you don't need to pay extra for mysql in any vps
quasi marsh
And you can just install mysql yourself anyway
neon schooner
^
inner jewel
all of them allow you to install mysql yourself
quasi marsh
If they allow you to pay it's not for the software but them handling the install and everything
inner jewel
aka starting a docker container
buoyant oak
okay I checked DigitalOcean, but I can't find the API for python tho
floral stone
api? @buoyant oak
buoyant oak
damn this server stuff is so confusing
floral stone
you use packages to install stuff like mysql and python
buoyant oak

floral stone
it gets easier
neon schooner
a droplet is their word for vps

ahh

No problem!

I wrote a command for my bot that uses the Steam API
Apparently the issue with it was actually a steam api issue
contacted them and they pretty much told me : not our problem

lol

Ima be timing the 10 hours extra waiting time, gonna need to figure out a wait to make it so I don't need to Task.Delay for 10 hours
It's more like 1 hour but I can't see myself Task.Delay that long, the bot is gonna die if everyone uses my confirmation system
anything that makes the bot wait for 1 hour sounds like a pain
Gonna need to modify the full command
and work around the database
oak nova
Not to sound in a rush, but how long does approval usually take? (Mine was in since Thursday)
inner jewel
from 1h to 1 week

It all depends on how many bots are in the queue
and how many web mods are currently on it
sick cloud
Yeah, it just depends on when your bot was submitted, its position in the queue and how busy the moderators are ๐

hello all.. do you know const map = new Map();
"new Map();" mean? whats npm model?
trim plinth
it's a map
grizzled isle
Like key value pair
trim plinth
example: mapThing.set("thing", value)
earnest phoenix
so that the "Map" can work, do I have to input in package.json?
or new js?
earnest phoenix
ohhhh okkk, thankyou so much (:
trim plinth
np
earnest phoenix
but, Activity Log say "Map" is not defined.. :/
trim plinth
grizzled isle
@earnest phoenix if you are storing data and/or editing key/values then you should use Enmap.
trim plinth
@earnest phoenix show your code where you're using Maps 
sick cloud
use codeblocks u.u
trim plinth
yes

if (!serverQueue) return message.channel.send('There is nothing playing.');
return message.channel.send(`
__**Song queue:**__
${serverQueue.songs.map(song => `**-** ${song.title}`).join('\n')}
**Now playing:** ${serverQueue.songs[0].title}
`);```const queue = new Map();
when i skip some song, after that not playing any music again
Activity Log said "undefined"
trim plinth
yeah that's because the queue probably ended
sick cloud
Is there a way to check how many servers your in through a bot or an external API?
austere meadow
there isn't anything specifically crafted for that purpose, but the Discord OAuth2 screen (when an application is asking for access to see what guilds you are in) will show you all the guilds you're in
other than that not really
sick cloud
Are there any good guides on adding grids to your website? I'm using totally custom css, and unlike a framework it doesn't have a grid, so I'm a little stuck since I need grids ._.
mental solstice
Like a datagrid.. or like a 4x4 square to put text in
sick cloud
like a layout thing, on the left side a login form, on the right side a register form ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
50/50
mental solstice
3 divs.. 1 outer width 100%.. display inline.. 2 inner with width 50%.. display inline-block
Been a while since i mess with css.. but something like that
sick cloud
Oo okay, thanks
mental solstice
Maybe float the first inner div left, and the second right (if necessary)
sick cloud
I'll have a mess around with it, thanks though

Anyone here know how to use weebly api so my bot will update a command if the website updated. I use discord bot maker. Also how to make it show 3 latest
sick cloud
@earnest phoenix try not to post offtopic comments in channels if they aren't related to the topic or an active question ๐
abstract mango
dbm is mostly just javascript
so you could make a webhook thing compatible with weebly and a seperate api for your bot's command (that the bot command itself requests from)
i'm making it sound easy, but hey this is probably what you have to do
stray wasp
message.client.user.hasPermission("ADMINISTRATOR")
Anyone able to tell me how I can refence the bot instead of member

