what is it?

empty owl Jan 12, 2020, 9:30 PM

#

It sends Not a valid add-inID for everything

quartz kindle Jan 12, 2020, 9:31 PM

#

why do you have an infinite loop?

empty owl Jan 12, 2020, 9:31 PM

#

i have the if() statment

#

oh shoot

sudden geyser Jan 12, 2020, 9:32 PM

#

also if the first entry is not true, it'll always send the error message. What elements does addOnsA feature?

empty owl Jan 12, 2020, 9:32 PM

#

should I make it so the loop stops when I is like the length of

quartz kindle Jan 12, 2020, 9:32 PM

at least make it limited by the array size

let addOns = args.slice(2).join(" ")

quartz kindle Jan 12, 2020, 9:32 PM

i = 0; i < addOnsA.length; i++

empty owl Jan 12, 2020, 9:32 PM

#

ok thanks

#

would It be less than or equal

#

or just lesthan

quartz kindle Jan 12, 2020, 9:33 PM

#

less than array length

empty owl Jan 12, 2020, 9:33 PM

#

ah

#

ok thanks

quartz kindle Jan 12, 2020, 9:33 PM

#

because array length starts at 1, not 0

empty owl Jan 12, 2020, 9:33 PM

#

oh ok

#

thanks

quartz kindle Jan 12, 2020, 9:33 PM

#

well, its 0 if the array is empty

empty owl Jan 12, 2020, 9:33 PM

oh yea

#

but i told the people to put "none" if they didnt want any so

'NoneType' object has no attribute 'create_ytdl_player' i do notunderstand

quartz kindle Jan 12, 2020, 9:36 PM

#

you're trying to do <null/undefined>.create_ytdl_player

slender thistle Jan 12, 2020, 9:36 PM

#

Are you familiar with Python data types

outer niche Jan 12, 2020, 9:37 PM

#

I do not understand because it is connected to a channel when I am running the command

slender thistle Jan 12, 2020, 9:37 PM

#

Try to reconnect

jaunty stump Jan 12, 2020, 9:37 PM

#

what I'm trying to do is make the bot find its discord role position check if it is the highest role in the server and if it isn't then send error message(embed)

If I could get some documentation on how to do that or where to look that would be better than what "help" I got already

outer niche Jan 12, 2020, 9:37 PM

#

I did I even shut down the code and restarted the entire bot

empty owl Jan 12, 2020, 9:37 PM

#

Thanks tim

#

it works now

outer niche Jan 12, 2020, 9:38 PM

shivaco I have tried reconnecting and even restarting everything and it still does not work

slender thistle Jan 12, 2020, 9:39 PM

#

Did you reconnect to the vc through the bot code after restarting it

outer niche Jan 12, 2020, 9:39 PM

#

I reconnected it using the command

quartz kindle Jan 12, 2020, 9:40 PM

#

@jaunty stump first of all, remove the await. .filter() is not a promise

#

then, which role do you need?

#

the bot's own role? what if it has more roles?

jaunty stump Jan 12, 2020, 9:41 PM

#

I can't remove await for this reason

📎 unknown.png

#

it's in an async

#

just the bots role

quartz kindle Jan 12, 2020, 9:42 PM

#

it doesnt matter

jaunty stump Jan 12, 2020, 9:42 PM

#

oh

quartz kindle Jan 12, 2020, 9:42 PM

#

await is for promises

#

filter is not a promise

#

you want to check the position of the bot's highest role?

#

you can use member.highestRole

jaunty stump Jan 12, 2020, 9:43 PM

#

yea

#

ok

#

and if it isn't the highest make it send the embed

quartz kindle Jan 12, 2020, 9:43 PM

#

you can get the bot member from message.guild.me

#

so message.guild.me.highestRole

#

gives you the highest role of your bot

jaunty stump Jan 12, 2020, 9:44 PM

#

ok

quartz kindle Jan 12, 2020, 9:44 PM

#

then you can use role.position or role.calculatedPosition

#

afaik, the highest role would be position 0

#

any other number means the role is not the highest

outer niche Jan 12, 2020, 9:46 PM

#

shivaco any other suggestions

jaunty stump Jan 12, 2020, 9:46 PM

#

ok

#

like this?

📎 unknown.png

quartz kindle Jan 12, 2020, 9:50 PM

#

why highestRole.forEach?

