if type is supplied (ie: {type:"text"}), djs gets the type id from the ChannelTypes constants
#development
quartz kindle
if type is not supplied, it falls back to "text", but the discord api expects a channel type ID, not the string "text"
GUILD_TEXT's id is 0
earnest phoenix
Oh okay...
quartz kindle
its already fixed in 11.5-dev
west spoke
ok, i know how to do this in async, but how would i use a custom prefix (eg calling the server before it's sent)
import nekobot as nb
import nbapi
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=prefix)```how would i change the prefix before the bot variable
Would i need to go through every server it's in?
astral meteor
How does one go about creating an eval command and what does it do?
mossy vine
it.. evaluates code
astral meteor
Oh cause I've seen people use it to do stuff?
mossy vine
yes
west spoke
eval()
astral meteor
And only bot owners can do it because you can get the bot's token

store prefix in database

ima finally go away from json
reccomend me a db in dm pls
since you convinced me to use rewrite

How do I get the uptime of my bot? For stats command.
cursive dagger
@west spoke use a function to check the prefix and just pass it

uh
could you help me with that
honestly i think #= is fairly uncommon

return prefixes[str(message.guild.id)]
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix = get_prefix)

sqlite is good for small bots
valid frigate
in order to scale though youll need an actual db eventually
like mongo, postgres, mysql, etc
knotty steeple
i dont like postgres
knotty steeple
also mariadb > mysql
valid frigate
knotty steeple
mariadb is better mysql
quartz kindle
Sqlite can handle anything that you can run on a single machine
The only point at which you need to move to mysql/postgre/mongo is when your bot needs multiple machines

You dont use shards
The shards option is to define the shard ids that this client should run
sick cloud
so that's not how you do internal sharding ok
quartz kindle
It is, but if you know which ids you want

what do i use if i don't then

I seemed to have fixed that issue, but TypeError: reportChannel.send is not a function the same thing works for something else so like 
hushed berry
@ember atlas are you sure reportChannel isnt the report channel's id
hushed berry
today kids, we learn about the benefits of properly naming your variables
hushed berry
dont you need to resolve it into a channel before you can send a message to it
ember atlas
ok so i need to resolve it as a channel name rather than an id to send it?
hushed berry
w-what
id assume you need to resolve it to the channel object
you cant send a message to a string in this case
ember atlas
hm
hushed berry
im not fluent with whatever discord lib youre using but id assume its something similar to that
ember atlas
ya im usin discord.js
amber fractal
get channel -> use methods

do what the others said: Resolve a channel with the fetched ID, then send it from there
ember atlas
Ya i did that
this command is stupidly broken
it works fine but it cancels the report when i told it not to

@ember atlas do u even know how basic js works?
You need to get the object

earnest phoenix
the null isn't the problem

yeh but it still doesn't make sense
earnest phoenix
I've try with regular random members too, sometimes an error occured
"null" is beacause I don't have nickname on the server

if user is the User Object then nickname is nothing
earnest phoenix
How to "delete" the ping before a message?

users don't have roles; guild members do (d.js). What lib are you using
slender thistle
A message author can have up to 250 roles, which role would you be talking about?
sudden geyser
master or stable
stray garnet
stable
slender thistle
GuildMember.highestRole
sudden geyser
check out the guildmember class docs for something that looks like it.
stray garnet
so it would be message.author.highestRole?
sudden geyser
users don't have roles, only guild members

How do I add custom emojis to my bot's responses and in embeds? All the emojis are in its support server.

