[quartz kindle]

oh the voice channel

[finite bough]

ye

can u see?

[quartz kindle]

nop

[finite bough]

wait r there perms for screen sharing?

[quartz kindle]

i mean, you can just post screenshots, no?

[finite bough]

well sure

current json file content

[earnest phoenix]

Please do not use json for storing

[finite bough]

no change

now u as it says its only the editor

[quartz kindle]

yes, its only the editor thats not updated

files that are altered on the backend (that is to say not in the editor - so either by your code or by using something like vim in your project’s console) don’t automatically get synced with the editor, so Glitch sees the right content if you use it in your code, but you won’t see it reflected in the editor unless you run the refresh command in your project’s console.

[finite bough]

it's under fsreadjson.... if(db.wmessageperm === "true"){

[quartz kindle]

do you have an eval command?

try doing eval fs.readFileSync()

[quartz kindle]

welp idk then

[finite bough]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[modest maple]

Why you should use a db :∆

Welp idk how my phone has turned to the Greek alphabet but okii

No spam indeed

Bad

[coral trellis]

@high linden don't spam

[high linden]

Okay

[finite bough]

people spamming no spam

@amber fractal what code

[amber fractal]

Behind your welcome command

That sets it to true or false

[finite bough]

const Discord = require("discord.js");
const fs = require("fs-extra");

module.exports = {
  name: "welcome",
  description: "changes the welcome permission of the bot",
  usage: "welcome True/false",
  category: "mod",

  code(client, message, args) {
    if (!message.member.hasPermission('ADMINISTRATOR')) {
      return message.reply(`You cannot use that command!`);
    }
    
    
    
    
    
    
   fs.readJson(`./lol/${message.guild.id}.json`, (err, db) => {
  let wel = `${db.prefix}welcome`
  
  let answer = message.content.slice(wel.length + 1);
     if(!answer){
       return message.reply("invalid syntax, `welcome [true/false]`")
     }
     if(answer.toLowerCase() === "true" || answer.toLowerCase() === "false"){
       
     
  
  if (err) return console.error(err);
  db.wmessageperm = message.content.slice(wel.length + 1);
  fs.writeFile(`./lol/${message.guild.id}.json`, JSON.stringify(db, null, 2));
       message.channel.send("welcome permission changed successfully!")
}else 
  message.reply("invalid sytax, `welcone [true/false]`")
  });
               
}
}

wait

"welcone"

Lmmao

[amber fractal]

Yeah that's weird, it just isnt updating?

[finite bough]

nup

sometimes it does

but

rarely

[fast zenith]

Doesn't return any errors when it doesn't?

[finite bough]

that code works how am I suppose to get an error

I tried to add that in a file runned by local host

[amber fractal]

Because it doesnt update

[finite bough]

it works

[fast zenith]

Well if it's not executing correctly

[amber fractal]

Can you log what is returned when you JSON.stringify it after the update

I dont think it matters though

[finite bough]

^

I dont even use json dbs anymore

[amber fractal]

Because it'd still write

[finite bough]

I just wanted to show it to tim

[amber fractal]

Oh

[vernal yoke]

const GetGuild = message.guild;

    if(GetGuild)

[solemn quartz]

Can someone Help Me with this error?:

if(BotMember.voiceChannelID === ${message.author.voiceChannelID}) return message.reply('Non Siamo Nello Stesso Canale
Vocale!')
^

ReferenceError: Cannot access 'BotMember' before initialization

[copper cradle]

show the code

[solemn quartz]

Of that cmd?

[copper cradle]

yes

I mean

the error says it all

[solemn quartz]

case 'EsciCV':
if(!message.member.hasPermissions('MUTE_MEMBERS')) return message.reply('Non Hai il Permesso Di Usare Questo Comando!')
if(!message.member.voiceChannel) return message.reply('Devi Essere In Un Canale Vocale Per Usare Questo Comando!')
if(BotMember.voiceChannelID === ${message.author.voiceChannelID}) return message.reply('Non Siamo Nello Stesso Canale Vocale!')
BotMember.voiceChannel.leave()
break;

[copper cradle]

you're trying to access BotMember before initializing it

use code blocks

for the sake of god

[solemn quartz]

?

So how i fix this?

[charred jetty]

