well your friend doesnt know much then because python is perfectly fine
#development
idle basalt
no
if you know any js then its probably a good place to start. you might know some of it from html when you use script tags
earnest phoenix
Okayy
idle basalt
like i said, almost every language has a library that will make it easy (well, easier) for you to make a discord bot. the final product isnt going to be affected much by your decision
especially if youre a beginner
its commonly recommended to learn a language before making a bot though, because youll be learning 2 things at once (the library and the language) which is more difficult
earnest phoenix
So basicly no difference between python, javascript and c++
I think im gonna start w/ c++
idle basalt
in terms of discord bots, not much (that will matter to you)
earnest phoenix
It doesnt look to hard
idle basalt
they are vastly different in other uses
but for discord bots specifically, theyre just different paths to the same goal
idle basalt
sure
barren sky
I mean if you're good at it ofc
JS and Python are mostly popular and easier than C++ sadly.
Believe it or not
earnest phoenix
Ohw... okay
idle basalt
i recommend js if you know no programming languages and only want to make a discord bot
its probably the simplest and has a lot of support and tutorials out there to help you out
earnest phoenix
I actuarly ((((bad grammar so sry))) want to make applications in the future
idle basalt
well it depends what you want to make
idle basalt
ok good luck
earnest phoenix
If i in the future need some more info, can i just send you a dm?
barren sky
I agree with what syztum said. I prefer Js and Python bc it's easier although game devs mostly use C++ interestingly enough.
zealous veldt
C++ is a very good language to know
idle basalt
its not that interesting. c++ is much lower level and is thus much faster
zealous veldt
Because it's incredibly versatile and very efficient
idle basalt
you need that speed for games
inner jewel
games usually do c++ because it's fast and has predictable performance
zealous veldt
In fact many languages are made in c++ lul
idle basalt
std::cout << "c++ sucks dont @ me" << std::endl
inner jewel
eg no gc so you won't have a (pseudo)random pause when you don't expect one
earnest phoenix
So js python or c++
idle basalt
honestly, your first language doesnt matter that much
barren sky
Oh. I mean I don't see C++ very often and is hard to understand for newcomers (at least for me) so that's why I said that in the first place.
earnest phoenix
The best is just All of em😂 xd
quartz kindle
for a beginner, c++ is much harder
idle basalt
theyre all similar enough that once you know one itll be easy to hop
c++ is hard to get into
inner jewel
although in some cases GC'd langs can win (in theory c++ could win even in those cases, but such code would be unmaintainable)
idle basalt
id say yes
inner jewel
modern c++ isn't that bad
quartz kindle
considerabily id say
barren sky
I know this seemed like a noob question but I don't see anybody asking about it nor in the rules as far as I looked everywhere so I'm unsure so here:
If I use a music extension/module for my bot, will it still be allowed to be in DBL or it just counts as cloned/forked repo. I'm making like a simple Discord.js bot using Node.js and say I want to use a npm music module (e.g discord.js-musicbot-addon) for my Discord.js bot. Thanks in advance. (I hope it's detailed enough.)
inner jewel
you could start with c/c++
zealous veldt
I would reccomend starting with java if you want to stick with c style syntax, as if you start with a strictly typed language it's easier to learn other stuff along the line.
inner jewel
in fact, a lot of people do
idle basalt
ye most universities start you in c++
zealous veldt
I mainly started with JS and I'm finding it incredible hard to pick up strictly typed languages
dusky marsh
I already answered that for you @barren sky
amber fractal
My first lang was C#
inner jewel
yeah
barren sky
Oh
idle basalt
i started with js and strict typing isnt hard at all
amber fractal
Wasnt that difficult
inner jewel
that's one of the problems
earnest phoenix
Im only 15 btw
idle basalt
use ts youll get the hang of it quicc
earnest phoenix
To young?
amber fractal
I'm 15
idle basalt
your age doesnt matter
amber fractal
It's how much time you'll put into it
inner jewel
going from strictly typed to "untyped" is usually easier
zealous veldt
I started with c# but pretty quickly switch to js so that kinda screwed me over lol
earnest phoenix
Tnx for the advise
idle basalt
there are devs way better than me at 15 lol
earnest phoenix
Lell
barren sky
@dusky marsh In which channel and where to find your answer. (I just couldn't find it then. Also ping as my reply so I'm sorry if you hate pings.)
inner jewel
if you want to start with c++, i'd recommend one of the newer versions
earnest phoenix
Okay
inner jewel
they add stuff that makes your life easier
dusky marsh
It's canarado from darkos server lol
earnest phoenix
What version is the newest?
inner jewel
c++17
earnest phoenix
tnx

How come this:

// 3
?

because the ++i in the for line sets the variable for the next loop, not the current one

