@sick cloud - is there a reason my bot would be approved but not in the channel?
earnest phoenix
simple question how do i get my bot username and tag using eris
i gave a quick look over the docs but didnt find it
im either blind or its well hidden
bot.user is a User. that has username, discriminator, avatar, etc
so
bot.user.username ?
anything a User has https://abal.moe/Eris/docs/User

Hello
My bot got muted because it responded to another bot
I have fixed this issue in its code
Could I get it unmuted please?
median olive
ah, looks like my bot was kicked due to DMs on guild join. That functionality has been removed, is there a way to get the bot re-added?
deep pebble
Thanks @sick cloud

do i need to change anything here in order for the webhook to post in a specific channel? or would that go on the DBL Bot Edit section?
sick cloud
looks like thats posting into a database?

okay also Is this correct?

You have to communicate with the bot to send the message.

No

oh

btw i won't buy nitro
heady zinc
no, how it should be is that you should have an option to pay nitro for a bot account

that's the best way for discord to make MOAR MONEY

it costs nothing
haha

i mean no

i live in Russia

yes but per bot account
heady zinc
or fix their broken api
earnest phoenix
you dont even get to use it
heady zinc
whatever's broken in their shit
earnest phoenix
discords gay ass crashes
heady zinc
if paying 5$/month per bot reduce discord's ridiculous amount of crashes by even 1%
i'd pay