Anyone know why Intellisense isn't working really, I'm not getting all the possible things to be able to do with a variable like client.
young fox
I don't know if this is a stupid question but can I buy my bot Nitro? I would love him to have an animated profile picture
stray wasp
nope.
young fox
Ah dangit
stray wasp
yeah
restive silo
@stray wasp because you are in new files and pass arguments but since you only use JS and not Typescript intellisense doesn't know what types are all of these variables
tame maple
dbl.postStats(client.guilds.size, 0, 0) gives errors
const DBL = require("dblapi.js");
const dbl = new DBL(mytoken)
everything is defined
stray wasp
@restive silo sorry I don't understand.
restive silo
okay so you are not in your main file anymore where your variables are defined
intellisense doesn't know what are the types of these varaibles
since you use plain Javascript
and not a transpiler like Typescript what includes typings
stray wasp
what can I do to fix this?
restive silo
use Typescript is the only real "Fix"
stray wasp
darn't js is broken damn
restive silo
no its not broken
stray wasp
alrighty well thank you.
restive silo
but it has no type definition in it

anyone help me

Would be helpful (if not required) if you specified what you need help with in the message you express you need help in
earnest phoenix
how to create a webhook and if people mention me, bot it immediately tell
native narwhal
We won't give you code (In case that is what you wanted) besides you have not specified the language nor what you have already tried or anything else regarding the issue
tame maple
apparently the webhooks arent working

slender thistle
Did you just expose your token? Or what's that long-text thing? 
earnest phoenix
its webhook @slender thistle
native narwhal
It's the Discord webhook link thingy
slender thistle
Whoops, my bad. Sorry.
restive silo
thats still a token, you should maybe reset it
even if a webhook has no real permissions
earnest phoenix
yup
native narwhal
Was just about to say
earnest phoenix
ok thanks

Why that error is appearing?
vital lark
It can be a Discord.js problem
mental solstice
your issue isnt in that code?
vital lark
Probs not
gleaming summit
That code makes error output
mental solstice
permissionsFor.. where are u calling that
gleaming summit
I didn't called that anywhere
I cannot find it
Um
I found but ppl didn't talk me this is prob
if (message.channel.permissionsFor(message.author).has('MANAGE_GUILD')) { permissions = 2 } else { permissions = 0 }
well its telling u that, that function doesnt exist
abstract mango
yeah
gleaming summit
Is there other way to get perssions of author?
abstract mango
.has isn't a method on the permissionsFor thing, unless that's vanilla JS
mental solstice
gleaming summit
Deprecated
mental solstice
not the one above
mental solstice
might need message.member
gleaming summit
Wait a sec
I am gonna test
TypeError: Cannot read property 'hasPermission' of null
Oofs
๐ค
mental solstice
did u use author or member
gleaming summit
member
if (message.member.hasPermission('MANAGE_GUILD')) { permissions = 2 } else { permissions = 0 }
Author is not working
mental solstice
and its definitely message.. not msg? or something else
mental solstice
is message.member.permissions.has('MANAGE_GUILD') a thing?
gleaming summit
I tried
But it returns err
TypeError: Cannot read property 'permissions' of null
wait a sec
I'll check the output of permissions
It returns bit
mental solstice
debug and see if u can find it in the collection
gleaming summit
I read the docs and found 'has' will search bitfield has permission
But I cannot solve yet
mental solstice
is it a role?
just reading.. that hasPermission is a role function.. not GuildMember
gleaming summit
I found
message.member.permissions.has('MANAGE_GUILD')
This returns me boolean
west raptor
in discord.js I get any error saying permissions are to low while the Bot has administrator
mental solstice
Dream, check your hierarcy
gleaming summit
@mental solstice Thank you
mental solstice
if your bot role is below the role of whoever u may be trying to change.. you will get an error
np #$%##
gleaming summit
lel
mental solstice
:p
mental solstice
property of null.. so its saying the member is null?
gleaming summit
I think it is creating a report about ALL objects
I'll try blobking bots first
if (message.member.permissions.has('MANAGE_GUILD')) { permissions = 2 } else { permissions = 0 }
if (message.author.id === '324541397988409355') permissions = 4

const nt = {

@mental solstice Why error is appearing was I didn't blobk bot first
But I got new problem if I add more if conditions

