I enrolled my bot to top.gg on january 4th

mossy vine Jan 27, 2020, 2:29 PM

#

it was declined once and you readded it on the 20th

#

wait

eternal adder Jan 27, 2020, 2:30 PM

#

Yep, was readded on the 20th, so you'll likely be waiting about a week to find out

late hill Jan 27, 2020, 2:31 PM

#

why await

#

that code will check how many cached members (that aren't bots) each guild has and add them all together

#

which indeed could have the same user multiple times

#

What exactly do you want to do and why

quartz hill Jan 27, 2020, 3:00 PM

#

I will get the total number of users on all servers. Then I will show this in the bot with setActivity

west spoke Jan 27, 2020, 3:11 PM

#

doesnt js have a user length thing?

#

or no

earnest phoenix Jan 27, 2020, 3:11 PM

#

string.length()

west spoke Jan 27, 2020, 3:16 PM

#

not what I'm meaning

#

Like a list of all members the bot sees

amber fractal Jan 27, 2020, 3:17 PM

#

Yeah all cached users oare on <Client>.users

west spoke Jan 27, 2020, 3:18 PM

#

@quartz hill ^

amber fractal Jan 27, 2020, 3:18 PM

#

Alternatively you can use reduce on <Client>.guilds by their member count

#

Or any other loop

#

Reduce just came to mind

quartz hill Jan 27, 2020, 3:28 PM

#

thx

#

😄

late hill Jan 27, 2020, 3:50 PM

#

I mentioned 2 possible issues

#

If you simply use the size of the users you will cancel out the user dupe issue

#

But it's still cache only

#

If you use the membercounts of guilds you cancel out the cache issue

#

But you'll still have multiple users multiple times

#

The membercount will also include bots which isn't what you wanted originally

#

Either way, ask yourself why you want this

#

It's just a meaningless statistic

#

To get it accurate would probably require "wasting" resources in some way

#

which isn't worth it?

#

If you're not making it accurate, it becomes even more meaningless

#

there's really no point at all

amber fractal Jan 27, 2020, 3:58 PM

#

I dont think someone cares if their count is inflated tbh

#

Looping through each user of each guild to check if it's a duplicate or bot is simply too inefficient for a large bot to get any real benefit

modest maple Jan 27, 2020, 4:00 PM

#

Can also be inaccurate at times

#

I've had it loop through before and duplicate guilds

Java Eclipse
I am following the 3rd option(Jar set up).
I have been using this website for help: https://github.com/DV8FromTheWorld/JDA/wiki/2)-Eclipse-Setup

I ran into a problem I ran into is, what file do I add the JDA-withDependencies-x.x.x_xxx.jar.
To module or classpath file?

Hi, how can I edit channel permissions for @eveyone role? discord.js

#

Help, please

#

Help, please, i really need

vital lark Jan 27, 2020, 5:11 PM

#

there should be a editPermission function

#

@neat vapor I would recommend using a package manager (Gradle/Maven) and not using the JAR

neat vapor Jan 27, 2020, 5:12 PM

#

Yikes, have been struggling to understand Maven.

#

As well as with the download link.

vital lark Jan 27, 2020, 5:12 PM

Gradle is amazing imo

What is the "best" data store for storing e.g. config? NodeJS orientated.

vital lark Jan 27, 2020, 5:46 PM

#

what kind of config

#

normal config or guild settings

#

guild settings, I would recommend using MongoDB

normal config, I would recommend YAML or JSON

warm marsh Jan 27, 2020, 5:46 PM

#

Guild config

#

{ prefix, embed, etc... }

#

kinda stuff

#

Seems overkill using mysql database for this.

sudden geyser Jan 27, 2020, 5:47 PM

#

If the data is manageable, use a database (sqlite, mongo, rethinkdb) not including json. if it's constant, use json

#

@floral bloom if you do curl -I https://discordapp.com/api/v7/gateway in the terminal/command line your bot uses, does it say 200 OK?

vital lark Jan 27, 2020, 5:49 PM

#

don't you need to do -H'Authorization: Bot <token>' also?

sudden geyser Jan 27, 2020, 5:49 PM

#

nope

vital lark Jan 27, 2020, 5:49 PM

#

oh

sudden geyser Jan 27, 2020, 5:49 PM

#

at least not for that endpoint if it's just a get request

floral bloom Jan 27, 2020, 5:56 PM

#

@sudden geyser Yes, it does. HTTP/1.1 200 OK

sudden geyser Jan 27, 2020, 5:56 PM

#

Okay, how are you connecting to the gateway (source code and stack trace)?

