i mean like restart the bot's application using commands
quartz kindle
idk about .net
but usually for restarting, people have an external service/script that restarts it automatically if it stops working, so people just make an quit command
for example in nodejs i would do process.exit() and let my external script restart it automatically
but if you use this method, you cant shut it down permanently unless you stop the external script before
uncut slate
you can also have your external script check for the exit code
quartz kindle
oh yeah, i didnt think about that
neon swift
Using something like systemd is recommended. Everything else has side-effects like memory leaks or running out of requests to discord. Just my 2c
inner jewel
systemd/whatever comes with your system is generally the best approach
quartz kindle
i just use a while do loop lol
neon swift
Which gives you no control over it
and can easily call discord 100x a second and get you ratelimited
quartz kindle
nah it loops on a 5s timer
and if the process crashes in a way that it cant start, it never reaches the login phase
tulip snow
Does anyone know how to find the coordinates for a image?
@ me
check 
viscid falcon
How do you create the timer for something like a temp mute/ban command
In discord.js
grizzled isle
get the time into milliseconds, add it to the current date, set a timeout with that time, then remove the ban/mute role if the date in milliseconds is equal to the one with the time added.
viscid falcon
Set a timeout?
sick cloud
no, don't use setTimeouts
1, if you have lots of users temp muted at a time, thats a tonne of memory usage
and 2, if the bot dies or crashes or has to reload, they aren't muted anymore since those timeouts are gone
sick cloud
honestly what i do is make a new date, add on the time in ms that their banned for, and have one setinterval that checks every few seconds to see if anyones mute has expired. then it peforms whatever needs to be done
quartz kindle
i highly doubt having a set interval is more performant than having timouts
the interval will be fired many times for no reason while the timeout will only be fired then its actually gonna do something
timeout memory usage should be next to nothing anyway
heady zinc
at a large scale an interval may be the best way, having thousands of timeouts doesn't sounds exactly right
quartz kindle
at large scale yes, probably at the hundreds of thousands mark
manic elk
help me my bot wont go online
sick cloud
how do you get the unicode emojis for 1⃣ 2⃣ and 3⃣?
i can't get them using the standard \:emoji: method
sick cloud
maybe posting your code and errors instead of blankly asking for help will help
sick cloud
mkay
sick cloud
read what i said
quartz kindle
do you have any code to show? @manic elk
manic elk
no its hidden
sick cloud
then we can't help
manic elk
well i have github
quartz kindle
what is your bot coded in? which language and library?
zealous veldt
What even is the issue?
quartz kindle
we cant help you if you dont show us your code
manic elk
also its not approved
quartz kindle
it will not get approved if it doesnt work
manic elk
quartz kindle
that doesnt look like javascript at all
did you actually make that or did you just copy it?
quartz kindle
no thanks, i just wanna know what happens if you try running it
earnest phoenix
anyone here can help me out with eris?
earnest phoenix
ok?
inner jewel
@manic elk you need to learn the language before making a bot
you have botmodule.js but the code there is c#
two different languages
manic elk
i know it but thats not the problem the problem is it still says My Application and its offline
inner jewel
because you're not running any code
if you don't run any code your bot won't ever be online
quartz kindle
where does it say "my application"?
sullen path
more "how do I get bot online" drama?
manic elk
exAMPLE?
quartz kindle
look, im not sure what you're trying to do and i dont want to assume too much, but i believe you are missing some important points
a bot needs to run inside a program to work
you need to code a program, and execute it, and have it running 24/7 for the bot to work
manic elk
i have a program with code which is running
quartz kindle
is it running in your computer?
manic elk
ya
quartz kindle
does it login to discord?
manic elk
yes you can invite and it has token
quartz kindle
yes, but the token is just your bots login code
your bot has an "account"
but the program needs to "login" to that account
so in your code, you need to have a login function with your token
for your bot to work
manic elk
i do
quartz kindle
well its clearly not working, else your bot would be online
where is your login function?

