I dont see a ping command in /ping
#development
sinful lotus
cant tell, I dont see you are making an embed in ping command
frosty juniper
its sending a blank embed for all commands
sinful lotus
well I cant tell the root code, but probably due to the code being unorganized to a big degree
and something is getting executed even it shoudnt due to more than 4(?) message events
and mixed timeouts, mixed promises with hard to read indent
I would start from reorganizing and refactoring the code to one client.on message only
dont forget to indent properly
split lantern
@frosty juniper Get a linter
frosty juniper
its okay , i found the bug .
the anime search command was returning an empty embed

Btw Alex, you should have your token in a json file
{
"token": "your token here"
}
then in your main file:
const token = require('../your destination')
and instead use
client.login(token.token);

and his is full of times
ember flame
Who can I contact for my bot being denied for bot reviewing incompetency
slender thistle
Website mod who declined it
ember flame
I clearly stated that the bot requires permissions in the submission
But it was given no permissions
therefore it fucked up
happened 2 times
sinful lotus
dm the website mod
slender thistle
If a bot is required to have a certain permission in order to execute a certain command, that's understandable. I don't think making all commands require server permissions (even the fun ones) is a good idea.
sinful lotus
thats the best shot you get right now
or better make your bot say the missing perms exactly
so the mod wont mess it up
pale marsh
Also never have Admin or Manager Server as your bot perms. It's way unsafe
ember flame
I dm'd Oliy#0330.
I have it request administrator for utility commands in the future
pale marsh
Trust me, whatever you want to achieve can be done with so many perms other than Admin
ember flame
I didn't know who verified bots
sinful lotus
also they wont give your bot admin perms
sinful lotus
no one will
ember flame
ohhh
sinful lotus
you need to specify exactly what perms it needs
sinful lotus
and you need to make the bot say that perms it needs that is missing

How can I get one invite link usng the server id?
I'm using this but I'm getting not found unknown channel.
@client.command(pass_context=True)
async def teszt1(ctx, *, sid):
server = client.get_server(sid)
invite = await client.create_invite(server, max_uses=1)
await client.say(invite)
cursive dagger
You have to create a invite to a channel if i am correct
lime fiber
Docs says this: destination â The Server or Channel to create the invite to.
pale marsh
Also I think sid is string not int
Try to convert it
Unless discord.py works with strings, but I doubt it
lime fiber
There is no problem with get_server the problem starting with create_invite
slender thistle
How do you create an invite without a channel
pale marsh
Then make sure your bot has permission to create an invite
I think it defaults to the default channel
AKA the first one returned by the api
lime fiber
It has permissions. And I don't know the channel I'm just know the server id and name.
slender thistle
Default channel... those don't exist anymore
lime fiber
But it says I can create an invite using the server. : destination â The Server or Channel to create the invite to.
pale marsh
You're using rewrite right?
lime fiber
I'm using discord.py 0.16.12
pale marsh
Oh
pale marsh
I keep forgetting lol
lime fiber
I know it, but the docs is for 0.16.12
slender thistle
Kef, not everything is a Client method on rewrite+
pale marsh
I'm not fully familiar with rewrite yet shiv
@lime fiber that's because you're reading 0.16 docs lol
lime fiber
And I'm using 0.16
slender thistle
Just a heads up
warm flame
oof 0.16
slender thistle
Well.
Unknown channel
I wonder why you are getting such error when d.py tries to get a default channel
This honestly looks shady, though.
warm flame
what does
pale marsh
Try making the destination a channel in the guild object then
slender thistle
Why do you want to create an invite to a server through your bot
pale marsh
like server.channels[0] or whatever is equivalent
lime fiber
ok, I'll try thanks
This code worked for me đ
@client.command(pass_context=True)
async def teszt1(ctx, *, sid):
server = client.get_server(sid)
csatlista = list(server.channels)
for x in range(len(csatlista)):
csati = csatlista[x-1]
invite = await client.create_invite(csati, max_uses=1)
await client.say(invite)
iteration through server channels
Though that loop is just pointless
It legit just looks like a reinvented wheel version of server.channels[-2]
pale marsh
Yeah was about to say that lol

let attachment = new Discord.Attachment(profile.toBuffer(), 'retarded_dog.png')
message.channel.send(attachment)
}
i assume you have an index/main file where you do something like const/let args = ...
send the line where args gets declared
latent oasis
wait pls
const args = message.content.slice(bot.config.prefix.length).trim().split(/ +/g);
latent oasis
lol
fixed by ading
message.content.split(" ").slice(1).join(" ");
it is better than check length of args

