nope
I dont wanna have to save the image as a file
I shouldnt fricken have to
lusty dew
Google is your best friend if you can’t figure something out
loud salmon
thats a rip
delicate zephyr
I wouldnt have asked if I hadn't googled
Got it
17th page of google
but I got it
loud salmon
also dying pls read the channel etiquette pinned, telling people to go to google doesn't really help D:
lusty dew
Yes but it should be a resource people need to learn to use
delicate zephyr
- If you know something, and someone asks a question about that thing, don't shit on them for asking. Either help them or stay quiet. If you don't have anything nice or helpful to say, keep quiet.
vagrant stream
How to get the ID of the first channel on the server? How to send an invitation to the same channel to the console?
Please mention
delicate zephyr
@vagrant stream What language?
vagrant stream
JavaScript
modest maple
why are you generating invites to be sent to console
lusty dew
I was not shitting on them what the fuck
delicate zephyr
msg.guild.channels.first().id @vagrant stream
Dying I highlighted what you should have friend
vagrant stream
Thanks
loud salmon
@vagrant stream do not generate invites without permission. It is not allowed and can get you banned from here and discord itself
@delicate zephyr 
lusty dew
I wasn’t shitting on you though. I was giving you a suggestion as if you rely on us too much you won’t learn anything
vagrant stream
Okay, so I know the ID of the desired channel, how do I get the invitation URL to it?
delicate zephyr
@opaque eagle i got it
opaque eagle
oh ok
modest maple
@vagrant stream why do u want to make the invite>
lusty dew
But whatever, it was a mistake coming back here smh
loud salmon
D:
opaque eagle
you're not saving the image, right... just create a png stream or a buffer
opaque eagle
oh ok
vagrant stream
@modest maple Interesting, must
opaque eagle
just wanted to make sure
loud salmon
um, dying, he already said he used google excessively. He was asking here because according to him he was on the 16th page of google
modest maple
@vagrant stream what?
lusty dew
I did not know this information else I wouldn’t have suggested googling
loud salmon
@vagrant stream do not generate invites without permission. It is not allowed and can get you banned from here and discord itself
lusty dew
😂
modest maple
I did not know this information else I wouldn’t have suggested googling
then dont say "google it"
vagrant stream
Oh....
@modest maple I want to be on the servers where my bot is, to watch all the errors
loud salmon
thats not allowed avenger
slender thistle
No one said "go spoonfeed"
loud salmon
uh, no one said that? He was simply asking a genuine question and you just told him to google despite not knowing the topic?
delicate zephyr
Like even though I figured it out what sinister said is a good example of how to help
you're not saving the image, right... just create a png stream or a buffer
lusty dew
I just said I’m done with the topic why continue it
vagrant stream
I know, but this my bot is not popular, and my friends only use it, what difference does it make for what?
loud salmon
it breaks discord tos
modest maple
two big No Nos
slender thistle
Be it for your friends or not, creating invites through your bot without the server members' consent is against Discord ToS,
Keep your curiosity limited
vagrant stream
ToS?
delicate zephyr
i mean just enjoy ur bot not being given any permission at all when joining a server
modest maple
Terms Of Service
delicate zephyr
slender thistle
Or straight up kicked 
vagrant stream
Okay, I won’t do that, you warned me. But still how to do it?
modest maple
we're not gonna teach you how to potentially break TOS
after learning your intention
lusty dew
Lol
vagrant stream
😒
modest maple
loud salmon
i already told him smh 😠
vagrant stream
How to convert ID to channel name?
lusty dew
I didn’t see
Fetch the channel using the ID
Then get the name from the data you get back
vagrant stream
Or how to send to the channel knowing its ID?
lusty dew
Get the channel with its ID and send to it?
loud salmon
@vagrant stream All your issues can be solved easily by reading your language documentation. Please go here for your language docs: https://canary.discordapp.com/channels/264445053596991498/272764566411149314/614917425837768765
if you keep asking questions that can be easily solved by reading the documentation you will be punished
vagrant stream
Ask you faster
slender thistle
I would doubt that
vagrant stream
@lusty dew yes
loud salmon
uh
slender thistle
Searching the docs will entirely depend on you while asking someone will depend whether they know the answer and have the time/are willing to answer the question
loud salmon
last chance avenger, please, just read your language documentation and search for how to send a message to a channel
loud salmon
thank you.
vagrant stream
chan = msg.guild.channels.first().id
client.channels.get(chan).send("Message")
Thanks =)
slender thistle
Uhhhhhh
loud salmon
shiv pls
marble juniper
you could just do
slender thistle
No I mean they could straight up access the first element of guild.channels
instead of re-getting it 
lusty dew
Xd
marble juniper
sry I meant
lusty dew
Message failed auto correct screwed it up
marble juniper
//fixed ver kek im dumb
msg.guild.channels[0].send("yeetus deletus")
earnest phoenix
K
quartz kindle
channels is a collection, not an array
lusty dew
Lmao
quartz kindle
i dont think you can use numbered indexes on it
lusty dew
Tim shhh
marble juniper
ugh
quartz kindle
you can do this tho xd ```js
let channels = new Proxy(message.guild.channels,{
get: function(obj,prop) {
return [...obj.values()][prop]
}
});
channels[0].send("lul");
sudden geyser
more work!
lusty dew
XD
marble juniper
or dis
let defaultChannel = "";
message.guild.channels.forEach((channel) => {
if (channel.type == "text" && defaultChannel == "") {
if (channel.permissionsFor(message.guild.me).has("SEND_MESSAGES")) {
defaultChannel = channel;
}
}
})
defaultChannel.send("ok")
if you just want to get the first channel the bot can send messages in
from the server
sudden geyser
even shorter:
message.guild.channels.find((channel) => channel.type === "text" && channel.permissionsFor(message.guild.me).has(FLAGS.SEND_MESSAGES));```
surreal sage
how to do custom emojis with bots?
surreal sage
something with <e\🆔>