final remnant
Does anyone here use glitch to host thier bot?
sick cloud
I tried, it works ok for very small basic bots i guess
final remnant
mine is pretty basic especially since i'm not really in a place to pay for a better hosting solution, but can you add json files to glitch for like custom prefixes, because I can't find anything on the internet about it
final remnant
what should i do?
I'm new to the whole bot development thing, like I have a good bot and it's growing fast but I want to give more
inner jewel
"a database or sqlite" sqlite is a database
sick cloud
oh yeah true
final remnant
do you have any documents I could use to learn about that?
sick cloud
google it?
inner jewel
sqlite is a good choice for beginners
if you want more of a k/v storage without a set schema and your dataset is small maybe redis
knotty steeple
you can use redis on glitch?
inner jewel
unless they block child processes you can
earnest phoenix
if you use redis as a persistent database you might want to look into configuration for data failures
serene plover
Hello, Anyone got any suggestions on what API I should use for image manipulation?
manic elk
(hi)
serene plover
Hey
sick cloud
@serene plover what language?
hardy fiber
what emoji are you trying to use?
serene plover
@sick cloud JS
sick cloud
The best is canvas-constructor imo, but there's also traditional node-canvas and JIMP I believe. Canvas-constructor is the best though tbh, it's quite literally new Canvas(width, height).addImage(img, x, y, x, y).addText('Hi world', x, y) and so on.
Like an embed builder. 👀
heady zinc
though you still need node-canvas for canvas-constructor
heady zinc
oh do you yuki, nice i have a few questions about it
heady zinc
i've heard kitsu's API tends to change often, is it true 
static lynx
because i was trying to use my bot and we share the same prefix lol

sour perch
hey, im having the strangest problem, some of my commands stopped working. i had all the commands working, then i tried to make custom prefix work, but i didnt manage to work it out so i removed all the code to reset it, and now some of the commands stopped working with no error, its like the files isnt even run in the first place... im using discord.js
would love to know whats going on
neon swift
next time mention the lib first, not last
sour perch
ok, thanks
sick cloud
you've probably buggered up your command handler or something
try reverting the changes and seeing if that fixes it, then adding the code in one-by-one bits
see what causes it
sour perch
ok, i will, thanks

Would a spank action command be considered NSFW?
sick cloud
if its from nekos.life, yes defs
old swallow
Alright, thanks 👀
knotty steeple
the api has sfw stuff
old swallow
guess that's one more one for the NSFW bin
restive silo
@knotty steeple even some of the sfw stuff is kinda nsfw
knotty steeple
heady zinc
even though most of them are from nekos.life
restive silo
yea but only the sfw one's iirc
heady zinc
yeah i've only seen nsfw ones with the nsfw filter to true
sick cloud
I like setting nsfw to "yesyesomgplsssss" or true
heady zinc
and then wolke publicly shames you because you make bad requests
heady zinc
no he doesn't say who does the requests but he happen to leak bad requests in the server 
restive silo
well i never got a 400 response and my wrapper was written vetting the docs
so i should be fine

cobalt breach
yes i need help getting MEE6 on my server
every time i add him he leaves shortly after
ruby dust
Maybe something's kicking it off the server, check audit logs
cobalt breach
thanks
wait wut do i need to do
ik how to get to audit logs
but does it have to me on or off
ruby dust
Basically check the recent logs if mee6 was kicked by someone or not
warm prairie
hmmm
cobalt breach
i added him and he left
warm prairie
lol
restive silo
could be that your guild is blacklisted for some reason
ruby dust
Either discord is fucking up, or it's leaving for a reason, for example your server was blacklisted from using that bot
restive silo
would recommend you asking on the support server of mee6
ruby dust
Ask in their support server then
restive silo
bot owners can blacklist servers when people abuse commands/spam them with user/selfbots
cobalt breach
ok
sick cloud
note to self: add blacklist feature
warm prairie
same 😆
earnest phoenix
@restive silo how exactly?
restive silo
how what
south finch
@restive silo yes
warm prairie
if blacklisted, leave guild, else say hello

would it be redundant to make a bot that allows you to subscribe to certain users and be notified whenever they play a game that you have in common
serene plover
It's not redundant if it has a purpose.
warm prairie
🤔
quartz kindle
nobody makes a bot to get users
if you code with that mindset you're bound to give up from not meeting your own expectations
code for your own challenge instead, for your own gratification that you made something awesome

im using d.js, i have a problem with some of my commands not working, all of the commands worked, then i tried to add custom prefix, but didnt manage to so i reverted all the changes. then just the old commands worked, so the new files doesent work although i reverted everything back to when they did.
also @wicked gate use #commands or #265156322012561408 for bot commands

