if you are using the commands module, create this function (https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/rewrite/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_prefix) and in command_prefix refer to that function

Thanks m8
earnest phoenix
how do I put the amount of my bot server on the site?
indigo current
Look at the docs
earnest phoenix
@indigo current could you send me
empty dune
hey
i made a bot
but im trying to upload him to the site
but i dont know witch lib to choose
any sugestions?
ruby dust
if you don't know which lib to choose, then I don't think you made a bot
topaz fjord
what lib did you use
empty dune
i just used javascript
topaz fjord
eris or discord.js
empty dune
tnx
empty dune
oh
topaz fjord
if you don't know what lib then there's something wrong
ruby dust
how can you create a bot without a lib
topaz fjord
you write all the gateway connections yourself
ruby dust
I mean, you still had to install one to code one, which will be your choice
empty dune
yes
topaz fjord
what did you install with npm
empty dune
npm install discord.io winston –save
empty dune
uashauhauhua
ruby dust
isn't that the outdated one?
ruby dust
I wonder if listing the lib on the bot page even helps anyone, cause I can't think of any reasons why it's still an option in bot lists
topaz fjord
but I also suggest:
- Learning a programming language of your choice
- Code a bot with your new skills
earnest phoenix
Does anyone know how to get my db token?
ruby dust
dbl token?
earnest phoenix
yes
empty dune
i know how to code
ruby dust
earnest phoenix
empty dune
its just js thats new to me
ruby dust
js is a programming language, discord.js/eris are discord wrappers that are made to program discord bots without much hassle
topaz fjord
that's why i said learn the programming language
node.js also isn't the lang it's a runtime enviroment
ocean vale
When I Make A New Command The Previous Commands and Chat Filter I Added In Will Stop Working For No Reason
ruby dust
I'm more concerned about why you have so many on_message events
ocean vale
im using python
ruby dust
in his vid you can see it's discord.py
ruby dust
this seems like you are using discord.py async
and also your python syntaxes makes me think you are using python 2
both are outdated
ocean vale
im using python 3.6.4
ocean vale
well it does use that
ruby dust
well either way, it still seems like you are using discord.py async?
ocean vale
yep
ruby dust
yeah, that version is so outdated that I think they will soon stop maintaining docs for it
and also not many people use it anymore, so you won't really get help from anyone, most likely
ocean vale
ok
ruby dust
I'd recommend using discord.py rewrite
that's the currently maintained version, and is considered the latest version
ocean vale
ok
earnest phoenix
Can someone help me? http://prntscr.com/mndfbg
knotty steeple
dont use powershell
ok thanks
but actually
help with what
ur not giving much detail
earnest phoenix
I'm trying to put the amount of server pro to my bot on the site more when I send the error files
earnest phoenix
how then?
knotty steeple
dblpy
earnest phoenix
The problem is this kk I do not even know
even though I changing the error remains
pale marsh
What even is the error
earnest phoenix
pale marsh
When you run your code do any errors pop up?
undone hearth
does anyone know how to use the guildBanAdd feature to get a full report on the ban like the user who got banned and the reason why they were banned? (im using discord.js btw)
pale marsh
Why mention twice 
earnest phoenix
do not mistake no more when I try to send heroku to that mistake
sorry
it's custom kk
gilded blaze
The Guild Ban Add event supplies you with the user who got banned. If you want more information query the audit log.
pale marsh
I think you have to add a requirements.txt file in your project's root directory that contains names of pypi packages for heroku to install. I might be wrong
earnest phoenix
undone hearth
@gilded blaze how do you query the audit log? all i need from it is the reason for the ban
pale marsh
I don't think discord.py is on pypi
earnest phoenix
Is this a problem?
gilded blaze
On discord.js stable - https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/Guild?scrollTo=fetchAuditLogs
earnest phoenix
okay 😦
undone hearth
@gilded blaze i still dont understand
i dont know how to use aduit logs
like what would my code look like for getting the reason a use was banned when sending a ban report using the guildBanAdd event?
earnest phoenix
