west sand
is it against DBL to force user to join a discord server to use bot?
because i'm planning to make bot ranking system based on my server ranks
twilit rapids
Will your bot be only for your server
west sand
no i'm planning if use has role like (ex. Premium) in my servers Give Them Cool Features in the bot
twilit rapids
Then only give them those features if they're in your server, and leave the core/free features for everyone, including people outside your server
west sand
okay
earnest phoenix
how do i get channel id when i create it (as a bot)?
twilit rapids
discord.js?
twilit rapids
.then(somecoolname => somecoolname.id)
earnest phoenix
the method to create the channel returns a promise with the channel wrapped in it
depending on how you handle async, you can use it
tnx, ill try it
bruhmoment
im trying to get channel by name and send msg to it
how bad is this
mossy vine
you arent passing a function to .find
maiden mauve
so basically
when a message is deleted, you want your bot to send a message in that channel?
or do you just want the id of the deleted message?
mossy vine
im trying to get channel by name and send msg to it
maiden mauve
I've never really messed with channel object but that seems intuitively simple if you browse the API
if you already have the message object from delete event
delmsg.channel.send, no?
quartz kindle
if you're not using master with partials enabled, the messageDelete event should give you a full message object, which includes message.channel
maiden mauve
I don't understand why you would need to "find a channel name"
quartz kindle
if you want to send a message to a different channel, then:
with an id: .get(channel_id)
with a name: .find(channel => channel.name === channel_name)
twilit rapids
They want to send a message to a channel named "bruh" whenever a message gets deleted. This will work if every server your bot is in has a channel named that way. If you only want it to send it in a specific guild you can either return if the guild ID doesn't match the guild ID of the guild you want it to only work in or use client.channels.get("ID") to send it to a specific channel whatever the name of it may be
.find('name', 'bruh'); works too
maiden mauve
oh, like a logging channel
quartz kindle
works but its deprecated lul
topaz fjord
it won't work for much longer :^)
maiden mauve
usually things are deprecated because there is an easier way to do it
inner jewel

quick richembed syntax
let inventoryEmbed = new Discord.RichEmbed()
.setColor('#0099ff')
.setTitle(`Inventory for ${player.name}`);
for(let item in player.inventory)
{
if(player.inventory.item > 0)
inventoryEmbed.addField(item, player.inventory.item);
}
that will work right?
topaz fjord
test it
maiden mauve
ignore the inventory object
topaz fjord
and see if it does
topaz fjord
we're not going to test it for you

seems right

Hello, I try to fetch a special message by using messages.fetch but it doesn't work. Here is my code : js if(message.content.startsWith(prefix + "checkset")) { let args = message.content.split(" ") console.log(args[1] + "\n" + args[2] + "\n" + args[3]) if(!args[1]) return message.channel.send("french blah blah blah !") if(!args[2]) return message.reply("id not put !") if(!args[3]) return message.reply("No emoji put !") if(args[1] != message.mentions.channels.first()) return message.reply("Channel not found !") if(!message.mentions.channels.first().messages.fetch(args[2])) return message.reply("Message not found ! Verify ID !") if(!message.mentions.channels.first().messages.fetch(args[2]).emojis.get(args[3].id)) return message.reply("Emoji not found !") message.channel.send("wouhou !") }
And my error is : if(!message.mentions.channels.first().messages.fetch(args[2])) return message.reply("Message introuvable ! Vérifiez l'ID saisi !") ^ TypeError: message.mentions.channels.first(...).messages.fetch is not a function
I used a code of an open source bot that I tested and it works good
The code of the open source bot is } } if(!channel){ message.channel.messages.fetch(msgID)
earnest phoenix
read your code very carefully
limpid raptor
Why ?
limpid raptor
Mmm, so what must I use ?
earnest phoenix
a text channel does contain a fetchMessage method
which is what you're probably looking for
limpid raptor
No, i never saw it on discord.js.org
earnest phoenix
you should probably attempt to write your own code and not copy someone else's
it's all good to use someone else's code as a reference sheet to what you're supposed to do, but copying word to word is meh
maiden mauve
oh wow I got some interesting output from a "object in" loop
limpid raptor
Yes, but i was pretty sure that i never saw it on the library...
