dont make a big multipurpose bot
find a purpose
and find commands useful to that purpose
:p
hm?
say actual sentences
flat pelican
no
earnest phoenix
what about it?
flat pelican
have you seen pokécord
earnest phoenix
those bots that have a purpose but omg moderation! fun! are annoying af
looks at mee6
other bots have it
the problem with those giant bots, is that no one has everything
so you have to add another giant bot to get the feature you're lacking
so then you end up with TWO moderation bots
TWO music bots
and 50 bots that have a freaking hug command
yea but
why have a ban command
unless you make an entire moderation system
summer torrent
spam command?
earnest phoenix
yea or that
summer torrent
@earnest phoenix that is api abuse
summer torrent
it is abuse
modest maple
that maxes your rate limit instantly
summer torrent
imagine spamming spam command
modest maple
that is abuse
earnest phoenix
you do know we all have bots on here right? and sorta know what we're talking about?
dont spam the discord api,
modest maple
@earnest phoenix Two people could do it and get your bot ratelimited easily
summer torrent
little
earnest phoenix
they dont have a spam command
summer torrent

modest maple
^^
earnest phoenix
ok and?
summer torrent
ratelimit is not a global
modest maple
1000 Times a minute is fine globally
earnest phoenix
the bot isnt ogiing a
the bot isnt going
a
aa
a
a
a
try that sometime in a dm
watch what discord does
modest maple
its 500/s for global rate limit across all actions approx
not to mention
bots like mee6 and dyno for all their logging stuff use webhooks
earnest phoenix
there we go again.
modest maple
because they have a higher ratelimit
earnest phoenix
k
but still its like wjsjdfb
try like naming the bit
bot*
instead of saying "this bot"
and then take it up with a mod.
because again.
that IS discord api abuse
search api abuse in:mod-log in discord search
and read a bit
right there.

so yea
dont do it

we're not trying to diss you
spamming a message is api abuse

Can y'all calm down
earnest phoenix
oh i am calm xD
this mans is just being very difficult
Sometimes they have to learn the hard way lol
flat pelican
There is extremely no need to make a bot spam a channel with stupid messages
it is an API abuse
earnest phoenix
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
thats coming from a mod that decides the fate of your bot.
flat pelican
and we can't monitor the 10k bots that we have in our list
if a bot has a command like that, we can ask them to remove it
simply report it

report it

*1000 servers per shard
pale vessel
which one are you correcting?
(ik it's the latter but some people might get confused)
earnest phoenix
you can't choose how many servers you have on a shard, you're forced to shard when you hit 2.5k guilds, which and how many guilds go to each shard is discord's decision following the formula (guild_id >> 22) % num_shards == shard_id
tight plinth
thats not the bot, thats the bot app
solemn quartz
but how?
tight plinth
oauth
solemn quartz
how do they do that?
tight plinth
discord dev portal
earnest phoenix
it shows up in your apps once you authorize an app via oauth
Hmm... @solemn quartz are you talking about making a bot or the oauth?
earnest phoenix
@solemn quartz so wdym by how do they do that?... The oauth?
earnest phoenix
look at the url above
summer torrent
"Know what servers you're in"
solemn quartz
this?
pale vessel
probably for the dashboard
earnest phoenix
oauth is used in web apps to get a bearer token for your account to access certain endpoints on your behalf

