go through it step by step and see where's the issue
@earnest phoenix you cant ban a person that has a role above your highest

What if I do open eval but without client
earnest phoenix
if they arent in the server they arent bannable..
different library.

What if I do open eval but without client
don't
idk
look it up
there's a 99% chance that your eval in fact wont be sandboxed and someone will find a way to break it
mee6 uses their own private thing iirc

Hey.
let crow = await con.prepare('SELECT * FROM codes');
const { code } = await con.prepare('SELECT code FROM codes');
if(code == args[0]) {
would this work?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
earnest phoenix
then why are you asking if you aren't there lol
lilac wharf
planning future coding I guess...
quartz kindle
@pine aspen that will likely not work
idk which database and library you're using, but prepared statements are not promises and dont do anything by themselves, they must be executed after being prepared
honest perch
how would i make an embed that showed the users username and pfp in an embed, using discord.js
something like this but with the name and pfp
quartz kindle
using discord webhooks
if you mean changing the author's name and pfp
like pretending the bot is someone else
quartz kindle
you mean in the embed footer?
crimson vapor
new Discord.RichEmbed().setAuthor(message.author.avatarURL, message.author.tag) I think
whoops backwards
quartz kindle
yeah
crimson vapor
.setAuthor(message.author.tag, message.author.avatarURL)```ok thank you
earnest phoenix
var server = <Client>.guilds.get("id");
server.name
server.owner.tag
server.iconurl
Etc...
quartz kindle
isnt that privacy breach tho?
pine bear
I'm actually stuck on how the rolling system is going to work.
earnest phoenix
@quartz kindle i think this is allowed, before i have seen a bot who get any users from any serveurs the bot his
quartz kindle
it doesnt mean its allowed just because you seen someone doing it
blissful scaffold
I think it's allowed as long as it can only be used on the server itself
blissful scaffold
You should never leak server data/info to other servers
true ravine
Do most people have loads of then and catch sections of their code because up until now a lot of my commands assume that everything goes smoothly and I'm just getting round to improving stability
true ravine
But say I was doing x code but something went wrong, I'd surely need to use a catch?
slate oyster
Even my new rewrite has some gross code
true ravine
Could be worse
slate oyster
Also my editor mixes hard tabs and soft tabs
earnest phoenix
java itself is gross
slate oyster
No u
true ravine
Damn
If I had an async function and an error occured while running it, could I put a catch on the point I call the function to run some code if it goes wrong?
async function uhoh(){
sadjajlasdk
}
uhoh()
.catch(() => {
console.log("Upsie")
});
Like this
Is that allowed?
quartz kindle
that will work yes
true ravine
Thank you
pine bear
Like if I wanted to add an rp roll system in my bot, how would I make my bot see the number they wanted to roll?
pine bear
Ok, that doesn't clarify much, I'll look into it.
lyric mountain
consider the following:
prefix!roll 20
if we split it by whitespace, we'll get two Strings: prefix!roll and 20
take the second argument and apply a rng on it
Integer.parseInt(20) * Math.random()
then send a message containing the result
pine bear
Ok.
violet obsidian
Thats good for a pre-alpha right? Lol
earnest phoenix
guyys
violet obsidian
I have loads more commands to put in
earnest phoenix
it says that it is locked
violet obsidian
Im not sure
earnest phoenix
'SERVER LOCKED'
violet obsidian
🤔
earnest phoenix
i just asked a mod
violet obsidian
Yeah lol idk
This is my premium version of the bot (better quality commands, embeds, DM tickets etc)
Currently unavailable since im using it as a test bot for now lol
hoary elm
@violet obsidian looks good for a pre-alpha you can always work on it and add more as time goes on.
hoary elm
@unique nimbus wouldnt it be member.username? Or does Python not use that
unique nimbus
It doesn't do it most likely
I always used .name
it might be an aliasis
¯_(ツ)_/¯
hoary elm
Ahh okay wasn't sure. Don't really use python
earnest phoenix
would a say command be NSFW?
summer torrent
no
tight plinth
No
earnest phoenix
ok
but if you let anyone execute that command your bot is probably going to get deleted by discord themselves - users can make it say straight up racist and fucked up stuff
then delete their message and report the bot
tight plinth
Snipe commands exist I guess
earnest phoenix
ok then im not going to do that
tight plinth
Every bot (almost) has a say command, and 99% of the servers have rules against that
earnest phoenix
im for sure not going to do that then
Every bot (almost) has a say command, and 99% of the servers have rules against that
every shitty* one
none of the mainstream bots have one for a reason
nadeko != shitty
nadeko is indeed shitty
kwoth is equivalent to yandev in programming skills
slate oyster
Mine had an echo command
But I deleted it because then when a user writes a message they can delete it
Ofc pings were disabled
but still, deletions didn't register in audit log
earnest phoenix
yeah for that very reason it's best to just not have one
it does more harm than good
slate oyster
Oh
I could add a user id in front
and indent newlines
like I do with chatlinks
Well, I don't yet indent newlines
but same point
earnest phoenix
nadeko is the core bot in my server so

