

For example add shitdown

Shutdown

[woeful wadi]

I don't use python but I get the id of who issued the command and check if it equals my id

oh wait you already got an answer

[prime cliff]

Yea that is pretty easy to do

[woven flame]

wtf

[slender thistle]

@tardy hatch You probaby need an if statement in the code for checking if ctx.author.message.id is equal to yours.

[tardy hatch]

@slender thistle

U can help me

[prime cliff]

🍿 this is

[tardy hatch]

To make code

For stop

@slender thistle man

[slender thistle]

Do you Python?

[tardy hatch]

Tep

Oh))

[prime cliff]

Constantly pinging people isnt gonma help also google can solve alot of code problems

[tardy hatch]

U don t know

Or

[slender thistle]

I do.

Just read the rules in #rules-and-info.

[tardy hatch]

Ik

But i need help, is okay this code:

[prime cliff]

You can google your question

[slender thistle]

I mean, I can help with , but spoon-feeding is disallowed.

[tardy hatch]

@bot.command(pass_context=True)
async def stop(ctx):
    await bot.say(":smiley: Shutting down..")
    await bot.logout()```

Ik

[slender thistle]

if ctx.message.author.id == 'YourIDHere'):
    # your code

[tardy hatch]

i ll add that if

At

[ruby dust]

are you on async or rewrite?

[slender thistle]

I don't remember if logout is a coroutine, but w/e.

[tardy hatch]

async def stop(ctx):
Here if
    await bot.say(":smiley: Shutting down..")
    await bot.logout()```

[slender thistle]

Async.

Can you post a code with the full if statement?

[tardy hatch]

Is okay there if?

[slender thistle]

Yes.

But also don't forget about the indentation.

[ruby dust]

@bot.command(pass_context=True)
async def stop(ctx):
    if ctx.message.author.id != 'YourID':
        return

