it has the token in it
#development
static trench
i regened
smoky quartz
ah ok then
static trench
i have new token
static trench
ok! i got less errors from the quickstart site
earnest phoenix
I load it in from environment
smoky quartz
my token is in another file
it loads it in on boot
saves me being an idiot and sharing it
static trench
smoky quartz
i still need to work out webhooks so i can set up voting and some donation rewards
static trench
thats whats happening?
earnest phoenix
Invalid syntax.
static trench
crap... i leaked my token
earnest phoenix
Read the error.
smoky quartz
and ur gonna need to reset token again
static trench
how do i fix the syntax?
smoky quartz
they shouldnt be on the same line
static trench
huh?
earnest phoenix
Start with en empty code before you stick in a tutorial bot. Btw
static trench
there is half a million errors
earnest phoenix
@static trench do you have any python experience at all?
static trench
a little
smoky quartz
how much
static trench
i did python in school before new years
earnest phoenix
Also. Delete al of it. Then paste in a starter bot.
earnest phoenix
You have 2 bots in that file.
smoky quartz
because you should be able to fix syntax errors
earnest phoenix
I'd highly recommend a python tutorial
earnest phoenix
Before you get into bot making
You can't do much if you don't know how to use your tools
static trench
where can i get a bot to throw into pycharm jsut to feel good about myself?
smoky quartz
fr if you cant fix syntax you wont be able to get a bot done in a reasonable amount of time
static trench
i remmeber seeing one on github
smoky quartz
smh script kiddie
earnest phoenix
@static trench that quickstart bot I sent
static trench
huh?
earnest phoenix
As long as it's the only thing in the file
static trench
from discord.ext import commands
import logging
import discord
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.WARN)
def get_prefix(bot, message):
prefixes = ['%','>']
if not message.guild:
return '%'
return commands.when_mentioned_or(*prefixes)(bot,message)
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=get_prefix)
@bot.event
async def on_ready():
print("Bot ready!")
@bot.event
async def on_message(message: discord.Message):
if message.author.bot:
return
if message.content == "hello":
await message.channel.send("hi")
await bot.process_commands(message)
bot.run("token")
that?
earnest phoenix
That should work yes.
smoky quartz
how didnt it
static trench
there was a ton of errors!
smoky quartz
like
static trench
its still offline
earnest phoenix
It's probs one error and a stack trace btw
static trench
i put in the token
earnest phoenix
Imma hop on my laptop. This is wiwrd.
static trench
ok
earnest phoenix
I see zero reason why that doesn't work
earnest phoenix
The heck wym
smoky quartz
inb4 he hasnt even downloaded the lib or something
earnest phoenix
2 secs
static trench
i have to go . thanks 4 ur help! @earnest phoenix i will learn python and try again .
if you get it to work . feel free to DM me
earnest phoenix
i mean
https://github.com/crazygmr101/AnsuraBot/blob/master/main.py this is the original file
and it works fine
static trench
ok
earnest phoenix
so i am very confused, unless @smoky quartz you have any idea?
smoky quartz
only error i get is yelling at me cos i dont have pynacl
static trench
i cant put my token in the one from github
static trench
yes
static trench
i cant imput my token antwhere
earnest phoenix
if you're talking about the one i sent, it goes there
or just change os.env(wqerthjgkh) to yours
static trench
i probably havnt installed python right . i have to go . i will try to figure it out! thanks for your help
static trench
thx
pine bear
Ahem, sorry for repeating myself but . . .
It says error for some reason
(node:2712) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: An invalid token was provided.
When I put the token in the config.json file that happened, it also said this along with the warn code.
(node:2712) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection. This error originated either by throwing inside of an async function without a catch block, or by rejecting a promise which was not handled with .catch(). To terminate the node process on unhandled promise rejection, use the CLI flag `--unhandled-rejections=strict` (see https://nodejs.org/api/cli.html#cli_unhandled_rejections_mode). (rejection id: 3)
(node:2712) [DEP0018] DeprecationWarning: Unhandled promise rejections are deprecated. In the future, promise rejections that are not handled will terminate the Node.js process with a non-zero exit code.
here is the code again
const Discord = require('discord.js');
const { prefix, token } = ('./config.json');
const client = new Discord.Client();
client.once('ready', () => {
console.log('Bot is now online!');
})
client.login(token);
hoary elm
Reset your token and add it again
low wasp
@pine bear try regenerating the token, if you are also uploading to GitHub don't upload the token as it will get auto regenerated
hoary elm
Well could use a .gitignore to ignore the file with the token in it on upload but yeah that too
pine bear
so I have to regenerate the token and replace the token but the token works
it's from the config file also if I replace the "token" in client.login(token) with the original token the bot comes online.
hoary elm
@pine bear so then it's having a problem reading it from the config try something like this
const config = require('./pathToFile');
const Prefix = config.prefix;
const token = config.token
do console.log(token) once
hoary elm
Should allow you to call it VIA token
pine bear
That's the exact thing I did
sudden geyser
I mean, you never actually called the require function.
pine bear
Damn,
hoary elm
^^ that to
low wasp
We dumb
earnest phoenix
that would explain it
pine bear
I'll separate them thank you
pine bear
uhh?
low wasp
const { prefix, token } = require('./config.json')
Not
const { prefix, token } = ('./config.json')
sudden geyser
you're trying to get the properties from a string, which obviously does not exist
hoary elm
@pine bearalso make sure when you do the path to the file you do const name = require('path') you forgot the require
pine bear
Ok thank you for the help