I've got another problem đ
So here is my code which is getting me invite links.
It's working, but it creates link to voice channels. But I want text channels. How can I do it?
@client.command(pass_context=True)
async def teszt1(ctx, *, sid):
i = 1
server = client.get_server(sid)
csatlista = list(server.channels)
for x in range(len(csatlista)):
csati = csatlista[x-0]
invite = await client.create_invite(csati, max_uses=1)
await client.say(invite)
What you could do is access the api directly or use something in rewrite
if channel.type
pale marsh
In the loop itself check if the channel is text channel then break the loop
west spoke
I just access it directly in case I need other stuff since async doesnt have is_nsfw()
low dragon
Ima step away since I know nothin' about coding.
west spoke
learn kthx
low dragon
Nope kty.
lime fiber
i used this: ```py
@client.command(pass_context=True)
async def teszt1(ctx, *, sid):
i = 1
server = client.get_server(sid)
csatlista = list(server.channels)
for x in range(len(csatlista)):
csati = csatlista[x-i]
while True:
if not csati.type == 'Text':
for x in range(len(csatlista)):
print(i)
csati = csatlista[x-i]
i += 1
else:
break
invite = await client.create_invite(csati, max_uses=1)
await client.say(invite)
What's wrong with it? The terminal looks like this:That server has got text channels!
pale marsh
3 for loops?
lime fiber
oof
slender thistle
Honestly
hushed quarry
yeah that's incredibly inefficient
lime fiber
very funy

Async doesn't have text_channels does it
inner jewel
loop server.channels -> if is text -> use it -> break
hollow zealot
i have a question do any of u know how to connect a discord bot with faceit

It still return error in the terminal ```py

server = client.get_server(sid)
csatlista = list(server.channels)
for x in range(len(csatlista)):
csati = csatlista[x-i]
if not csati.type == discord.ChannelType.text:
for x in range(len(csatlista)):
print(i)
csati = csatlista[x-i]
i += 1
else:
print('Text channel talĂĄlva!')
invite = await client.create_invite(csati, max_uses=1)
await client.say(invite)
break
IndexError?
lime fiber
yep
hushed quarry
add print statements to your code and debug it
print out i, print out csatlista, etc. to figure out why it's going out of the list
pale marsh
I'm pretty sure all of this can be done with one for loop
lime fiber
This is the terminal. It won't stop when it finds a text channel.
hushed quarry
if you have a text channel, then break out of the loop
lime fiber
I've an else with a break in it.
hushed quarry
you have a logic error then because I don't see the thing being printed out
lime fiber
I'm just printed the i
It is getting voice channels and thats I need this to get text channels.
slender thistle
I believe I provided a decent way to do that but apparently he didn't want to use it
Would need a separate list of text channels, then random.choice. How to get first and last text channels should be obvious
real helm
alternatives to change this?