don't use heroku for hosting
gilded blaze
Use the filtering methods. Set the user to the banned user and the type to ban add
gilded blaze
if something gets returned in the array validate it then send the log
earnest phoenix
i am too but i still don't use free hosting ¯_(ツ)_/¯
free hosting is shady and unreliable
undone hearth
@gilded blaze can you send out what this would look like or just dm it to me
earnest phoenix
if you can't afford to spend $3/mo on a vps you probably shouldn't be starting a public bot yet
amber fractal
Why not just on ban fetch the latest audit log that is a ban
undone hearth
@amber fractal what do you mean?
amber fractal
On guildBanAdd, fetch the latest audit log
earnest phoenix
My problem is not knowing how to use vps
undone hearth
@amber fractal how do you do you fetch the latest audit log when the event triggers?
earnest phoenix
but yet again we're limited by discord and their very bad implementation, audit logs have strict criteria for an action to be logged and it has a slight to giant delay, depending on how discord feels, on the entry
amber fractal
Hasnt messed up on me yet
undone hearth
but how do i get the reason from the audit log into a variable that i can then add into a message
earnest phoenix
use the docs
amber fractal
undone hearth
well 😆 idk
would it look something like this
guild.fetchAuditLogs() .then(audit => console.log(audit.entries.first())) let reason = (idk here).reason
amber fractal
if you want to get the latest log
You'd put the reason inside the then
Well, I do everything inside the then
undone hearth
where in the .then
amber fractal
you change the .then from just being console.log to a function
earnest phoenix
heroku or any other free hosting is a no go
undone hearth
like .then(audit => .reason)?
amber fractal
Have you used a .then before?
earnest phoenix
private bots? fine, use free hosting, it's not going to be used by a lot of people outside of your scope, but for a public bot free hosting does not come as an option
undone hearth
no
bright spear
lol how is heroku shady, its owned by fricking salesforce
and free hosting is an option for bots that aren't very resource intensive
any form of hosting has its benefits and limitations
amber fractal
//function body
})```well i can also say bots in general are shady
just because some are doesn't mean all are
earnest phoenix
invalid
undone hearth
@amber fractal what would you put in the function
earnest phoenix
hosting and bots are two completely different things, you cannot compare them
amber fractal
I cant give you all the code
undone hearth
would it be like let reason = .reason
bright spear
my point is that anything can have some shady instances
earnest phoenix
not to mention, if you have an edu email, many services are willing to fund you with a proper vps with some limitations, e.g github edu pack offers you 50 bucks on DO and a year free on AWS with no credit card required
bright spear
that doesn't invalidate the entire idea
bright spear
well yeah but ofc they'll try to suck you into paying after that's over
earnest phoenix
my bot held pretty good with 1.9k guilds on 1 gb so you should be good
amber fractal
They dont use that much ram, unless you did something wrong, or you get a lot of guilds
Or you're like me and cache everything because you're an idiot
but that's me
amber fractal
I just cache my user data, and release it if it needs memory, or they don't use it
got that 5ms faster response, u kno?
earnest phoenix
yeah, i cache user data for 24 hours, if it hasn't been touched for more than that it gets dumped
amber fractal
Yeah, I run 3-4 bots, but because it caches everything, it uses more than it needs 
and other processes
earnest phoenix
also i found a nifty little hack recently, if you want to get the first ever message in a channel you can use GET/channels/{channel.id}/messages, set after to 0 and limit to 1
amber fractal
wait
amber fractal
that woulda been so helpful to know
I can now make a program to get the queue size
earnest phoenix
response for this channel
amber fractal
Wait, it gave me the most recent one
undone hearth
@amber fractal i got it to work so thanks!
amber fractal
:+1:
amber fractal
it should be the same thing, shouldnt it?
amber fractal
Yeah, Im on it
it says whether it's cached or not
Really weird then
Wait
thats fetchMessage
Whatever
I have a really bad migrane rn, Imma go have some tea and lie down
earnest phoenix
I just realized that my bot grew from 3 commands to 51 within 2 weeks.
amber fractal