What do yall do for showing the uptime of your bot?
I have a boottime variable that gets set when everything is initialized, but discord.js client also has an 'uptime' variable thats based on when the bot client entered the 'ready' state in ms. Which one would you show? or both?
amber fractal
the uptime is probably more accurate
well
It probably wouldnt matter
I'd just use uptime because it's already there
I dont know a whole lot about python
but wtf are these https://oliy.is-just-a.dev/qf1gl5_2938.png
try player != "rock" or player != "paper" or etc
or you could player not in ["rock", "paper", "scissors"] as well
neat ingot
uptime really isnt accurate though
it shows my server rebooted 24 minutes ago
but it didnt, there was no issue whatsoever
not even a lagg
amber fractal
then use and if it's not equal to any
so that was mb
player != "rock" and player != "paper" and player != "scissors"
bitter lark
my bot wont show its status, whats the correct code?
lemme send
i cant even find it now
i didnt save it
whats the correct code? and btw im using discord.js

How do you grow servers better?

Have a good bot?
pine bear
Lmao, I started to add commands into the bot

would this be right?

or:
len(server.members)
can someone help?

May help if you provide what language

ok thank you
stable horizon

earnest phoenix
oh?
stable horizon
I have a tag for this
Python is an OOP (Object Oriented Programming) language...it uses the concepts of objects to house information about things. The most important thing to understand is the difference between a Class and an instance .
A Class defines what an instance of said class will look like, and an instance is an object created based on that class. An example would be a Class of Fruit....an instance of this class could be apple.
An example seen in discord.py is this:
discord.Guild.id
This id attribute is an attribute of the class Guild....This means to use it you must have an instance of the discord.Guild class. This can be obtained in a number of ways, through a message: message.guild through searching by id client.get_guild(id) etc.
TL;DR: OOP is a very base concept of python, if you do not understand OOP then learn this first before creating a bot.
(Yes, static methods and classmethods exist....this is only detailing the basic class/instance interaction)
earnest phoenix
you dont
iirc
TypeError: object of type 'property' has no len()
whats the line of code
that is an error
ik
send code
server = discord.Guild
embed.add_field(name='No. of server members: ', value=f"`{(len(server.member_count))}`", inline=False)
guild.member_count
no len
amber fractal
an int doesnt have a length
earnest phoenix
oh?
ye
value=f"`{guild.member_count}`"
wouldnt it be server though?
nope
since: server = discord.Guild
no
discord.Guild is a CLASS
right
amber fractal
you'll want to get the current guild (if it's a command, prob ctx.guild)
earnest phoenix
ye
embed.add_field(name='No. of server members: ', value=f"`{ctx.guild.member_count}`", inline=False)
ooo
i never thought of that
also in python, to say a var is a type, you do this:
a: int = 4
b: discord.Guild = ctx.guild
etc
but ye follow @stable horizon's advice and learn how OOP works before you get into that
stable horizon
earnest phoenix
um
stable horizon
lol
earnest phoenix
literally the message above you xD
what if: TypeError: 'property' object is not iterable
slender thistle
Type annotations don't do anything in Python though?
slender thistle
Yeaeh
copper cradle
didn't know you could declare static type vars in python
slender thistle
So tecnically s: Guild = message.guild is redundant
stable horizon
its for those people
stable horizon
or the people who have stupid partners in a collab
"hey ffs this isnt supposed to be a bool"
earnest phoenix
but @slender thistle is helps with autocomplete

Alright, so I'm using a node.js library named sharp by lovell, and I'm trying to create a donation "goal" thing.
So I want there to be my input of how much I've raised, and I want the green bar to go to that value on the thermometer, here's my current code:
var raised = parseInt(args[0])
sharp("./data/greenbar.png")
.extract({top:0, left:0, width:20, height:Math.floor((55000-raised)/100)+100})
.resize(367,733)
.composite([{
input:"./data/goal.png",
}])
.toFile("./data/flush_GOAL.png").then(() =>{
msg.channel.send({
files: ["./data/flush_GOAL.png"]
});
})
Currently, the command outputs https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/623707775356370954/682444749902577673/flush_GOAL.png
everytime, no matter the raised