quasi hearth
im wondering how you can determine if content is nsfw or not, since i want to add a feature to my bot that could request data that is nsfw if the user decides to request that
inner jewel
check if the channel is nsfw
quasi hearth
i mean the content. since the feature can request both non-nsfw and nsfw content
inner jewel
add a nsfw argument
quasi hearth
i don't understand
floral stone
what language
quasi hearth
discord.js
floral stone
isn't there something like channel.nsfw?
waxen spoke
I think he's asking about user content, not a channel
quasi hearth
^
waxen spoke
short answer, no theres no way to tell
mental solstice
Keywords is about the only way
waxen spoke
unless you use image recognition and language filters
quasi hearth
ok
maiden geyser
how do i add commands to my bot?
restive silo
depends on your library/framework
trim plinth
are you using async or rewrite
maiden geyser
rewrite
trim plinth
ok I'd suggest using the commands framework thing that comes with discord.py
aka using cogs
maiden geyser
how do i get discord.py tho
trim plinth
kek
maiden geyser
what?
trim plinth
you can do either python -m pip install -U discord.py[voice] for voice support or just python -m pip install -U discord.py for no voice support in a command prompt/terminal
maiden geyser
no but where do i download or find discord.py
trim plinth
that is downloading it ๐คฆ
maiden geyser
can u not give me the html
trim plinth
wdym
maiden geyser
how do i download it
trim plinth
I just told you, that is downloading it 
trim plinth
how do you not get that
maiden geyser
because i dont python -m pip install -U discord.py[voice]
trim plinth
maiden geyser
python -m pip install -U discord.py[voice]
python -m pip install -U discord.py[voice]
?
trim plinth
no why are you saying that in discord
native narwhal
I am confused
trim plinth
you run the command in a cmd prompt
native narwhal
In a command prompt
trim plinth
I said that before 
maiden geyser
'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
trim plinth
trim plinth
you dont
trim plinth
now you just open up a python file and do import discord or from discord.ext import commands if you're using the commands extension for cogs
maiden geyser
ok thank you for your time and help
ruby dust
actually both
trim plinth
personally I only did one 
maiden geyser
k
maiden geyser
i made my command on visual code but my bot is still offline
trim plinth
did you run the code
maiden geyser
how do i do that......
trim plinth
google it
vestal grail
depends on your library
trim plinth
they're using discord.py
maiden geyser
vestal grail
python <mainfile>.py
vestal grail
the command to run the bot
mental solstice
Tgm.. use terminal in VSCode
vestal grail
I have never used vscode for python
I never use python on windows
and never use vscode on linux
maiden geyser
Tasks are only available on a workspace folder.
vestal grail
not sure that you would host your bot through visual studio code
but hey, whatever you want
mental solstice
It has a built in terminal
Oh.. not sure that you would* nevermind :)
But its easier to test from the ide
earnest phoenix
so
quasi marsh
How much ram does Glitch give you?
earnest phoenix
ill check
quasi marsh
Because your guild cache is most certainly in RAM
earnest phoenix
quasi marsh
what's the ram usage of your bot currently?
earnest phoenix
uhh i dont know how to get that
quasi marsh
run an htop
earnest phoenix
?
quasi marsh
htop command
earnest phoenix
quasi marsh
lists processes
earnest phoenix
quasi marsh
Would it work if you took your bot offline and hosted it locally
I can't find anything on Glitch's ram
quasi marsh
But I can't think it's 30GB/container
maiden geyser
i have my commands but my bot is still offline and dosnt work
mental solstice
Do you have python installed?
earnest phoenix
I'm trying to run it on my pc @quasi marsh
mental solstice
Open terminal.. navigate to project directory and use the python command to run it.. idk what the commands are.. never used python
quasi marsh
I guess
earnest phoenix
ah also what's the current node version
quasi marsh
10?
earnest phoenix
i'm on 6.11.4
quasi marsh
shy verge
does node have 64bit ints yet
inner jewel
64 bit != bigint
quasi marsh
Neither does python it just converts to long implicitly
shy verge
then what is a bigint
earnest phoenix
well i have prepared : String(guild.id)
shy verge
inner jewel
arbitrary precision numbers behave fairly differently from 64bit
earnest phoenix
uhh ok
inner jewel
eg a large enough computation will freeze everything
while for 64bit it'd at most overflow
try 99999999999 pow 9999999999 with bigint
earnest phoenix
nah im good
im just installing node v8
from v6
bcz i used to use an online host
now testing on pc
trim plinth
I'd suggest v10 but that's your choice
earnest phoenix
i rarely use node on my pc
trim plinth
earnest phoenix
Oof node requesting access through shitty windows defender
uhh i just downloaded my bot file in min
quasi marsh
Also, well @earnest phoenix sharding is pretty much for receiving events
fervent oyster
@trim plinth oof well the latest version I have access to is v8
quasi marsh
Sending a message is done with the HTTP api and doesn't require sharding
trim plinth
oof
fervent oyster
@trim plinth apt-get isn't always 100% up to date
trim plinth
The last time I used apt-get it gave me node v4 
inner jewel
the rest api isn't even aware of what a shard is
quasi marsh
I wouldn't know what the problem is, but it's not sharding related I can tell you that
earnest phoenix
oof
fervent oyster
They are up to v8, but the node command doesn't like to do anything with apt-get
fervent oyster
So I had to manually install node
fervent oyster
What library are you using?
earnest phoenix
lul
fervent oyster
And sometimes jda
earnest phoenix
also on glitch @quasi marsh , while sharding: ```js
(node:5758) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error [SHARDING_READY_TIMEOUT]: Shard 0's Client took too long to become ready.
topaz fjord
i install directly from repo
quasi marsh
Wait
topaz fjord
for node
quasi marsh
You are sharding?
quasi marsh
Don't shard
quasi marsh
Yeah as I said, Glitch isn't meant for things like this
earnest phoenix
yeah
fervent oyster
I use pm2's clustering
earnest phoenix
oh well
restive silo
n-no
fervent oyster
I know, it just splits the load onto my cores
It helps with performance
For me at least
spring ember
Guru don't shard one server
fervent oyster
I would but take my advice with a grain of salt cuz Idk what the difference is between clustering and sharding
inner jewel
clustering is eg splitting work into multiple worker processes
sharding is a discord thing
waxen spoke
I'm not 100, but I'm pretty sure using pm2 clustering won't actually cluster the way you want
fervent oyster
Hmmmm
waxen spoke
are you running a bot that is clustered like that right now?
fervent oyster
Yes
waxen spoke
use htop to check the cores
fervent oyster
Mkay
Ssh to the rescue
They are all about level at 8%
@waxen spoke yeah, they are all pretty much level
quasi marsh
Because you're not running it?