become !4165_Hyped_ZeroTwo
surreal sage
gonna try
surreal sage
id?
marble juniper
var emoji = client.emojis.find(e => e.id == 'id').toString()
if you don't want to use < >
surreal sage
ok
lusty dew
Lol
surreal wagon
But with me it's working
west raptor
it literally can't
sudden geyser
the last two digits of a number becomes 00 for me with ids, so it can't.

lusty dew
The ID changes exactly
So it doesn’t work
If the ID changes it’s not a valid ID anymore
@west raptor also what’s nix-shell?
Is it a custom shell or smth
west raptor
Kinda, it's basically an isolated environment
lusty dew
Ah okay
west raptor
https://nixos.org/ if you wanna learn more
lusty dew
Okay
Now for my question
When using Klasa (discord.js framework) how would I use the KlasaReady event
I know I gotta use the event class but idk how I’d go about doing that specific event
west raptor
I assume it'd be something like this https://klasa.js.org/#/docs/klasa/stable/Tutorials/CreatingEvents
I'm guessing KlasaReady is basically just the ready event fired when the bot is ready?
taking a look, it does seem that way
so make a standard event how you usually would and for the event name it'd be klasaReady
lusty dew
Ohhh
I thought I had to include some random stuff oof
Okay thanks dream I missed that entirely
quartz kindle
js supports big ints, but it is kinda impractical to use them
restive furnace
I've forgot how i could call first object in a object?
object[0] is giving me undefined/null.
quartz kindle
objects are not ordered, they dont have a concept of first or last
you have to convert them or a part of them to an array by using Object.keys() / Object.values() / Object.entries()
restive furnace
Okay, ill try that. Thanks.
lusty dew
What would be the best way to make different kinds of ships for a sim bot
west raptor
ships?
lusty dew
Like say 1 ship has a health of 100xp and can mine 200 ore every 20m or so
west raptor
if you want to store them yes
west raptor
Database
lusty dew
I know
But would I use an ID system or what? What’d be the best way of doing such a thing
west raptor
well, can the user customize the ship?
west raptor
Alright then so you could say have a class with the properties and when ever a new ship is created create the class and store it
earnest phoenix
i usually use twitter's snowflake system to generate ids
it is also what discord uses
lusty dew
Well the user themselves can’t make a ship
Ima have already made ships that the users can buy/upgrade too
west raptor
it's basically the same concept, no?
quartz kindle
if each ship is unique and all of them must be stored, then unique ids/snowflakes, else you can just store an entry for the user, containing stuff like ship type, component levels, xp and such
west raptor
^
quartz kindle
do you need to access ships without users?
like searching for highest level ship, biggest ship, etc
lusty dew
Well
earnest phoenix
https://hastebin.com/gafajawaye.js
What did i wrong there?
lusty dew
Yes kinda
quartz kindle
what kind of database are you gonna use?
lusty dew
Ima have a "shop" that people can buy higher level ships
earnest phoenix
ohw shit
lusty dew
So I need to be able to track what the highest level ship is from the current ship they have
quartz kindle
is each person limited to one ship or can they have many?
lusty dew
Default is 1
But they can buy a perk with in game currency to be able to run more ships
west raptor
@earnest phoenix what why are you storing true/false as strings
lusty dew
And I’m using sequelize + Sqlite3
earnest phoenix
@west raptor idk
west raptor
you're just making life harder on yourself
quartz kindle
ok, so one way to do it is to have a dedicated table for ships
each ship will have an owner id, and all other properties
earnest phoenix
@west raptor well i could store them as non Strings but thats not the problem rn
quartz kindle
from what i can see, your embed is empty because none of those conditions passed
ie, none of the database entries is null
lusty dew
Discord on my pc is stuck in a loop of installing the same update
@quartz kindle that’s the model I’m thinking you mean
quartz kindle
if you make owner id unique, then each person can only have one ship
lusty dew
Oh true
quartz kindle
instead you can make an auto incrementing id and have that as your primary key
lusty dew
Wdym
quartz kindle
just make owner id an index
earnest phoenix
@fallen plinth Blizzard
west raptor
what
quartz kindle
id: {
type: Sequelize.INTEGER,
autoIncrement: true,
primaryKey: true
},
lusty dew
Okay
quartz kindle
and add an index
lusty dew
And how would I use that
quartz kindle
{
indexes:[
{
unique: false,
fields:['ownerId']
}
]
}
earnest phoenix
@earnest phoenix
west raptor
@earnest phoenix stop??
quartz kindle
define("ships", {columns}, {indexes});
lusty dew
Like that
?
Oh wait
I have to restart my pc hold up
module.exports.Ships = seq.define('ships', {
owner_id: {
type: Sequelize.INTEGER,
autoIncrement: true,
primaryKey: true,
},
attck_boost: {
type: Sequelize.SMALLINT,
defaultValue: 1,
allowNull: false
},
def_boost: {
type: Sequelize.SMALLINT,
defaultValue: 1,
allowNull: false
},
health: {
type: Sequelize.SMALLINT,
defaultValue: 100,
allowNull: false
}
},
{
indexes: [
{
unique: false,
fields: ['owner_id']
}
]
})
like this tim?
earnest phoenix
@quartz kindle null is when it does not exits
quartz kindle
@lusty dew yeah that should work
but owner_id should not be the primary key, nor auto increment
primaryKey and autoIncrement should be another field
lusty dew
Oh okay
quartz kindle
@earnest phoenix yes, but does it exist?
earnest phoenix
no
lusty dew
Now I gotta figure out the class eek
restive furnace
you need to wait few seconds, cuz onGuildAdd (or wut evr it is) will be fired before even the guild is ready sometimes
quartz kindle
wut
lusty dew
Hm
Don't think that is how it works
Tim, what would be the best approach for the class?
I have never really used classes so eek
earnest phoenix
why don't you write that online ?
west raptor
what
opaque eagle
What's the difference between mongoose's findOneAndUpdate() and updateOne()
