@real helm your name was changed because your username contains special characters that would put you on top of the user list
if you change your username into a normal name without special characters, then you can ask a mod to change your name back

real helm
hello
how can I do to put in the bot log of my bot the amount of channels in which they are
idle basalt
depends on your lib
real helm
js
mossy vine
Just loop through the channels and log what you need
real helm
the ammount of discord servers
idle basalt
with discord.js its client.guilds.size and client.channels.size
idle basalt
real helm
wtf
short portal
anyone know an easy image editor for node js? (ping)
idle basalt
canvas probably
client.guilds.map(g => g.name)
learning js will help you write a bot in js lol
https://discordjs.guide you should also check this out
opaque eagle
Great, someone finally recommending discordjs.guide to ppl... I’m fed up with ppl sharing anidiots.guide shit with others
That belongs in the garbage can of discord.js history, not in a help channel
mighty verge
Does anyone know what static website generator/theme discordjs.guide uses if it uses any. I'd love to use it for my bot it looks very nice
earnest phoenix
em
mighty verge
Looks like it, thanks 😄
opaque eagle
It just gives large codeblocks of code and than tiny bits of explanations at the bottom
And most ppl just copy-paste that code
idle basalt
cant really fault the writers for the inability of their readers
opaque eagle
I mean I don’t blame them... if I were that dumb and I saw someone giving “free codes” for cool shit like star boards and tracking used invites, I’d copy-paste it too
idle basalt
when i was getting started i never even knew there was an official guide so i learned from aig and shudder tsc/plexi
opaque eagle
But the writers should be held responsible for the consequences of their site
Plus the stuff that aig makes pages for r just basic logic that any real dev should be able to write
Look at that junk... JSON and Enmap shouldn’t even be taught cuz of how shitty they are, and the rest are just bait for those suffering from imposter syndrome
Forgot this was #development, sorry
Also last bit of criticism, GitBook, really? That shit is slow af
idle basalt
man what have evie and york done to you
opaque eagle
Also last last last bit I swear, it has guides on how to host on fucking Heroku and Glitch
idle basalt
i agree that json should only be written about to tell people that its NOT a database but enmap is fine and all the other topics are popular
why wouldnt they write about what people find popular
heroku is also fine, i dont know why everyone hates it so much
opaque eagle
Enmap is popular? Enmap is pretty much keyv but worse
opaque eagle
Loading an entire dB into memory is a dumb idea
I mean Enmap was flawed from the start
It’s another piece of bait for beginners to get caught on... poor fellas can’t manage to escape it
idle basalt
its a decent starter database
idle basalt
it would be nice if they taught people how to use something like mongo though
opaque eagle
Not a database... again if you want simple key/value storage why not use keyv
idle basalt
and then also had a tut on hosting a remote db
ivory hazel
there are countless video's
it works tho
gets the job done
like i mean, if something works for some people, then great! they must use that
opaque eagle
Users having trouble with keyv can get support from a much larger and well-maintained library and a well-built community than just a small bunch of weirdos
ivory hazel
just cause it doesnt work for you then meh
idle basalt
calm down my guy. we get it, you really hate york and evie
ivory hazel
me .. lol i dont xD
opaque eagle
That’s not the case with Enmap, you have to rely on Evie’s good graces cuz virtually no one of trustworthiness uses it
ivory hazel
i dont hate
idle basalt
not you spiky
opaque eagle
I don’t hate them... I just wish they did better
ivory hazel
oof
opaque eagle
Look, when discordjs.guide got out, York should’ve archived anidiots.guide...
idle basalt
honestly my biggest problem with them is that evie is very selective with her help
ivory hazel
couldnt agree more
idle basalt
but if youre not mega stupid she can be helpful
ivory hazel
with eslint statement
idle basalt
best part of the djs guide is the page on eslint no cap
opaque eagle
Exactly... with keyv, it’s not like that
ivory hazel
i didnt even bother trying enmap and that stuff
opaque eagle
Discordjs.guide is reviewed and maintained by multiple valued members of the djs community... aig on the other hand is run by evie and York and is ultimately subject to their opinion and their opinion only
ivory hazel
but i am learning mysql atm
@opaque eagle what database do you use?
i tried using firebase the other day, and it just didnt work xD
ivory hazel
i have to learn it for school
idle basalt
ive been putting off learning mongo for the longest time oof
ivory hazel
so i might aswell learn it
opaque eagle
MySQL is fine
ivory hazel
@idle basalt there some great video's online
opaque eagle
Fire base imo I don’t see myself using it but if u have to learn it for school you’ve got no option
idle basalt
firebase seems cool
opaque eagle
It’s pretty restrictive and it’s noSQL, and ur data is subject to Google’s privacy policy
wooden prawn
I use MYSQL, I don't see much point in using anything else (also I don't much choice on my server)
ivory hazel
firebase didnt work for me xD i was messing around, trying to get it to work, but i was having issues
opaque eagle
Fire base is really only meant for front end sites
idle basalt
yea
ivory hazel
i was experimenting xD
opaque eagle
You really should avoid using it
idle basalt
im gonna try it for auth on my website
ivory hazel
gave up xD
opaque eagle
Lol
ivory hazel
but i try to go with free as much as i can, cause in my country, everything is really expensive
the good thing, we getting AWS in 2020
opaque eagle
If you’ve got a VPS you can do whatever u want in it
Heck you could even use Redis or pg, which is cool
copper cradle
hmm
ivory hazel
the price for a decent VPS per month is $25 to $50, that is for 3gb ram and 2 vCPU xD
copper cradle
oof
ivory hazel
that is south africa
everything is shit expensive
but ive given up. i ordered some server stuff, gonna run a server closet at home xD
wooden prawn
Daaaaamn
opaque eagle
Lmao gl
copper cradle
lol
opaque eagle
Also you can check out some of the options in the pins, they’re pretty cheap @ivory hazel
Much cheaper than $25
ivory hazel
the problem is, nothing is in south africa
opaque eagle
Wait just to be clear $ refers to USD here right?
opaque eagle
Yeah then why bother... with DO is roughly $5/mo
In USD
And price won’t vary by country
If it’s a physical product being shipped to u, sure, rates might differ
ivory hazel
its R14.58 per 1$, so $5 is R72... that wont even get me a McD's burger xD
maybe a small one xD
opaque eagle
Oh
quartz kindle
you can get a vps from any country, doesnt need to be yours