69bal

[copper cradle]

```js
paste your code here

[fast zenith]

^

[copper cradle]

copy that and send that

I'm not reading that code as you sent it

[solemn quartz]

        case 'EsciCV':

            break;

I have a const for Bot member btw

[fast zenith]

Where is it defined? Can that code block access the const?

[solemn quartz]

const BotMember = message.guild.members.find(u => u.user.username === "Super Bot" )

Where is it defined? Can that code block access the const?
@fast zenith Nope

That works

ive tested it with JoinVC Cmd

[fast zenith]

is the bot called Super Bot?

[solemn quartz]

Yea

No questions

pls

I have a life

[copper cradle]

uuh

why are u doing that

[fast zenith]

^

[solemn quartz]

wat

[fast zenith]

Searching the Guild for the Bot user when you have it's instance?

[solemn quartz]

???????????????????????????????????????????

[copper cradle]

just use your instance of the bot

[solemn quartz]

const bot = new Discord.Client()

I just have this

No other

What

I ve seen what u said

Lol

@fast zenith

[fast zenith]

didn't mean to remove but like this.bot

[earnest phoenix]

also that doesn't guarantee it's going to return your bot

[mossy vine]

^

[modest maple]

why do u even need you bot object via searching?

[solemn quartz]

Why when i ask something in this server and i go a minute in aother tab i return here and there are 5 people responding

This happened yesterday too :p

[fast zenith]

Heaps of people willing to assist in solving your problem

[solemn quartz]

I know

But imagine your asking a thing and u just close your eyes for a second and then discord says you have 40 pings in the same server in the same chat

Im going afk a moment

bye

[earnest phoenix]

i have a question if i am using this msg.guild.channels.find(channel => channel.name === "logs") how do i send a msg to the logs channel

[fast zenith]

Assuming what you provided grabs the channel correctly you can add

.send("Woohoo it works!")

to the end and it will send the message to the channel
more info here https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/TextChannel?scrollTo=send

[earnest phoenix]

i so dumb

thx

yes i just remembered

XD

[fast zenith]

all g haha happens to everyone

[solemn quartz]

i have a question if i am using this msg.guild.channels.find(channel => channel.name === "logs") how do i send a msg to the logs channel
@earnest phoenix btw u could make Channel -> ch

ch => ch.name === "logs"

And this is the same

msg.guild.channels.find

am bakc boi

[earnest phoenix]

yah ik

[solemn quartz]

Lul

@copper cradle So how do i fix that bug?

I tried to fix it but it still doesnt work

[rare tangle]

Hi I just need a quick reply

is there a time limit on changing bot's status?

[solemn quartz]

I Dont think so

[modest maple]

yes

[solemn quartz]

really?

[modest maple]

5/20s

[slate oyster]

Once every four seconds approx

[modest maple]

^^

[rare tangle]

So I can change my bot's stat every 10 seconds safely?

[modest maple]

yes but idk why youd wanna

[rare tangle]

I'm getting online count from an api so

thanks for answering

[slate oyster]

Cache the count

And only update status if the count changes

[fast zenith]

^

[finite bough]

@earnest phoenix did u get ur answer?

[earnest phoenix]

hmmmm

[finite bough]

u can do

channel.send("ur stuff")

or find it using ids

[earnest phoenix]

i tried that before

but in didn't work

[ionic anchor]

How pay nitro to my bot ? 🙄

[summer torrent]

what

[earnest phoenix]

hmmm

[fast zenith]

uh

[earnest phoenix]

bots dont have nitro

u just put the :emot:

[ionic anchor]

So how some but can use custom emoji

[earnest phoenix]

you can already use custom emojis

without nitro

[fast zenith]

^

[earnest phoenix]

make sure the bot is in the server

[ionic anchor]

Animated

[earnest phoenix]

for the bot yser

user^^

same thing

and just us the :emote: in the codes

[ionic anchor]

Bot can use animated emote without nitro ?

[earnest phoenix]

i think so

try it lol

yep

if you dont know, just experiment

:P

[fast zenith]

Yea, The only thing you need to make sure is the invite link has the permission to Use External Emojis if your planning to use custom emotes

[finite bough]

@earnest phoenix did u get an error

[ionic anchor]

But i have see bot use custom emote in my server

[finite bough]

@ionic anchoryes bots can use custom emotes as well as animated emotes

[fast zenith]

You upload the emoji to yours as long as the bot has the use external emojis permission when invited to another server it will be able to use the emoji from yours

[ionic anchor]

Oh cool

[earnest phoenix]

nah its working

.send()

[finite bough]

yes

[earnest phoenix]

i cant find anything on discords web api for making an invite link,

the library im using (.net) also doesnt seem to have anything,

so before i go rummaging through the depths of sites, does anyone know if its possible to make an invite link through a bot user?

[finite bough]

@earnest phoenix do u mean invite of ur own bot?

[earnest phoenix]

no,

invite of guild

Server invite that is

sorry, shouldve specified^

okay so discord has a endpoint for this and document it well

lemme search it out

for making invites?

Yep

oh sweet okay, thank you

https://discordapp.com/developers/docs/resources/channel#create-channel-invite

Ah, part of the channel class

that's why I couldn't find it then

thank you!

Yep, the invite has to be on a channel

[finite bough]

not exactly

[finite bough]

@earnest phoenix do ya use SQL?

[earnest phoenix]

no and also it has to be on a channel

there is no other way to create a invite

[finite bough]

client.getrank = sql.prepare("SELECT * FROM scores WHERE user = ? AND guild =? ORDER BY scores DESC")

[earnest phoenix]

oh wait

[finite bough]

how do u set the data in decending order

[coral trellis]

https://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_orderby.asp this might help

It should essentially sort them with that query

[finite bough]

@coral trellis I added the ASC

but it gives me an error

[coral trellis]

What's the error?

[finite bough]

cannot find columns "score ASC"

[modest maple]

