vagrant tree Feb 24, 2020, 9:09 PM

it really doesnt like this line: ```py
message, user = pending_tasks[ctx.message.author]
KeyError: <Member id=402805485364969473 name='dracount' discriminator='3902' bot=False nick=None guild=<Guild id=676127269294571530 name='dracounts' shard_id=None chunked=True member_count=2>>

modest maple Feb 24, 2020, 9:09 PM

#

what is ur code now

#

i think u slightly miss understood my last statement xD

vagrant tree Feb 24, 2020, 9:11 PM

#

😓 ```py
def check(m):
try:
return m.author == ctx.message.author and m.channel == ctx.message.channel and int(m.content) > 0 and int(m.content) < 11
except:
print('failed...',m.content)
return False

    try:
        message = bot.wait_for('message', timeout=300.0, check=check)
        print('completed check!!!',message)
        message, user = pending_tasks[ctx.message.author]
    except asyncio.TimeoutError:
        await ctx.send('Timeout')
    else:
        await ctx.send('Cool, thanks!')
    
    print('im not sure whats going on...',message, user)

    selection_message = await bot.wait_for('message',check=check)

#

i really thought there would be a better way of cancelling old commands 🤔

grave jacinth Feb 24, 2020, 9:16 PM

#

ok xd

modest maple Feb 24, 2020, 9:16 PM

#

@vagrant tree you dont need

            message, user = pending_tasks[ctx.message.author]```

at all

#

you need to await wait_for

#

that gives you your message object

grave jacinth Feb 24, 2020, 9:17 PM

#

what you think about glitch

modest maple Feb 24, 2020, 9:17 PM

#

that check will ignore any events that are not acting within the time frame of X user in X channel

#

i would lower your time out

#

i understand you're trying to limit how many of those checks you have going at once

#

i would keep a standard dict with userId and a Bool if its really needed

#

set bool to false when the task is done

#

if its not its set to true

#

if when we check the userId in the dict its true we just return or do something there

earnest phoenix Feb 24, 2020, 9:19 PM

@grave jacinth It works fine for small bots but if you plan to do anything intensive get a VPS if possible

regal saddle Feb 24, 2020, 9:19 PM

#

i switched from python to js...Translate the code is kinda aids pandasad

modest maple Feb 24, 2020, 9:19 PM

#

ofc it is

#

they are completely diffrent syntaxes

regal saddle Feb 24, 2020, 9:20 PM

#

yep

modest maple Feb 24, 2020, 9:20 PM

#

and one handles alot more

grave jacinth Feb 24, 2020, 9:20 PM

#

ok i need host or vps

regal saddle Feb 24, 2020, 9:20 PM

#

Im working with modules to get it a bit better 🙂

modest maple Feb 24, 2020, 9:20 PM

#

y did u even switch from py to js

regal saddle Feb 24, 2020, 9:21 PM

#

dont know, python was kinda weird

#

for me

#

pls dont hurt me chief zoomeyes

vagrant tree Feb 24, 2020, 9:22 PM

#

yes, thanks for the help. half understood code from stackoverflow is a trap

#

i dont suppose its possible on a new command to kill any existing commands from the same author?

modest maple Feb 24, 2020, 9:28 PM

#

not rlly easily

#

you start getting into rather advanced areas of asyncio at that point

vagrant tree Feb 24, 2020, 9:29 PM

#

ok. im just gonna let this thing execute twice. i dont see any easy solution to this right now... maybe ill try again another time

modest maple Feb 24, 2020, 9:29 PM

#

i mean that code will only trigger once

#

once that check is true itll fire

#

and thats it

#

wont fire again

vagrant tree Feb 24, 2020, 9:33 PM

#

how its meant to work is: ```
?command select A
<options 1-10 A embed shown>
10
<show option 10>

my issue:
?command select A
<options 1-10 A embed shown>
?command select B
<options 1-10 B embed shown>
5
<show option 5A>
<show option 5B>

quartz kindle Feb 24, 2020, 9:35 PM

#

one way is to somehow disable/cancel existing waiters, another way is to track states in memory

#

since select A and select B are separate commands, they will be treated separately. if you want one of them to override the other, you could have some variable tracking the current state, and have both commands read/write to the same variable to figure out which page is being shown right now

vagrant tree Feb 24, 2020, 9:37 PM

#

i am really surprised this is not a common issue

quartz kindle Feb 24, 2020, 9:38 PM

#

its not a common issue because people rarely use separate commands that await for options