@sour perch already dealt with, theres no need to try and mini-mod

how do you install discordjs master, on my mac its installed but when i go to my vm its not
quartz kindle
you have to install it in there too, the same way you installed it on your mac
earnest phoenix
yeah i have no clue how i did that
lol
i totally forget
whats the thing to install it
thats my question
quartz kindle
it should be npm install hydrabolt/discord.js
earnest phoenix
I have a problem with the help command I am creating...
These are fields in an embed. I can't get map() to not add a newline after each iteration of the array of commands
make sure your embed fields are inline. i dont think inline fields are supported on mobile though
nope, they aren't supported on mobile
sour perch
how do i foolproof my bot in d.js? i want to save one of the arguments in a command, but i want this argument to be relevantfor what im using it for so how do i make sure they dont type some bullshit?
austere meadow
what do you define as "bullshit"
you want the argument to be something that you're expecting (ie. a number) and nothing else is allowed?
quartz kindle
use regex to detect characters you dont want to allow, check length if you need a specific length, or build an array of possible options if you only want to allow specific arguments
sour perch
yea

could someone help try to explain to me how to use the discord web api ive tried researching but dont really understand

uhm.... Not really possible I guess @merry sierra
Could be wrong tho

you can conceivably develop any python project from anywhere on there
and you can even host the bot
knotty steeple
who says he wants his bot to be python
loud salmon
ascended bot hosting
hot eagle
its an option is all im saying
you could do it on a digital ocean droplet in a different language if you wanted
but it would be more difficult
misty pawn
@hushed berry Still there?
hushed berry
yeah im just writing up a small demo
misty pawn
ah ok
hushed berry
post("/webhook", (req, res) -> {
var body = req.body();
var json = new JSONObject(body);
var botId = json.getString("bot"); // the bot's id
var userId = json.getString("user"); // the voter's id
var type = json.getString("type"); // the type of vote ("upvote" or "test")
var weekend = json.getBoolean("weekend"); // bool on whether its the weekend
var query = json.optString("query"); // the querystring params that were on the user's vote page
// do something with those values here
return null;
});```@misty pawn
This is just a little demo of receiving it, parsing the value, and putting it into variables
If you want, you can even use Gson to parse it
I've included a Vote object in DBL that you can use
var gson = new Gson();
post("/webhook", (req, res) -> {
var vote = gson.fromJson(req.body(), Vote.class);
// do something with the vote object here
return null;
});
heres that
knotty steeple
Gson?
hushed berry
Google's json parser
knotty steeple
oh
hushed berry
its java
import com.google.gson.Gson;
import org.discordbots.api.client.entity.Vote;
import static spark.Spark.post;
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
var gson = new Gson();
post("/webhook", (req, res) -> {
var vote = gson.fromJson(req.body(), Vote.class);
// do something with the vote object here
return null;
});
}
}
lmao
Here, this will work with <j10
Gson gson = new Gson();
post("/webhook", (req, res) -> {
Vote vote = gson.fromJson(req.body(), Vote.class);
// do something with the vote object here
return null;
});```oc you use java 10 🙄
hushed berry
whats wrong with java 10 hahah
its required for my bot to work hahaha
pre java 10 sucks for running jvms in container
misty pawn
Do I have to take care of anything else? Like special settings on my VPS, certain DNS-settings, ...?
hushed berry
Not really
as long as Spark's default port is open
4567
So that means that would be available at [vps ip]:4567/webhook
and thats what youd put into dbl