<client>.users has all online users from all guilds
to get offline users you need to either fetch them, or enable all users in your client settings

isn't Client.users a collection of users that weren't offline as in READY

iirc discord doesnt even send all online users if the member count is big

i just need to know the basics damn
i have my github repo and my client.login(process.env.BOT_TOKEN) on heroku is a config var with my token as it's value
the config var is also named BOT_TOKEN
idle basalt
have you created a Procfile
idle basalt
so is the problem with pushing to heroku?
broken elm
i don't know what the problem is tbh
idle basalt
or is your code on heroku but it wont turn on
broken elm
the code is on github..
idle basalt
yes but heroku has to know about it
you need to add another remote to push to heroku
idle basalt
ive always used the cli so i never have to visit their website again
broken elm
ugggghhhh
idle basalt
if its deployed, try going to the dunos and swapping them
you need to turn on the dyno you specified
idle basalt
uhhhh idk man
ive always used the cli and im not at my desk to test shit for you lol
oof
you can try clicking more and logs for some sort of error
sonic pivot
So I'm using discord.js
was wondering what best way to get users count is?
bc client.users.length is always wildly off
sonic pivot
same
sonic pivot
like I could go through each guild and summ the guild.memberCount, but like there will be overlap and stuff
lusty dew
yea but it also counts bots
idle basalt
if you want to remove certain users, you can filter the collections beforehand
lusty dew
I think you can filter out bots can you not?
idle basalt
but you wont be accurate since not everything will be cached
just reduce the guilds collection on memberCount
the overlap wont be significant enough
if you can only have unique users then youll have to cache EVERYONE
vagrant bison
heroku is shit
idle basalt
not news
sonic pivot
my issue is
I have several servers
where people are in multiple servers
but yea
imma just add them all up
and accept slightly higher stats
bc I'm too lazy to implement it properly
idle basalt
it would also be too inefficient to implement unique user count
idle basalt
the users collection only stores the cached users
try it and youll see very different results
lusty dew
I get the exact number of members
just without bots
if I did memberCount
I get nine
and if I take out the bots I get the same amount
client.users.filter(user => !user.bot).size
this returns
idle basalt
try it on a bot with a lot of users
for example, my bots users collection has 25k while membercount is 50k
lusty dew
yea
I got 11 at first
but I just restarted my bot
and I got the appropriate amount
But I understand what you mean
idle basalt
its not accurate in the slightest, especially when your bot grows
inner jewel
that will work for small guilds
on larger guilds it breaks
also filter(...).length is horrible
you generate a ton of garbage
reduce would be better
lusty dew
who used .length?
lusty dew
Ye
idle basalt
as collection.filter returns a collection
inner jewel
users.reduce((a, user) => a + (user.bot ? 0 : 1), 0)
idle basalt
what
inner jewel
filter(...).size is horrible
you create a new huge collection that's thrown away immediately
lusty dew
users.reduce((a, user) => a + (user.bot ? 0 : 1), 0) returns the number of users minus the bots
idle basalt
this is horrible in general
lusty dew
by the looks of it anyway
inner jewel
yes
inner jewel
it'll break if you have uncached users
eg a guild with > 250 members
smaller guilds have all members sent always
larger guilds have only online members sent
others will be missing until they do something, when they'll be cached
idle basalt
can you dont.. just
client.guilds.reduce((members, guild) => members + guild.memberCount, 0)
idle basalt
you cant not count bots accurately
idle basalt
thats ridiculously inefficient
inner jewel
it's just iterating a collection and incrementing a counter
idle basalt
but youre right i even mentioned that myself when this started. you can get accurate counts but it would be really annoying

@lusty dew the second one is because they expect you to return something if you ever return
its to keep your code consistent

thanks i got my own server ill see how json handling going if not i can simply swap to mysql

just avoid disk access as much as possible and you should be fine
ie: read file once and save it in a variable, do operations to it, and only write back to disk when absolutely necessary

also be very careful and make sure you're writing valid data (keep backups)

someone recommending to use a json "db" in a non-ironical way must be the most retarded thing ive read today
use sqlite if you want a small managable db

json dbs are totally fine to use

just dont tell those nerds who engineer sqlite with a test coverage of 100% and about 1.6 million test cases that all their work could just be replaced with json files
that would really ruin their day i guess

Someone want to make a discord.py rewrite Help menu together? DM me
lyric radish
How can i access variable from another shard? [Discord.js]
sinful lotus
@lyric radish broadcastEval
Example of broadcastEval
it is arranged in the order of shards
Shard 0 Data is the first item on that arrray and so on.
"this" is your client in broadcastEval, so for example you want to get a user
client.users.get(id) will be this.users.get(id)

