the gateway today is not the same as the discord gateway back in 2016
i'm guessing the client had to make an additional request to get the user's nickname
hence the exclamation mark
but right now the entire member object is sent through the gateway/rest
so the exclamation mark is obsolete
no idea why it's still in the client
earnest phoenix
uh
i know
that's not what i was talking about
i was talking about how the exclamation mark is obsolete but the client still does it
modest maple
oh yh
west spoke
The ! is for nicknames i think
peak venture
Ahm. how do i count every member on all the servers my bot is active on?
fleet chasm
including bots?
peak venture
excluding bots
modest maple
modest maple
fleet chasm
hmm
from what i see, youll have to do something with client.users and user.bot
not very good with collections, sorry
peak venture
ah nP. π
knotty steeple
dont use <Client>.users.size
if you want a real count
thats only cached users
to find a true user count you have to iterate through each guild adding their member count together
fleet chasm
(and make sure each user is not a bot)
peak venture
<Client>.users.size seems to give undefined anyway
What would make every user including bots be like then?
modern summit
hey, idk if this is the right place to ask questions, but could someone help me? I'm trying to have the bot check for answers from the people in my server, and then respond if that person was correct or not
knotty steeple
you can just use a foreach on <Client>.guilds
@earnest phoenix try to think of commands on your own
@modern summit please dont do that
fleet chasm
would a collector work?
modern summit
don't ask questions?
modern summit
oh ok well
knotty steeple
wouldnt args be something after a command
modest maple
@modern summit sending everything separately will get you ratelimited and API abuse
use block quotes
fleet chasm
youll get delays
modest maple
block quotes r still handy
modern summit
well I wanted it formatted neatly
modest maple
you can either use block quotes or put \n at the end of each part and send as one long long string
fleet chasm
\n is a neat whitespace
modern summit
latest ye

Package.json
knotty steeple
so you are following a tutorial to make a discord bot?
modern summit
fleet chasm
did you run npm i discord.js?
modern summit
okay maybe a trivial pursuit bot wasn't the best place to start lol
fleet chasm
you can try using the example as a learning point if its hard
modern summit
no, not really I know C# alot better
and I've heard that js is commonly known as the easier one
modern summit
I should probably learn js either way though
earnest phoenix
pssstt....https://github.com/Quahu/Disqord
earnest phoenix
well
earnest phoenix
it really depends on what you're planning on doing/doing right now
js is not for everything
knotty steeple
try using js to make a desktop app
modern summit
I'm planning on going into computer science / game development , and I'm currently just dicking around in unity
knotty steeple
electron 
fleet chasm
its best to stay on your main language, but if you want you can branch out
id recommend youd stay on c#, its easier
knotty steeple
well c# is also better for game dev
knotty steeple
and u can make native apps
earnest phoenix
that too
fleet chasm
its easier for them not generally*
knotty steeple
generally js is easier yes
earnest phoenix
it is generally
modern summit
aight so time to completly uninstall node.js lol
earnest phoenix
lol
fleet chasm
i miscommunicated but oh well

C# looks alot more "english" to me than other languages
like it looks easier to read to me