    await bot.say(":smiley: Shutting down..")
    await bot.logout()
```there, you can stop asking now

[tardy hatch]

Thanks

Finnaly

[slender thistle]

Deive spoon-feeding.

idc

[woven flame]

wtf,help me

System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException at WebResponse response = request.GetResponse(); or string text = "";

every time

[mental solstice]

Can u show more code?

[sturdy mortar]

Someone help me code this bot

What do I need too do.

/???

[sinful lotus]

Add more features

[sturdy mortar]

?

[mental solstice]

Pick a language, get the discord api lib.. would be the first 2 steps

[sinful lotus]

theres a saying that you learn as you code

theres a lot of support for d.js as well, to point you into the right direction. But that is if you know basic js

if you don't know basic js and basically copy pasted codes then ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[shy verge]

go learn how to download/deserialize json from simple rest APIs

if you wanna make a good bot then you need to have at least some knowlege of network IO

[sturdy mortar]

I don't know how too code.

[shy verge]

then go learn too code

[sturdy mortar]

Where?

[sinful lotus]

how did you write that bot if you dont have knowledge of basic js

owo

[shy verge]

http://www.bestprogramminglanguagefor.me

Tell me what this says and I'll give you a SoloLearn link

[sturdy mortar]

Python

[shy verge]

https://www.sololearn.com/Course/Python/

[sturdy mortar]

I don't know

Thx

[uncut slate]

that's not really appropriate for picking a language for bots imo

[shy verge]

ok then

@sturdy mortar fuck everything I just said, just pick and learn a language you think looks cool

[uncut slate]

I was talking about http://www.bestprogramminglanguagefor.me/

[shy verge]

yes I know

I picked that mostly cause making a discord bot surely isn't your endgame, it's just something to chase while you learn your chosen language so you can do the real shit

[sinful lotus]

I learned js because I want to code bot tho I cant do real things yet

[shy verge]

then go learn to do real things

[toxic oracle]

https://prism.is-fi.re/458f68.png looks like im learning this

oh wait.

[shy verge]

oops

[earnest phoenix]

how do I make my bot to tweet lastest tweets?

from a specific twitter feed

[prime cliff]

You would need to use the twitter api for that good luck

[spring ember]

Webhooks

😃

That's how twittercord probably works

[uncut slate]

twittercord

[earnest phoenix]

rings buzzer What is twittercord?

[spring ember]

A bot aeth made

Google it up

[earnest phoenix]

O

[spring ember]

Tweetcord

Whoops

[uncut slate]

smh

also I don't use webhooks, twitter timeline data is currently implemented in http streams

which are worse than webhooks

[earnest phoenix]

lol

btw I want to make a looping functins that makes a task

but the actual functions that will be looped is supposed to be separate JS files

how do I loop over functions calls which includes full JS files?

[spring ember]

I think Twitter do support webhooks

[uncut slate]

they're closed beta afaik

and very restricted, not production ready imo

[spring ember]

Bummer

[ruby dust]

what's the best way to continue a loop at forbidden error when my code looks like this:

for channel in ctx.guild.text_channels:
    if discord.Forbidden:
        continue
    async for message in channel.history(limit = 500):

[floral stone]

try and except it

[inner jewel]

^

[floral stone]

pass if failed

[ruby dust]

at which parts of the code? cause I've done that like dozen times and it seemed like I was using it wrong

[desert bough]

can someone help me im trying to add 1 everytime someone does a command in a .json file and idk how

[inner jewel]

use a proper database

don't store data on json files

[floral stone]

do use the with statement

don't

use the one line flatten()

[tepid laurel]

I get this fucked up error that I dont seem to understand its with djs so if anyone could help.. This is my Class https://hastebin.com/eyewezocos.coffeescript

[desert bough]

@inner jewel not important data just adds the number 1 everytime someone does my *report command

[tepid laurel]

And heberror

The error*

[ruby dust]

oh yeah... the with statement is there...

but I actually need it to be there

async with ctx.channel.typing():

[floral stone]