you want the top 10?

[blissful scaffold]

what is the name of the column you want to order by?

is it score or scores?

[finite bough]

well yes

[modest maple]

you need to order via column

[finite bough]

scores

[modest maple]

so select <what ever> from <table>

[blissful scaffold]

cannot find columns "score ASC" this says score

[finite bough]

column name- wcores

[modest maple]

then order by

[finite bough]

oh mb

[modest maple]

colum DESC

[finite bough]

scores ACD

[modest maple]

order in DESC

take the first 10 results from fetchall

or fetch many

[finite bough]

I did that like

column name ASC

[modest maple]

if you want top 10 u need DESC

ascending means working up as u go down

do it would order like:

1
2
3
4
5

[finite bough]

ik

see the code I sent

[modest maple]

yh

you are doing Select all from table scores then trying to order it by the table

[finite bough]

actually ima try smthing

I will rename the columns

coz i think I named the column and the table the small thing

[modest maple]

according to ur Query you are trying to order by a table

which conflicts shit

so yh

change column name so it doesnt conflict

[finite bough]

yea

[finite bough]

@ハーリ-さん (CF8)#6621

@modest maple

    `SELECT * FROM scores WHERE guild =? ORDER BY points DESC`
  );```

  let ranking = client.getrank.get(message.guild.id)
  
  if(message.content.includes("$rank")){
    message.reply(`${ranking.level}`)
  }
})

ik the 2nd part is not right

[modest maple]

looks alright in terms of query

[finite bough]

like

[modest maple]

second part needs to fetch all or fetch many

[finite bough]

it sends "18"

wdym

[modest maple]

fetchall returns a list/ array

of all the values

you can then take the first 10 from that

[finite bough]

like

[modest maple]

or fetch many and tell it to get 10

[finite bough]

client.getrank.fetch all.get(...)

[pseudo whale]

yeah doesnt work on different bot acc either

just no messages

[quartz kindle]

well...

[mossy vine]

wait what

okay then

why did it literally work before

with the same code

im not even joking it was working

[quartz kindle]

lmao

[mossy vine]

here is actual proof that it was working earlier with the same bullshit code

at least now its working reliably, thank you lmao

[copper cradle]

r e s p e c t

[finite bough]

a had paid respect

[mossy vine]

ok are yall just making fun of my bot

if so do it in dms or #memes-and-media cuz this is development

[pale vessel]

is eris better?

(than your traditional djs)

[quartz kindle]

same shit mostly

[mossy vine]

well i sure hope memory usage wont climb to 1.5gb after a few days of uptime

[pale vessel]

was just about to try it

don't know if it would be worth the time

[mossy vine]

docs are shit

but its not too bad

[pale vessel]

and weeb devs

afaik dyno uses eris too right?

[mossy vine]

yes

[earnest phoenix]

What’s the eval to have your bot leave a server using the servers id

[smoky spire]

What lib

[restive furnace]

guild#leave method is on most libs, so try that.

[earnest phoenix]

Discord.js

[balmy knoll]

Hi, i have a problem in my bot. I want to show in the bot activity the number of servers that used the bot. I tried to use client.guilds.size, but the bot shows the undefined value. Do you have some solutions?

[smoky spire]

client.guilds.cache.size

[balmy knoll]

I try

@smoky spire Thanks

[restive furnace]

Tip for d.js stable users: if you get undefined on some client#object, then just try add client#object.cache always.

[heavy marsh]

Need a help on something. discord.js
So my bot is in 600+ servers.

when I try to get the server owner id it doesnt work [ Only In A Few Servers ].
How can I fix this issue?

[balmy knoll]

@restive furnace Thanks for the tips

[summer torrent]

@heavy marsh message.guild.ownerID

[heavy marsh]

@summer torrent thank you. Then how to get a owners pfp?

message.guild.owner.user.avatarURL

[sterile minnow]

https://little-files.glitch.me/data?file=06JE06NO.png what the Actual f is this error?

[summer torrent]

get it from client

[tight plinth]

client.users.get(message.guild.ownerID).then(user => {user.avatarURL})

like this

[heavy marsh]

ook thanks you

thanks alot 🙂

client.users.get(message.guild.ownerID).avatarURL

this is also correct right?

(node:3709) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: TypeError: client.guilds.reduce is not a function

[amber fractal]

What is your d.js version

[safe nacelle]

new

[amber fractal]

Very helpful. Anyways, in the latest versions of d.js client.guilds returns a GuildManager to which to get the guild collection you need to access the property cache so try client.guilds.cache.reduce(...) dumb change but that's what happens

[safe nacelle]

@amber fractal

tnx

[amber fractal]

Yep

I would suggest checking the updated docs

A lot has changed since v11

[earnest phoenix]

someone give me some useful features that i can add

[lyric mountain]

hey guys, I need a little help with sending images in d.js

consider the following:
A - a json is returned from a fetch call, containing the response code and a Base64 image
B - the fetch is necessary for authentication

my question is: how do I convert from base64 and send the image?

[amber fractal]

d.js can send b64 resolvables cant it?

[lyric mountain]

how? @charred jetty is having some issues getting the image from my api and sending is via d.js

since I barely scratched d.js I'm a bit lost

also, the image is being returned correctly from the api (I've checked)

I've tried sending him the image itself as bytes, but idk how you can send it that way via djs either

[amber fractal]

It says you can send Buffer resolvables as message attachments

[lyric mountain]

we'll try, thx for the heads up

[amber fractal]

If that doesnt work you could also try message.channel.send({files:[Buffer]})
(https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/typedef/MessageOptions)

[unique nimbus]

check how many servers the bot is in and leave the newest?

[zenith orchid]

check how many servers the bot is in and leave the newest?
Yes, there is no other methods.

[unique nimbus]

is there something which logs when your bot joins a new guild