leaden gust
So I've been looking into sharding on discord.js, mostly out of curiosity, and I'm kinda confused . Reading this https://discordjs.guide/sharding/ it kinda sounds like shards all have to run on the same machine, as opposed to say, deploying multiple shards across a network of connected computers? If so that's a shame, cuz I was thinking it would be fun to just have shards spawn and despawn in some sort of container orchestration thing like swarm
leaden gust
Well it's not worth it with most bot's scale but just as a thought experiment i'm wondering if it's possible, cause the discord.js code just seems like it'll try to spawn a number of processes equal to the # of shards you need and that's it
split lantern
internal-sharding - 1 Process, d.js handels it all internally
sharding - 1 master process, each shard is a sub process ( no shared memory, aka you need broadcastEva l )
manual-sharding - you specify shard count and id can be split up over multiple Computers but good luck getting data from other shards
leaden gust
oh cool
But yeah then you can't communicate across shards right
cuz it's designed for inter-process communication there's no way for them to talk over the lan
split lantern
on one pc you can use broadcastEval wich works trough IPC iirc
sendkng strings / JSON.stringified Stuff
leaden gust
Yeah that plain wouldn't work then you're gonna need some sort of messaging system for your bots to synchronize for any kind of big bot
omg what if you used a dedicated discord server
where shards can send each other messages using their shardId
ahaah that'd be glorious
split lantern
If you are really bored you may procedd
leaden gust
wouldn't that be amazing, a single bot posting messages every few seconds to itself in an otherwise empty server
split lantern
Sounds like ratelimit fun and also dont forget accsesing a guild from another shard is g onna be hard
split lantern
smthng like new Discord.Client({shardId: 0, shardCount: 2}) should do it ( for starting manual shards in diffrent processes )
leaden gust
think i'll drop by the discord.js guys and ask them how their sharding would work out over a network
i expect to be ignored
split lantern
Websockets or MQTT ( e.g https://emitter.io/ ) could be something
hushed berry
do your shards need any intercommunication?
leaden gust
It's a thought experiment, but yes they would absolutely need to communicate
hushed berry
also 1 sec lemme finish up this wot battle lol
okay, so
in what way would they need to communicate
leaden gust
Well let's see:
- Each node needs to ping every other node when it goes up/down, i suppose you could do a heartbeat thing
- Each node needs to know its id, and every other node's id, and they all need to be unique
If it can do that, that's already okay. Keep in mind my different instances can share a filesystem but i'm reluctant to use files for obvious reasons
hushed berry
Why do they need to be able to heartbeat each other? 
@leaden gust
Shouldnt that be the responsibility of the container orchestration system?
leaden gust
I need the bot processes to heartbeat each other, not the containers. The bots aren't aware of the swarm's state
leaden gust
Uh, to make it short, right now i have a single bot that parses a config file, and if it's split across multiple instances, each instance needs to know which part of the file it's allowed to parse. Also if a new shard arrives or a shard leaves, everyone needs to recalculate that
hushed berry
That is incredibly vague
Couldnt you jsut use the shard ID to parse that fraction of the file or something like that
A ton more resilient and no communication needed
leaden gust
What if I come in as shard 3 but then shard 2 bails tho
hushed berry
It's kinda hard to say since youve been incredibly vague
leaden gust
Also if another shard spawns after me i need to know that somehow
hushed berry
Why tho?
scarlet phoenix
Im confused why some shards use different configs yet share a singular config file
warm marsh
Does anyone know if you make the bots presence to be your spotify??
scarlet phoenix
This sounds like a job for some k8s
hushed berry
I use k8s for my bot
scarlet phoenix
Same
hushed berry
Works well enough for my 512 shards
scarlet phoenix
I use it at work, so it was not a hassle to setup. Although I doubt my bot needs it at only 15 shards
hushed berry
It's convenient for scaling, really
If your bot already works well on k8s, you're pretty much good
all you have to do is add more machines lol
scarlet phoenix
for sure, it is really nice if you have a micro service style architecture as well
leaden gust
My bot fetches realtime streams from twitter accounts. Those twitter accounts are described in a file. Two instances can't fetch tweets from the same account, so I need to make sure every single shard is aware of which part of the file it's in charge of, and if an instance drops out everyone needs to take care of part of that work.
hushed berry