I'm not talking about the channel just

@tardy hatch add reaction is missing emoji

[tardy hatch]

Lma

Lmao

[floral stone]

add_reaction(emoji)

[tardy hatch]

Emoji is 😂

Okay

And emoji

Must be

😂

Or

[floral stone]

msg.add_reaction()

rewrite, right?

[tardy hatch]

Yep

[floral stone]

msg.add_reaction(emoji)

[tardy hatch]

Okay

[ruby dust]

I've been struggling with this for over 2 days, can you just tell me the proper way of continuing in this code?

[earnest phoenix]

discord.py owner checks? like it'll check for your ID and then it'll do the command and if you dont it doesn't

[tardy hatch]

And where i set emoji =))

[floral stone]

@ruby dust give me a few hours

I'm on mobile

unless someone can

[tardy hatch]

@floral stone and i need to replace (em

(Emoji) with emoji

Or..

Ffs

[floral stone]

needs to be an emoji or hard coded emoji string

[tardy hatch]

@bot.command(pass_context=True)
async def greet(ctx):
    await bot.add_reaction(emoji)```

[floral stone]

that's not async

[tardy hatch]

At emoji

Oh

[floral stone]

that's not rewrite

i mean

[earnest phoenix]

how to add owner only permission commands

[floral stone]

remove pass_context

[tardy hatch]

Okay

I ll remove

And?

Replace emoji with ':emoji'?

[floral stone]

it's await ctx.message.add_reaction(emoji)

[tardy hatch]

And where i can set emoji

=))))))))))

[floral stone]

you need to define emoji as an emoji thingy or string

emoji = "name:id"

[tardy hatch]

@bot.command()
async def greet(ctx):
    await ctx.message.add_reaction(emoji = ":wave:")```

[floral stone]

no

[tardy hatch]

[floral stone]

emoji = :wav on new line

before it

basic defining a variable

@ruby dust remind me as well

[tardy hatch]

Without "

[ruby dust]

hmm?

[floral stone]

I'll give you a better code

[tardy hatch]

Aaaa

Ph

[ruby dust]

so you need a code again?

[floral stone]

no

did you delete it

[ruby dust]

no

[floral stone]

dm it

[tardy hatch]

@bot.command()
emoji = :wave:
async def greet(ctx):
    await ctx.message.add_reaction(emoji)```

Okay?

[floral stone]

no

[tardy hatch]

Ffs

[floral stone]

inside the function

[ruby dust]

my dms are locked, temporarily accept fr then

[floral stone]

same

[tardy hatch]

@bot.command()
async def greet(ctx):
emoji = :wave:
    await ctx.message.add_reaction(emoji)```

[floral stone]

I added you though

you forgot to indent

[ruby dust]

yeah you need to accept it, cause I'm blocking frs as well xd

[floral stone]

add ne

[tardy hatch]

@floral stone

Where need to be indent

[floral stone]

the emlji

var

[tardy hatch]

@bot.command()
var emoji = :wave:
async def greet(ctx):
    await ctx.message.add_reaction(emoji)```

Or

Lmao

I m so confused

=))))))

[ruby dust]

man you aren't being pending in friend requests

[desert bough]

could someone help me with writing things to a json file

[floral stone]

@bot.command()
async def greet(ctx):
    emoji = ":wave:"
    await ctx.message.add_reaction(emoji)```

remove var though

[uncut slate]

and make it a string

[floral stone]

^

[tardy hatch]

Okay

[prime cliff]

@desert bough You should probably include more details like which lang you are using

[desert bough]

JS

Dicsord.js

[south finch]

^

[prime cliff]

@desert bough You can google stuff like this read 2nd example https://gyandeeps.com/json-file-write/

[desert bough]

@prime cliff it was more adding a numver to a value inside the file already

[prime cliff]

Yea you can look it up on google about reading and changing json files

Should be simple enough to do in JS

[desert bough]

im a little stuck with it tho ive tried [Object]++; but it dont seem to work

[floral stone]

json[key] = json[key] + 1

[desert bough]

?

im a bit of a newb you'll have to explain it in newb terms XD

[floral stone]

get the file from json

assign the json to var json

[desert bough]

like this? const reportfile = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync("./reports.json", "utf8"));

[floral stone]

I guess

I don't use js often

you know how you get a field

or add something to the json

[desert bough]

not really

[floral stone]

I'm on mobile so I really can't help

[desert bough]

damn

[earnest phoenix]

how do I do so I can tag the channel I wanna have as a mod channel in settings+
so it looks like <command> <action> <#something>
?