well then rip
shy rose
server region only applies to voice
and voice for music at least doesn't really matter the latency
latency only really affects you for real time chatting
fading wigeon
@shy rose it doesnt
it also affects text
and the latency does matter
instable latency can cause distortion and weird artifacts
especially with opus
shy rose
@fading wigeon text servers are all US based (central discord) afik
voice servers are the only applicable part
fading wigeon
not so sure about that
their status display shows voice servers yes
but ive seen messages react differently when selecting different regions
shy rose
hence when you connect a to vc you get given a vc IP in the region you connect to
how ever the websocket you chat over all runs to the same place
its also insupport reffered to as voice region https://support.discordapp.com/hc/en-us/articles/216661717-How-do-I-change-my-Voice-Server-Region-
@fading wigeon if you know/find anything about text region would be good to know so can load balance it out nicly but so far only seen for voice
also when US dies all servers normaly die
fading wigeon
yeah since us servers handle load balancing
ill see if i find something
might message discord idk
shy rose
*meant load balancing out bot hosting sry
cause currently the strategy for low latency is jam all the hosting in to the most centeral discord area possible
fading wigeon
lol
i think it connects to the nearest endpoint anyway
and thru it to the central servers
shy rose
aka make it the biggest central point of failure possible
fading wigeon
they use cloudflare for a reason
shy rose
ws all resolves to same place with i believe cf just fowards it
cf will make it way nicer for them 😛
shy rose
yeah ik i love it
shy rose
lol
fading wigeon
yeah tbh they should do something about their server structure
shy rose
found a fun one the animated server icons if they are big enough always result in a miss
so on a mega server i was on they avg 250GB per hour sending the always miss icon which is
shy rose
i mean when ever discord has a db failure the entire thing topples
except vc lol
you can still talk to people and ask if they can talk in chat
shy rose
you cant connect or leave though which is odd you cant leave
fading wigeon
they enforce sharding for bot creators but dont do it themselves
kind of ironic
its not that hard too
shy rose
it is kind of hard for real time chat tbh
fading wigeon
might result in a bit more traffic between data centers because of data references but still
shy rose
nah its really hard
fading wigeon
its not as hard as u think
shy rose
they already run clusters and shards
fading wigeon
there are solutions for it
shy rose
i mention specifically for real time chat
fading wigeon
having an internal bit-torrent like system for example
shy rose
like in normal semi realtime systems you can do rolling aggregation clusters which works amazing but the moment you bring realtime in it really starts to hit the fan
shy rose
cause thats still really hard
shy rose
if both pairs reviece an event at same time aka 2 people in diff part of world
then its question of who gets presence
if they use p2p for the whole network seen that somewhere cant remember its name but you end up with no chat history
and also tons of script kiddies trying to dos one another
fading wigeon
you could
and yes that might also happen
but still
the history thing wont be a problem if they use custom cachers to support the network
the only problem i see is privacy
shy rose
if you bring cachers in then your back to same issue
shy rose
if 2 people send message at same time each to a different cluster then who has presidence
fading wigeon
so new users have a bit of context
also member lists wont exist lol
none
the tasker will handle it
fading wigeon
no it wont exist
it cant exist
it will come down to the client then
to decide which message will be first
shy rose
also interesting thing discord has tried and does have a form of rolling aggregation
fading wigeon
decision will probably be made according to current cluster connection
fading wigeon
did you know the recaptcha for new temp accounts is just a local form dummy?
shy rose
but also why you cant bulk delete past 2 weeks as they are no longer on hot
shy rose
what do you mean sry?
fading wigeon
and the client glitches
do u know u can create temporary unregistered discord accounts?
shy rose
bulk delete past 2 weeks
is the idea of fetch then send single delete evens
fading wigeon
by going to discord.gg
shy rose
its a 300 now
fading wigeon
wha?
shy rose
it just redirects
lofty hamlet
Hi
fading wigeon
yeah
shy rose
301 or 302 i didnt have tools open
fading wigeon
but everything else is a cname
shy rose
hello
lofty hamlet
fading wigeon
if you dont have a request for it it redirects to main
shy rose
cname is very diff from 300 lol
lofty hamlet
Who can help me ?