maiden mauve
so, this works fine
however
when i log every item its iterating
I get every property of the object as well?
broken shale
@twilit rapids Sorry to specifically ping you, but your bot uses d.js and lavalink I'm assuming. According to d.js-lavalink, you need a host js const nodes = [ { host: "localhost", port: 2333, password: "youshallnotpass" } ]; but if I'm using a VPS, the host isn't localhost. What should it be?
twilit rapids
I don't use discord.js-lavalink
broken shale
Oh really?
twilit rapids
and do you already have a lavalink server running
broken shale
nope
twilit rapids
Then start doing that first
tulip solar
What are the chances that some day there will be a local offline discord client for developers to be able to code without needing to be online and be able to test
tight heath
and bots need to send an IDENTIFY call via ws
maiden mauve
yeah, thankfully discord api is like snapping legos together
generally anything you need to do is pretty simple once you find the right method
twilit rapids
@broken shale just wondering, how did you figure that stuff out about me and my bot
unreal cape
how do i check discord.py version on linux
broken shale
Like what language your bot ran on?
broken shale
language is easy from dbl page, lava-link was assumed since I would think if you have a music bot you'd use lavalink/ytdl-core
stone dust
@maiden mauve iirc it’s something having to do with object.hasOwnProperty, no idea how that works with mongo
for in loop default iterates over every property of the object
maiden mauve
I made a quick fix but i'd rather understand why it's doing it
adding a "break;" on the last object that I defined prevents the spill
I guess it works 🤷
tight heath
that's not very nice tho
maiden mauve
yeah, essentially it's a half-way there solution as opposed to making a defined "array"
topaz fjord
for (let property in object) {
if (object.hasOwnProperty(property)) {
// do stuff
}
}
do this
stone dust
was gonna suggest the same yeah
topaz fjord
you have to check if the item is actually in the object
limpid raptor
By the way, how can I check if a message has this or this reaction ?
message.reactions and message.emojis doesn't work
maiden mauve
ty Turtle
sudden geyser
or you could use object keys
topaz fjord
@sudden geyser /shrug
maiden mauve
it's still technically iterating the loop of nonsense though
stone dust
yeah
you could try storing the inventory in an array property of the player and iterate over that
idk if mongo does that but
tight heath
mongo more like good database
stone dust
yeah
maiden mauve
maybe in the future.
this function is for a minor task comapred to how the rest of bot is coded
topaz fjord
its not that hard to switch over to
maiden mauve
I'd basically have to change every reference to the objects handling an array
essentially it would just be a big replace all in files
stone dust
the hasownprop solution definitely works so no pressure either way
maiden mauve
what about breaking the loop with hasownproperty as a conditional?
for... in , if break
maiden mauve
well all my tests have shown the real elements came out first
stone dust
Currently all major browsers loop over the properties of an object in the order in which they were defined. Chrome does this as well, except for a couple cases. [...] This behavior is explicitly left undefined by the ECMAScript specification. In ECMA-262, section 12.6.4
yeah I guess that works for the most part
maiden mauve
stone dust
until js gets a weird facelift
maiden mauve
yeah if it ever went backwards you'd have the opposite problem
since I'm not coding paypal I think I'll be alright for the time being
😄
stone dust
yeah it’s np
if anything ever breaks it’s a quick fix
put a little book mark in it though in case
maiden mauve
a fun adventure in any case
thanks all for input
haha, top reply had great words of wisdom
It is plain wrong to assume a non-failing test provides any sort of concrete proof.

Very inexpensive
Very reliable, if you choose the right company

I have two, the $3 is from OVH, the other one I have is from primenodes
I havent had problems with ovh
I guess their support is slow Ive been told but havent experienced it

google cloud can get you free credit
as do a few other sizable ones
is that the micro?