#

and when they do, its because they want people to open both options at once

modest maple Feb 24, 2020, 9:39 PM

#

send ur code again

#

u are doing this

#

very very weirdly

quartz kindle Feb 24, 2020, 9:39 PM

#

and also, users will rarely ever type both commands, they will answer the first commend before attempting to open the second one

vagrant tree Feb 24, 2020, 9:41 PM

#

        await ctx.send(embed=embeded,content='Search details')

        def check(m):

            except:
                print('failed...',m.content)
                return False

        try:
            selection_message = await bot.wait_for('message',check=check)
        except asyncio.TimeoutError:
            await ctx.send('Timeout')
        else:
            await ctx.send('Cool, thanks!')
        
        print('selection message = ',selection_message)
        selection = selection_message.content

modest maple Feb 24, 2020, 9:41 PM

#

you know that will never time out now right?

regal saddle Feb 24, 2020, 9:41 PM

#

that js?

modest maple Feb 24, 2020, 9:42 PM

#

that would be python

#

notice the distinct lack of {}

regal saddle Feb 24, 2020, 9:42 PM

#

youre right

#

pogey

vagrant tree Feb 24, 2020, 9:44 PM

#

well since i dont actually know how to cancel a previous im going to just get the timeout working and move on from there

modest maple Feb 24, 2020, 9:44 PM

#

that wont timeout

#

that will cause many a issues

vagrant tree Feb 24, 2020, 9:44 PM

#

yes i need to work on that

modest maple Feb 24, 2020, 9:44 PM

#

set timeout = to 30 or somthing

#

otherthan that

#

looks alright

vagrant tree Feb 24, 2020, 9:54 PM

#

@modest maple thanks for all the help. much appreciated

amber fractal Feb 24, 2020, 10:02 PM

#

Hey CF you know what RuntimeError: Timeout context manager should be used inside a task means?

#

it's from discord.py on a command

slim heart Feb 24, 2020, 10:03 PM

#

okay so would it be better for times mutes to set a timeout if it's within 5 minutes or something like that to more accurately mute at a specific time rather than being on the minute or several? like accuracy > scalability idk

amber fractal Feb 24, 2020, 10:04 PM

#

I always went with checking the mute database (or whatever) every 5 minutes and checking the times

#

I think setting a timeout for every mute just wouldnt be a good idea (on a bigger bot)

slim heart Feb 24, 2020, 10:22 PM

#

well a setTimeout for anything within small time

quartz kindle Feb 24, 2020, 10:23 PM

#

i would use a timeout and also store the timers in the db, to resume the timeouts on process restarts

#

shouldnt be much of a problem to have a few thousand timeouts running

kindred wadi Feb 24, 2020, 10:24 PM

const moment = require('moment');
const Discord = require('discord.js');

  client.appInfo = await client.fetchApplication();

    }, 60000);
  require("../util/dashboard.js")(client);
console.log('>>Playing updated.');
console.log('Bot joined.');
console.log(`[${moment().format('YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss')}] BOT:  ` + client.channels.size + ` channel, ` + client.guilds.size + ` server ` + client.guilds.reduce((a, b) => a + b.memberCount, 0).toLocaleString() + ` Online!`);
    var Games = [
      
        `🚀 ${client.guilds.size} Server | 🚀 ${client.users.size} User`
    ];
  
  setInterval(function() {
    var random = Math.floor(Math.random()*(Games.length-0+1)+0);
    client.user.setActivity(Games[random], { type: "STREAMING", url: "STREAMLINK" } );
  }, 2 * 2000);

};```

😥 Old bot

quartz kindle Feb 24, 2020, 10:24 PM

#

if your bot is that big that requires tens of thousands of timeouts, you could split and group them in batches of 1 second or 5 seconds or something like that and round the timers to that

#

another option would be to combine the best of both worlds. have an interval running every minute or 5 minutes or so, and fire a timeout for each mute that will expire in less than the interval minute(s)

modest maple Feb 24, 2020, 10:29 PM

#

I'd just use a Cron system

#

Just set time events so when it's X time Tigger the event with a payload of users etc...