hosting a bot on a phone?
is that even possible? lmao
apparently you can install termux, or some terminal emulator for android
and install node in there
quartz kindle
how interesting would it be to host a bot on a phone somewhere in your house
instead of an old pc
Lol
earnest phoenix
ye. i have an old phone that i could probably use if the battery would work, so i might try it
gaunt blade
i wanna host my bot on Phone & with the library discordia.
earnest phoenix
idek
never heard of it
never tried it either
but most languages can run on android's vm
so it could be possible
and for pete's sake, linux is getting its first mobile OS soon as well
quartz kindle
finally, about time
earnest phoenix
ikr it totally deserves it
quartz kindle
but yeah, a rooted android could probably find a way to run it, but idk about stock
earnest phoenix
ye, it would def. require root access.
topaz fjord
stock wouldnt be able too
earnest phoenix
no other way, and most people don't know how to handle a rooted device
topaz fjord
it would need access to the internal files
earnest phoenix
that is why it would need root
topaz fjord
stock android only lets you go so far with a terminal
earnest phoenix
ik it sucks ass
topaz fjord
i should probs test installing node on my nexus
earnest phoenix
i rooted my phone long ago, and every time i get a new one i instantly root it
topaz fjord
its rooted and useless
inner jewel
just compile luvit for arm
quartz kindle
can jailbroken ios do the same kind of things as rooted android?
quartz kindle
like run terminal
topaz fjord
i dont think so
earnest phoenix
no, i dont think it can
quartz kindle
rip
earnest phoenix
sorry, mate.
quartz kindle
i dont have any iphone lol, just asking
earnest phoenix
ios is just too restricted
topaz fjord
for some reason i want a mac

both externals and internals of a mac suck ass
quartz kindle
make a dedicated hackintosh build
topaz fjord
nah
earnest phoenix
ye
quartz kindle
with mac compatible parts
topaz fjord
i turned my hp into a hackintosh
earnest phoenix
yes....................
quartz kindle
the problem with hackintosh is that most commercial machines will have at least 2+ incompatible parts with no drivers for osx
i tried it on my old asus laptop, no wifi
topaz fjord
mainly the wifi card
quartz kindle
yup
earnest phoenix
ye lol
topaz fjord
and on my hp i cant boot without injected kext
topaz fjord
because of all the graphical glitches
i built my bootable usb within my macos vm
since i needed a mac to do it
earnest phoenix
i usually install a cellular card in my laptop when i get a new one. so i dont have to use wifi, and it comes right off my phone plan
topaz fjord
the thing is
mac is really picky with wifi cards
your best best is to buy a mac wifi card
earnest phoenix
yuck
topaz fjord
from ebay
quartz kindle
yeah, they only make drivers for the specific chips they work with on their machines
earnest phoenix
again, yuck
quartz kindle
they dont make drivers for everything and their mom like windows does

hot eagle
there was a deal for a 25 dollar raspberry pi 3 the other day
it might still be going on
misty pawn
@hushed berry Is there another way to get the amount of votes for the bot?
The one on the API-page is deprecated but I want to show, how many voted so far....
hushed berry
get the bot object ^^
misty pawn
uhhhhhhhh
misty pawn
Probably another Java 10 thing, since mine returns a error
I'll check github for some info
hmmmm... Looks like there's only a check for a single user...
That's the reason I hate API-changes
breaks stuff and makes other complicated
gaunt blade
how? Do i host bot on phone with discordia?
topaz fjord
i thought we told you not too? Hosting on a phone is slow