@sinful lotus or internal sharding
sinful lotus
@topaz fjord Internal sharding is fine up to 10k guilds depending on youur code structure
going more than 10k guilds would be not favorable for internal sharding
calm token
Can someone help me about the script to show the total number of total server where my bot is present
please
earnest phoenix
language and lib?
quartz kindle
@sinful lotus whats the downsides of internal sharding on 10k+ guilds?
sinful lotus
@quartz kindle Javascript itself
quartz kindle
you think node cant handle much more than that?
sinful lotus
yeah single thread limitations but that would depend on your bot functions
if you do a lot of cpu intensive task on your bot without relying on sub process
quartz kindle
ah true, but then you also need a multicore vps
quartz kindle
yeah im on the cheaper side for now
im at 800 guilds
my bot isnt ready for sharding, it needs a rewrite
im thinking if i go for internal or normal sharding
sinful lotus
I dont see you need a reason for sharding if you are less than 1.5k guilds even
quartz kindle
yeah im not gonna do it now
sinful lotus
cluster sharding if you dont mind
for example we have 10k guilds in a bot
it is possible to have 5k guilds in 2 process
its achieved by cluster stuff on sharding
where in 1 process will have 2 internal sharding or websocket connections
so 2.5 + 2.5 = 5k guilds
sinful lotus
it is a good method cause for example I have 10k guilds and I would do normal sharding
I would need 4-5 process on normal sharding to accommodate that
and that would consume more memory due to user caches not being shared
where in on the cluster route
5k guilds can share the same user caches
which will bring you better memory consumption
quartz kindle
yeah
sinful lotus
because you will only need 2 process
vs 4-5 process
but if you want more performance over memory
then traditional is better
quartz kindle
even if running more than 1 process per cpu?
like if you have 4 processes but 2 cpus
sinful lotus
yeah your os would give your 2 process per each core
I run 26 shards on 16 core system
I dont have problems
cpu usage hovers 8-16%
quartz kindle
alright, thanks for the explanation
sinful lotus
no problems

why my bot on discordbots.org have gray dot and question marks? xd

uh, ok thanks

earnest phoenix
don't even attempt internal sharding without zlib-sync + erlpack lol
if we're talking discord.js at least
earnest phoenix
@sinful lotus whaddya mean
sinful lotus
I used zlib-sync + erlpack + bufferutil on my bot
its not internal sharding
but my bot crashed due to heap allocation failure
memory leak
lmao
sinful lotus
I removed zlib-sync but used and kept erlpack + bufferutil
no more leak no reconnects
sinful lotus
same to that
uws caused me a lot of issues
reverting to ws + erlpack & bufferutil was perfect
probably wont change it again