#

highestRole is one role

outer niche Jan 12, 2020, 9:50 PM

#

'VoiceClient' object has no attribute 'create_ytdl_player' how can i fiz this

quartz kindle Jan 12, 2020, 9:50 PM

#

not many

jaunty stump Jan 12, 2020, 9:50 PM

#

ok

#

📎 unknown.png

sudden geyser Jan 12, 2020, 9:52 PM

#

it's a role, not a function.

jaunty stump Jan 12, 2020, 9:53 PM

#

what would I need to change now?

quartz kindle Jan 12, 2020, 9:54 PM

#

highestRole is already a role

#

just remove the entire code block

#

you can call directly highestRole.position

jaunty stump Jan 12, 2020, 9:57 PM

#

ok, so say it is already checking to see if it is the highest role with highestRole.position, I now need it to check if it isn't and if it isn't then it needs to send that embed

quartz kindle Jan 12, 2020, 9:57 PM

#

check if its bigger than 0

jaunty stump Jan 12, 2020, 9:58 PM

#

so keep if (role.position < 0){

quartz kindle Jan 12, 2020, 9:58 PM

#

thats checking if its smaller than 0

#

it cant be smaller than 0

jaunty stump Jan 12, 2020, 10:01 PM

#

so keep it? if the highest role position is 0 then yes?

quartz kindle Jan 12, 2020, 10:03 PM

#

if its 0 then it means its the highest

#

if its bigger than 0, it means its not the highest

jaunty stump Jan 12, 2020, 10:03 PM

#

so what would I do?

quartz kindle Jan 12, 2020, 10:04 PM

#

check if its bigger than 0

jaunty stump Jan 12, 2020, 10:06 PM

#

if (role.position > 0){ so this then?

grizzled raven Jan 12, 2020, 10:06 PM

#

yes

jaunty stump Jan 12, 2020, 10:07 PM

#

📎 unknown.png

grizzled raven Jan 12, 2020, 10:07 PM

#

check if its equal to the amount of roles in the server if your want to check if its the highest role in the server

#

role.position > 0 will always be true unless it doesnt have a role

#

also that should be let role = message.guild.me.highestRolw

jaunty stump Jan 12, 2020, 10:08 PM

#

ok
let role is now there

#

now what?

quartz kindle Jan 12, 2020, 10:09 PM

#

isnt the highest role 0? or are roles reversed in order?

grizzled raven Jan 12, 2020, 10:09 PM

#

0 is the lowest role

jaunty stump Jan 12, 2020, 10:09 PM

#

then what is the highest?

grizzled raven Jan 12, 2020, 10:09 PM

#

higher it is, bigger the number

#

the highest is the amount of roles in the server

jaunty stump Jan 12, 2020, 10:10 PM

#

well that sucks

#

what do I do to replace it then?

quartz kindle Jan 12, 2020, 10:10 PM

#

well then just do if(role.position === guild.roles.size-1)

jaunty stump Jan 12, 2020, 10:10 PM

#

ok

grizzled raven Jan 12, 2020, 10:10 PM

#

do >= if you have anxiety like me

jaunty stump Jan 12, 2020, 10:11 PM

#

📎 unknown.png

#

ok

grizzled raven Jan 12, 2020, 10:11 PM

#

well guild isnt defined

#

tim saying guild was his placeholder

quartz kindle Jan 12, 2020, 10:11 PM

#

yeah, message.guild

jaunty stump Jan 12, 2020, 10:12 PM

#

Well this bot will be in many servers not just one

grizzled raven Jan 12, 2020, 10:12 PM

#

just replace guild.roles.size with message.guild.roles.size

jaunty stump Jan 12, 2020, 10:12 PM

#

ok

quartz kindle Jan 12, 2020, 10:12 PM

#

wait you want the message if not the highest

#

so change it to position < .size -1

jaunty stump Jan 12, 2020, 10:12 PM

#

I want the bot to check if Its role is the highest, if it isn't send the embed

grizzled raven Jan 12, 2020, 10:13 PM

#

oh yeah

jaunty stump Jan 12, 2020, 10:13 PM

#

ok

grizzled raven Jan 12, 2020, 10:13 PM

#

!==, or <=

#

change the === to*

jaunty stump Jan 12, 2020, 10:13 PM

#

=== is changed to >=

#

Let me fix it

grizzled raven Jan 12, 2020, 10:15 PM

#

oh wait

#

thats wrong

jaunty stump Jan 12, 2020, 10:15 PM

#

what is wrong ?

grizzled raven Jan 12, 2020, 10:16 PM

#

yeah just change the operator to <

jaunty stump Jan 12, 2020, 10:17 PM

#

📎 unknown.png

#

like that?

#

ignore the space

#

role.position < .size -1){

quartz kindle Jan 12, 2020, 10:18 PM

🤦‍♂️

#

dont literally copy and paste, think with context

grizzled raven Jan 12, 2020, 10:18 PM

#

yeah 2 people explaining how to compare numbers must be confusing

jaunty stump Jan 12, 2020, 10:18 PM

#

yea..

quartz kindle Jan 12, 2020, 10:18 PM

#

me writing .size -1 doesnt mean "remove message.guild.roles"

jaunty stump Jan 12, 2020, 10:21 PM

#

so it would be

#

if (role.position >= message.guild.roles.size -1){

#

📎 unknown.png

grizzled raven Jan 12, 2020, 10:29 PM

#

ok just do role.position < message.guild.roles.size

thats all

ok, lemme try it

it worked

Not sure if this is really development related but are there very many bots who track mutes...

Example: if a server member recieves 5 Mutes they get a warning through the bot for receiving to many mutes. If they recieve 10 mutes they get kicked 15 they get banned ect..