how do you remove a single complex array object?
for example my array is like this:
[{
name: "Fiqstro",
age: 14,
nationality: "Vietnam"
},
{
name: "Eshi",
age: 14,
nationality: "Vietnam"
}]
how do i remove the first one using enmap
neat ingot
my bot got approved sooner than i was anticipating. what should i do now? just setup the api and stuff to update guild and player counters? setup voting and such?
lethal stratus
set it up so it does what you want it to do!
It's not like it being accepted means you are not allowed to test and edit it!
earnest phoenix
Or maybe they were looking for ideas..?
lethal stratus
Ah
Well, in that case, im going to be asking a similar question. What are any thoughts on what to add to my bot?
( @tawdry glen )
neat ingot
it already did what i wanted before i applied 😄
lethal stratus
ah
neat ingot
I was going to change the markdown description for an iframe to show my bot information from my site. but the preview thing isnt showing the iframe content. Should i test publish the edit and keep all markdown and make sure that the iframe shows before i remove the markdown? or should the preview page show the iframe?
lethal stratus
maybe do it locally
I have my bot's description written specifically for the top.gg site
(if you look here)
-botinfo @tawdry glen
gilded plank
lethal stratus
Oh there is no link to the site
hoary elm
The Bot page link? Click the name 😏
neat ingot
do it locally? how can i test that topgg will show my iframe properly locally? 😄
quartz kindle
just publish and then edit
save a backup of your current setup so you can always go back to it if it doesnt work
but the iframe should work, check your console log to see if there is any error in the iframe
its possible that is being blocked by cors
neat ingot
yea i was checking my sites log, it showed that the page was being contacted fine. i'll just backup the markdown and test the edit i guess 😄
quartz kindle
check the browser console.log when you load the page that has the iframe
flat pelican
Firstly, wrong channel
hollow sequoia
Sorry
flat pelican
Secondly, you can resubmit your bot if you removed your command
hollow sequoia
How?

Any ideas on how to reduce loading times when I reboot the bot, or do I have to live with the slowness of my old pi?
earnest phoenix
what do you exactly do when rebooting?
create a new process and kill the old one?
quartz kindle
what part of the loading takes the most time?
from process start until the ready event?
lethal stratus
Sorry didn't see this
I am using systemd to do the rebooting
But even just running the program alone from node takes a long time
quartz kindle
when a bot logs in, it does the following:
connect to discord
receive list of guild ids
confirm reception
begin downloading all guilds one by one <-- this is what takes the longest time
when finished, fire the ready event
lethal stratus
Ah
quartz kindle
if your bot is sharded, add 5 seconds delay between each connection
lethal stratus
I feel it's dependent on my internet speed, which is very slow.
Also I won't be needing shards, as the bot won't ever be in 2.5k servers
quartz kindle
there is one easy thing you can do to improve start up time, which is reduce the large_threshold value
quartz kindle
by default, Discord considers a guild large when it has over 250 members
a large guild will not contain a full member list when downloaded
making it a much smaller download
the minimum value this setting can have is 50
lethal stratus
large_threshold -1
quartz kindle
so if you set it to 50, all guilds with more than 50 members will not have their entire member list downloaded by default
which will reduce the time it takes to download all guilds
quartz kindle
this is a websocket option when connecting to discord, depends where your library put this setting
lethal stratus
I use discord.js
quartz kindle
new Client({
ws: {
large_threshold: 50
}
})```Thanks
quartz kindle
it is also possible to hack the library into firing the ready event before downloading all guilds, but this is a very advanced thing and will possibly break things lol
lethal stratus
K
I asked this becuase I see people using webhosts and stuff retarding their bots in seconds
Then I'm waiting out 5m+ for me to be able to see if my changes worked
Lol
quartz kindle
client.on("raw",console.log) and check your console when you fire the bot
you will see the guilds being downloaded
lethal stratus
K
lethal stratus
If this is a clue, I have a startup sequence in console that does stuff as it's booting
quartz kindle
but if it takes a long time before the guilds start coming, then the problem is elsewhere
lethal stratus
And it takes ages before it's even triggered
lethal stratus
Also the bot maxes out the CPU and memory.
quartz kindle
client.on("raw",r => console.log(r.t))
to log only the packet type, not the full object
lethal stratus
I use bot instead of client becuase tbh it makes more sense
quartz kindle
sure
lethal stratus
time to ssh again on my phone then use nano
quartz kindle
lmao
lethal stratus
I think I'm getting used to this sad way of editing
quartz kindle
very sad indeed
lethal stratus
Because I honestly am too lazy to get up to my computer and open visual studio code
quartz kindle
jesus christ
using ssh and nano on your phone will take 5x longer than booting your pc and opening vsc

just spent the past hour making a nice page to embed as my long description iframe. Totally took inspiration from pokecords iframe 😄

the entire internet is built on people stealing ideas from each other

btw yea it was x-frame permissions from my nginx that was stopping the iframe earlier ~ i nub with nginx 😄