This sounds like the wrong way to go about doing this
scarlet phoenix
do you use a front end for your k8s? I have been trying out rancer and its... ok i guess
leaden gust
Which part of that
hushed berry
Having the tweets be pulled from the bot processes
hushed berry
Perhaps what you could do is register a stream for all the twitter accounts being listened to on that shard
leaden gust
anyway, i guess you could decouple it and have a separate process to do that work but then i still need to communicate with my shards
Right but how do i know which twitter accounts to listen to on each shard
scarlet phoenix
Make a separate service that does this independant of the bot. Then have the bot just hit that
At least thats how id do it
leaden gust
But then I STILL need to communicate with my shards lol
hushed berry
I'm not too familiar with how you have it setup so its hard to say
scarlet phoenix
If you dont want two to fetch from the same account.
- Any shard requests a random chunk of accounts
- Give them some and mark those accounts to the shard ID they were given to
- Only ever give them out to that shard.
hushed berry
It's kinda overcomplicated, really
scarlet phoenix
You could add a system arround that assignment. Making the extra service the source of truth for who gets what
leaden gust
It is overcomplicated, that's the entire point, I'm wondering how it could be done
scarlet phoenix
The shards are completely unaware.
Separation of concerns is a great thing to try to do when making something this complex
hushed berry
It also makes it ridiculously prone to failure
scarlet phoenix
Let one entity control them rather than delegating it to many sources
hushed berry
And adds a single point of failure đ¤ˇ
leaden gust
So the solution to sharding across a network when you need them to communicate is "never, ever do it,just write external subroutines to manage them"
scarlet phoenix
Not always
leaden gust
cuz it kinda sounds like that
scarlet phoenix
but in this case I think it works
hushed berry
No, you're just approaching the problem from a perspective that makes it difficult under those circumstances
leaden gust
Well ok, how would you make shards communicate over a network normally then
Cuz my use case is pretty simple, I just need shards to be able to send like, a ping to each other
not text data or anything
hushed berry
No, your use case isn't pretty simple at all
Shard rebalancing is like, not simple at all
What I would suggest doing is having each shard run a realtime feed for the guilds its on
You could just query the followed twitter accounts at startup for the guilds that shard is on
leaden gust
Hmmmmmmmmm but then I have a problem where if 2 separate guilds want the same twitter feed twitter might tell me to go fuck myself
I think
hushed berry
How so?
leaden gust
I did think of that tho it is pleasant to think about
hushed berry
You could just listen to a unique set of twitter accounts
leaden gust
Idk I'm wondering, I think that's how their enterprise api works, kinda like sharding
it'd be like 2 shards posting to the same channel
scarlet phoenix
Could you just make a twitter service that does all of the feed stuff. Shards are now completely agnostic to all feeds and just ask the service for the info they need.
Then this service is the singular point to twitter
no worrying about stepping on toes?
hushed berry
Tbh, the services dont even need to be connected to the shards
I'm assuming its just sending messages
scarlet phoenix
By connected I mean an api facing the bot in general
leaden gust
Yeah I think tha's the best solution
Decouple the twitter part into a central process, write some handshake protocols for shards where they say "Hey here's a list of channels I can see, give me my tweets"
leaden gust
Do shards know when their scope grows/shrinks? Like when they lose or gain access to channels
cuz they still need to be able to poll it every so often
scarlet phoenix
Depending on what lib you use. just check how many guilds/channels you are in.
leaden gust
yeah, that's real shoddy tho, especially if they're rebalanced often
aw man i guess sharding across a network is a mess for my bot
it's possible twitter's enterprise api solves those problems, i haven't looked into that extensively yet
hushed berry
It doesnt really look to be the case
leaden gust
words can't express how sad I am
well thanks for participating in my thought experiment, i guess if my bot grows i'll just get a bigger vps :3
the main issue is that i don't just do the usual "get a message -> process data -> respond to it" workflow, since most of my input is actually spontaneous and comes from an external source (twitter)
... i just realized this is still a problem even if it's not over a network tho it's less of a problem
opaque eagle
So I want to have a feature in my bot that allows my users to store an array of numbers, but what would be the most intuitive way to add/remove numbers from that array?