If this is not a thing would it be useful? Obviously I would make an option to either disable or enable it for your server but just wanted some opinions on this feature

EDIT: Yes I have looked around on the bot list but have yet to find one that does this (that doesn't always mean there isn't one as bot descriptions don't always go in depth with command lists)

It also forces you to store your tokens in a settings file so you wont leak it if you ever share your code with someone

#

And I stored a few other settings that are different between my test bot and production bot in that settings file

hoary elm Jan 13, 2020, 2:33 AM

I always use process.env.BOT_TOKEN anyways 😂

Token is defined via variables outside the bots code

it's just a basic web server that gets pinged every time someone visits a forum with data about the page the person is visiting

because the MMO guild im in wanted to use a forum and link the forum with discord

we use proboards and they allow you to create plugins

so i created a simple JS plugin that sends simple JSON files to the bot every time someone uses the forum

#

Interesting

blissful scaffold Jan 13, 2020, 2:46 AM

#

the only thing is that i cant do anything from the server side of the forum, so the clients/people that connect to the forum send the data that i need through to my bot

#

the most important thing is that my bot gets informed every time a new post is created on the forum and it will then post that on discord

hoary elm Jan 13, 2020, 2:48 AM

So then they can go and check the post yeah that seems pretty useful

Most in depth I have gone with webhooks is my buddy ran a FiveM Server (Private GTA Online Servers) used mainly for police roleplay, and wanted something set up so that when people join and leave the server, type commands in the server chat or die. It posts it in a discord channel... Only downside is FiveM uses LUA for their scripts 🤮 but it was pretty easy to make each of those events can be called to different channels and the death logs I have set up so that it says how and where on the map they died

#

But I am familiar with coding when it comes to game related coding so that was easy

What is the best way to pass things like a connected database client, etc. into an express router for its routes to use? I don't want to be creating connections to my database for each router. Currently, I'm thinking of injecting the stuff I need into the req or res objects using middleware, but that doesn't seem like good practice and isn't optimal. Please ping me with any response

valid frigate Jan 13, 2020, 4:38 AM

#

i was gonna suggest global variables but only for the database since it's not constantly changing and therefore can't be in conflict

#

by exporting it out of a certain file and allowing it to be used everywhere, so long as it isnt changing it should be fine

#

i know there's been some conflict around using global variables that aren't constant, but really it should be up to you

#

otherwise if you're fine passing a database client as a parameter for every callback that needs it that also works but might be less optimal; from personal experience a database as a global variable has never caused any issue

#

so like export const databaseClient = etc... should be good enough

#

@zealous veldt nerd

#

additionally this is just speculation but passing a database client through every request/response object could bloat your app's memory usage and make it extremely slow since js duplicates parameters

zealous veldt Jan 13, 2020, 5:09 AM

#

that's why I don't want to pass it through

#

I might use app.locals

valid frigate Jan 13, 2020, 5:10 AM

#

yeah

#

if you can maybe put the entire app into a class then just make the db a property

#

How do I make pages for arrays like 25 values per page? I am using discord.js. I need pages because a Discord embed field cant handle all my array values.

#

if you want me to get into more detail of what I am doing, I am basically trying to make pages for my bot’s player’s inventory because their inventory wont show up due to their inventory array having too many items