#

and what library are you using (along with version)

floral bloom Jan 27, 2020, 5:58 PM

#

Discord.js v11.5.1

Okay, how are you connecting to the gateway (source code and stack trace)?
What do you mean? All I'm doing with the bot is logging in and trying to send a message.

sudden geyser Jan 27, 2020, 6:02 PM

#

I mean the source code where you call .login() (assuming it's logged in before you try sending a message). Are you sure you're using the client token and not the client secret

floral bloom Jan 27, 2020, 6:05 PM

#

@sudden geyser I have the message function above the login function, however, I have never had a problem with it.
I use client.login(process.env.TOKEN); to login, and yes, I'm using the token.
I just don't know the problem, I'm doing everything the same as I normally do.

sudden geyser Jan 27, 2020, 6:06 PM

#

yeah you won't have an issue with the event listener being above or below
does logging process.env.TOKEN log your exact token to the console?

floral bloom Jan 27, 2020, 6:07 PM

#

As far as I know, yes, but I will double check.

#

Yes, it does.

#

Ohhhhhhhh, I think I found the problem!

sudden geyser Jan 27, 2020, 6:14 PM

#

what was the issue?

floral bloom Jan 27, 2020, 6:14 PM

#

client.user = require(`./users/${message.author.id}.json`);

client.user can't be written to, only read. 🤦‍♂️

west spoke Jan 27, 2020, 6:14 PM

#

S3KaedeShrug

sudden geyser Jan 27, 2020, 6:15 PM

#

Wouldn't it throw an error if you tried logging in (e.g. login is not a function)

#

also I tried that snippet now and I can't use my bot anymore so gg

floral bloom Jan 27, 2020, 6:16 PM

#

No, because it logs it, but since I can't write to client.user it gives the 401 unauthorized error.

#

That's at the top of my message function, so no command works.

#

Now it works. 😂

#

Thanks for the help anyway. 🙂

mossy vine Jan 27, 2020, 6:28 PM

Ok so my bot now consistently takes less than 1% cpu at all times with 880 shards... it’s all thanks to the upcoming gateway intents feature of discord api

mossy vine Jan 27, 2020, 7:17 PM

#

880 shards. how big is your bot?

green kestrel Jan 27, 2020, 7:18 PM

#

I just need to put some pretty interface on the intents stuff in aegis discord lib and I can submit a pr so all aegis users can benefit

#

Sorry, 880 guilds

#

Typoed

#

I hate using iPhone... the keyboard sucks compared to android gboard

#

If I had 880 shards it would be one shard per server lol, I have ten shards because it costs me no more CPU or ram than one shard, not noticeably any way

earnest phoenix Jan 27, 2020, 8:14 PM

not all guilds will go on their own shard FYI

valid frigate Jan 27, 2020, 9:26 PM

#

on an additional note, cf8's code actually looks really wack because

the console's first portion is repeating itself across all lines that log to the console (redundancy)
its super blurry but your entire bot is in one file, which "good" code is across multiple files

#

and yes i saw that, he just wants to get started with some backend stuff

#

imho making a discord bot is a fairly ok way to get started learning about rest apis maybe, dont take my word on it

it is easier but to feel it easier you have to learn a little difficult language

additionally it's for fast prototyping

any of these:

wait for it to come back (if it does)
check if there's an alternative on the website that offers the same feature
or make your own by caching all the server invites, then checking which one is incremented upon member join to see which invite was used

why does this keep happening

that's why

it sucks because all of those servers then get spammed with the welcome messages

@rotund lance you need to check if the server is going unavailable

1-2 weeks

earnest phoenix Jan 28, 2020, 2:29 PM

#

okey

green kestrel Jan 28, 2020, 2:30 PM

#

so i started out with just a live and dev mode in my bot... so i can run with live or dev token.
i decided that if i needed to stress test i needed more than the 3 guilds the dev bot is in so i added a separate test mode.
test mode runs the bot with the live token but squelches all outbound messages and responses unless the message came from a test server, identified by its id.

can anyone think of any issues with that i may have missed? in short, when im running both test and live side by side no users can tell, because the test instance never answers them so i dont get double replies.

#

it does mean the bot double-replies on the test server, but the only one there is me and the bot

#

you can have a prefix as long as you like

#

personally i have mine as !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#

:missingSarcasmEmoji:

sudden geyser Jan 28, 2020, 2:32 PM

#

Brain could you share your code // examples of what you're doing? Is the bot replying twice to every message or something

edit: preferable a link

earnest phoenix Jan 28, 2020, 2:32 PM

#

Just don't have common prefix

sudden geyser Jan 28, 2020, 2:33 PM

#

you can have one, it'll just be muted here for people who don't care

earnest phoenix Jan 28, 2020, 2:33 PM

#

2 instances of the bot are running

green kestrel Jan 28, 2020, 2:33 PM

#

@sudden geyser no its not, apart from where i tell it it can. im more seeking feedback on if this may be a bad idea for another reason. basically i made a way to run the live bot in a test mode so i can run it twice, but squelch the messages to stop multiple replies.