ah yes theres also that
earnest phoenix
for (let i = 0; i < Math.min(message.guild['player'].queue.length, 10); i++) {
const embed = new MessageEmbed()
.setColor('#ff003c')
.setTitle(`${message.guild.name} Music Queue (First 10)`)
.setAuthor(message.client.user.username, message.client.user.displayAvatarURL())
.setDescription(`Title: ${message.guild['player'].queue[i].title}`)
.setTimestamp();
return message.sendEmbed(embed).catch(err => this.client.emit('log', err, 'error'));
``` My queue command is not working there is 3 songs in songs and it shows only 1i had set it all to SAMEORIGIN for basic security and totally forgot about it 😄
1 - you should remove that math.min from the for loop and set a variable before the for
as during each iteration its doing the math min calc
and you dont seem to be reducing the length any during the loop
earnest phoenix
for (let i = 0; i < message.guild['player'].queue.length + 10; i++) {
neat ingot
const max_length = Math.min(message.guild['player'].queue.length, 10);

something like that 🙂but i guess thats just imo 😄
earnest phoenix
hmm
quartz kindle
microoptimizations
earnest phoenix
Thanks
neat ingot
yea, but also better for readabilities
quartz kindle
@earnest phoenix it shows only one because you are returning
neat ingot
oohh i hadnt even noticed the question lmao
earnest phoenix
hmm
quartz kindle
also, you cant send 10 messages at once
the limit is 5 per 5 seconds
you should not be sending one message per song
neat ingot
you could do some kind of await wait(timems) in between each msg sending
quartz kindle
you are trying to
neat ingot
assuming you have a promize wait func
earnest phoenix
quartz kindle
you're building a loop that loops at most 10 times, and for each time, it sends one message with one embed. if you have 10 songs it will send 10 messages
earnest phoenix
Oh! But I don't want to send 10 messages I just want to print 10 songs in one embed
quartz kindle
then you need to define the embed outside of the loop, then build it, then send after the loop finishes
like this
let embed = new Embed()
.setTitle()
.setFooter()
.etc()
for(...) {
embed.addField(song)
}
send(embed)```or if you want to use description instead of fields:
let description = ""
for(...) {
description += "something"
}
embed.setDescription(description)```ok I understood that but the loop?
quartz kindle
the loop you are doing is correct, you just need to create the embed before you start the loop, and send the message after the loop block
you only use the loop to build the embed parts
earnest phoenix
ok
neat ingot
const cuser = message.client.user;
const queue = message.guild['player'].queue;
const limit = Math.min(queue.length, 10);
const embed = new MessageEmbed();
embed.setColor('#ff003c');
embed.setTitle(`${message.guild.name} Music Queue (First 10)`);
embed.setAuthor(cuser.username, cuser.displayAvatarURL());
const tracks = [];
for (let i = 0; i < limit; i++) {
tracks.push(`Title: ${queue[i].title}`);
}
embed.setDescription(tracks.join('\n'));
embed.setTimestamp();
message.sendEmbed(embed).catch(err => {
this.client.emit('log', err, 'error')
});```i'd go with soemthing like that
earnest phoenix
okay let me try this
earnest phoenix
lol
neat ingot
also, idk there was a 'sendEmbed' function on the message object
i normally just do like, message.channel.send()
earnest phoenix
No, I use Klasa

ahhh ok, fair enough 😄

The code is working but one problem it plays current playing song but no problem I'll fix that

would anyone here pls help me figure out what to make a bot about?
I'm making a second bot because my first one is.... Something
And I want to make a more specialised and useful one

usually you'd go the idea -> bot way, not the bot -> idea way lol

@lethal stratus don't make a bot just to make a bot lmao
- idea -> plan -> create botum
i wanna create botum -> steal idea -> create botum
lethal stratus
I haven't made the bot yet
lethal stratus
I don't have a problem tho

problem: discord needs more foot balls
solution: make bot that posts images of beautiful foot balls
lethal stratus
I made the first one for the sake of existing

count how many times people say all variations of "lol"

freelance: get paid to make a bot for nub
quartz kindle
we already have owo/uwu bots, do we have lol bots?

you don't have to be a specific age to freelance
lethal stratus

This is the next step
XD
you don't have to be a specific age to freelance
Hmm.... But where would I find people who need bots?
spare goblet
errr the first time i created a custom bot for someone was just from a random server i was interacting in
earnest phoenix
i can make free main purpose bots
lethal stratus
I mean, I made a bot for a friend that managed and sorted art requests since they did art
I didn't charge or something tho
spare goblet
i mean if you dont wanna charge then don't
quartz kindle
the problem is, you will find people willing to pay a few bucks to get a bot made for them, but as you get better, you increase your prices, and you stop getting work
people nobody wants to pay
lmao
neat ingot
could check some sites like fiver or something for freelancing 🙂
and charge more than a buck ffs lol
spare goblet
fiverr sucks for that btw, do not recommend
lethal stratus
1$ for like 3 10h days seems about right
spare goblet
^
spare goblet
And a lot of people looking for custom bots don't really care about quality code
it just needs to work
lethal stratus
But would they be hosting it tho
spare goblet