would it be so hard to learn a little bit of OOP
copper cradle
what can you expect
slate oyster
OOP is so much better than procedural
What do you mean?
slate oyster
yea
slate oyster
I remember now
earnest phoenix
people just dont seem to want to learn the basics first and jump in WAY over their head
slate oyster
Ah ok
earnest phoenix
oof my bot has super basic stuff
i can't do anything advanced yet
So?
Just cuz your bot cant do complicated things doesn't make it bad
ionic anchor
Hey someone know how can we get memory and cpu usage of bot
ionic anchor
How use it

there's an image u have to edit
it's the little up arrow

you gotta edit the color
i'll show you how
oh to make it match?
give me a second
yeah

i was gonna do black/blue
so it might fit
slate oyster
I think my computer's clock is off from Discord's
That would explain the numbers I got
As I am definitely subtracting correctly
String ping = String.valueOf(msg.getTimestamp().toEpochMilli()-send);
But then how do I write a ping command?
earnest phoenix
what lib?
slate oyster
Discord4J
earnest phoenix
cuz they'd probs already have a ping
slate oyster
I'm trying to use my computer's time and Discord's time to calculate ping and pong
But I think our clocks are off
I'll see if my lib has a ping thing I missed, but I don't think they do
crimson vapor
if you are running a bot on a computer, it would be normal to have a litle high ping, maybe 2000ms as a max, negatives would not make sense though
slate oyster
This is the more code
I'm not seeing any logic errors far as I can tell
The read underlines is just my IDE not working
it compiles (and runs) fine
crimson vapor
if you hover on the red line it should say whats wrong
slate oyster
It's missing the "Projects and External Dependencies"
Despite refreshing and building with the eclipse plugin applied
So the IDE is not correctly recognizing my argument types - "refers to the missing type"
Anyways though,
I really don't see any errors in my logic
So I dunno why I'm getting negative ping times
Except for clock inconsistencies between Discord and I
slate oyster
rn
earnest phoenix
?
slate oyster
This is my testing device, not production device, though
earnest phoenix
well if you want to see, windows settings, time and language, date and time
then click
slate oyster
After syncing
slate oyster
I pressed sync now
slate oyster
It still gives a negative ping
earnest phoenix
are you doing it backwards?
slate oyster
So should I repost the code snippet?
I would subtract the older time sample from the newer sample
right?
earnest phoenix
ye
slate oyster
cadapter.send(text, msg->{
String pong = String.valueOf(System.currentTimeMillis()-msg.getTimestamp().toEpochMilli());
String ping = String.valueOf(msg.getTimestamp().toEpochMilli()-send);```No
Indentation is bad
slate oyster
Though you can copy+paste
Anyways
If I'm subtracting the older, smaller time from the newer, larger time
It should be positive
Unless our clocks are still out of sync
slate oyster
long send = System.currentTimeMillis();<-older
msg.getTimestamp().toEpochMilli()<-newer
earnest phoenix
ngl, im clueless
slate oyster
I think
it's just not syncing properly
Despite pressing "sync now"
blissful scaffold
You are comparing the system time with the discord time?
blissful scaffold
dont compare the times of 2 different machines, they are never in sync
slate oyster
How do I check the ping then?
Unless I did them across messages, but than that's not really a ping
Or I guess I can just merge my ping and pong times maybe
Though that then shows less information to the user
blissful scaffold
record the start time > send a message > wait till the message is send > record the end time
or use the ping that is build into the api
slate oyster
Yea
That would be merging the ping and pong
There is no ping built into the api
or, if there is, it doesn't seem to be documented
blissful scaffold
what library are you using?
slate oyster
D4J
blissful scaffold
give me a minute
slate oyster
Really
blissful scaffold
client.getResponseTime()
blissful scaffold
2 of my bots also use D4J
slate oyster
How does it calculate that?
blissful scaffold
Discord and the bot sometimes send ping messages to each other to make sure the bot is still alive
And that message contains the ping time
slate oyster
Ah ok
And then how about my pong time?
I assume that is off too
It would be really nice
If my IDE would actually work
blissful scaffold
2nd time is client.getResponseTime()
3rd time is sending a message and checking the send time
slate oyster
Oh I see
I can subtract getResponseTime from time elapsed locally
Right?
To get the pong
quartz kindle
