proper forum
earnest phoenix
I mean when you do ~mod help or something and the embeded writing you have is exactly like title text except that it isnt in blue when you look at it on mobile
proper forum
Probably because my title doesn't have a link, you can just make it linkless.
earnest phoenix
It doesnt have a link in it and it is only on mobile this happens
proper forum
Yes, that's how I did it I suppose.
earnest phoenix
I mean my embedded doesnt have any link in it at all but and it is completely normal on a pc but on mobile it is blue and emojis just come out as text
But yours does not have this problem (at least with the blue writing)
proper forum
@uncut slate maybe you have an idea?
I can point you to the source code if you wish, I really don't know how embeds in mobile work, they are completely seperate from desktop ones.
uncut slate
-mod help doesn't have any hyperlinked/blue text, not on mobile or on desktop
proper forum
Sorry for not being of help, I need to go, good luck.

Ive got another problem with my botlist command. This time its converting svg to png with node. It just crashes my bot
@anyone?
that isn't even a ping
Ik it was a joke lol
quartz kindle
whats the error?
earnest phoenix
No error. The bot doesn't run
earnest phoenix
Well its obviously not logging the error now is it
earnest phoenix
The. Code again:
I will try catch my way through the mud of errors
@night imp how
how can i put this as a side in embed

warm prairie
what database?
warm prairie
what are your options?
warm prairie
I personally like Postgres SQL
earnest phoenix
ok
wild tide
you can make an SQLite Database, JSON ones tend to go corrupt after a while
sick cloud
RethinkDB ✨
earnest phoenix
how do I make an SQLite database?
earnest phoenix
k thanks
warm prairie
SQLite has some issues with file corruption too
wild tide
JSON is worse
I mean, its really fs that ruins the JSON database, since in the long term some servers would be creating data, while fs would be saving data at the same time, meaning corruption. If you sharded though it would mostly prevent corruption
warm prairie
Postgres isn't exactly a JSON database anyway, it has JSON/JSONB support
earnest phoenix
@quartz kindle heres my try catch adventure that did literally nothing to help.
earnest phoenix
It does nothing the bot doesnt appear in its hoisted spot in my server, nothing
quartz kindle
define "nothing"
does the command prompt stay blinking/active, or does it return to idle?
earnest phoenix
I run pm2 start 12 && pm2 logs 12 it starts up and when it tries to load the the dbl command, the process kills
quartz kindle
are you sure the code you posted is the problem? try commenting it out completely, and see if it runs
earnest phoenix
Ye
quartz kindle
comment out everything and uncomment one line at a time
to see which line is killing it
earnest phoenix
Yes @cunning orchid it dies silently
No it turns out it is not that file
I may have just restarted it too many times and went over the rate limit 
cunning orchid
Should still get an error