so they'd rather hire a kid who can't code for crap for 3 dollars ig
usually there's a prerequisite letting them know and helping them set it up on a server or sumn
quartz kindle
hello, i bought a bot, how do i turn it on?
lethal stratus
Haha
spare goblet
lmao
quartz kindle
how to make bot 24/7
lethal stratus
I mean if it was my bot the answer would be node and systemd
I think web tutorials have done a good job in failing to give the information to everyone that they need
By that I mean they all tell you how to make a bot respond to like "hello"
And nothing else
quartz kindle
tutorials succeeded in giving people misleading information and teaching them bad practices and opinionated coding
lethal stratus
It's like the opposite of unity, rather than everyone having easy access, therefore a lot of crap, it's more filtered to the people who persevere and actually know what they are doing to a degree
spare goblet
I think it gives you enough information to weed out the lazy people who just don't wanna spend effort in learning
Because in the end a lot of people do learn from the internet just from googling, even if the resources could be misleading
quartz kindle
the discord coding community expects people to have a basic knowledge of programming
lethal stratus
yep
quartz kindle
and as such, fails to teach them basic programming
lethal stratus
Know what's funny
quartz kindle
but its understandable, they cant be arsed with it
lethal stratus
Originally when I was getting started on my bot
I followed one that had me using bloody discord.io
quartz kindle
many people do lmao
lethal stratus
And it was very far in when it was all outdated and nothing worked
That I realised I had to recode large chunks
spare goblet
I don't blame them ? it's hard to explain over and over again on a daily basis what a string is when the person just wants to learn how to turn bot on
lethal stratus
And persevere through it
quartz kindle
yeah i dont blame them either
lethal stratus
I have to wonder
Why is it even possible to download discord.io anymore
Is it for the super old bots that people cant be bothered to recode?
quartz kindle
the author hasnt bothered to mark the project as deprecated
lethal stratus
I accidentally
Because a crappy tutorial when I was still learning what the heck I was doing
neat ingot
i got annoyed at mee6, google for a node js discord bot api, and discord.js was top of everything, so i went with that 😄

mee6 is really good or
lethal stratus
Discord.js
spare goblet
discord.js has slight memory leaks all over it and caching issues
other than that it's fine
lethal stratus
It's the only one I know how to use
glass crag
@spare goblet ive noticed those leaks... quite irritating
spare goblet
Ideally if you know js, you should be able to work with other libs, like Eris
but Eris is a bit strange
neat ingot
where does it leak from?
spare goblet
many different things
You have to basically cut open the lib, break everything, disable everything, just to have a normal sized ram
lethal stratus
could this be why memory use is always 100% with it open, or is that just cos I have the world's slowest raspberry pi
spare goblet
cpu is probably not discord js issue
I've never had cpu issues other than me frickin around too much and doin inefficient functions :^)
glass crag
@spare goblet is there a topgg dummy-api so that my discord dev token bot doesnt report server counts to topgg?
glass crag
My bot just got approved and I was thinking of integrating the server install counts etc
ye probably autopost
spare goblet
if you're using master it doesn't work
if you're using discord js stable it'll be fine
spare goblet
And if you don't attach the client to the constructor it'll be fine even on master ig 
quartz kindle
its not memory leaks, its their aggressive caching nature
they cache EVERYTHING, in order to avoid hitting the api as much as possible
spare goblet
well ye
quartz kindle
the problem is that the caching is too tightly coupled with the core of the library
they have discussed this in the past, but decided it would be unfeasable to rewrite it
but yeah, we have to hack it open ourselves to fix it
i made a library for that lol
ideally, there should be a core library for discord api, something that only processes gateway packets and handles rest requests, and nothing else
discord.js does have cpu issues, but not caused by the library itself, they are caused by the discord api flooding your machine with presence updates
the new intents system fixes that
neat ingot
yea, i broke my bot cause of presences
but that was cause i was iterating over 40k users per second and trying to store presence data...
that feature was imemdiately removed
lol
sad thing was, my bots initial purpose was to track my own activity each day, to see what apps i was in the most etc
quartz kindle
lol interesting
glass crag
im getting a 400 Bad Request when trying to use the dblapi.js-lib? Using the topgg-provided token..
quartz kindle
are you on discord.js v12?
glass crag
ye
quartz kindle
@lethal stratus btw, if you google "how to make a discord bot", the first link, from digital trends, uses discord.io
@glass crag dblapi.js was not updated for the latest v12 changes
glass crag
Ah alright
quartz kindle
you have to remove the client from the constructor to disable autoposting
then you can do dbl.postStats(client.guilds.cache.size)
glass crag
thanks man
quartz kindle
v12 moved all caches to a .cache property
quartz kindle
