The error is telling you to use Channel.Send not Channel.SendMessage
Also you need to download the ffmpeg library
@runic cloud https://www.npmjs.com/package/js-ffmpeg

no
you dont need that
you only need ffmpeg in your path or global with a Enviroment Variable set in windows
slender thistle
You have already been told what to do
runic cloud
but I do not understand
earnest phoenix
Do not expect to be spoon-fed.
Yep
If you are a beginner, have a will to learn and do not expect to be spoon-fed.
Use a course if you want help, or go to a coding server l
@runic cloud
earnest phoenix
@runic cloud The error is telling you to use Channel.Send, not Channel.SendMessage.
And next time, read the error carefully before going help pls
Too true. I did that with my bot and everyone just told me to fuck off. I worked it out myself and learnt.

in python, how would you allow ascii characters to be printed in the console? cause right now I get this instead:
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 116-123: ordinal not in range(128)
earnest phoenix
Try stack overflow or a forum maybe? I really don't know. Sorry
spring ember
@ruby dust you are trying to decode with ascii utf letters
like Χ
which is impossible
send code
if it's JSON then I faced that
like json in python
ruby dust
it's not really my fault, I just log command executions in the console, probably a server name or a user name has unicode
probably because I convert every name and id as str()
spring ember
oh yeah
mental solstice
use .encode() instead
spring ember
what version?
ruby dust
of python?
ruby dust
3.6.4
spring ember
oof I thought it was fixed in 3.x
because the default encoding in Python 3.x is utf
umm
you should do .encode('utf-8')
ruby dust
so I guess str(ctx.author.name).encode('utf-8') should work?
earnest phoenix
ok.
What with?
So basicly I am trying to add a bot.
ok
And it says bot not in discord.
This error

And I was wondering what that means.
Or what do I do.
IDK. Does your bot work? Is all the info correct. Ping an admin maybe if this isn;t the case.
My bot works.
It is being used.
Clinet ID and ifo correct?
OK
Fair
IDK then
Yes it is right.
Ping an admin
Or a mod?
Or a website admin?
IDK, I am new
@fossil oxide Help me please.

If he doesn't respond

you only need a minimum of 2 arguments passed by the user for that to work

but there is no example for vote updates with webhooks

I don't think the python lib can do that atm
novel topaz
just the server count thingy
isn't there a way to get vote updates with python without using the dbl python lib?
because python can do webhooks, I believe
and when your bot gets over a thousand upvotes per month you need to use webhooks anyways
novel topaz
well, gonna look into all of that
i've never really worked with web stuff in programming

Can't remember it fully but pretty sure it sends a post request - don't quote me - so if you listen for a post request to the path it will have the info

So I'm a little frustrated currently. https://hastebin.com/judoqemuza.vbs When a user levels up I want to add a role but when I retrieve the role from my database, id of: 462357480824111123 it returns 462357480824111100.... i have no clue why. I'm not asking for a fix but does anyone know why I'm not getting the correct value even though 462357480824111100 isn't even in my database
I can retrieve values just fine in other tables but this one. I've tried a new table, different column names, different guilds, and nothing returns correctly
For the roles
sick iron
.test is the column which stores the ID of the role.
when I message.channel.send(rowww.test); it sends the wrong value
mental solstice
Is the console.log showing the correct id?
sick iron
nope
mental solstice
Ok. It shouldnt.. Just wondering
sick iron
The value it logs and sends isn't even stored anywhere in my database so that's why I'm so confused.
mental solstice
Its stored in your db properly?
sick iron
Yes.
mental solstice
I havent used JS very much.. but it looks right. Only thing i can think, is the type conversion is taking off the last 2 numbers then converting back long.. but its unlikely
Are you using VSCode by chance?
sick iron
I am
mental solstice
Can you put a breakpoint at your sql.get statement and debug it
sick iron
yah give me a bit
sick cloud
What language/library?
if (<message>.channel.type !== 'text') return;
Add that at the top of your message event, and replace <message> with whatever your message variable is (msg, m, message..)
in DMs? π
if (message.guild) {
let mod_role = message.guild.roles.find('name', settings.modrolename);
// add any guild-needing code here..
}
// other code..
Try that, that might work.
heady zinc
i was going to say that
if you want to check for dms, you just have to check if the guild property exist
if it doesn't, then it's a dm
sick cloud
uhh
Your setup confuses me to say the least, dunno why that isn't working..
Restrict owner commands to ID? >.>

