I'll try that out
#development
jaunty stump
If anyone has a better way to do discord marriages please let me know as anything is helpful.
quartz kindle
just use an embedded database like sqlite
jaunty stump
how would I do that and implement it into my code
Like I said. I never have messed with database stuff and SQL stuff
true basin
Any idea regarding making a bot auto-detect selfbots?
true basin
Altdefender?
warm marsh
Using the Discord API is there a way to change the expires_in of a access_token?
true basin
I’m trying to make my own auto-moderator bot, lol.
warm marsh
Check user response time with message length?
west spoke
^ and/or check status changes, nickname changes, time between messages, etc
jaunty stump
I am just gonna not do anything with SQL anymore as it is just way to out of my range and I don't have time for it.
nothing is working
cobalt umbra
Big oof
jaunty stump
Like I want to pull my hair out
warm marsh
Just do it?
cobalt umbra
What's so hard?
near ether
Hey guys, I’m having an issue where my bot ends up DM’ing the wrong people even though my code explicitly does not allow for this to happen
jaunty stump
discord marriages and setting up a SQL database for it and having it work without giving me an access denied error
near ether
Like, the command takes two users and immediately DM’s them yet somehow some random user who uses the same command around the same time may receive a DM meant for someone else
jaunty stump
someone does a command like +marry @granite pagoda and then it "gets them married" or something like that
cobalt umbra
Only one mariage or multiple allowed
west spoke
jaunty stump
should just be one allowed per person
cobalt umbra
Idk seems easy, just have column man and column wife and store user ids
cobalt umbra
I could help but on mobile so rip
near ether
I have extensively, basically it works like
‘;fight @earnest phoenix’
And the bot will DM the person who wrote the command, and the person who was mentioned.
The code just immediately DM’s them using ‘user.createDM()’ and ends the command. How could it be sending messages to the wrong people if everything is taken care of in a single call?
late hill
show code
near ether
Ok, hold on a second
quartz kindle
@near ether you are probably using global variables accidentally
earnest phoenix
Hello
I was wondering if I could make it so doing ;addtochannel <member> would give that member access to read the channel
how would I go about doing this?
harsh nova
permission overwrite
earnest phoenix
I searched (ChannelUpdate) and ChannelEdit in d js docs and I couldn't find i
near ether
`currentTurnPlayerDM = await challenger.createDM();
opponentDM = await opponent.createDM();
let responseEmbed = new DiscordJS.RichEmbed();
responseEmbed
.setAuthor(opponent.tag, opponent.avatarURL)
.setTitle(Choose your move!)
.setColor("#fff000")
currentTurnPlayerDM.send(responseEmbed)`
harsh nova
earnest phoenix
because you don't know how to use docs
earnest phoenix
ok...?
near ether
meant for @quartz kindle and @cobalt umbra (sorry for ping)
earnest phoenix
is there anyway to avoid checking a == 0 || b == 0 twice ?
store the boolean returned in a variable
ah i see
quartz kindle
@near ether
are you defining those anywhere else? using var/const/let
if not, then those are global variables
and will be affected by multple users using it at the same time
earnest phoenix
hmm maybe if i drop the ``` printf("invalid input received");````
near ether
okay, thank you my dude!
quartz kindle
let ensures they are locked to the current scope
near ether
would you mind explaining/sending a link to why not having one of those prefixes leads to the creation of a global variable?
earnest phoenix
@earnest phoenix do you think it's possible ?
quartz kindle
when you declare a variable using var/let/const, it will be created in the current scope
if you omit that prefix, it will attempt to find and modify an existing variable with the same name
falling back to the global scope if no variable exists
earnest phoenix
how do i prevent scanf from overflowing
valid frigate
it's not preventing my app from running or anything
it's just really odd since i'm catching errors and it's not an unhandled one
valid frigate
ok if this were github id probably comment something like "i'm retarded" but the issue was my logger logging every single error 
earnest phoenix
shy rose
@valid frigate your just printing error.stack and not error.message
haughty mica
alright so
i’ve been trying to make a balance command using discord.js
but can’t get one that works
does anyone know one that i could use?
valid frigate
lol chewey
i was using a custom error that didn't pass message
dw it's all good now
dark oak
I am trying to pull the users the bot is working for, but I am getting errors. How to do it?
I tried with client.users.size which is not correct.
cobalt umbra
wym not correct @dark oak
dark oak
It’s inaccurate
grim aspen
client.users.size has a system called cache
cobalt umbra
"Without the client option fetchAllMembers you will not automatically cache all users in all guilds. Your cache will gradually fill up over time."
dark oak
Ok. I’ll try like that now
cobalt umbra
method doesn't exist anymore. That quote is from the https://github.com/discordjs/discord.js/issues/2367
anyway looks like you have to wait for the cache to fill up
balmy lantern
How do i make a good support server?
cobalt umbra
Channel for help, channel for suggestions, channel for logging updates, general channel. I don't see what more is needed
balmy lantern
Solid
I was gonna do a faq
cobalt umbra
yea that too. I have that as a bot command but can come in handy to have too. Good idea I'll add it to my guild 
dusky marsh
Is there a point to using a sharding manager as opposed to internal sharding?

