there are a few weird cases that i do sometimes with if/else
#development
quartz kindle
for example
//sometimes i do this
if(something) { return } else {
//code
}```other times i do this
if(something) { return }
else if(something2) {
//code
}```
earnest phoenix
Sometimes I do this:
if(something) { var thing = this } else { var thing = noThis! }
yeah i do that as well when everything is a 1 liner
neat falcon
still not clean enough
earnest phoenix
Whatcha mean? ๐
neat falcon
if (something) let thing = this;
else let thing = noThis!;
this tbh
earnest phoenix
nah eww
neat falcon
ok im leaving now
quartz kindle
there are weirdos who do js if(something) { //code } else { //code2 }
neat falcon
gross
inner jewel
i always do ```java
if(x) {
} else [if(y)] {
}```
neat falcon
java 
earnest phoenix
ah
inner jewel
that's just to indicate being optional
quartz kindle
yeah i use that style most of the time, when both codes are 2+ lines
inner jewel
if there's an else if, it'd go there
earnest phoenix
mossy vine
yes = true;
if (something)
{
let thing = this;
yes = false;
};
if (!yes != yes)
{
let thing = this2;
}```;omg
neat falcon
needs more semi-colons
inner jewel
mt js has semicolons on every line
mossy vine
fixed
inner jewel
:^)
quartz kindle
i hate people who use ifs without rbackets
neat falcon
can you even use if without brackets
earnest phoenix
yes
earnest phoenix
you possibly have a linter on
amber fractal
while(true){ while(true){ while(true){ while(true){ while(true){ while(true){ while(true){ } } } } } } }
quartz kindle
i had to modify a C code for a project, it had a bunch of ifs without brackets in it, and it crashed everything because i was trying to add a line to them
neat falcon
i don't got shit installed
earnest phoenix
it is in fact, bad practice to omit brackets under if statements
neat falcon
oh now it works but looks garbage
quartz kindle
that while loop is not any worse than a single while loop
only the last one will execute anyways xd
earnest phoenix
You all own bots right?
did you know that javascript has a do-while loop implementation
oof nvm that was a stupid question ๐
fml
quartz kindle
yeah, read about it once
amber fractal
Anyone with a green name does
quartz kindle
never used it tho
amber fractal
r/greenname
earnest phoenix
lol I asked my friend that and he didn't know what a do-while loop is
ik Steven. Realised that ๐ Was stooooopid of me to ask lul
basically a do-while loop is a post-test loop, meaning the condition is evaluated after the each iteration
How many guilds ya'll bots in atm?
quartz kindle
500~
earnest phoenix
unlike pretest-loops (for and while)
amber fractal
41 :(
smoky mica
I love dbl
earnest phoenix
quartz kindle
i love dbz
inner jewel
repeat until false```do {
console.log("hello world");
while (false);
can you guess how many times it will output hello world
Oh yeah, another question LUL. How would I put functions in a seperate folder and be able to access it anywhere? ๐
quartz kindle
once
earnest phoenix
inner jewel
0 because that's a syntax error
inner jewel
once
earnest phoenix
Uh guys? ๐
quartz kindle
@earnest phoenix use require
inner jewel
also loops are just glorified gotos :^)
earnest phoenix
So just plonk my functions into a seperate file and require it?
How would I call it?
quartz kindle
js has a weird implementation of goto
earnest phoenix
var myFunc = require("./dirToFunc")(...);
myFunc(...)
??
earnest phoenix
or that?
quartz kindle
const myfunc = require("./dir/funcfile.js");
myfunc(...)```Are your commands in seperate folders?
earnest phoenix
Yea
quartz kindle
you can also omit the .js part
amber fractal
Kinda like how the commands work then, it will just be a little different
quartz kindle
and in the func.js you need to use js module.exports = function() { //code }
quartz kindle
or ```js
function myfunc() {
//code
}
module.exports = myfunc```
you can also put multiple functions in a file
quartz kindle
function myfunc1() {}
function myfunc2() {}
module.exports = { myfunc1, myfunc2 }```Probs better putting them in seperate files... Better to debug right?
not really
quartz kindle
const { myfunc1 } = require("./dir/file")```no need to seprate functions unless they're long, and even if they're long that most likely means that it should be broken down into smaller functions
Okay, thanks guys. Again haha
quartz kindle
its a good idea to keep "helper" functions in a single file, small functions that do something specific
quartz kindle
for example in a discord bot, you can have a dedicated file for each command, and a functions file with small functions that the commands use
quartz kindle
its very useful if you have many commands using the same functions
like your db function
earnest phoenix
Ah, okay ๐
quartz kindle
of course its also possible to have all the small functions in separate files, its just a matter of personal organization preference
earnest phoenix
its "oh, okay" Sk1ll!!!
No u nut
We are literally in a vc. Shut up pleb
๐
@quartz kindle Okay, I see what you're saying. Thank you.
@quartz kindle In the function() part, would I put the things like, client, message, args etc?
quartz kindle
whatever you need the function to have access to