Hi I'm Having trouble with global variables
global port, questions, pointer
port = 'website for questions'
questions = requests.post(port, json={}).text
questions = ast.literal_eval(questions)['result'][0]
pointer = 0
But, in my program
@client.command(aliases=['quest', 'q', 'start', 'play', 'ask'])
async def question(ctx):
print(port)
print(questions)
port is defined, but questions is not for no reason
winged thorn
is the error literally just "questions is not defined"
west spoke
@halcyon nymph global variables are a bit meh. I redefine things each time for global variables, or make it a function that returns stuff
winged thorn
global variables tend to be bad practice most of the time
you could create your command in a cog and use self to store data which you need multiple times in different cmds
halcyon nymph
How else can I pass variables into async commands that can change on the fly
winged thorn
I'd recommend cogs
halcyon nymph
Idk what cogs are
winged thorn
having to open a file each time you run a command isn't ideal
halcyon nymph
I don’t think files would work because I need it to change
west spoke
writing to json files
earnest phoenix
or simply don't
winged thorn
Again having to open each command is not ideal
earnest phoenix
more often than not, it will lead to corruption
winged thorn
cogs would make it so much easier
halcyon nymph
I think I’ll just use a class
west spoke
true
halcyon nymph
Because classes are global aren’t they?
winged thorn
a cog is just a class
halcyon nymph
Oh, I didn’t know what you were talking about
west spoke
lol
winged thorn
Suppose you write this extension
someextension.py
from discord.ext import commands
class SomeCog(commands.Cog):
@commands.command()
async def foo(self, ctx, ...):
...
@commands.Cog.listener()
async def on_some_event(self, args):
...
# This is important
def setup(bot):
bot.add_cog(SomeCog())```
In your main code file in the same directory, you could load it like this
`bot.py`
```py
from discord.ext import commands
extensions = ['someextension']
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='')
...
for ext in extensions:
bot.load_extension(ext)
bot.run(token)```tada

twilit rapids
small prairie
i need help
tight heath
For the first prod deploy
small prairie
how to get list of servers
twilit rapids
Yes
tight heath
I answered you in general
But we need a sharding manager
Because sharding in k8s is a tad more complicated
small prairie
and that is?
trail dagger
@small prairie Want a easy code?
small prairie
i got the count
tight heath
small prairie
but not the names
trail dagger
Learn discord.js
tight heath
I need to add wss there
tight heath
And then we can mostly start
quartz kindle
I was experimenting with djs shards today, i wrote a weird script with the sharding manager to allow for custom number of processes with x shards each
small prairie
i can get the total but not the lest
tight heath
Well we have aether
trail dagger
@small prairie Did you code asleast one single part of your bot yourself?
tight heath
It just needs refinement
small prairie
yeah man evberuything
trail dagger
no
small prairie
i just dont know this part
tight heath
We start without using d.js' shardingmanager
slender thistle
Could you actually help
trail dagger
tight heath
That's why we're ignoring him
small prairie
me?? oof
quartz kindle
What do you want to do @small prairie?
trail dagger
@small prairie How old are you?
tight heath
List guilds in djs
quartz kindle
Are you using discord.js?
small prairie
yeah
trail dagger
12?
topaz fjord
tight heath
@trail dagger just stop
small prairie
not your buisness
slender thistle
Calm tf down Emil
small prairie
whatever this server is not ebing helpfull atm will be back later
trail dagger
I am calm?
twilit rapids
Watch him go to Discord.js official
trail dagger
What part of the code do you need help with? show us the error
quartz kindle
You can get the list of servers using client.guilds then you need to extract the names from it. You can use array.map() for example which works on collections
slender thistle
Stop the belittle and either contribute to helping (even though as ravy says that question was answered twice already) or stay quiet
quartz kindle
Lmao
quartz kindle
A code is not something you "find", is something you learn, and we try to teach, not give code for people to copy/paste without understanding
topaz fjord
ravy didn't understand 👀
quartz kindle
But cool that you found a solution
tight heath
@quartz kindle I personally don't like the djs sharding manager so this is how we did it
Both are connected via ws
quartz kindle
Cool, ill check it out later, im on the phone now
tight heath
Next steps are adding wss and signing, as well as an eval event
And then I can use it in prod
quartz kindle
What i did was passing a process id into shardArgs and incrementing it on each process launch so the forked client knows whish shards to spawn in the client options lul
tight heath
Oh that's cool
Well currently each pod will only launch one shard
So ig could get shards from hostname
tight heath
ohno
quartz kindle
I got it down to 80mb ram at 1.5k servers
woven zealot
(does anybody know how to eval an emit? I'm trying to be a lazy dev but eval only returns true and doesn't emit the event)
quartz kindle
Lmao
tight heath
Tbf I cache all members
topaz fjord
why
tight heath
Because 62 servers is nothing
woven zealot
lmao I reboot my bot every now and again just to delete the cache
quartz kindle
I disabled all events except guild create/delete/update, clear all stores on the raw guild create event
Then use the raw message event to handle messages
tight heath
quartz kindle
It starts memory leaking
quartz kindle
Speaking of memory leaks, the zucc package causes a huge memory leak in djs master
At least it did everytime i tried it
inner jewel
@topaz fjord you can disable guild subscriptions
on the v4 lazy loading pr
disabling events isnt supported by discord so theres no reason to do it
at most you save a couple bytes of allocations that are almost free to gc since you'll most likely be using a generational collector
quartz kindle
Also zlib-sync was finally fixed for node v12, it cuts down djs's cpu usage by half
tight heath
@quartz kindle i used uws and it caused some d.js callbacks to run before the event actually completed
indigo geyser
maiden mauve
anyone know how to fix that on git GUI?