# modlog

async def on_message_delete(message):
if logdb.contains(Users.server == ctx.message.server.id):
```
This is my current code using TinyDB and Discord.py, how can I get the channel ID and store it as a variable?It already checks for the server if it's been allowed to modlog but I don't know how to get it to read my channel var.
This is the DB layout.
[{'server': '264445053596991498', 'channel': '265156361791209475', 'log': True}]```
quartz kindle
get the channel from the database?
quartz kindle
idk how tinydb works, but in rdbs such as mysql you need to extract the column from the row, for example (pseudocode) GET channel WERE server === server.id
gilded thunder
Okay, I'll try that logic then.
quartz kindle
if Users is your db table
gilded thunder
It's logdb, Users is to query it
quartz kindle
then you need to get channel from the row where Users.server == server.id
quartz kindle
ah i see, but you need to check what's the proper syntax for tinydb
quartz kindle
i took a look at the docs, it seems its a json database, then your approach should work. the database returns the entire row
then you get the channel from the row, just like you would get any property from an object
gilded thunder
yeah, doing db.search returns the whole line

Hi, I maked image generation command but I have to set a timer before the image send, 2s work fine but when the bot is very used, these 2s are too low and i have to set it around 7-8s but it's too long.
If I just set a delay it's because without it, on big images, it will try to send the image before it's generated.
I've tried to use an : await message.channel.send but it just don't change anything
if someone can help me, it will be very nice
using Jimp in node js if i'ts important
hearty talon
https://hastebin.com/ponipifena.js
anyone know why this returns the message it does in the comment i showed? i cant really find out why
earnest phoenix
gRole is undefined because it cant find a role with the name, probably because it doesnt exist/you are using .find with the wrong name.
console.log(role) and see what it is when you use the command "correctly"
hearty talon
okie
earnest phoenix
Also , if the usage is "Usage: !addrole <user> <role>", the role name would be args[1], right? So why are you doing:
let role = args.join(" ").slice(22);
That magic number 22 is probably where you issue stems from.
earnest phoenix
yeah and it makes no sense, use args[1] and just print the role variable to see what it is.
earnest phoenix
did you switch to using args[1]?
earnest phoenix

uh what is wrong with that plz ?
var i = false ;
while (i == true) {
try {
const copie = new Discord.Attachment(file);
message.channel.send(copie)
i = false;
} catch(e) {
console.log("One error, retrying")
}
}
The image file take time to be created so, I tried that but il stay on the catch to infinite even if the file is ready (and then ,it have to work with the try)
shy flicker
why are you doing .then.then instead of .then ??
remote badge
no it's not a .then.then just have that :
Promise.all(jimps).then(function (data) { return Promise.all(jimps); }).then(function (data) {
data[1].resize(155, 155)
Jimp.loadFont(Jimp.FONT_SANS_16_BLACK).then(function (font) {
data[0].composite(data[1], 25, 70)
.print(font, 55, 235, toto)
.write(wanteduser);
I tried something else but the loop and the catch won't work, this is all the code :
if (msg == ("WANTED")) {
var wanteduser = sender.username + ".png"
var imagesT = ['./images/Base/petit.png', sender.displayAvatarURL], jimps = [], mise = Math.floor((Math.random() * 1000000000)).toLocaleString(), toto = mise + " $"
for (var i = 0; i < imagesT.length; i++) jimps.push(jimp.read(imagesT[i]))
Promise.all(jimps).then(function (data) { return Promise.all(jimps); }).then(function (data) {
data[1].resize(155, 155)
Jimp.loadFont(Jimp.FONT_SANS_16_BLACK).then(function (font) {
data[0].composite(data[1], 25, 70)
.print(font, 55, 235, toto)
.write(wanteduser);
})
})
var compt = false;
while (compt != true) {
try {
const copie = new Discord.Attachment(wanteduser);
message.channel.send(copie);
compt = true;
} catch(e) { console.log("erreur") }
}
} ```In the catch, I can say it to just write "erreur" in the console but it will not do it, it will just that it don't find the file (that is created around 2s after the error) and it will stop there, the loop will not restart
earnest phoenix
how do i make a say command can i get some help
remote badge
The aim of the loop and the try catch is for wait for the image generation, I've tried use await but don't have results too (maybe because I don't know how to use it in my case but i've put an await at the const copie = await Discord.attachment....
and an await message.channel.send but it wont't worked
earnest phoenix
my bot is in javascript
earnest phoenix
i think this is my 1st time doing js
i mosty watched youtube vids on how to do this but i cant find how to make a say command

just said you what you have to do atomic, read what ive said
