dusky marsh
are you running the bot on your own pc or some vps
dusky marsh
hm, ive seen this error once before and it was a problem with building the native module on one platform and then using those compiled modules on another platform
ex. copying the bots files straight from say, a windows machine, to a linux machine
pine aspen
Ye.
That's what I'm doing.
I need to upload the node_modules from my PC to the Machine as the npm doesn't work on the machine.
dusky marsh
ah, yeah you cant do that
pine aspen
Is there anyway i can do to fix it?
dusky marsh
npm probably has some rebuild command
pine aspen
I'll send the error.

could i ask what version of npm and node youre runnin
opaque kite
node v10.x
dusky marsh
hm
im reading online that you might wanna try appending --no-bin-links to the install command. overall however, this sounds like a permissions issue in that your user account doesnt have write access to that directory. i dont have confident working knowledge of linux however to help much further with that. maybe try googling about linux permissions and how to change them

Oh interesting
I restarted it a few more times, and it finally connected after a few minutes

Not connecting or timing out

could anyone maybe give me tips on how to optimize the discord.js caching
as wel all know discord.js caches a lot
quartz kindle
the easy way is regular sweeping
the hard way is modifying it
for sweeping check this https://discordapp.com/channels/264445053596991498/272764566411149314/685609266488410112
twilit rapids
I guess you can use intents to block certain events, which results in those things never being cached

Intents sure lower CPU and RAM usage if that's what you're looking for

Because it's the name instead of something like the instance. Like doing (async () => {}).constructor === (async () => {}).constructor was true (and AsyncFunction is not taken). It's more one of those situations that'll never happen, but not bullet-proof

@hidden spindle the permission the bot will have when it joins the guild
naive mantle
๐ฅณ
hidden spindle
But if i click the checkbox i will automatically have it?
finite bough
not u
hidden spindle
Because it has a permission integer field below
hidden spindle
cool
i was wondering because since it gave me a integer, i thought i had to use some command with that integer to actually make the bot have admin privileges
thanks shiemi
finite bough
np
earnest phoenix
it was a value which determines which permissions should the bot role have when it's invited
you shouldn't check admin and instead check perms which your bot needs
having those values in the invite url however does not guarantee that your bot will actually have the perms on invite

and that is EXACTLY WHY you need to learn the concepts themselves, the docs are going off by the knowledge they assume you already have (which YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO HAVE)
and which
you do not
naive mantle
saying that discourages me because i dont have any docs that tell me how
finite bough
pie
earnest phoenix
hey you know what's encouraging? learning the damn language
pale vessel
cry is right but sadly these arguments shouldn't be continued here but DMs
finite bough
if u tell me the purpose of every line in ur command handler
pale vessel
ez
finite bough
i will make a better command handler myself
naive mantle
i already deleted my command handler along with all my code
sudden geyser
letting them learn themselves is better than screaming to learn the language imo
pale vessel
wt
sudden geyser
that's your choice
finite bough
._.
naive mantle
yall just discouraged me and now i dont wanna do it
pale vessel
that's actually
naive mantle
because apparently ill never know the language
pale vessel
it starts with a p
finite bough
pure negativity
earnest phoenix
that's wrong, you said you don't want to learn the language and that you do not need to learn it.
pale vessel
and now he give up
finite bough
pls stop fighting
naive mantle
because i never learned how to understand it
BRO CAN SOMEONE JUST GIVE ME A DARN INTRO
pale vessel
ummm that's why you learn
naive mantle
give intro
pale vessel
w3schools xD
finite bough
xD
naive mantle
just give me an intro
pale vessel
even that works
finite bough
actually
sudden geyser
w3schools is a bad source for learning JS. Use a site like Codecademy, but learn to browser docs like Mozilla. Find out how to learn it your way, it's not a straight line and will take a while.
naive mantle
i like how when i ask for the docs you dont give me then anymore
earnest phoenix
there are a ton, and i mean millions, of courses online which are able to help you understand the language better. we aren't here to help you learn it, we're here to help you with a problem which is expected of you that you had already diagnosed it
earnest phoenix
no
finite bough
an intro
naive mantle
thank you
sudden geyser
even worse
earnest phoenix
stop using youtube tutorials
finite bough
shh
earnest phoenix
finite bough
better than fighting ww3 here
pale vessel
do not watch YouTube tutorials.
finite bough
oopsie
pale vessel
what happened to that thing
naive mantle
a youtube tutorial taught me how events work
pale vessel
yikes
naive mantle
so i just forget that knowledge
pale vessel
bad idea
finite bough
then i started reading the docs
naive mantle
yeah but whenever i do everyone gets mad at me because i shouldnt
shadow shale
Hello how can i make simple chatbot? Ping me with answer
finite bough
@shadow shale depends wdym by chat bot
pale vessel
watch them outdated information
finite bough
@pale vessel shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
naive mantle
really
shadow shale
@shadow shale depends wdym by chat bot
@finite bough i mean like it will sort off chat with you
pale vessel
docs is the most reliable and up to date source
naive mantle
youre trying to make me learn outdated
earnest phoenix
the whole point of programming is that you're free to logically resolve problem in your own way. using youtube tutorials does not help you think nor develop skills for yourself, you're just being a sheep, like you are in school, doing what you're being told to do without any explanation as to why and any concepts.
if you cannot resolve logical problems yourself and think logically, in steps, programming isn't for you.
naive mantle
someone just give me the docs already
earnest phoenix
to what
earnest phoenix
what
finite bough
@shadow shale do u have basic discord.js knowledge?
pale vessel
JavaScript lol
finite bough
@naive mantle https://discordjs.guide/
naive mantle
bro
pale vessel
ah yes
naive mantle
which one do i use
shadow shale
@shadow shale do u have basic discord.js knowledge?
@finite bough um no if its javascript yee and i mqinly developing in python
naive mantle
ok
finite bough
@shadow shale its ok try searching for some chat bot modules in python
earnest phoenix
mozilla has amazingly written documentation which goes over almost every aspect in javascript
earnest phoenix
tldr
reading comprehension; read with understanding
think about what you're reading
yes
i need eye bleach everytime i enter this channel
earnest phoenix
i've never used it pie, but you're free to look up reviews
i use codecademy for a lot of programming courses i take
since my school covers the membership
earnest phoenix
courses != documentation