topaz fjord Feb 24, 2020, 10:58 PM

isn't snekfetch deprecated

how 2 watch for redis expire event

#

https://conquestsim.io/upload/recondite-linen-4308.png

ie i set the value like so, how do i watch for its expirey

slim heart Feb 25, 2020, 12:49 AM

#

I've never been an avid linux user but im looking into moving from windows server.
I do need some help (and if anyone is good with it and willing to help hmu)
but i do have a question, what are the replacements for exe's in terms of actual running applications? Like right now I run my mongodb.exe and it's like a legitimate application in the task bar. Instead is it going to be like a service? Or what alternative etc. I've no idea at this point

topaz fjord Feb 25, 2020, 12:50 AM

#

mongodb has a linux version

#

@slim heart

#

it depends on the services/.exe you use

slim heart Feb 25, 2020, 12:50 AM

#

i know that but how does that work, im just making an example out of it

topaz fjord Feb 25, 2020, 12:50 AM

#

most have a linux counterpart

hoary elm Feb 25, 2020, 12:50 AM

#

 ... 
}```

```client.expire(id, idYouPicked)``` should work from what the docs say  @earnest phoenix

https://redis.io/commands/expire

topaz fjord Feb 25, 2020, 12:50 AM

#

through systemctl / services

#

they run as daemons in the background

slim heart Feb 25, 2020, 12:50 AM

#

like rn i can login to my vps and there's a mongodb.exe app running on the taskbar what's the replacement

topaz fjord Feb 25, 2020, 12:50 AM

#

you can set it up to boot with the server

slim heart Feb 25, 2020, 12:50 AM

#

ah so like a background service

topaz fjord Feb 25, 2020, 12:51 AM

#

yeah

slim heart Feb 25, 2020, 12:51 AM

#

interesting okay. thnx for that

topaz fjord Feb 25, 2020, 12:51 AM

#

np

#

@slim heart also, if there are programs that don't typically run as daemons, you can create service files to make it run as one

slim heart Feb 25, 2020, 12:52 AM

#

okay, ill have to lookup how to do that, sounds great tho

topaz fjord Feb 25, 2020, 12:52 AM

#

ye

earnest phoenix Feb 25, 2020, 1:05 AM

@hoary elm im not trying to manually expire

im trying to watch for expires

hoary elm Feb 25, 2020, 1:05 AM

#

Oh my bad

#

🤦🏻‍♂️

#

Misread what you said

#

For that try https://redis.io/topics/notifications

#

That's what currently holds their "watch or notification on whatever " events

#


All the commands affecting a given key.

All the keys receiving an LPUSH operation.

All the keys expiring in the database 0.

#

This is what is currently possible with it

bitter sundial Feb 25, 2020, 11:11 AM

I dont think so

but they need to add hierarchy to channel overrides and add a permission for modifying slowmode separately

self ping lol

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 12:09 PM

#

it used to be to differentiate members with nicknames

#

if the member had a nickname set, your bot would receive !id instead of id

#

but now its not like that anymore, your bot pretty much always receives !id

copper cradle Feb 25, 2020, 12:10 PM

seriously

#

well

#

that's kinda stupid

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 12:10 PM

anyways if you want your bot to handle mentions, it needs to handle both versions because you never know

It currently returns @everyone whenever a role is updated, therefore posting the user roles, and then @everyone is the one added, no matter if I add or remove anything.

I need a shard if my bot is in this server?

#

Bot has started, with 20703 users, in 108 channels of 4 guilds.

#

No

#

You need to shard when you get close to 2.5k guilds

At 2.5k guilds discord won't let you login unless you shard

#

What's a shard?

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 1:07 PM

#

a shard is a discord connection

#

once a bot reaches 2500 guilds, sharding becomes required, which means splitting your bot into multiple connections

#

so a single connection doesnt get overloaded

slow pike Feb 25, 2020, 1:08 PM

#

do you do that in programming or there's support for that, in Discord .NET for example

#

i know there is a property of shards, i just need to add more of those?

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 1:09 PM

#

there is support, but i dont know about Discord.net

#

let me check

slow pike Feb 25, 2020, 1:09 PM

#

weak parrot Feb 25, 2020, 1:14 PM

#

No they're not the same but using them can be quite similair depending on what you're trying to do.

#

DSharpPlus and Discord.Net both have really easy sharding anyway ¯_(ツ)_/¯

(and yes ik pm2 i'm just doing this for a specific program that can manage the pm2 so obv i cant host it on there lol) also that's what i do on bat but i'm turning into linux

./start.sh but otherwise yeah

yeah that works

ah alr thnx

slim heart Feb 25, 2020, 2:07 PM

#

what's like the standard directory for all the files to be held for a server in linux?

#

i remember like something but idk

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 2:15 PM

#

for user files? it depends, could be /root or /home or /username

#

or even /home/username

#

most likely when you connect via ssh, it should default to the correct folder

slim heart Feb 25, 2020, 2:17 PM

#

for things that the server should be hosting, not like for personal use

#

so like the place where id put all my bot files and applications to be ran