split it by space, slice it and join it by space
you do that to the message.content

I'm trying to update my bot's server_count, but I'm getting this error:
aiohttp.errors.ClientOSError: [Errno 101] Cannot connect to host discordbots.org:443 ssl:True [Can not connect to discordbots.org:443 [Network is unreachable]]
I'm using discord.py
Anyone know what might be up?
Relevant code snippet:
import aiohttp

with io.open("tokens/lmao-dbl.txt", "r") as token:
dbl_token = (token.read())[:-1]
dbl_url = "https://discordbots.org/api/bots/459432854821142529/stats"

async def on_ready():
payload = {"server_count" : len(bot.servers)}
async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as aioclient:
await aioclient.post(dbl_url, data=payload, headers=dbl_headers)
Never mind, I fixed it by adding dbl_connector = aiohttp.TCPConnector(family=socket.AF_INET,verify_ssl=False) and adding the kwarg connector=dbl_connector to aiohttp.ClientSession()

How would i pin a message with discord.js
I've looked at the docs but can't get it to work

@glossy talon You’ll get better information at #topgg-api but it involves webhooks

@earnest phoenix What error are you getting?

Use the pin method of a message object

@earnest phoenix you shouldn't start with bots, learn some basic node.js first.

Is commando necessary for making a DB connection to sqlite? Or in other words does it make working with a DB easier? If not what other tools can I use with discord js to do that?
Any suggestions?
zealous veldt
Try to module that commando uses to connect
jovial sigil
Do you mean SyncSQLiteProvider?
zealous veldt
I don't know much about commando or sqlite, haven't used either. I use Mongo and a custom command handler
jovial sigil
I don't want to just use sqlite for putting guild settings
Ah okay
I'll keep searching
zealous veldt
I recommend rethink if you're starting out with database stuff, it's easy and quick
Mongo if you're more advanced
The era is SQL is coming to an end
jovial sigil
I've worked with databases before, just not much practice with connecting to a DB using node js/discord js
I'll check out mongo.
sick cloud
honestly you'd just connect it like any other application
zealous veldt
Mongo is dope
jovial sigil
@sick cloud I'm more asking for like syntax or correct use, etc.. or like a package that makes working with DBs easier

Anyone here use the jovo framework
app.setHandler({

},
'Gas': function(type, place) {

this.googleAction().askForPreciseLocation('Sorry, you need to give me access to your location to use this action!');

let device = this.googleAction().getRequest().getDevice();
console.log(device);
this.tell('Thanks for your precise location');
}
}
});
ive been trying this to get the users location for google assistant
it tells me this when i type the trigger for Gas
"Sorry, you need to give me access to your location to use this action!, I'll just need to get your street address from Google. Is that ok?"
i dont understand how the user is supposed to accept
whenever i type in "yes" it goes to the fallback intent and not ON_PERMISSION
topaz fjord
It's for a Google assistant action
earnest phoenix
So it is asking for their location?
topaz fjord
In the gas part yes
earnest phoenix
Seems fishy
topaz fjord
But I don't see any place or way to confirm
Many Google assistant actions require your location
That's how they do the near me
topaz fjord
It's not for discord

why not just look it up on your phone

It's for something else

A Google assistant action

viscid falcon
how would i go about sending a image using discord.js?
earnest phoenix
@viscid falcon you would look at the discord.js docs here:
https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/TextChannel?scrollTo=send
And find the examples:
// Send a remote file
channel.send({
files: ['https://cdn.discordapp.com/icons/222078108977594368/6e1019b3179d71046e463a75915e7244.png?size=2048']
})
.then(console.log)
.catch(console.error);
// Send a local file
channel.send({
files: [{
attachment: 'entire/path/to/file.jpg',
name: 'file.jpg'
}]
})
.then(console.log)
.catch(console.error);
viscid falcon
thank you
viscid falcon
why does this keep giving me message.author.setNickname() is not a function?
sick cloud
because your trying to set the nickname of a user, not a GuildMember
users don't have guild-specific properties
viscid falcon
oh duh, thanks
viscid falcon
yeah
i changed it to message.member.setNickname... but now its giving me a DiscordAPIError: Missing Permsissions

the bot has to be above the user role or permission wise to do so
and have the manage nicknames permission

oki sry and gnite @sick cloud
sick cloud
gn and kek
sick cloud
ok so i have this code https://hastebin.com/xixohagoho.js the top part for message edit works but when i pin a message or unpin it doesn't work. no errors, and as you can see i've tried the console log method, it doesn't even get to 1 apparently
like, nothing outputs to console
hallow harness
if it doesn't go to console.log('1') that means it's returning something before then