earnest phoenix
running the robot but the website does not write that online
earnest phoenix
I understand and thank you for your prompt reply
west raptor
@opaque eagle findOneAndUpdate returns a document
lusty dew
module.exports = class ShipBuilder {
constructor(health, power, ore_cap, def_boost, attk_boost, owner_id){
this.health = health;
this.power = power;
this.oreCap = ore_cap;
this.defBoost = def_boost;
this.attkBoost = attk_boost;
this.ownerID = owner_id
}
}
isn't this how I would setup my class?
west raptor
updateOne does not
quartz kindle
@lusty dew you dont actually need to use classes, you can use anything else that makes you more comfortable
lusty dew
Well
quartz kindle
but if you wanna dive into classes, its worth the while
quartz kindle
have you ever used prototypes?
quartz kindle
classes, prototypes, instances, inheritance, etc... they are all connected, its like a whole world by itself
classes are basically a nicer way to create prototypes
in javascript EVERYTHING runs on prototypes
when you create an array, you're using a prototype
lusty dew
Ooo
quartz kindle
an object, a string, a number
lusty dew
I didn't know that
quartz kindle
everything uses prototypes
so basically, you when you have a piece of data, like "test" or 123
you have a data type, and methods attached to that data type
"test" is a string, and it has methods such as .length, etc
those are part of the prototype, or the object class
they are not actually part of the data
just attached to it
lusty dew
Yea
Makes sense
so basically in a class when you are doing
module.exports = class ShipBuilder {
constructor(health, power, ore_cap, def_boost, attk_boost, owner_id){
this.health = health;
this.power = power;
this.oreCap = ore_cap;
this.defBoost = def_boost;
this.attkBoost = attk_boost;
this.ownerID = owner_id
}
get() {
//blah
}
build() {
//build the ship
}
}
Would those be considered methods?
quartz kindle
yes, get and build are methods
you can modify and extend prototypes and classes, like this
classes are the same, just with a neater syntax
broken jay
Which is better for developing bots: PY or JS?
quartz kindle
both are average
lusty dew
Preference
Use whatevever you are comfortable with
Okay so my question is
In the class how would I make the different types of ships?
quartz kindle
the best way would be to create a base class and then extend it with specific ship classes
for example
west raptor
@broken jay It really depends honestly
quartz kindle
class BaseShip {
constructor(data) {
// build your base ship
}
}
class specialShip extends BaseShip {
constructor(data) {
super(data)
// build your specific ship
}
}```Both have their pros and cons
quartz kindle
in the base ship, you should have all the properties and methods that all ships have
and then in each specific ship, you have that ships specific properties and methods
quartz kindle
and when you create a ship instance: let myShip = new specialShip(input)
west raptor
wouldn't specialShip be bad naming
quartz kindle
myShip creates a specialShip which in turn creates a BaseShip and joins everything together
broken jay
Is there any article where is both pros and cons for developing discord bot?
west raptor
No, not really
quartz kindle
the only pros and cons is: which language are you more familiar with and prefer using, and which runtime you prefer running in your computer or vps
quartz kindle
super gets things from the parent class
quartz kindle
so when you create an extended class, you need to activate the parent as well
lusty dew
So essentially
broken jay
But performance? Which is faster?
quartz kindle
both are more or less equal in performance
lusty dew
Like do I do
west raptor
*Typically though javascript is a little faster if you wanna get technical
but then it again
it comes down to how you optimize it
lusty dew
I am confused about this class thing xd
broken jay
ok
lusty dew
Tim would I make a build method in the BaseShip class to build the default ship?
quartz kindle
unless you wanna use "unbuilt" ships for anything
lusty dew
Hm
That actually gave me an idea
I could have the option to allow them to scrap the ship for parts and sell them to get some money to go towards a new ship
quartz kindle
yeah you could give it a destroy() method for example
lusty dew
Well
quartz kindle
user experience wise
lusty dew
Hm
Let me put this in a different perspective
You know those games where you build say a farm and it takes x time to finish the build
and it takes resources to build said farm
I was thinking of something kinda like that
You have to collect x amount of materials to be able to build a new ship
quartz kindle
then you do need an unbuild status
just add a status property to the ship
and some kind of progress
lusty dew
Wdym status?
quartz kindle
a ship that is not yet built is still a ship
one way to do it is to have a status property
so you can check ship.status
another way is to have a dedicated "unbuilt ship" class
lusty dew
Eek
Okay
So when I am doing the build method
do I just do something like
Wait
when making the build method
do I just give it all the health, def_boost, attk_boost, etc values and save them to the database?
or is there something specific I have to do
quartz kindle
a class instance itself cannot be saved in a database, so you need to extract and rebuild your classes
so you need to give all the values to a constructor when you create a class
so that when you create an instance, you can supply existing data to it
quartz kindle
lul
lusty dew
Tim
Do you mean like this
module.exports = class ShipBuilder {
constructor(health, power, ore_cap, def_boost, attk_boost, owner_id){
this.health = health;
this.power = power;
this.oreCap = ore_cap;
this.defBoost = def_boost;
this.attkBoost = attk_boost;
this.ownerID = owner_id
}
build(){
this.health = 100;
this.power = 1;
this.oreCap = 200;
this.defBoost = 1;
this.attkBoost = 1;
this.ownerID = someID
}
}
?
quartz kindle
something like that yes, but an unbuilt ship is still a ship