earnest phoenix

Take care man, you dont wanna get a too big headache
14 days for 48 commands is a lot
Yeah, i didnt even realize it lol
@amber fractal What you mean with "queue size"? And you use discord.js?
amber fractal
What?
I didnt ask a question
did I?
idk terible migraine rn preparing some tea before I take a nap
undone hearth
is there any way to fetch the amount of unbans like how guild.fetchBans() .then(bans => { let bannum = bans.size })
gives you the number of bans, can you do that with unbans or what?(discord.js)
earnest phoenix
no
undone hearth
😢
earnest phoenix
because unbans don't exist as an entity
undone hearth
ok
undone hearth
??
amber fractal
its a guild audit log type
earnest phoenix
ah
undone hearth
im trying to make it so it will count the number of unbans
amber fractal
The event is guildBanRemove, for d.js
undone hearth
so like if i unban a person i want the unban count to be 1
earnest phoenix
yes
undone hearth
could I do that
earnest phoenix
you're most likely going to need a database to keep that data persistent
amber fractal
you can if you save the number of times the unban even was triggered
undone hearth
ok nvm then
amber fractal
but you can fetch unbans tho
amber fractal
Are they? rip
undone hearth
how would i track unbans then?
inner jewel
and fetching all of them evey time will be slow and spam
earnest phoenix
TarpergonToday at 11:17 PM
The event is guildBanRemove, for d.js
easy way of getting ip banned
undone hearth
what would i put in the guildBanRemove event though to make it track the unbans for that server
amber fractal
I learn something new every day
earnest phoenix
learn js, for the third time now, we aren't going to spoonfeed you code
it's basic number incrementation
earnest phoenix
@undone hearth for bans you can save every time to your json file when someone gets unbanned
just an easy filesysyem
using json as a database 🙅
amber fractal
Well, if it's just something like bans, does it matter?
earnest phoenix
yes
amber fractal
I keep non important stats in json, user data in a DB
earnest phoenix
one of two unbans logged to a json file at the same time will fail
which is why you don't use text or json files as a database
you use a database as a database
beats me ¯_(ツ)_/¯
it's bad practice to use json as a database for persistent data
amber fractal
thats just stats I like to look at
it doesnt matter if they become corrupt to me, but they are just cool little things I like
and I just realized that was an accidental ad
earnest phoenix
now, i'm not saying "oh don't use json for anything it's bad", json is fine for app settings or settings on software startup, however don't use it for persistent data, it wasn't made for that

You're trying to delete the same message twice
msg.delete() then a check then delete again
Remove the one before the check.
amber fractal
msg.delete() runs then another msg.delete() runs when msg doesnt exist
Thats the error
Google search is quite nice too
umbral trench
How do I make it delete the message before the purge?
amber fractal
Just dont have two msg.delete()s
amber fractal
Well what did you change?
umbral trench
amber fractal
Well mine is different, only accepts 2-100 and doesnt delete the command message beforehand, and does it in the bulk delete
umbral trench
ok
sinful lotus
@umbral trench you dont "await" msg.delete()
it means it wont wait for msg.delete() to finish before bulk deleting hence throwing Unknown Message

so I've got this node.js HTTP server running, tested it locally and externally and it's working on both, but when I hit "test" on the webhook I'm not getting anything, anyone have any suggestions?
would it be because I'm using HTTP and not HTTPS?