modest maple
what discord asks*
modest maple
thats not how that works lmao
tidal relic
What a useful answer
modest maple
im tryna respond inbetween karaoke
but basic rule
NSFW Content in anyway shouldnt not be able to be sent in a SFW channel
unkempt ivy
what defines nsfw content
glacial anchor
gore, porn, etc
tidal relic
Something that shouldn't be viewed as a child or at work
modest maple
Not safe for work (NSFW) is an Internet slang or shorthand used to mark URLs and hyperlinks which link to videos or websites pages that contain nudity, intense sexuality, profanity, violence or other potentially disturbing subject matter, which the viewer may not wish to be seen looking at in a public or formal environment, including a workplace, school or in a family setting.[1][2] NSFW has particular relevance for people trying to make personal use of the Internet at workplaces or schools which have policies prohibiting access to sexual and graphic subject matter
and no links wouldnt be tollerated
tidal relic
@glacial anchor an easy fix to this would be to just lock all links to NSFW channels
unkempt ivy
so p0rnhub links are π
glacial anchor
wait but if a website has a thing like "are you 18"
unkempt ivy
lol
glacial anchor
is this still nsfw?
unkempt ivy
@tidal relic that is way overkill
tidal relic
No
modest maple
technically thats what the NSFW channels do
glacial anchor
no shit im not locking the whole bot on nsfw
@modest maple but if the website itself has it
is this fine? or i still need to make an nsfw filter
tidal relic
If there's no way to easily check the rating, which was your problem in the first place, then why not?
modest maple
no as you're still sending it, if that link has a chance of having an NSFW Preview etc its still counted
tidal relic
Unless you want to manually make a request to the NG post to check if it's NSFW
earnest phoenix
if a command has potentionally nsfw content, it has to be locked to nsfw channels only
modest maple
glacial anchor
ok so im locking all commands besides song stuff nsfw only
modest maple
any thumbnails descriptions etc.. are π if they contain nsfw stuff
glacial anchor
as i cant make that filter because of the shitty web scraper
so whats that command again
modest maple
i mean you could
glacial anchor
msg.channel.nsfw?
unkempt ivy
which lib
modest maple
i think its is_nsfw() which returns a bool (python)
glacial anchor
if (<TextChannel>.nsfw) { return <TextChannel>.send("uh oh") }```rtfm
glacial anchor
?
tidal relic
Sure
glacial anchor
doesnt work
tidal relic
Wait did you just copy and paste exactly what you wrote
glacial anchor
if (msg.channel.nsfw) { return msg.channel.send("uh oh") }```
earnest phoenix
...which would explain how you have a syntax error
earnest phoenix
because what you're doing is
checking if the channel is nsfw
and if it is nsfw, return out of it
you want to do the opposite
earnest phoenix
yes
glacial anchor
before msg.channel.nsfw
earnest phoenix
negate the boolean
tidal relic
Should be