so go ahead and js constructor(...,built) { this.built = built; } build() { if(this.built) return; }
lusty dew
so
module.exports = class ShipBuilder {
constructor(health, power, ore_cap, def_boost, attk_boost, owner_id, built){
this.health = health;
this.power = power;
this.oreCap = ore_cap;
this.defBoost = def_boost;
this.attkBoost = attk_boost;
this.ownerID = owner_id;
this.built = built
}
build(){
if(this.built) return;
this.health = 100;
this.power = 1;
this.oreCap = 200;
this.defBoost = 1;
this.attkBoost = 1;
this.ownerID = someID
}
}
and I am assuming the default of build should be false
or would it be true
lusty dew
Okay
quartz kindle
then inside the build method, you should check if the owner has enough resources to begin building
lusty dew
Wait why won't I need ownerID in build method
quartz kindle
because this ship already has an owner id
quartz kindle
everything you put in the constructor is part of the class, and everything can be accessed from all its methods
lusty dew
Ah mk
quartz kindle
so the build method will build a ship with default values
what about the ship type?
do all ship types have the same default values?
lusty dew
No
Each ship type has different values
health, def, attk, etc will be different
Also I just realized something
I am going to be using ore that they mine as the resources
I have yet to make the ore class
quartz kindle
but still, learning classes is worth it, and coding oop does feel good af
you will probable end with something like a user class, which has an array of ship classes the user owns
and you can assign classes as properties of other classes and create circular dependencies
like djs does
for example, ```js
class Ship {
constructor(owner) {
this.owner = owner
}
}
class User {
constructor() {
this.ships = [];
}
buyShip(type) {
let ship = new Ship(this);
this.ships.push(ship);
}
}
so you can do user.ships[0].owner.ships[0].owner.ships[0].adInfinitum
quartz kindle
user.buyShip() will create a ship and add it to the list of ships the user class has
user.ships is an array
you can make it an object or Map if you want
lusty dew
so user.ships[0] first ship in the array then you use .owner to see who owns the ship
why do you keep doing ships[0] after that
quartz kindle
to demonstrate the circular dependency
lusty dew
Ah okay
quartz kindle
we build a Ship class by supplying user's this, so ship.owner is a reference to the entire user class
no need to do stuff like users.find(user => user.id === this.ownerID)
if you want to find the owner object from within a ship instance
just a nice and tidy way to connect things
discord.js does this as well, such as message.guild
or message.channel
lusty dew
module.exports = () => {
class Coal {
constructor(price, type){
this.price = price;
this.type = type;
}
create(){
this.price = 10;
this.type = "Cheap"
}
}
class Diamond extends Coal {
constructor(data){
super(data)
}
create() {
this.price = 200;
this.type = "Expensive"
}
}
}
So something like this?
I am working on the Ore (resources)
quartz kindle
the problem is
classes are supposed to be like a physical object you have in your hands and manage
resources are things you collect and spend
its kind of a different thing
quartz kindle
you are not going to have 1 coal lying around and then do things with it are you?
like paint it pink or put wings on it
quartz kindle
your classes are the user and the ships
resources can simply be a property that is part of the user
to keep track of how much the user has
lusty dew
Hm
How would I make it so it isn't resources in total but like
say for the next ship they need 2000 coal and 2000 iron
quartz kindle
so like the more ships they have the more expensive it gets?
regardless of ship type
lusty dew
Yes
quartz kindle
class User {
constructor() {
this.ships = []
this.iron = 0
this.coal = 0
}
buyShip() {
let cost = this.ships.length * 1000 + 1000;
if(this.iron > cost && this.coal > cost) {
let ship = new Ship(...);
this.ships.push(ship)
}
}
}```in this case, i made cost a simple formula based on how many ships the person has
each ship increases the cost by 1000
lusty dew
Hm
Is there an easier way to do such a thing
Like the formula is perfect
but defining each ore like
this.coal
this.iron
this.diamond
etc
seems a bit of a tedious thing
as I plan on having 20-30 ores
quartz kindle
well, you can put them in a resources object
this.resources = {
iron:0,
coal:0,
etc
}```yup
amber fractal
You can extend classes
lusty dew
Yes I know
quartz kindle
yeah
lusty dew
but would it be better to split them up?
Make it cleaner instead of like 10 classes in one file
quartz kindle
probably
lusty dew
Okay
amber fractal
Oh i didn't know that's what you meant lol
quartz kindle
should be yes
extending classes should be done when you have a base type of something, that has methods that all classes should share
for example, if you have baseClass.mymethod() and you extend it, then mymethod() will also be available in the extended class by default
lusty dew
Hmmm okay
Also
My big question is
How will I tell which ship they are trying to buy?
Cause they don't have to buy the next one avaliable
quartz kindle
there are many ways to do this
there is something called static properties and static methods
a static property is a property attached to the class, but not to its instance
for example
class test {
constructor() {
}
ok() {
}
static ok() {
}
}
the static method is not available in an instance, meaning you can access it by test.ok but not by a = new test(); a.ok
so basically, you can use static properties and add metadata to a class, information about the class, methods that do not target instances
a class becomes an instance when you use new
lusty dew
Okay
That kinda makes sense
but how is this useful in telling what ship they are trying to buy
and what resources it takes to buy said ship
quartz kindle
class Ship2 {
static requirements() {
return {iron: 10, coal: 10}
}
}
let reqs = Ship2.requirements();
if(iron > reqs.iron && coal > reqs.coal) {
let ship = new Ship2();
}
sure
another useful thing to know about classes, is to make use of getters and setters