@earnest phoenix send 
earnest phoenix
how do you check if a message was sent through dms in eris?
heady zinc
if the <Message>.channel.guild property doesn't exist
earnest phoenix
Ik: dont use eris
heady zinc
then it's dm
quartz kindle
probably channel.type
in d.js channel.type returns text, voice or dm
in eris it should be similar
heady zinc
i answered the most intuitive solution
channel.type indeed exist but it uses the raw type number from discord's api
quartz kindle
in the eris docs they have channel.type but it returns a number
earnest phoenix
so i should be able to do a if (!msg.channel.guild) return?
heady zinc
eg, channel.type === 1 means its dm
quartz kindle
so find out which number represents dm
heady zinc
ye
quartz kindle
me?
heady zinc
yes
quartz kindle
no?
heady zinc
you just ignored what i said 
heady zinc
eh
wild tide
aye
safe steppe
channel_log = ctx.message.channel.id
server_id = ctx.message.guild.id
await ctx.send(f'**{author}** set {channel_log} to mod log!')
async with self.bot.pool.acquire() as connection:
async with connection.transaction():
await connection.execute('''UPDATE uwu.serversettings SET modlogchan = $1 WHERE serverid = $2;''', (channel_log, server_id))
That doesn't add the channel id where the command was called to the database. I'm using asyncpg as the library and postgres for the database
quartz kindle
idk the database part, i dont use postgre
but where are you getting ctx from?
usually people use message as the entry point
but if channel_log and server_id are being set correctly, then idk
safe steppe
@commands.guild_only()
@commands.has_permissions(administrator=True)
@commands.cooldown(1, 5, BucketType.user)
async def modlog(self, ctx):```thats my async def
its not giving errors
quartz kindle
have you tried to console.log channel_log and server_id?
safe steppe
no
quartz kindle
try it just to make sure they are correct
safe steppe
ok
quartz kindle
if they are, then the problem is with the db command, i which case i cant help you
earnest phoenix
now im having problems sending dms
with eris
im fetching the user dmchannel
then creating a message for it
but nope
quartz kindle
is the dm targeted at the same person who used the command?
in d.js there's a shortcut for that, idk about eris
msg.author.send
earnest phoenix
i'm doing var chan = bot.getDMChannel(msg.author.id) bot.createMessage(chan, "text here")
gives me an error
TypeError [ERR_UNESCAPED_CHARACTERS]: Request path contains unescaped characters
quartz kindle
according to the docs, you dont need to create a message
Get a DM channel with a user, or create one if it does not exist
i think it already creates one
but idk
earnest phoenix
so how do it send a message through it
quartz kindle
getdmchannel().send?
earnest phoenix
.send ?
quartz kindle
oh eris doesnt have .send
quartz kindle
then if im understanding the docs correctly, it should be getdmchannel(id).createmessage(message)
earnest phoenix
i'm doing pretty much the same
var chan = bot.getDMChannel(msg.author.id)
bot.createMessage(chan,"ok")
quartz kindle
in your code, try changing bot.create to chan.create
earnest phoenix
hm
quartz kindle
also, according to the docs, its createMessage(content, file)
earnest phoenix
gives me an api error
quartz kindle
so the "ok" part in your code is wrong
earnest phoenix
thats weird
i have another command that is working
bot.createMessage(msg.channel.id, "test")
that sends a message to the channel
heady zinc
because bot.createMessage() doesn't take the same arguments
channel.createMessage() actually pass the channel to bot.createMessage()
it just acts as a middle-man to be easier to use
quartz kindle
bot.createmessage creates a message without a defined channel, so it needs to have a channel specified
earnest phoenix
var chan = bot.getDMChannel(msg.author.id) bot.createMessage("ok")
the channel is specified
quartz kindle
while channel.createmessage doesnt, because it already has a target channel
heady zinc
ye
quartz kindle
did you try chan.createmessage?
earnest phoenix
yes
heady zinc
bot.getDMChannel() returns a promise
because it requests from the api
so you have to await it
or use .then()
heady zinc
channel.createMessage() should work tho
heady zinc
ye it works
earnest phoenix
this is what i get TypeError [ERR_UNESCAPED_CHARACTERS]: Request path contains unescaped characters
quartz kindle
if you guys are interested in shortcuts, you could always setup a browser with node, such as electron or nw.js and use the chrome console to interact directly with your discord code
thats what i do xD
sick cloud
@heady zinc can i dm you for a sec
heady zinc
sure cutie
sick cloud
owo ok
heady zinc
what code do you use exactly nao 
earnest phoenix
im getting something now
Error: No content, file, or embed
btw im not trying to send message to a guild
i wanna send a msg to a user through dms
heady zinc
ye my screenshot was in dms
earnest phoenix
k
this is what i have now
var channel = bot.getDMChannel(msg.author.id) if (!channel) return
what now?
heady zinc
this isn't right
if you have access to the message, you don't need to get the dm channel
because msg.channel already is the channel
heady zinc
oh then
uncut slate
it returns a promise
heady zinc
//Either
(async() => {
let channel = await bot.getDMChannel(msg.author.id);
channel.createMessage("owo");
})();
//Or
bot.getDMChannel(msg.author.id)
.then(channel => {
channel.createMessage("owo");
});```🥄
heady zinc
it isn't spoonfeed if eris voluntarily makes it stupidly hard to send a dm
uncut slate
@heady zinc giving someone code to resolve a promise has nothing to do with eris
and yes
heady zinc
how much shards do you put in a cluster
uncut slate
6-7
heady zinc
hmmm i see
heady zinc
i mean it has a little to do with it