grizzled raven
wait
ok so
if i had partial messages, would i recieve messageDelete/Update events from a guild on a different shard?
wait do you recieve events across shards to begin with?
pale vessel
yes
grizzled raven
so you can recieve a message event on each shard for one message?
earnest phoenix
no
DMs are always on shard 0
you'd get MESSAGE_CREATE from a guild on whichever shard the guild is supposed to be in
based on the already mentioned formula above
earnest phoenix
what
yes they are
shard 0 will be the one handling dms
since they're always sent out to only shard 0
a lot of libraries unify sharded clients into one
so any events you get on any shard are forwarded through one client
digital ibex
how can i make js client.commands.execute(message, client, args) not be a function and be something like ```js
client.commands.execute: (message, client, args)
the second one gives a syntax error, how can i make it not give one and make it function?any ideas?
earnest phoenix
what
digital ibex
like
i am getting this error, client.commands.execute(.....) is not a function
so
i need to make it not be a function and be smthing like the second one, client.commands.execute: (message, client, args)
if that makes more sense...
slow elk
Is it even a real function? I don't think it is
digital ibex
yes..
slow elk
I just grab the command from the collection and use .run(), but eh
digital ibex
wdym?
earnest phoenix
@digital ibex what are you trying to do with that function? Can you show us an actual screenshot of it?
quartz kindle
sounds like an X Y problem
quartz kindle
tell us what you really want to do
quartz kindle
ok, so client.commands is a collection
digital ibex
yeah
quartz kindle
it is not one command, it does not have an execute
it is many commands, each command with their own execute
digital ibex
mhm
quartz kindle
so client.commands.get(command).execute
digital ibex
oh
quartz kindle
you have to get/find the command first, so you can execute it
digital ibex
yeah
ok, im getting another error:
cannot read property of 'name' of undefined
here: client.commands.get(command.name);
const command =
client.commands.get(commandName) ||
client.commands.find((cmd) => cmd.aliases && cmd.aliases.includes(commandName));```const commandName = args.shift().toLowerCase();
sleek vale
how can i make
js client.commands.execute(message, client, args)not be a function and be something like ```js
client.commands.execute: (message, client, args)the second one gives a syntax error, how can i make it not give one and make it function? @digital ibex
i think what you're trying to do is to have something like
module.exports = {
execute: ({ message.client.args }) => {
[command code here]
}
}
in a separate .js and then you assign that to client.commands and just call the exported function with client.commands.get('commandname').execute({ message, client, guilds })
sorry if thats not it
digital ibex
uh
i was getting the error in my command handler file, not the command file
thank you anyways
quartz kindle
that means the command was not found
have you tried doing console.log(commandName) to see if the command is correct?
also, why are you trying to get the command again?
let command = client.commands.get(commandName) || client.commands.find(c => c.aliases && c.aliases.includes(commandName));
if(command) {
command.execute()
} else {
// command not found
}```how to start up making my own website ?

Learn a coding language for websites like js and use a framework/web server
earnest phoenix
@prime cliff i have not learnt to use frame work or web server
prime cliff
Better get learning then 
earnest phoenix
@prime cliff from where can u plz guide me pal
quartz kindle
first of all you need a server
do you have any sort of hosting?
ie: a webhost, or a vps
prime cliff
Glitch supports web servers too i think
earnest phoenix
hm
quartz kindle
or a service like glitch/heroku
earnest phoenix
yep
quartz kindle
which one do you have?
prime cliff
@earnest phoenix https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=js+web+framework
quartz kindle
well, you can use either of them
first you need to install a webserver
if you're using javascript and node.js, a popular webserver you can use is express.js
earnest phoenix
express.js is used for web development ??
compact oriole
express.js is a backend
quartz kindle
express is a webserver
digital ibex
tim, nothing logs when i log commandName
compact oriole
you need html for frontend
quartz kindle
a website is made of many different things that work together.
compact oriole
^ yea
quartz kindle
at a basic level, there is a "backend" (the server, that people connect to to load the website) and the "frontend" (what people see in the browser)

compact oriole
true
quartz kindle
also, what is that first command at the beginning?
digital ibex
oh nevermind the first command
and
i am doing it bc i was getting errors saying cannot read property of 'commands' of undefined even when i defined it in the try and catch, so.... i defined it with a type
quartz kindle
you just made it worse lmao
you are basically destroying your entire client, and your command handler
no wonder why it never finds any command
quartz kindle
assuming your command handler is properly done, all you need is to check if a command exists
but i guess its not properly done lol
show your entire code i guess
quartz kindle
digital ibex
yeah....
digital ibex
i was getting so many errors and that was the only solution
ao
what
so, delete everything in the try thing?
digital ibex
o
ok
what do i do with the catch (e) {}
then?
Tim, https://hasteb.in/obokenig.js like that?
quartz kindle
yes
quartz kindle
where is it not a thing?
quartz kindle
didnt i tell you before that the execute function should be a property?
digital ibex
oh yeah