twilit rapids
You define answer after you use it
var rand = (Math.random() * answers.length);
var question = qa[rand][0];
var answer = qa[rand][1];
answer is not the same as answers too btw
earnest phoenix
is there a way to announce all the servers that the bot will go onder maintenance for 2-3 days starting the day etc?
earnest phoenix
well I can't do that to take out the helper command
green kestrel
so, ive seen a mention thats like <@nnnn> where nnnn is a user id
what's a mention like this for? <:aNgErY:514287724031639582>
saw it in my debug screen
ive also seen a mention that starts like: <!@nnnn>
is it a server specific avatar?
slender thistle
That's custom emotes
green kestrel
ah ok, thought so after looking at it some more

heavy void
Can anyone help me? I'm having a problem with translate command, the error says 403 Forbidden. Here's my code
knotty steeple
can u just upload to hastebin pls
heavy void
k
knotty steeple
good luck with help tho
west raptor
@heavy void the variable text holds one string so if you were to run translate hello I want to translate this text en jp text = hello
kinda hard to explain but it's how you parse args
heavy void
Yeah, I'll just do const text = args.slice(2).join(' ');
So do u have any idea why the error says 403 Forbidden?
heavy void
I already put my api key there
bronze salmon
Forbidden means it cannot authenticate, an invalid key would be 400 i believe
mossy vine
401 iirc
bronze salmon
just checked, invalid key is 400
bronze salmon
it is``` "code" : 400,
"errors" : [ {
"domain" : "usageLimits",
"message" : "Bad Request",
"reason" : "keyInvalid"
} ],
"message" : "Bad Request"
bronze salmon
"Invalid key" is a part of "Bad Request"
bronze salmon
for what are you trying to use it?
heavy void
Translate ^
bronze salmon
lemme check
heavy void
I put my google api key but still says 403 Forbidden
heavy void
Yes