i post once per day
glass crag
Sounds reasonable
quartz kindle
i dont care how accurate the count is in the website
dblapi's default is 30 minutes i think
some people do it on every guildCreate/guildDelete event lol
glass crag
hahah thats a bit hardcore
quartz kindle
yeah, its mostly small bots lul, "oh hey we have a new guild, we must update immediately"
earnest phoenix
everyone must know!!
glass crag
😄
the bots should post to every guild installed at to let them know the new guild count!!
quartz kindle

scenic kelp
What is the intended output of your queue command and what is the actual output
earnest phoenix
There is no output
scenic kelp
i'm assuming you want to send an embed
late hill
if the condition in there is true
scenic kelp
you use message.sendEmbed
late hill
you'll have no output because all you do is set the description
so that's likely the issue
scenic kelp
I'm pretty sure you want message.channel.send(embed)
broken jay
Which is better for discord.py bot + django api hosting: Kubernetes or Docker?
scenic kelp
send embed is deprecated too
scenic kelp
@broken jay what
earnest phoenix
Fixed
scenic kelp
you use k8s to manage docker
if you are hosting a bot
you can run it without docker or k8s
broken jay
What?
scenic kelp
k8s is container orchestration
earnest phoenix
I putted } in wrong place
broken jay
I don't want standard VPS
broken jay
I want docker/kubernetes + managed DB
DigitalOcean have Kubernetes service, AWS have Docker service
scenic kelp
if you're deciding which one to use there's probably not many people here that are gonna be able to answer that for you

Just asking one question
earnest phoenix
Anyone know how to make a captcha?
quartz kindle
for when people join a guild?
earnest phoenix
Yes
quartz kindle
should be possible yes
earnest phoenix
Anti raid
quartz kindle
mine is made with javascript
quartz kindle
you should be able to do it with whatever graphic drawing library there is for python
some sort of canvas for example
slender thistle
Pillow, PIL
quartz kindle
you'll create a random string, save somewhere and draw it on an image, then check if the user's messages match the saved string
you'll probably need a database to keep track of things
earnest phoenix
Lol that is not what I meant
quartz kindle
then what do you mean?
earnest phoenix
quartz kindle
cant a bot just read that?
slender thistle
Easily possible
quartz kindle
well, it might be able to stop generic spam bots, but anyone could easily make their spam bots copy and paste the captcha
using an image will make it harder for them to do it, they'd need OCR, and even then it might often fail
for example, mine looks like this
lone night
could i add a html file to my bot that displays the sqlite database it has
modest maple
wut
modest maple
Opinions wanted:
Postgresql
or Mongo
or Datomic
which DB would you choose to manage a LARGE Database
slender thistle
PostgreSQL I heard for good performance
late hill
what do you use to generate those @quartz kindle 
quartz kindle
canvas
late hill
with the colors and locations of the characters randomized each time?
quartz kindle
yup
late hill
would it be possible that the lines somehow get in a position where it's rly difficult even for a human to see the characters
i just wanna make sure people don't get screwed over
lol
quartz kindle
yes, its possible
but the lines are thinner than the characters
so unlikely to happen
quartz kindle
you can also use dots or circles instead
quartz kindle
xd
i mean, the chances that someone decides to make their spambots run OCR to break into your server are probably lower than the chances of winning the lottery
but oh well
late hill
well this is for game bot
quartz kindle
i also made mine optionally case sensitive, for some extra fuckery lmao
late hill
works well this way
quartz kindle
and up to 10 chars
late hill
but i'd guess there's probably at least one person that has at least tried ocr
I originally had regular text that was case sensitive and people fucked it up all the time because the font discord uses can be confusing
lol
quartz kindle
most of my problems were from characters being too similar to each other, like lower care L and upper case i
late hill
yeh that
quartz kindle
i had to remove those characters from ever being used
also 0 and O
i use these characters now 123456789abcdefghijkmnpqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZ@#$%&?
quartz kindle
hahahah
earnest phoenix
random thought. is there a way to use decorators in d.py for command help? right now on the cog setup, i just register a command like that.
def setup(bot):
bot.add_cog(Minecraft(bot))
HE.HelpEntries.register("jping", ["%jping server","%jping server:port"], "Pings a java server")
HE.HelpEntries.register("bping", "%bping server port", "Pings a bedrock server")
class HelpEntries:
cmds = []
@classmethod
def register(cls, command, usage, helpmsg, notes="N/A"):
cls.cmds.append(core.help.HelpEntry(command, usage, helpmsg, notes))
#etc
like it'd be nice to keep the help stuff near each command
loaded on cog load
class decorators maybe?
slim heart
So i've been wanting to add the ability to log changes that people make on a servers dashboard. I was wondering what would be the best way to do so? How should i store it and should there be a limit on the amount of logs etc.
delicate zephyr
kinda like audit logs?
i mean
you could always just make it simple
store the action, the person who did it, and the time
late hill
and the server
slim heart