any mobile device wasnt made for hosting a bot

why not just host on a vps

yes true

restive silo
GameManager is not even here 
gaunt blade
Yea
restive silo
but i recommend you to not host on a phone it has a lot of disadvantages
topaz fjord
^
gaunt blade
i just wanna try & see
restive silo
memory is small, cpu is bad, uses a lot of resources
gaunt blade
With the lib discordia
restive silo
will heat the phone up
restive silo
phone needs to be online all the time
gaunt blade
i just wanna test :) ?
restive silo
then test
topaz fjord
hot eagle
running web apps on phones is a gimmick thing like running doom on a toaster
gaunt blade
XD
hot eagle
if you don't know how to do it then you should probably start somewhere else
restive silo
topaz fjord
did you even try to google how to host on a phone
restive silo
here you fo
gaunt blade
I have
topaz fjord
@restive silo they're using lua u dum
restive silo
oh
gaunt blade
I did not find a one that works with lua/discordia
restive silo
can you even run lua on android 
simple bramble
does the manage_channels permission mean that users can manage channel permissions?
gaunt blade
yea
restive silo
your only chance is to use google and find it out yourself
restive silo
dont think that anyone tried hosting lua on a phone before
well then its not possible or smth 
gaunt blade
btw Jonnygaming Tv#4235 is my friend
topaz fjord
i feel like there's no one who in their right mind who would host a lua application on android
gaunt blade
ok then, i need help with a annouce command for my bot
Like i use !annouce <text>
It does annouce in all guilds it is in
simple bramble
if you mean announce something to all the servers the bot is on, then that's not good
especially if anyone can use it
gaunt blade
No only bot-owner
loud salmon
yea.. mass messages would not be good
gaunt blade
*me
simple bramble
even if its locked owner only then thats still api abuse
loud salmon
i personally use the game as announcements
topaz fjord
even if the command is locked to the bot owner, its api abuse to send the announcement to all guilds
simple bramble
^
gaunt blade
😢
loud salmon
if you globally anounce to vote for your bot, lots of people will kick it
simple bramble
yes
topaz fjord
best bet is to create a support server
simple bramble
that's just playing dumb
topaz fjord
and mention it their
gaunt blade
ok, then join message?
loud salmon
join messages are iffy
gaunt blade
Like people invite the bot & it says something like the Rythm bot
ruby dust
why do you even want to promote yourself in such a way? just don't do that at all?
simple bramble
thats basically what i do
viscid falcon
What if you could have it so you could opt in and out of announcements
simple bramble
and i think join/leaving messages are ok
still no
cause then it'd send the message to all the opt in, which is still api abuse\
gaunt blade
like the bot joins a server and says vote for bot (once) & do !help for commands etc
simple bramble
no
ruby dust
but why
simple bramble
the bot wont just join the server and say pls vote for me on dbl here
ruby dust
rythm only does that on joining guild, not once a month to everyone
gaunt blade
not here
simple bramble
pengubot does that sometimes as well
gaunt blade
yea once joining only
pls?
in lua? I can't figure it out
It gets error when i test
Guys?
Plz?
ruby dust
it is still kinda begging
you are asking for upvotes before even letting the users decide wether they like using it or not, which would be the reason why they would upvote it in the first place
simple bramble
if it joins and says somethign like "my prefix is ! and type !help for my help list" that would be ok
ruby dust
but rythm has a built-in logic where to post that message on join, it doesn't just post it in the first or random available channel
ruby dust
you have no creativity if you just want to copy other bots
loud salmon
pls what
ruby dust
then do it, why are you plsing?
loud salmon
we wont spoon feed you code
ruby dust
I'm not being rude here, but since you don't know how to do something to the point when you are just asking for free codes, I doubt you even have a decent bot that is worth such hassle of begging every server for upvotes in your mentioned way
earnest phoenix
Would anyone consider making a samejima mamimi bot?
ruby dust
bots listed here are made by devs that want to make them, not because they are being asked to make
gaunt blade
I found out it is= channel:join() but hmm im still confused
misty pawn
@hushed berry The thing you recommendet to me doesn't work 😦
hushed berry
how so
misty pawn
idk.
I used the second code you showed me and added my stuff to it, but it doesn't work....
hushed berry
Did you set it up in dbl correctly?
misty pawn
I set it to [domain]:4567/vote and also tried with IP
earnest phoenix
@ruby dust Okay don't lecture me because I politely asked... -.-
ruby dust
I was just saying the reason right away, just so there won't be any more questions like "why" or something
ruby dust
stop
earnest phoenix
@ruby dust -_- I'm not going any further into this with you.
misty pawn
@hushed berry Nope... Tried different things...
Tried with IP, with domain, also added a sys-out to check if it reveives it at all... Nothing works...
misty pawn
Ignore spaces
Gson gsonVote = new Gson();
post("/vote", (req, res) -> {
// for debugging...
System.out.println("Vote received!");
Vote vote = gsonVote.fromJson(req.body(), Vote.class);
VoteUtil.voteAction(vote.getBotId(), vote.getUserId());
return null;
});
do you have cloudflare on the domain?
misty pawn
Not for SSH if you want to ask that
Only for DNS-stuff
@hushed berry Here's the other code... Not the best one, but I first wanted to make it work, before making it pretty:
https://gist.github.com/Andre601/16d1aca3bd55a10810bc207cdf8bee2d
hushed berry
@misty pawn You do run that spark code somewhere, right?
misty pawn
I run it in the main[], where my bot starts
inner jewel
misty pawn
Where can I find those and what do I need to change in spark?
inner jewel
Spark.port(int)
inner jewel
unless you add the certificates to spark, http only
misty pawn
So first Spark.port(int) then the post?
Not that I mess something up
Doesn't work...
My bot stops...
And because of an issue, that idk, does it not print any error...
@inner jewel You know a way to find out, what ports are already in use?
I get a BindException with "adress already in use"
inner jewel
linux?
misty pawn
Ahhhhh
RethinkDB uses the port I wanted 😂
That's why I had a feeling, that the port looked familiar
If there's no respond, does it mean, that the port is free @inner jewel ?
inner jewel
should be