hello
marsh frost
Y'all should make a Development category, and separate the languages into channels.
JS, Java, Python, Other.
mossy vine
unnecessary imo
marsh frost
Unnecessary for JS devs, sure.
mossy vine
yikes here we go with the language wars
channels would often be unused
what channel would you put something like 'hi can anyone help me with api design'
marsh frost
How is it a war? I'm just saying most use JS, I enjoy giving a hand with Java. The posts get swallowed up though.
mossy vine
then you can either directly contact someone who knows java or ask in java related servers
slender thistle
DBL is full of people who don't care what channel they're in
mossy vine
yeah, look at the people who advertise in #topgg-api
marsh frost
So there's my point Cyber, Why do Java devs have to ask in a different server but JS devs get plenty of assitance here.
mossy vine
because js is more widely used
there are no rules against asking java questions in this channel
slender thistle
Most people here use JS but you are always welcome to help anyone who codes in Java (even though there aren't many Java questions here overall)
mossy vine
in fact there are quite a few people who could help with it
marsh frost
I'm not asking for help. I'm saying I'd like to help in this server, as I do in others.
But the Java questions I see in here go unanswered and by the time I see them, they are too far up.
Generally speaking of course.
mossy vine
then you can ping the person who asked and provide an answer
slender thistle
While that might look convenient, the way of moderating those channels will be far worse than it already is
sudden geyser
or you could just go in discord-api
slender thistle
Depends on how many exactly we're talking
mossy vine
is java really that widely used for discord bots as js and python
marsh frost
No, not as widely used, but it's a great solution. I'd like to have more people use it.
amber fractal
@mossy vine no
mossy vine
so having a channel for java help = more people using java or am i completely missing the point
marsh frost
Yep.
Anyone who comes here new, would see the dev chat and just assume JS is the only way to go.
amber fractal
That's mostly false but yeah.
slender thistle
that'd not be too many new channels, I agree. However, DBL community isn't really that smart overall when it comes to stuff like this.
Like I said before, #topgg-api is a good example. And DBL isn't really mainly for help with bot development, either.
marsh frost
So shouldnt we try to better the community and offer real help, not 
?
JS is all spoonfed.
slender thistle
Also some people might still believe that Java is the same as JavaScript at some point, soooooo
marsh frost
mossy vine
yikes
marsh frost
So having two channels would help that notion I guess? lol.
Is there people who think that?
slender thistle
Definitely there will always be people like that
marsh frost
oof.
slender thistle
As quarter/half the bots listed on DBL are made with bot makers or are copies of public bots
marsh frost
Anyway, you say dbl community isn't that smart. Segregating channels would be a good way to help with that. As I said, I love using Java as a solution due to it being a full-featured OOP language.
Learning how to use a language that uses OOP is a great stepping stone for people.
mossy vine
no language wars here nah
marsh frost
no not at all. You literally just get asshurt every time someone talks about pros and cons
😢
Where am I insisting a language war?
As I said, I love using Java as a solution due to it being a full-featured OOP language.
Learning how to use a language that uses OOP is a great stepping stone for people.
slender thistle
Not really sure about the segregating channels tbh. Might work out. Only one way to find out, but then again, I'm just some fucking guy.
marsh frost
We're all just some guy haha
mossy vine
you say js is all spoonfeed and start praising java. idk im pretty salty rn
marsh frost
Im just some guy making a suggestion
You seem salty af
Generally JS resources are spoonfed. Is that out of line to say?
It's true.
mossy vine
no, i mostly agree
marsh frost
So why are you disagreeing?
slender thistle
I'd like to put my 5 cents in but I'm python 
mossy vine
its not all spoonfeed by a long shot
marsh frost
Go to #python-development @slender thistle !
oh wait.
No of course not Cyber.
No one said that.
mossy vine
sure
slender thistle