#


let pages = Math.ceil(stats.beys.length / 25); if(pages === 0) pages = 1;
  if(args[0] && args[0] === "page" && parseInt(args[1]) > pages) return message.reply("no page found.")
  stats = await db.collection("users").findOne({_id: message.author.id});
  let page = parseInt(args[1]);
  let amtshift;
  let amtslice;
  if(page === 1){
    amtshift = 0;
    amtslice = 0;
  }else{
    amtshift = (page-1)* 25;
    amtslice = (page-1) * 25;
  }
  stats.beys.slice(0, amtshift-1);
  stats.beys.slice(amtslice, stats.beys.length - 1);
    for(var i in stats.beys){
    binfo += `**[${parseInt(i)+1}]:** \`${stats.beys[i].name} (Level ${stats.beys[i].level})\`\n`;
    }
``` This is the code I tried but none of the values are sliced. Might just be me being stupid.

late hill Jan 13, 2020, 7:45 AM

#

slice doesn't edit the original array

#

you have to use the returned value

#

Not sure if that will make it work, but that's definitely an issue

there are some tips and tricks you should follow if you decide to go with json

load the file once at bot start
keep the entire file in memory as an object
only write to file when changes occur
dont write directly to file, write to a temporary file first and then rename it
keep backups

oww okay it's already done ^^ '

const xp = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync("./exp.json", "utf8"))```

quartz kindle Jan 13, 2020, 10:36 AM

#

alright, now all your read operations should be done in memory, ie: always use xp[something] and never use fs.readfile again

wicked pivot Jan 13, 2020, 10:36 AM

#

this is what i do ^^

quartz kindle Jan 13, 2020, 10:36 AM

#

and when you do changes, like xp[something] = somethingNew or delete xp[something]

#

you write a copy to file

#

fs.writeFile(your file, JSON.stringify(xp))

#

but dont write it directly to the main file

wicked pivot Jan 13, 2020, 10:38 AM

#

because there is a risk of error I imagine?

quartz kindle Jan 13, 2020, 10:39 AM

#

do something like js fs.writeFile("exp_temp.json", JSON.stringify(xp), "utf8", err => { if(err) { throw err } fs.rename("exp_temp.json", "exp.json", err => { if(err) { throw err } }) })

#

of course, do your own error handling to avoid crashing the bot

you can easily do if(xp[userid]) { delete xp[userid] }

          pseudo: message.author.id
          };

#

and for my "top xp" system I don't really have the choice to delete the XP after a leave

there is always a choice

#

if you want to delete, its easy, just do js client.on("guildMemberRemove", member => { delete xp[member.user.id]; fs.writeFile(etc...) });

#

if you dont want to delete, you can use array.filter

wicked pivot Jan 13, 2020, 11:00 AM

you should only save one type of data

in the worst case I put that second in my json then after I calculate with the command "top"? like this its will not touch the json

    voicetime[user id].total += (voicetime[user id].lastLeft - voicetime[user id].lastJoined)
  }

#

then when you want to show, in an embed for example, you do the calculation to convert the miliseconds to seconds, minutes, hours, days, etc

#

but you dont save them, you only save the miliseconds

when it's animated it needs to start with <a:

I don't know why your emoji isn't working in your code, maybe you can't have an emoji in a field title?

if a dedicated server is already struggling then don't run it on a RPI 😛

green kestrel Jan 13, 2020, 1:51 PM

#

yeah exactly my thought lol

#

this is the result of me hammering it the past two days... what looks like a line of zero isnt... its 3000-4000 learned facts a day of normal discord use of 750 servers

📎 daylearned.png

#

in fact i might have to hide that spike from the graph

#

it makes it useless for a month, lol

blissful scaffold Jan 13, 2020, 1:53 PM

My server got a heartbeat thanks to the bot I'm running on it

📎 unknown.png

green kestrel Jan 13, 2020, 1:53 PM

#

yeah i see a similar pattern long term with bandwidth

#

📎 mx1.png

#

mines partially due to nightly backups, though, it was smooth like yours until i added that

quartz kindle Jan 13, 2020, 1:54 PM

#

the problem with discord is that they hammer your server with presence updates that most bots dont even use

green kestrel Jan 13, 2020, 1:55 PM

#

yeah

#

and the majority of those come from here

blissful scaffold Jan 13, 2020, 1:55 PM

#

my traffic only shows the spikes when I send the backups to my local machine every night

#

it overpowers all other traffic

green kestrel Jan 13, 2020, 1:55 PM

#

you can turn off guild subscriptions but it hamstrings your bot

quartz kindle Jan 13, 2020, 1:55 PM

#

remove the presence updates and your cpu usage drops by 80% and your bandwidth usage drops by 90%

green kestrel Jan 13, 2020, 1:56 PM

#

part of that problem is bots sending presence updates every 30 seconds

quartz kindle Jan 13, 2020, 1:56 PM

#

yeah i made a framework to work around the issues of disabling guild subscriptions, as well as cache control

green kestrel Jan 13, 2020, 1:56 PM

#

when you have a server of 20,000 bots...

blissful scaffold Jan 13, 2020, 1:56 PM

#

I guess my bot is one of the few that uses the presence updates

quartz kindle Jan 13, 2020, 1:56 PM

#

the result is that now my bot uses 50mb ram and 1% cpu on 2000 servers

#

compared to before, which was 10% cpu and 400mb ram lol