if it was d.js you wouldn't need to resolve the promise
i mean at least catching it is better but see what i mean
earnest phoenix
they could specify in the docs you have to do async or promise
i dont think they did
uncut slate
the docs specify that it returns a promise
earnest phoenix
let me check
heady zinc
the docs indeed specify it returns a promise, it just doesn't give any example on how to handle it like d.js
earnest phoenix
ah it says it in the bottom part
uncut slate
@heady zinc just because d.js has functionality Eris doesn't, doesn't mean you can spoon-feed people code
uncut slate
uncut slate
not relevant
heady zinc
right
do you have any link to an article explaining promises in details though
i don't have any 
uncut slate
googling "how do promises work javascript" should do
uncut slate
I'd rather Google it and learn on my own than get spoon-fed
warm prairie
Whats the issue here?
uncut slate
anyways, off topic now
wild tide
I can't get the bot to check if a member has a role on another guild. The bot is on both servers.
Here is the code I wrote:
var accepted = false
const checkguild = client.guilds.get("id-hidden-is-correct");
const acceptedRole = checkguild.roles.get("id-hidden-is-correct");
if(message.member.roles.has(acceptedRole)){
accepted = true
message.channel.send("Accepted!").catch(error => console.log);
} else if(!message.member.roles.has(acceptedRole)){
accepted = false
message.channel.send("Denied!").catch(error => console.log);
};```
lib = discord.js
It says Denied, even if you have the role every time
The command should check the author, no args or mentions for other usersmessage.member comes from the server the command is used in
wild tide
ah
sick cloud
if your checking for another guild, you'd need the member from that guild
sick cloud
guild.members.get(author.id)
bright spear
checkguild.members.get(message.author.id)
wild tide
ah thank you
bright spear
mine is more complete @sick cloud
sick cloud
yours is more 🥄 @bright spear
wild tide
lol
bright spear
¯_(ツ)_/¯
wild tide
var accepted = false
const checkguild = client.guilds.get("id-hidden-is-correct");
const acceptedRole = checkguild.roles.get("id-hidden-is-correct");
if(checkguild.members.get(message.author.id).roles.has(acceptedRole)){
accepted = true
message.channel.send("Accepted!").catch(error => console.log);
} else {
accepted = false
message.channel.send("Denied!").catch(error => console.log);
};``` still returns `Denied!`try changing has(acceptedRole) to has(acceptedRole.id)
wild tide
ok
returns error TypeError: Cannot read property 'id' of undefined
since acceptedRole already defines the id
I believe
sick cloud
const acceptedRole = checkguild.roles.get("id-hidden-is-correct");
it gets the role property
role must be undefined
wild tide
the role ID is an actual role, it should be able to be found
should I find the name of the role instead?
sick cloud
const acceptedRole = checkguild.roles.find(r => r.id === 'your id here');
if (!acceptedRole) return console.log('role not found');
Try something like this?
earnest phoenix
console.log(checkguild.roles.map(r => r.name))
see if the role you want is actually in the guild
or do the id
earnest phoenix
ok so you have the wrong id
earnest phoenix
you probably copied the message id where you sent it
wild tide
could I put a backslash in front to grab it that way?
bright spear
yes
wild tide
okey
bright spear
right clicking role mentions does nothing
earnest phoenix
console.log(checkguild.roles.find(r => r.name === 'role name').id);
hmm
ok, so I got the role ID via the backslash
however now its always returning 'Denied!' again
earnest phoenix
make sure the ids are a string
wild tide
they are
earnest phoenix
then they dont have the role?
earnest phoenix
the problem is
if(checkguild.members.get(message.author.id).roles.has(acceptedRole)){
how do I fix it?
earnest phoenix
wild tide
ah
bright spear
didnt i say change it to .id 
earnest phoenix
🥄 @bright spear 
earnest phoenix
const acceptedRole = checkguild.roles.get("id-hidden-is-correct"); //not an id
if(checkguild.members.get(message.author.id).roles.has(acceptedRole)){ //doing .has on a role object :clap:
d.js collection extends map
besides whats the point of getting a role by ID, then using the id property
if ur not checkign that the role exists after
wild tide
const checkguild = client.guilds.get("437966640332668928");
//const oldacceptedRole = checkguild.roles.get("469733141918253077");
const acceptedRole = checkguild.roles.find(r => r.id === "469733141918253077");
if (!acceptedRole) return console.log('role not found');
if(checkguild.members.get(message.author.id).roles.get(acceptedRole)){
accepted = true
message.channel.send("Accepted!").catch(error => console.log);
} else {
accepted = false
message.channel.send("Denied!").catch(error => console.log);
};```still returns Denied!
wild tide
how do I define a 'key'?
earnest phoenix
the key is the id
wild tide
ok?
earnest phoenix
ok so is the guild id/role id gonna change or is it hardcoded?
earnest phoenix
const acceptedRole = checkguild.roles.find(r => r.id === "469733141918253077"); // this is a role
if(checkguild.members.get(message.author.id).roles.has(acceptedRole)){ //.has on a ROLE, wrong
if(checkguild.members.get(message.author.id).roles.has(acceptedRole)){ //.get on a ROLE, wrong
if(checkguild.members.get(message.author.id).roles.has(acceptedRole.id)){ //wow this works
comprende?
wild tide
yep
earnest phoenix
so next time you open d.js docs and click 'Collection' on the side
and it says Collection extends Map at the top
so you go to MDN and lookup Map.get() or .has() and see that it wants the key
and in this case the key is the id
wild tide
ah
earnest phoenix
so when you give it the id, it works 🎉