if you have issues with a specific bot, find their support server (click the button named "Support Server" on their DBL page). this channel is for bot development messages. #memes-and-media or #general if you're not here for bot development
opaque eagle
Not the programming logic
I wanna know what's the neatest most elegant way to get the user input..
like where to add and what to add, whether to replace the entire list with new values or append a value at the end, or add a value in the middle, etc
I don't want the command to be unbelievably long, but I also want users to edit the values quickly
earnest phoenix
@opaque eagle if u dont have plans to do special queries
u can save the entire array as numbers separated with commas
Or if u feel fancy
U make a table for arrays
arrays_tbl
arrayId | discordId
and then a table called arrays_val
arrayId | arrayVal
if u dont want the users to have multiple arrays
u can probs make a table like this
opaque eagle
I have a feeling you guys still donât get what Iâm asking
earnest phoenix
discordId | arrayVal
opaque eagle
Idc about the code/storage behind it
What would the âUIâ look like for a command that allows a user to edit an array of numbers on Discord

how to cache users my bot has
glacial dew
How big is your bot / how many users
earnest phoenix
well, this server has 50k members
sinful lotus
also what is your lib
glacial dew
I use redis, or just storing it in memory
sinful lotus
.fetch()
glacial dew
yeet
sinful lotus
on clientOptions there should be fetchAll
earnest phoenix
client.users.fetch() ?
earnest phoenix
master
sinful lotus
https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/typedef/ClientOptions // fetchAllMembers
just set that to true
no need to do client.users.fetch()
pale marsh
@earnest phoenix loop over the server members and check if they have the role or not
earnest phoenix
any quicker way? The server has 12,000+ members
pale marsh
I don't think so. Run through the cached members though, don't request each member from the api
Unless discord.net's DiscordRole object has like a list object of members with that role
sinful lotus
I dont think there is a quicky way but if you would do that make sure thats async

const command = args.shift().toLowerCase();
if(message.content === '@cerulean pasture') {

I want the bots not to be able to respond, so they can not use the bot command

Thanks @mossy vine

message.author.bot // Use

@earnest phoenix first of all, dont create a database every time the command runs

anyone knows dpy? I need to know how to detect spam messages

depends
ruby dust
I was about to ask like what kind of spam exactly
deep creek
I know that it is inside the event (on_message) but IDK to detect it
like this

do you know how?
ruby dust
so duplicate messages
ruby dust
on_message is only a discord event, that's pretty much all you need if you know the basics of python
deep creek
so how to make it? đ
ruby dust
additionally, I don't know if there's a way to access discord.py's internal message cache, otherwise you can just make your own cache and implement certain checks if it falls under "spam"
ruby dust
you don't know how to build a cache system?
do you at least know anything about variables?

Does anyone know of Discord sharding databases?( Good or pretty decent ones)
Like Redis
Or
inner jewel
define "discord sharding database"
slim heart
Like a good database for shardingÂż
Cuz it really isnât much different than without sharding
reef jacinth
Stuff like Enmap (for js), Quick.db and KeyV probably don't really work on multiple shards because its partially based on cache
amber fractal
I sharded with enmap by running it in a different file
But I dont use it anymore because it was shit
And not really a db
split lantern
Enmap older verisons allowed to use postgres / mysql / redis

How do I get data from this page to Visual Studio, https://api.torn.com/faction/8989?selections=basic&key=1vpH5bIwSDLfkwX7, I wanna make a bot but I do not know how does API work that well
hushed quarry
since it's JSON, you just have to make a GET request with any http library that works with the language you chose for your bot, use a json library to parse it, and then use it within your code
rustic obsidian
I don't think he knew what you meant
hushed quarry
i've never used javascript before, but it looks promising
put the website here and then you have the data
untold matrix
Alright thanks a lot for the information!
hushed quarry
you need 2FA enabled on your account for certain bot actions iirc
lofty hamlet
The problem is that I clear all reaction on a message and that it works on a lot of server except one
hushed quarry
the server probably has the 2FA requirement for moderation actions
lofty hamlet
UH OK
lofty hamlet
And i do verify the developpper account ?
hushed quarry
enable 2FA for whichever user account owns the bot
so, if the bot is hosted on your discord account, enable 2FA for that one
lofty hamlet
Ok thx