deep wedge
Has anyone every tried to make a userinfo command that would work on people outside of the server?
deep wedge
Djs I know how to do it jsut wondering if any big bots have it
modest maple
@weak parrot isn't that what Jack does?
weak parrot
Yes and I have seen a couple other bots who do it but I don't do JS
earnest phoenix
how it usually works is
try to find user in guild -> if not found look up your user cache on the client -> if not found use fetchUser which will return basic info on the user regardless of shared guilds
weak parrot
In C# you just use DiscordUser rather than GuildUser π©
weak parrot
Both libs. Both D.net and DSharpPlus use
Guild and Discord user objects (granted there are other C# libs but generally they're not really work talking about)
weak parrot
Both do their job so 
.
earnest phoenix
doing it's job properly?
what a joke
d.net is so broken
i used it for a while and still use it to this day in some projects
im going to be migrating to disqord though
weak parrot
Uhh what? What would you define as "broken"?
earnest phoenix
half of the things don't work. CacheMode? doesn't work, casting Socket types back to their interfaces and then force downloadng in cache doesn't work, the lib makes 4 extra unnecessary requests to just call one endpoint
etc etc
plus d.net is missing out on so many features the api offers right now
weak parrot
I do agree with you on the last part as for the rest never really had to deal with it.
If I can program a bot using a library I wouldn't call it broken but I do agree that it has quite a few flaws
earnest phoenix
i just generally suggest using dsp over d.net right now
i still have to try out disqord
which is supposed to be extremely low allocation
weak parrot
Hmm might look into it myself however as it's 03:35 I will be calling it here 
soft eagle
is this correct im getting a error bc it cant find the channel id or name its discord.js
amber fractal
That depends, do you pass channel in your command handler?
amber fractal
is channel your message 
scenic kelp
amber fractal
because you do channel.guild
channels do have a guild as well
but it's more common on a message
and messages have an id too so I actually dont know
soft eagle
this is a event to log when a channel is deleted
adding guild didnt do anything
my channel create event works but not the delete event
idk why it wont work ive been at it the past 40 mins
amber fractal
can you just copy paste the code real quick?
I know the picture
But I'm going to try it in mine
soft eagle
module.exports = (bot, channel) => {
let logs = channel.guild.channels.find("name", "server-logs");
channel.guild.fetchAuditLogs({'type': 'CHANNEL_DELETE'})
.then( logs => logs.entries.find(entry => entry.target.id == channel.id) )
.then (entry => {
author = entry.executor;
const embed3 = new RichEmbed()
.setColor("RANDOM")
.setTimestamp()
.setDescription(`**Action:** Channel Deleted \n**Target:** ${channel.guild.name}\n**Staff:** ${author.tag}`)
.setThumbnail(channel.guild.iconURL);
logs.send(embed3);
})
}```
sudden geyser
you could try logging entry in the find block and see the difference where target is undefined, or simply check if the prop exists as I assume that's what's throwing
soft eagle
channel.id is what is coming undefind from what i belive
amber fractal
https://oliy.is-just-a.dev/xsyevg_2567.png it literally worked for me
sudden geyser
you did channel.guild.<...> so I don't think that'd be it
soft eagle
what was it?
amber fractal
const {MessageEmbed} = require("discord.js")
module.exports = (client) => {
client.on("channelDelete", (channel) => {
if(channel.guild.id != "501853552835297280") return
let logs = channel.guild.channels.find(c => c.name == "staff")
channel.guild.fetchAuditLogs({'type': 'CHANNEL_DELETE'})
.then( logs => logs.entries.find(entry => entry.target.id == channel.id) )
.then (entry => {
author = entry.executor;
const embed3 = new MessageEmbed()
.setColor("RANDOM")
.setTimestamp()
.setDescription(`**Action:** Channel Deleted \n**Target:** ${channel.guild.name}\n**Staff:** ${author.tag}`)
.setThumbnail(channel.guild.iconURL);
logs.send(embed3);
})
})
}``` I changed it to meet how I set up my events and that I'm on master, but that shouldn't matterugg this is stressfull
sudden geyser
can you try logging entry to see what you get
soft eagle
this is how it loads the events
amber fractal
It doesnt get to entry
sudden geyser
it does though, it's line 6
amber fractal
yeah, line 6 is .then( logs => logs.entries.find(entry => entry.target.id == channel.id) )
where it says it cannot read property channel of undefined
meaning channel is undefined
which it was used before so it shouldnt be
sudden geyser
yeah, so it gets to entry, which I assume target does not exist, and throws Cannot read property 'id' of undefined.
soft eagle
its id of undifined
sudden geyser
which is the message: https://discordapp.com/channels/264445053596991498/272764566411149314/662525154588491815
soft eagle
so why would it error for me but not u?
soft eagle
how would i clear cache ?
amber fractal
do what they said and log entry
not clear it
for some reason your target is undefined
console.log(entry)
return entry.target.id == channel.id
})
)``` should suffice for that I believe, it will most likely still error but after logging the entriesI have no idea if that is syntactically correct
sudden geyser
actually it doesn't really need to be logged, more just guarded with checking if .target is valid
soft eagle
amber fractal
https://oliy.is-just-a.dev/ikmha_2569.png .target shouldnt be undefined that's what confuses me
amber fractal
did it log the entry
sudden geyser
docs bad
soft eagle
taget is defined for Steven but not my side for some odd reasson
amber fractal
yeah idk
soft eagle
this is a mess oof
let me try putting it in the main file instead of its own
ok same error :/
incase i did it wrong
ok i got it
sort of
i just removed the target and cvhanged it to this bc thats the only way it workd
at least it logs now
late hill
The api purely returns the id of the target
Don't know how discord.js handles that
I'd assume they simply use the target id and grab the "target" from your cache
The channel is deleted so it isn't there anymore
I'd expect it to at least give you the target id but guess not