@lofty hamlet does it give you line number?
lofty hamlet
It's all 😉
When i use includes
Wtf
const switcher = message.content.slice(prefix.length).trim().split(/ +/g); switch (switcher[0].toLowerCase()) {
My switch if you want
For the case
shy rose
ah ik this
mainly cause just hainvg this issue 5min ago on another project lol
if you do a double split then you get a null entry

alright

you get empties

Was the webhook running before or was it just never running?

Yeah, sorry I couldnt solve the issue 😬

Ports pls
never forget to open ports
a webhook will never work if your ports are closed

And I got like 1000+ different results
ivory pebble
Really weird
sinful lotus
start from figuring out what is your firewall
ivory pebble
This webhook used to work last week
I'm so confused
port 22 works
I mean, port 22 is open
earnest phoenix
port 22 is your ssh port. try avoid using ports 1-1024, most are reserved for common services
sinful lotus
lmao why cant you just learn to open port
we are pointing you to the right direction
sinful lotus
we all started from I dont know how to
we just have the drive to learn and explore
why dont you try that
I cant spoonfeed you how because every system is not same
sinful lotus
reading without comprehending is useless too
ivory pebble
Is there a way to do have webhooks without using ports?
earnest phoenix
@ivory pebble open your router settings and look for a tab called Port Forwarding
webhooks need to be accessible to the public which is why your port that the webservice (apache im assuming) is listening on needs to be open
ivory pebble
Sorry, I really don't have that much knowledge about VPSs

An empty hastebin, half of an error message, and the wrong piece of code?
hushed berry
lmfao

@lofty hamlet show the error in console

if (!message.mentions.users.size) {
return message.reply('You have to mention a member to fight them!');
}
var opponent = message.mentions.users.first();
return message.reply(opponent.username)
}
});
I'm trying to make my own fight command. It does say You have to mention a member to fight them! if there is no mention, but there isn't any message if a user is messaged.
No console error message.
mossy vine
because message.mentions.users.size is 0
shy turret
I'm going to try something first
how do I fix it?
it also seems like it isn't allowing to pass any args
wait I think I what I messed up and how to fix it
I used message.content so any args wouldn't work
if (message.content.startsWith('s!fight')) {
fixed it
my code was right
it was just the message.content
earnest phoenix
@shy turret what ?
shy turret
nvm