which means it's reading line 8
if (msgBefore.content !== msgAfter.content && msgBefore.embeds === msgAfter.embeds && msgBefore.pinned === msgAfter.pinned)
as true and going into that if statement and returning the embed there
that is what I would assume unless something else is also interfering
@sick cloud ^ ?
check if your if statement is what you want
fluid basin
Yeah that means it triggered the first if statement and returned after that
sick cloud
no it can't be @fluid basin @hallow harness because the embed for that if statement never sends
its like the event is never fired when the pin happens
hallow harness
uuuh
have you tried adding a console log inside the if statement?
see if that goes or not
to confirm whether or not it's entering the if statement
sick cloud
i'll try that later

how would make a discord inner embed
bright spear
@earnest phoenix can you explain?
dull breach
send embed xD
ah
2 ways here:
- If you r really lazy you can write
message.channel.send({ embed:{"..."} })
Use embed visualizer to create embeds it this way - Create a new Discord.RichEmbed()
.setSomething();
And then just write a name to message.channel.send()
im writing on djs, just notice
bright spear
@earnest phoenix the screenshot you showed is a rich embed
@earnest phoenix you mean you just make the json? thats easier to preview cuz of the visualizer but it doesnt let you add/remove fields
earnest phoenix
oh
yeah i just manually make it. i think a few of my commands i just push the field object to fields array lol
is it
heady zinc
ye that's what i do too
and that's what d.js's embeds builders do in the background anyway
earnest phoenix
yeah forgot to mention im on eris so dont think theres an embed builder anyway

So I'm noticing with @spice wren that it manages to embed links in the now playing embed with titles to the links instead of the raw URLs
Does anyone know how a bot can accomplish this? I'm not finding anything on specifically texting a URL in the API docs
fluid basin
Use markdown
heady zinc
[link](text)
fluid basin
Its supported in embeds
heady zinc
that's a markdown feature only supported in embeds
fluid basin
tbh bold, italics, underline and strikethrough all use the markdown format
long glade
Well yes of course, but I always had the idea in mind that Discord purposefully had a limited version of markdown to prevent against malicious link texts and images and things like that
It's neat to see that a bot has more access though
heady zinc
discord indeed has a limited implementation of markdown, i think it wasn't specifically meant for bots but rather for internal purposes but eh
long glade
In any case it works how it is so I'm fine with that
@heady zinc Sorry for the tag but seems it didn't work :c
heady zinc
uh lemme check something very fast
fluid basin
Pretty sure its the other way round
long glade
Oh wait
heady zinc
[text](https://memes.com) works
bright spear
btw, it also works in non-embed webhook messages

Good evening to all
you know how I can keep my bot connected to my server without putting it on the host or VPS?
neon swift
ummmmmmmmmmmmm
You do realize bots don't run in the aether
And VPS only costs you like 3 or 4 $ a month
earnest phoenix
and then how can I do it online?
neon swift
earnest phoenix
and I do not want to pay for a bot!!
neon swift
too bad, nobody is going to host your bot for free
(and when you see a free "product" know that you are the product and most likely company will sell your info)
earnest phoenix
they told me that I do this without being hosted by someone but I do not know how to do it and neither the one who told me knows
hardy fiber
Can you host it in your own computer?
I host mine on someone else's computer for free because I made a bot for them, but that's not an every day occurrence.
earnest phoenix
i can not keep my pc open
neon swift
well, then you see, VPS is the perfect solution
it's cheeper than paying for the internet and the electricity your computer will use hosting your bot
The biggest issues would be you not having a internet chargeable card (credit or debit+) or you not knowing any bash commands
earnest phoenix
OK thank you very much for your help
and I can find this way to let you know so you can know it
neon swift
No thanks, I already have my bot running on a VPS I pay $4 a month for
earnest phoenix
and how can I pay if I do not have a credit or debit card on the internet?
Does paysafe accept the vps you are?
worldly sigil
so im having a bit of trouble starting my bot
im using the python api documentation but a lot of stuff seems ambiguous
to start i created a 'MyClient' class and extended the discord.Client() class
and im not sure where to go from there
neon swift
What python lib you using?
worldly sigil
uh
not sure?
im using python 3.7
and then did the pip install discord.py[voice]
neon swift
So you using discord.py, I see
1st, if you are making a bot, you want to from discord.ext import commands and use commands.Bot instead of discord.Client