(entire file is being flagged instead of specific code)
opaque eagle
Add a newline at the end of the file?
maiden mauve
like, just hit enter a few times?
opaque eagle
No, just one empty new line at the end
opaque eagle
yeah
maiden mauve
nah still showing
maiden mauve
yeah all i did was make new line and save, still throwing "no new line"
opaque eagle
hmm... idk;
maiden mauve
😭
js question: if you assign a variable at the beginning of a command.js file, will it get overwritten from multiple instances (busy bot)?
ex:
let damage = 0;
function doit () {
damage = 25;
return true;
}
function doit2 () {
damage = 45;
return true;
}
I've run into a small pickle with displaying a variable change that can't be the function return
limpid raptor
Hey, I need help. I want to create a personnal prefix for each server. I made it : ```js
if(message.content.startsWith(prefix + "prefix")) {
let args = message.content.split(" ")
if(!message.guild.member(message.author).hasPermission("ADMINISTRATOR")) return message.reply("Permissions insuffisantes.")
if(!args[1]) return message.reply("Le préfixe actuel est " + prefix + ". Si vous souhaitez le changer, précisez le nouveau préfixe.")
if(args[1].length > 1) return message.reply("La longueur du préfixe doit être d'un seul caractère.")
if(args[1] === prefix) return message.reply("Le préfixe actuel est déjà celui précisé !")
prefix = args[1]
fs.writeFile("./administration/prefix.json", JSON.stringify(prefixies), (err) => {
console.error(err)
})
message.channel.search("Le préfixe a bien été changé en `" + prefix + "`.")
}```
But the output is : (node:11828) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: DiscordAPIError: Bots cannot use this endpoint at item.request.gen.end (c:\Users\Megaport\Desktop\TimeBot\node_modules\discord.js\src\client\rest\RequestHandlers\Sequential.js:85:15) at then (c:\Users\Megaport\Desktop\TimeBot\node_modules\snekfetch\src\index.js:215:21) at <anonymous> at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:188:7) warning.js:18 (node:11828) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection.

maiden mauve
JSON.stringify(prefixies) variable name intentional?
limpid raptor
const prefixies = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync("./administration/prefix.json", "utf8"))```I've this
sudden geyser
Hoff you can't use the search endpoint
slender thistle
message.channel.search("Le préfixe a bien été changé en `" + prefix + "`.")
sudden geyser
Hoff in stable, check out the TextChannel class for fetching messages. In master, check out the MessageStore

Fuck me

maiden mauve
Hey, it's an awareness poster
Don't code in the wee hours unless your jacked on caffeine 😄
speaking of coffee
I need to solve a "repeated code" problem
mossy vine
use functions?
maiden mauve
hold on ill paste it
sting: {
reqLevel: 1,
mpCost: 2,
errorStr: "Sting requires 2 MP.",
cast: async (player, message, target) => {
let spellDmg = Math.floor(player.maxHP / 20);
if(target.hasSHIELD)
spellDmg = Math.floor(spellDmg * 0.75);
else if(target.hasSHIELD2)
spellDmg = Math.floor(spellDmg * 0.60);
target.currentHP -= spellReturn;
await message.channel.send( `${player.name} casts **STING** on ${target.name}! Damage done: ${spellDmg}! Remaining HP: ${target.currentHP}/${target.maxHP}` );
return true; // necessary to continue file. Some spells have false returns for case-by-case validation.