green kestrel Jan 13, 2020, 1:57 PM

#

i had something similar to that, where i had a cache updater that ran every 30 mins and connected to discord with guild subscriptions on, cached everything, then disconnected... and the main bot ran with guild subscriptions off and queried the database the cron job updated

#

but it was unsustainable, because the updater was running for longer and longer

quartz kindle Jan 13, 2020, 1:57 PM

#

yeah, i just dropped presences altogether

blissful scaffold Jan 13, 2020, 1:57 PM

#

I noticed that my java bot only runs a garbage collection when it needs to, since I allowed it to use 2GB ram it often goes up to 1.5GB before going down to 200MB again

green kestrel Jan 13, 2020, 1:58 PM

#

now what i do is i cache to a database, but when i receive the guild create message i send the users and channels into a queue, and a separate thread processes the queue doing INSERT INTO ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE

#

i dont have any code looking at presences

#

but the framework must still parse them just like any other message, otherwise you can get out of sync with your sequence numbers

quartz kindle Jan 13, 2020, 1:59 PM

#

the only unfixable problem with disabling subscriptions is that you no longer receive member joins, which is a deal breaker for many bots

green kestrel Jan 13, 2020, 1:59 PM

#

i did consider hacking the framework to find the sequence number using a simple regular expression

#

but the gains are minimal, my cpu usage isnt really caused by presence any more

#

not since moving to C++

#

bandwidth is, though

quartz kindle Jan 13, 2020, 1:59 PM

#

yeah, my vps was using 500gb per month lol

green kestrel Jan 13, 2020, 2:00 PM

#

heres what im looking at cpu wise

📎 unknown.png

#

and thats probably 5x more than it should be due to a framework bug

#

it busy loops where it shouldnt

#

the bottom leaves of the tree are native threads sharing the same ram as the parent process

quartz kindle Jan 13, 2020, 2:01 PM

#

yeah c++ is really efficient

#

just much harder to work with

#

and im too lazy to learn it

#

lul

green kestrel Jan 13, 2020, 2:02 PM

#

lol yeah its not the best language for bot dev at all

#

i wouldnt have chosen it if i didnt already know it

#

like last week i had a bug ... you know what sql injection is yes?

quartz kindle Jan 13, 2020, 2:02 PM

#

yup

green kestrel Jan 13, 2020, 2:03 PM

#

well i had code in my bot that takes an sql query with ?'s in, and an array of parameters

#

it was supposed to call mysql_real_escape_string on each parameter to escape it and then insert it into the query in place of the ?

#

it was doing that but the buffer for the output string was too small

quartz kindle Jan 13, 2020, 2:03 PM

#

ah yes, i saw when you posted about it before

green kestrel Jan 13, 2020, 2:03 PM

#

so anything with ' in would overflow the buffer by a couple of bytes and corrupt the stack causing a weird crash like 5 mins later

#

so by ensuring security i made security worse lol, only in C++ or C would that be a thing

quartz kindle Jan 13, 2020, 2:04 PM

#

yeah, only C langs let you overflow memory lol

#

everything else is sandboxed af

green kestrel Jan 13, 2020, 2:05 PM

#

yeah

quartz kindle Jan 13, 2020, 2:05 PM

#

but like, if you're already using prepared statements, you dont really need escape strings as well

green kestrel Jan 13, 2020, 2:05 PM

#

yeah my code doesnt use proper prepared statements

quartz kindle Jan 13, 2020, 2:05 PM

#

ah

green kestrel Jan 13, 2020, 2:05 PM

#

it uses a wrapper i made years ago that acts like prepared statements

#

i have a big fat TODO and FIXME in there, telling future Brain to convert it to proper prepared statements

#

but you know that future brain hes lazy af

#

takes him years to do what i tell him lol

quartz kindle Jan 13, 2020, 2:06 PM

#

very relatable lmao

green kestrel Jan 13, 2020, 2:07 PM

#

you know whats funny? that bit of buggy code i copied from an old project, i dev'd that project like 10 years ago... and i copied the code from my old branch

#

so after i found my bug i went and looked at the current code of that project

#

and they'd found and patched that bug years ago lol

quartz kindle Jan 13, 2020, 2:07 PM

#

my bot is quickly approaching the 2500 guilds threshold and its still running on json, old framework version, and not sharded

green kestrel Jan 13, 2020, 2:07 PM

#

eek

quartz kindle Jan 13, 2020, 2:07 PM

#

and i've been delaying the rework in forever

green kestrel Jan 13, 2020, 2:07 PM

#

im sharding with 10 shards on 750 servers

blissful scaffold Jan 13, 2020, 2:08 PM

#

During my study I had to work with C++ for 1 semester and decided to stay with something simpler like Java

green kestrel Jan 13, 2020, 2:08 PM

#

theres nobody else using aegis.cpp that has a bot with more than about 20 servers on it, so i sharded to be double sure the code works right at scale

#

didnt want to be tripped up at 2490 servers and then be shouting at the library dev in a years time or whatever

quartz kindle Jan 13, 2020, 2:08 PM

#

hahah

green kestrel Jan 13, 2020, 2:09 PM

#

i do want them to add something i call 'shard affinity' though

