idk, ive been programming mine since late december. other members from here ive spoken to are 3+ years
but their bots are live and in production

wdym approval?
earnest phoenix
ohh
im making a bot that will pm you every 30 mins with alot of stock market stats

i think you should make pm optional though, and have a command to check the info at will 🙂

@violet nimbus how are you using the library? show your code

Anybody know what this means or how to prevent it? I don't have the code for the bot as I am asking for somebody else.
Python is the langauge used
concurrent.futures._base.TimeoutError

Full traceback could help more

?
I don't have the code and that's all the info the bot's owner gave.

Which apk gor pc is best to create a bot
earnest phoenix
so no, not without repeatedly getting messages until the channel creation which is considered api abuse
slender thistle
Alright this got weird in a moment
There's no "apk" for PC to create a bot
A bot is code running under a bot account
safe kayak
I mean’d how ? Where
safe kayak
@earnest phoenix where i have to do !
earnest phoenix
Make the code?
safe kayak
Yes
earnest phoenix
Well first of all what programming langauge do you want to use?

Learn something, there are hundreds of programming langs out there which you can easily learn
I recommend python since it's a high level lang

top level? 
slender thistle
high-level

You can learn online for free or get a paid course

Thank you a lot

Can anyone figure this out?

that's all the info the bot owner is willing to provide

Where did everybody go?

hard to fix an error with no code 🤷♂️
quartz kindle
@earnest phoenix can you explain the situation a bit more? like, who is the bot owner, and who programmed the bot?
and where is the bot running?
earnest phoenix
hold on
static lynx
why does that matter 🥺
earnest phoenix
Because the bot owner only provided that link
static lynx
tell him to provide more
earnest phoenix
@frank wyvern Is the owner
static lynx
i get it that it’s a failed api request?
quartz kindle
this is an issue the programmer of the bot should solve, or whoever is responsible for maintaining the bot's code
static lynx
or ask stack overflow😳

yeah but stackoverflow wont help if he isnt the one who coded it

lusty quest
for(x in array) {
const log = bot.players.get(guildid,array[x])
data.push(log)
}``` I generate Unix timestamps for in the command set past x days. after this i want to retrive logs from the x days from an enmap database. the timestamps i push into an array but for some reason i cant get any data back from the database. (i use the unix timestamp as key)
late hill
what is array
lusty quest
an array of the Unix timestamps
var d = new Date();
d.setDate(d.getDate() - i);
d.setHours(0, 0, 0, 0);
day = d/1000
array.push(day)
i++;
};
console.log(array)
let x
for(x in array) {
const log = bot.players.get(guildid,array[x])
data.push(log)
} ```your 2nd parameter signifies a property to get from the object
Did you put the timestamp as a property
How did you save this data to your enmap
lusty quest
how i set the data in the database?
late hill
yes
lusty quest
bot.guilds.forEach(guild => {
date= Math.floor(new Date().setHours(0,0,0,0) / 1000)
var members = guild.memberCount
console.log(members)
bot.players.set(guild.id,members,date)
})
}``` gets called by an timeout every day at a set timeI don't think that works the way you think it does
lusty quest
when i run it manually without the loop for getting data is works
late hill
You should try logging bot.players.get(guildid)
and see what it actually looks like
idk enmaps are weird
lusty quest
i dont want to retrive every log in the enmap just the last few.
late hill
It's basically just an extended map
You're mapping certain objects to guild id's
In the code up above you're attempting to fetch one of those objects and get it's "timestamp_here" property
I'm questioning if that property exists to begin with
lusty quest
its set as key for the log for the day.
when i run just get(guildid) i get back an array of the timestamps and the log attached to it
late hill
Maybe that's the issue
If it's an array of them you probably won't be able to use the actual timestamp the way you did
Because it's likely using that timestamp as an index on the array instead