neon swift
There is none, commands.Bot is a subclass of discord.Client
it's just that Bot has builtin command making tools
Then read the documentation and look at the example bot: https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/async/examples/basic_bot.py
You don't even need to subclass the bot unless you want to overwrite something in there
neon swift
Very little as you can just use cogs
worldly sigil
or playing music
neon swift
Those, not at all
worldly sigil
oh ok
neon swift
I was more thinking if you want a complex prefix finding system then you might need to overwrite get_prefix or something
worldly sigil
exclamation point prefixes are fine for rn
neon swift
Yeah, for example this is my get_prefix I have overwritten: py async def get_prefix(self, message: discord.Message): if isinstance(message.channel, discord.DMChannel): return [ f'{message.channel.me.mention} ', "".join(itertools.takewhile(lambda k: not k.isalnum(), message.content)) ] # mention needs to be first to get triggered return await super().get_prefix(message)
It makes it so that DMs don't need a prefix but still use any !?=:; combination you can think of
worldly sigil
i see
neon swift
But even if you want custom per server prefixes you don't need it
Oh, one thing tho, if you are just starting, use the rewrite version of the library instead
pip install -U git+https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py@rewrite#egg=discord.py[voice]
This command in your git enabled console would install rewrite version. It's just that 0.16 og the library is getting really outdated
worldly sigil
thxxx
neon swift
Also if you have any questions then you are more likely to find an answer in d.py server: https://discord.gg/r3sSKJJ
worldly sigil
damn dude i really appreciate it
earnest phoenix
well i want to do another one question you know i can find code for music bot
@neon swift
neon swift
Do I look like google????????????
earnest phoenix

any idea how I can create an older version of a file using git?
For example create a copy of a file 2 commits ago. How would I do that? (fixed

I need help with a bot I'm making. I'm having trouble figuring out a way to connect the bot, which is coded in C#, to the database I'm using, which is MariaDB (MySQL). Does anyone have experience with this particular setup? I've been searching the internet for answers and I've been coming up empty-handed.
take your time, I literally have a mountain of time on my hands.
:/
earnest phoenix
@ruby dust sorry my friend
what issues are you having exactly? @shy oak - I don't have experience with c# discord bot but I use mariadb as well in node, so if its not a c# related issue I might be able to help
shy oak
it is a C# related issue. I can't get the connection object to work correctly.
earnest phoenix
ah I see, then better wait for someone who codes their bot with c# and uses mysql to give you a hand ;p
shy oak
I have all the time in the world...

vernal crow
@earnest phoenix What Library are you using?
earnest phoenix
discord.js
glad charm
node filename.js
vernal crow
Okay, assuming your code works, you can start it using a console with the node command
^
glad charm
If you want it online and still use your terminal you can use forever. Just install npm install forever then forever start filename.js
(If you're computer/laptop turns off the bot will turn off too)

Pm2 also works. I'm using that

yeah, sure... completely gloss over my question... it's not like I need help or anything... ;;-;;

@shy oak some people won't be able to answer your question, there is nothing you can do about it. we're not going to freeze the channel until someone answers your question.

if you're that desperate ask on a help forum where your question won't get buried

A month? Google is a better option at this point.

I tried that. nothing came up.

You also gotta take in not a lot of people in here are good with C#
glad charm
discord.ExecuteAndWait(async () =>
{
await discord.Connect("TokenCode", TokenType.Bot);
});``` Is this the issue?That’s be cool if there were different channels for different libraries.
shy oak
no, it's not. I need a way to connect my bot's code to the Database that I have set up using MySQL.

shy oak
I need help with a Discord bot I'm making. I'm having trouble figuring out a way to connect the bot, coded in C#, to the database I'm using, which is MariaDB (simply a fork of MySQL). Does anyone have experience with this particular setup? I've been searching the internet for answers and I've been coming up empty-handed. Either the code is outdated or it fails entirely.
quartz kindle
did you try this? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44719432/querying-a-mariadb-database-with-c-sharp
if you cant find anything for mariadb, search for mysql. they both have 99% identical apis
shy oak
I know that. It's just that the Libraries for the MySQL .NET packages were updated just a few days ago.
nothing works anymore :/