smoky mica
okay one second i might be called dumb for this but idc
what is shard exactly? and is it really necessary?
primal ferry
i fixed it
inner jewel
and it's required for big bots
primal ferry
nvm
keen drift
wew
inner jewel
as one shard can't have more than 2500 guilds
smoky mica
oh thank you for explaining ^^
primal ferry
just updated node xD
smoky mica
discord.js?
earnest phoenix
you don't just "add" shards it depends on what library your using, as sharding is entirely client-side
inner jewel
you send the shard id and shard count in the IDENTIFY payload
no
sharding isn't client side
earnest phoenix
it is a process entirely controlled by the developer, except for some information exchanged with the server
you can read it yourself if you don't believe me
inner jewel
i know how sharding works
and the only thing the developer can control is the shard count
everything else is controlled by discord
earnest phoenix
Guild sharding is entirely user controlled, and requires no state-sharing between separate connections to operate.
inner jewel
such as assigning guilds to shards, invalidating connections with > 2500 guilds
earnest phoenix
some developers may find it necessary to break or split portions of their bots operations into separate logical processes. As such, Discord gateways implement a method of user-controlled guild sharding which allows for splitting events across a number of gateway connections
inner jewel
and discord requires big bots to be split
the only thing the user can control is the number of shards and/or how different shards may or may not communicate with each other
earnest phoenix
technically discord has no control over the user's implementation of the sharding strategy
thus it is merely client-side (there are some exceptions as I mentioned before)
inner jewel
they can't control that, but they can enforce their rules
earnest phoenix
you can technically shard your bot more than discord allows and only interface through a limited amount of them
inner jewel
by your logic sending messages to another user is clientside because the http request is done by the bot
quartz kindle
inb4 discord allows clients to assign guilds to specific shards. bot owners move free shards to australian servers and keep premium shards on US servers
earnest phoenix
Not exactly my point
amber fractal
Why get that ?
smoky mica
What do yall think about this
amber fractal
Well you can shard without that
smoky mica
Hmm?
quartz kindle
if you dont have tens of thousands of guilds, use discord.js v12 (master) with internal sharding enabled
smoky mica
Oh
amber fractal
stable has it aswell
smoky mica
I didn't know that
quartz kindle
stable has it?
amber fractal
Yes, I shard on stable
keen drift
Stable has the Shardmanager
earnest phoenix
I personally wouldn't conform myself with an internal sharding strategy but yea
keen drift
master has the internal one process separate ws
smoky mica
Kinda wanna try sharding even though my bot isnt popular but is that a good/bad/stupid idea?
quartz kindle
if your vps only has 1 core, internal sharding is better
earnest phoenix
arguable
quartz kindle
its stupid to shard if you have less than like 1k guilds
inner jewel
it's good to be future proof
earnest phoenix
^
smoky mica
Ahah yeah ig
quartz kindle
yes, but dont shard when you have like 20 servers
earnest phoenix
yea
amber fractal