(D.js master) msg.guild.roles.find throwing UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: TypeError: fn.bind is not a function
heady zinc
@earnest phoenix are you trying to do <roles>.find("name", "<name>") ?
earnest phoenix
if (!msg.guild.roles.find('name', 'Muted')) {
heady zinc
ye
heady zinc
that's not a thing in v12
earnest phoenix
o i c
heady zinc
you have to pass a function
earnest phoenix
what it now
heady zinc
earnest phoenix
ah yeah
just searched it up
so this should work
!msg.guild.roles.find(role => role.name === 'Muted')
heady zinc
yes
misty pawn
@inner jewel Still doesn't work...
I changed the port to a free one and as far as I can see does it set the port (bot doesn't stop)
But debugging shows, that bot still doesn't receive the vote
Are you sure it's post?
I also tried again with IP and domain....
misty pawn
What log?
sour perch
how do i check if a variable is atleast one of several things?
quartz kindle
put them into an array and use indexof or includes()
uncut slate
if it's two (maybe three) things I'd just chain ||s, if it's more you could do either what tim said or use a switch statement with multiple cases
sour perch
thanks @quartz kindle
uncut slate
or if it's something like an ID that you don't want hardcoded, use an array
sour perch
its more than 3 and not an id, so ill try what tim suggested 😅
quartz kindle
also depends what you're gonna do with it
for example, if each possibility needs its own function, you need an if/switch instead
but if all possibilities use the same function, then array
sour perch
hm, an if/swich? could i get an example on that?
quartz kindle
like for example
you have argument1, argument2 and argument3
if each needs a different function
then ```if(arg1) { function1 };
if(arg2) {function2};
if(arg3) {function3};
//or switch
switch(arg)
case arg1:
function1;
break;
case arg2:
function2;
break;```
another thing you can do, although its a bit hacky, is to use eval and named functions
for example
possibilities = [arg1,arg2,arg3];
if(possibilities.indexOf(arg) > -1) { eval(arg+"()") }```that would run a function with the same name as the argument if the argument exists in the list of possible arguments
i actually use this method in my bot
sour perch
what i want to do is basically i want to check if args2 is one of my options and if it is i want to save it to my storage.
oh, which bot?
sour perch
oh, ok
quartz kindle
if(array.indexOf(arg) > -1) { save arg to storage }```or instead of array.indexOf you can use array.includes()
i dont remember the includes syntax by memory, but you can just google it
also, if you need the argument to be case insensitive, use toUpperCase()
for example args = ["ARG1","ARG2","ARG3"]; if(args.indexOf(arg.toUpperCase()) > -1) { save arg }
sour perch
ok. but where do i like add options :/
sour perch
oh ic
quartz kindle
the function checks if the argument that the person used with the command exists in that array
and only continues if it does
quartz kindle
what are you trying to do exactly? like type an example of the command you want people to run
and what it should do
sour perch
im making a settings command so -settings language english for example, and i want it to make sure that the second argument is one of my languages 😕
quartz kindle
so you have everything you need
sour perch
yes except that
quartz kindle
if(languages.indexOf(arg.toUpperCase()) > -1) { database language = arg }```to get the arg you're looking for, you can use split
for example message.content.split(" ") // ["-settings","language","english"]
sour perch
hm, i split it into cmd(command) action(arg0) key(arg1) value(arg2) already
quartz kindle
alright, then the one you need should be arg2 already
sour perch
replace arg in your code with value?
quartz kindle
yeah
sour perch
thank you!