@astral meteor Yep
slender thistle
@normal crater Discuss that with the moderator who declined your bot, preferably in DMs

the bot HAS the permissions to ban, but it failed

@slender thistle @sudden geyser okay, thankyou
slender thistle
sudden geyser
@earnest phoenix bannable's spelled incorrectly

Hello.
How i can paste guild id's in the website?
Servers this bot is in
Guild IDs, max. 3, these display on your bot page and the IDs you enter must be valid servers on https://top.gg/servers/

The servers under those IDs must be listed on https://top.gg/servers/

Does loading commands with a handler increase memory usage that much, I thought the increase was due to a command, but after playing around with that I don't think it's directly caused by a certain command, leaving it seemingly be the command and event handler. Would something like that really increase memory usage by 30mb (discordjs)?
Or would it be something I glossed over when checking each of the commands
quartz kindle
30mb cant be caused by command handlers
lunar crystal
What does mean this erro unexpected token { ?
quartz kindle
unless you're doing something seriously wrong
it means that you have something wrong in your code
lunar crystal
Ok I check this
earnest phoenix
I mean the command handler is pretty basic ```js
client.commands = new Discord.Collection();
fs.readdir("./commands/", (err, files) => {
if (err) return console.error(err);
files.forEach(file => {
if (!file.endsWith(".js")) return;
let props = require(./commands/${file});
let commandName = file.split(".")[0];
client.commands.set(commandName, props);
});
});
fs.readdir("./events/", (err, files) => {
if (err) return console.error(err);
files.forEach(file => {
if (!file.endsWith(".js")) return;
const event = require(./events/${file});
let eventName = file.split(".")[0];
client.on(eventName, event.bind(null, client));
});
});```
unless it really is somewhere else in the code, which I suppose it could be
quartz kindle
how do you know those 30mb are caused by the handler and not by the cache?
earnest phoenix
I mean I suppose I really don't it was just an assumption based on the occurrence of how it started
I'm not knowledgeable on memory related things very much at all, if it were to be the cache, is there much that can be done, or is it just the way it is
quartz kindle
there is a lot that can be done, but not obviously so, and not easily either
the easiest thing you can do is disable message caching if you dont need it
by setting maxMessageCache to 0
other than that, you can either sweep the other caches regularly (users,members,channels.roles,emojis,voice states,presences)
or intercept their events to prevent caching in the first place using the raw event
you can also get some mileage by disabling event processing for events you dont need in the client options
earnest phoenix
is there a discord.py discord?
amber fractal
yes
I cant post an invite though because I'm a white name

When my bot joins a new server, how do I post that into a logging channel in its support server with said server's information?
mossy vine
fetch the channel and send the message
sudden geyser
listen to the guild join event and use logic from there
astral meteor
Yeah, but how do I get the info of the server my bot joined?
mossy vine
the guild object is passed in the guildCreate event, assuming youre using d.js
astral meteor
yes djs
knotty steeple
some.thing().then(do => do.that()).catch(err => console.error(err))```something like this works
probably
amber fractal
I dont think it even matters the order
broken shale
¯_(ツ)_/¯
sudden geyser
.then if you want to handle the received stuff. .catch if you don't plan on doing anything with it. The order does matter. .catch(...).then(...) handles the .then for the rejected promise
broken shale
I was doing msg.author.send('some error occurs here').then(m => m.delete({timeout: 5000})).catch()
knotty steeple
that works
broken shale
Was just unsure

@knotty steeple that makes no sense lul, disabling message cache doesnt interfere with that

sololearn is also good for learning syntax
knotty steeple
@mossy vine js and node.js isnt the same rEEE

do people actually pay 40 per hr?

oh god here we go recommending shitty outdated guides
last time i checked, https://anidiots.guide was pretty good
earnest phoenix
yeah tim, people have one on one call sessions and they're willing to pay a lot
jade thistle
how tf do guides become outdated?
earnest phoenix
it's because software development brings a huge amount of profit, so obviously teaching sessions are pricier
jade thistle
oh ok i though you were talking about the programming languages, not the apis
harsh nova
es6 vs old non chad js is a good example
mossy vine
programming languages can become outdated as well

For example, if I want some commands to be available but not others if I update them, can I use shards for that?