im trying to show the difference in roles before a role is added and after, my code looks like this
bot.on('guildMemberUpdate', (oldMember, newMember) => { let log = oldMember.guild.channels.find(name`, "log");

oldMember.guild.fetchAuditLogs()
.then(audit => {
let user = audit.entries.first().executor
let logembed = new Discord.RichEmbed()
.setAuthor(`User Update Case`, user.avatarURL)
.setThumbnail(user.avatarURL)
.setColor("8c0066")
.setDescription("User Updated!")
.addField("Updated By", user, true)
.addField("Updated Deleted By ID", user.id, true)
.addField("Roles Before", oldMember.roles, true)
.addField("Roles After", newMember.roles, true)
.setTimestamp()
log.send(logembed)

what am i doing wrong?
when it runs, it just says [object map] where it should show the roles after and before

make sure

So you can do something like what I’ve put above if you’re using a sh file. But if you don’t, then you can just do "start": "node server.js", replacing server.js with the name of your server start file.

sup everyone
is there an way to listen for multiple events
with discord.js
in the same block
restive bough
i want to listen for multiple events in the same code block
earnest phoenix
I think he wanna that the bot will listen to 2 things
restive bough
like client.on('event1 event2')
earnest phoenix
yes you can
restive bough
is that possible?
sinful lotus
I never heard of someone did that
earnest phoenix
Maybe
sinful lotus
but if you want read node.js docs
earnest phoenix
make INTERVAL
sinful lotus
you probably can find your answer in node.js docs
earnest phoenix
interval, read in docs
restive bough
i want to have this in one block
client.on('guildCreate', updatePresence) client.on('guildDelete', updatePresence)
okay
i'll read the docs
restive bough
?
sinful lotus
if you run it on interval
sinful lotus
make sure you remove that listener
earnest phoenix
``
client.on('guildCreate', updatePresence) => {
//here
}
``
restive bough
i know what i'm doing
sinful lotus
or else you will have a leak in your listeners
restive bough
i just want to listen for 2 discord.js events like this client.on('guildCreate guildRemove')
earnest phoenix
var interval = setInterval (function () { //here ) }, 1 * 1000);
restive bough
why would i need an interval?
sinful lotus
read there
thats basically event emitter which d.js use
but in my opinion as you can see in the docs, .on() only listens into one event
so if you want them to use the same function
sick cloud
const event = (guild) => {
// code
}
client.on('event', event);
client.on('event', event);
function doSomething() {
// code here
}
emitter.on(event, doSomething)
emitter.on(event, doSomething)
thats the only way
restive bough
i'll try to explain it again
sick cloud
@sinful lotus the () isnt needed 
sinful lotus
oh yas my bad lmao
restive bough
so i want to listen for 2 events in one listener like this client.on('event1 event2', myFunction)
marble needle
.on only listens to one single event. you cant throw 90 events into a single listener and handle it in a single block
sinful lotus
I already answered you you cant do that instead you can do what we sent
sick cloud
no
sinful lotus
You cant do it like that instead you can make them invoke the same function
there bold
sinful lotus
sighs
restive bough
the only question i have
is
is it possible to put 2 events in one listener
yes or no
restive bough
okay
sinful lotus
Did you read what we've told you?
sinful lotus
its even in bold
marble needle
losing braincells by the minute
sick cloud
sinful lotus
you are the worst
restive bough

if you're gonna ask technical questions and people reply at least be arsed to some extent to read their replies
instead of ignoring and spamming your question for the 9th time to get the same exact responses
restive bough
awesome reply