in python there was/is on_guild_join

[smoky spire]

which lib

[zenith orchid]

I think djs

[smoky spire]

guildCreate then

[hoary elm]

^^

[zenith orchid]

can actually read the document

[earnest phoenix]

that is so incorrect to the point it hurts

you'd want to leave your newest guilds or prioritize guilds with a low member count to leave

[true ravine]

I have a footer to my website, but I want it to stay at the bottom even when zoomed out so there's no white spaces

What property do I need?

[solemn quartz]

@true ravine So ur doing a website

do u use a website maker?

[true ravine]

I'm coding it all myself

[solemn quartz]

Ok

how did u make it

i mean

how to do the website itself

u code it, but where

how do u started it

[true ravine]

I'm using glitch at the moment so I can host it for free while I test it

I'll ditch glitch asap because it sucks and move the code to a real host + tld

[solemn quartz]

oki

I use a website maker but the URL is not cool

it adds ".jimdofree"

[true ravine]

If you want a proper URL, you have to pay

[unique nimbus]

^

[solemn quartz]

ik

[true ravine]

Tbh html and css is relatively easy if you have w3schools helping you out

No real benefit to using a website maker if you can do it properly

[solemn quartz]

But you need to pay

PAY

i dont wanna PAY

[unique nimbus]

you are expecting things to be free?

[solemn quartz]

i dont like paying

so yes

[unique nimbus]

welcome to life

[true ravine]

You don't have to pay to code

You just have to pay to host it

[unique nimbus]

and domain

[solemn quartz]

lol

[true ravine]

Yeah

Domains are pretty cheap if you get them bundled with hosting

The domain is often free

[solemn quartz]

im using a website maker and it is becoming pretty good

[unique nimbus]

wdym domains are normally free

oh wait

that one which they give you for no reason which doesn't look good

[solemn quartz]

?

[true ravine]

Nah companies like 1and1 give you a .com or .co.uk domain free with most hosting plans

[unique nimbus]

and they charge more for it upfront per month

[true ravine]

They're like £5/month

I'd take that personally

[solemn quartz]

but guys

im using a website maker

and it is FREE

[true ravine]

Don't

[unique nimbus]

^

[solemn quartz]

hosting too

its just the URL

nothing other

[unique nimbus]

Well you see no good company really wants to see free domains

with ad placement for the company who made it themselves

[earnest phoenix]

congrats your website is just as generic as every single portfolio and entrepreneur website ever

[true ravine]

That's true

If you follow a template, chances are there's a 100 other people who have used the same one

[unique nimbus]

yes

[solemn quartz]

im not using a template

lol

[true ravine]

Nice

[unique nimbus]

yes

wait Super you said you don't like paying for things but you got Nitro?

[true ravine]

Oof

[solemn quartz]

what about fortnite

i only spent 40$

[unique nimbus]

what

[solemn quartz]

sorry write worng

[unique nimbus]

and you can get a proper good game for 40$?

[solemn quartz]

wrong

3000$

[unique nimbus]

what

[solemn quartz]

fuck i cant spellnumbers

Shit i cant write today

[true ravine]

Interesting

[solemn quartz]

300$

ok

300

[true ravine]

Why would you do that then

[solemn quartz]

this is right

?

games are games

and are the skins i bought are permanent

[true ravine]

Cool

[unique nimbus]

until the game shuts down

[solemn quartz]

the premium things on websites arent perm

[unique nimbus]

well it is if you are paying for it

[true ravine]

Yeah but which one is more useful

[solemn quartz]

Skins

[unique nimbus]

no

[solemn quartz]

So i can make my friends hate me

[true ravine]

Mine already do

For free

ur not a gud friend

@hidden flame

[unique nimbus]

bruh

[true ravine]

You'll have to download the attachments as files and store them somewhere

[unique nimbus]

if it is just a message get the message contents

He wants the attatchments tho

FINALLY I CAN SEE MEE6 OWNERS

FUCK YEAH

[unique nimbus]

Super

[true ravine]

#commands, not here

[unique nimbus]

You can join their server for that

[knotty fiber]

it never works for files that aren't images it seems too

but downloading attachments is ugh

[heavy marsh]

I have a question on discord.js
guild.iconURL = Server Icon
How to change it so it also be like a gif if a server has a gif icon?

[unique nimbus]

Doesn't it already do that anyway?

[solemn quartz]

lol?

[heavy marsh]

not in my case

[unique nimbus]

hmm

[solemn quartz]

lolololol?

[heavy marsh]

it doesnt work for me

[unique nimbus]

Super this is not #memes-and-media this is for development support

hmm

[solemn quartz]

not lol?

developer lol?

[heavy marsh]

hmmm?

[solemn quartz]

hmlolmm?

[earnest phoenix]

@knotty fiber suggestion (not criticizing anything, it looks nice) - but maybe put the date in the footer

it looks better there 9 times out of 10

[solemn quartz]

guys

Can someone say me how to do things like this

[unique nimbus]

JS - Canvas
Python - PIL

[solemn quartz]

oki thank you

So i just search on google "Discord Avatar Canvas"?

[knotty fiber]

or sharp

[solemn quartz]

oki

[knotty fiber]

https://sharp.pixelplumbing.com/

[quartz kindle]

for simple image compositing, sharp is the better option

canvas is best for drawing and programmatically generating an image

[knotty fiber]

although

to use a link

https://github.com/lovell/sharp/issues/1901

[solemn quartz]

thank you guys

@knotty fiber so i did "npm install sharp"

Now wat?

I dont know how to use it

[knotty fiber]

read the documentation

[quartz kindle]

https://sharp.pixelplumbing.com/api-constructor

scroll down to examples

[solemn quartz]

ty

I think im gonna see a yt tutorial too

[vernal yoke]

canvas is best for drawing and programmatically generating an image
@quartz kindle also jimp and graphics magik

and canvas contructor is a hacky easy way for canvas :p

[quartz kindle]

jimp is about 20x slower than others because its written in pure javascript

[solemn quartz]

ill problably use canvas constructor then

[quartz kindle]

canvas-constructor is just being lazy

lmao

