hollow fulcrum
theres a way in python to avoid that
earnest phoenix
in c i just set loop, and add %A_Index%
quartz kindle
let i = 0;
while(i++) {
if(i > 100) break;
// use i here
}```but dont send a separate message for each number lol
you can also do js for(let i = 0; i < 100; i++) { //use i here }

Why is the DBL API for Java not working?

no idea, but if it doesnt work, just post it yourself

yes but it is not working
quartz kindle
it works for me
ruby lichen
quartz kindle
where is the .columns .bot-img?
quartz kindle
@ruby lichen that css is wrong
these are multiple classes on the same element, you cannot call them like that
if you do what you did, it will look for child elements, one inside the other, not only 1 element with all those classes
and all classes need a .
you just need one of those. the original one is .btn-orange. thats all you need
hollow fulcrum

valid frigate
you said earlier that they didnt work, like do they not load at all
earnest phoenix
@inner jewel so for my java problem where would i put @Override
inner jewel
you really should learn java basics before making a bot
weary zodiac
@valid frigate yea they dont load
earnest phoenix
Why does it says 6 when I do the eval thing and says 22 servers on the DBL site?
Also, how do I view how many servers a shard handle? My bot got 3 shards.
earnest phoenix
I got nothing to do. I get bored
west raptor
doesnt mean you should just go shard at 22 servers
earnest phoenix
I know I don’t need to shard if my bot don’t got 30+ servers
earnest phoenix
Ok thanks.
pine herald
hushed berry
@earnest phoenix it's good that you're sharding early -- less hassle later
@pine herald you have to submit your bot on the website
earnest phoenix
@pine herald https://discordbots.org/bot/new
earnest phoenix
sharding at a few hundred servers is one thing...but 22? wow
Thats really early
Too early in my opinion
pastel mulch
I got a quick question for all you discord bot coders out there. I coded my bot with JS. I was wondering how I could make the users vote to access certain commands. How can I make this possible?
last ferry
earnest phoenix
@pastel mulch I dont know how to make them vote for certain commands but I think you have to be using a certain library to do that
keen drift
Use the webhook for vote checks
You are less likely to throttle and you will receive information as it's available

valid frigate
https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/Shard?scrollTo=e-death the shard will emit a death event when it gets killed or disconnect if it disconnects
earnest phoenix
Much appreciated ❤ @valid frigate

👌
valid frigate
you can't emit that event iirc
earnest phoenix
darn
valid frigate
the shard will tell you when it dies/disconnects
earnest phoenix
What if I was to process.exit(), you think that would tell me then?

most likely it would emit death and then exit yeah

mhm
last ferry
in specific situations thats a good idea
mossy vine
It works tho, at least for me
winged shell
it would be better to like have a website
and grab the image data from said website
last ferry
its not very hard to web scrape
mossy vine
If all else fails just fetch from a hentai subreddit, i heard reddits web api is easy to use
last ferry
bliz my suggestion would just be to webscrape
if you dont know how to do that then i cant explain it
mossy vine
Technically thats what im suggesting too
mossy vine
I meant the reddit fetch thing
last ferry
why not just scrape the actual website 
mossy vine
Iirc its like https://reddit.com/r/reddit/random.json or smth like that
earnest phoenix
im trying to make a thing that will add to a .json file in .js but when i use fs.appendFile but it always outputs like this ```[
]"asdasd"```
i mean like a list of blacklisted roles that the bot cannot give to normal users
mossy vine
because it literally appends the string to the end of the file
if you actually want to use .json and accept the risk of data corruption, a better idea would be to write the entire object (array in your case) in the file
earnest phoenix
so like something that could add to the array like copy old + new then write it
mossy vine
basically, yes
earnest phoenix
ok thanks
hearty tree
whats the best way i should store each individual user in my server's custom items? i have a db but im not sure how to implement it
late hill
If you put the array in the js file you can use .push to add to it @earnest phoenix
let myArray = ['a', 'b'];
myArray.push('c');
//myArray will be -> ['a', 'b', 'c']```anyone knows why i get an error, ReferenceError: channel is not defined
wesley would defining it first in the js file then writing it to the json work
late hill
Yes sure
earnest phoenix
ok thanks
late hill
What is channel @earnest phoenix 
late hill
lol
earnest phoenix
i mean i know the channel
just forgot to specify it