my question was super simple
sinful lotus
we answered it + we gave you examples
marble needle
sinful lotus
I dont see the reason for you to rant
marble needle
and we've given you 5 super simple answers
coral trellis
You can't just do client.on('guildCreate', then the next event you want to listen to)
restive bough
ik that
sick cloud
marble needle
apparently you don't lmao
sinful lotus
but you asked even you said you know that
earnest phoenix
xd
restive bough
you guys clearly didn't read my question
i wasn't asking how to make add an event listener
sinful lotus
we answered that you cant + we cited examples
marble needle
"i want to have this in one block" was your first question, speech 100
restive bough
thank you for that
earnest phoenix
restive bough
this server is full of copy paste "devs"
sinful lotus
yes I copy paste my 200 files code 
marble needle
if you can't read docs you're nowhere near a position to shit on others
restive bough
i can?
marble needle
how come you had to ask if you can
node.js docs answer your question
sinful lotus
I also gave a link to the docs^^
restive bough
i wanted an short awnser from someone
not how to make an interval
or an callback function
marble needle
the art of filtering valuable from trash responses that have nothing to do with your question
sinful lotus
first of all your question was vague
restive bough
it wasn't
marble needle
anyway, research is a crucial part of software development, if you cannot be arsed to google a simple question development may or may not be the wrong hobby
sinful lotus
we cant magically answer your question
marble needle
"i want this in one block two code lines" clear 100
restive bough
i didn't say two code lines
bye
everyone
thank you for the awnser @sinful lotus
sinful lotus
you said this question bro. with this question normally what I have thought is
function stuff() {
emitter.on()
emitter.on()
}
if you want someone helping you fast clarify what you want
marble needle
carification was only part of the problem he repeated what he actually wanted like 3 times while ignoring a shitton of responses telling him that it's not possible
to then go on a rant that we're not helping
sick cloud
should i use js or ts

So I had to add a temp workaround for this

restive halo
Not coding it on mobile dont worry lol

why are you debugging on mobile then 👀
restive halo
Was just quicker to grab the screenshot through termux
I'm just confused though
On why it specifically isnt working with 999
Every other number I've tried is fine
marble needle
i mean since it works for any other number it should fail somewhere in the block that handles 999 input, but that block looks fine
log num and try a few different inputs (including 999)

in which language is your bot wrote in?

JS
earnest phoenix
resps.length =
sacred bronze
?
sacred bronze
I don't know how your code exactly works because I can't read your mind magically. Modify it to 20 then? 
marble needle
is resps an array
earnest phoenix
yes
sacred bronze
If rersps is an array modifying length value does nothing.
You have to modify way you filter/query results.
earnest phoenix
so
marble needle
create a new array from your original one that removes the first 10 elements
and log the first 10 of your second array
which essentially is 10-20
sacred bronze
Well...

TypeError: Cannot read property 'on' of undefined
can someone please tell why this error apair ?
i'm calling the class here
const dblClient = new dblapi("You tried",{})
You have to initiate the webhook.
Aka start it wasoever.
const dblClient = new dblapi(yourDBLTokenHere, { webhookPort: 5000, webhookAuth: 'password' });```See if this helps ^
gusty tartan
it's isnt something that we should make in the dash right ?
sacred bronze
Wdym?
gusty tartan
the webhook isn't something that should we setup in the dashboard or it is ?
sacred bronze
Oh, you have to get your dbl api token, to set a adrees to point that Upvotes to.
gusty tartan
only the api token ? (soory i'm giga dumb)
inner jewel
in your bot's edit page you can add the webhook url
sacred bronze
^ that
inner jewel
where you have the listener running
gusty tartan
Oh so i can't use a custom bot for it ?
sacred bronze
If you turn on listener on another bot you can.
But you have to add the webhook url to the bot you want to get upvotes from.
gusty tartan
That not wait i mean
i mean using an actual bot to send a message in a channel when someone upvote
split hazel
How would i go about making a timed ban command?
I could use setinterval but my bot will definitely not run more than a couple of days straight
mossy vine
@split hazel what do you mean by timed ban?
split hazel
basically it unbans the user after a specified amount of time has passed.
mossy vine
you would need a settimeout
not setinterval
setinterval executes it every time the given time is up
settimeout only does it once
split hazel
ah yeah i meant set timeout
but set timeout resets after the bot restarts
which is a problem with longer ban lengths
mossy vine
yeah 🤔
split hazel
I heard you can store the time in a database and when it hits that time, unban them. But the question is how would i fire that event
inner jewel
store in the db, start a timeout
when it runs, remove from db and unban
on startup, load all from db and start their timeouts