[solemn quartz]

I am lazy

Ima download canvas constructor : )

[vernal yoke]

jimp is about 20x slower than others because its written in pure javascript
@quartz kindle idk for me is fast as fuck boi

[crimson vapor]

alright I am still so confused, I am defining an object with a value as true, but its saying its undefined

and I have no spelling errors as I can tell

[solemn quartz]

lol?

[vernal yoke]

undefined javascript dev nightmare lmfao

[near ether]

what is a good way to target memory leaks?

[solemn quartz]

true :p

target memory leaks

[near ether]

i know i have one but i can't for the life of me figure out where it could be coming from

[crimson vapor]

        console.log(data);
        console.log(data.useEmbeds);```

[quartz kindle]

first make sure your leak is in fact your code, and not just your discord library's caching lol

[crimson vapor]

is the console log

and I get this

[near ether]

do you happen to know which parts of djs have memory leaks?

i had no idea it did

[quartz kindle]

its not memory leaks, its just how the library handles caching

[grizzled raven]

when your program starts, maybe wait a minute or two, cache memory usage, then log in, wait a while, and cache again, see how it changes

[quartz kindle]

it caches EVERYTHING by default, to avoid hitting the discord api as much as possible, and to make it possible for you to access post-mortem data, such as deleted messages and such

[grizzled raven]

just a suggestion

[near ether]

gotcha ty for the explanation!

[quartz kindle]

how many guilds and users does your bot have?

[near ether]

let me check

[vernal yoke]

it's over 9000

[grizzled raven]

also, when you say memory leak, how much ram do you have in the first place

[near ether]

dude

[grizzled raven]

or how much is it using

[near ether]

its actually over 9k

not kidding

lmao

[grizzled raven]

over 9k bytes

[near ether]

nah servers lol

[vernal yoke]

[near ether]

lmao

[grizzled raven]

oh lol

[near ether]

i have 8gbs of ram

[grizzled raven]

so then how much is it using

[near ether]

all of it

[vernal yoke]

2+2 equals 4 quick maffs

[grizzled raven]

h

[near ether]

then it auto restarts

[grizzled raven]

tim you can take over

but

[near ether]

i think it has roughly 20k players

[grizzled raven]

music?

oh

nvm

nothingl

[near ether]

no its turn based combat with reactions/embeds

[grizzled raven]

first give me all your code, you know, so i can find the problem 😎

jkjk

[near ether]

lmaoo

[quartz kindle]

well, im just gonna say this, my bot is in 2300k servers, and using an unmodified discord.js with disabled events and disabled message caching, and basic cache sweeping, its memory usage reaches about 600mb

while with my modified discord.js framework, it only uses 60mb

[vernal yoke]

2300k

[crimson vapor]

wow

[quartz kindle]

2300*

not k

lmao

[grizzled raven]

tim advertising his modified djs fw

[vernal yoke]

oh

[crimson vapor]

Tim what did you change?

[quartz kindle]

anyhow

[grizzled raven]

he basically remade it i think

like

[quartz kindle]

depending on what your bot needs, there is a LOT you can do

to reduce discord.js's memory usage

[grizzled raven]

without all the unecessary caching and stuff

[quartz kindle]

but its not that simple

and it might break some parts of your bot

or need workarounds

[grizzled raven]

h

[vernal yoke]

tim dont ban me

weird flex but ok

[grizzled raven]

making a starboard bot i need to keep all my messages 😔

[quartz kindle]

im not intentionally advertising, im just using it as a real life example of what can be done

[near ether]

do the maxlisteners warnings actually matter? i stop every collector i create when im done with it

[quartz kindle]

they do matter

[grizzled raven]

nah im jk

its cool you did so anyway

[vernal yoke]

ikr tim im joking, semi drunk atm

[quartz kindle]

when discord.js creates a collector, it internally sets the eventMaxListeners to +1 and then back when it ends

if youre getting maxlisteners warnings, it might be something outside of discord.js's control

but that by itself will not give you several gb or memory leaks

[crimson vapor]

Tim could you help me with an issue I have found?

[near ether]

hmm

i see

[quartz kindle]

@crimson vapor that usually happens when the data is not actually accessible yet, like in a promise or something

[crimson vapor]

but I can access some of it

and Its an await function

[quartz kindle]

can you show the code?

[crimson vapor]

yeah one sec

[quartz kindle]

@near ether the first thing you should do, is look into discord's intents and see if your bot can use them

intents are used to tell discord to only send you the packets that you actually need, instead of everything

but you need to check what kind of data your bot depends on

[near ether]

almost everything related to it uses reactions

[crimson vapor]

    const guildModel = require('../../models/guilds/Guilds'); //define the mongoDB model
    const _guilds = await guildModel.findOne({ guildId: message.guild.id }); //find the data with the ID of the guild
    if (!_guilds) return; //if no guilds, return

    console.log(_guilds.settings);
    console.log(_guilds.settings.useEmbeds);
    return;``` the console and the code used

[quartz kindle]

check the discord api on intents and study it carefully

another more immediate action you can take, is to enable regular sweeping

which version on discord.js are you on neelio?

[crimson vapor]

and this undefined is confusing because the main version of the bot uses the same exact code

[near ether]

the latest one

do you need a version number?

[crimson vapor]

he does because a lot changed in v12

[quartz kindle]

which mongo library are you using? mongoose?

[crimson vapor]

yes

[near ether]

djs v12.0.1, and i use the regular mongodb lib

[quartz kindle]

@crimson vapor https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18710043/mongoose-mongodb-result-fields-appear-undefined-in-javascript

[crimson vapor]

I will read through this to see why it may be an error

its strange because I have not had this error before

[quartz kindle]

@near ether in v12 you can sweep caches like this: ```js