I'm having some issues with canvas.. I have this code:
const canvas = Canvas.createCanvas(700, 250);
const ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
const background = await Canvas.loadImage('./background.png');
ctx.drawImage(background, 0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
// avatar
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.arc(145, 125, 100, 0, Math.PI * 2, true);
ctx.closePath();
ctx.clip();
const { body: buffer } = await snekfetch.get(i.user.displayAvatarURL);
const avatar = await Canvas.loadImage(buffer);
ctx.drawImage(avatar, 45, 25, 200, 200);
// text
ctx.font = '55px sans-serif';
ctx.fillStyle = '#BE3EFA';
ctx.fillText(i.user.tag, canvas.width / 2.5, canvas.height / 1.8);
const welcome = new Attachment(canvas.toBuffer(), 'welcome-image.png');
client.channels.get('462311344558047232').send(`**${i.user.username}** has joined us! :wave:`, welcome);
However, when a user joins.. it only shows their avatar, no username/text; am I doing something wrong here?

Is tag the correct function for getting usernames?

What is a good editor for editing on sftp? plz tag

how is sftp related to editors @onyx summit

Download the file I want to edit, open with editor, save it, upload it again
I know there are editors that do that itself
@spring ember

you probably mean ssh
writing code over SSH isn't exactly a good idea, the latency is going to be noticeable
ideal setup would be using git

I don't think github has private repos at all without a plan

enable directory listing for that folder, get the raw HTML by accessing it (just the folder, not any images), scrape the HTML for links, check to see if the filenames in the links have a hyphen, then use the links that do in your requests. You need to get each file one at a time
I'm not sure I explained that well

What does enabling rich presence on my bot do? I know what it does typically but im confused how it works with a bot?
inner jewel
bots can't have rich presence
when you enable it, you enable for the application
applications can have both rich presence and bots attached to them
normal perch
okay.... So your application would be linked to a program/game? I still dont see how they are related.
inner jewel
https://discordapp.com/developers/applications/me
that page lists your applications
for all applications, you can create a bot user and enable rich presence
when you enable rich presence, you can create RP with icons from that application (even if you don't use any icons you need an application with RP enabled)
normal perch
so oh so the code attached to the game is using the app as a connection to discord?

in discord4j, is it possible to know if the bot joins a guild for the first time? Im thinking about UserJoinEvent but i dont know how to check my bots user id. any thoughts?

GuildCreateEvent
tiny dune
Ahhh. So does this fire for every guild that the bot is in after connected to the gateway?

GuildCreate Event fires whenever the bot joins a new server

Hey folks, I was wondering where people actually host their bots, regardless of what language it's written in, are folks just spinning up VMs on random cloud providers?

@tiny dune
i set mine up on a vps
if you want to find some vps's there is a pin in this channel
keen copper
ahh fantastic
tiny dune
Ahh ok thanks
keen copper
Any chance you could tell me a bit about your deploy process? When you're ready to ship a new version of your bot do you just SSH in, pull down your code and run it?
quasi marsh
Me I just SCP the code over from local and reload from the bot

Cool cool, you have a similar setup, just a random VPS?

Dunno, my other bots are running on the same server perfectly.