#

this works, and it doesnt reply twice

#

but i wanted to know if there are any gotchas from this approach, it was a convenient way to run a test bot on 880 guilds

#

without disrupting users

earnest phoenix Jan 28, 2020, 2:34 PM

#

Make an other bot

#

Other app

#

Other token

#

Other code

green kestrel Jan 28, 2020, 2:34 PM

#

i already have another bot, with another token, but the dev bot is only on 3 guilds

#

so if i want to see how a change affects cpu usage on many more servers, i temporarily run in test mode instead

sudden geyser Jan 28, 2020, 2:35 PM

#

actually scratch that (what I just deleted)

green kestrel Jan 28, 2020, 2:36 PM

#

so over at ovh, live sporks runs, 880 servers, replies to messages anywhere its addressed. in my cupboard, test sporks runs, 880 servers, replies to messages only on test but shares its token with live

#

theres a separate dev token i use when im not bothered about giving it a real world user load

#

make sense now?

#

kind of hard to explain

quartz kindle Jan 28, 2020, 2:50 PM

#

what i do is make the test script only answer to me

#

by checking my user id

#

i also give it a different prefix

green kestrel Jan 28, 2020, 3:00 PM

#

ah

#

the only other thing i can think of thats bad is, if i do a booboo and get stuck in a loop, any bans etc will apply to live too as they share a token

#

so i have to be careful

#

basically test becomes step 2 in a 3 step process.... dev environment, there may be fundamental breakage... test environment, it shouldnt break... production environment

sudden geyser Jan 28, 2020, 3:05 PM

#

Look at the code Nathan posted and compare it with your own code

tiny tinsel Jan 28, 2020, 5:12 PM

#

I will try to explain better. So you're running your first query.

#

You check if It is empty with the if condition.

#

What happens If it is not empty?

#

It will try to execute sql.

#

That is empty because it doesn't go through your condition.

#

con.query(`SELECT * FROM prefix WHERE id = ('${message.guild.id}')`, (err, rows) => {
    if (err) throw err;

    if (rows.length === 0) {

Instead of return undefined;

Just return;

@earnest phoenix Do you have a onJoin event?

earnest phoenix Jan 28, 2020, 5:35 PM

no

quartz kindle Jan 28, 2020, 5:35 PM

what Tim is saying is

if there are no rows (rows.length === 0), then there are no rows

else get the prefix from that row (rows[0].prefix)

valid holly Jan 28, 2020, 5:39 PM

@earnest phoenix is your bot reacting to every message on the server ?

#

And you can fix the null pointer error

#

By editing the default prefix onJoin

earnest phoenix Jan 28, 2020, 5:40 PM

#

yes

valid holly Jan 28, 2020, 5:40 PM

#

Basically whenever your bot joins a server write an SQL table with guild.id

#

Easiest way

tiny tinsel Jan 28, 2020, 5:40 PM

#

The problem ain't that.

#

It is what Tim pointed.

I was about to explain him that but surely a little bit rushed today nathan

tiny tinsel Jan 28, 2020, 5:41 PM

I told Hedi earlier to check when the rows is empty.

blissful scaffold Jan 28, 2020, 5:41 PM

#

You might also want to cache the prefix for each guild, else you do a SQL call for every message you receive

tiny tinsel Jan 28, 2020, 5:41 PM

#

But you will have to get the prefix from that query too.

Channel for chatting about (bot) development. If you have questions, ask the questions and wait for someone who can answer to help you. Do not ask to ask. Provide all possible information so people know what's up. Just saying "I get an error" doesn't give us enough information on your problem. Do not @mention people randomly.

@vital lark he'll need a default prefix eventually

yes ur correct

valid holly Jan 28, 2020, 5:49 PM

#

if(rows.length == 0) {
  let prefix = "prefixHere";
} else prefix = rows[0].prefix;

#

But fristly fix your message event

#

Your bot is reacting to every message

#

Even DMChannels

#

which are not part of a guild object

#

Define default prefix at top

earnest phoenix Jan 28, 2020, 5:52 PM

how can i do that if the bot's joinola server is going to break the insert into

valid holly Jan 28, 2020, 5:53 PM

bot.on("message", async message => {

var prefix = "yourPrefix"; // Change yourPrefix to whatever prefix you want your bot to have as default

  if(!message.content.startsWith(prefix) || message.author.bot || !message.guild) return;

});

#

Then

#

You can put the rest of the code reading SQL info

#

And change variable prefix accordingly to the guild's settings

#

I highly suggest you create a configuration for each guild when the bot joins

I already have the way if you are in the list of JSON that you get the role, but doing in in a reverted way, I don't know yet.

So in short: if (user.id != JSON file) { remove roles. }

You wouldn't want to check every member the bot knows of to see if they have the role in order to remove? It could probably be more simple, but I think a before/after would be good so:

Read from the file you're checking (the "after" file)
Compare with a "before" file
Anybody in the before but not the after needs their roles removed
Have the data in "after" copied to "before"? @pallid aspen