@quiet bobcat, im really sorry for tag, but my Bot MysticGuard is gonna be online within 10 days :), im currently on vacation, Thank you, pls don't decline, dm me :) , wait untill the bot is online then decide, Thank You 😁 
zealous veldt
lol
topaz fjord
10 days
oblique sequoia
rip
quartz kindle
they wont do that lol
topaz fjord
👌
zealous veldt
you don't need to tell people lmfao
oblique sequoia
inb4 auto-decline
quartz kindle
if the bot is only gonna be online in 10 days, then submit it in 10 days
gaunt blade
?
quartz kindle
bots will always be declined if they are offline
because its a public bot list, it only accepts bots that are ready for public usage
quasi marsh
If it's only gonna be online for 10 days don't even bother
quartz kindle
then finish your vacation first
quasi marsh
There is no guarantee that we'll even get to it before it goes offline
quartz kindle
and apply again when you get back
gaunt blade
But bot will be in website, just private?
quasi marsh
No, we only accept bots that can be used by the public
gaunt blade
So i don't need to rewrite description etc
quasi marsh
Then save the text?
gaunt blade
... where?
quasi marsh
Notepad?
gaunt blade
Im on phone..
earnest phoenix
How do you get certified?
could anyone help me put the amount of servers where my bot is please?
quasi marsh
See #topgg-api if you need help with posting stats
If you want to get certified you must post server count first, make sure you meet the other requirements then apply at https://discordbots.org/certification
earnest phoenix
anyone can help me about a bot will send a message every 1 hours? i don't know what must i do

If it's js I think setInterval would work
gilded blaze
Yes
viscid falcon
Cab someone tell me the syntax btw, I need it for a temp ban command
gilded blaze
?
viscid falcon
For setInterval
gilded blaze
setInterval(function, int)
viscid falcon
Thanks, does it have to be a function?
gilded blaze
Yes
viscid falcon
Ok
slow elk
That's how I use it all the time
viscid falcon
And the {} is the code I'm assuming
slow elk
Yes
gilded blaze
Integer is in milliseconds btw
slow elk
^
gilded blaze
Depends on the task
viscid falcon
Temp ban and mute
viscid falcon
🤔
gilded blaze
Do you wanna wait and then unban?
viscid falcon
Yes or unmute
viscid falcon
Ok what's that syntax
viscid falcon
Interval is the amount of time to wait I'm assuming
gilded blaze
The 2nd parameter is the time to wait until function execution (in ms)
viscid falcon
K I'm going to wait till i get home to do this then forget about this, thx for the help

I finally fixed my bot "Tesla Bot" to stop spamming hi
idle mountain
Probably added it as a debug thing, then never removed it... or tried it as an autoreply to something but didn't set it up properly 
I've done that before
earnest phoenix
or forgot a .bot check so after first hi then the bot would hi and that hi would trigger itself to hi and so on 
west raptor
hasPermission(msg, { member }) {
if (member.hasPermission("MANAGE_MESSAGES")) return 'This user is not allowed to be banned.'
}```
any reason this would prevent the command from running?hasPermission implies a bool result 
anyways what do you mean prevent
what's the outcome
earnest phoenix
good, analyze it and post it here if you can't figure it out
west raptor
alright
zealous veldt
Quick question:
Is it possible to access an array within itself? This is what I mean:
let commands = [];
cmds.ping = {
name: 'ping',
desc: 'ping command',
func: (msg) => {
msg.reply('pong');
}
}
cmds.help = {
func: (msg), => {
let message;
cmds.forEach((cmd) => {
message += `\n**${cmd.name}** - ${cmd.desc}`
}
}
}
Note that the exampe code is just an example I threw together to better illustrate my question
and yes i know the help command is missing the name and desc values
quartz kindle
you mean the cmds.help part?
quartz kindle
in that case cmds is a global object reference, so yeah it can reference itself from within
zealous veldt
Awesome, thanks 😃