Shard with 1 shard spawn 
quartz kindle
also, another advantage of internal sharding is the memory usage, since node's process alone uses like 60-80mb ram
smoky mica
I still need to do more research on shards
quartz kindle
how many shards does rhythm have?
earnest phoenix
it's more of a concept
smoky mica
i see and sorry woops i didnt know that
quartz kindle
how many shards are they running per machine?
inner jewel
[01] Rythm : 2,999,663 servers
earnest phoenix
they must have some sort of income because I am sure no one is sane enough to pay for such vps's
inner jewel
no idea, but last time i heard they had 9 dedis
earnest phoenix
just for a discord bot
inner jewel
32c32gb each
amber fractal
They make income from donations prob at nearly 3 million servers people are most likely donating
quartz kindle
they have premium features like volume control right?
if 0.1% of their users pay, thats 3k+ paying users
amber fractal
I believe so
earnest phoenix
rythm has a ton of patrons
smoky mica
Woah is rhythm the most popular bot
quartz kindle
i believe so
amber fractal
How many discord servers are there
smoky mica
I thought Dyno was like pretty popular
quartz kindle
like 50 million?
quartz kindle
gg
smoky mica
Most will be test or just small servers
inner jewel
quartz kindle
mee6 is bigger than tatsumaki?
smoky mica
Mee6 was the first bot of discord or what?
smoky mica
Because ever since 2015 I've seen MEE6 a lot.
earnest phoenix
oh their patreon count dropped, it used to be 2k now it's 1.5k, that still means they earn $1.5k minimally a month
smoky mica
do yall get any income from your bot
mossy vine
No
smoky mica
how many servers is your bot in
mossy vine
Reached 100 today ๐
smoky mica
GG :D
Quick question. How does the guild size work lol
Why does tatsumaki say streaming 1950 guilds?
quartz kindle
i got like 100 bucks in donations for my bot
over the course of a year
big bots are split into multiple processes
tatsumaki is showing the amount of guilds in the current process
also called a "shard"
smoky mica
oh, i see.
bright spear
also the discord outage probably knocked it out
smoky mica
can it not show all?
bright spear
it can
smoky mica
like combine all shards or smth
bright spear
yeah
smoky mica
why dont they do it then
quartz kindle
i believe its quite expensive
inner jewel
because they didn't want to bother doing that
bright spear
maybe most of the shards got killed by the outage lol
inner jewel
iirc it always shows only for current shard
smoky mica
maybe
smoky mica
but wait wdym expensive
inner jewel
not really
quartz kindle
collecting info from hundreds of shards across multiple machines every x minutes in order to display an accurate guild count will take too many resources
smoky mica
oh i see tim and yeah that too ig natan
bright spear
could just pull it from dbl's api tbh
inner jewel
and if all shards pulled they'd get ratelimited
bright spear
oh
inner jewel
and now you also depend on third parties for that to work
smoky mica
damn
bright spear
i guess once you reach like 700 shards it gets really inefficient
and it would probably be super laggy on internal sharding
inner jewel
you could just set a key in a database or redis instance or whatever
shard-count-shardid
abstract fable
anyone know of a bot that can prune members with a role.
or
that can easily report on users that haven't been seen after X amount of days