Eh, I personally wouldn't use that channel much as there isn't that many py devs in DBL who need help with it.
People could get salty seeing a help channel for one lang but not for the other, which could lead to fair fuckshow of itself, imo. 
And creating many help channels isn't something a bot list really needs
earnest phoenix
😳
earnest phoenix
ooka ooka
slender thistle
Sounds like a suggestion that might've worked out if DBL community wasn't salty about everything
marsh frost
mossy vine
yes but we are salty about absolutely everything
marsh frost
Apparently
slender thistle
Exactly
marsh frost
How does that advance the knowledge of a community.
slender thistle
¯_(ツ)_/¯
amber fractal
Tfw you assume most js bots are spoonfed, but disregard every bot that isn't spoonfed because you are attempting to show that java is better than js, which is an opinion.
earnest phoenix
you definitely acted like it
mossy vine
js is the future? we are fucked
green kestrel
real developers write discord bots in C++. ducks
marsh frost
JS is the future, yes. Fullstack development is taking the world by storm.
green kestrel
today i learned, the big two, dyno and mee6, are written in javascript/node.js
late hill
You're suggesting to have multiple channels because certain languages aren't used as much meaning those kind of questions can end up getting burried, that logic means all unpopular languages would require a channel? That's a lot of channels, no?
green kestrel
im often surprised at the scalability of node
marsh frost
no. I said JS, Java, Python, and Other Languages.
late hill
If this server was aimed at being some kind of development help server it would make sense to do something like that
On here, meh.
green kestrel
it might make sense to consider different channels for different libraries and/or languages, until you realise the js and C# ones would be rammed, and the rest would be ghost towns. i'd be all alone in the perl and php ones.
mossy vine
actually, mee6 uses a variety of languages for different purposes
marsh frost
Why not aim to be as inclusive as a community as you can be?
Libraries would be too many Brain, Java alone has three major ones.
green kestrel
@mossy vine im using two languages, as i have a backend and frontend process
green kestrel
it lets me update the bot with no visual impression of downtime
marsh frost
Okay Ricochet, then lets close this channel
earnest phoenix
ok
late hill
There's a big difference between 1 channel and 10?
marsh frost
Why have it at all by that logic
late hill
😂
earnest phoenix
you don't even know what you are saying now lmao
green kestrel
1 channel = manageable... 10 channels = an admin/moderation nightmare
late hill
I've asked questions about java in this channel
earnest phoenix
they get tons of funky people
late hill
And have always gotten a reply
It just took a little longer than my JavaScript questions
green kestrel
i think ive only ever asked generic api questions
earnest phoenix
I've asked a few questions here
I always make sure to look up something before I ask it
green kestrel
my problem is ive chosen a broken and unmaintained api and decided to fix it, because its lightweight and simple
slender thistle
Sit down you masochist
green kestrel
so im less asking "how do i do X in api" as to "the code i have is sending X, should it send Y"?
@slender thistle shhh, i like pain
🤣
earnest phoenix
just make your own api 😎
sinful lotus
node is great tbh
green kestrel
by the time im done, what i have will basically be my own library fork
sinful lotus
code your thing efficiently and you can run 20k guilds in a single node process
I'm running 15k guilds per node process rn
Usually I use js because it isn't strict, kinda faster to code
green kestrel
@sinful lotus you can, but should you? isnt that why we have sharding?
sinful lotus
4 process 61 shards 👀
green kestrel
\o/
earnest phoenix
make it 69 shards 😎
sinful lotus
Less process = Less Ram Overhead
even node is great, spawning a new process costs more memory
specially with duplicates on your cache
you know the thing
so I run as less as possible
lunar crystal
What dbl mean ?
sinful lotus
Besides as you can see, I don't even stress my system.
earnest phoenix
discord bot list
green kestrel
i once wrote a C++ server program that worked a bit like node does... years before node was a thing. people said 'it will never scale', it did, very well, which is why i'd never knock node's performance