without getting the channel id's like <@Numbers>

which messes up my message.guild.channels.find("name", settings.modLogChannel)

[spring ember]

do you have the channel as a channel object?

channel.mention I think will tag

[earnest phoenix]

Does someone know how i can define an enter trough code in a discord codeblock?

[acoustic juniper]

Donku to mention just inerlope Message.Author or use reply instead which will tag the last person who said anything at the begginging

[earnest phoenix]

For example :

'offline\nonline\nonline\noffline\noffline\noffline\nonline\nonline\noffline\nonline\nonline\noffline'

[spring ember]

?

[earnest phoenix]

How do i define enters in a discord codeblock?

clearly \n are all being seen as text

[knotty steeple]

enters?

[earnest phoenix]

ye

[knotty steeple]

the \n thing should work

[earnest phoenix]

clearly not ^

[spring ember]

umm weird

[knotty steeple]

thats weird

[spring ember]

send code

[elder rapids]

Unless you're escaping \n it should work fine

[earnest phoenix]

offline\nonline\nonline\noffline\noffline\noffline\nonline\nonline\noffline\nonline\nonline\noffline

Hmmm, i think i know where the issue lies

Let me revisit it

issue found and fixed.. 😃 Thanks for the help Not fixed :/

So this is the code @spring ember :

bashCommand = bash
        process = subprocess.Popen(bashCommand.split(), stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
        output, error = process.communicate()

        await ctx.send("**Output:**\n```py\n{}\n```\n**Error:**\n```py\n{}\n```".format(output, error))

Its a bit of a mess 😛

bashCommand = bash
process = subprocess.Popen(bashCommand.split(), stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
output, error = process.communicate()

    await ctx.send("**Output:**\n```py\n{}\n```\n**Error:**\n```py\n{}\n```".format(output, error))

but it outputs as :

b'              total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available\nMem:           1952         510         178          48        1263        1125\nSwap:             0           0  

and you can clearly see the \n's in the codeblock :/

[spring ember]

umm weird

[floral stone]

@earnest phoenix is that a bytes object?

[earnest phoenix]

str

[floral stone]

b'

^

What's that then

[tardy hatch]

Guys

I have a problem

[earnest phoenix]

Thats something i am not sure about yet either 😛

[tardy hatch]

Bot don t add reaction

I got this error

onbiously

[tardy hatch]

It

[floral stone]

what's the code

[tardy hatch]

How to define ctx

[earnest phoenix]

ok, gonna give it a try @floral stone

[tardy hatch]

@bot.command()
async def greet():
    emoji = ":wave:"
    await bot.say(':smile: :wave: Hello there!')
    await ctx.message.add_reaction(emoji)```

That is the code

[floral stone]

hm

[tardy hatch]

@floral stone a site where i can paste a code?

[floral stone]

hastebin.com

[earnest phoenix]

@floral stone Nope 😦 #commands

got .format(str(output), str(error))) now

[floral stone]

@earnest phoenix put the code and imports in a hastebin

be much easier to copy and use.

so I can debug it

[earnest phoenix]

@floral stone https://hastebin.com/qeneyimacu.py

[tardy hatch]

I can t upload from phone @floral stone ..

[mental solstice]

U think the .format function is doing it?

[floral stone]

pastebin then

@earnest phoenix what bash are you doing again

[earnest phoenix]

@tardy hatch Are you using latest or rewrite version?

free -m

just a simple command

[tardy hatch]

@floral stone https://pastebin.com/N33REfCK

[earnest phoenix]

You are missing @bot.command(pass_context=True) on line 16 @tardy hatch

[floral stone]

What are the imports

He said he was using rewrite...

@earnest phoenix

[earnest phoenix]

import subprocess

[tardy hatch]

@earnest phoenix idk =))

[earnest phoenix]

@tardy hatch The error is saying that you are missing context.
This is because you have @bot.command() instead of @bot.command(pass_context=True)

[tardy hatch]

One second

[earnest phoenix]

Your using the latest version.

rewrite passes context by default.

[tardy hatch]

Ffs

I don t know how bcs im a noob

Bot send message

Put

[earnest phoenix]

how what?

[tardy hatch]

Don t reacy

[earnest phoenix]

got await in front of it?

[tardy hatch]

How to rewrite passes

[spring ember]

?

[tardy hatch]

Yep

[floral stone]