JavaScript is arguably more difficult to learn than related technologies such as HTML and CSS. Before attempting to learn JavaScript, you are strongly advised to get familiar with at least these two technologies first, and perhaps others as well. Start by working through the following modules:
Getting started with the Web
Introduction to HTML
Introduction to CSS
finite bough
skip css and html
naive mantle
ok
earnest phoenix
you can skip over html and css
earnest phoenix
nope
naive mantle
now im actually getting into something i need to know
JavaScript contains a standard library of objects, such as Array, Date, and Math, and a core set of language elements such as operators, control structures, and statements. Core JavaScript can be extended for a variety of purposes by supplementing it with additional objects; for example:
quartz kindle
yes, learning about data types is the single most important thing in any language
if you know what kind of data you're dealing with, you know what you can do with it
quartz kindle
client side is a browser
server side is what gives information for a browser to connect to
ie: the server that contains the website
naive mantle
so client side cannot run without server side?
naive mantle
ok
quartz kindle
if you make a client, that does not connect to anything, it doesnt need a server
naive mantle
This means that in the browser, JavaScript can change the way the webpage (DOM) looks. And, likewise, Node.js JavaScript on the server can respond to custom requests from code written in the browser.
quartz kindle
node.js can be both
quartz kindle
no
quartz kindle
javascript is a language that requires an "interpreter", which is a program that executes the code. node.js is an interpreter, browsers are an interpreter, everything that you use javascript on, is a javascript interpreter.
A server means it receives requests and returns information, a client means it requests information and receives it.
visual studio code is a code editor / IDE (integrated development environment), it is not a server. visual studio code saves your code and tests it using an interpreter like node.js to show you the result. it doesnt give or receive information from anywhere, it just takes the code and tests it using an interpreter
naive mantle
so node.js is the server side
quartz kindle
when you see artices and tutorials about clients and servers, they are talking about one of the possible uses of javascript, browsers and node.js, but a lot more can be done, node.js is not strictly for servers although many use it as a server
in the case of discord bots, node.js becomes both a client and a server
its a client for the discord API, but also a server that can receive and return requests if you want to
naive mantle
quartz kindle
the library "discord.js" is a discord client
naive mantle
this is what its teaching me rn
outer niche
raise CommandInvokeError(exc) from exc
discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: Forbidden: 403 Forbidden (error code: 50013): Missing Permissions```the console is the primary output of any javascript program, whatever interpreter you're using to run it, will show the results using the console
in your case, youre using the browser as the interpreter, and the browser's console as the output
if you use node.js, you will be using node.js as the interpreter, and the terminal where node is running as the output
pale vessel
sorry to interrupt you Tim, but when will this course end?
quartz kindle
who knows
pale vessel
js is a lot
pale vessel
that's mostly for websites
naive mantle
its teaching me html. instead of. javascript.
quartz kindle
alert only exists in browsers, it does not exist in node.js
pale vessel
which is what js is intended to
naive mantle
yea
still mango
So I reported a bot on another server, how long does a review take.
earnest phoenix
SPA as your bot page ๐ฉ
naive mantle
it says saying use strict does this
``1. Massively improve performance.
-
Prevent stupid semantics in JavaScript that trip up beginners.
-
Prevent code snippets executed in the console from interacting with one-another (e.g., having something created in one console execution being used for a different console execution).``
naive mantle
so like
if you have big code chunks
they dont interact in a different way
than intended?
still mango
Ohh I was reporting a bot, the report said to join this server and a moderator would message me if more information was needed.
naive mantle
@pale vessel am i right or wrong
still mango
Just didn't know how long that process took
pale vessel
strict mode basically doesn't allow you to use poor features