it's all about socket engines and non blocking multiplexing imho
lunar crystal
Ok
green kestrel
you have a lot of ram on your server
yeah i'd offload it to a queue in an sql database and batch it out to something else
sinful lotus
as long as your code is async, your event loop will usually be ready to handle the next process
Yes, doing cpu intensive applications on node.js is where node.js do not excell
but offloading it in another process or probably "programming language" and just use node to serve or parse it
its fine
green kestrel
my dev server has 16gb ram, and jira is taking half of it
i'm considering moving my bot to my live server now, it has 16gb too but more of its free, and a much faster connection
sinful lotus
I got 3 dedicated
one with 40 cores and 32gb of ram
one with 16 cores and 24gb (that server)
one with 8 cores and 16gb of ram
the 40 cores is sponsored so I just pay the 2 below
green kestrel
sponsorships lucky you, i pay £70 a month for my own dedicated server at OVH
im thinking of getting shot of it and downgrading to a £30 a month at digitalocean
green kestrel
for dev i had a dell T310 in my utility cupboard at home
sinful lotus
like for ex: when their power gets cut or etc
but internet wise
its a 1gbps verizon fios
so I use it as our main music node
marsh frost
Do companies not do colocation anymore?
sinful lotus
the sponsor ship I have is not from a company
its an individual person
its his personal server
and he dedicated half of it to us
although we share 1 ip so I always ask him to open ports
thats why I have 2 other dedi servers
so if I need to open a service or port
it would be hassle free
marsh frost
Yeah I mean, used to, you could rent space from dedi providers with YOUR hardware.
So you basically just pay for reliable power/internet.
sinful lotus
or if you want if you have capable internet at your house but with dynamic or cgnat ip, you can buy a cheap bandwith sufficient vps and use ssh tunnel
so you can host webservers from your home
marsh frost
marsh frost
Oh that's a pretty good solution to get around dynIPs
sinful lotus
yes since I usually ssh tunnel from my router
so our whole home network would get routed
and goodbye cgnat ip from my provider
marsh frost
Not bad
green kestrel
colocation is a pain in the bum
sinful lotus
because in reality, buying a static ip is more expensive than renting a cheap vps in my place
green kestrel
you have to purchase hardware, in the event of a raid degredation you have to drive to the dc with new disks
marsh frost
I live in the country and my internet is unreliable as all hell.
I have a 20' antenna in my backyard running to a 4g modem with a t-mobil simcard in it lol.
I couldn't host anything.
green kestrel
and youre responsible for installing it etc
sinful lotus
I recently got fiber, 25/25 for 25 dollars
green kestrel
it makes more sense to rent a dedi
sinful lotus
with a cgnat ip
green kestrel
ew. cgnat.
marsh frost
I'd kill for 25/25 lmao
sinful lotus
we are lucky they expanded on our place
so now I use my laptop to ssh tunnel to my server
and host things on my laptop
marsh frost
But you're still limited to 25/25 lol.
green kestrel
it sits in a utility cupboard above the washing machine and freezer connected to 110mbit down, 15mbit up internet
sinful lotus
better than having a cgnat ip
green kestrel
cgnat is arse
marsh frost
I don't have to deal with it being on a mobilke network AFAIK.
Everytime my modem restarts I have a new ip though >.>
Have to rewhitelist myself to my servers
PITA.
sinful lotus
I believe mobile networks widely use cgnat, but when you restart your connection, it connects you to other cgnat system
so you get a new public ip
while on my fiber, even I restart it, Im stuck on the same internal ip and public ip
marsh frost
I havent seen fiber being sold with speeds that low around here.
Usually fiber starts at 100mbps in the states
sinful lotus
while 25 mbps for 25 dollars is the best deal you can get in my place
the big telcos charge 30 dollars for 5 mbps in my place
sinful lotus
🇵🇭
marsh frost
yikes.
slim heart
in mongo is it possible just to say if something exists at all? cuz like atm i just have to fetch all and filter as such, the issue is its just an object with different values so i cant tell if it exists or not but i can filter by values which is annoying