}
},
so I decided to make every spell an object for clean looking c ode
but then I realized, "if every damaging spell just causes damage, that should be the return"
in other words, the handler could reduce target hp etc.
tight heath
how about you also return an object like idk
maiden mauve
however, the function itself needs the change to display properly
late hill
If all of them are a similar format like that, use a class?
tight heath
{ damage: 5000, paralysis: true, ... }
maiden mauve
yeah 1 option is a multi return
pastel sky
Hey guys, my bot had 68 upvotes and now has 2. Can someone help me?
maiden mauve
if I push it all to the handler the cast function pretty much just becomes a "switch case" for damage done
pastel sky
Oh, Ty @late hill <3
maiden mauve
not the worst idea though
porting 5 lines of repeated code just to stomp on my idea a little bit

Discord.js and JSON
How would I make a JSON based leaderboard?
I've tried a lot, but nothing has worked...
JSON file:
_
{
"users": {
"userID": {
"points": 100
}
}
}
Ping with response please!
earnest phoenix
have you thought about not using json files as a database
twilit rapids
.json files can corrupt when they are written on a lot. Which can cause you to loose all your data. Use a database like Mongo or SQLite
opaque eagle
@floral bloom
maiden mauve
@floral bloom as people have said its worth the time investment to figure out a simple db, but the answer to your question is a number of string editting techniques and fs commands
floral bloom
Thanks, but I think I found a way.
maiden mauve
yeah, I started off doing something similar with my bot
and by 15 users I was already having issues with fs object and json
cannot write file in use
floral bloom
I'm re-coding an old bot and it's never had issues with JSON files being corrupted IIRC.
It has over 120 users in the database.
earnest phoenix
its not only that, json has strict formatting rules and restrictive data types
maiden mauve
if your die hard committed to keeping json 🤷
earnest phoenix
mess up formatting and your file is unreadable
inner jewel
if you use the non sync methods, you risk corruption by writing twice at the same time to the same file
if you use the sync ones, you're locking the whole process to do the write
maiden mauve
mongodb/mongoose made all my db issues brainless
I removed so much annoying json code
it literally took me as long as it took to format the json correctly as it did to learn mongo
for example, one of the most annoying parts of json was the discord snowflake
you can't store it as an integer in js because its too long
floral bloom
I use an NPM package to deal with the 1e problem...
maiden mauve
Ace, are you familiar with any other db besides json or just stubborn to leave it? I don't mean to be condescending just curious
there is literally no advantage to keeping it that way unless a local file is a necessity for some reason
floral bloom
I know a very tiny bit of SQL but that's it.
maiden mauve
here's an example of how simple mongoose is
const player = await players.findOne({"flake":message.author.id, "serverId":message.guild.id});
if(!player) {
player = new players({ flake: message.author.id , name: message.author.username , serverId: message.guild.id});
await player.save();
await message.channel.send('`' + player.name + ', you now have a Loaf Bot user profile! Type ?help in the chat room to see all commands.`').catch( (e) => { console.log(e); } );
}
that's my code to check for a new player in db
floral bloom
I mean, it looks more simple, but what does it take to create the database?
maiden mauve
mongodb gives you a free host up to 512 MB
then you just need to do a little research on connecting it to nodejs
it'
floral bloom
No, I mean, how do you create the database?
maiden mauve
keywords coming in here but
mongodb ... specifically mongoose is models and schemas
my "model" is players
and my "schema" is the players stats
that is a Schema, in other words a map of all the variables in the model
as soon as you .save a schema, it goes onto the db
then on the actual db it looks like this
but everything is found by properties as you saw above
floral bloom
Huh.
floral bloom
Ok, I'll look into it, thanks.
maiden mauve
👍
I was stubborn in json but after crossing the learning curve of mongo(mongoose specifically) I would NEVER do that again with any project
floral bloom
I just use JSON because that's the only thing that I could actually make work
maiden mauve
yeah, it's quick to get up and running because you don't have to leave your project folder
but it also quickly becomes a project of itself
floral bloom
Is it completely free?
maiden mauve
Mongo is, yes
as long as you don't exceed the limit
my project is 82 KB / 512 MB with 30 users
floral bloom
Okay. And what is the cluster name for?
tight heath
@maiden mauve btw if the name of the value is the same as the key in an object you can write it a lot shorter
{server : server, flake : flake} is the same as {server, flake}
:)
maiden mauve
orly?
tight heath
yup
maiden mauve
so basically in that instance
if i did something like
const flake = message.author.id;
const serverId = message.guild.id;
the shorter version would work?
maiden mauve
😉
trail dagger
On the bot page how can i get this as the background?