the issue would be though that people make changes to multiple things at once and save. So like it'd be multiple actions, if it was one by one i'd take a similar approach to discord but it's not.
i would be hoping to find the difference between it and store the changes and then it would list those changes in one "log" thing on the dashboard so i know that much. but don't know how to store it / best way
unique nimbus
sql?
late hill
If the only purpose is that people can read it, then the "action" could just be a combination of actions
where's it's all just a string
if you plan to use it for other things such as reversing actions
you'd need to properly set up each action
quartz kindle
maybe also the ability to sort the log by change type
so for example, a table with timestamp, type of change, string describing the changes
and maybe also the author of the changes
if you're using an sql database, you could have all logs from all guilds in a single table, and have them indexed by guild id as well
late hill
As for the limit, I doubt it would become an issue on your end to store it all. You'd probably just want to limit the output, but while doing that you could always have something deleting very old logs
pine bear
Umm?

amber fractal
you define prefix then use config.prefix still
also what's up with that if statement
that wont do anything
amber fractal
yeah but the if statement wont do anything at all anyways
it will evaluate to something then do nothing then it will send ping regardless
The one above it is fine
molten pewter
god i am so happy right now
finally this garbage package was deprecated
maybe we can get actual good bots out of this
amber fractal
how does request have anything to do with the quality of a bot
all it does is make requests
amber fractal
and that's their choice and they will probably use it regardless
molten pewter
many people who make bots with it do not know how to use it properly
as the package is basically noob bait
unique nimbus
It is still a choice
molten pewter
like just use the http/https modules or node-fetch
wicked pivot
how can we make progress graphs, in discord.js?
earnest phoenix
using canvas
amber fractal
And that's an opinion
in my opinion canvas is annoying to work with
https://oliy.is-just-a.dev/gm8cb_2955.png chartjs is easy to work with
in my opinion
earnest phoenix
easy = boring
amber fractal
easy = less time wasted trying to figure out how to draw a line with points
earnest phoenix
simple math
molten pewter
I use gm mostly but am looking for an alternative that still uses imagemagick
quartz kindle
if node.js, look into sharp
solemn mica
please my bot verify patent please
pseudo mesa
what
pine bear
Oh that's why the bot sends ping when the prefix in mentioned.
amber fractal
yes
molten pewter
I would like to move to sharp/libvips but the lack of features compared to *magick kinda sets me off
also no animated gif support
which is why I can’t use canvas either
quartz kindle
it does support gif, no?
well, vips supports writing gifs by importing magick or something apparently, but sharp didnt implement this yet
there's an ongoing PR for it https://github.com/lovell/sharp/pull/2012
requires imagemagick installed

Does anyone know of a bot that can automatically whitelist players into my dayZ server?
quartz kindle
sounds oddly specific, it probably doesnt exist
amber fractal
does dayz even have an api endpoint for that
hoary elm
Yeah you can script for it
open cedar
I’ve seen it on only one server before
@earnest phoenix you have any idea on how to do that?
hoary elm
What you're asking I've seen it but have no idea how to do it sorry. I'm just familiar with scripting
earnest phoenix
?
hoary elm
@earnest phoenix think they meant to tag me lol
open cedar
i did lol
quartz kindle
is it like a private server hosted in your vps?
open cedar
Yes
earnest phoenix
Ah Ok 😂
open cedar
@quartz kindle
quartz kindle
how does the whitelist work, do you have a file that you edit?
amber fractal
That'd be really difficult for someone else to do, you'd probably be better off making it yourself
hoary elm
Run a private server, when people join it grabs their steam hex or something and uses that for whitelist @quartz kindle
quartz kindle
but where is this whitelist stored and how is it accessed?
amber fractal
unless you open your vps to requests and a bot lets makes a request to your server to do that
hoary elm
Usually via a database like SQL
quartz kindle
then a bot could connect to it
could be a bot running on the same machine and access the local db
quartz kindle
well idk what that is, never played dayz either
the point is, you need to know how the internals of the white listing process works
hoary elm
It's an app they have to manage your servers (start, stop ect)
quartz kindle
and program a bot that can access/modify the white list
hoary elm
Yeah I'm sure a whitelist bot is possible I don't see why it's not
I mean I made one for FiveM that can connect to the server, ban players ect from my discord channel but I had to connect it to their API and usually if they allow scripting they will have Docs
slender thistle
In HTML, should I put paragraphs directly under a div that contains all necessary buttons or is it preferred I use separate divs for each one?
earnest phoenix
for each paragraph element?
slender thistle
Yeah
open cedar
What would be the best way to approach trying to set up a “whitelist bot”?
earnest phoenix
Maybe make a single div for all paragraph elements