that image you just sent is <1mb

Same image
peak bloom
perhaps however you're uploading is compressing it somehow
but your bot is trying to upload it raw, and it's too large
shrink it below 8mb on disk
peak bloom
doesn't matter what it is as long as it's <8mb
west spoke
eternal mesa
i dont really know in this specific situation what is happening
but the limit is 8mb
amber fractal
You can up the limit for nitro boosted servers
the cdn I may be missing some context, which cdn? Discords?
amber fractal
Well if you catch exceptions, on a 413, you can error out with a message like "File too large" or you can do checks beforehand.
Or if these photos are accessible through a website, like if you have your own cdn, you can post the link, it just wont embed.
slender thistle
@west spoke Isn't that >8 MB
earnest phoenix
but the limit is 8mb
well yes, but no
the limit is 100mb
it's just locked

Is JS a good language to use if I plan on making a bot that utilised a data base for auto-moderation?

Go by what language you are comfortable in

Opps nvm

I’m going with python, but a while ago someone stated that JS is not a great language for auto-moderation due to its single threaded nature.

Is there a discord api method to check if a user is dm-able?
like I want to check if my bot has perms to dm a user 
without actually dming them
cobalt umbra
Not sure, I just use try catch
spare goblet
yeah but i don't actually wanna dm them

I asked Gods they said there is no way

so large bots can reach the 10k temp ban through not being able to dm users
valid frigate
how would i get npm packages that "require" glibc to work in a docker container running on a node-alpine based image?
valid frigate
i see
humble pendant
module.exports.run = async (bot, message, args) => {
message.delete();
message.channel.send(":ok_hand: :weary: :ok_hand:")
}
hopefully obvious question
how do each of you store your api key for your bot's use?
civic scroll
process.env
green kestrel
do you hard code it into the bot source code, do you have a config file? environment variable? db config?
twilit rapids
config.json
civic scroll
env
civic scroll
.json config is easy to be exposed
civic scroll
unless that is .eslintrc
valid frigate
Apps sometimes store config as constants in the code. This is a violation of twelve-factor, which requires strict separation of config from code. Config varies substantially across deploys, code does not.
green kestrel
currently i have a .ini which is in "../config.ini" in relation to the bot's directory. i was contemplating an environment variable, but then i still need to store that key in a .env in plaintext so its no better either way right? my config is outside of the application directory.
valid frigate
config.json is a file basically full of constants
ah if you have access to something similar to process.env like in node
store it there or use like a .env file
civic scroll
used that
valid frigate
mm
especially if you're going to be using more env variables
with node you can set it like NODE_ENV=production node app.js or something from the cli but that obviously gets tedious after a while
green kestrel
i think i have eight api keys now
one for discord, and seven different bot lists including this one
php laravel has .env files for config
theres only one problem, everyone seems to stash them in webroot.

Hello! Im coding a Bot with java and want to implement a Tag System. For the b#tag renane [old Name] [new Name] i have to rename a file. But he always send the message Tag existiert nicht wich means in english the tag doesnt exist but the file exists in the correct Folder. Any ideas why it doesnt work?

@violet moss I'd recommend using a database
On top of that
Seems like a vulnerability in there
What if I use "../" in my argument
Will your code check for this or
Can I just freely go through all your files 👀
As for the actual issue I think it might be that you're checking for a file that's entirely lowercase while some of the files in the directory you've shown start with an uppercase character