#

like rn in windows i just have all my files in C:/Workspace

slim heart Feb 25, 2020, 2:34 PM

#

also where would things like database data go?

pine bear Feb 25, 2020, 2:41 PM

#

I ran npm init -y on node.js but it didn't really work.

earnest phoenix Feb 25, 2020, 2:43 PM

#

what didnt work

pine bear Feb 25, 2020, 2:49 PM

#

npm init -y

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 2:51 PM

#

@slim heart i put them in the default folders

#

/root/bot1 or /home/bot1

#

whatever the ssh opens by default

#

same with databases, if a db is only used by one project, put it in its folder as well

#

if the db is used by many projects, put it in a dedicated folder

slim heart Feb 25, 2020, 2:53 PM

#

i think imma do /home/jpb will be like my workspace dir

#

i was told in djs to do it

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 2:54 PM

#

yeah should be fine

#

i basically use whatever ssh defaults to as my workspace

#

since i dont use the server for anything other than the things im hosting

slim heart Feb 25, 2020, 2:55 PM

#

right

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 2:55 PM

#

@pine bear explain what you mean by "didnt work". what didnt work? what did you want to happen and what did happen?

#

So that's done

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 4:04 PM

#

good

#

now you should have a package.json file

#

in the folder

pine bear Feb 25, 2020, 4:05 PM

#

That's neat.

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 4:05 PM

#

how go back to the command prompt, open it again if you closed it (by using the shift-rightclick method)

#

and type npm install discord.js

pine bear Feb 25, 2020, 4:06 PM

#

Ok

#

Done

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 4:07 PM

#

now you need to create a file called index.js or yourbotname.js whatever you prefer

#

but the file needs to have a .js extension

#

you need to enable extensions in order to see it

#

you enable extensions like this

#

Thx

#

I'll learn myself for now

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 4:10 PM

#

(this is for creating and sending a discord webhook to discord, it has nothing to do with top.gg webhooks or any other)

#

just to make sure we're on the same page

pine bear Feb 25, 2020, 4:13 PM

#

I think I did it.

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 4:14 PM

#

so now you should have 3 things in your folder

#

node_modules
mybot.js
package.json

pine bear Feb 25, 2020, 4:15 PM

#

It only says
-node_modules

pine bear Feb 25, 2020, 4:24 PM

#

Ok

#

There

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 4:24 PM

#

now you need a code editor, a program to help you code

#

there are many out there, like notepad++, sublime text, visual studio code, brackets, atom...

#

just chose one, download it and install it

#

they're all free

pine bear Feb 25, 2020, 4:25 PM

#

Done

#

Long time ago

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 4:25 PM

#

ok

#

now open myfile.js in your code editor

#

this file is where you will program your bot

#

now since you're using discord.js, you should check the discord.js documentation and guides for how to use it

#

https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/general/welcome

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.

#

pine bear Feb 25, 2020, 4:27 PM

Lmao

native jay Feb 25, 2020, 4:27 PM

#

hey everyone

#

how long does it usually take to get the bot verified?

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 4:29 PM

#

@pine bear anyways, read up those links, study it in detail, its not a easy subject, programming can be quite hard to get into, and you need lots of logical thinking. for example, the basic example is this: ```js
const Discord = require('discord.js');
const client = new Discord.Client();

client.on('ready', () => {
console.log(Logged in as ${client.user.tag}!);
});

client.on('message', msg => {
if (msg.content === 'ping') {
msg.reply('pong');
}
});

client.login('token');```

#

the first lines setup discord.js in your code, then you add some functions for what the bot should do, then you login to discord with your bot token

#

this is a barebones setup

#

you can copy and paste this into your myfile.js if you want to start with that

#

then save the file

#

and you can run your bot by going back to your command window and typing node myfile.js

#

then its just a matter of coding, saving, running, etc

native jay Feb 25, 2020, 4:31 PM

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 4:31 PM

pine bear Feb 25, 2020, 4:31 PM

#

Visual studio code doesn't seem to be making my file show

#

can a single js websocket server handle the stress of about 100-400 users inputting something in the span of 3-5 seconds, if yes, would it have any significant memory/cpu usage complications

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 4:44 PM

#

depends on what the server has to do with each request

#

if it just some mild in-memory text processing, it should be easily able to handle thousands per second

#

as the complexity of the request increases, so will the cpu usage

#

memory wont be affected much, unless you're working on large payloads

mossy vine Feb 25, 2020, 4:46 PM