hoary elm
@open cedar honestly find their docs and their API first
Make sure they allow that and see how it's possible
earnest phoenix
Or at least group paragraphs into certain divs based on where you plan to position them
earnest phoenix
If it's only a single paragraph I wouldn't bother with having an extra div just for that
slender thistle
Also should I worry/bother about paragraph elements with width equal to the window width
open cedar
Nitrado allows for ftp and sql connections and so has direct connect query ports. I'll do some digging and see if I can find what handles the whitelist and how to connect to it.
hoary elm
@open cedar that would be your best bet 😁
earnest phoenix
If you mean the paragraph is taking up the entire width of the visible screen, I'd probably change it up a bit
slender thistle
It's just that I'm not sure if it'll bite me later when the buttons are there
earnest phoenix
why my bot's top.gg page doesn't show my bot's avatar, even though it has been verified
slender thistle
Edit the page and save

Try to just re-save

okey, it works

I'm trying to implement play command on my bot through lavalink, is there any online host for me to connect to or am I supposed to run the service from my own computer?
It's a python function, here is a "placeholder" for it
lavalink.add_node("host", 2333, "youshallnotpass", "eu", "default-node") # host, port, password, region, node
lyric mountain
Doesn't lavalink work with youtube?
Ah, I got what you're saying
You can load a local file on it
You could make a list containing the name of the files, then compare the input name with your list and load it on lavalink

Hey I need some help with the new discord.js version 12 for embeds. I looked at the docs and everything but I keep getting the same errors when ever I try to add fields to embeds
topaz fjord
it would be great if you show the errors
copper cradle
console.log(fields);
then send the output
btw fields.flat() isn't a method of fields
vague kite
Yeah here;s the code
vague kite
ReferenceError: fields is not defined
earnest phoenix
@vague kite you're really in djs v12?
amber fractal
Most people are
topaz fjord
master branch is d.js 12
earnest phoenix
@vague kite i think you can't add multiple fields with addFields addFields doesn't exist no??
topaz fjord
have you tried passing it in as an array of objects @vague kite
amber fractal
addField seems to have been removed
topaz fjord
e.g., [{}, {}, ...]
earnest phoenix
@vague kite delete the last ,
amber fractal
which doesnt make sense but
earnest phoenix
Oh hea have to replace the () with []
topaz fjord
no
.addFields([{}, {}, ...])
also eslint recommends you add the comma after the last element
earnest phoenix
Okay i don't know this i'm on 11.5.1(stable)
topaz fjord
it's not a d.js, it's a node thing
copper cradle
@vague kite well then there's ur answer
fields isn't defined
wait
show where u define 'fields'
like the entire code
vague kite
Ahh okay so it's a node thing kl
Also just tested it using Embed object and it works fine

@vague kite by the way, your C:\Users\name is in the top of the console screenshot.

when i try and sort the lb array it doesn't let me sort the property in the yt property of the array
TypeError: Cannot read property 'likes' of undefined
i'm trying to make a leaderboard command
quartz kindle
show code
earnest phoenix
All i had was this for now (I'm using enmap);
let lb = client.db.fetchEverything().array().sort((a, b) => b.yt.likes = a.yt.likes);
console.log(lb)
you might have entries in your database that do not have a yt property
earnest phoenix
hmh
quartz kindle
you can do .array().filter(t => t.yt).sort(...)
you can also do .array().forEach(t => { if(!t.yt) { console.log(t) } })
to see which ones dont have it
earnest phoenix
lemme try that
flat quiver
How do you access a server?
hoary elm
there shoudld be a Join Support Server button on the bot page

Thanks for the help
hoary elm
Np

@earnest phoenix change the b.yt.likes = a.yt.likes to b.yt.likes - a.yt.likes if you want to sort them from highest to lowest

I've been trying to get a JSON file for like the past 30 minutes to no avail. Would someone be so kind as to tell me how? It's for server settings, so I've tried these:
let settings = require(`./guilds/${message.guild.id}/settings.json`);
``` and
```js
let $ = require("jquery");
$.getJSON(`guilds/${message.guild.id}/settings.json`, function(json) {
settings = json;
});
```Ping with response, please!@floral bloom you are trying to access the contents of a JSON file?
quartz kindle
jquery has nothing to do with json, its a waste to use it
jquery is for navigating the DOM, in browsers
and html operations
quartz kindle
your first attempt should work, provided the file path is correct
floral bloom
you are trying to access the contents of a JSON file?
Yes, I am.
your first attempt should work, provided the file path is correct
It is, though it's weird because I was getting an error (I'll try it again after tryingfs.readFileSync. Thanks, ToxicDev.).
quartz kindle
well, if you're getting an error, you should post the error, else we cant know whats going on
floral bloom
This is the most recent error: $.getJSON() is not a function
quartz kindle
thats because you tried to use jquery lol, remove everything related to jquery
hoary elm
I would go with the first method let settings = and if it errors shows us the error
As Tim said jquery is unrelated to what you are attempting to do