@earnest phoenix i suggest you learn the basics of js before attempting bot making
wide nest
I have a question. I've just finished updating my bot and made some big changes. I'd really like a message to be sent to guild owners with info regarding the changes.
I remember speaking to someone about a month ago here regarding sending a DM to the guild owner on bot join and was told that it's bad practise. I'm not sure if broadcasting like that would also fall into bad practise?
modest maple
thats not bad practice thats API abuse
modest maple
i mean it is
fleet chasm
i think by broadcasting, sending a message to all guild members
modest maple
you would be sending potentially hundreds or thousands of messages to users in a go
earnest phoenix
it would depend on the amount of guilds the bot is in
wide nest
72 and Guild owner only.
modest maple
that would be API abuse then
sudden geyser
Oh, every guild owner. I didn't see that. api abuse
wide nest
I didn't think about API abuse 
fleet chasm
you could try updating your bots page, or maybe warn in its status
earnest phoenix
I'm trying to make a dashboard
I have a boolean value in my db
And i have a toggle swith on/off button
How can i show my switch default status with that boolean value
Like if my value true then switch should be shown default on automatically
Im using html,css and js
do you have a backend server
Yes i defined my boolean value correctly there
then just add an endpoint in the backend to return the values
on page load make a request to that endpoint and give the checkboxes/switches a default value that the request returned
Can you give me example plz actually im very noob in html
uh
...no?
do you even know what a backend is
Im stuck there from morning
No
π³
then why are you saying you have it
a backend server is mandatory for something like a dashboard
you cannot just give the end client your database credentials
I have that
Ill dm u a link u can check
i don't have my dms turned on
Can you accept my req please
I really need help
i accepted it
but i won't spoonfeed you anything
knotty steeple
fun fact
(for something that was talked about earlier)
if your bot got updated, dont "broadcast" whatever changes there were
you can just say in the help command that there are new changes that you can view with a specific command
thats what i do anyway
earnest phoenix
broadcasting updates does more harm than good
i just used a central server for all updates
etc

i want to get back into public bot deving but i dont wanna deal with low iqs that dont know how to use the bot

grizzled raven
how would i use it
knotty steeple
earnest phoenix
@grizzled raven i know mate
I try to make a ticket system which you can close with reaction or you can force close it
how would I do a command that when like 2ppl in a public voice channel and they run the command that it gets locked till they leave the vc?
earnest phoenix
parse the json, go into the emojiDefinitions array and check if any of them contain an object whose surrogates property is your emoji
and if you open one, you get registered in the map so you don't spam it.
And when I close it, i want the guy who got registered to be deleted from that map.
I can use mentions.members.first but I don't want to, that's why I don't know how to do it.
grizzled raven
well if they are linked, do <Map>.get(message.author.id).persontalkingwith.id or whatever
earnest phoenix
That's the problem
I'm the author of !closeticket
And I want his id to be deleted.
grizzled raven
so in the map, have their name
earnest phoenix
use a database to store the important info
grizzled raven
user*
earnest phoenix
I suck with databases
tried for a xp system
well, get better at it
bruh sounds simple eh?
grizzled raven
if youre gonna have a 4 week ticket then use a database
earnest phoenix
mkay
in memory maps or relying on discord channel names isn't reliable and you're asking for your bot to be broken
i've made just that in c#
the ticket with reactions i mean
grizzled raven
ok
earnest phoenix
the reactions went perfectly
But i want to add additional commands.
i can point you on how i structured my database models
for the sake of it
Its okay.
I'm gonna use the member.mention.first until i advance to databases
just keep in mind that relying on channel names or on just maps isn't really advised at all
Which would you recommend? I used mysql in the past.
for something as small as tickets i think sqlite is good enough
if you ever need a reference on how to structure tickets, this is how i've done it and i guess it's pretty effective https://hatebin.com/npvqqlfpfe