no
blissful scaffold
No, client.getResponseTime() is a 2 way time as far as i know
quartz kindle
there are two latencies to discord: websocket and rest
slate oyster
then x-ping is pong
quartz kindle
websocket latency is the time taken for discord packets to reach your machine. they are recorded by the library, averaged, and saved into the getResponsetime getter
rest latency is the time taken for your machine to send a request to discord and receive a response
slate oyster
So can I just not divide my ping and pong times then?
quartz kindle
rest latency is not recorded by default, you can record it by sending a message and waiting for a response, and measuring time elapsed in between
slate oyster
I was just hoping that I could make ping the amount of time to send a message
And pong the amount of time to recieve
But I guess I can only check the WS ping then ):
blissful scaffold
As far as I know a ping is already a 2 way response time, and not 1 way
But I could be wrong
slate oyster
It would be really cool
If our clocks were in sync
Because then I could have gotten the 1-way time
quartz kindle
yes, but in case of websocket, whose main function is receiving packets from discord, it is safe to say its ping is the amount of time taken for discord to reach you
earnest phoenix
@earnest phoenix I sent you the theme template and instructions for how to edit it.
blissful scaffold
if you want the 1 way time then take half of the time, usually packets will take roughly the same route
blissful scaffold
but if you take the 1 way time it's not a valid ping time
quartz kindle
one-way time is impossible to get, you can only estimate it like spirit said
slate oyster
It's just an estimate
but I can specify that
quartz kindle
since all requests require an acknowledgment to be returned
slate oyster
It would have been lovely if our clocks were in sync
I'm quite upset about that
blissful scaffold
all ping checks are A>B>A where A is one machine and B is another machine
You could sync your bot time to discord's time if you check the time of a received message and take the delay in account.
But that will be very unreliable (Messages might be received late, or the ping might fluctuate)
blissful scaffold
Why is it even important that the time is in sync?
slate oyster
To get the correct 1-way ping and pong
quartz kindle
i think he wants to compare bot timestamp to message timestamp
blissful scaffold
what you could do is record the time, then send a message to discord and check what timestamp discord gave to that message
slate oyster
Except
Our clocks are off
blissful scaffold
just remember that there WILL be some delay between you sending it and discord receiving it
slate oyster
Our clocks are off
I am recording the time
and checking what timestamp Discord gave
but our clocks are different
Because it is quite hard to sync clocks when syncing itself involves a) having the correct time and b) dealing with latency of the time syncing service
I'll just suffice for the 2-way ping
but I'm sad
So my actual 2-way ping is 74 ms
Not negative, not large
blissful scaffold
I think the Discord servers that communicate with bots are in New York
quartz kindle
a weird thing you could try:
on message event -> check message timestamp -> deduct client.getResponseTime() -> compare to system time -> get offset and save to a variable
all further time comparisons involving system time shall include this offset
offset could be updated on every new message event
basically an attempt at manually syncing the clock with discord lmao
quartz kindle
xD
slate oyster
Will probably try that out sometime before I submit my bot
I love it
quartz kindle
same, 2am here
slate oyster
Goodnight to ya'll then
lol only 9:03 here
blissful scaffold
Your ping already told me you are in the USA 😛
earnest phoenix
xD
blissful scaffold
70ms ping means there is no ocean between you and the discord servers
slate oyster
Discord lets you choose the server region, doesn't it?
blissful scaffold
Bots always connect with New York as far as I know
slate oyster
Oh
interesting
What's a ping look like where you live?
slate oyster
Oh
it's only slightly longer
It could always be network delay
blissful scaffold
hopping the ocean is close to 100ms
pine bear
So I wanted my bot to send a welcome message in my server and came up with this but I wanted the bot to mention the new user.
Here is what I got
client.on('guildMemberAdd', member => {
member.guild.channels.get('660593478807322634').send("Hey there");
});
So I feel like you have to place message.mentions.members in
member.guild.channels.get('660593478807322634').send("Hey there");