you can console.log(message.author.id) before the if to see if the id is right

earnest phoenix
Yeah
ruby dust
It's weird seeing that an object ID in other libraries is a string and not an integer
amber fractal
The parameter passed is named reaction right?
earnest phoenix
Yeah, here is the full code line:
bot.on('messageReactionRemove', (reaction, user) => {
if (reaction.message.id != '530931660774965289') return;
console.log(`${user.username} removed their "${reaction.emoji.name}" reaction.`);
});```Wrong line whoops
earnest phoenix
Okay
amber fractal
no user can have both id's
late hill
Yes exactly
mental solstice
yes I thought I was right.. but to tired to argue
late hill
so if he's using !id1 || !id2 it will never be false
amber fractal
Which means that if he does the command it will return as only 1 condition is true
mental solstice
both ids had to be false to return.. if 1 was true.. it would he went to reset
late hill
Do you need an example xd
amber fractal
Clearly not if it works I dont need an example

for the first code he put though. it should have been &&

I am using a message sent before the bot, I do use the raw event so idk if that is the problem

What happened if two bots are using the same Token ?

2 instances
clever remnant
hmmm
ruby dust
2 programs use the same bot account for their own benefit
amber fractal
Would it terminate the older connection?
ruby dust
How do you think sharding works?
amber fractal
If the bot has 2 seperate codes and commands I think is what he means
logging into the same client
ruby dust
Also, how does discord know that those are 2 different codes?
amber fractal
Ill just try it...
ruby dust
amber fractal
I just want to see if you can use commands from both files or not
clever remnant
I'll try and see what happened,
For example I've a bot who have its own command and the other side I start an other bot with the same Token to read all messages
ruby dust
No offense, but this is so easy to understand what will happen that I don't even need to test it to prove it
earnest phoenix
Alright
So I have a purge command
But when I use it
it deleted the number I want - 1
because it also deletes me saying >>purge <num>
earnest phoenix
Yeah Ik, but it's still annoying
amber fractal
Just add one to the input?
ruby dust
User expectation: they want to delete the number of messages without taking the command message into account
earnest phoenix
if(command === `${prefix}purge` || command === mentionprefix + "purge") {
if(!message.member.hasPermission("MANAGE_MESSAGES") && message.author.id !== ownerID) return message.channel.send("`You must have 'MANAGE_MESSAGES' permission to use this command`")
const messagecount = args[0]
if(!message.guild.member(botID).hasPermission("MANAGE_MESSAGES")) return message.channel.send("Please add " + "`" + "MANAGE_MESSAGES" + "`" + " Permission on me in order to delete messages on this channel.")
message.channel.fetchMessages({limit: messagecount})
.then(messages => message.channel.bulkDelete(messages))
.then(messages => message.channel.send("Deleted " + messages.size + " messages"))
.then(r=> r.delete('1000'))
}
you count right after the first if(command...) add a message.delete()
Wait
idk if that works
mental solstice
do console.log args[0] see if it's the command or the number
mental solstice
below const messagecount = args[0] put console.log(messagecount)
mental solstice
yeah try.. see what it outputs
amber fractal
And to what we talked about earlier... the second one didnt login at all
I may have done something wrong gimme a sec
Ye it just splits it into 2 you can use every command in each

toxic vessel
I joined it already
toxic vessel
Ok
earnest phoenix
This is for developement.

you need to install discord.js
before you try to make a bot in js just learn js itself @toxic vessel
https://www.codecademy.com/catalog/language/javascript https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript
toxic vessel
Oh okay
I installed discord js but now annother error...
12:31 PM
12:31 PM
SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list
bright spear
learn js
bright spear
no...
you'll be able to fix it if you know js
and you actually write your own code
instead of copying it from a youtube tutorial or whatever
earnest phoenix
agreed
raven bronze
I learned discord.JS from a video, and now have advanced bots. [But I mean I did web development before, so I sort of knew JS]
toxic vessel
Ok i will learn java script
earnest phoenix
there is a differents in learning js and coping js and pasting
amber fractal
I'm in computer science classes, but Imma be honest they don't help that much.
It felt like a waste of time
I finished the entire year of work in 2 marking peroids
It's just not worth the time
toxic vessel
Discord.Cilent is not a constructor Wth
amber fractal
did you require discord.js?
earnest phoenix
You spelled โclientโ wrong

Hey!
I need help to integrate a vote system to my bot.
I first wanted to use the vote checker (user per user) and then I wanted the webhook.
I have 2 questions, what is the best and how would I use the Best solution.
Tanks for the help you will give ^^
-> I'm using discord.py rewrite version
upper tundra
Is it possible to make the bot add reactions to a message just by giving the bot the message ID?
quartz kindle
[check for add reactions permission] -> channel.fetchMessage(id).react()
if using d.js v11
upper tundra
I'm using Discord.NET 1.0.2
wet forge
.GetMessage(ID).AddReactionAsync();
should be something like that
but then again it might be in 2.0 only
celest bloom
I write
await m.reactions.find(r => r.emoji.name == emoji).remove(msg.author.id).catch(() => {
if (!message.member.hasPermission("MANAGE_MESSAGES")) {
console.log("missing Permissions!");
}
});
but it still says "Unhandled promise rejection"? But i catch it?
earnest phoenix
@upper tundra use ITextChannel's GetMessageAsync
Which OS is better to run Node applications?
blazing star
any that supports node
earnest phoenix
Then witch it's better from Ubuntu and CentOS?
keen drift
personal preference
earnest phoenix
upper tundra
Okay Thanks
earnest phoenix
@earnest phoenix no idea what centOS is, but ubuntu is fine with hosting it

sp on svc, i ran the code and got ```npm : The term 'npm' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the