quartz kindle
sharding is a system to split servers into different processes
a single process/login can only get 2500 servers
quartz kindle
if you have 4000 guilds, you need two shards. each shard is a process managing 2000 guilds
earnest phoenix
Mmmh okay
if (command === 'stats') {
- return message.channel.send(`Server count: ${client.guilds.size}`);
+ return client.shard.fetchClientValues('guilds.size')
+ .then(results => {
+ return message.channel.send(`Server count: ${results.reduce((prev, guildCount) => prev + guildCount, 0)}`);
+ })
+ .catch(console.error);
}```I have read this but
It makes it very difficult to order
earnest phoenix
I don't have 2k guilds lol juste it's interresting
But you have to redo each order for the shards, right?
quartz kindle
what do you mean?
earnest phoenix
Exemple:
2 shards:
1 = 2k guilds
2 = 2k guilds
The controls will not work on both shards
quartz kindle
you will have 2 processes
each process will be a copy of your bot
with the same commands
earnest phoenix
But if in one process i use a port i can't launch a second process...
quartz kindle
why do you need a port? do you have a webserver?
earnest phoenix
Yes i test to make a dashboard
quartz kindle
you can put the webserver in the main process, the process where you use the sharding manager
quartz kindle
no, the sharding manager does it
earnest phoenix
'-'
knotty steeple
with eris
quartz kindle
you have 2 files, the manager, and the bot
you run the manager, and the manager runs the bots for you
earnest phoenix
What should this manager file look like?
quartz kindle
yes, thats how the manager file looks like
earnest phoenix
Oh okay
This is really hard to setup shards
So if I use the manager file I don't need to modify the coding of my commands?
This is my last question.
quartz kindle
you only need to modify if you have code that is not compatible with sharding
earnest phoenix
Ah, there's a compatibility story....
quartz kindle
for example, if you have a database like levelDB which only accepts a connection from one process at a time
earnest phoenix
I use sqlite
quartz kindle
sqlite should be fine
earnest phoenix
Okay
quartz kindle
also, if you have commands that show the server count
the command will only show the servers for the shard
not all servers

I don't know where in my code this is happening. somewhere in 814 lines this is hammening and I don't know where
help?
opaque eagle
That JSON file isn't formatted properly
earnest phoenix
@jaunty stump show your json please
jaunty stump
I have 3
a package.json
a config.json
and a database.json
I'll show all three
opaque eagle
Well just show the one that caused the error
sudden geyser
hold up json db
opaque eagle
It could just be connection information... never make assumptions @sudden geyser
sudden geyser
not making assumptions. just makes me think
jaunty stump
I fixed it
the database.json file was empty for some reason despite me not editing it after I created it
earnest phoenix
@jaunty stump show the json file please
opaque eagle
They said they fixed it
jaunty stump
also thanks Promise for telling me it was an issue with my .json files and not my main code. I was going crazy trying to find it.
the database.json file is like this btw
@earnest phoenix
earnest phoenix
Yes i know
earnest phoenix
np
jaunty stump
well, my leveling system/database is working.
now I am having issues with this.

like. I know I need to define my prefix.. But at the same time I want to say I have already
ember atlas
Rather than give an error that we have no idea where it comes from
Oh ya 
Ok so js and djs
jaunty stump
discord.js/Javascript
and I have like 814 lines of code. it won't all fit here
if I knew what line this is happening on then maybe it will help me
ember atlas
Use hastebin
sudden geyser
Well, it's saying prefix is not defined. So... did you define it correctly?
ember atlas
It happening on line 14 In index.js
jaunty stump
ok. i'll be right back
ember atlas
Js errors are self explanatory
jaunty stump
if it is happening on line 14 then here
ember atlas
Which one is line 14....
jaunty stump
ember atlas
What do you want your bot prefix to be
jaunty stump
jaunty stump
I have my prefix in my config.json
ember atlas
Then it needs to be config.prefix
earnest phoenix
Are you requiring the config
ember atlas
And you need to require config in one of the first lines of the code
jaunty stump
yes I am requiring the config.json file in the first lines of my code
ember atlas
Then anything with prefix needs to be config.prefix
Or however you required config .json
jaunty stump
ok. I will look through my code and try to update things. I'll keep you guys updated if I get anymore errors or problems

you could just
have the config on the client
then have access to it everywhere
and not require something more than once when you dont need to