^^^^^^^^^^
pine bear
mmm
blissful scaffold
i think it's something like member.mention?
pine bear
So it would be like this?
member.guild.channels.get('660593478807322634').send("Hey there", message.mentions.members);
or probably close to that, I might have missed something.
Not sure if it is that.
blissful scaffold
message How do you get the message?
pine bear
'member.mention'
blissful scaffold
There is no message when a user joins
pine bear
Oh so then.
member.guild.channels.get('660593478807322634').send("Hey there", member.mention);
I have no experience with JS bots, so I can't help with any details
hoary elm
To get it to ping them you can do <@${member.user.id}>
hoary elm
Or yeah ${member.user.tag} will work
hoary elm
Yeah I know I messed up
pine bear
So this will be the final product of the code because it looks to the point where it looks correct?
client.on('guildMemberAdd', member => {
member.guild.channels.get('660593478807322634').send("Hey there", '${member.user.tag}' );
});
catra you could use member.guild.systemChannel too
hoary elm
Yeah to get the default welcome channel
earnest phoenix
^
pine bear
There is no default
earnest phoenix
there is
pine bear
welcome channel
hoary elm
Yeah
pine bear
I turned it off
earnest phoenix
earnest phoenix
there still is a system channel
it might not show welcome messages
but it still exists
pine bear
I'll keep it as is because I don't really want to change a whole lot of things in my server.
earnest phoenix
you wont tho?
hoary elm
It's just easier then defining the channel how you did but whatever works
earnest phoenix
well just know that if, for some reason you ever have to change the welcome channel, you'd have to change the bots code. and with the way you get the channel now, the bot can never send welcome messages in any other server
pine bear
That channel existed for I dunno 3 months
earnest phoenix
my 2nd half still stands
hoary elm
Yes but what he means is that because you called the channel by ID it will only run in that channel
No other server can use the welcome messages
earnest phoenix
if it ever gets in another server, you'll have to either 1) make it configurable or 2) use the system channel
so you might as well do it now
pine bear
My bot is private to only my server
earnest phoenix
its good practice anyway
sick cloud
so i have an array here, ['h', 't'], when i use .slice(0, 1) i only get ['h'], why's that? it should slice both
hoary elm
Okay well that's different private bots don't really need it to be for everyone
earnest phoenix
element 0, stops BEFORE 1
pine bear
nice reply!
earnest phoenix
and it stops BEFORE the 2nd arg
slice(a,b) goes between a and b, INCLUDING a, but EXCLUDING b
so (forgive my python notation) "0123456789"[2::6] would be "2345"
sick cloud
so instead of 0,1 i should do 0,2?
earnest phoenix
yup
sick cloud
ah ok, ty
earnest phoenix
np
pine bear
now it show this for some reason
earnest phoenix
line 12
column 90
like the error says
you didnt teminate (end) a string
you used " to start it and ' to end it
hoary elm
And ${} should also be ran in ``
pine bear
back ticks ``
earnest phoenix
yup
hoary elm
Yeah
Or it won't read it how it should
It will send it as a normal message instead of outputting the ping
lavish seal
Im getting guild is not defined, can anyone help me out?
https://pastebin.com/2gGHUQjH
this is the error
hoary elm
@lavish seal try message.guild
earnest phoenix
you aren't defining guild anywhere to begin with but yeah try that ^^
that would work
i think
lavish seal
sheet, ill try that but how would i define it? tbh i thought it was enough to require discod.js
earnest phoenix
you define the parameters when you call the function but the function itself doesn't take any parameters 
member.guild afaik
hoary elm
At the top async function play(message, guild, serverQueue) {
Otherwise message.guild should work or you could also do const guild = message.guild; but that's just the lazy way 🤷🏻♂️
earnest phoenix
xD
lavish seal
will try all of the above
earnest phoenix
So I'm trying to use noblox.js in node.js, but I don't get how the cookies necessarily work,
so I have a command that logs someone in using an alt's cookie, and I have a command called "shout", which is supposed to create a group shout, however, I'm calling roblox.shout(groupid, message, cookie[HERES MY PROBLEM]). If I call it with a cookie then it says I'm not logged in, but if I call it without a cookie, it works just fine. I can confirm that the cookie variable is correct and is working.
Can someone tell me how I can use a robloxsecurity cookie as an argument in it so I can have multiple users?