@lofty hamlet
- That HasteBin is empty.

you dont need the {}
just because of how richembed constructors work

if the code is okay

aa okay, and what
leaden gust
Also you have an extra scope for no reason I believe
Like you have a pair of {} inside your catch that don't seem to do anything
that won't cause an error but yknow
leaden gust
Right, which makes sense, it's a scope
most languages will accept it
i just wouldn't want him double-scoping every try catch block for some reason because this code works

I think you're using async because that should work on rewrite.
It's saying you're missing the ctx argument
fiery stream
lol im learning from lucas new tut videos
and i believe he is using the latest one rn
thats what he said
earnest phoenix
here we have it boys, the golden combo, youtube tutorials and not knowing the language whatsoever
jolly sentinel
lmao
fiery stream
cry just help if u want to or dont reply to my stuff
earnest phoenix
just me telling you to not use youtube tutorials and to learn the language you're working in is helpful
slender thistle
Lucas tutorials...
earnest phoenix
to your sanity
jolly sentinel
That tutorial is probably using async
slender thistle
Sounds about as shit as it can get
fiery stream
oh uh
fiery stream
so should i not watch him
west spoke
Yeah for async search "discord.py bot devdungeon"
jolly sentinel
You should probably get a basic understanding on the language first
west spoke
That's what I did
slender thistle
Learn the language, read the docs
west spoke
^
slender thistle
Two things
jolly sentinel
which is a heaping load of irony seeing as how my first bot was how i learned the language but whatever
fiery stream
A!eval message.author.send("getlife")
fiery stream
--upgrade
west spoke
pip install discord==0.16.12
(async)
pip install discord
(Latest)
fiery stream
so which one should i do
jolly sentinel
I remember having a horrible time trying to install discord.py-rewrite
slender thistle
-U for update
slender thistle
discord-rewrite is shit
fiery stream
Successfully installed aiohttp-3.5.4 attrs-19.1.0 discord.py-1.1.1 idna-ssl-1.1.0 typing-extensions-3.7.2 websockets-6.0 yarl-1.3.0```cuz it wasn't even official
jolly sentinel
isn't every tutorial on yt under async
fiery stream
is that what i need
slender thistle
Yes
jolly sentinel
i mean
slender thistle
And yes
jolly sentinel
they might not be good
fiery stream
so there we go i made progress
jolly sentinel
but whatever
fiery stream
finally it replied thx

i already tried:
if(!message.content.startsWith(prefix)||message.content.startsWith("<@" + bot.user.id + ">")) return;
client.on('message', async message => {
let messageArray = message.content.split(" ")
let cmd = messageArray[0].toLowerCase();

let commandfile = bot.commands.get(cmd.slice(prefix.length)) || bot.commands.get(bot.aliases.get(cmd.slice(prefix.length)))
if(commandfile) commandfile.run(bot,message,args)
});
only &&help work
opaque eagle
The mention doesn't work, right?
idle basalt
you need another !
opaque eagle
^
warm sail
! message.content.startsWith(prefix) || message.content.startsWith("<@" + bot.user.id + "> ")
will be false when your prefix is not present or when the mention is present
opaque eagle
You need another ! after || @lapis meteor
warm sail
^ (actually you need to use && ! instead of ||)
idle basalt
or you need to group the conditions and keep one !
opaque eagle
I do an overkill thing lol
idle basalt
or use arr.includes
opaque eagle
["!", `<@${client.user.id}>`].every(e => !msg.content.startsWith(e))```lol
warm sail
Why not encrypt a bitmap with the matching bytes and run it through a block chain?
idle basalt
i think you mean .some btw
opaque eagle
No, I mean every()
idle basalt
doesnt every check if everything passes 🤔
opaque eagle
If I used some() it'll return true and then it will stop running the code
warm sail
every is correct, because of the negated startsWith