jaunty stump
I just did
client.on('message', async(message) => {
if (prefix || (message.content)) {
var parts = message.content.replace(config.prefix, "").split(" ");
switch(parts[0]) {
case 'ping':
const m = await message.channel.send("ping?");
m.edit(`Latency is ${m.createdTimestamp - message.createdTimestamp}ms. API Latency is ${Math.round(client.ping)}ms`);
break;
and it responded to my ping and help command
if (prefix || (message.content)) {

just for the ping and help command and this
client.on("message", message => {

manic basalt
is it possible to get the Guild.icon_url from a Guild.icon in discord.py? if so how
^ i found https://cdn.discordapp.com/icons/{ID}/{ICON}.webp?size=1024 (is there another way though?)
manic basalt
its with oauth2 and the users guilds doesnt have an icon_url @west spoke
shouldve specified
stray garnet
How can i make args.join(" ") to lowercase?
stray garnet
no. dont works at me
stray garnet
Uh k
earnest phoenix
.lower()# converts to lowercase
In python
What language do you want it in? @stray garnet
stray garnet
i tried, but dont works
earnest phoenix
discord.js that's work
stray garnet
ik but not for me
quasi forge
Can embed footers contain custom emojis?
earnest phoenix
Okay
earnest phoenix
hello, how do i do that the embed fields will go the side like in that picture
and not like that
in discord.js
ember atlas
You want their avatar in the corner?
earnest phoenix
no
slim heart
Or inline fields?
earnest phoenix
see the embed fields will go to sides
slim heart
Yeah inline fields
earnest phoenix
yh i think inline thas called
ember atlas
Ya you need to use true
earnest phoenix
so how do i do that?
slim heart
What Lib?
earnest phoenix
discord.js
twilit rapids
add ,true after each field
slim heart
.addField(title, text, inlineBool)
ember atlas
.addField('Hi', 'Info here', true)
slim heart
So inlineBool would be true if u want inline
slim heart
That’s what I’m saying to do
ember atlas
Oh lol you said bool
slim heart
I’m just trying to not tell him to just throw true into his statement with no idea what it does
slim heart
You absolute large brains
ember atlas
Yes
twilit rapids
U sure
slim heart
Anyways @earnest phoenix got it?
slim heart
Have it not inline
slim heart
The 3rd iirc
It’ll affect the next one over
If not the 4th
But it’ll auto format because it can’t just like go on forever

https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/ShardingManager?scrollTo=shards I'm not 100%, but I'd start here
I would think they iterate the Collection and fetchClientValue for https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/Client?scrollTo=status and guilds.size

question for the dblapi.js:
how can i get the coding language of an Bot?