The welcome message won't work, I tested by getting help from someine in my server.
client.on('guildMemberAdd', member => {
member.guild.channels.get('660593478807322634').send("Hey there", `${member.user.tag}`, "Welcome to She ra");
});
Sends nothing.
copper cradle
ofc
sudden geyser
You shouldn't be passing args that don't need to be passed.
copper cradle
client.guilds.channels.get
should do it
member is the object of the member that joined
use fucking common sense
sudden geyser
If the channel by the ID exists in that guild, it should work. If it doesn't, no work.
copper cradle
no
pine bear
copper cradle
that member object has nothing of that
sudden geyser
what do you mean?
pine bear
K, I get it.
lavish seal
now i get this error and the bot doesnt start
steel heath
try msg insteas
oh no don't do that lol
can't use a variable outside of it's scope
sudden geyser
are you sure you defined it
steel heath
so you have to do that in the message event's scope
cuz I guess you put it to the 3rd line of the whole file
lavish seal
i did as they said
pine aspen
Hey,
let crow = await con.prepare('SELECT * FROM codes'); const { code } = await con.prepare('SELECT code FROM codes'); if(code == args[0]) {
sudden geyser
can you show your code
pine aspen
How can i check if a data is in a column?
steel heath
what 
earnest phoenix
pine aspen
Does my code work up there?
I assume it does but the rest of the code does weird things.
lavish seal
@sudden geyser
https://pastebin.com/nrxp9JhF
sudden geyser
Can you show the code in commands/fun/MusicBot.js
I don't believe that's the file.
lavish seal
thats the file
the one i uploaded
oh i removed the consts that were causing the error
because bot wouldnt start and they werent helping the command
but they were right under the top 2 const like this
const discord = require("discord.js")
const ytdl = require("ytdl-core")
const msg = message
const ch = message.ch
const guild = ch.guild
then i removed
const msg = message
yes, you can't use a variable before it's been declared. are you having anymore issues?
lavish seal
yes i originally added that as the recommendation to define guild because when i did s!play with my bot it joined the channel but did not play the yt link i provided
hoary elm
@lavish seal You have to define the consts under the async function since that is where message is originally defined
lavish seal
oooo i c
hoary elm
i also don't recommend using multiple different methods to call the same function or event or whatever
use one if it doesn't work try the other
Example: if you define Guild in the async function you shouldnt need to define it again anywhere else it should be able to be called and used as is