they help make your code neater as well, basically if you would make Ship2.requirements() a getter, you would be able to use it like Ship2.requirements.iron instead of Ship2.requirements().iron
quartz kindle
get requirements() {}
or in the above case static get requirements() {}
similarly, you can use set myMethod() {} if you want to do ship.myMethod = somevalue instead of ship.myMethod(somevalue)
quartz kindle
the real advantage in using getters tho, is called lazy loading
you can use getters to generate data only when you access it
for example get time() { return new Date() } will always return the current time
but this.time = new Date(); will return the time when you created the instance
and both are used as Ship.time
lusty dew
Ahhh okay
Okay so in my ships.js file (holds all the ship related classes)
I have this
class RustBucket extends ShipBuilder {
constructor(data){
super(data)
}
static get requirements() {
return {coal: 3000, iron: 4000}
}
}
in my users.js (holds alll the user related classes)
Will I need to destruct the RustBucket class to get the requirements?
Like
const { RustBucket } = require('./ships')
module.exports = () => {
class User {
constructor(){
this.ships = [];
this.resources = {
iron:0,
coal:0,
diamond:0,
lapis:0,
emerald:0,
dragonDust:0,
darkCrystal:0,
uranium:0
}
}
buyShip(){
let cost = RustBucket.requirements.iron * 1000 && RustBucket.requirements.coal * 1000
//blah blah
}
}
}
But that doesn't seem to make sense actually
cause then that would be specific to one ship
quartz kindle
you need to export the classes
module.exports = { RustBucket, OtherShip, etc }
then you can require them like that, or just require all of them
const ships = require("./ships")
then you can specify the ship in the buyShip method
buyShip(type)
then you can let cost = ships[type].requirements
and then js for(ore in cost) { if(this.resources[ore] < cost[ore]) return "not enough " + ore; }
and add the formula somewhere in there
quartz kindle
you dont need to export the User class inside a function
unless you want to call it from a function but then you need to return it
module.exports = class {...}
User = require(...)
user = new User(...)
or
module.exports = (...) => { return class {...} }
User = require(...)
user = User(...);```ore is red for some reason
Idk if it is the linter being weird
or if it is something else
When I hover over it, the thing says "Unresolved variable or type ore"
I think it is the linter acting up
Eek
quartz kindle
probably being weird, cost should be an object
you can use other types of loops as well
lusty dew
buyShip(type){
let cost = ship[type].requirements
for(ore in cost){
if(this.resources[ore] < cost[ore]) return `Not enough ${ore}`
}
}
So like this then
quartz kindle
no, requirements is the requirements object of the ship
you cant multiply an object by 1000
quartz kindle
yeah
lusty dew
and then I would use the formula in the if statement right?
opaque eagle
Can someone help me with mongodb... i keep getting this error: CastError: Cast to ObjectId failed for value "656271376638017556" at path "_id" for model "Guild"
I've always used Postgres
Mongodb is so new to me lol
anyways if someone can tell me why that happens it would help
quartz kindle
cost is the requirements
ore is the ore itself
cost[ore] is the requirement for that specific ore
lusty dew
Okay
So I am assuming to make the formula I would do something like ore * 1000
or whatever
quartz kindle
yeah, but double check your formula
if iron cost is 1000, cost[ore] * 1000 = 1000000
wooden lance
anyone know of a huge list of profanity I can stick in an array?
quartz kindle
and you want to make it based on how many ships the user has
opaque eagle
["Ollie"]
earnest phoenix
don't waste time on making word filters
there'll always be a way to bypass them
and you'll get more false positives than true positives
wooden lance
true
opaque eagle
i tried to make an array filter once
opaque eagle
it detected class in a codeblock as ass
wooden lance
Yeah, it's hell
earnest phoenix
theoretically speaking there would be ~1111998^1990 ways to bypass your filter
which is a huge number
wooden lance
yes
hmmm just found an npm package https://www.npmjs.com/package/noswearing
seems different from others
lusty dew
Roblox has the most sophisticated swear filter ever
wooden lance
yes it does
amber fractal
It's the worst one too
wooden lance
it catches everything...and more
amber fractal
It isnt even theirs
lusty dew
Still
wooden lance
i wouldnt be surprised if it is using ai
amber fractal
earnest phoenix
every filter depends on how restrictive the chat box is
wooden lance
ooooo
lusty dew
SuperCell uses it
@quartz kindle Would I simply do
let formula = this.ships.length * ore + 1000 as you did in your previous example for the formula
quartz kindle
something like that yeah
quartz kindle
figure it out :3
lusty dew
Yea I am trying
xd
So if cost is the requirements of that ship
and cost[ore] is the requirement for that specific ore
shy turret
for some reason, this happened to my config:
https://pastebin.com/ieHDnrTj
function configSet(name, response) {
try {
config[name] = [response];
fs.writeFile("./config.json", JSON.stringify(config, null, 2), function(err) {
if (err) throw err;
});
output = 1
return output;
} catch(err) {
output = 0
return output;
}
}
function and
try {
eval(fs.readFileSync('moves//fighteval//' + move + ".txt").toString())
} catch(err) {
simpleEmbed(message, "Use a Move", 'An error has occured.\n**ERROR**: `Something went wrong when trying to compile "moves//fighteval//' + move + '.txt"`')
console.log(err)
return
}
configSet("fighthp_" + message.author.id.toString(), userhp);
configSet("fighthp_" + opponent.toString(), opponenthp);
code
dont ask me why im not using require
earnest phoenix
stop using json files as a database
lusty dew
@quartz kindle Would it be something like:
for(ore in cost){
let formula = this.ships.length * ore + 1000;
if(this.resources[ore] < cost[ore] / formula) return `Not enough ${ore}`
}
Wait no