#

most complexity would be incrementing a counter i think

#

rest of it can be processed elsewhere without handling input

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 4:47 PM

#

then you should be fine

mossy vine Feb 25, 2020, 4:47 PM

aight thanks

Does client.login('token'); does token have to be the bots actual token?

pine bear Feb 25, 2020, 5:56 PM

#

How do I get the JavaScript code into the bot now?

earnest phoenix Feb 25, 2020, 5:57 PM

#

make sure you have your bots token in the code, must likely under client.login('token'), and then you want to run node myfile.js

tight plinth Feb 25, 2020, 5:57 PM

#

U just put the js code in index.js

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 5:59 PM

#

the bot IS the file you created earlier, remember?

#

all code should be inside that file

pine bear Feb 25, 2020, 6:00 PM

#

Ok

tight plinth Feb 25, 2020, 6:01 PM

#

If you think your bot is ready to run launch a terminal, use the CD command to go to ur bot folder and then do npm start

#

Wait no

#

U should do npm index.js

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 6:03 PM

#

he named his file something else

so it should be node myfile.js or whatever he named the file

is there any sort of way to set like a globally accessible variable for any node program without have to add anything to the code like no requiring or anything like that especially since i want it accessible from programs that are in all sorts of different locations so i'd have to write it purposeful for each different one (and no absolute paths)

i'm dumb

I will say, most of it was copy and paste from guides

slender thistle Feb 25, 2020, 7:40 PM

#

Yeah, that's not exactly recommended

elfin jasper Feb 25, 2020, 7:41 PM

i've been getting that feeling

slender thistle Feb 25, 2020, 7:41 PM

#

I recommend getting the hang of Python itself first before getting to complex libraries like discord.py

Would you say that a one-hour delay between a repeated piece of code is long enough for it not to be API spam?

slender thistle Feb 25, 2020, 7:49 PM

#

Does it only send one request?

true ravine Feb 25, 2020, 7:52 PM

#

It's three

#

I can make the delay longer if necessary but 1 hour is a nice number

#

Wait I assume bot.guilds.size is an API request?

clear sluice Feb 25, 2020, 7:55 PM

#

Yep

true ravine Feb 25, 2020, 7:55 PM

#

Yeah so three requests every x time

#

I don't really mind what x is

#

That's what I'm asking

#

What should x be ideally

slender thistle Feb 25, 2020, 7:56 PM

#

You mean is bot.guilds.size sending an HTTP request?

#

bot.guilds is cached tho Thonkang

true ravine Feb 25, 2020, 7:57 PM

#

Oh so that wouldn't be anything to do with the API?

slender thistle Feb 25, 2020, 7:57 PM

#

The library will fetch guilds for you and store them in bot.guilds

hushed berry Feb 25, 2020, 7:57 PM

#

You're not even able to retrieve your bot's guilds via the api

slender thistle Feb 25, 2020, 7:57 PM

#

Stuff like bot.fetchGuilds() would make sense to send HTTP requests

true ravine Feb 25, 2020, 7:58 PM

#

Basically I want to log the values of bot.guilds.size to a csv file

#

So in that case I wouldn't be sending any requests to the API?

hushed berry Feb 25, 2020, 7:58 PM

#

No

@true ravine 300mb sounds a bit too much, what does your bot do?

pine bear Feb 25, 2020, 8:12 PM

#

Lmao it looks like periods not commas

slim heart Feb 25, 2020, 8:12 PM

#

i assume so but does ubuntu come preinstalled with git?

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 8:13 PM

#

nvm, your bot is not approved yet

modest maple Feb 25, 2020, 8:13 PM

#

did your IDE not even notice the fact that hell just got yeeted at that object?

true ravine Feb 25, 2020, 8:13 PM

#

its probably this server
Nah I'm not in this one because I'm not approved yet - only like 39 cached users

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 8:13 PM

#

so yeah, the normal ram usage for that amount of caching should be about 70-80mb

#

not 300

true ravine Feb 25, 2020, 8:14 PM

#

It's just a basic aws vps so there could be all kinds of demons lurking on the machine I haven't discovered

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 8:15 PM

#

what lib do you use? discord.js?

true ravine Feb 25, 2020, 8:15 PM

#

Yup

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 8:15 PM

#

are you using pm2?

true ravine Feb 25, 2020, 8:15 PM

#

Yeah

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 8:15 PM

#

and pm2 shows 300mb for your bot?

true ravine Feb 25, 2020, 8:16 PM

#

No I've only ever seen the ram usage when I restart the bot at like 18mb

#

On pm2 I mean

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 8:16 PM

#

run pm2 ls or pm2 monit

true ravine Feb 25, 2020, 8:17 PM

#

Oof says 16 mb

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 8:17 PM

#

well, 16mb is also not normal lmao

#

the node process itself should use about 40-50mb

true ravine Feb 25, 2020, 8:17 PM

#

Wait I'm looking at the wrong number

#

53/54mb

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 8:18 PM

#

alright that sounds more normal

true ravine Feb 25, 2020, 8:18 PM

#

The 300mb is total system usage so I was assuming most of that was taken up by the bot

#

But no

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 8:19 PM