hey guys
I just got Contabo VPS (4 core 8GB tier), and the response time is pretty slow for some of my commands
does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do? I'm using Heroku right now and was thinking of migrating to Contabo, but I'm not sure now since it's kind of slow.
Maybe I should get a better tier for Contabo, like the 8 core 30GB RAM one?
Would appreciate any help!!!

nope
take out those commas

is it js or am i dumb?

I fixed it a moment ago
hoary elm
Okay
pine bear
I know how to code lmao
hoary elm
@regal saddle per server?

yep
hoary elm
Link a DB of some sort make it create a default prefix on GuildCreate and store the prefix in the DB via Guild.ID
Then create a command to allow them to replace db prefix
regal saddle
k thx m8

more complaining abt toxicdev xD
copper cradle
LMFAOOO
hoary elm
🤔 hey now!
earnest phoenix
no but what me and @copper cradle said is the way to go
hoary elm
He said that would error so I recommended a different way 🤷🏻♂️
earnest phoenix
it doesnt error tho?
copper cradle
yeah but why in thw world you you separate a string and put it inside another string
hoary elm
He also had it as "" `` "" without the + so I corrected
copper cradle
("Hey There " + ${member.user.tag} + " Welcome to She Ra")
("Hey There " + member.user.tag + " Welcome to She Ra")
copper cradle
you can do it the ES5 way
earnest phoenix
client.on('client.guilds.channels.get', member => {
member.guild.channels.get('660593478807322634').send(`Hey there, ${member.user.tag}, Welcome to She ra`);

ionic compass
is there an API limit on what messages a bot can edit? for some reason if I restart my bot, then try to make it edit one of its message, nothing happens
regal saddle
its cuz the cache of your bot gets deleted
Your bot cant remember that he sends the message
ionic compass
ahh okay thanks
earnest phoenix
somehow i doubt
earnest phoenix
i can edit a message from years ago if i want
as long as you have the id and channel you should be fine
ionic compass
oh... well then there must be a deeper issue... I will have to do some more digging
regal saddle
you can make an message cache.
just get the message id and channel id and your should be fine

more debugging reveals that lukas is right. The message id points to the right message, but the bot doesn't see it as SocketUserMessage anymore. Though Im not quite sure how to make the bot see it as such again...

How come I get an error (shown below) when trying to require a .json file?
let c = require("./configMsgs.json");
```Error:
```diff
- Cannot find module './configMsgs.json'
what file are you running that line from
floral bloom
A command from the commands folder.
amber fractal
../configMsgs.json ../ goes up one

floral bloom
- SyntaxError: Illegal return statement
that's a different error
floral bloom
Yes.
Ah.
I thought it had to do with the require function.
Thanks, it must have worked! 🙂