How do i make the background on discord bots list to black
warm sail
There's a dark-mode switch in the footer, if that's what you're looking for
earnest phoenix
where at the bottom?
mossy vine
on your bots page or the entire website?
earnest phoenix
bots page
mossy vine
use style tags in long description
earnest phoenix
how do i do that i am not smart with html
warm sail
<div style="background-color:black"> .... </div>
mossy vine
in long description, just do
<style>
css code here or something
</style>```or that but it will only be inside that one div
which is meh at best when using light mode on the website

i cant install better sqlite 3
i hardly installed enmap and quick.db

ps in the code before you could've done this
if(!(message.content.startsWith(prefix) || message.content.startsWith("<@" + bot.user.id + "> "))) return;```Is anyone here familiar with webpack?
wait I'll try something I'll get back if it doesn't work

Ofc all JavaScript devs know what webpack is, it's just that not everyone has enough practice using it

I'm having trouble using it with createjs

What is the HEX code for the invis color on embeds?
west spoke
You just use the color of the embed
lapis meteor
@warm sail No because prefix = message guild's prefix
@opaque eagle your first proposition didn't work
warm sail
Are you still having issues?
warm sail
if (!message.content.startsWith(prefix) || message.content.startsWith("<@" + bot.user.id + "> ")) return;
@lapis meteor what exactly do you expect this part of the code to do?
As it is, it will call return if message.content.startsWith(prefix) is false. It will also call return if message.content.startsWith("<@" + bot.user.id + "> ") is true.
warm sail
kk. g'night

thx but i'm not going to sleep

earnest phoenix
How do i make my web page for the bot say how many servers it in?

Use the API
Or you can check out some of the official client libraries
It’s on the website

Click the “API” option in the navigation bar up top
earnest phoenix
Help my #topgg-api

Hmm
restive light
why uploading a bot is sucking like that x358634643643374 times?
Detailed description too short. Minimum 300 characters. Add your commands. Spaces or empty spaces are not counted.
I must write something to detailed description?
buoyant wagon
write what the commands are and how to use them

thats why it says its required
also pls dont
it shouldnt be hard to describe a bot that you made
just say some of its features and shit

@indigo geyser Both GCP and AWS provide Free VPS options with certain limitations. AWS' Free Option is only for a year though. Both aren't anything great, but they're fine for small-scale projects. Give them a try
If you're planning on doing anything big though, you may want to look elsewhere
indigo geyser
Ok thanks

shy rose
adding to that both aws and gcp have free inbound data which is great as around 98% of all data you use on a bot is inbound

you would read the channel messages then get the message with that id then get its content

Unexpected { at `fs.writeFile("./blacklist.json", JSON.stringify(bc)).catch(err){`lol
I think you put , instead of .catch in that idk
mossy vine
the code snippet seems right, you most likely have an unclosed statement somewhere else in the code
@earnest phoenix no that makes no sense
earnest phoenix
kay
okay
@mossy vine well for me it works like , (err) => {} or somethin but yeah catch should work too I agree 
mossy vine
its because you are doing a callback
earnest phoenix
Yis
mossy vine
but this is a promise
earnest phoenix
Okae
mossy vine
so a .catch is what you need
earnest phoenix
ok
I forgot nothing to close
if (bc[iduser]) {
delete bc[iduser];
message.channel.send(`**✅ L'identifiant ${iduser} à été retiré de la liste noire avec succès.**`);
fs.writeFile("./blacklist.json", JSON.stringify(bc)).catch(err){

console.log(err)
}
}
}else{
message.channel.send(`**❌ L\'identifiant ${iduser} n'est pas dans la liste noire.**`);
}```if only you indented the code properly it would be easier to read and find errors

i cant read that code at all, please use a linter or something to have proper indentation
and no, i dont see it
likely outside of the scope
it can be anywhere tbf

thats not how .catch works
.catch(err => { code here }) not .catch(err){ code here }

I use const result = async () => { await require('discord.js').Util.fetchRecommendedShards(process.env.TOKEN);
quartz kindle
why not use the already required discord.js?
earnest phoenix
how i can make command that can use only developer
but i return result() { return _ref.apply(this, arguments); }
P.S. i made it already
quartz kindle
i dont understand your code, but i did it like this js const Discord = require("discord.js"); const shards = Discord.fetchRecommendedShards(token)
quartz kindle
@earnest phoenix i was replying to FellGill

if you want to lock commands, you can lock them to your ID for example

const manager = new Discord.ShardingManager('./src/index.js');