settimeout(() => unban(target), time)

onStartup() {

prime junco
So is it wise to keep the commands for my bot in the index?
grim aspen
which library?
prime junco
It seems easier to me doing that then creating individual JavaScript files for them
amber fractal
Easiest isnt always best
You cant reload commands/modules, and iirc, module.exports is faster, not to mention more organized than all in one file
mossy vine
in javascript is there any reason not to use Map() or to use it over objects?
amber fractal
If you're an oldie and dont feel like using maps
mossy vine
So basically Map is better in every case?
amber fractal
I still use objects because Im too lazy to rewrite my stuff
unless they become deprecated, probabably staying like that. Unless I get some incentive to actually optimize my bot
spiral condor
Hey, I have a small question: I was looking in #mod-logs and I noticed that sometimes bots are rejected for responding to words like "Hello". However, my own bot (which has already been approved) also responds to the words "Good bot" and "Bad bot". Should I remove this feature?
amber fractal
I love when people ask this question tbh. You just need to disable it for this guild

Im having a problem using json as a database since adds elements outside the array, and I can not find the error within my code
is there a good way to go about finding the error
wanton walrus
^^ fixed my issue above - in-case anyone is ever searching messages, make sure you delete nanos 'default.save' file - itll cause issues
split hazel
How would i go on making a spam filter?
wanton walrus
well it depends on how smart you want it to be'
if you want a simple timer // to have the command wait before running, just add a userid to a set, and have the command wait like a few seconds before executing (if the userid is in the set)
split hazel
Someone made a module on npm all about it 😂
split hazel
Hm ok
split hazel
Ah i meant like a proper spam filter
and that module didnt work because its very outdated
sick cloud

ive rewritten my bot
it now logs on (from ready)
in js
but goes off after 30 secs
how do i keep it on?
(no errors)
sinful lotus
setInterval((a) => {
client.user.setActivity(activities[Math.floor((Math.random() * activities.length))])
})
@wide ruin this isnt good
wide ruin
should i use the ~~ one
sinful lotus
no you dont have ms
if you dont have ms means that thing is spamming
means api spam
sinful lotus
also how it turns of after 30 seconds?
wide ruin
it just goes offline
sinful lotus
what node you are using
because if you are using node v10 above and a uncaught promise error happens, it will crash your bot silently
sinful lotus
handle your promises
wide ruin
. . .
sinful lotus
Promises can "reject" hence throwing uncaught promise rejection
in order to fix that you need to handle your promises properly
wide ruin
where do i look to learn how to fix?
sinful lotus
async function stuff() {
try {
promise() // non awaited promise
} catch (error) {
console.error(error)
}
}
async function stuff() {
try {
await promise() // awaited promise
} catch (error) {
console.error(error)
}
}
some example is here ^
a promise that inside an async function but not awaited, if that promise errors your bot will crash silently EVEN inside a try catch block
the second part is a promise that is awaited inside a try catch block, if that promise errors, the error would be caught and logged hence not crashing your bot
another thing to catch promise errors are
promise().then(() => {}).catch(() => {})
do they both do the same thing?
sinful lotus
on the first codeblock I sent, the first function will crash IF the promise rejects while the second function will catch the error if the promise rejects since its awaited inside the async function
the second codeblock is the traditional way of handling promises
wide ruin
and where would the .then stuff go?
sinful lotus
if you want to know how to determine whether something is a promise for example in discord.js look in the returns part and take a look if it is a promise like how I circled
@wide ruin the .then and .catch is traditional way of handling promises. if the function isnt an async one as how I did in the first codeblock
wide ruin
so i just ignore it if its an async
sinful lotus
yes but you need to put it inside
- a try catch block
- and make sure it is awaited
wide ruin
i have both of them now
sinful lotus
yes but seeing you didnt know this until now, you may need to skim through your whole code again
wide ruin
where do i need them?
sinful lotus
as I said earlier promises
sinful lotus
I gave a screenshot on determining what is a promise
in discord.js functions so its up to you to study it
wide ruin
so where i do stuff that returns a promise, add that
sinful lotus
yes if inside an async function
try catch and await
if not async
.catch(console.error)
thats all you need to remember
with dealing with promise rejection handling
wide ruin
if its not an async, id do message.....').catch(console.error)?
sinful lotus
@wide ruin try booting the bot with a bare bones code only
if that stil dont work thenIm afaik it could be still an error with your code
earnest phoenix
can someone help me?
@ me if you can
@earnest phoenix no one (but me) is going to mention you if no one knows what the problem is