@late hill i use the same way to get my per server config. and this works. the only difference here is that i have a unix timestamp instead of a name
late hill
It's also an array?
If you literally just saved an array of timestamps on it, there's pretty much nothing you can get from that
The same thing would happen if you just saved an array of names
you'd need some kind of key-value pair
lusty quest
yea just realized it. but i think im already know a solution

from an object instead of an array

Quick question using Discord.JS I know the fucntion but for some reason it just doesn't want to come to me I am making a welcome message for when a user joins the server so I am using the guildMemberAdd event but I want it to return if the user is a bot I thought if(member.user.bot) return would work but no luck
Also no errors just doesn't work as expected honestly doesn't work at all
quartz kindle
it should work
hoary elm
Yeah that's what I thought
quartz kindle
can you console.log(member) or console.log(member.user)?
hoary elm
It will console log them but it still sends out the welcome message for some reason
quartz kindle
can you show your code?
hoary elm
Of course
One sec
I also use discord.js 11.5.1 don't know if that matters any but 🤷🏻♂️
quartz kindle
do you have any other onMemberAdd event? any other instance of the bot?
hoary elm
No just that one and this is the only instance of the bot for now still a pretty fresh bot so
quartz kindle
what does console.log(member.user.bot) return?

Можешь уточнить, в чём конкретно состоит проблема?
slender thistle
От части

Понял
НУ кароче
Мне надо чтобы бот тригерился на пару реакций
И мог выбирать на какую именно нажали
Например 👎 и 👍
quartz kindle
@hoary elm if the guildMemberAdd event is firing an empty member object then something is very wrong lol
hoary elm
Yeah that's why I said it makes no sense since to my knowledge member should be defined in that event
slender thistle
Ок, а ты как хочешь реализовать? Когда бот должен ожидать этих реакций?
rough current
Например команда хелп
quartz kindle
try adding this ```js
client.on("raw", r => {
if(r.t === "GUILD_MEMBER_ADD") { console.log(r); }
})
И бот нашет какую реакцию нужно для какой категории
И пользователь уже выбирает что ему смотреть
Ну мне нужна только помощь в реакциях
Чтобы мог смотреть какую именно нажали
hoary elm
Ok I'll add that and see what happens..
slender thistle
в параметре check для функции wait_for просто уточни message.channel == m.content и возможно ещё добавить message.author == m.author
slender thistle
А, извиняюсь, я немного перепутал сами события
stable horizon
Help it's in elvish
slender thistle
def check(reaction, user):
return user == message.author and reaction.message.channel == message.channel and reaction.emoji in [лист нужных тебе реакций]
reaction, user = await client.wait_for('reaction_add', check = check)
if reaction == реакция_1:
# код1
if reaction == реакция_2:
# код2
no its vodka
slender thistle
Тебе нужно убедиться, что на сообщение реакцию ставит именно тот пользователь, который использовал команду и то, что реакция была произведена в том же канале
и сразу проверяешь мол реакция из нужных
Надеюсь код примерно понятен

Полностью понятен

It's definitely better than not being able to open pastebin when someone posted their traceback there

I think there is a 30 minute cache, so after you edit it it can take 30 minutes before you see the change

also for an image you need <meta name="og:image" content="image url here">
you can remove the other image tags
zenith orchid
I think if you wait for clear cache, its worked.

Yes?

as you create the bot? you mean when your bot joins a guild?

why would you run node-fetch install wtf

I mean the WARN bits

ignore them

because the first WARN says to use node-fetch

you can mostly ignore the WARNs

the warn is not for you

do I need to deal with the "requires a peer" WARN bit?
mossy vine
no

its discord.js v11 that uses a deprecated library, thats what the warning is for

ok then

peer dependencies are optional
and uws is not recommended
its known to cause a lot of issues