What's the limit for adding reactiions>?
mental solstice
discord allows 4 per second.. i know c# lib throttles it to 1 per second
mental solstice
yeah, the response headers take 1 second? something like that, and d.net enforces that.. "preemptive rate limit"
inner jewel
response headers are in seconds
shy verge
I think you're talking about D#+
That lib hardcodes their ratelimit
D.Net caches requests and dynamically throttles them
afaik
mental solstice
Nope, ive went rounds with these guys been in the discord api d.net for a long time..
shy verge
hmmm
mental solstice
My bot was adding 3 reactions to a message and it always triggered the preemptive
They have made a push request for opting out of the premptive ratelimit
Anywho @floral stone if you use the discord endpoint for adding reactions, you can send 4 per second

me: steve

Something like that at least, I'd be awaiting messages 4 or 5 times, and putting awaitMessages inside awaitMessages inside.. la la la, its pretty spaghetti codeish ๐

cause I know rhyno's music bot has that
ruby dust
I'm trying to avoid asking there, thanks

Make your bot through a programming language. Which one to choose is up to you.
austere meadow
this is gonna be complicated but
does anyone know how to turn an array of objects into a single object that has keys that are indexed in ascending order, where the value is the original object in the array?
so say i have
[
{ yes: true, no: false },
{ yes: false, no: true, blue: "who" }
]
and i want that to be converted to
{
1: {
yes: true,
no: false
},
2: {
yes: false,
no: true,
blue: "who"
}
}