Hi, i have a problem, with a command, i store a value in my db and when i would use after, i have this error:
Could not interpret "[u'logs']" as string.
Why i have this error ?
Whats the code?
When i use after, its:
guildConf = client.settings.ensure(msg.guild.id, client.defaultSettings)
msg.channels.find("name", guildConf.setlogs)
If u would like have more code, say me and i send all code that i use for this error
I need the part where you define the log channel I thini
think
const guildConf = client.settings.ensure(msg.guild.id, client.defaultSettings);
if (!msg.member.hasPermission('ADMINISTRATOR')) return msg.channel.send("Erreur `permissions manquante`: ADMINISTRATOR")
let args = msg.content.split(/\s+/g)
const [none, prop, ...value] = args;
if (!args[1]) {
let setconf_embed = new Discord.RichEmbed()
.setColor("#3377ff")
.setTitle("Config menu")
.setDescription("Ici sera toute les commande pour configurer votre serveur")
.addField('Commandes', `${guildConf.prefix}setconf prefix: Changer le prefix du serveur`)
.addField('Informations', `La commande **${guildConf.prefix}setconf prefix** peut prendre en compte qu'un seul caractĂŠre pour le prefix`)
.setThumbnail(client.user.avatarURL)
.setFooter("Š ZÊbra'Bot", client.user.avatarURL)
msg.channel.send(setconf_embed)
return
}
if(!client.settings.has(msg.guild.id, prop)) {
return msg.channel.send("Erreur `paramÊtre`: " + guildConf.prefix + "setconf <paramètre> <valeur/mention>\nparamÊtre disponible: `prefix` | `setlogs`");
}
if (args[3] && prop === "prefix" || args[3] && prop === "setlogs") return msg.channel.send("Erreur `valeur`: " + guildConf.prefix + "setconf <paramĂŠtre> <valeur/mention>\nLa valeur ne peut pas contenir plusieurs mots.")
if (!args[2]) return msg.channel.send("Erreur `valeur`: " + guildConf.prefix + "setconf <paramètre> <valeur>\nLa valeur ne peut pas être vide");
if (prop === "setlogs" && !args[2]) return msg.channel.send("Erreur `valeur`: " + guildConf.prefix + "setconf <paramètre> <valeur>\n")
if (args[2].length > 1 && prop === "prefix") return msg.channel.send("Erreur `valeur`: " + guildConf.prefix + "setconf <paramètre> <valeur>\nLa valeur ne peux pas contenir plus d'un caractÊre")
client.settings.set(msg.guild.id, value, prop);
msg.channel.send("Le `" + prop + "` du serveur a ĂŠtĂŠ changĂŠ en `" + value + "`");
This is the part where i define the log channel and also the prefix
west spoke
Some reason it thought your message was a embed. Odd
earnest phoenix
For exemple, i tap this: -setconf setlogs logs and he put on my db the argument logs for the channel and when i would like find the channel "log" with msg.channels.find("name", guildConf.setlogs), i have this error:
Could not interpret "[u'logs']" as string.
So i don't think that my message was a embed
I use the same principle for the prefix and i have no problem with

any suggestions for converting emoji into a single ? rather than the 2 or more it automatically prints to console?

Find it, replace one of the ? with ""

Good day to all. I have a code that displays the top 10 level. How can I get the rank of each participant separately?
const top10 = DB.prepare("SELECT * FROM database WHERE guild = ? ORDER BY xp DESC LIMIT 10;").all(message.guild.id);
let top = ['đĽ', 'đĽ', 'đĽ', 'đ
', 'đ
', 'đ
', 'đ
', 'đ
', 'đ
', 'đ
']
let completeString = '';
let i = 0;
for (const data of top10) {
let rankString = `**${top[i++]} ${client.users.get(data.user)}**\nĐĐżŃŃ: ${data.xp} đ ĐŁŃОвонŃ: ${data.level} đ\n`;
completeString += rankString;
}
const embed = new Discord.RichEmbed()
.setAuthor("ТОп 10 ŃŃĐ°ŃникОв пО ОпŃŃŃ!", message.guild.iconURL)
.setColor(0x00AE86)
.setDescription(completeString);
return message.channel.send({ embed });
I use better-sqlite3 and d.js
thorn nexus
Maybe there is a way to get the rank of the participant without saving it before getting
unique nimbus
ionic compass
@west spoke the way I am implementing that is by using string.replace ("??","?"), the only down side is users who actually have two or more strings of ? will be changed as well
think im gonna stick with that, thanks 
hushed quarry
@west spoke don't use requests as it's not async, so your bot would essentially pause while the request goes through. use aiohttp
hushed quarry
it's not async though...
west spoke
hushed quarry
that's not requests

await~
hushed quarry
that's aiohttp
hushed quarry
yeah change that