yet i get same error, its supposed to send message to channel

anyone know how i can list all servers with the member counts for each server on dpy

hollow fulcrum
If i was on my computer
I would spoonfeed you
I'll give you a hint
for ge in bot.guilds:
earnest phoenix
print("Server ID: {} Server Name: {} Member Count: {}".format(server.id,server.name,server.member_count) for server in client.servers)
would this work
print("Server ID: `{}` Server Name: `{}` Member Count: {}".format(server.id,server.name,server.member_count) for server in client.servers)
try it and see
inner jewel
try something like "\n".join([<that thing>])
earnest phoenix
instead of .format right?
inner jewel
no
frigid juniper
I would say setting a loop before print
earnest phoenix
@client.command(pass_context=True)
async def servers1(ctx):
print("Server ID: `{}` Server Name: `{}` Member Count: {}\n".format(server.id,server.name,server.member_count) for server in client.servers)
print("\n".join(["...".format(...) for server in client.servers]))
inner jewel
since you're printing to stdout a for loop may be better
inner jewel
to send as a message a list comprehension would be easier
frigid juniper
Just simplify your loop
earnest phoenix
lemme try both
it works
but any idea how i could make it send it in a text file?
cos if i have too many servers
it wont send the msg
hollow fulcrum
Experiment with file r/w
frigid juniper
Just file = open(...)
For item in list:
File write item
earnest phoenix
any docs on it?
frigid juniper
Yeah
hollow fulcrum
Don't even need imports
frigid juniper
Simple code, search open method
frigid juniper
file = open("log.txt")
for item in your_list:
file.write(item)
file.close()```Learn python :p
earnest phoenix
so item = ("\n".join(["Server ID: `{}` Server Name: `{}` Member Count: {}\n".format(server.id,server.name,server.member_count) for server in client.servers]))```XD
frigid juniper
No
inner jewel
you can upload files in discord.py without reading from disk
frigid juniper
so item = ["Server ID: {} Server Name: {} Member Count: {}\n".format(server.id,server.name,server.member_count) for server in client.servers]
earnest phoenix
yeah
frigid juniper
[] is a list
earnest phoenix

Would you consider it quite complicated?
sick cloud
if your new to it, yes
quartz kindle
for starters you can try playing around with express.js or something
cold harness
wait since your bot acts as a middleman, can't you host a bot and a website form the same code
and then use that as a like bot/website communicator
and then bam don't you have a website dashboard thingy

client.channels.get(517441679511519242).send("message");

i am so confused
the long number is the channel ID
should it be channels.get(channelID).send?
i feel like i did something wrong
zenith moss
You need “13422233”
Client.channels.get(”channel id”).send(“message”)
@vernal basin
earnest phoenix
@quartz kindle Express is so slowwww
@cold harness I used to do this, but I quickly realized that it's not very smart.
quartz kindle
it may be slow, but its the most popular webserver framework and has the biggest community
and it still handles 10k requests per second
im using fastify now
inner jewel
not like web server performance even matters for a web dashboard
unless you have tens of thousands of users using the dashboard at the same time
earnest phoenix
Just because its popular doesn't mean its good
Personally @quartz kindle, I recommend polka
Its faster than fastify for one.
also, it has an api that is very similar to express
so you can basically switch
const app = require('express')();
//to this
const app = require('polka')();
For the most part, and get a big speed increase
vernal basin
is there some way to take the name of a channel, get the bot to take that channel and then post in a channel with a specific name? for example:
#channel-a is where the message is sent
#channel-a-test is where i want the bot to respond.
earnest phoenix
I mean, just scroll down and look at the benchmarks
Express is last, at 24k requests per second
Polka only loses to native http module, at 50k requests per second
So even for a simple app, you'll be getting a 35-40% speed increase
inner jewel
nvm
earnest phoenix
Was about to say natan. no way 
quartz kindle
they're about the same, not necessarily faster
polka and fastify
depends on which benchmark you follow
inner jewel
if you go by transfer speed fastify wins
earnest phoenix
yea I'd say margin of error, since benchamrks vary.
But we can all agree, that either choice is better thna express
inner jewel
again, not like performance matters for a discord bot
if you don't have thousands of concurrent accesses
just use whatever is easier
earnest phoenix
I mean, there is a point where you can't be ignorant
polka is basically express's API.
anything is easy if you take time to learn it