#

right now how it works is you tell it how many shards, and it spawns a bunch of asio worker threads.... shard affinity would tell it that this process is only to identify for shards within a specific range

#

that way i can run half the shards on one physical server and half on another

quartz kindle Jan 13, 2020, 2:09 PM

#

the framework doesnt support that?

green kestrel Jan 13, 2020, 2:10 PM

#

no

#

all shards on one process only, atm

quartz kindle Jan 13, 2020, 2:10 PM

#

javascript's framework does, not sure about others

#

but it isnt hard to implement

green kestrel Jan 13, 2020, 2:10 PM

#

yeah, the one i used previously was strictly one shard, one process

#

with a shard id on boot

#

thats the opposite end of the spectrum lol

blissful scaffold Jan 13, 2020, 2:10 PM

#

I think Discord4J will implement it in the next major release

#

But I usually hate major releases because they break everything

green kestrel Jan 13, 2020, 2:11 PM

#

yeah

#

ive been asked the question already:

so if i do a major rewrite and change the libraries api are you up for that
to which the answer is
i'd rather not
lol

#

you know how us devs are for wanting constant change

#

problem is there are a few little niggling bugs that will neccessitate basically a library rewrite

quartz kindle Jan 13, 2020, 2:13 PM

#

its weird how you look at old code, and you see how much you have improved and how you could do everything 10x better now, but at the same time you're like "nah, it still works, i dont feel like redoing something i already did"

blissful scaffold Jan 13, 2020, 2:13 PM

#

The problem is also that without code breaking changes it is sometimes really hard to make stuff better

green kestrel Jan 13, 2020, 2:14 PM

#

like if i want to get the result of a DM, i can do user->create_dm_message("lol foo").get(); and a message that failed to send (e.g. blocked) results in a thrown exception, so i can wrap it in a try block then send a channel message going "fool"... problem is, that doesnt work

#

the promise implementation is broken

#

and maybe 5% of the time it'll segfault

#

so i cant use that atm, i fire-and-forget the dm, and hope the user hasnt disabled dm's from the bot

quartz kindle Jan 13, 2020, 2:14 PM

#

dealing with segfaults is nightmare

green kestrel Jan 13, 2020, 2:15 PM

#

yeah especially if its not in your own code lol

quartz kindle Jan 13, 2020, 2:15 PM

#

yeah lmao

green kestrel Jan 13, 2020, 2:15 PM

#

the other strange bug it has is randomly at exactly midnight it will suddenly start eating 100% cpu on all ASIO threads

#

bot still works fine, responds just as fast as before, but im sure somewhere at the datacentre theres some tech with a fan, and a book, wafting on the rack to keep my server cool lol

#

it does that till i restart the bot

quartz kindle Jan 13, 2020, 2:27 PM

#

lmao

Hello,
please can someone point me the way, how do i distribute my bot?

The bot is running in a container already, and i think i should learn kubernetes for distributing it, but how do i tell the sharding manager what node to start what shards on? Also, should i make 1 shard per container or only 1 container for all bots on a certain node, with a sharding manager in it?

Help is much appreciated if anyone has knowledge on this!

barren estuary Jan 13, 2020, 2:47 PM

#

@modest maple you can remove the admin permission from the bot. but than there aren't all commands available

blissful scaffold Jan 13, 2020, 2:47 PM

#

@barren estuary your bot just says it is missing something, you need to be specific and say WHAT role the person needs or what permissions the bot needs when it is missing

modest maple Jan 13, 2020, 2:47 PM

#

You shouldn't need admin perms

#

You can do everything without needing the admin permission

#

If you give a bot admin it's just asking for abuse

blissful scaffold Jan 13, 2020, 2:48 PM

#

and yeah, don't use the admin permission for public bots

modest maple Jan 13, 2020, 2:48 PM

#

One token leak and your bot has just fucked hundreds or possibly thousands of servers

#

And got itself rate limited and possibly banned for API abuse

barren estuary Jan 13, 2020, 2:48 PM

#

than the server has to forgive roles called BotController or somthing like that.. because the admin commands change the server

modest maple Jan 13, 2020, 2:48 PM

#

What

barren estuary Jan 13, 2020, 2:48 PM

#

I will add this feature ^^

modest maple Jan 13, 2020, 2:49 PM

#

No

#

Just get it to require the bare min perms

#

E.g

barren estuary Jan 13, 2020, 2:49 PM

#

yeah but a normal member shouldn't change the welcome message or reactroles ..

viral spade Jan 13, 2020, 2:49 PM

#

so you make a check for this in your code

modest maple Jan 13, 2020, 2:49 PM

#

Just leave that to people with perms by checking

#

E.g kick and ban should require the kick and ban permission from a user to use

barren estuary Jan 13, 2020, 2:50 PM

#

for example the messagecommand

📎 unknown.png

blissful scaffold Jan 13, 2020, 2:50 PM

For example if your bot needs to ban people then give it the BAN_MEMBERS permission instead of ADMINISTRATOR

modest maple Jan 13, 2020, 2:50 PM

#

Yh

#

There's no need to have an entire new role just to use it

#

And no need for a bot to have admin

#

Simple as

If the user that uses the command needs to be an admin then show a message that the user needs to be an admin, dont just say that the user is not allowed to do that