i don't work with js nor do i obfuscate it when i work with it
grave mist
Oh then no
earnest phoenix
never, and i mean never, expose any credentials or important information to the end user
grave mist
Why are the obfuscating it then
earnest phoenix
so people can't easily steal it
grave mist
But I can't get a way to hide it
earnest phoenix
use cookies
grave mist
Noob in using cookies :/
earnest phoenix
ok and
grave mist
If I use cookies, I can put api keys?
grave mist
What I'll do is basically let's say you click a button, it'll make a request to my api which must be used only by me using an api key to verify its me, and then return response
earnest phoenix
there's not really a reliable way to do that other than make a secure logging in system or require the user to manually input their api key
grave mist
that button is in my website btw
The end user is a user of my website which has to display a data from my server when the user clicks a button
I can hide the api key, api link by making an internal request but still the user can exploit it by sending a request to my website
earnest phoenix
there's not really a reliable way to do that other than make a secure logging in system or require the user to manually input their api key
require the user to log in first
either with discord (which is an easier implementation just using oauth2) or make your own
earnest phoenix
they can't see the backend
grave mist
They can just request it using code, can't they?
grave mist
Not logging
After logging, they click a button
I need to get data and display it
That code will be visible
earnest phoenix
make an endpoint in your backend that returns said data
you'll know whether the user is logged in or not in your backend
grave mist
But when they click login, I just want to login them and then they can click a button that will display data
More like dashboard
Let's say they update prefix
They put the prefix in input and then click button
grave mist
Then the website would make a request to my bot server which will return a response to verify the process is done correctly
But I don't get how it gonna work in your way. What you say is this right
earnest phoenix
you have to have a backend for this sort of stuff
grave mist
Me as a user > clicks login > authorizes > backend stuff display data > i see it
earnest phoenix
basically, yeah
grave mist
But what I say is me as a user > clicks login > autorizes > goes to prefix update page > enters prefix > clicks "update" button > send data and receive successful response > display "success"
Whatever I put in button onclick code, it's visible to them
grave mist
Ok, tell how I'm going to go to backend from clicking button?
earnest phoenix
what?
your backend serves everything
you simply add an endpoint which allows prefix updates
while in your frontend your onclick just calls that endpoint
grave mist
That "endpoint" is visible to the user right
earnest phoenix
yes
grave mist
So my question is can't a random user send a request to that endpoint?
topaz fjord
just add auth to it
earnest phoenix
you can choose how you handle it
if you implement oauth you can check whether the user's logged in or not
earnest phoenix
there are a lot of documentation online explaining how oauth works
grave mist
So if I make it like the user should be logged in, no code can send a request right?
Can you get me a good doc? There's like tonnes and I may end up finding a wrong one and come here again
earnest phoenix
grave mist
Thanks
earnest phoenix

nocturne dagger
What bot was that.
earnest phoenix
check if zero width space works
nocturne dagger
I can't find any bots being declined for that reason under your name all I can see is your bot was offline.
earnest phoenix
no i am trying to update the bot info on the site
west raptor
just add a massive comment 
nocturne dagger
'
I might suggjest added a list of commands or something
but im not the expert. Spider is
west raptor
ted no
earnest phoenix
yes i have re applyed but now i am trying to update the info of the bot
earnest phoenix
have you read their message at all Ted
earnest phoenix
like i said try using zero width space
it has zero width but is counted as a char
i dunno if dbl filters it though
west raptor
i dont think so
earnest phoenix
idk what zero width space is and how to get it
google exists
yeah that doesn't help
it very much does
you're just lazy to do it yourself lol
u know what i am raging rn from what u said!
good for you!
west raptor
lol
west raptor
the audacity of this bitch! they told me to do something i am perfectly capable of doing!
earnest phoenix
you're just too lazy to do it yourself because quite literally the first two results on Google provide information you need
no i am not lazy the problem is google
do u have any idea of how hard it is to try to remove google from your life
nocturne dagger
This is what Grovy did for there long decription
earnest phoenix
alternatives exist...?
nocturne dagger
west raptor
earnest phoenix
ddg/bing...
so i dont get what is the problem here
yes there u go duck duck go boom best thing ever
west raptor
im guessing you have an issue with ddg also
earnest phoenix
the problem is that we are in 20 20 and people (me included and you too) get very esaily offended
every search engine sucks
VERY ESAILY
you spelled easily wrong
no suck
i am blocking you
also no i literally never get offended
west raptor
you dont get offended over someone telling you to google something lol
west raptor
if you cant handle that then i dont know how you get around the internet
earnest phoenix
i hope you're aware discord is on google's servers
u say search it insted of google it very ease thing to do
ok anyways thanks for the help april

earnest phoenix
well not anymore i blocked them and now i can't see any of there messages
their
tfw you don't know the difference between their there and they're in 2020