client.users.cache.sweep(user => someFilter) // remove users that pass the filter
client.users.cache.clear() // remove all users

// the above method works for all of these
client.channels // partially safe, channels will slowly recache themselves, but you need to manually fetch it if you want to send messages to uncached channels
client.guilds // dangerous, will break discord.js without workarounds
client.users // safe, users will recache themselves
guild.members // safe, members will recache themselves
guild.channels // safe, channels will recache themselves
guild.roles // potentially dangerous, will recache themselves but might break permissions
guild.presences // safe, will recache itself
guild.voiceStates // probably safe, never tested
channel.messages // safe, can be controlled in client settings

[crimson vapor]

wow you wrote that in discord?

[quartz kindle]

yes?

[crimson vapor]

well it is just a lot to type in a chat

[near ether]

ahh ok

thanks!!

i appreciate the effort, ill check out what i can do

[quartz kindle]

you can make a setInterval that sweeps every 30 min or so, and check your results

[crimson vapor]

oh wow thank you Tim

[near ether]

in addition to that i was reading up on memwatch, do you think that can help?

https://github.com/marcominetti/node-memwatch

[quartz kindle]

not sure, never used it

[near ether]

alright

[stoic gate]

In Discord.js is there a way for a Bot to tell if a person using the command has blocked the bot?

[quartz kindle]

no

the only way is to try dming them and catch the error

[copper cradle]

what if they have their dms disabled

[amber fractal]

that's why you catch

[copper cradle]

ik

my point is

how r u gonna know if they blocked you

[amber fractal]

you arent.

[copper cradle]

that's my point

[amber fractal]

unless you react to a message of theirs and it errors

then you're blocked

[copper cradle]

ig that one makes sense

but what if the bot can't add reactions

[amber fractal]

I never said that was the solution

[stoic gate]

So ultimately there is no way to stop my bot from getting the DiscordApiError?

[copper cradle]

cuz there's no solution

@stoic gate send the err

[amber fractal]

Bots, like users, are unable to know if they were blocked by someone else. Unless you react to their message and it errors, but sometimes you can't react, so there is no guaranteed solution

[stoic gate]

The error is "DiscordApiError: Reaction Blocked". My bot reacts to a user who uses my command, but the user has me blocked. I have the error caught, I just wanted to know if there is anything I could do to pre-empt the error

Or if I'm just forced to always get DiscordAPIErrors

And catch them

[copper cradle]

well

that's what a catch is for

add .catch(_ => null); at the end of the line where you add the reaction

that way you'll ignore the err

or even better

make it send a message to the channel, that says something along the lines of

"YoU hAvE mE bLoCkEd"

[sudden geyser]

I believe there's an error code for when the bot's blocked, but I don't know if Discord uses it (for reactions).

[sinful belfry]

hey does anyone know if google has any vps services?

[quartz kindle]

yes

they have GCE (google compute engine)

[sinful belfry]

ah ok ty

[copper cradle]

GCP Google Gloud Platform

GCE is a micro service inside GCP

[hushed berry]

[unique nimbus]

waht

[crimson vapor]

Is there any efficient way to combat the slow await function for getting mongoDB data

[amber fractal]

Mine is pretty fast

are you self hosting the mongodb instance?

[crimson vapor]

I am not

Is that something that is an option?

[hushed berry]

is it possible that youre running an inefficient query?

@crimson vapor

[crimson vapor]

Well

Maybe

Just a findOne() searching for a specific ID that equals the member or guild ID

[hushed berry]

How exactly is the data laid out in the database?

is it indexed? etc etc

how many documents are there?

[crimson vapor]

There would be about 30k for users and I’m sorry that I do not know what you mean by indexed

[hushed berry]

If the data is not indexed, it means that mongo needs to scan through your documents manually to find ones that match your query

[crimson vapor]

Yes which probably causes the delay

[balmy knoll]

const { prefix, token } = require('./config.json');

I'm using this in a command file.js (not the main file index.js), but i receive an error message in console

internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:584

How can i fix it?

[crimson vapor]

Check that you didn’t leave the file as Config.json

[hushed berry]

id guess its probably because of the relative paths

and the file.js one is under a folder or something

[balmy knoll]

@crimson vapor No I understand, what do you mean? (sorry, but I'm a beginner)

and the file.js one is under a folder or something
@hushed berry Yes is under a folder

[summer torrent]

../config.json try

[crimson vapor]

So make sure you spelled it correctly and the path is correct

[slender thistle]

There's an async version of mongo?

[crimson vapor]

How would I index my database?

[balmy knoll]

So make sure you spelled it correctly and the path is correct
@crimson vapor Yes, the correct name is config.json, maybe the file.js is under a folder. Solution?

[summer sedge]

in your database manager you can simply hit add index

[crimson vapor]

Simo what IDE do you use, VSCode?

[balmy knoll]

@crimson vapor At the moment, since I'm starting out, I use the glitch website, but once the bot is finished, I would like to pass it on VSCode.

[summer sedge]

vscode is pretty nice, it also has a build in beautifyer

[crimson vapor]

I really like the auto format

I don’t know if that’s normal

[balmy knoll]

@summer sedge yes, i know it. but at the moment i need a solution to my problem 😄

[crimson vapor]

Alright, I can’t say I know how to use glitch but on VSC you can tab the requires

[summer sedge]

Wait you can do that?

[summer torrent]

Does anyone know that mongodb has a statuspage.io page like https://discord.statuspage.io

[summer sedge]

from where are you calling the index.js from?

and where is your config located

full path if possible