#

try running top

honest perch Feb 25, 2020, 8:19 PM

@slender thistle discord.js

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 8:19 PM

assuming your system is linux based

true ravine Feb 25, 2020, 8:19 PM

#

Yeah ubuntu

slender thistle Feb 25, 2020, 8:20 PM

#

Getting size of bot.users sounds like an idea

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 8:20 PM

#

top should show you a list of processes, you can see what is using so much ram

true ravine Feb 25, 2020, 8:20 PM

#

Which is actual mem usage because I can only see percentage use

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 8:20 PM

#

RES is the actual memory

#

in kib

#

but %MEM is also accurate

true ravine Feb 25, 2020, 8:21 PM

#

Things keep popping up and disappearing and some of them have very high res numbers

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 8:21 PM

take a print and post it here

         var removedRole = ''

         change = Changes.removedRole
         if(!removedRole){
            // check if roles were added

         }```

Hey Tim, thanks for the advise, it's working really well now. A new issue that is occurring is it always defaults to added role, even if I remove a role. This is the code that is checking it.

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 8:23 PM

#

you dont need to do that comparison

#

the removedRole line is enough by it self, you just need to check if it exists

honest perch Feb 25, 2020, 8:24 PM

#

@slender thistle would i put this ${bot.users} into the status?

slender thistle Feb 25, 2020, 8:24 PM

#

First, get its size

#

Secondly, yes

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 8:24 PM

#

removedRole = oldMember.roles.find(...)
if(removedRole) { change = Changes.removedRole; }

honest perch Feb 25, 2020, 8:25 PM

#

may i ask how to get its size

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 8:25 PM

#

just add .size to it

dense drift Feb 25, 2020, 8:25 PM

#

         var removedRole = ''
         var addedRole = ''
         
         // check if roles were removed
         removedRole = oldMember.roles.find(r => !newMember.roles.has(r.id))
         if(removedRole) change = Changes.removedRole

         // check if roles were added
         addedRole = newMember.roles.find(r => !oldMember.roles.has(r.id));
         if(addedRole) change = Changes.addedRole```

#

I'll give that a gander

#

Or should I set removedRole and whatnot to null first?

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 8:25 PM

#

yes, maybe add an if else if you dont want both changes, but most likely 2 role updates will never happen at once

dense drift Feb 25, 2020, 8:26 PM

#

Okay 🙂

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 8:26 PM

#

no need to be null

#

no need to be a string either

#

it can be just var removedRole;

dense drift Feb 25, 2020, 8:26 PM

#

Ahh, good point

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 8:26 PM

#

also, maybe consider moving from var to const/let

#

its more modern and consistent

dense drift Feb 25, 2020, 8:27 PM

#

Okay

#

Any reason to use any over the others? I kind of use them all in my code.

just have a spazz out then works

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 8:29 PM

#

let and const have a few differences, one of them is that they are strictly locked to the current scope, while var can bleed outside the scope.
another difference is that const will not let you change it after its defined, so its good for not accidentally modifying some data that should not be modified, while let will not let you create another variable with the same name, to prevent you from accidentally overwriting it

dense drift Feb 25, 2020, 8:29 PM

#

Neat!

Thanks for that, I never could figure out the differences.

The high ram usage seems to be because of amazon related stuff, mysql and ubuntu. The reason it was displaying 300mb was because that reading was an average taken over a couple of seconds. I shall leave you to help everyone else now xd

Can someone explain how watching for votes works in JS?

My current script is...

dbl.webhook.on('vote', async vote => {
    console.log(`User <@${vote.user}> (${vote.user}) just voted!`);
    let a = await client.voted.get(vote.user)
    if(!a) {await client.voted.set(vote.user, '1')}
    else{
        let b = +a + 1
        await client.voted.set(vote.user, b)
    }
    await client.guilds.get('665790892539510804').channels.get('676434014759813150')
    .send({embed: {
      color: 0x0099ff,
      title: `New Vote!`,
      url: 'https://top.gg/bot/665786935251304468/vote',
      author: {
          name: 'FrogBot',
          icon_url: `${client.user.displayAvatarURL}`,
          url: `${client.user.displayAvatarURL}`,
      },
      fields: [
          {
              name: 'User',
              value: `<@${vote.user}> (${vote.user})`,
          },
          {
              name: 'User Vote Count',
              value: `${client.voted.get(vote.user)}`,
          },
          {
              name: 'Total Bot Vote Count',
              value: `${dbl.getstats('665786935251304468').points}`,
          },
      ],
    }})
});```

The bot doesn't even respond when someone votes. I'm fairly certain I'm logging in correctly because if I do...