not even the Developer Guide for MySQL.
glad charm
inb4 it's not a sql issue
heady zinc
if it doesn't work how about rolling back to a previous version
chilly parrot
Anyone here with knowledge about a bot account with multiple receiver bots in the background? Like
One Bot thats check for commands, (Python)
Second posting RSS Feed stuff (Python)
Third doing other stuff (Go)
quartz kindle
only theoretical knowledge
chilly parrot
00:41] pawadox: multiple receiver bots?
you have 1 bot account that is used from 3 scripts (2python, 1 go ... so it is not 3x times the same, it is other stuff) in the background
quartz kindle
your bot can login from multiple places at once, so you can have 3 connections
heady zinc
you basically want to micro-service your bot don't you?
quartz kindle
but that will triple the data you're receiving from discord
you can have one bot that listens and passes stuff to other bots
chilly parrot
00:42] Tim: but that will triple the data you're receiving from discord
right ... but i dont think thats a huge drawback
quartz kindle
other than that its as simple as running 3 bots
using the same token to login
unless you wanna pipe data between them
quartz kindle
yes
chilly parrot
and know i'm would check if there is any big drawback, like getting banned or so
glad charm
when you gotta update your VM instance for your bot and you're worried they're gonna try and review during down time
😱
quartz kindle
im not sure about getting banned
heady zinc
well there's a lot of drawbacks actually
as far as i know it will just identify three times
thus you will reach the identify ratelimit 3 times faster
chilly parrot
there is a identify ratelimit
heady zinc
the usual way is to only have one application connected to the gateway
chilly parrot
lul never got it
heady zinc
then this application transmit it to the other services
it's 1000 identify/24h
each shard count as identify too
chilly parrot
00:46] pawadox: then this application transmit it to the other services
but that would be a big drawback
the time between sharing is not small
quartz kindle
why dont you just pack the 3 scripts into one?
heady zinc
unless you host your services on different servers each far away from each others
chilly parrot
00:47] Tim: why dont you just pack the 3 scripts into one?
2 different languages + 1 script is blocking and that the async version is slow like hell
00:47] pawadox: sharing it would pretty much be instantaneous
but you can't share the full message obj between the bots, without time for copy
and other languages can't use the object, without getting it directly from discord again or?
quartz kindle
if you're using different objects/libs, it might be tricky, yes
chilly parrot
how would you pass the python message obj. into golang without needing time for reencoding into json and stuff
you waste so much time between this steps
heady zinc
well you don't really have the choice, it's either that way and it will scale, or your current way and it wont scale
transforming it into JSON and the other way around should be a matter of nanoseconds though
quartz kindle
the problem is that the json object will be different from lib to lib
unless you're accessing the discord api directly
plus if you convert to json, you lose the api functions/methods
heady zinc
ye at this point you would usually don't use a lib
quartz kindle
at this point yeah, you dont really have a choice besides rewriting everything into a single bot/lang/lib
heady zinc
well after all you're trying to use two different languages, you'll have to drop the simplicity
quartz kindle
keep doing what you're doing, you got plenty of space left with 1000 logins per day
plus you can reload parts of your bot that way, without having to use command handlers lmao
chilly parrot
1000 bots incoming
quartz kindle
and split them into different hosts
chilly parrot
as long that every bot only connects 1 time per day, everything should fine
heady zinc
true, but you should still think about it, as there will be a point where your system will break
quartz kindle
tbh his system is actually quite scalable
chilly parrot
why should it break? can you give me a example?
quartz kindle
the only problem is literally triple the bandwidth and triple the resource usage
heady zinc
ye that's not quite scalable lul
chilly parrot
and triple the resource usage
and the instances are not blocking each other
quartz kindle
so it will be idling most of the time
chilly parrot
ye that's not quite scalable lul
thats where i'm not so sure about
heady zinc
how big is your bot
chilly parrot
when we think about python ... python is a shit language, you can't really multithread it without starting a new thread
so for python this is scalable like hell
quartz kindle
thats why there is sharding
chilly parrot
you just start own instances of the bot
quartz kindle
sharding forces you to multithread regardless
heady zinc
that's where internal sharding comes into action and you don't multithread 
chilly parrot
how big is your bot