there's also turbo-http which is a node http replacement
roughly twice as fast as all others

restana + turbo-http = fastest node framework

what about just http
vernal basin
is there some way to take the name of a channel, get the bot to take that channel and then post in a channel with a specific name? for example:
#channel-a is where the message is sent
#channel-a-test is where i want the bot to respond.
and this would go for letters a, b, c, d, e, and so forth. (is there some way to do this using channel ID's? I'm not sure if there's a correlation between channel ID and name of channel though.)
last ferry
If you have a set channel you can just have your code so it gets the channel you want to send it in and then responds in there
vernal basin
ah i see

what
bright spear
Yes IDs are strings

Well many languages like js will screw them up cuz they're too big
That's why they're strings in the first place

Hi
oak cliff
Hey so I really need some help, i've asked a few other people and theyre like "oh it should be working idk whats causing it"
Whenever someone new tries to use my bot that hasn't before, it doesn't respond. I have to reload the bot and then it works for them.
and sometimes if someone has used the bot before, and then they try to use a command, it doesn't work for them either.
I can send my index file if someone wants to try to help me
vernal basin
if two channels with related names are in the same category, is there a way to send a message to a specific channel without using channel ID?
Category A:
- #channel-a is where the bot receives a command
- #channel-a-test is where the bot should send the message
atomic sleet
@oak cliff if its javascript I could help
atomic sleet
can you send it in hastebin.com or hatebin.com if it's down since that link broke for me
atomic sleet
I dont see anything that wouldn't let them not use the bot
oak cliff
heres a screenshot of it happening
im really frustrated cause it should be working by all accounts but it doesnt >.<
oak cliff
alright, will try
inner jewel
so the bot will pause in the middle of the function and you can inspect the local variables
oak cliff
uh yeah i knew how to do that
the issue i was having earlier with that was i have the ids
how do i find the actual channel and what server its in
topaz fjord
Are you using specific ids
oak cliff
well when my bot can't post, it sends a message in console with the path, which has an id in it
topaz fjord
to get the guild id that the channel is in you do
<Client>.channels.get('id').guild.id
i see thank you

Anyone able to help me with a really quick js code pm me

sick cloud
yeah, like out of the 4 results, 75% were true
night imp
Or what's that thing
Reduce
Use reduce to check if it is true if so add certain proportion of total
f=>if(element == true) {
percent += 100/array.length
}

I dont expect a spoon feed but how do u change the background of the color

If you mean color of the background, then it would be
element {
background-color: #FFFFFF;
}
in your stylesheet -- The element would most likely be body if you're trying to change the background for the entire website

whats the best way to make a reminder in js?(and if the process turns off it still works if i reboot)
latent willow
Save the reminder time and message in a db
Then check your reminder table each x minutes for and compare the time if reached send the reminder and flag it as done or delete it
lament meteor
@latent willow the issue with that is if the process turns off then.... it would stop counting
latent willow
You don't count you just save the time when the reminder should be triggered and compare it to the current time whenever you check
topaz fjord
You can also use <person> @bitter sundial

@topaz fjord yeah but I dont really like the look of that lol