celest drum
i have a question, does anyone know how to implement music into a discord bot? I've tried to install the npm package discord-music-core but it keeps failing
golden condor
I do @celest drum
You could use lavalink
But I have one issue
I don't know how to install a lavalink voice node
celest drum
could it be found in npm?
celest drum
thankyou
earnest phoenix
Anyone here have experience with the discord api?
Specifically redirect uris?
oauth you mean
yeah what with it
earnest phoenix
i need some one help me
I need to make my bot on
you are aware we don't have superpowers and can't read your mind right? you need to provide your error, library, language etc for us to be able to help you, we need context
ok
Uh I just did like in #502193464054644737 and it isn't work.
what
yeah
????
And my bot just disconnect
which library are you using
library
...
neat ingot
which tools and programming language did you make your bot with?
earnest phoenix
command prompt
node
what
It's my first time
have you even tried reading the docs
yes
3 times
also it's not a good idea to faceplant into making a discord bot without any prior programming knowledge
neat ingot
if your bot is written in javascript language, using node js, your likely using eris or discord.js. you likely have a file called something like index.js, or bot.js, and a package.json file etc.
go to the directory your bot files are in, shift and right click to open command prompt (may be called windows power shell), then type node filename.js, with whatever your bot file is called. you may be able to instead run something like npm start depending on the package.json file's configuration.
thats it, im out ~
neat ingot
😄
earnest phoenix
@neat ingot wait, do u know how?
quartz kindle
its a box-shadow in the css
neat ingot
how much are we allowed to do with the html we put into the page?
quartz kindle
anything except hiding ads and buttons/links
earnest phoenix
^
neat ingot
well, what about umm..
neat ingot
<iframe src="" onload="window.location.href='https://dekbot.com'"></iframe>```couldnt help but notice thats what the medal bot does
quartz kindle
yes iframes are allowed
earnest phoenix
@neat ingot what happens
quartz kindle
that is not allowed i think
earnest phoenix
probably isnt
neat ingot
so clearly exemptions...
earnest phoenix
<iframe id="botiframe" src="https://test.com"><p>ehm, uwu? Your browser does not support iframes</p></iframe>
i just use that
but its still better than letting google harvest your data on top.gg lol
quartz kindle
medalbot doesnt do it
neat ingot
quartz kindle
oh
neat ingot
thats from view src on pokecord page
earnest phoenix
it's commented
neat ingot
yes i noticed that
neat ingot
but medal still redirects 😄
quartz kindle
it doesnt for me?
quartz kindle
neat ingot
noah you need to put it into a style block
earnest phoenix
i did
quartz kindle
@earnest phoenix you need to pay attention to css specificity
earnest phoenix
<style>
html {
background-color: #7289DA;
box-shadow: blue;
}
.owners a {
color: red;
}
</style>```lol
quartz kindle
more specific css rules will always override less specific rules
quartz kindle
smh
earnest phoenix
rip
quartz kindle
dont abuse important
neat ingot
lmao
quartz kindle
just make your css equally specific
earnest phoenix
sure
quartz kindle
use the same selectors they use when you inspect element
earnest phoenix
yeah
neat ingot
so im now curious why medal tv bot redirects me but not you
its always redirected me, thats what caused me to notice it
earnest phoenix
exactly
neat ingot
and then, are they allowed to be redirecting?
and then, are we?
cause i mean, its incredibly simple to do so, but i dont see why the site would allow for it tbh
quartz kindle
no redirect in firefox either
neat ingot
could it be location specific maybe?
quartz kindle
lmao
neat ingot
im in uk: scotland
quartz kindle
this is what their iframe looks like for me in the source code
<iframe id="botiframe" onload="setCampaignIframe('');" width="100%" src="https://medal.tv/?ref=dblbotpage" id="botiframe">
hoary elm
@quartz kindle he's not lying... Here look https://streamable.com/glb3z
neat ingot
aha, another person! where are you based toxic>?
hoary elm
🇨🇦 lol
neat ingot
ahh rip location theory 😄
hoary elm
Lol
earnest phoenix
@quartz kindle could it be your browser/isp cache
quartz kindle
i figured it out
neat ingot
also, is there any other thing in their source, like the script tag i found in pokecords thing?
neat ingot
lol
earnest phoenix
I saiddd
quartz kindle
its not an iframe redirect
earnest phoenix
Bruh
quartz kindle
its a backend redirect, and it only works via top.gg/bot/medal and not via top.gg/bot/medalsBotID
neat ingot
oohhh
earnest phoenix
Send bot id
quartz kindle
https://top.gg/bot/medal
301 Moved Permanently
https://medal.tv?utm_source=dbl&utm_medium=dbl&utm_campaign=dblcard&ref=dblcard
200 OK```its a 301 redirect
quartz kindle
https://top.gg/bot/307998818547531777 this one doesnt redirect
it just shows their iframe
neat ingot
wait, are we allowed to set the css for a custom background image? 😄
wheres that rules thing
scrolls up
quartz kindle
yes you can use custom backgrounds
earnest phoenix
It looks cool their page
earnest phoenix
XD
does someone know how to put bot icon in circle?
i mean i knowh ot to but i need the style
quartz kindle
border-radius: 50%
earnest phoenix
yeah but i need like .bot-img
quartz kindle
yeah just give it the border-radius
quartz kindle
css specificity
earnest phoenix
?
quartz kindle
img needs to be at least as specific as the original
quartz kindle
give it to the background instead
quartz kindle
border:none
quartz kindle
you know, you can just test it out directly in the element inspector
quartz kindle
neat ingot
i just flat out copied some stuff to make my bot avatar float like medals does 😄
i wanted the round border anyway, but now he bouncy 😄

whyy??