@earnest phoenix google it
spark star
This would probably be a less used feature but it would make your bot more moddable without people seeing your code, you could use websockets and allow people to add commands with an open websocket, they would make a command, and the bot would be able to run it, as soon as they close the websocket connection, the command is removed from the bot until they open the socket again, and this feature could be toggled for servers that want to use extra commands made by people, also, if you get your bot on top.gg that would be even better cuz more people will use it
It would probably use an on_message event
And when the command, lets say I made coolio a command, if {prefix}coolio was ran, it would send message to the websocket client
And it would send data whenever it sends a message
Then the output data (e.g. messages to be sent) are sent back to your bot, and then sent to the server that uses the command
I'm planning on implementing this in python
Would this class as a big feature btw?
Please ping me if you actually read it, and tell me what you think
slender thistle
To be quite honest, I don't think you would need a separate websocket connection
Fairly sure you could just make a dict that you would edit whenever a command is added/deleted
spark star
But the person who made the command is hosting the actual command @slender thistle
slender thistle
"Hosting"?
slender thistle
Huh
spark star
The websocket is just sending the data it needs back and forth
slender thistle
Well I can definitely say it isn't a simple feature
spark star
Yeah, do you think it would be a good idea/feature tho?
slender thistle
Trusting average Discord users to use websocket connections... I wouldn't really say it's good because of that
But if it's an actual programmer that is using your bot, it might come in handy
spark star
Yeah, and I'ma probably add a rate-limiting system that prevents people from spamming messages, so I wouldn't spam the discord API
slender thistle
Sounds better
spark star
Nice, anything else you think I should add to prevent abuse?
slender thistle
Prevent stuff like while True etc ig
livid pier
I know someone already made a bot that does something similar to this. It allows you to add your own commands written in JavaScript. It has a 10ms timeout on all commands and some other stuff to prevent abuse. @spark star
spark star
Nice, thanks
livid pier
np
also, it's open source @spark star https://github.com/braindigitalis/botnix-discord-cpp

Can anyone give me a example in html js
If my a value is true then my toggle switch always shown at on else off
earnest phoenix
ik about statements but didnt know much about html, css@west raptor
earnest phoenix
hi im new
earnest phoenix
how do u add cmds?
valid frigate
assuming you're using discord.js
earnest phoenix
ye

(JDA) Hmm How someone how can i get Youtube API ? π€ For music Bot (Unlimited or sth)
restive furnace
you cant get unlimited yt api key.
get from google cloud youtube api v3 key, and you can use it 10k times/day
late latch
Help to understand I can not understand how to make a comparison of the role of the bot with the role that link
modest maple
@green kestrel didn't you make sporks
@late latch I would say check if the IDs of the role you're comparing matches up with the Id of the role you want to compare it against
vital lark
@modest maple brain did make sporks
restive furnace
Is there any space that discord wont detect on channel names? (not really developement question, but anyway)
modest maple
Dont think so
To get the space you might Be able to use like a blank space unicode or a black space emoji
restive furnace
found Β \u2009
modest maple
Not sure if the discord channel names will actually accept unicode but maybe
surreal sage
Does json { "a": "b" }
const a_and_b = require("./json.json").a``` work?Wouldn't that just give you "b"
vital lark
surreal sage
y i wanted to know
modest maple
Well it's a dictionary
vital lark
if you want to know, then run the program
modest maple
a is the key
late latch
What I need is to get the position of the bot role and compare it with the position of the role that they want to choose through the argument
function checkPermission(message, minID) {
return message.member.highestRole.comparePositionTo(message.guild.roles.find(io => io.id === minID)) >= 0;
}
Something similar, but a little different
modest maple
@hushed glacier dont ask2ask just say your issue
timber cairn
Hey
hushed glacier
Ok
timber cairn
Does anyone know how to use ffmepg?
hushed glacier
How I tag A Member
timber cairn
If you want then tagged at the begining then say message.reply
How do you download ffmpeg?
modest maple
what programming language
modest maple
are you trying to use it for music?
timber cairn
Yes
modest maple
use Lava link rather than ffmpeg
timber cairn
Is it python or js?
modest maple
both
twilit rapids
LavaLink itself is in Java, but you can use wrappers in nearly every language
timber cairn
I am familiar with ffmpeg
twilit rapids
timber cairn
But I don't know how to download it
twilit rapids
How to download FFMPEG itself?
twilit rapids
NPM: npm install ffmpeg-static
Download FFmpeg from the official website: https://www.ffmpeg.org/
Youtube Tutorial by Crawl: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SW-iKrT_nJs
Alternatively you can install ffmpeg via chocolatey, homebrew or your distributions package manager
green kestrel
@modest maple yeah sporks is mine
timber cairn
I have chocolatey
green kestrel
Hi!
twilit rapids
yes
restive furnace
@timber cairn fun fact: you can use normal cmd for installing npm packages if youre o right directory.