[balmy knoll]

wait i send a screen

[summer sedge]

make sure to not send sensitive data

[balmy knoll]

yes

[summer sedge]

like keys. tokens or your name etc

Social security numbers do get auto censored though

[balmy knoll]

i want to use prefix (located in config.json) in help.js

[summer sedge]

8362.463.3736.3736

ah shit

yeah then you use

../config.json

where the 2 dots refer to going back a directory

wait not

the path seems
/commands/utility/help.js?

[balmy knoll]

yes

[summer sedge]

then

[earnest phoenix]

use two ../ for going back two directories

[summer sedge]

../../config.json

[earnest phoenix]

^

[summer sedge]

/path/to/file
This is a path

[balmy knoll]

Thank you all

[summer sedge]

did it work?

[balmy knoll]

yes

[summer sedge]

also if you are going to make your bot public

may I make a suggestion?

Create a database (sqlite)
And store your guildid and prefix in there

then in the future you can make other guilds add their data too and then you have a variable prefix

one for each server

[balmy knoll]

Ok thanks

[crimson vapor]

I suggest learning fs at first

[summer sedge]

fs is not very good for repeatedly calling/writing files

Especially if multiple guilds are going to make the same calls and write their own changes

[crimson vapor]

Ik but it’s something that I liked learning about

[vivid island]

i kinda like rocket-store

[quartz kindle]

there's something called "the right tool for the job"

and equally important: "using the tool correctly"

a bad database design will give you as much trouble as a bad json storage design (ok maybe not that much, but still...)

[hushed berry]

@summer torrent why would it? mongo is a database, not a hosted service

[summer torrent]

ik

i want to fetch current status

[hushed berry]

of what?

your own hosted database?

[amber fractal]

@crimson vapor Sorry I went to eat, yeah you can host mongo yourself if you download it https://www.mongodb.com/download-center/community

[summer torrent]

@hushed berry i mean this https://status.cloud.mongodb.com

[crimson vapor]

I’ll look into it

[amber fractal]

It will increase performance as you dont have to send http requests

I'll run a test to see how fast mine is

[hushed berry]

...for mongodb cloud??

[amber fractal]

No

for hosting the mongo instance yourself

[hushed berry]

i was talking to nmw lol

[amber fractal]

o

[hushed berry]

also, that is just incorrect

mongo doesnt work over http, so it doesnt have to send http requests regardless

[amber fractal]

If it's in the cloud

you need to request to a database

[earnest phoenix]

Can anyone help me create a bot?

[hushed berry]

its just faster because it can work over lan instead across the internet

[summer torrent]

@hushed berry yes i want to add currenct mongodb cloud status to my status command.

[amber fractal]

Well it works over it's own protocol doesn't it?

[hushed berry]

yeah

[crimson vapor]

@earnest phoenix people don’t normally help people make bots, they just help with other people’s errors that they do not know how to fix

[earnest phoenix]

Oh ok

I can create the bot but I have a problem @crimson vapor

[summer torrent]

@earnest phoenix read this https://discordapp.com/channels/264445053596991498/502193464054644737/555644682076684289

[earnest phoenix]

So I have a group on a game and I’m trying to create my own bot on discord so I can do !promote name rank straight away

[crimson vapor]

At that point you could use Mee6 or Dyno custom commands, there are definitely more bots but those are the biggest I think

[earnest phoenix]

yagpdb has really strong custom commands afaik

I don't use either though so take what I say with a grain of salt

[earnest phoenix]

@earnest phoenix Can I add a promotion system from another app#

?

[crimson vapor]

What do you mean?

[earnest phoenix]

So

On a different game

I have a group

There’s ranks in the group

I want to create this command

Like !promote player name rank and it will do it

[crimson vapor]

What is player, name, and rank?

[earnest phoenix]

Example !promote million Private

And it will do it

[crimson vapor]

What would the private mean?

[outer niche]

[quartz kindle]

you have an infinite loop

[outer niche]

    async def postservers(self):
        await self.gbl.post_server_count(self.bot.user.id, len(self.bot.guilds))```this

????

[quartz kindle]

idk, you should know

whats echo.py?

whats the extension gennbotlist?

[outer niche]

Normie was the administrators on that bot list are able to figure out why it's in this and echo.py is my bot

[slender thistle]

Indentation for life

[earnest phoenix]

@crimson vapor private is the rank

[slender thistle]

Also what are those args

(assuming gbl is dblpy Client)

[quartz kindle]

@earnest phoenix well, you have two options:

1. learn programming.
2. use something like discord bot maker

[earnest phoenix]

?

[quartz kindle]

if you want to make your own bot

those are your options

[earnest phoenix]

Nah

I will use someone’s bot

[quartz kindle]

then check the bots people recommended and join their supports servers

they can help you better

[lyric mountain]

@earnest phoenix so you want a level-role bot?

[earnest phoenix]

N

[crimson vapor]

No they want a custom command bot

[earnest phoenix]

Does anyone know the possible reason that my bot is not online? The ready event is emitted and my bot is on two shards. I am using discord.js version 12.0.1

[sudden geyser]

Does your project/node die and/or with a message printed to the console?

[ivory lantern]

Hi guys!

[earnest phoenix]

@sudden geyser no errors

it just says logged in

which is logged with the ready event

I think i found the reason

only Shard 0 loaded

and Shard 1 didn’t load

any solutions to make it load?

my shard code:

const express = require("express");
let app = express();
const bodyParser = require("body-parser")

app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true }));

app.get("/", function(request, response) {
  response.sendFile(__dirname + "/views/index.html");
});

const listener = app.listen(process.env.PORT, function() {
  console.log("Your app is listening on port " + listener.address().port);