"Stop using json files as a database"
This. All of this.
shy turret
@oak imp then use what as a database?
restive furnace
@wooden lance u need to install build-tools
earnest phoenix
a database
restive furnace
@shy turret sql
earnest phoenix
because json files are not a database
shy turret
dont have it lol
wooden lance
thank you
earnest phoenix
sql is a language
restive furnace
sql database i meant
shy turret
it's better than using text files as a database which i used to do
quartz kindle
my bot still uses json lmao, and its at 2k guilds
earnest phoenix
it's better than using text files as a database which i used to do
it really isn't
it's equivalent
it's still sync IO operations
shy turret
not really
oak imp
I mean if you need something simple and lightweight, sqlite is a decent option @shy turret
shy turret
how do i get sql
earnest phoenix
sql is a language
restive furnace
and u can use orm, and then its ez as json
earnest phoenix
for the second time
there are databases that implement sql
sqlite is one of them
lusty dew
Sequalize is a good orm
earnest phoenix
it's local so it's perfect for small bots
restive furnace
TypeORM or Sequelize on js 👌
wooden lance
@restive furnace just to clarify, am I installing it with npm, or something else?
restive furnace
apt
wooden lance
okay
restive furnace
sudo apt install build-tools should work
quartz kindle
apt if you're on linux
restive furnace
he said he is on ubuntu
quartz kindle
👍
restive furnace
Anyone know how I could install node-gyp rebuild on ubuntu? I can't install npm modules.