wary onyx
ok
wary onyx
offensive
knotty steeple
its to look for help in developing the bot
wary onyx
yeah i need help
twilit rapids
It's to talk about bot development, so talking about your bot is included in that
knotty steeple
oh yes my new bot is the most revolutionary bot that ever exists
wary onyx
can you give me tips on what to use for communicating bots
modest maple
wdym
wary onyx
ones that can speak to you
wary onyx
i use botghost
modest maple
oh
knotty steeple
stop right now
modest maple
sad times
wary onyx
why stop
wary onyx
ok
knotty steeple
and im not gonna help with that
wary onyx
i'll just ask one thing though
wary onyx
did the discord developers make this place
wary onyx
well that's basically being rude to botghost
wary onyx
wary onyx
modest maple
if you want any sort of modifications you cant use botghost
modest maple
not really
knotty steeple
no
modest maple
like
knotty steeple
just learn to code pls
modest maple
learn a programming language and learn a skill for life
wary onyx
ok
knotty steeple
u can actually get a job if ur good at it
wary onyx
OH MY FRICKIN' GOD I'M IN
modest maple
coral trellis
We do not provide support for discord bot maker here however we do allow the bots to be submitted here as they have a level of modification that is alright
wary onyx
OK

What Is The "limit" Of Characters In Activity /Status
modest maple
probably 128 or 256 chars

Out of curiosity, I know a lot of people make their database on mongo, I have a windows server and was wondering how to properly set one up on there?
Not how to do it, just if it's possibly for someone who is a basic at coding discord bots in discord.js

near ether
is there really even a point in having more than one shard if your hosting service doesnt have multiple cpus?
im required to shard with my bot bc it is in over 2500 servers, but i dont have multiple cpus in my hosting service so havign more than one shard seems kinda useless
modest maple
you can do it so it doesnt use an entire new core per shard
loud salmon
sharding just splits up the bot into multiple processes, its not the same as splitting over multiple cpus/processors @near ether
modest maple
near ether
ah ok
modest maple
otherwise Pokecord and rythm would be screwed xD
near ether
lmaoo true

Weird Thing Is Happening to me
So when I am using pm2 start <File Name> The Bot does Start But It doesnt "dm" Me For A Command
But If I Use node <File Name> The Bot Works As It Should
(If Both Methods Are Working Then Normal On Channel Commands Work Twice)

lets not do this in #development
uneven wyvern
const fetch = require("node-fetch");
var url = "https://www.worldometers.info/"
var res = await fetch(url).then(url => url.json())
console.log(res)
}
world().catch(e => console.log(e))
Anyone can help me xD
modest maple
you're not getting a JSON as a response youre getting something else
uneven wyvern
how would I get the json as a response?
modest maple
well that kinda depends on what ever the site is doing
atm ur sending a request to "https://www.worldometers.info/"
uneven wyvern
yeah
modest maple
and expecting a JSON back
is it supposed to be sending a JSON back
or is doing somthing else
hint: Its not giving you a JSON its just a website
uneven wyvern
When I try it with Instagram it gives me the thing I want.
modest maple
not every site is gonna give you back a JSON just cuz you want it
uneven wyvern
so there's nothing I can't do about it?
slender thistle
Does that website have an API
uneven wyvern
@slender thistle nope else I wouldn't try that.
slender thistle
Understandable
Yeah, as cf8 said, scraping the website is the only viable option left
uneven wyvern
How would I do that