```js
await dbl.hasVoted(msg.author.id).then(async voted => {
            if (!voted) return```

That check works just fine.

earnest phoenix Feb 25, 2020, 8:48 PM

#

well

#

are you running the webhook webserver

#

and did you put the correct ip and port on dbl's website

#

webhooks are reverse APIs, instead of you making a request to the API, the API instead makes a request to you

dense drift Feb 25, 2020, 8:50 PM

#

const DBL = require('dblapi.js');
const dbl = new DBL("TOKEN", { webhookPort: 5000, webhookAuth: 'PASSWORD' });

#

I have that in my code as well.

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 8:50 PM

#

you dont need to put await everywhere

#

.get and .set are not promises nor async functions

dense drift Feb 25, 2020, 8:51 PM

#

I started throwing that in because I wasn't sure why it wasn't seeing it. 😛

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 8:52 PM

does the console log User just voted?

dense drift Feb 25, 2020, 8:52 PM

#

No

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 8:52 PM

then your webhook settings are wrong

Okay, how should I go about fixing it?

#

for example, google compute engine requires you to open ports in their control panel

#

check the ovh admin panel

dense drift Feb 25, 2020, 8:56 PM

Hmm, I'm trying to figure out where to go lol

#

https://frogmaster.xyz/x94XQdtf

#

Would a menu like this do it?

zenith orchid Feb 25, 2020, 8:59 PM

#

Source ip i think 0.0.0.0/0

dense drift Feb 25, 2020, 9:00 PM

#

It doesn't like that 😛

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 9:00 PM

#

the docs say ip is optional

#

try leaving blank

dense drift Feb 25, 2020, 9:01 PM

#

Okay

#

Protocol?

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 9:01 PM

#

tcp

dense drift Feb 25, 2020, 9:01 PM

#

Okay

#

https://frogmaster.xyz/XluznuOK

#

New options

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 9:01 PM

#

ports 5000 in both

dense drift Feb 25, 2020, 9:02 PM

#

https://frogmaster.xyz/TOD4R9Jz

#

Okay, I'll give it a gander

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 9:02 PM

#

yeah that should do it

dense drift Feb 25, 2020, 9:02 PM

#

Now how do I test that? Should I restart my bot, and try voting? Or would the 'test' work?

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 9:03 PM

#

the test should work

dense drift Feb 25, 2020, 9:03 PM

#

Okie dokie

#

https://frogmaster.xyz/Xl0gy2qS

#

I assume that's okay?

#

The test isn't doing anything.

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

blissful scaffold Feb 25, 2020, 9:05 PM

#

the 0's are ok

#

it means that it is listening on every IP address that the server has

dense drift Feb 25, 2020, 9:06 PM

#

Ah, I didn't know that. Thanks!

#

Hmm, it's odd that nothing comes through

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 9:08 PM

#

try this as well

#

sudo ufw enable
sudo ufw allow 5000

dense drift Feb 25, 2020, 9:09 PM

#

ufw isn't a command

#

...could that be an issue? lol

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 9:10 PM

#

hmm

dense drift Feb 25, 2020, 9:10 PM

#

I'm running Debian if that helps.

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 9:11 PM

#

if ufw is not pre-installed, then all ports should be opened by default

#

not sure about debian

dense drift Feb 25, 2020, 9:12 PM

#

Maybe I'm doing something wrong with signing in then? However the check for if a user has voted works fine...

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 9:12 PM

#

yeah because the check is a post request

#

its outgoing

#

you could try setting up a simple webserver and see if you can open it in your browser

dense drift Feb 25, 2020, 9:13 PM

#

I'm hosting my website on the VPS.