near ether
Hey I’ve recently created an MMO for my bot but a lot of my players are having issues with the cooldowns.
I have a a few cooldowns that are 10 minutes long, but for some reason they are sometimes stuck on cooldown forever.
I originally implemented cooldowns by writing their ID’s to a JSON file and having the program check if their ID is in there. With a low amount of players, this works fine. When 100+ players are playing, it didnt work that well anymore. I thought it’s because if multiple people use the command at once, the file gets written to at the same time and therefore gets out of sync, and also because my PC was writing to a JSON file too slow.
Is there a better solution for this? Should I be putting the cooldowns in a player specific JSON file instead? I already have player specific JSONs to manage their MMO progress. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
earnest phoenix
stop using IO
keep cooldowns in memory
cease
you should never use files as a database
stray garnet
@sage bobcat The Libary of the Bot
earnest phoenix
you don't unless the owner exposes it
e.g on an info command or on a website
you seem to be misunderstanding how bots are ran
stray garnet
@earnest phoenix info command
earnest phoenix
a bot being alive and listening to messages is no more than a mere websocket connection, what language it used to achieve that is not revealed unless the owner explicitly defined it in a command or on a website
grizzled jackal
I have my cooldowns stored in a Collection
earnest phoenix
^ yeah it's probably the best to keep cooldowns like that, in memory
near ether
Ok that’s exactly what I did a few days ago, I just stored the ID’s in a list instead of JSON files and called that list every time I needed to check for cooldowns
But I’m still running into the same issue when a lot of players use it
earnest phoenix
optimize it
near ether
True
near ether
Yea it only needs the ID of the player, which is the only thing going in there. I just do set.add and set.delete when I need to mutate it and put them on or take them off cooldown. I have a setTimeout function to remove them from the cooldown list when it’s time
The bot is hosted on my PC and not a dedicated hosting service (yet)
earnest phoenix
javascript generally isn't a language that's performant so a huge amount will require bigger end hardware
near ether
I do have a very good pc, 64 gb of ram should definitely be enough
Do you think moving to a dedicated service would solve this problem? Or is there something I’m missing?
By the way thank you so much for helping out so far
earnest phoenix
i mean, yeah, obviously
your pc is being used for things other than the bot
meaning the bot process cannot use its hardwares capabilities properly
near ether
Yea lol I do play a lot of destiny with my friends
earnest phoenix
which is why there are flops in performance
near ether
But even when it’s idle during the day when I’m at work, it still has this issue
earnest phoenix
it's probably because of uncleared cache used by other processes/games
lunar crystal
Are we forced to create a new file for our commands or can we do everything in index.js ?
earnest phoenix
your choice
id probably recommend making each command a seperate file though
much easier to work with
lunar crystal
Ok but I can't associate index.js and fun.js ( The command file for fun :X)
near ether
If your bot is small/limited (like having 2 or 3 text commands), then having everything in one file is fine
lunar crystal
Oki thank u very muvh ;D
near ether
But if it is bigger or your foresee it getting bigger, then do multiple files
earnest phoenix
if you have a lot of commands it gets cluttered after a bit
lunar crystal
For the moment I'm gonna keep just only 1 file
grizzled jackal
Aye, it's personal preference anyway - whatever is easier for you. And with big projects, seperate files are easier to maintain
earnest phoenix
you dont have to scroll through 5k lines to fix a command then
near ether
Exactly
amber fractal
Also performance and modularity
lunar crystal
Can you say what is wrong in my code ?( I'm beginning js)
Oki thank u ;O
I don't find the solution in discord.js 😬
earnest phoenix
^
harsh nova
is your command a class?
lunar crystal
I tried everything but still not working
slender thistle
Did you learn JS beforehand
grizzled jackal
Pretty sure he was told before about learning the basics of JS but refuses to do so
lunar crystal
I am actually /learning/, I just start yesterday a video about node.js ( Grafikart )
harsh nova
tthen maybe dont jump straight into bot? there are better ways to learn
slender thistle
Why not get off the not beginner-friendly library and learn the very basics first?
You are barely learning to do anything useful for yourself if you jump straight into something without learning
earnest phoenix
we told you yesterday to go learn the language
lunar crystal
Yes u are probably rigth, but I thpugth that create a bot would be a good way to lean js
slender thistle
It's a very bad idea
earnest phoenix
you can't create a project without even knowing the language syntax
what you thought was wrong
lunar crystal
You are right ...
earnest phoenix
please stop rushing into it, take your time and learn the language
it's not a thing you do in 15 minutes
near ether
You should probably start with python or something tbh
Python is very beginner friendly
slender thistle
JS and Python are somewhat beginner-friendly
near ether
True
slender thistle
Then again, it comes to preferences
near ether
I prefer python to teach people because it reads how you think, if that makes sense lol
earnest phoenix
python has a distinctive syntax from what you're going to be met with later on if you get into software engineering
it's also really not performant since it's interpreted code
Python is definitely a special child
not a bad one
just special
grizzled jackal
I still never bothered to try Python
earnest phoenix
i had basic experience with in cs
disliked the syntax so much
Yeah I've tried python for a bit, I just couldn't get used to it at all

no, because there are around 200 other bots to review @raw sail
there is a line

Efficiency at it's best.
data.timestamp = data.timestamp ? new Date() : undefined;
Now instead of typing timestamp: new Date() I can type timestamp: true