@earnest phoenix Discord.js
earnest phoenix
hey um does anyone here use node.js

just ask your question
earnest phoenix
what do i do if node is saying there's an error on a line that doesn't exist in my code
the text doesn't exist either
it's saying line 109, but my code only goes up to 107
hushed harbor
can you post the code?
earnest phoenix
i also keep having issues with the ending brackets to close off the code, because before it was saying that was the error.
that's the final command, i'm using discord.js
earnest phoenix
I don't know how to fix it
quartz kindle
look closely
earnest phoenix
that's how the brackets were on every other line of the tutorial i followed
quartz kindle
you opened two brackets, but closed only one
earnest phoenix
i think
hushed harbor
}})
hushed harbor
Sometimes you look at it for so long, it takes another set of eyes.
quartz kindle
but its better if the second set of eyes explains/shows the problem, and doesnt just spoonfeed lul
earnest phoenix
it's throwing this error now, did i not do the brackets right?
i didn't even add a semicolon
@calm token your client has a guilds property, it's a collection of all guilds your client is in, just use size on that
quartz kindle
@earnest phoenix that part looks right, maybe you have another open bracket somewhere that you forgot to close
calm token
Okay thanks !
earnest phoenix
I just checked, and all of the brackets are closed off right
It's just this particular one
it's saying there's an error that doesn't even exist
hushed harbor
@earnest phoenix Unexpected End of Input suggests that there could be an extra bracket somewhere
or possibly an open array bracket or parenthetical.
earnest phoenix
I have basically no knowledge of javascript so discord.js was not a good choice for me to start out with apparently
hushed harbor
https://www.robhitt.com/blog/balance-parenthesis-js/
Drop your code into this ugly thing and see what it says
Not 100% foolproof, but it can catch those obvious mistakes
earnest phoenix
The final string is balanced so im gonna check other stuff
hushed harbor
It might make sense to drop the whole file in
fiery birch
yo, you can download an IDE like vscode btw and get a plugin called "Bracket colorizer"
colors pairs of brackets the same so you know if they open and close and stuff
very good and useful
earnest phoenix
I'm using Notepad++, because using Notepad was b a d
I was using basic notepad to make the js files
earnest phoenix
All the individual things are balanced I think
eeeeexcept my commands
frick
i have no idea how to fix this
this is the code im using
i followed a tutorial for the majority of them
because No Javascript Or Discord.JS Experience
hushed harbor
client.on("message", async message => { is never closed
earnest phoenix
do i need to close the parentheses?
fiery birch
you always close parantheses when the function is done
hushed harbor
@fiery birch had the right suggestion. I'm sure there's a good syntax highlighter/linter for Notepad++ that will point out discrepancies. When I get hit with one of these issues, I make a copy of the code in a separate file and start deleting functions until the error is resolved, then add them back one at a time.
fiery birch
client.on("message", async message => { should be client.on("message", async message) => {
i think
idr
really recommend vscode over notepad++ if you're willing to try it tho
earnest phoenix
yeah it T'was Not It
inner jewel
client.on("message", async message) => { is invalid
earnest phoenix
where do the brackets need to be?
fiery birch
wait what should it be @inner jewel
hushed harbor
look around line 95, after the last command function in that set.
hushed harbor
a new client.on("message", (message) => { is started, but the previous one (started at line 25) is never closed with });
earnest phoenix
OH MY GOD IT'S FIXED
god im stupid i forgot about the beginning part
aaaand it crashed because i don't know how to define msg
hushed harbor
It's good practice to write the closing brackets before you start into the the rest.
when you start a function, do something like:
(args)=>{
} //close it right now before you go back and fill in the rest
then just arrow up a few lines and get to it
earnest phoenix
how do I define the msg?
west raptor
client.on('message' msg => {
//...
})```semicolon
west raptor
picky
mossy vine
colon
west raptor
dont need it
mossy vine
client.on('message', msg => {
//...
})```you needed a comma
earnest phoenix
np
inner jewel
)
earnest phoenix
and i’m pretty sure a semicolon is needed at the send of that statement
inner jewel
it isn't
earnest phoenix
oh kay
inner jewel
but i'd recommend using it since JS can sometimes fuck up ASI (automatic semicolon insertion)
earnest phoenix
i just fucked up the code oh my god
hushed harbor
yeah js doesn't care about semicolons. Just pick whether to use them or not, and be consistent.
earnest phoenix
I'm using Discord.JS
do you know javascript
also i still can't figure out how to define msg
mossy vine
we told you
mossy vine
you should learn the language properly first before making a discord bot with it
earnest phoenix
I'm used to using Discord Bot Maker coding systems
you defined message
as the arg
hushed harbor
line 98 is where it's defined.
earnest phoenix
so you need to use message.reply not msg
hushed harbor
everywhere else in that code, you've defined it as message, not msg
earnest phoenix
oh im dumb
have you learned javascript
I haven't touched javascript since i did a basic course that I never finished in seventh grade
hushed harbor
pay attention to the actual errors you're getting. They're usually pretty up-front about what's going on. (x is not defined means you haven't set up that variable.)
if the error is confusing, hit google. (or ask here, these folks seem like a helpful bunch)
+1 code academy to brush up on the basics
hushed harbor
Both are rad. The big thing is making sure you understand why it's failing instead of just fixing.
Then, the next time you get that Unexpected end of input, you'll think Oh hell, I must have dropped a bracket somewhere
earnest phoenix
I know the defining variables thing is important because of a specific error i kept having in GameMaker that I didn't understand until I used my best friend google
oh i forgot to say thank you

lime sluice
Ok so basically
I have a bot thats using Discord.JS
I made a music system, how ever the queue is a bit bugged and I can't seem to fix it
Whats happening is
When you first call the bot, it all works well
but when the bot leaves the channel and the players is destroyed
and you call the bot back.
The songs get stuck in the queue
once the bot has stopped playing the song requested, it'll sit there and not do anything
queue wont even shift
No errors are logged to console.

Why not?

im hovering between 35%-45% cpu usage from what i suspect to be internal sharding

Hello everyone, someone would have an idea to make the bot repeat a phrase that one chooses?

Hi, fellow Hugo
quaint umbra
is there an accepted "best practice" for how to handle a bot not having the permission to speak in a channel?
so far i've just failed silently but i've observed that some people spam a command expecting it to work
and then get frustrated and just kick the bot thinking it's broken
idle basalt
if the bot cant speak theres nothing you can do short of dming them or messaging in another channel
both of which are very annoying
just make sure your bot is well documented and has clear instructions for how to use it and what permissions it needs

Yeh I realized
lusty dew
it is something that helps you load commands from another folder
so you dont have to put all your commands in one file
you can have a command called
hug.js and have the hug command in it
pat.js have the pat command in it
and the command handler loads those commands and makes them usable

Like for python