viral spade
Hello, i have a question about sharding..
Assume i have 2 different bots, both sharded and with the same amount of shards. BUT with completely random servers that invited them. Although its random, some servers will have invited both bots. Will these servers be on the same shard id for both bots?
i am assuming this is the case because of the sharding calculation formula (guild_id >> 22) % num_shards == shard_id, which says to me, that the shardid is only dependend on the actual guild id (and amount of shards), which should be the same for both bots.
split hazel
I tried to google an answer but couldnt, im interested to know how online games like pubg, minecraft, clash royale, brawl stars etc track where characters are on the map and how do they deliver the information to the client so quickly and smoothly
quartz kindle
@viral spade yes i believe so
slender thistle
websockets
viral spade
@quartz kindle Follow up question: But that also means that, if i am extremely unlucky it could be that of my 10 shards started, only the first will have 1k servers, but the rest none?
split hazel
well no shit but even websockets have minimal latency
slender thistle
All I know is they're speedy
split hazel
im not very interested in that, but rather on how they track where characters are on the map
amber fractal
@split hazel https://youtu.be/uh8XaC0Y5MA
quartz kindle
@viral spade supposedly yes, although i've never seen a strong deviation in guild ids and shards, idk how i would explain it
amber fractal
This is an entire tutorial
If you're really interested
It's 7 parts
But a lot of it is unity specific (obviously)
quartz kindle
i dont know much about game design, but my take is the client using UDP to stream packets to the server
most games, character positions is not synchronized so you often see glitchy movement when lag happens
split hazel
well yeah, i've also seen the client take over the character movements, mostly in clash royale
and when slight lag happens, the characters get moved back to where the server belives it is
quartz kindle
yeah, they use many corrections to resync positions
and predictive movement/pathing

whats the difference between the message attachment proxyURL and the url

you'd ideally want to use url
proxy url is for external images being forwarded through discord

My bot is having problems, im using canvas-constructor here is my code the bot sends a black background instead of thr image its suppost to be sending.
const { Attachment } = require('discord.js');
const readFile = require('util').promisify(require('fs').readFile);
const { Canvas } = require('canvas-constructor');
const snekfetch = require('snekfetch');

let user = msg.mentions.users.first() || bot.users.get(args[0]);
if(!user) user = msg.author;
try{
const paintMess = await msg.channel.send('Working on it... ');
const plate = await ('https://cdn.glitch.com/0a96f05c-d7e5-41d5-8422-6adb49bbe599%2Fbeautiful.png?v=1582057361914');

await paintMess.delete();
return msg.channel.send(new Attachment(getBeautiful, `beautiful-${user}.gif`));
}catch(e){
return msg.channel.send(`ERROR: Please try again later or alert my dev's support server can be found on (removed) Error Message: ${e.message}`);
}
}
}
I want it to send the background image
quartz kindle
@unborn steeple you need to download the image to use it with canvas
the official node-canvas library has a loadImage function that does that
if canvas-constructor is updated, it should also have it
i looked at canvas-constructor's source code
you should be able to use js const { loadImage } = Canvas.internalCanvas;
and then you can use this https://github.com/Automattic/node-canvas#loadimage

ok so, i have a question, i coded/made a discord moderation bot, added other commands right? i added a command only I can use, it's called !servers. It detects how much servers, then displays it. So like "There's 5 servers!" But, it doesn't work. I've been testing this, so when I would have the bot join a server, it would still say something like "5 servers!" even though there would be six, then I would restart my bot, then it would finally show "6 servers!"
If you need my code, here.
.
.
const { ownerid } = require("../../loaders/reader"); //get ownerid from botconfig file
module.exports = {
config: {
name: "servers",
aliases: ["servc"]
},
run: async (bot, message, args) => {
if (message.author.id != ownerid) return; //only owner can use
try {
await message.channel.send(`The bot is on ${bot.users.size} servers.`);
} catch (e) {
return message.channel.send(`ERROR: ${e.message}`);
}
}
}
does anyone know how I can get is to actually work so it dosent have to restart every time I want to know how much servers are using my bot?
copper cradle
Are you getting any errors? Btw change != to !==
neat ingot
your checking users size, not servers
copper cradle
The difference between == and === is that: == converts the variable values to the same type before performing comparison. This is called type coercion. === does not do any type conversion (coercion) and returns true only if both values and types are identical for the two variables being compared.
Oh shit didn't realizs
But also change that

any reason why this crashes? I have no errors, it just randomly stops.

my bot has a few configurable settings that have to be set in order to unlock one of the main features (it spawns enemies to battle, needs the spawn channel to be set, and spawns enabled). How would i be best to show the setup guide to new users?
Would you recommend I have the bot send a 'hi im here' type message when he joins a new guild, showing the vital commands to setup things? or is there a better solution?