how can i tell if someones an admin with guild_subscriptions set to false?
quartz kindle
fetch the guild using the api to obtain its roles
and fetch the member if not cached, to obtain its roles too
quartz kindle
you get a guild object, which contains an array of roles
amber fractal
@earnest phoenix you know conneting is a promise right?
You can wait for connecting by just awaiting, you'll need to change how you connect in the forst place a little bit tho
I do this
let mongoDataBase = await MongoClient.connect('mongodb://localhost:27017', { useNewUrlParser: true }).catch(console.error)
client.db = await mongoDataBase.db('name')```how much ram do u need to handle like say 30k users? 
steel patrol
hey, I have made an app and I can let the bot send messages in the channel I want. I also managed to let the bot send DM to users, but I would like to know whether it is possible to see which messages the bot sent (I don't have the id anymore of the message) and view potential replies from users
earnest phoenix
well yes, but no
steel patrol
so yes on the sent messages and no on the replies?
earnest phoenix
yes, but no on both of those
you would have to loop getting messages in batches until you find your bot's messages (which could potentionally take hours on end to finish, and you're going to hit ratelimits), there are many other variables here, like, what if someone deleted your bot's message, how are you certain which message you need to get?
store the message somewhere in code and you can track replies from there
quartz kindle
@earnest phoenix depends on the library you use, and what optimizations you do to it
earnest phoenix
discordjs :)
quartz kindle
it can potentially use a few hundred MB, or it could use 50MB
quartz kindle
@steel patrol you can fetch messages from a channel, if you have the channel id
as long as the messages are not older than 2 weeks
quartz kindle
oh
steel patrol
yeah, but I need to access the DM I sent
if that's not possible that's okay, we're still just testing the app
quartz kindle
im not sure, i actually havent tested this
do dms have a new channel id everytime you create them?
try creating the dm channel again, and fetching messages from it
steel patrol
well, correct me if wrong, but wouldn't it be easier to get the message id on creation and then use that to access it later ?
quartz kindle
well, yes, but you said you didnt have the message ids anymore
earnest phoenix
the dm channel id remains the same
steel patrol
no, but for future design that would be better
mm ok
I'll try that then to retrieve the past id and start designing with future message id's
thx
quartz kindle
so then yeah, if you create a new dm channel, you should get the same id, which you can then use to fetch messages
green kestrel
yay, ignore lists are implemented 🙂

This guild has 71k (many bots tho) members alone, so if you're using a gig of ram just for one server you need to think of some optimizations
unique nimbus
Python caches everything in every server and this server takes like 100mb ram
quartz kindle
i actually misread him and though he said 30k guilds lul
green kestrel
in my bot i added a feature where people with the correct permissions on a server can enable 'chatty' mode on a per channel basis. basically the bot becomes talkative, responding to anything it recognises without need for a prefix or mention. if this was on by default it would be an absolute no-no. is there anything that specifically says i cant/shouldnt do this even as an opt-in setting that the admin turns on? even in this state, it still is hard coded to ignore all bots.
slender thistle
I would recommend locking it to a channel
quartz kindle
imo, nothing should come enabled by default
unless its required for whatever it is that the bot was designed to do
and even then, if possible, requiring it to be enabled by the guild admins would be better

Hi, when does a bot need the "Embed links" permission? I didn't checked it and my bot was successfully sending "hidden" text links in RichEmbed

when the user sends a message, where do i find the value that says if theyre a server administrator?
ive tried iterating roles, but for the initial server owner, the administrator permission appears to be given absolutely, separate to the roles and i cant see it there
if it matters, im using guild_subscriptions=false which seems to hide a bunch of stuff
slender thistle
Does it hide their guild permissions too?

not sure, where would they be? i can show you the whole 'd' part of the packet for a message, if it helps?

im using a role to denote access right now
but i want administrators to override that role and just get access, as they seem to override near everything else
otherwise the server owner goes to use the bot and it tells them they dont have the permission they need (manage channels)
technically, they do
looks like it should be in author.server_permissions
i dont have that part of the object 😦

can someone tell me how to make a bot send a message when i post a youtube video?

message event -> check if content starts with desired youtube url (e.g https://youtube.com/ or https://youtu.be/) and if the author id matches your id, if both checks pass, send the message
quartz kindle
i think he means have the bot detect an upload in youtube (or not)

@mild escarp You can have the bot use your youtube channel's rss feed at https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id= {your channel id here}.

is there anyway to visit any of the servers your bot is in ?
green kestrel
oh jeesus. after 2 hours debugging, i found out why crappy discordphp can't handle this server. when it adds 75000 users, it does an O(n*n) loop, two foreach's inside each other, one to add members to an array and another to search through the presence list (75000x75000) looking for the presence to associate with each member... ffs.
taking out the presence stuff allows it to register, even while using guild subscriptions

@earnest phoenix There is a custom client that lets you login with your bot token, but that was like years ago, I would also think thats against TOS. You could have your bot give you open invite links to servers as well, but thats kinda scummy.
green kestrel
also this thing is passing huge (20mb) json objects around as copies, not refs