I need help setting up a database
I'm thinking of this
idk how to set it up though

no man gotta have faith in the object notation
cunning orchid
my database is a series of word documents haha
but you could totally do that couldn't you word is just XML on the backend
patent tinsel
word is actually json
cunning orchid
pretty confident it's XML but I will check because I now doubt both of us

Anyone know how to edit a message? (send by the bot ofc) (js)
grizzled isle
I defined the message as "const msg = message.channel.send(message here)
Then you can say "mag.edit(new message)"
OOOR
message.channel.send(message).then(msg => msg.edit(new message))
earnest phoenix
mag?
grizzled isle
I'm on mobile but you get the idea.
grizzled isle
Code?
earnest phoenix
client.on('message', async message => {
const prefix = jsonfile.readFileSync("memory/prefix.json")[message.guild.id]
if(message == prefix + "beg") {
const msg = message.channel.send('Hmm, let me think...')
setTimeout(decideandsay, 3000);
function decideandsay() {
const randInt = Math.random()
const parsedrandInt = parseInt(randInt)
if(parsedrandInt = 1) {
msg.edit("Here, have some coin")
if(parsedrandInt = 0) {
msg.edit("Nah, screw you")
}
}
}
}
});
ignore the fact I'm basically copying dank memer
cunning orchid
put js after your three backticks to syntax highlight btw
grizzled isle
client.on("message", async message => {
const prefix = "✓"
if (message.content.startsWith(prefix + "beg") {
message.channel.send("Lemme think on that...").then(msg => {
setTimeout(() => {//Code here. Be sure to use msg.edit here}, 3000)
}
})
//note: some notation i.e. brackets and parenthesis may be incorrect due to my current state of being mobile.
how can I put the whole code in the timeout?
because if isn't expected inside the timeout thing
oh nvm