@neat ingot best practice is always to have a help command, you can make it be called by the bot mention as well

oh wait nvm, lagging now 😄
yea, i have the help command, its advertized as my bots status also ('Playing !!help for x users'), you think that is enough though? and the help command doesnt show setup info, it show commands help info. should i add an option for an optional argument like '!!help setup' maybe?

im seriously confused
I researched this, and it said to "poll" the pygame event, and I am

i guess i could easily check if a server has used the help command before, and then send additional setup help info if they havent

Trying to use Markdown to add hover text over href
[Some Text](Some Link "Some Hover Text") tried this.

ive never heard of doing a conditional as part of a function call like that

Just not the second half, I had to separate it.

So I have includes 1, then includes 2

I realized a check earlier didn't work
That's what my issue actually was

the "" || "" would have been like a boolean, either this or this, that then gets checked for included

Webhooks here just any webhooks

I think certbot uses letsencrypt tho
bitter sundial
certbot is a cli tool for letsencrypt
quartz kindle
afaik letsencrypt is the only free certificate authority, so every thing out there uses them

If u use cloudflare dont use certbot, just apply ssl in FULL STRICT for cloudflare and this work perfectly 
quartz kindle
The Full (strict) SSL option checks for SSL certificate validity at the origin web server. A self-signed certificate cannot be used. A Cloudflare Origin CA certificate or valid certificate purchased from a Certificate Authority is required to avoid 526 errors.

Do you really have to edit it that much
you also don't have to create a new embed each time
you can simply use the same one but just edit its properties
which in the case of editing a message, kind of makes sense too

fetchMember is a promise iirc
anything that has fetch in it's name implies a request to the api

muted vortex
I'm trying to do this:
"if the client is not predefined" is client referring to node or discord.js ?
quartz kindle
it shows two examples, one with a "predefined client" the other without
the difference between those two examples is the existence of Discord = require("discord.js") and client = new Discord.Client()
therefore it is referring to discord.js
muted vortex
which file do those lines go into? package.json, package-lock.json index.js or config.json ?
ah, they look like index.js lines
I'm learning 😜
quartz kindle
they cannot be json files because they contain javascript code
json files can only contain storage objects, not code
JSON stands for Javascript Object Notation so its quite literally a javascript object written as a string and meant to store simple data

Increasing the latency stops this from happening but the game becomes very choppy and slow. Is there any good way i can mitigate this and use something else instead to stop the packet drops and increase the smoothness

is the server and/or client getting bottlenecked somewhere?

your reaction collector will only work once
you have awaitReactions() with a limit of 1 message, then after the reaction is received, it edits the message and the code finishes and exits
it will not await for more reactions
you need to either restart the function or use a reaction collector
grizzled raven
how do you
when you install a package while the program is already running, how do you require it?
cause it keeps throwing the "Cannot find module <module>" error

quartz kindle
@grizzled raven check this https://www.npmjs.com/package/live-plugin-manager
@wicked pivot what you want to do is not as easy as you think because it requires that the message is cached, and if your bot restarts, it will no longer react to that message, but basically you have two options: a reactionCollector or a recursive function
grizzled raven
so i have to restart my bot to use that
xd
honestly i'll just wait
actually
no nvm
quartz kindle
OPTION ONE
// reaction collector
const collector = message.createReactionCollector(filter, { time: 3600000 }); // work for 1 hour
collector.on('collect', r => console.log(`Collected ${r.emoji.name}`)); // the collect event will be fired every time someone reacts, not only once
collector.on('end', collected => console.log(`Collected ${collected.size} items`));
OPTION TWO
// recursive function
function reactions(msg) {
msg.awaitReactions(filter,options).then(result => {
// do the message edit here
reactions(msg) // restart the reaction function to listen to the next reaction
})
}
@wicked pivot
grizzled raven
so if i use that, will i have to use the manager.require instead of require?
wicked pivot
sorry I took too much head with this code x)
quartz kindle
@grizzled raven yes, you can also check its source code to see how they do it
quartz kindle
i checked it out of curiosity
basically they do it like this
resolve module path and entry point from package.json
get main file contents with fs.readFileSync
execute/eval file code in a vm sandbox
return result and cache it as a variable
export it back to you
grizzled raven
oh ok cool
btw
when you read a file, how do you like
convert it from buffer bytes to readable string?