#

no idea which permission should be allowed to execute such commands

📎 unknown.png

modest maple Jan 13, 2020, 2:52 PM

#

The perms that discord would require

E.g

Say something like Sorry, you need to be an Admin to use this command instead of Sorry, I am not allowed to execute this command

modest maple Jan 13, 2020, 2:52 PM

#

Welcome messages -> manage server

viral spade Jan 13, 2020, 2:53 PM

@barren estuary then give it no permission and add them as you get errors because of it

#

test everything

blissful scaffold Jan 13, 2020, 2:53 PM

#

Sorry, I am not allowed to execute this command also makes it look like the BOT needs the permission instead of the USER

alright.... I will overthink the permission system ^^

viral spade Jan 13, 2020, 2:57 PM

you should simple use what discord offers you, dont make your own system

at least for starters

barren estuary Jan 13, 2020, 2:57 PM

ok

I will do that..

#

And is there any way to get the bot set up.. back? I alway have to rewrite it after the bot has been declined

blissful scaffold Jan 13, 2020, 2:59 PM

#

The most important things are

make it clear when the USER needs a role or permission
don't request admin permissions for your bot
show a clear message what permission your bot needs if it needs a permission that it doesn't have

what input are you giving the command (aka what you sent)

blissful scaffold Jan 13, 2020, 3:28 PM

#

@earnest phoenix does slice start at 0 or at 1?

sudden geyser Jan 13, 2020, 3:28 PM

#

you're slicing it by two so it'd be the 2nd arg

earnest phoenix Jan 13, 2020, 3:29 PM

#

so i should change the slices

#

i change the 2 to 1 and the 1 to 2

#

?

blissful scaffold Jan 13, 2020, 3:29 PM

#

I think the first argument is slice(0)

sudden geyser Jan 13, 2020, 3:29 PM

#

try slicing by one

earnest phoenix Jan 13, 2020, 3:29 PM

#

how ?

blissful scaffold Jan 13, 2020, 3:29 PM

#

instead of slice(2) do slice(1)

#

in programming languages you usually start counting at 0

sudden geyser Jan 13, 2020, 3:30 PM

#

slicing by 0 would actually just not do anything if I remember correctly

earnest phoenix Jan 13, 2020, 3:30 PM

#

so instead of 2 i do 1

#

and instead of 1 i do 0

sudden geyser Jan 13, 2020, 3:31 PM

#

I think you're referring to indexing it

earnest phoenix Jan 13, 2020, 3:31 PM

#

i will try

blissful scaffold Jan 13, 2020, 3:31 PM

#

So if you got s!cv channel then split(" ").slice(0) would return s!cv and split(" ").slice(1) would return channel

i will test it now

okay i just flipped the slices

but it doesnt create a channel

modest maple Jan 13, 2020, 3:36 PM

#

I don't think guild.createchannel is valid

sudden geyser Jan 13, 2020, 3:36 PM

Tony it means you passed an object instead of a plain string

earnest phoenix Jan 13, 2020, 3:36 PM

but i tried it without

    let name = message.content.split(" ").slice(1).join(" ");
        if(!name) return message.reply ("**Write The Channel Name**");

so guild.createchannel is not the problem

did it throw any error?

no

no errors

it just says that the channel is created

but i cant see the channel

sudden geyser Jan 13, 2020, 3:37 PM

assuming by your code if it truly worked it'd be at the top of the channel list

its not anywhere in the channels

https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/master/class/GuildMember?scrollTo=premiumSince

Discord.js

Discord.js is a powerful node.js module that allows you to interact with the Discord API very easily. It takes a much more object-oriented approach than most other JS Discord libraries, making your bot's code significantly tidier and easier to comprehend.

Sequelize errors that occur in parsing are absolutely useless when you have many tables

this error is resolved now it came from me, but now the bot no longer calculates me this to say I can join and leave the vocal by staying 10 minutes the bot will add nothing to the json then there is no error

Also, your code doesn't rly seem to factor in that people can join and leave voicechannels while your bot is offline

that's probably executed once

You're reading the file once and then continue to use that data, while you're editing the data in other places with other variables

It won't magically update

wicked pivot Jan 13, 2020, 7:20 PM

wait

late hill Jan 13, 2020, 7:23 PM

#

Well yes

#

Because you're also calling save() when you check the stats

#

Which will overwrite the changes you've made because the voicetime variable in that file has never been updated

wicked pivot Jan 13, 2020, 7:24 PM

#

so I had to define "voicetime" in the command?

late hill Jan 13, 2020, 7:25 PM

#

You should read it just once and have all your voicetime variables be references to the same thing

#

You could simply use require() as require uses cache

#

You'd just const voicetime = require(jsonFilePath); wherever you need it

#

It'll be the same in all your files

#

(you'd still have to write when making changes, so that it can read the updated values again when your cache has been cleared)

wicked pivot Jan 13, 2020, 7:28 PM

#

so would you advise me to change my way of defining "voicetime"?

late hill Jan 13, 2020, 7:28 PM

#

Yes

wicked pivot Jan 13, 2020, 7:30 PM