@heavy marsh filter the array (or slice) the playing song and map the rest

hmm
is this overkill?
/* Drop these before we even parse json, it's much more cpu efficient. We dont care for TYPING_START or PRESENCE_UPDATE */
if (substr($data, 0, 23) == '{"t":"PRESENCE_UPDATE",' || (substr($data, 0, 20) == '{"t":"TYPING_START",')) {
return;
} else {
$data = json_decode($data);
}
parsing presence updates and typing start messages was costing me a constant 2-3% cpu, and this is a dual cpu, quad core xeon
that does seem to have helped a fair bit

well if its noticeably faster then yeah its good lol

first and best advice youll hear is, after ive given an answer whether its useful or not, go get some sleep.

i can relate
🙂
however its a vicious cycle, the more tired you are the harder it is to concentrate and the more mistakes you make, you just end up introducing bugs 🙂
deep wedge
https://hastebin.com/cukeqapemu.js is my command but I have an issue were the 3 error messages get sent at once instead of one at a time. Most likely a issue with not having return in there somewhere but I just cant seem to get it to work
green kestrel
you mean you get multiple language versions of each line being sent?
deep wedge
No the languages is fine, this is the problem it sends all these at the same time
When they are supposed to be like, if it doesnt have perms it will only send the first and if only the embed color is not defined it will only send the second
Its just the smallest thing I can feel it but for the life of me I cant figure it out and im gonna just stay up all night till I get somewhere
green kestrel
is line 12 supposed to be like this?
if(Guild.language === 'german') {
message.channel.send(emessage.ge_noembedlinks)
}```or like this:
message.channel.send(emessage.ge_noembedlinks)
}```First one
green kestrel
yeah it will, unless you put a return after each error, or something
deep wedge
I tried adding return but thats no use
earnest phoenix
try the second
green kestrel
after its executed the "if (!color)" block, it falls through into "if (!title)" and then "if (!message)"
earnest phoenix
perhaps
deep wedge
The language parts are not the problem they work perfectly its just the error messages
will all send at once
green kestrel
i dont normally indent like that
ive put the returns to the left, so you can easily see what i mean
you could even just put one return at the end of each major block
the if (!title) and if (!color) etc
but the way ive done it i think is clearer
btw your indent/brace code style make for some difficult reading, perhaps you should run it through a pretty print, or use the code indenting facilities of your editor?
it will make your code easier to follow as you write it
earnest phoenix
that just makes the code look nicer tho
green kestrel
personally i find it really hard to grok code where its got like 3 or 4 }'s on one line
i guess some people find that easy to read
deep wedge
I'm able to read the code easily idk I just like the way it is but yes brain those returns you added worked
green kestrel
this is an ideal case for switch statements, or simply an associative array of responses
i'd have done that, tbh
syntax may be a little off, its been a while since i did js
deep wedge
I can finally sleep now, damn 2 hours in the last 48 hours
green kestrel
is it even js, what language are you using, @deep wedge 🙂
deep wedge
i just have some stuff in other files
like
error codes in a other file it makes it easier instead of writing out the one error code each time
i can just have it all together
if i ever need to change it
green kestrel
thats a good idea, because you can pass those separate files to a translator
without giving them source code
in an ideal world all strings should be in an external lang file, but im a hypocrite because i never do it... or i start out with best intentions planning to, and then stop doing it part way because its a pain
deep wedge
most of my error messages and error codes are just like js ${error.nouserfound} or ${emessage.nouser}
green kestrel
that works ok in some instances
however, some languages have oddball syntax.... i mean spoken languages
like, posessive parts of a sentence having to be listed first, or feminine and masculine different wordings for words that are the same in english
etc
deep wedge
Yeah that happened in French so I just wrote out the error code and seen where the words went and just plopped it in there
green kestrel
a good i18n system accounts for all of that, but like i said im a hypocrite and really should use such a system myself. i think node has several