@hoary elm can you help mee

@quartz kindle please help man

hm, how to remove this
i tried adding a background image and still appear that
and changing background color and same..
hoary elm
@toxic jolt => not =
quartz kindle
the correct way is => WITHOUT the extra ) lol
dusky marsh
I was gonna say, it should be a callback
toxic jolt
client.on("messageUpdate", async (oldMsg, newMsg)) => {
//let prefix = await db.fetch(`prefix_${newMsg.guild.id}`) || ayarlar.prefix
if (newMsg.author.bot) return;
if (!newMsg.content.startsWith(ayarlar.prefix)) return;

let perms = client.elevation(newMsg);
let cmd;
if (client.commands.has(command)) cmd = client.commands.get(command);
else if (client.aliases.has(command))
cmd = client.commands.get(client.aliases.get(command));
if (cmd) {
if (perms < cmd.conf.permLevel) return;
cmd.run(client, newMsg, params, perms);
}
});```here
quartz kindle
client.on("something", (a,b) => {
// where are the open brackets?
})```That's what he used the first time
toxic jolt
okay
quartz kindle
and he was correct, just missing the >
quartz kindle
the closing bracket gets pushed to the end to make room for the callback function
client.on("something", (a,b) => {})
hoary elm
Yeah that makes sense
steel heath
how did that fix his issue tho
quartz kindle
it didnt
hoary elm
No it didn't
toxic jolt
LOL
Now it doesn't sync with github
earnest phoenix
hoary elm
@toxic jolt try turning the dyno off and on again or just wait a minute for it to catch up with the updates
quartz kindle
@earnest phoenix
toxic jolt
Synced but still still the same error
quartz kindle
remove the extra )
toxic jolt
okay
quartz kindle
.shapes-background {

toxic jolt
@steel heath omg
steel heath
wow
dusky marsh
wrong channel fam
toxic jolt
i how to fix this error
hoary elm
how do you have client defined?
hoary elm
Yeah I was just thinking the same thing
Ended something wrong prior or isn't defining client but then it would just say it's not defined
earnest phoenix
const DBL = require("dblapi.js");
const dbl = new DBL('API_TOKEN_DBL', client);
dbl.on('posted', () => {
console.log('[DBL] Server count has been updated!');

client.on('ready', () => {
setInterval(() => {
dbl.postStats(client.guilds.size, client.shards.Id, client.shards.total);
}, 1800000);
});
dbl.on('error', e => {
console.log(`Oops! ${e}`);
});```this does not work ^
it posts the guilds count but not shards
quartz kindle
@toxic jolt show code before that
@earnest phoenix you dont need to use .postStats if you have client in DBL
it will use the autoposter instead
tight plinth
@earnest phoenix if server count is posted, token is correct. Are you sure that your shard system works like that? (client.shards.total for number of shards...)
earnest phoenix
wait
i do this
const dbl = new DBL('API_TOKEN_DBL', client, client.shards.total);
?
quartz kindle
no
earnest phoenix
then
quartz kindle
if you do this new DBL('API_TOKEN_DBL', client) you dont need to use postStats
you only need to use postStats if you do this new DBL('API_TOKEN_DBL')
earnest phoenix
of d.js?
quartz kindle
yes
quartz kindle
in your package.json
tight plinth
require('discord.js').version
earnest phoenix
version: 11.5.1
quartz kindle
yes, client.shards doesnt exist
earnest phoenix
then how to
tight plinth
const dbl = new DBL('API_TOKEN_DBL', client);
quartz kindle
but if you use the automatic posting, it will do it for you
tight plinth
Just that
earnest phoenix
@tight plinth but i want to post shard count too
tight plinth
It's automatic
storm bluff
how can i transfer app from team to my self i am the owner of app and team
quartz kindle
the automatic posting will post shard count if your bot is sharded
earnest phoenix
oh
const DBL = require("dblapi.js");
const dbl = new DBL('API_TOKEN', client);
dbl.on('posted', () => {
console.log('[DBL] Server count has been updated!');
})
dbl.on('error', e => {
console.log(`Oops! ${e}`);
});
then this?
quartz kindle
yes

^past 30 days bandwidth for my bot
is it normal to be using so much since hes in this server?
its almost all inbound
true ravine
That's what my CPU utilisation graph looks like so I guess this server be thicc
If you think about it, every time a message is sent, your bot checks if it contains your prefix
earnest phoenix
true ravine
So that means a lot of incoming messages
earnest phoenix
help ^
neat ingot
lmao
true ravine
But in proportion its a big jump
neat ingot
well yea i guess thats true 😄
wondering what kinda bandwidth these bots with like 100k servers+ use 😄