At line:1 char:1

it should be added to path
but it gives
wide ruin
where is that
west raptor
where is what?
wide ruin
path
west raptor
iirc node installer gives you the option to add it to PATH automatically
west raptor
LTS probably, if you end up needing 11.x.x just install that
wide ruin
and just save it like normal
ah ok i see the path bit
what option?
i just chose install when required
wide ruin
right, i fixed all of that, now a small problem
Error: Cannot find module 'discord.js'
(npm extension added)
wide ruin
i copied it as text from https://discordapp.com
topaz fjord
Did you save the file when changing the token
wide ruin
yes
topaz fjord
Try to Regen a new token, copy it, then save the file and try again
late hill
Are you sure you're using the right thing
wide ruin
yes
late hill
This?
wide ruin
const client = new Discord.Client();```Don't u need to put your token in there
late hill
wide ruin
yes
late hill
And are now trying to host it local from vsc?
wide ruin
yes
late hill
You have a .env file right
wide ruin
yes
late hill
You need some module to load those env variables
wide ruin
oh
wide ruin
how can i add that?
late hill
Try using this https://www.npmjs.com/package/dotenv
wide ruin
@granite tartan
late hill
Think all you have to do is install that and then put require('dotenv').config()
wide ruin
just got 4 random dms from @sullen granite
late hill
Yeh same, it's already muted lol

As long as you're not putting your code anywhere public

People, how can i ping a random people in my server using the command ?
@client.command *
soft plaza
@someone lol
mental solstice
a random number out of the guild userlist.length then send message "<@{guildUserList[randomNumber].id}> Youve been randomly tagged!!!"
bright meadow
how to handle votes? like with a webhook?
mental solstice
depends what u want to do when someone votes for your bot
mental solstice
er wait youre trying to get set up to recieve webhooks.. what language are u using?
bright meadow
Java, using JDA
I have the discord bot list api setup and in the code.
I have setup a webhook connected with DiscordBotList, but how do I get if a vote is registered
mental solstice
you would put in the web address to your public ip and specified port. there are a few webhook listeners online
bright meadow
public ip?
mental solstice
of where the bot is being hosted from.. http://192.168.0.1:5000 for example.. ofc that's not my public ip
mental solstice
yes.. DBL will send a request to your java webhook server. containing the details of the upvote

Hey, what do you guys use for image manipulation with node? Iโm using Jimp right now and wondering if thereโs a better option.
scenic vapor
Jimp works ok, it can be odd to use. I was having some troubles yesterday with it but that was probably just getting a bit frustrated with it.
tepid isle
const client = new Discord.Client();
var randomstring = require('randomstring');
exports.run = (client, message) => {
message.author.send(
randomstring.generate({

}))
};
message.channel.send("Sprawdลบ prywatne wiadomoลci!")
exports.conf = {

tepid isle
The error: message is not defined
languid dragon
define it
slim heart
thats coming from the file where youre running that file i think
scenic vapor
In your main file (app.js, index.js) did you pass message?
languid dragon
another brilliant idea is learning how to code properly, because your exports.run function is a scope and your message.channel.send is outside of that scope
try reading these

topaz fjord
Keb aren't they pinned
tepid isle
yes @scenic vapor
slim heart
Hunter read what snowy just said
mossy vine
another brilliant idea is putting the send() in the scope where message is actually defined
or another brilliant idea for me would be to read previous messages
languid dragon
congratulations
scenic vapor
nice
mossy vine
shut the heck up

frick you

Why does NameError get ignored by this error handler? https://hastebin.com/ocireyetog.py
No try-except neither local error handlers included
surreal marsh
How would I go about setting a mention prefix?
languid dragon
by testing if the message starts with the mention of the bot
scenic vapor
anyone know of a good package for image manipulation? currently using Jimp, want to know if thereโs any better ones out there.