#

I read the file when the bot starts and I should make it read it only when I need it, ie when I do the stat command for example

#

ok i will try this

late hill Jan 13, 2020, 7:32 PM

#

It'll only read the file once, any future require calls will just use the cached version

wicked pivot Jan 13, 2020, 7:32 PM

#

const voicetime = require(jsonFilePath("./data/voicecounter.json", "utf8"))```this is good?

late hill Jan 13, 2020, 7:33 PM

#

No

wicked pivot Jan 13, 2020, 7:33 PM

#

why ?

late hill Jan 13, 2020, 7:33 PM

#

You simply replace jsonFilePath with the path

wicked pivot Jan 13, 2020, 7:33 PM

#

ow okay

#

sorry lol

#

it worked once

📎 unknown.png

#

any future call will simply require the cached version "" how do you do this?

#

(already it doesn't change the json it's a good thing)

late hill Jan 13, 2020, 7:38 PM

#

In any file you need voicetime, require it the same way.

#

and yes

#

as said

#

(you'd still have to write when making changes, so that it can read the updated values again when your cache has been cleared)

#

You're purely updating the cached version if you're only editing the object from require

wicked pivot Jan 13, 2020, 7:39 PM

#

I don't see how to do it x)

late hill Jan 13, 2020, 7:40 PM

#

megu

wicked pivot Jan 13, 2020, 7:40 PM

#

I can quote you the moment or I use this json where even modifies it

#

sorry i use google translation it's a bit complicated x)

late hill Jan 13, 2020, 7:42 PM

#

//FILE 1
const voicetime = require("./jsonFile");

//FILE 2
const voicetime = require("./jsonFile");

// Both voicetime variables share a reference to the json
// Changing voicetime in one file, will also make it change in the other

megu

wicked pivot Jan 13, 2020, 7:43 PM

#

So in all the files where there can be a modification of the values in the json I put this?

const voicetime = require("./data/voicecounter.json", "utf8")```

late hill Jan 13, 2020, 7:44 PM

#

yes

#

doesn't have to be a modification

#

if you want to use it in any way

wicked pivot Jan 13, 2020, 7:45 PM

#

OK I'll try, thank you for your perseverance x)

late hill Jan 13, 2020, 7:45 PM

#

You don't need the "utf8"

wicked pivot Jan 13, 2020, 7:47 PM

#

Error: Cannot find module './data/voicecounter.json'

late hill Jan 13, 2020, 7:48 PM

#

make sure the path is right

#

megu

#

if you're requiring it from a different file, the relative path might be different

wicked pivot Jan 13, 2020, 7:49 PM

#

//const voicetime = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync("./data/voicecounter.json", "utf8"))
const voicetime = require("./data/voicecounter.json")```both start from the same file

late hill Jan 13, 2020, 7:49 PM

#

what

wicked pivot Jan 13, 2020, 7:51 PM

#

both start from the same file however with the variable I use before finding it and not with the new

late hill Jan 13, 2020, 7:52 PM

#

oh like that

#

yes

#

require uses a relative path

#

readFileSync doesn't

wicked pivot Jan 13, 2020, 7:55 PM

#

ok thanks it works

pure gust Jan 13, 2020, 8:29 PM

modest maple Jan 13, 2020, 8:31 PM

twin pendant Jan 13, 2020, 8:33 PM

#

pure gust Jan 13, 2020, 8:33 PM

#

discord.js

twin pendant Jan 13, 2020, 8:34 PM

#

ok, so remove the ,true at the end of the .addField thing

pure gust Jan 13, 2020, 8:34 PM

#

twin pendant Jan 13, 2020, 8:34 PM

#

#

pure gust Jan 13, 2020, 8:35 PM

#

mossy vine Jan 13, 2020, 8:35 PM

#

are you using RichEmbeds/MessageEmbeds or raw objects

pure gust Jan 13, 2020, 8:35 PM

#

richembeds

mossy vine Jan 13, 2020, 8:36 PM

#

then do what gorillaa said, add another argument to your .addField() which should be true

pure gust Jan 13, 2020, 8:36 PM

#

yeh so what field would i write the true statement in?

#

ill send pic

#

📎 unknown.png

twin pendant Jan 13, 2020, 8:37 PM

#

like .addField(`title`, `content`,true)

mossy vine Jan 13, 2020, 8:37 PM

#

whichever you want to make inline

pure gust Jan 13, 2020, 8:37 PM

#

i want the online players to be to the right of the server status

mossy vine Jan 13, 2020, 8:37 PM

#

pure gust Jan 13, 2020, 8:37 PM

#

twin pendant Jan 13, 2020, 8:39 PM

pure gust Jan 13, 2020, 8:40 PM

#

#

thanks, another question, any idea how to get the server status of a server ( fivem) or would i need to ask a js specific developer?

twin pendant Jan 13, 2020, 8:41 PM

#

all good, and there might be an api for that

pure gust Jan 13, 2020, 8:42 PM

#

wdym

twin pendant Jan 13, 2020, 8:43 PM

#

an api is something that your bot would send a request to and get info

#

https://www.npmjs.com/package/fivem-api i googled fivem api and found this

npm

fivem-api

C'est une api pour intéragir avec la petite api FiveM

#

might work idk

pure gust Jan 13, 2020, 8:44 PM

#

thanks dude

twin pendant Jan 13, 2020, 8:44 PM

#

all good

#

pure gust Jan 13, 2020, 8:44 PM

#

yeh XDDD

#

im new to actually coding with a proper language

#

unlike the shit we use in school

twin pendant Jan 13, 2020, 8:45 PM

#

mhm nice

pure gust Jan 13, 2020, 8:45 PM

#

any idea how to make the text colour within the fields different?

#

coz the way it looks isnt the best

earnest phoenix Jan 13, 2020, 8:46 PM

#

you can't

twin pendant Jan 13, 2020, 8:46 PM

#

dont think you can normally unless you make it a code field

earnest phoenix Jan 13, 2020, 8:46 PM

#

at best you can use code blocks