austere meadow
yeah
native narwhal
You want the array to become a map essentially?
old glade
Heyo. Can someone explain to me what is sharding and how it works ?
fluid basin
let arr = [] //add your array
let obj = {};
arr.forEach(o => {
obj[arr.indexOf(o)] = o;
});
Not too optimised but should work @austere meadow
native narwhal
Instead of using arr.indexOf(o) just declare an index value outside of the array and increment that
austere meadow
thats fine, ill give it a go, cheers for the help
austere meadow
and yeah ill do that
fluid basin
Aight
native narwhal
Way way way way way better than using indexOf
austere meadow
forEach has an index counter anyways so its good
native narwhal
Yeah
fluid basin
let arr = [] //add your array
let obj = {};
for (let i=1; i<=arr.length; i++) {
obj[i] = arr[i-1];
}
Not too sure if this works
@native narwhal @austere meadow
austere meadow
thank you so much! just one thing, i wanted the index to be a number, not a string, would i just use Number(i)? https://please.zbot.me/KP6B8MbX.png
native narwhal
It would need to start at 0 otherwise it would skip the last index
I mean it should be a number
austere meadow
it should be
native narwhal
Maybe keys can't be numbers?
austere meadow
hmm
native narwhal
Why do you need it to be a number?
austere meadow
oh you're right i think
theres definitely a better way to do this (and im looking for one tbh) but the way i am doing my items system right now is like this https://please.zbot.me/9GugSUYH.png
i have one for badge and weapon, as well as background
thats why i need a separate object for them
however i could probably split them up like exports.Backgrounds = { 
wait
im really confused
if keys can't have numbers why can i assign a number to a key here
and it's still working
spring ember
use for of and not for each or yukine will be angery
why do you need to convert it anyway?
native narwhal
The only question I have is why if you are just going to use numbers as the keys do you use a map/object containing all of them when you can just use an array?
austere meadow
you make a valid point
@spring ember because i want an easy and dynamic way to convert my badges (which are stored in an array) to this format
austere meadow
i think i was just having an object overload on the day i made this
native narwhal
But in this case it doesn't seem to be
austere meadow
well ok long story short i was really tired and i wanted to get it over and done with
ideally the numbers should be the id of the item, but they aren't
and it doesn't really matter too much
spring ember
also number is a bad idea
native narwhal
Hmmm
austere meadow
so i'll either convert it to an array or an object with the right key
spring ember
I remember putting my id as a number then printing it and it came out differently
austere meadow
i dont know which would be better but im leaning towards objects
spring ember
umm depends what do u need to do
austere meadow
objects would make it easier for me to access in the long run
so i don't need to iterate over the entire array to find an item
because the idea behind it is that all items in my bot are stored here, and if i wanted to easily look up an item for some reason, i can do it here
native narwhal
If you are going to get the items by their id often than go with a map/object
native narwhal
A map and an object works the same way in JavaScript but I have no idea how they differ internally
austere meadow
alright then
native narwhal
I think they work the same way at least
austere meadow
yeah i dont think it'd make a huge difference anyways
fluid basin
Yes keys must be strings
spring ember
object is a map
native narwhal
An object is a dictionary not map :P

Anyone who have some 15mins and who can create a bot for me with just 1 feature auto responder?
spring ember
not development related
wintry arch
๐
spring ember
there are many bots with autoresponder
native narwhal
spring ember
it's not a beginner
it's someone asking for someone to make a bot for but I edited it anyway
wintry arch
I don't know a single coding
wintry arch
๐ yea I know but they have other features too and i want just 1 feature any way I read somewhere that they( this server) creates , makes , develops bots but came to know that u only make bots for something u can get means u need something to make a free bot.
earnest phoenix
oof
this server is a place devolopers can add their bots..
kinda like advertising their bots but ye
covert roost
Primezord, try looking up a video or somthing i watched videos to help create my bot..
The programming is pretty simple if you understand how to code
One thing my friend told me was "codeing is not about memorizing its about understanding and not to just dive into bot proggamming but to understand how to use that language of code first"
Which were a problem for me...
I code with python in visual studios
And i kinda memorizad how to put in text to randomize and normal text
My commands are more if this then that :
elif
await
Its kinda simple but i dont know abkut autorelsponse bots... but i think you should try it yourself!

var mystring2 = "JavaScript discord ppl.";
document.write(mystring1 + mystring2);```
Damm got confused I should have gone to HTML first
Instead of Js
trim plinth
you should use let and const instead of var