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 9:13 PM

is your website running on express?

dense drift Feb 25, 2020, 9:13 PM

#

I don't think so.

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 9:14 PM

#

how are you running your website?

#

on which server platform

dense drift Feb 25, 2020, 9:14 PM

#

uhhhh

#

lol

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 9:14 PM

#

nginx apache node.js

#

litespeed

dense drift Feb 25, 2020, 9:14 PM

#

I know I'm using apache2

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 9:15 PM

#

ok, so one thing you could do is set up a reverse proxy

dense drift Feb 25, 2020, 9:15 PM

#

https://linuxhostsupport.com/blog/how-to-host-a-website-on-vps/

#

I know I followed that one if that helps.

#

A reverse proxy?

configuring-reverse-proxy-for-node-using-apache-mod-proxy

Requirement of running node applications on privileged ports like 80, 443 starts emerging up with time. Apache mod_proxy came up with solution to this.

#

basically the idea is

#

to create a second configuration in your website's config file, and apply it for a subdomain for example

#

ie: votes.mywebsite.xyz

#

and in that configuration, use the proxyPass options as above

#

the proxy should point to 127.0.0.1:5000

#

which is a localhost address

#

so votes.mywebsite.com gets internally redirected to localhost:5000 which is where your webhook is running

#

then in the webhook config in top.gg you can use http://votes.mywebsite.xyz/dblwebhook

#

i dont use apache so i dont have much experience with it, but you should be able to find solutions and guides

vagrant tree Feb 25, 2020, 9:23 PM

#

what is the best way to keep information about specific users e.g. if they select something in your bot, maintain that information for subsequent commands?

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 9:23 PM

#

if you need it to last through bot restarts and crashes, a database

#

else, an object/array/map/collection in your code

dense drift Feb 25, 2020, 9:24 PM

#

Okay, thanks Tim, I'll give it a try

vagrant tree Feb 25, 2020, 9:26 PM

#

thanks

#

to keep track of a specific users info is it best to use message.author? then compare that to every new command to see if the author is there?

honest perch Feb 25, 2020, 9:37 PM

#

so i managed to get a prefix cmd working but when trying to make the embed to show the new prefix it says this

📎 unknown.png

#

this is the code .setDescription('Set to ${args[0]}');

summer torrent Feb 25, 2020, 9:40 PM

#

replace ' with `

honest perch Feb 25, 2020, 9:41 PM

#

Thank you

dense drift Feb 25, 2020, 9:55 PM

#

Hey @quartz kindle, I think I broke it all. You wouldn't know how to undo the proxy would you?

static trench Feb 25, 2020, 9:56 PM

#

If I am trying to get a good bot to google and message the answer, what would the python code be?

topaz fjord Feb 25, 2020, 9:56 PM

#

iptables > ufw

static trench Feb 25, 2020, 9:56 PM

#

Wdum?

#

What does that do?!

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 10:00 PM

#

@dense drift just remove the lines you added

dense drift Feb 25, 2020, 10:00 PM

#

I have, it's not working.

#

😦

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 10:01 PM

#

did you change anything else?

#

you might need to restart apache as well

dense drift Feb 25, 2020, 10:01 PM

#

I ran sudo iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3000, but then I did sudo iptables -t nat -D PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3000

#

It restarts just fine, I just can't get to the site anymore.

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 10:01 PM

#

oh you did it through iptables

dense drift Feb 25, 2020, 10:01 PM

#

Well

#

Not originally

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 10:01 PM

#

so you didnt change anything in your apache config?

dense drift Feb 25, 2020, 10:01 PM

#

I did

#

However I put it back and rebooted apache

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 10:02 PM

#

you basically added an iptables rule to redirect ALL traffic from port 80 to 3000

#

which includes requests to your website

dense drift Feb 25, 2020, 10:02 PM

#

Right, however -D should've removed that

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 10:04 PM

#

yeah it should

modest maple Feb 25, 2020, 10:04 PM

#

Has anyone got any previous Experience with Datomic Databases?

quartz kindle Feb 25, 2020, 10:05 PM

#

@dense drift run this sudo iptables -t nat -v -L PREROUTING -n --line-number

#

post the result

dense drift Feb 25, 2020, 10:06 PM

holy

#

thank you

#

I was so worried lol

a pain in the arse

how its meant to work is: ``` ?command select A <options 1-10 A embed shown> 10 <show option 10>

how its meant to work is: ```
?command select A
<options 1-10 A embed shown>
10
<show option 10>