not working
ik i'm probably doing something wrong
I just don't know what
austere meadow
you should pass the new message object into the function arguments
setTimeout(decideandsay, 3000, msg);
cinder patio
are you getting an error, or is it just not doing it?
earnest phoenix
How do you make a warn command using python?
austere meadow
@earnest phoenix we can't spoonfeed you code
if you need help on a specific part in making the command we're more than happy to help
cinder patio
@earnest phoenix = changes the constant's value to the second variable's value, while == compares the 2 variables values.
and === compares their data types and values
earnest phoenix
thanks guys
its working
@austere meadow I do need help with a specific part the code
austere meadow
whats up
cinder patio
well, then show code and explain your problem
we can't do anything without seeing what you've done so far
and on which part you're stuck
Guys, do you think a bot who gives the guild admins the power to make any command (even profile commands) unavailable (in that guild) to some / all users
earnest phoenix
await client.send_message (message. channel ‘ “%s” % (args.join [3] ))
If message.content.upper () . (“?SAY”)
: args = content.split (“ ”)```
@austere meadow ^^Is that correct?
austere meadow
im not big on python unfortunately but i notice you're using the wrong quotes for strings
“ vs "
stiff urchin
‘ is wrong as well i think
slender thistle
Oh also
await client.send_message(message.channel, "%s" % (args.join[3])) if I get it correctly
You are missing a comma there, otherwords
earnest phoenix
Ok
neon swift
if keyword should be all lowercase
slender thistle
And the "indentation" is just kinda bad in your code
stiff urchin
what are you trying to do Firefreak?
slender thistle
No idea if you code would work with that indentation, either way
neon swift
Yeah, how is your IDE not lighting itself on fire

It's what ever comes out when you put \ in before the emote

so, what code do i add?

@earnest phoenix Foggy I/O doesnt go over python in general. You should learn some python first
earnest phoenix
Ok

check the playlist I linked. Bucky / TheNewBoston is pretty good

@neon swift is node widely used for discord bots?
neon swift
I don't know anything about javascript
The two most popular libs are d.js and eris, I don't think you can download them via node
stiff urchin
like two most popular libs across all programming languages or just for js?
wide ruin
@stiff urchin you want to use java to make a bot?
stiff urchin
@wide ruin absolutely not, why?
wide ruin
sorry, didnt look back in chat
neon swift
d.js is the most popular, I think one of the c# libs was next, then d.py, and then everything else, I think eris was only top 10
I can't find the source of that info anymore, I just know somebody compiled the list using discord bot list website
stiff urchin
Thank you
Really surprised that javascript is that popular for discord bots
node is a mess
neon swift
discord.js is just super easy for a simple bot
althought discord.py would be too if you already know some python
uncut slate
at this point any modern lib uses promises
and if it doesn't, there's always promisifiers you can use
stiff urchin
I didnt know that, maybe I used some old libs
I fiddled with it in late may/early june, but the majority of the libs I used didnt use promises
uncut slate
yee, typical node callback hell isn't as prominent as it used to be
async/await is slowly taking over and I dig it
stiff urchin
Cool, maybe I left it too soon
the d.js documentation looks really good as well

If you have a webapp/control panel for your bot, what do you use for that?
I have to choose between nodejs/spring/django/flask...
Currently I am planning to make it in nodejs, because it is good for webapps and I have some experience in it (but I only wrote CLI things). Spring with Java feels like a bit of overkill and RAM consumer but that'd be great to handle the huge traffic... And django/flask... I like Python, but it isn't so good in multiprocessing/doing things simultaneously. I know it is possible, but Python threads are not parallel, so I'd need load balancing with Flask...
So yeah, I need to choose 😄