Any recommendations for a bot language, I've coded in Javascript but I'm kinda bored I'd like to learn a new language.
topaz fjord
java
warm marsh
Alright
opaque eagle
Go is really fun
opaque eagle
Rust is also a solid choice if you'd like to try something different
warm marsh
Ok, I guess will give them a try. Which is most recommended for command line?
inner jewel
command line apps?
warm marsh
What?
inner jewel
Which is most recommended for command line?
warm marsh
Yeah, Meaning doesn't require to be compiled or doesn't use something external for compiling.
inner jewel
out of those 3, only python
the others need to be compiled
although the build tools have ways of running directly (./gradlew run, cargo run)
warm marsh
Ok, Thanks!

how do i get a text doc. to a py file
west spoke
just replace the ext to .py
Also if you are using the default IDLE you can press ctrl+n and make one from there.
eg filename.txt to filename.py
outer niche
idk how to replace
west spoke
what OS
either way if you dont have a python idle, get one
it will make your life a lot easier
outer niche
i have a idle
quartz kindle
@tight heath lul, i think its a general consensus that uws is bad. i think its being deprecated/removed soon
tight heath
@quartz kindle everyone on d.js discord told me it's bad, but it's still officially listed
outer niche
Windows 10 is my operating system
quartz kindle
also they should provide some benchmarks/statistics about those extra packages, like "how much improvement do you get from them"
outer niche
@west spoke Windows 10 is my operating system I just need to know how to transfer the file
quartz kindle
the most impactful one i could notice was zlib-sync, and supposedly zucc should be even better, but i cant use it because it leaks
@outer niche you want to change a .txt file to a .py file?
outer niche
Yes
outer niche
Ok
I don't see how that helps me
Don't see where it says how to transfer it into a python file
quartz kindle
you just rename it
outer niche
That does not do anything
quartz kindle
python files are just text files with a .py extension, its literally the same file just with a different name
outer niche
Accept I can't get it to go into a python file
quartz kindle
why cant you?
outer niche
Idk
quartz kindle
what are you trying to do?
outer niche
Oml
maiden mauve
"transfer the file" is rather ambiguous
outer niche
I want to transfer the text document into a python file
quartz kindle
that is not a thing
maiden mauve
textdocument.txt can be renamed to textdocument.py
quartz kindle
does the text document have python code in it?
outer niche
quartz kindle
then do what i told you
outer niche
I want to put it into a Python file
quartz kindle
you do that by doing what we're telling you
outer niche
That's not helping me
quartz kindle
you need to enable windows file extensions, so you can see them, and change them
maiden mauve
a python file IS a text file, it's just the programs that read it need it to be .py for formatting
quartz kindle
if you dont enable file extensions, then you see "file.py" but in reality its "file.py.txt"
maiden mauve
we're telling you all you have to do is change the file extension
outer niche
still not helping
quartz kindle
did you enable file extensions?
outer niche
cant
outer niche
No
earnest phoenix
well
the system auto hides them to make it look clean
if you execute a few commands, you can make them visible
outer niche
@quartz kindleno
quartz kindle
how do you see files then?
outer niche
Idk
outer niche
It is only the final name like I said
quartz kindle
show a picture?
outer niche
unique nimbus
do .py at the end
quartz kindle
then your files look like i said "filename" and not "filename.extension"
so you need to enable file extensions
so you can see them
you cant edit them if you cant see them
unique nimbus
o
quartz kindle
your files need to be shown as "py.txt" and "echo premium.py" and "new text document (.txt"
not the way they are now
the link i sent you explains how to enable file extensions
outer niche
@quartz kindle and like I said before I cannot enable the file extender
quartz kindle
why not?
quartz kindle
did you go to where the link said to go?