output.decode("utf-8")

@earnest phoenix

[earnest phoenix]

I need to add that in the format?

[floral stone]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/606191/convert-bytes-to-a-string

yes

[earnest phoenix]

Ok, lets give that a try

[tardy hatch]

``
The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

ctx.add_reaction(emoji) don t work

[floral stone]

that's becauser you ar e using async

hold up

[tardy hatch]

What

Need to add output.decode("utf-8") ?

[floral stone]

no

thta's not for you

await bot.add_reaction(ctx.message, emotion)```

[tardy hatch]

Okay

[floral stone]

http://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client.add_reaction

Remember, you are using async.

[tardy hatch]

@floral stone thanks

And i have one more question

Is possible to make bot to react at his message

For example add an await bot.say('Like or flower')

[floral stone]

await bot.add_reaction(msg, emoji)```

@tardy hatch

[tardy hatch]

Okay

[main isle]

how can I send pm to a specific user id with discord.js?

[shy verge]

are you fetching a user or getting it out of a message?

[main isle]

what?

i have a user id

i a wanna send PM

[shy verge]

client.users.get()

that returns a user object

[main isle]

ty

i'll try

It works! TY

@uncut slate 👍

[earnest phoenix]

Anyone know a free and good host for Node.js eris?

[tawny lava]

"free" and "good" don't go together very well

if you want any good paid servers look at the pins

[verbal night]

If it's for a discord bot which i'm assuming it is, if it's a small bot running it off your PC would probably work >.>

[earnest phoenix]

Yes.

[verbal night]

can't really say anything about medium/large bots however 🤷

[earnest phoenix]

It is a small bot and I am running it on my PC.

[verbal night]

If it's not lagging or anything, don't really bother spending money on something you don't really need

[earnest phoenix]

Does discord.py has a way or function to trigger a event manually? (like the client.emit from Javascript)

[daring hollow]

when do i get my api key to post stats? (I have submitted my bot)

[halcyon torrent]

first just wait for you bot to be approved ^^

[daring hollow]

oh ok

[halcyon torrent]

(when staff will test if it has some non-basic functions)

[verbal night]

(They also make sure it doesn't break the discord TOS)

[halcyon torrent]

(yeah but it's pretty obvious )

[topaz fjord]

free + good = null

[lament meteor]

@topaz fjord is ur bot free?

[topaz fjord]

Wut

[lament meteor]

ur bot is free + good = null

[topaz fjord]

No

Servers

Free servers + good = null

[lament meteor]

ok

[low rivet]

@earnest phoenix just call await bot.on_connect() etc

[earnest phoenix]

That simple!? O_o

Damn, thanks @low rivet !

[gilded thunder]

Why doesn't this work correctly? Discord.py async

# botcheck
def botcheck(ctx):
    return ctx.message.author.bot == True

[slender thistle]

Why would you need that if you can use if x.x.author.bot: or if not x.x.author.bot:

But anyways, try with only one =.

[gilded thunder]

Invalid syntax.

[slender thistle]

Yeah, got it wrong.

[gilded thunder]

What if parse it as a variable?

[slender thistle]

Might work.

Should.

[gilded thunder]

Now it throws check errors.

[slender thistle]

[slender thistle]

Mind sending your code?

[static bramble]

Why are you doing ctx.message.author.bot instead of just ctx.bot @gilded thunder

[gilded thunder]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

@slender thistle which part?

[slender thistle]

@static bramble Because they are not using rewrite.

The whole thing, Ig.

[trim saddle]

you don't even need to do that much to make sure your bot doesn't respond to other bots

[gilded thunder]

That's the check that I'm doing.

[trim saddle]

under the on message event:
if ctx.message.author.bot:
pass

[gilded thunder]

I don't do on message.

I do async def

[slender thistle]

Under the function, then.

[gilded thunder]

For all of them?

Well.

ignore dat

[slender thistle]

Oh, btw. Don't you need to use await bot.process_commands() on on_message if you use async def?

[gilded thunder]

me being dum dum

[trim saddle]

@slender thistle ye

[gilded thunder]

@bot.command()
async def test(ctx):
    await bot.say("despacito")```

[static bramble]

when everyone is using bot and i’m still using client

[gilded thunder]