@earnest phoenix Dont ask for somebody to help you out lol
Just ask your question
earnest phoenix
oh ok
umm I made a prune command after it finishes deleting messages it sends a response then deletes it in 5 seconds but if i run the command twice it causes a error after 5 seconds...
ruby dust
show your prune command code
earnest phoenix
let mss = await msg.channel.getMessages(args[0], recentID); let msgIDs = mss.map(m => m.id); await bot.deleteMessages(msg.channel.id, msgIDs).then(() => { bot.createMessage(msg.channel.id,${short.reply} ${args[0]}); });
ruby dust
put your code in this format:
```language
code
```
earnest phoenix
uhh
let mss = await msg.channel.getMessages(args[0], recentID);
let msgIDs = mss.map(m => m.id);
await bot.deleteMessages(msg.channel.id, msgIDs).then(() => {
bot.createMessage(msg.channel.id, `${short.reply} ${args[0]}`).then(done => {
setTimeout(async () => await done.delete(), 5000)
});
});```there
split lantern
well the 2nd prune will delete the frists prune finish message
split lantern
so after 5 secs the 1rst cant delete it
bitter sundial
why are you awaiting and using then at the same time
uncut slate
you don't need the setTimeout to be async either
awaiting that promise is useless
you can just setTimeout(() => done.delete(), 5000)

I asked it once a while ago but I didn't understand
what does atomic parameter mean in discord.py's .add_roles?
earnest phoenix
Does anyone know what lexical declaration cannot appear in a single-statement context means?
No
earnest phoenix
Okay, im logging this to the console and it says undefined...
if(command === "cb") {
if(premiumConfigRow.premium === "False") return message.channel.send({embed: { color: embedColourVar, title: `Chatbot | ${message.author.username}`, description: `**Sorry, Only Premium Users have access to this!**\n**[--=====[Click to Purchase Premium]=====--](${config.patreonLink})**`}}).catch(console.error);
if(premiumConfigRow.premium === "True") {
let chatbotmessage = message.content.split(/\s+/g).slice(1).join(" ");
clbot.setNick("Gamer");
clbot.create(function (err, session) {
clbot.ask(chatbotmessage, function (err, response) {
message.channel.startTyping();
setTimeout(() => {
console.log(response)
message.channel.send({embed: { color: embedColourVar, title: `Chatbot | ${message.author.username}`, description: `:speaking_head: | ${response}`}}).catch(console.error);
return message.channel.stopTyping();
}, Math.random() * (1 - 3) + 1 * 1000);
});
});
}
}
@earnest phoenix what is undefined?
response
knotty steeple
why do you have a setTimeout
earnest phoenix
For the Typing Icon
knotty steeple
typing icon?
earnest phoenix
.startTyping()
knotty steeple
you dont need setTimeout for that
earnest phoenix
It has a random stop time
I got it from Yorks Cleverbot Example. Dw
But I changed the code a bit
Seems that other bots respond with undefined with their cleverbots. Might be the cleverbot.io thats messing up
knotty steeple
earnest phoenix
have you tried logging the response
if it doesn't show anything something's wrong
Yes. Undefined
Its not the code. Other bots with cleverbot respond with undefined, the api might be down
Then why did you ask for help lol
knotty steeple
he didnt know before
earnest phoenix
I just realised when equilizer responded with undefined 😂
In that case you should probably send a message saying the api might be down or smth
Through your bot
Instead of just logging the errors
Meh, nobody uses my bot... Will just clean up the code and wait until its back online
Plus the command is for premium users only, I only have 1 Premium user atm
earnest phoenix
Lool
tiny dune
so, if i have a bot in production, and i want to keep it running while i start up another one for development/debugging, what happens? do any messages hit both the bots? does the first one get logged out? does magic happen and it will work just fine?
earnest phoenix
Pm2
And #development
Oh were in #development im stupid
I thot we were in #commands
earnest phoenix
i am about to add an npm search command to my bot... bye!
is anyone else having issues uploading their bot avatars through the dev portal?
Naw
i tried uploading mine but it gets very blurry
it didnt do that before
Hmm, take it up with discord
is there no way to go back to the old dev portal
?
Probably not
well that sucks
Theres a server where you can report buts like that
do you have an invite
Ill dm you an invite
I cant get an invite anymore. Seems as if they completely locked up invites
ah
darn
Damn you @cyan hill!