@lament meteor or
``

let member = message.mentions.members.first();
member.addRole(role).catch(console.error);

How would i do to ignore welcome messages in this server (.py) from dms
late hill
Read the docs for the library you use
Find out how to get the id of the server that was joined
Ignore it if it's this server
earnest phoenix
Ye
sinful lotus
@wide ruin your error is Error: read ECONNRESET
This thing happens in numerous reasons, most common is your connection died somewhere between your vps and discord

what is the differnce between Map() in js and dict() in python?
some sites say theyre the same, other that they are completely other things
slender thistle
Map is arrays, dict is... dicts
mossy vine
oh so a dict is a completely different object type?
mossy vine
so.. objects?
mossy vine
oh wow this makes no sense
slender thistle
What
inner jewel
a dict is a map
mossy vine
oh
slender thistle
Also, py is OOP, so kinda object too
inner jewel
they're both key -> value
earnest phoenix
better javascript

Could someone show me what I am doing wrong here? I keep getting Error Uncaught Promise Error: TypeError: event.bind is not a function at evtFiles.forEach.file (/home/oem/Desktop/RedQueen/bot.js:145:36) and I think it's because of the function at the bottom of this code https://hastebin.com/ixetodewos.js
dusky steeple
which is this line
client.on(eventName, event.bind(null, client)); It worked before
which why I am thinking it has something to do with that function at the bottom of that code I posted. IDK if it's supposed to be a function or something else, or if I just have it completely set up wrong.

If I have my shard count on auto, will the shard manager automatically create new shards?
Working with d.js

you can't add more shards without restarting all

lost scarab
is there a way to make sq lite coin system to every server?
cuz when i go in different servers i have 0 coins 🤷
split hazel
to every server?
and if we're on the same lines then yes
some bots have it to automatically set a users value to 0 even when they never sent a message, which uses unnecessary space. Most efficient way is to check on every 'coin system' command if their sqlite table entry exists, and if it doesn't, create one for them and set the value to 0
earnest phoenix
@lost scarab so make amount for bot.user not for guild.user @lost scarab

vapid ferry
I'm creating a tycoon-type bot and need some information on how I should go to saving data. My bot is coded in lua.
fleet mason
mongodb
earnest phoenix
@vapid ferry what data do you wanna save?
vapid ferry
like money,items,donation status etc
earnest phoenix
So with money
you can use batabase
like quick.db
items too ^
donation? @vapid ferry
sick cloud
quick.db isnt a database
earnest phoenix
How not?
sick cloud
it literally wraps around json or sqlite or something
not a db, its a storage wrapper
earnest phoenix
yes
vapid ferry
I'm fine with saving it as a file on my local machine,
sick cloud
good for you

Don't use Redis as a database use it for caching
quartz kindle
Why not? Nothing wrong with it
Unless you have sensitive realtime data anf cant afford the slightest possibility of losing < 1 second worth of data
marble elm
quartz kindle
Nobody here has terabytes of data
Its oerfectly fine to usrme redis as the primary database specially in AOF mode, as long as your dataset fits in memory