outer niche
Yes I went to the link I still do not understand it I type it into my computer and nothing pulls up
quartz kindle
you dont know how to use the control panel?
quartz kindle
Open Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization. Now, click on Folder Options or File Explorer Option, as it is now called > View tab. In this tab, under Advanced Settings, you will see the option Hide extensions for known file types. Uncheck this option and click on Apply and OK.
click on the start menu and type "control panel"
outer niche
Computer settings or what
quartz kindle
then click on "appearence and personalization" like it says above
inner jewel
there's an option in file explorer itself
view -> file extensions or something like that
quartz kindle
yes there is, but i thought this way would be easier for him to find it lol
outer niche
I only see the properties
quartz kindle
did you open the control panel?
outer niche
There is no option for the control panel
earnest phoenix
are you on a mac
quartz kindle
earnest phoenix
outer niche
I asked if it was through the actual computer
quartz kindle
i said to click on the start menu and type it
outer niche
All right I'm on the control panel
earnest phoenix
@outer niche just YouTube how
quartz kindle
now click on appearence and personalization
outer niche
I did I can't find anything
earnest phoenix
based on the screenshot they posted above
it seems they're on a mac
not on a windows machine
lol
outer niche
outer niche
Disable what
outer niche
There's nothing there to disable
earnest phoenix
Un tick it
outer niche
Got it
quartz kindle
ok
now close everything and go back to your files
you should see your "py" file is now called "py.txt"
outer niche
quartz kindle
yes
earnest phoenix
👏
quartz kindle
now rename it, and change ".txt" to ".py"
outer niche
Got it
quartz kindle
congrats
outer niche
The file does not ope
earnest phoenix
that took way to long
outer niche
Neither of them do
outer niche
Open the closest real quick
quartz kindle
python files are not supposed to be opened by double clicking
they are supposed to be run by python
outer niche
My other one opens
earnest phoenix
NightzToday at 11:53 PM
that took way to long
because they're a child with probably almost to no past CS experience lol
quartz kindle
ie: open the command line in the right folder and type "python yourfile.py"
earnest phoenix
@earnest phoenix 😂
outer niche
It will not stay open
quartz kindle
i told you why
quartz kindle
you can also google "how to run a python file"
maiden mauve
did anyone ask if the PC is plugged in?
maiden mauve
Honestly, I try to imagine a positive scenario but if you don't even know the basics of windows file extensions and handling
outer niche
I cannot keep the bot running if the python file does not stay open
maiden mauve
a "intro to programming" may be in order
earnest phoenix
outer niche
Keeping up out open does not have anything to do with python
earnest phoenix
@outer niche you obv don't know basic...
maiden mauve
@outer niche your in here with a lot of people who have been coding for years and we're all getting the vibe your asking the wrong questions
earnest phoenix
if you can't do logical thinking and have no prior experience working with "the behinds" programming is most likely not for you
maiden mauve
meaning that your starting in the middle rather than at the root of your problem
earnest phoenix
just putting out a TIL
outer niche
When file stays open but the two that we just did do not which is where I am confused
earnest phoenix
are you following a tut?

I had someone else help me with this last night that kept that file open all the time but the two files that I just did from doing what you guys told me to do does not stay open
earnest phoenix
@outer niche, you obviously do not know any basic knowledge of programming, I suggest you to watch some YouTube videos on basics of python. rules state that we shouldn't don't spoon-feed you.
outer niche
Now if you guys are really helping me anymore so I'm just going to go find someone that can thank you for your help
earnest phoenix
you got help, your problem is that you want someone to do it for you instead of thinking for yourself

Is that why all my bots ate operational with at least 20 commands each
winged thorn
So why can't you get it to work if clearly you know how to code already
maiden mauve
you don't even know how to run a single file, but you have multiple bots?
outer niche
Yes
winged thorn
maiden mauve
earnest phoenix
so it took you like 30 minutes to enable file extensions but you have multiple bots that work....
🤔
outer niche
Is that a problem
maiden mauve
it's highly suspect that you have misinterpreted what people do here
you don't answer basic questions about how to program
you aren't asking a specific question that makes sense to anyone
earnest phoenix
@outer niche all these bots written in python?
outer niche
Yes
earnest phoenix
@outer niche so you have made multiple functional bots in python? but you don't know how to run a file or enable file extensions