not big, 1 server with 1k ?
glad charm
nice
heady zinc
oh lmfao
chilly parrot
it's just a private server, thats needs some functions
quartz kindle
then you dont need to worry about anything
heady zinc
oh then you don't care at all about the identify ratelimit lmfao
chilly parrot
but still i wont risk breaking api rules ... so thats why i ask here
quartz kindle
i mean, im on almomst 300 servers with a single core and 600mb ram
quartz kindle
ayyy

quartz kindle
ah
glad charm
trying to make my bot live with new VM instance and i have to reinstall all these dependicies holy shit
quartz kindle
im gonna switch to eris maybe if i get close to 2k
im on djs stable and i have a problem with memory allocation
heady zinc
i doubt it's worth it honestly
quartz kindle
because it caches users and they come online
glad charm
nice
quartz kindle
so after like 3 days it goes from 100mb ram to almost 300mb
sick cloud
d.js master is good
it has a clear cache thing iirc
i need to implement it into my bot
glad charm
ye
quartz kindle
what i did to fix linux's out of memory thing was create a 1gb swap file lmao
not very performance-y but does the job
heady zinc
i mean d.js stable is really outdated
heady zinc
even though it's bad practice you should use master
quartz kindle
but tbh im just too lazy to switch
i have a shit ton of work to do on another project, its a big pain to even think about switching libs at this point
glad charm
FATAL ERROR: v8::ToLocalChecked Empty MaybeLocal. rip this is only happening now
I made a new VM instance and now it's dying lol
Apparently a well known issue lol

I'll bork it and reinstall to 6

I found a way to add playlist support to my "play music command":
https://hastebin.com/febimolefa.js
The code to allow playlists:
if (url.match(/^https?:\/\/(www.youtube.com|youtube.com)\/playlist(.*)$/)) {
const playlist = await youtube.getPlaylist(url);
const videos = await playlist.getVideos();
for (const video of Object.values(videos)) {
const video2 = await youtube.getVideoByID(video.id); // eslint-disable-line no-await-in-loop
await handleVideo(video2, msg, voiceChannel, true); // eslint-disable-line no-await-in-loop
}
return msg.channel.send(`✅ Playlist: **${playlist.title}** has been added to the queue!`);
}```
Im just unsure of where I should put it in my original play command code it so it works correctly...

This code won't increment the value, it won't even print the new user into the database, using TinyDB on Discord.py
@bot.command(pass_context=True)
async def cookie(ctx):

if cookiedb.contains(Users.id == ctx.message.author.id):
cookiedb.update({'user': ctx.message.author.id, 'cookies': increment})
else:
cookiedb.insert({'user': ctx.message.author.id, 'cookies': 1})```Yeah you are going to have to figure this out on your own, not sure if anyone here woud know TinyDB (whatever that is)
or start using big boy databases, like asyncpg and postgre

also why are you coding on your phone?
Because I'm on vacation
hmm....
no clue if i cant see all the code XD
haft of it is cut off
Hold on, ill get a file
put it in a hastebin XD\
Can't I don't think. I can't cut and paste from the codeanywhere app

im not downloading it
That's the best I can do

do you know how to remove the code
waht code?
line above bot image
@earnest phoenix here
line above bot image
Css sucks ass dude sry. You should use a preprocessor like scss
Then compile it ofc
heady zinc
what is crapping out on your code exactly
earnest phoenix
Idk why but my bot keeps restarting
Pm2 errors somehow restarts the process and I see none of it
heady zinc
uh, perhaps it runs out of memory 
heady zinc
i mean it's a possibility but i highly doubt it's the case
earnest phoenix
Oh
heady zinc
do you check the full logs from pm2?
earnest phoenix
I use pm2 restart 12 && pm2 logs 12 when I restart the bot after adding smth new
Does that not give me the full logs?
heady zinc
it does, threre's nothing that makes sense in your logs?
earnest phoenix
No. Just my bots startup logging which just tells me when each command gets loaded into sqlite
bitter sundial
it loads a few lines from history and then prints the logs live
earnest phoenix
Ye
heady zinc
ye so everytime you run the command your bot just restart and nothing else is logged? 
earnest phoenix
No every time I restart the bot it loads all the commands like 20 times through
And when I run the new command it literally does nothing
bitter sundial
how does your command loader work
earnest phoenix
Same way https://anidiots.guide command loader does
hey how would you make your bot edit its embed
New embed object
heady zinc
soo at this point, i can only think of adding logs to the console at every step of your command
earnest phoenix
like the bot edits the embed
heady zinc
to see exactly where it borks
earnest phoenix
Bork!
can anyone give me an example of it
?
Anything wrong with these two lines? Cuz I think I might have the dimensions off and that's why it's hiccuping.
The dimensions of the whole image are 500px by 250px