});

const Discord = require("discord.js");
const manager = new Discord.ShardingManager("./server.js");
manager.spawn(2);

[lyric mountain]

how many servers is your bot in?

[earnest phoenix]

How to ping a role?

[lyric mountain]

use <@roleidhere>

[crimson vapor]

ok so you are in the wrong server but <@roldID> would work

like KuuHaKu said

[earnest phoenix]

Thanks

[lyric mountain]

not here lol

[crimson vapor]

wrong chat man

[charred jetty]

Lol.. dev chat f... I thought it's testing 1

[earnest phoenix]

Ok so listen

Someone who made a bot wants to get it verified, but cant join the server because his phone is restricted by his parents so he cant add one

Can I vouch for them?

[amber fractal]

you dont even need to be in this server to add a bot

I don't think

Wrong channel though

[crimson vapor]

You do need to be in the server

[slender thistle]

You need to be in this server, that's all

[crimson vapor]

you could add the bot as the owner

[earnest phoenix]

@lyric mountain 1600

[crimson vapor]

wow d.js v12 is going to be a pain to move over to

how have your guys' move been?

[earnest phoenix]

can anyone help me how can i fix these errors easily

[earnest phoenix]

stop using glitch

not a solution.

it very much is

invest into a proper domain and a webserver and then you can talk AdSense and SEO

[flat pelican]

@earnest phoenix Glitch isn’t SEO friendly as it’s an app for making dev, it’s not made for using it in final production

[scarlet bane]

glitch is also most likely on an Adsense blacklist

along with tons of other blacklists

[earnest phoenix]

oh

[flat pelican]

Yeah

[earnest phoenix]

ty

[scarlet bane]

Free stuff wont get you very far

best solution here is to move off to a real platform

tons of cheap solutions out there

[flat pelican]

If you have a real and cool project, you should spend money

You can’t get everything for free

[scarlet bane]

if you have enough visitors to be approved by adsense, you definitely need to move away from Glitch

adsense has a minimum pageview/month requirement

[earnest phoenix]

it just a dashboard of my bot and i have no money for spend

[scarlet bane]

then u cant put adsense anyway

these ads make 1 cent per thousand views, u wont make any money

[flat pelican]

^

[earnest phoenix]

ok

[flat pelican]

Better to make something like a patreon page if you need support from your community

[earnest phoenix]

hmm ty

[pastel plaza]

Hello

[golden condor]

@earnest phoenix you can use infinityfree

Can someone help me, I am trying to switch to heroku hosting but I keep getting an error

[pale vessel]

can you just tell us the error?

[gleaming narwhal]

is it working on your local machine?

[golden condor]

It is working on glitch

Yet not on heroku

[pale vessel]

what error did you get?

[golden condor]

Idk why, but it's tryna install node-gyp

[pale vessel]

what modules did you have on your bot?

[golden condor]

I had tons

[pale vessel]

one of them needs node-gyp

or some of them

[golden condor]

What is the version of node0gyp

[pale vessel]

can you send the error here*

[golden condor]

https://discordapp.com/channels/264445053596991498/272764566411149314/685751093829173403

[pale vessel]

nm i got it

i thought you sent the bot code

integer@1.0.7

it's the module that's causing the error

[golden condor]

Oh

@pale vessel I can't find that module anywhere

[pale vessel]

a module needs that module

yep

[golden condor]

I need to install integer?

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh

[pale vessel]

yes but that's the error you would get

[golden condor]

Whaaaa

[pale vessel]

it's trying to install integer because it was needed by a module and integer needs node-gyp and it throws that error while it was trying to install it

[golden condor]

I don't have node-gyp?

[finite bough]

try installing it using heroku console

[golden condor]

Ok

[finite bough]

lmao

[golden condor]

bash: npm: command not found

[finite bough]

bash?

[pale vessel]

just run it normally

[finite bough]

I mean the website heroku console

not gitbash

[golden condor]

?

[pale vessel]

click on open console on heroku

[finite bough]

console on heroku's website

[pale vessel]

and type npm i node-gyp

[golden condor]

Not run cosole?

[finite bough]

[golden condor]

I tried that

And for some reason my dyno won't show up either

[hoary elm]

$ heroku config:set NPM_CONFIG_PRODUCTION=true YARN_PRODUCTION=true 

@golden condor ^^

[golden condor]

Where do I do that

[hoary elm]

It installs whatevers in the package by default

[golden condor]

And what does it mean

oh thanks

Where do I run this?

[hoary elm]

To add env variables go to your Heroku app > settings scroll to reveal config vars and add them there

how did i obtain the value of VcID using this webpage thing again?
room.html?VcID=596690518

[golden condor]

Is that right @hoary elm

It gives an error

[hoary elm]

@golden condor iirc you are supposed to replace CONFIG_PRODUCTION with something like install_modulename And there should be a = at the end been a while since I've used Heroku honestly but https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/nodejs-support#package-installation this might help better

[golden condor]

Should I use this

"scripts": {
"heroku-prebuild": "echo This runs before Heroku installs your dependencies.",
"heroku-postbuild": "echo This runs afterwards."
}

@peak venture details please

what are you trying to accomplish

[golden condor]

@hoary elm is that right or do i need to do smth else

[peak venture]

@pale vessel obtain parameter from VcID

[hoary elm]

@golden condor that's only if you have a buildscript.

[golden condor]

A buildscript?

[pale vessel]

using what?

[peak venture]

express nodejs?

[pale vessel]

req.query.VcID

[finite bough]

imagine scripting a bot

[golden condor]

@hoary elm is there any way I can do it please help

I am so confused

config:set NPM_CONFIG_PRODUCTION=false YARN_PRODUCTION=false

[hoary elm]

Honestly just adding the module name and version to your package and redeploying would probably be easiest.

[golden condor]

I did

It didn't work

[hoary elm]

What did you add?