That's a command.

[trim saddle]

ewww.

you're just adding extra code to yourself

[static bramble]

eh

[slender thistle]

Then:
if not message.author.bot:
await bot.process_command()

[static bramble]

does bot support aliases for the commands tho

[slender thistle]

I don't remember the arguments, though.

[trim saddle]

@quartz dune.command(aliases=['one', 'two', 'oatmeal'])

oof.

you get the point

[earnest phoenix]

fooooooooking python

[static bramble]

wow

Maybe i’ll use bot in the future but eh..

[verbal night]

@static bramble or do your own command handler?

[static bramble]

yeah

a crappy one i need to rewrite but it’s my baby

[verbal night]

That's what i do with java 🤷

[static bramble]

i tried learning java by writing a bot, i just can’t with java libraries and philosophy of “everything has to be a class” tho

[verbal night]

ah

[static bramble]

is java worth learning for a hobbyist programmer

[earnest phoenix]

ye

[native narwhal]

I would say so but it also depends on what you're doing

Or want to be doing

[static bramble]

Mainly web backend for different projects of mine.

That’s why i tried learning java in the first place (only really tried for a few days before I decided to come back later). I already knew python so I stared writing stuff in python

[native narwhal]

I see, Java is pretty good for web backend in my opinion

[earnest phoenix]

asp.net is the one true web backend and nothing will ever surpass it

[native narwhal]

I certainly do disagree

[tame marsh]

r!ping

[quiet bobcat]

#commands

[elder rapids]

Personally I just like the regular old nodejs web backend stuff

[sturdy mortar]

Is there any coding programs for tablets?

[earnest phoenix]

research

[static bramble]

Depends on your language bruh

I use python a lot and got Pythonista, I have also found apps for Java, C++, Lua, Swift, and Ruby

[earnest phoenix]

and 95% of them are paid

[static bramble]

All of the languages i listed except for python had free ones

[earnest phoenix]

the good ones are paid

[static bramble]

Tru

[earnest phoenix]

the free ones are ugly

ive seen half of them

[static bramble]

Pythonista ftw

only $10 app i’ve ever bought

[earnest phoenix]

how do I print out time after the persons typing the command timezone?

[verbal night]

I'm pretty sure you can't get someone's timezone when it comes to discord bots, i could be wrong though

[sturdy mortar]

Can I advertise?

[verbal night]

probably not 🤷

[sturdy mortar]

Not even in #memes-and-media

[earnest phoenix]

rip, then I gotta make them have to choose timezone?

[verbal night]

@sturdy mortar

4. No self promotion / advertising including but not limited to:
   a. Server invites (providing official Discord guild invites or bot support guild invites when asked for is allowed), these can be in the guild or in DMs.
   b. YouTube/streams
   c. Begging people to use your bot

@earnest phoenix yup

[earnest phoenix]

ok

thx mate

[sturdy mortar]

I don't even know how to code my two bots i made.

[earnest phoenix]

how have you made two bots then?

[verbal night]

I was about to ask that

[earnest phoenix]

2 bot accounts

[verbal night]

....i had to re-read his message a few times first because i had to find some sense in it xD

@sturdy mortar what languages do you know?

[quiet bobcat]

Also, up there it shows ids because discord loads on demand now and it doesn't work for tags in embeds as far as I'm aware of

[sand roost]

What am I doing wrong? ```js
client.guilds.get("439866052684283905").channels.get("439874502520864769").send("Bot added to the queue" + req.params.id);

getting no message

[restive silo]

you know that you can use client.channels right 👀

[topaz fjord]

@restive silo ur weeb

[sand roost]

@restive silo oh lol

[restive silo]

@sand roost also you should catch if the Promise rejects since that could happen due a lack of permissions

[sand roost]

its a server specific bot 👀 @restive silo

[restive silo]

still

good practise

[topaz fjord]

Practise @restive silo

English

[restive silo]

could you stop

kthx

this isn't general

[topaz fjord]

Ok

[restive silo]

move to #memes-and-media or smth

[topaz fjord]

Let's take this to general

[manic salmon]

my bot at random times, even when not being used (having someone send commands, dm it, or try to interact with it in general), will send me this: `events.js:183
throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
^

Error: read ECONNRESET
at _errnoException (util.js:1024:11)
at TLSWrap.onread (net.js:615:25)
`

am i just stupid

[knotty steeple]

interaction with the bot causes that error?

if so then

[ruby dust]

it has to be a specific reason

if you show your code people might see the issue

[knotty steeple]

but that error is for connection

i think

[ruby dust]

well im not js so idk

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[trim plinth]

that usually happens when your internet connection kicks the bucket

[knotty steeple]

yea

sometimes i get this also

Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND discordapp.com discordapp.com:443
at errnoException (dns.js:53:10)
at GetAddrInfoReqWrap.onlookup [as oncomplete] (dns.js:95:26)

[elder rapids]

Because Discord

You know how many times my bot's connection gets randomly closed

[trim plinth]

that's Discord being Discord

[knotty steeple]

so @manic salmon get better internet

[trim plinth]

no

just make sure your connection doesn't break

[manic salmon]

it doesnt

[trim plinth]

or make sure your internet isn't being dumb

[elder rapids]

Discord will always break your connection

[manic salmon]

internet companys screwing me over? who ever heard of such a thing

[trim plinth]

[manic salmon]

how can i make it not do that though

[ruby dust]

you mean isp?

are you hosting on your computer?

[manic salmon]

yes

[ruby dust]

you could get yourself a vps and host there instead

[elder rapids]

Trust me ECONNRESET is because Discord

[manic salmon]

i cant find any free ones and i dont want to pay money for a side project

[ruby dust]

use skysilk, they are currently in beta testing with 100% discount, and there will also be a free plan once beta will be closed

and it's also a legit vps, not something like heroku

[trim plinth]

cough cough don't use glitch cough cough

[ruby dust]

yeah, blacklist heroku and glitch by default

[elder rapids]

Did you know about 90% of the developers here program bots as a side project (and they still pay)

[topaz fjord]

@ruby dust >beta testing

100% free

tf

[ruby dust]

yes

[uncut slate]

that sounds sketchy as fuck

[topaz fjord]

thats pretty cool

and sketchy

[ruby dust]

any plan you choose will grant you 100% discount

[uncut slate]

I wouldn't trust your bot token with a "free host"

[topaz fjord]

how get profit????

[elder rapids]

You'll end up with the guy that had 20 bots "hacked" then :^)

[ruby dust]

it's not free, it's a new vps so they are in beta testing for now

[elder rapids]

Forgot who they were lmao

[trim plinth]

that was ipad + he had a public vps

[elder rapids]

oh yeah

[topaz fjord]

ipad

wut

[trim plinth]

Public VPS !== Free Hosting

[trim plinth]

sketchy stuffos

[trim saddle]

y'all dissin heroku >:L

[trim plinth]

maybe

[knotty steeple]

i sent an application for hyperhost 👀

[trim plinth]

hyperhost

[manic salmon]

thanks

[knotty steeple]

they have a free vps section

[trim plinth]

hm

[knotty steeple]

seems sketchy tho

[topaz fjord]

Rule 1. Never trust something thats free

unless its good food

[trim saddle]

has heroku ever used your tokens?

[knotty steeple]

this is the link lel https://hyperhost.ua/en/free-vps-vds

[ruby dust]

sigh

[trim plinth]

"I'm not trusting this textbook. It was given to me by the school for free"

[knotty steeple]

xd

[elder rapids]

That site looks sketchy as fuck

[knotty steeple]

i know

[ruby dust]

and skysilk too?

[elder rapids]

Tf it's a ukraine site

[manic salmon]

why do people always shit on ukrainian and russian websites

smh

[trim plinth]

SkyPoints

[manic salmon]

they host it their so they dont get shut down

there

[topaz fjord]

I can host in U.S and not get shutdown

[ruby dust]

anyway, this is #development if anyone didn't notice

[trim plinth]

Oof

[manic salmon]

because russias law enforcement is a bottle of vodka

ok

[topaz fjord]

then abide by the laws

its that simple

[tardy hatch]

Guys

It's possible to add for example:

help nsfw or cmds nsfw

?

[shy verge]

you need a system to fetch command metadata and search by alias

like with reflection

[tardy hatch]

xd

[shy verge]

depending on your lib this may be done for you

[tardy hatch]

i want to make this on python