I has some issues with that error when i has my βbadβ internet
austere meadow
first of all iβd recommend updating to master if it wouldnβt be too much work for you
and secondly have you got an event listener for client.on(βerrorβ...?
voice connections on stable are really janky
sick cloud
I don't have an error listener, should I add one?
And I know about that, going to be working on updating all my bots to master soon.
austere meadow
i think you should to see if that will catch the error
sick cloud
client.on('error', (err) => { log('error', err); });
something like that?
austere meadow
yeah that should work
sick cloud
(log is my custom function)
alright
wot, adding the error thing made it login

everyone role ID is server ID
slender thistle
That way the mention doesn't work

no

<@&id>

yeah
inner jewel
<#id> is channel mention
compact haven
well what's the server id of the place you're trying to ping
earnest phoenix
i did $eval message.channel.send("<@&326237705828564993>")

I got the same output
earnest phoenix
and i get
compact haven
@@everyone 
inner jewel
<@&id> doesn't mention
earnest phoenix
so what does?

a literal @ everyone
ruby dust
if the role is set to not mentionable in server settings, then it won't mention

In JS, there is a parameter disableEveryone, isn't there?

How i get a list of channels
sick cloud
If you run a command that has incorrect args, and it reacts with an π emoji to your message, how do you make the bot show a message with the info if the user reacts?
topaz fjord
i would personally tell the user they did the command wrong
but no it wouldnt count afaik
inner jewel
i'd have a listener (preferably a global one with a map of message id -> reaction handler) to listen for reactions on that message
if user adds that one you send the info message
sick cloud
Sounds pretty complicated, eek. alright though
earnest phoenix
does anyone know how to change bot's status type to watching in discord.py
austere meadow
if i'm sharding, should i open one database connection for each shard, or just one database connection across all shards?
tidal parrot
One database connection means no concurrency for database queries. You need multiple connections if you're going to be querying a database a lot.
It's best to use connection pooling for that (either a global pool shared by all shards, or a separate connection pool for each shard) which keeps connections open allowing you to reuse them without opening a new connection every time.
tidal parrot
But that depends on the time it takes for a query to execute
shy rose
true but pooling removes that issue
removes/lightens
can still bottle neck its jsut harder
tidal parrot
Not really, it just means you can support A LOT more
inner jewel
also you should take care when pooling with a high number of connections
if the DB has per-connection resources allocated
too many connections = memory wasted
austere meadow
i'd say i query the database at a medium level, i query the database if the user doesn't exist when i need it, and then cache that user
i am noticing a few deadlocks here and there however
tidal parrot
What DB are you using?
austere meadow
@tidal parrot so sorry for the late reply i went out for a bit, im using postgres
sick cloud
Are there any good websites out there for bot documentation? (Apart from GitBook, I can't use it x.x)
tidal parrot
What are you doing to get deadlocks on postgres with a single connection
Afaik postgres is row level locking
And even then with a single connection that's impossible
I think
austere meadow
i dont even really know
it happens about once every one or two hours, im not really sure what's causing it though
i do query the database on (nearly) every message event for the user's settings (for stuff like adding experience, adding currency, etc.) but i cache the user after doing that so im not sure why i'd be getting deadlocks

var rpts = ["SΓ", "No", "ΒΏPor quΓ©?", "Por favor", "Tal vez", "No sΓ©", "Definitivamente?", " Β‘Claro! "," SΓ "," No "," Por supuesto! "," Por supuesto que no "];
if (!args) return message.reply(`Escriba una pregunta.`);
message.channel.reply(message.member.user+' a su pregunta `'+args+'` mi respuesta es: `'+ rpts[Math.floor(Math.random() * rpts.length)]+'`');
}
});
bot.login('*')
As you can see that's an "8ball"
So when i put ,.8ball and the question. Nothing appears
When i type ,.8ball only. It says "Write a question"
quartz kindle
your 8ball command wont get triggered if you write anything
if (message.content == ',.8ball') is only triggered if the content of the entire message is ,.8ball
if you write anything else, the message.content no longer passes that if
quartz kindle
yes

idk if message.startsWith works, but message.content.startsWith

It's using discord.py

what do you mean you use client.command? @wintry bobcat
can you show us an example?

oh rip
if you are actually importing client (which you shouldn't) you should always import discord.ext.commands and from there add decorator @commands.command()

It won't insert to the database, send to the channel or update the activity. Like it never fires.