module.exports = {

guys ive just started out with making a discord bot but for some reason when i use the event "on_raw_reaction_add(payload)" and print the payload i dont get the emoji id im at a total loss
crimson vapor
What language?
slender thistle
refer to the docs, see what the payload actually returns, see its properties
silent shore
i mean i have been
crimson vapor
Thank you for saying python, some people just say Russian or English
silent shore
ill give it another look
haha yes i am a programmer i just never did discord bots before
modest maple
@silent shore on_raw only gives Ids nothing else
silent shore
when i print it i get this <RawReactionActionEvent message_id=692747529560784959 user_id=210886704842670081 channel_id=692726432018858066 guild_id=692726210849144922 emoji=<PartialEmoji animated=False name='�💩' id=None> event_type='REACTION_ADD' member=<Member id=210886704842670

modest maple
yh
silent shore
see the id="none"
modest maple
cuz its unicode
silent shore
how am i ever supposed to see what emoji is
modest maple
only custom emoji's have Ids
silent shore
ohh
silent shore
so if i just do emoji == "💩" it works
slender thistle
str() the emoji
modest maple
^^
slender thistle
so that it will be converted to its name if it's unicode
slender thistle
and if it's a custom emoji, it'll be converted into <:name:id>
silent shore
okay sorry guys ive wasted alot of time on this and its still not working can someone type it for me i must be a retard just to be sure im not fucking up the syntax
modest maple
whats ur code
silent shore
@client.event
async def on_raw_reaction_add(payload):
#channel = get(payload.guild.text_channels, name="welcome")
#print(channel)
print(str(payload.emoji.name))
ive tried some other syntax stuff
but not really working
ignore the # stuff
i just want to print the reaction in string so : poop :
slender thistle
Eh, you don't need to call str() on stuff you print since it's automatically called already
It'll be received as a unicode emoji
silent shore
so if i store it in a var before itll print out as ": poop :"?
silent shore
soo how do i get it in str
silent shore
soo i just compare the unicode with some other unicode
slender thistle
Yeah

yh

How do you do to get server membercount on your website?
crimson vapor
what do you mean?
slender sleet
The server MemberCount
crimson vapor
oh
slender thistle
You send a request to top.gg with the info about your bot's amount of servers and/or shards
slate oyster
They have their own bot
earnest phoenix
i'm so confused
stop being so abstract with your questions and describe them instead so we don't have to guess
slate oyster
you add their bot to your server
slate oyster
before getting on the server list
And then their bot counts your users
and tells the server list site
slate oyster
I just told you
slender sleet
On my website @quartz kindle
slate oyster
If you wanted it on your own site
You'd have to make your own bot
That counts users for you
and sends it to your site
quartz kindle
then make your bot count it. give it an api that your website can request, or make it available somewhere that your website can use
slender sleet
But i don't have the same server
slate oyster
Yes
Which is ehy you use your own bot rather than dbl's
So you can make it route to you own server
earnest phoenix
But i don't have the same server
hence whygive it an api that your website can requestwas said
or you can do it the other way around
it doesn't matter which end POSTs

valid holly
@strange gyro
widget works just fine
@tight plinth handling everything into one file isn't going to clog your code ?
tight plinth
idk
valid holly
Also if you have line 2.000 for an event, it will use more resources to read through and translate to machine code
And load them when needed, export global objects you're likely to use
You can also use ES6's import
quartz kindle
the resources needed to compile big file vs small file is negligible compared to the resources needed to read multiple files from disk
the reason to go for multiple files is for maintainability and ease of use, not for performance

so when the user hits the necessary keyword and prefix, an alphabetical list of monsters appear
and there will be many monsters so having them appear all at once is too much. Thus I want to also include something that allows the user to flip through 'pages'
valid holly
Well there's more to that than making a list.
First have an array.
var monsterlist = [
"Monster1",
"Monster2",
"You",
"Monster4"
];
Then:
monsterlist.sort();
This will sort everything alphabetically and in ascending order, placing You as the first monster in the list.
sort() is an Array method.