thanks am gonna look into it

Hey guys I'm getting an error with discord.js

when I'm running the bot on my Linux V-Server.
The same issue doesn't appear on my Windows machine though.
Does anyone know why this occurs?
inner jewel
try updating node
earnest phoenix
you can either update node or do it this way:
const djs = require("discord.js");
const Client = djs.Client;
const RichEmbed = djs.RichEmbed;
...
and I believe that even with the latest node it wouldn't allow you to use the deconstruction assignments
so you might want to check that
another option you may want to look at is using babel
how do i ignore specific channel
i mean server
ignore how
you mean in code
yea discordjs
what specifically do you want to ignore
about it
messages sent in such guild?
bot adds role to new users
so i want it to ignore all other guilds
you'll have to add a guard where you add roles
and add only to one
to ignore specific servers
servers have unique ids
bright spear
@earnest phoenix const {..} = require.. works in node 10 iirc (and probably 8 too)
earnest phoenix
you can use them to specify what server
or i can just make new bot for server probably
@inner jewel thanks a lot! That did it. My hosting provider apparently gave me an outdated version of linux hence the old packages.
I don't think that works in 8
not sure
I believe it's >=10
I wouldn't be surprised if his version was node 8
it would be unusual for a linux to come with a node version lower than 8
even if somewhat outdated
fierce owl
So I saw this guy's bot do a pull command
Example
Me: ?pull
Bot: Pulling changes
Also bot: Pulled! Restarting
Any help?
btw discord.js
mossy vine
im assuming the bot pulls its source code from the repository and restarts
fierce owl
yea
mossy vine
we dont spoonfeed, look into github docs
fierce owl
oke
Another question
Basically I want the bot to send a message if the command they use has an error.
Example
Me: ?kick (member)
Bot: (has an error that is displayed in the console [cmd.exe or something]) Error: Cant read property of null. Sending this to developers
discord.js
fierce owl
can you give example plz
mossy vine
member.kick().catch(err => message.channel.send(err))```if the member.kick() promise returns an error, .catch() will catch and you can do a callback or hwatever its called
fierce owl
well how can i catch the error displayed in console and throw it to a channel
mossy vine
client.channels.get('id').send(err)
mossy vine

earnest phoenix
can i use css in bot page?
ruby dust
not really
knotty steeple
only for certified

blazing star
is that C#?
bright spear
also r u making a fake antivirus
sick cloud
i remember VBS
@brittle loom i honestly haven't used it in years, but what's happening with it?
mental solstice
the issue is, you dont have the correct syntax, and it's been about 10 years since I've used Visual Basic. you'll need to do If X = vbYes Then all the other MsgBox you dont need to define. just the last one
dim x = msgbox.. iirc
also the parameters in your last msgbox & mname that will probably throw an error

celest arch
Is there anyway to code a command that can make your bot restart
By doing like !restart
In Discord.py async
bright spear
python probably has a way to exit the process
slender thistle
Yes.
The only good way to restart your bot is to let it die and have your process manager handle it.
Do use:
- run your bot in a process manager such as:
- systemd
- openrc (gentoo, devuan)
- runit (void linux)
- supervisord
- upstart (old ubuntu)
- manually reboot it
Do not use:
- a bash loop (it can eat your C-c by rapidly spawning python and if your bot fails it won't stop it from constantly failing)
- subprocess.call (you will eat your memory up by not letting your old processes die)
- os.exec*
earnest phoenix
ok @amber fractal
amber fractal
So you dont know javascript?
earnest phoenix
yes
amber fractal
You do?
earnest phoenix
yes
amber fractal
Alright.
earnest phoenix
i use visual studio code
amber fractal
How do you plan on hosting the bot?
earnest phoenix
i didnt understand
earnest phoenix
yes
amber fractal
Well, we'll need to get you ser up to use discord.js then
earnest phoenix
ok
amber fractal
Youll need to get nodejs
earnest phoenix
https://discordbots.org/bot/513731543982800899 this is my bot
what is node js
a app??
amber fractal
Its a javascript runtime enviornment
Check out https://blog.teamtreehouse.com/install-node-js-npm-windows to install nodejs
Im tired and if i explained it id probably die
earnest phoenix
ok
amber fractal
Tbh i have no idea if thats outdated
4 years ago
Id say it is
Let me find a better one
amber fractal
Yes
earnest phoenix
i have it
amber fractal
Open an elevated command prompt and type node -v and tell me what it says
earnest phoenix
what?