@austere meadow How long does it take get my bot certified? I've been waiting for 2/3 weeks now ๐ฐ

Do u know whats the beat way to get an bot online?
Mines is crashing when i got him online
austere meadow
what does the error say
austere meadow
show me the console
austere meadow
do you have any idea what you're doing
austere meadow
i recommend you check out a tutorial online, or this https://discordbots.org/blog/post/getting-ready-for-bot-development
austere meadow
https://anidiots.guide is good too

is if role in member.roles: a good way to check if a member has a specific role in the server?
abstract crystal
yes

thanks

https://gyazo.com/491ad36513662c47c425f49d977e88bf [JavaScript] ok so how do I limit the seconds to only 2 or 3 decimals?
austere meadow
Math.floor() or Math.round()
if you want specific decimals still, you can use .toFixed([number of decimals]);
trim plinth
you can ask them to change it to something else
shrewd hedge
Ok thanks
ruby dust
how do you use on_member_update exactly? I don't understand the before and after parameters
uncut slate
before is the member before the update happened
after is the member after the update happened
ruby dust
I understand that, but I don't udnerstand how I can use it
lets say I wanna do something when a specific role was assigned, how would I do that?
shy verge
i assume the before and after are just simple member objects
unless roles are weird and dumb with your lib (I assume py) you can just get roles from those member objects
ruby dust
that doesn't explain much
floral stone
before.avatar_url returns the avatar of a user before while
after.avatar_url returns the new avatar after updating it
before and after are member objects
shy verge
you're trying to do something with role data, right?
just get roles from member object
floral stone
so you could do before.name, before.roles, etc
ruby dust
I know that already, but how would I do that in action? like an example code would be helpful
floral stone
and that'll return the name and roles before they changed
they are member objects, the before and after parameters. That's what you asked, what are those
ruby dust
I probably worded incorrectly, I'm just tired today
floral stone
What do you want to know exactly?
ruby dust
how would the code look like in action, pretty much
floral stone
I don't have a sample
shy verge
@bot_event
async def on_member_update(before: Member, after: Member):
if before.roles.has(something): await doStuff()
idk anything about py so go ahead and translate this into real python
floral stone
you don't need to do :Member for the params
floral stone
whatever
turbid gale
async def on_member_update(before, after):
if before.roles != after.roles:
await channel.send("Roles have updated for {}".format(after))```that's a simple example
you'd have to define the channel though

Deive is not that newbie in Discord.py. Let's hope he realises that. 
inner jewel
you split your connections to discord
old glade
.py
didn't found anything about sharding in the doc
maybe it's not supported by the lib
quasi marsh
Are you on async?
old glade
yup yup
quasi marsh
If so I recommend refactoring to rewrite
quasi marsh
And instead of discord.Client() you can use AutoShardedClient
Or AutoShardedBot for cmd extension
quasi marsh
Go to the docs and replace latest with rewrite
Tho, you'll need to refactor a lot
Since the syntax is different
But it's a lot better
shy verge
also old py is old, I wouldnt be surprised if half of it was deprecated
floral leaf
Does anyone have their bots using a queuing system for message sending?
quasi marsh
Well not implicitly, discord py will keep track of ratelimits
floral leaf
Its great so when you reach a limit it'll just wait till the limits over to send the next message
quasi marsh
Explicitly
floral leaf
Ah
quasi marsh
No it'll stop just before the limit
floral leaf
I use a custom fresh library for mine
quasi marsh
You don't want to hit the limit
floral leaf
I mean for mine
yah ik
I meant for the time
Like sending too fast
It has a throttle but I guess I only did that because I dont use a library thats pre-built
lol
floral leaf
I already do that I was just asking
quasi marsh
Keep in mind that parameters are counted
floral leaf
If anyone else is using a queue system
quasi marsh
So posting in channel x does not affect posting in channel y
floral leaf
right
floral leaf
I meant it for discussion btw.. I actually already do all that ^^

Have you added the uri in your bot application

that as well ^

what do you mean with bot application?

Nah jk. Someone had a similar issue a day or 2 ago
I wonder if its the same thing

ok, a little info... I re-apply tomorrow. My bot goes offline for problems, tons of bugs and fixing, so i decided to put it online with the [DEV] bot.