ye
is there a way i can ban certain servers from using my bot
in Eris when I editPermission(overwriteID, allow, deny, type, reason) if i want to deny multiple perms how do i write it?
digital heath
my configuration doesn't work
devout flicker
do u pass a string or file 
knotty steeple
@earnest phoenix use an array i assume
digital heath
😭
earnest phoenix
the documentation just says number
simple bramble
how can my discord.net bot ban people
knotty steeple
@earnest phoenix you have to make your own blacklist feature
if bot is in server with a specific id just make it leave
earnest phoenix
@digital heath your token is incorrect probably
knotty steeple
kinda how server blacklisting works
earnest phoenix
or your json is bad
digital heath
no my token with my bot is exaktly
knotty steeple
new JSON.parse() 
earnest phoenix
what's your json like
simple bramble
how can i make a discord.net bot ban/kick people
earnest phoenix
@digital heath also to require your config file just do var token = require("./pathtotokenfile.json").token
knotty steeple
look ath the docs
earnest phoenix
if im not mistaken
knotty steeple
no thats how
earnest phoenix
You may or may not have to include the .json format in your path
You were trying to parse the json file but that's unnecessary
earnest phoenix
What does your config file look like?
btw hide your token if you're posting the code
earnest phoenix
Lol
youe client is not Client
look at the last line
"Client.login" uppercase
not client lowercase
digital heath
What does that mean
earnest phoenix
it means you have a client variable but you're not using it to login
digital heath
how can I change that?
sullen path
Make it all lowercase I think
earnest phoenix
rename to client
sullen path
The last line
digital heath
earnest phoenix
I got spoonfed yesterday and the mods tried to kill me yet I'm spoonfeeding rn
@digital heath learn how to code before trying to make a bot pls
what am i supposed to do?
cunning orchid
Do you know which version of Discord.py you want to be using?
earnest phoenix
Google it
cunning orchid
ie rewrite or async?
earnest phoenix
how to use pip
@cunning orchid he has no idea about what those are i believe
If he can't even use pip
earnest phoenix
I'm a real noob at python yet i know how to install packages at least
my friend has been helping me and we both dont know what to do
so you're both clueless
ig
Have you tried watching tutorials
There's quite the few on python
i have but it always says no module named 'Discord'
Diascord isn't not a module
Tf
Auto correct
You have to install the discord package for python before you can use it
cunning orchid
Using something called "pip"
earnest phoenix
earnest phoenix
ok
earnest phoenix
How do I collect messages in Eris?
gilded blaze
Use the docs. All the references are there. https://abal.moe/Eris/docs/
gilded blaze
https://abal.moe/Eris/docs/TextChannel There is a getMessages method.
gilded blaze
Oh have you used Discord.js?
Eris doesn't have an explicit method to collect reactions or messages over a span of time.
As far as I know
gilded blaze
Oh. Not familiar with the command handler.
earnest phoenix
so I would just need to use getMessages?
gilded blaze
You could. There are other ways like making a system use the Message event and processing it.
earnest phoenix
how would i check the ping of my eris bot?
i tried searching the docs for something like djs client.ping but nothing
knotty steeple
iirc you get latency of shard 0
earnest phoenix
hmm
I had 0 luck making it
@knotty steeple so i just need to get the client's shard?
I get the shard of the guild
earnest phoenix
I used a ternary operator
getting both the shard 0 latency
and the guild shard
knotty steeple
guild shard 
earnest phoenix
yah
msg.channel.guild.shard.latency
can confirm its working
Nao
what
Have you tried making a msg collector in eris?
not yet
._.
im still new to eris
havent gotten used to it much
ok
is it hard?
idk
im having 0 luck making it
reading the docs it reminds me of djs
for some reason eris sometimes removes my bot status
weird
but once i restart the bot it puts the status again
bot restarting?
my uptime also randomly gets reset
havent checked that yet
but i noticed the status goes away randomly
hm
and never comes back unless i restart
What are you using to host it?
localhost node 10.4.0
oh
console shows no errors
¯_(ツ)_/¯
this is my ready event
run: (bot) => {
bot.on("ready", () => {
bot.editStatus("online", {
"name": "smth",
"type": 3
})
})
}
}
type?
yes
w
what was that again?
playing/watching/listening
oh
yea
3 is watching
i'll have to see if the bot is randomly disconnecting or smth
maybe a timeout function that logs the uptime
zenith vector
earnest phoenix
Is it possible to push all the guild members into an array of just their ID's whenever a bot joins a new guild. Then have it one by one add each user ID to a row in a database and then remove them from the list?
ruby dust
so you technically want to add guild members into a database?
earnest phoenix
Yes
ruby dust
why?
earnest phoenix
So the bot wont have to create a database when someone enters a help command
The bot sometimes returns nothing if they have not got a row in the database
this is in js btw
gilded blaze
Sounds extremely inefficient.
ruby dust
but what's the point/benefit of that for you
ruby dust
yes but well sometimes people ask that stuff just because they want to log a lot of stuff for no reason
I just wanted to know if you are one of those
ruby dust
idk js, but what you can do is loop through guild member objects and attempt to add each of their ids into a db, assuming your table is set to have unique ids so it doesn't add the ones that are already in db
ruby dust
what do you use for db?
earnest phoenix
SQLITE
earnest phoenix
He was speaking to me
devout flicker
buoyant oak
how did y'all make custom prefixes ?
quasi marsh
Store in a database
quasi marsh
Yeah
buoyant oak
huh
quasi marsh
Then when you get a new message, check msg.server:prefix
buoyant oak
where can I read about that
quasi marsh
You need to know which database you want to use and how it works
buoyant oak
im using mysql rn
Im just confused cuz
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='-')
and I'm using python
and not rewrite either
idk if that makes a difference ._.
quasi marsh
Well I would strongly recommend rewrite
It's just way better
For me it's like this Bot(command_prefix=utils.PrefixHelper.return_prefix, description=description)
knotty steeple
how would i go on making pages for my help command
quasi marsh
Which would call this funciton
class PrefixHelper:
def get_prefix(self, message):
guild_id = message.guild.id
try:
prefix = DatabaseHandler.db.get(str(guild_id) + ':prefix').decode()
except AttributeError:
prefix = SettingsLoader.config['prefix']
return prefix
async def return_prefix(bot, message):
prefixes = PrefixHelper.get_prefix(PrefixHelper, message=message)
return commands.when_mentioned_or(prefixes)(bot, message)
@knotty steeple That's a difficult question depending on lib, command structure etc
My help command autogenerates and paginates based on categories
knotty steeple
quasi marsh
categories are defined by folder name for me
knotty steeple
i just store command description, usage and name in a collection
and i use discord.js
i also store the file name and aliases