second parameter of hasPermission is not an object but undefined or null (hence cannot be destructured)
but I am kinda sleepy so someone else can confirm
visual surge
What would you guys recommend for a database? I'll need a user & guild db
quartz kindle
the simplest would be sqlite, you can also take a look at leveldb
enmap is also an option as a db abstraction
visual surge
Ah enmap. I am looking for shardable though. I'll look into sqlite and leveldb
uncut slate
sqlite is fucky with sharding
quartz kindle
enmaps are shardable will all dbs it supports except leveldb i think
but for better shardeability you'd be better of with something that accepts multiple connections
like mongo/postgre/rethink/mysql
visual surge
Alright, thanks :)
sick cloud
rethinkdb is the best for sharding @visual surge
it sends updates to all shards, and its really fast
zealous veldt
yeah
uncut slate
that's very subjective
heady zinc
not quite right but ye
uncut slate
there's really no such thing as "the best"
heady zinc
i would say rethinkdb is about one of the easiest to understand
and it does its job
though mongo is a wise choice too
uncut slate
rethink isn't special when it comes to sharding

Is there a Ruby library for discord?

Thinking of using redis for storing data -- just want to confirm does it have nested tables?
uncut slate
no, you can only store direct strings/ints
there are hashes and lists, but you can't really use them like a traditional nested table
hasty talon
Does anyone know a random number generator 1-20 in the code whatever yagpdb uses I believe it is java don’t know
quasi marsh
@night imp Although I use Redis as my primary storage, you cannot effectively search by value in Redis
Which is a major downside
For now it suits my needs though, so I'm not that hasty on making the jump
night imp
What would you guys recommend then for a web app database for storing dynamic sets of data (and size) in node?
<id>
<id>
<rows of data with ids>
<id>
<rows of data with ids>
<id>
<rows of data with ids>
<id>
<id>
<rows of data with ids>
<id>
<rows of data with ids>
<id>
<rows of data with ids>
...etc
I have experience with Mongo but I am worried about speed and I've heard good things about more sql databases -- but with using mysql I don't think it has multi-layered tables
uncut slate
if you're worried about speed and you want to use SQL, postgres is the way to go
which is also json-schema-like
night imp
Thanks, I'll try it out!

I love postgres

viscid falcon
whats a good api for getting fortnight stats
js btw
visual surge
rethinkdb js-
If I have an object as a value, can I update one of the properties without the need to pull it out, operate on it, and put it back in (or write the whole object in db.put) ?
hushed berry
Can anyone here help me with mongodb in JS?
warm prairie
just ask
warm prairie
blocking?
hushed berry
yeah
like the promise never completes
even though the updates are reflected in teh db
warm prairie
really?
hushed berry
yeah
inner jewel
no rejections?
hushed berry
I dont believe so
I'm using google cloud functions, btw
hold on, i have na idea
one sec
warm prairie
whats the code look like?
earnest phoenix
i have a problem: my installation of discord.js says its missing some dependancies (optional ones that just speed it up significantly)
hushed berry
Is any of this bad JS code, btw? https://hastebin.com/dexekerexi.js
earnest phoenix
when i try to install them with npm (root user) i get an error saying that it cant modify the folder
specifically for four of the dependancies
no other npm packages
sick cloud
you don't need the optional ones
visual surge
@hushed berry Hi Nik!
I mean, this for example
if(req.header("Authorization") !== auth) {
res.status(403).send()
return
}```
can be reduced to
```js
if(req.header("Authorization") !== auth) return res.status(403).send()
right, right
visual surge
Idk the rest lol
hushed berry
The whole promise thing is throwing me for a loop
cos like mongodb's driver uses weird callbacks and promises
warm prairie
are you using promise and catch or async?
hushed berry
honestly, i have no idea
visual surge
Async, I see an await
warm prairie
save().promise( () => {} ).catch(err => console.log(err) ); ?
visual surge
hushed berry
the thing is
the println in the callback works just fine
but the promise that the actual update function returns seems to pend indefinitely
which seems very odd
wait...
warm prairie
println is java no?
sullen path
yes
warm prairie
he said it was js ...
hushed berry
huh?
fluid basin
hmm
warm prairie
your code saving the object?
fluid basin
So whats the issue here