How much bandwidth should my bot use?
valid holly
Then displaying the actual list you can join everything by \n
pale vessel
i'm pretty sure Y comes after M
tight plinth
Lol
valid holly
sort() is sorting strings alphabetically in an ascending order.
var x = [
"B",
"C",
"A"
];
x.sort(); // [ "A", "B", "C" ]
x.sort().reverse(); // [ "C", "B", "A" ]
okay
what do you mean by join everything by \n? isn't \n mean newline or am I thinking of something else?
pale vessel
x.sort() is not needed
topaz fjord
You can join by \n
pale vessel
yes \n means newline
loud salmon
I need to have the monsters numbered so that when user chooses a number, it will display the corresponding monster's stats.

How much bandwidth should my bot use? I don't really care how much it uses, but I would like to know why it uses 50kb/s. My bot is a text bot (not a music bot) with 36 servers.
valid holly
Then easiest method to slice info in a nice format (recommend Embed Message)
var monsterlist = [
"Chair",
"Monster",
"Ducktape",
"Apple"
];
var x = monsterlist.sort(); // [ "Apple", "Chair", "Ducktape", "Monster" ]
x.slice(0,2); // [ "Apple", "Chair" ]
x.slice(2,); // [ "Ducktape", "Monster" ]
Send a message with first items, then update on request with the rest
There are more methods of doing it, but this is basically simple.
Ex: You'ld have a list of 100 items, divide it by 5 and have 20 items per "page".
valid holly
You can for loop the array, iterate through elements, have an integer inside a variable that you add 20 every time it receives update requests from user input, and stop it when i >= array.length
Then slice with the integer from i
loud salmon
OK
earnest phoenix
how do i highlight a text in purple?
i'm aware that you can use syntax highlight, but it doesn't seem you can get purple through that method`?
copper cradle
std::cout << "no, you can't" << std::endl
is there any other metod to color code text?
earnest phoenix
seems kinda counter intuitive since names can be any color
valid holly
You can make it like this, here is an idea:
Make 2nd embed the list, play an animated gif that basically "loads" the next page and update embed with gif, timeout 1 sec then update with list
valid holly
Nah
Too much hussle
@loud salmon
Made embed the same size as the gif
12 lines + footer 60 invisible spaces
When you update there will be no change in embed size
But this is purely optional, just an idea to make it unique.
You can also have a fade effect on the loading gif, for smoother slideshow
But yeah good luck with your code.
Omfg when I'm high I have the best ideas @tidal parrot
valid holly
What if you'ld make gifs out of a movie, then update embed message with each gif sequentially to play the movie
Short films ofc

ooo
valid holly
Update them and have "cinema slots"
not more than 50 people watching the movie across client

how will you ensure that the gifs transition smoothly into each other?

hi
when i use my eval command i get this error args is not defined when it is
any ideas?
execute: async (message, client, args) => {
try {
const { token, prefix } = require('.././/..//config.json');
// const args = message.content.slice(prefix.length).split(/ +/);``` like, i defined it both here but stillit says args isn't defined
valid holly
@loud salmon Here is more lmao
Have items as emotes for each monster (I put pepes cause that's what I had) then have them highlighted with hover info and clickable link to the monster docs
earnest phoenix
@digital ibex remove the //
valid holly
earnest phoenix
execute: async (message, client, args) => {
const args = message.content.slice(prefix.length).split(/ +/);
try {