in CSS, is it possible to directly affect one div, but not another div inside the affected div? https://zblake.xyz/0wC8bbjj.gif
basically what i want to achieve is something where the background of the card is darkened, but the buttons stand out and aren't affected by the class
to {
background-color: black;
color: black;
opacity: 0.66;
}
right now the buttons are also being affected by this CSS, is there a way to negate just the buttons?
earnest phoenix
resigned
shy rose
so you want to scope the affect to parent div but not child?
austere meadow
yeah
shy rose
afik the only way to do that is apply the reverse effects to the child
cause css applys down the div tree so until something says other wise it keeps going
austere meadow
hmm
i guess i could apply a class that would reverse the effects of the one im adding but that just seems inefficient
nevermind this doesn't seem to work
even when using !important

if (!args[0]) return message.channel.send(':no_entry_sign: Error, please enter a **URL** following the command.');
let validate = await ytdl.validateURL(args[0]);
if (!validate) return message.channel.send(':no_entry_sign: Error, please input a __valid__ url following the command.');
let info = await ytdl.getInfo(args[0]);

looks right just that you can only play 1 song at a time no queue

Thats the problem rn

make a temp queue ie. var queue = {} then add songs per guild

Hey uhm like, how to make an array of strings that have a characters limit of 2000 in python?
Hoi

abstract mango
idk any builtin way to limit list length (why do you want to do this anyways) but you could probably loop through the list like for nou in list: and have a if statement if nou > 2000:
for nou in list:
if nou > 2000:
return 'no'
else:
pass
that's a code example