lel and now i have to wait for apt to install half a gb of stuff
restive furnace
centos xd
i've many times installed ubuntu desktop on ssh lol
and its like 5 gb
wooden lance
oof
quartz kindle
if you're on a vps, half a gb of stuff will be done in couple minutes
wooden lance
u would think
restive furnace
ye and my internet is pretty fast so it download gb/2-3mins
xd
its one of fastest in my country
wooden lance
very slow when ur server is in germany
restive furnace
it is slow if ur vps on germany and u like somewhere like america or asutralia
australia
quartz kindle
location shouldnt matter, whats your servers internet speed? 10mb?
wooden lance
i believe the speed is like, 100mb/s
quartz kindle
so theorically is should be done in a minute
wooden lance
yes
quartz kindle
100mb/s can download 750mb of data per minute
wooden lance
i have no clue it just says this
restive furnace
100mb/s download = normal, 30-40mb/s upload = normal in finland
quartz kindle
usually when installing stuff with apt, its not the internet that makes it slow, is the actually installing process, disk write and cpu
earnest phoenix
100mb/s 😳
wooden lance
it's a vps, i have no clue how i would do that
earnest phoenix
are you sure it's not 100mbps
wooden lance
im going to sound like an idiot here, but what's the difference?
unique nimbus
From what it shows its 100mbps
earnest phoenix
megabytes vs megabits
unique nimbus
Megabits most likely
restive furnace
mb/s = mbps ?
earnest phoenix
no
wooden lance
im confused
earnest phoenix
the difference is in casing but i always write in lowercase
oak imp
Mb != MB
wooden lance
wot
restive furnace
mb per or / s
west raptor
what
earnest phoenix
8Mbps = 1MB/s
restive furnace
okhe
west raptor
@oak imp it's the same thing
earnest phoenix
because 8 bits is 1 byte
restive furnace
my downloading from steam is usually at 10mb/s
topaz fjord
1 byte is 8bits
oak imp
Megabits is not the same as megabytes, no
earnest phoenix
100mb/s would be 800mbps internet which is almost a gigabit connection which is rare
west raptor
you just said Mb != MB lol
restive furnace
its not actually rare again in finland many of internet providers provide 1gb internet
topaz fjord
MiB
oak imp
Yep, Mb is shorthand for megabits, whereas MB is megabytes
wooden lance
who on earth came up with this system
west raptor
what that's dumb as fuck