valid holly
how many directories do you need to back ?
earnest phoenix
ik i have never seen that type of directories
earnest phoenix
that's an bad idea
earnest phoenix
nothing as long as it works
digital ibex
also
fs.readdirSync(`./commands/${dir}/`).filter((file) => file.endsWith('.js'));
```why is this only reading files which is is only `.js`?Because you put the filter to do so ?
valid holly
If it's a command handler just:
const command = "example"; // This would be your command from user input
require("./p/a/t/h/to/folder/with/commands" + command + ".js");
Idk I'm too high
zenith terrace
un momento
fs.readdir("./commands/", (err, files) => {
if (err) console.error(err);
let jsfiles = files.filter(f => f.split(".").pop() === "js");```@digital ibex

I still don't know what's causing the problem. Any suggestions? My bot is very simple. It sends, edits, and deletes its own messages. Sometimes sends images, and adds reactions to its own messages.
sudden geyser
Can you show the code that's causing the error?
earnest phoenix
i'm guessing it's sending a message
since it's a POST request to the messages endpoint
gopi, are you sure you're actually checking for those permissions?
be sure to prioritize channel overwrite permissions over guild permissions

function Eq(configs, bassboostgain) {
console.log(bassboostgain)

})
return tmp
}```when I input 1
into bassboost gain
it works
but when I insert 0 again
its the same output
any idea why?
It just adds more on
and doesn't reset it
like the "const" implies

Trying to make it find the command handler but I don't know how to put it correctly. What you have to do is go into the file handlers, then go into the command.js one. How would I properly do it?
Code:
const Command = require("../handlers/command"),
Error:
[2020-03-26 19:10:06]: [Error]: Error: Cannot find module '../handlers/command'
For js.
nevermind, i fixed.
slate oyster
My old version of my bot has a help command
but I dropped support in the rewrite
It was underused
slate oyster
Mentioned it to another server too
wide ridge
be sure to prioritize channel overwrite permissions over guild permissions
@earnest phoenix do you have any code snippets on how to prioritize channel overwrites?
earnest phoenix
Again, why the fuck would you drop your help command?
It's like giving you a new closet without any instructions
Or a car without even knowing how to drive

Good point^

Your bot won't even get accepted if it doesn't have a help command lol

I've done a function that search a guild member by its username and return member. The problem is that if member exists every member propriety returns undefined. Here is an output of the function if I search myself
it works, but member.user is undefined

why me
zenith terrace
Cause yes
pale vessel
it's for image url (or an attachment)
zenith terrace
I mean it can be the display avatar one
summer torrent
avatarURL()
zenith terrace
it can be either at times
earnest phoenix
So i have a command called userinfo also serverinfo but it shows the still icons and avatars of the users and servers but when the users or server has an animated icon or avatar it still shows a still image of the animated avatar or icon's first frame... and it doesn't show the animated gif used as icon or avatar... What's the code to fix that?...
I use displayAvatarURL() for users and
iconURL() for server icon.....
(discord.js v12.0.2)
valid holly
URL({
dynamic: true,
size: 1024,
format: "png"
});
dynamic suits for your problem here, as it returns .gif format for animated and it defaults to .png as mentioned in format if !gif
marble juniper
and also look at the docs
earnest phoenix
Oh nice... Thx for the help...
valid holly
Recommend using png as default format, a lot of people use avatars with transparent bg
earnest phoenix
/transparency
valid holly
^ better for graphic avatars
valid holly

dynamic is set by default to false so this is why you need to set it first

Yup always use webp for Discord avatar in bot commands

You are having an #memes-and-media discussion in development
valid holly
setPresence in v12
marble juniper
also why do you need the .toLocalString()
golden condor
Thx
valid holly
Instead of setActivity
golden condor
What about the setStatus
marble juniper
its the same
valid holly
setPresence({
activity {},
status: ""
});
https://corynth.is-inside.me/2AZaFpld.png That didn't work either
valid holly
setPresence({
activity {
name: "your game"
},
status: "your status"
});
Like that
client.user.setPresence({
activity: {
name: c!help | ${client.guilds.cache.size} servers | ${client.users.cache.size.toLocaleString()} users},
status: "dnd"});
valid holly
👍
valid holly
you sure on v12 ?
marble juniper
did you stop the bot and restart it
golden condor
Yes
valid holly
console log it yes
but also .then
No need to use toLocaleString() as it will convert to string
it's inside ``

.then(console.log("success")).catch(e => console.error(e))