floral salmon
hello! Can somebody may help me with the bot? OAO
pale vessel
OK
naive mantle
so its like, ew no. here, do the harder version
crimson vapor
When bot cannot send embeds, they error. What is a way to check if a bot can embed links? if you check guild-wide, it does not apply for specific channels
sudden geyser
What do you need help with (Akaya)?
pale vessel
do the harder and safer version, yes
naive mantle
ok
floral salmon
i just got this bot a few minutes ago for my server, but is it able to "lock" a command for users?
sudden geyser
yeah as long as it's not locking a large portion for something like vote-locking
naive mantle
so variables have to start with a letter, _ or $
floral salmon
how do i do that?
pale vessel
this ain't php
floral salmon
no, i just wanna lock the ".xpadd"
pale vessel
it starts with var
floral salmon
so its not abused in the server.
naive mantle
yea
pale vessel
that's just variable
naive mantle
and then the identifier
pale vessel
constant uses const
naive mantle
must start with a letter, _ or $
pale vessel
there's no such thing
naive mantle
``You use variables as symbolic names for values in your application. The names of variables, called identifiers, conform to certain rules.
A JavaScript identifier must start with a letter, underscore (_), or dollar sign ($). Subsequent characters can also be digits (0โ9).``
sudden geyser
how you lock it is how you set up the restriction. We don't know how your commands work or how you're setting them up
floral salmon
i use the basic commands from here so far: https://nadeko.bot/commands
sacred knoll
I don't use variables.
pale vessel
yes
naive mantle
IM ACTUALLY LEARNING OMG
warm marsh
Semi colons are required at all in JS.
lyric mountain
@floral salmon wrong server
vestal star
What should I call a command that finds you a teammate in any game?
pale vessel
i still use them because I'm used to coding php
lyric mountain
Semi colons are required at all in JS.
@warm marsh they don't, but they're recommended
pale vessel
and PHP is quite strict with their semicolons
floral salmon
omg, i am retarded.... ๐คฆโโ๏ธ thank you tho!
warm marsh
Meh, Developer preference.
lyric mountain
PHP is semicolons
sacred knoll
Variables are code smell. Just use registers.
quartz kindle
php and semicolons is fucking stupid
quartz kindle
but yeah, most of my js has semicolons because of php
warm marsh
Most strong typed languages are strict on their semi-colons.
earnest phoenix
semicolons make your code more readable
lyric mountain
that's due to machine-code generation
quartz kindle
yes
pale vessel
same. i just felt like putting them because it wouldn't feel completed without them
just me
sacred knoll
Don't use compilers they get in the way.
lyric mountain
what?
sacred knoll
Just write some boot sector code & edit ram in hex.
pale vessel
you're declaring it
earnest phoenix
pft, imagine programming, what peasants.
for THE most optimal performance i send voltage signals to my cpu
pale vessel
you didn't assign anything to it yet
pale vessel
yes
warm marsh
Also read into var, let, const. Usually using let and const is better due to it being scoped and not in global.
naive mantle
wowowowwowowowo
pale vessel
no
lyric mountain
compilers are one of your best friends
earnest phoenix
that's a comparison
earnest phoenix
assigning is done with a single equals sign
pale vessel
concatenation would be += IIRC
sacred knoll
Anyway everyone knows prolog is the best for writing bots.
lyric mountain
prolog?
sacred knoll
Imagine not writing your bots in prolog lol
pale vessel
prologue in games?
naive mantle
will const input; not work because a const's value cannot be changed?
naive mantle
bro. im learning
sacred knoll
const in JS is vey weak
naive mantle
what
sacred knoll
Pretty sure JS const is only const for primitives
lyric mountain
like, you might have gotten corona.
naive mantle
WHO ME
pale vessel
we don't need your rambling here
naive mantle
yea
lyric mountain
constants are more performance-friendly depending on where you use them
sacred knoll
I just like having a bit of fun
warm marsh
Fun is for #memes-and-media
naive mantle
const input; will be undefined no matter what because a constant's value cannot be changed right
sacred knoll
Not writing code is more performance-friendly.
lyric mountain
they also work a lot better when defining values that'll be used in the whole code
const input;will be undefined no matter what because a constant's value cannot be changed right
@naive mantle yes
warm marsh
Pie it will throw an error.
sacred knoll
I can write no code in O(0)
warm marsh
Due to not being initialised.