a lot of people confuse Mb with MB because a lot are tech illiterate and spread false information around
install better SQLite 3 for start
how else would you abbreviate them, dream
wooden lance
@oak imp i have no clue what ur saying
earnest phoenix
it follows SI system rules
earnest phoenix
they confuse it probably
oak imp
Because not many people outside tech fields know the difference

@oak imp tbf i only learned that today
it's not really taught

if you take IT it's one of the first lessons you have i think
slender thistle
We haven't been taught that neither in school nor in college
modest maple
slender thistle
and I'm going for programming 
modest maple
just learnt it passivley
quartz kindle
nobody has time to differentiate them, we just use context. when talking about internet speeds, Bits is the defacto standard, regardless of which abbreviation you use, we all know what you're talking about
same with file sizes, but with bytes

Wait... perchance are you both from the states?
@west raptor and @slender thistle I mean

node-gyp rebuild is still being annoying
slender thistle

west raptor
the opposite

Russia?
slender thistle
close hit but this is getting #memes-and-media

Ah yes, apologies
@wooden lance look into rebuilding from source.
It works a little different
Might help ya
west raptor
first they need to give the full error lol
quartz kindle
which module are you trying to install btw?
wooden lance
@oak imp what is the command
oak imp
Anyways, this developer kitteh is off for a shower and then chores. Good luck peeps lolz!
quartz kindle
node-gyp is just a requirement, you dont need to explicitly install it
wooden lance
i am an idiot
west raptor
I've found node-gyp issues are often the problem of not having windows build tools
but im not
sure if you;re using windows
wooden lance
nope, using ubuntu
wooden lance
o god this is long
quartz kindle
not as long as a C program full of warnings because of outdated coding style
modest maple
xD
pycharm is like that
has a go at you for not having a blank line at the end of your code
west raptor
ah I get those all the time when compiling programs
they're not too bad
running gentoo you get used to them eventually
wooden lance
im just going to send the debug log because there is no way i am going to be able to copy all of this

@topaz fjord because it refuses to make one

Also it can be any kind of file, a virus can be launched if the file is opened

wooden lance
o there u go

@lusty dew sorry but These guys don't know how viruses work obviously right back at you lol
lusty dew
🤷
topaz fjord
fuck the virus
west raptor
you cant put a fucking virus in a damn log file lol
topaz fjord
if they want my data they can have it
topaz fjord
also macos virus protection gang
quartz kindle
@lusty dew also, your code is trying to multiply ore by 1000, which is the same as doing "iron" * 1000
amber fractal
It's just a log. If you have the time to put a virus in a log file to execute on open, you have too much time.
west raptor
this is npm generated also
wooden lance
lol it worked
west raptor
valid point
lusty dew
@quartz kindle Okay, so I am assuming I would have to get the value the same way I did before cost[ore]? You said it is the specific ore so shouldn't that be like 2000 * 1000 if iron is set to 2000\
quartz kindle
yes
quartz kindle
cost[ore] + formula will most likely be wrong
lusty dew
Why so?
quartz kindle
if person has 1 ship, and the ship you're trying to buy costs 2000 iron
1 * 2000 + 1000 = 3000
cost[ore] + formula = 5000
lusty dew
yea
so that means the cost for the next ship would be 4000
that is assuming they want the next ship level
quartz kindle
well, its fine, but its a different formula alltogether
grave mist
Should I ask here about bot development only? I got question related to html
quartz kindle
you can ask all development questions
lusty dew
It is development in general
grave mist
That's what the topic of the channel said that's why asked
So I'm making a website
And I want to make 1 section cover the whole page
lusty dew
What would be a better formual to use?
grave mist
Like when I go to the page, I will see one section with some texts and when I scroll, I should see another section with some texts so 1 section = 1 screenful or whatever you call it
quartz kindle
your decision. the original formula is supposed to increase costs by 1000 for each ship. the way you did it increases cost by 1000 plus the base ship cost
quartz kindle
@grave mist so you want it to scroll automatically?
lusty dew
so doing cost[ore] + formula is includingthe base ship cost as well?
quartz kindle
or still have manual scrolling
grave mist
Manual scrolling
grave mist
What does vh mean
quartz kindle
view height
quartz kindle
yes
grave mist
And btw, I used ```css
position: absolute;
left: 50%;
top: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
text-align: center;
absolute position removes the content from the document flow
quartz kindle
to center an element is better to use css display: block; margin: 0 auto;
grave mist
Yea, but I mean the center of screen
quartz kindle
vertical center too?
grave mist
Yea
