quartz kindle
as i said, literally just updated it and it works
dont copy and paste things in package.json, always install using the "add package" button
rustic veldt
thanks
neat ingot
omg wth
rustic veldt
but the boot is still not open
amber fractal
https://oliy.is-just-a.dev/ab7mdd_3853.png well aint that nice
neat ingot
yea i think for my next project ill certainly be using this uws to try it out 🙂
ty for the info guys

ok thanks :)
solar quarry
how do i get my bot to send info to the discord bot list website for server count
gilded plankBOT
@solar quarry
delicate zephyr
@solar quarry Also what lang?
solar quarry
node.js
solar quarry
what file do i put it in for it to run
pale vessel
your event file
solar quarry
so index.js
viral spade
you can try in the bots main file at first, you may want to set a cronjob that periodically sends the info
maybe thats included int he package
solar quarry
what about a function that runs every minute
neat ingot
dblapi updates counters periodically
you can use the setInterval() function to do a basic loop every x amount of time
(javascript)
royal portal
alright so I have a -cat command which generates a random cat image from an api in an embed
and sometimes it gives an error
embed.image.url: Not a well formed URL.
any ideas?
smoky spire
It's not a well formed url
neat ingot
do you have an example of one of these bad urls?
or does the api just return nothing but the error?
royal portal
it works but sometimes it just happens
viral spade
maybe try formatting with https://www.npmjs.com/package/base64-url
royal portal
if (command === "cat") {
if (message.channel.permissionsFor(message.guild.me).has(["SEND_MESSAGES"], true)) {
let {body} = await superagent.get(`https://aws.random.cat/meow`)
if (!body) return message.channel.send("Error sending cat, please try again.");
let embed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
.setColor("RANDOM")
.setTitle(":cat: Meow!")
.setImage(body.file);
message.channel.send(embed).catch(console.error);
}
}
thats my code
now im getting error
smoky spire
I'm not familiar with the library but I doubt body.file is a url
earnest phoenix
5xx status codes are server sided and you can't do anything about it
unique nimbus
You didn't define dbl
royal portal
so how do I solve the 'not well formed url'
solar quarry
i did
unique nimbus
Well it is not being seen
solar quarry
pale vessel
@royal portal console.log(body.file)
solar quarry
well thats what the npm package says to do
quartz kindle
are you trying to use dbl.on() outside of the ready event?
solar quarry
outside
quartz kindle
then you need to define dbl outside
solar quarry
ok now how do i get it to post the server count
quartz kindle
it will post automatically
solar quarry
is it meant to memory leak
quartz kindle
no?
solar quarry
well its doing that
neat ingot
how so?
solar quarry
quartz kindle
thats not a memory leak, thats a warning for adding too many event listeners
neat ingot
o0
quartz kindle
do you have multiple events of the same type?
like ```js
client.on("ready",() => {
// bla
})
client.on("ready",() => {
// bla
})
client.on("ready",() => {
// bla
})
nope
quartz kindle
put DBL outside of the ready event
solar quarry
ok now i am getting message is not defined
royal portal
does anyone know how to fix the unknown messag
so if you want your bot to delete a messag
and another bot deletes it first
solar quarry
i fixed my issue
and a top.gg token is a token to put your server count on the website
queen needle
where do i get it though?
solar quarry
on the api section on the edit bot page
hollow prawn
does the first line of code outside of the if statement make the 2 other underlines of code redundant ?
as in I can access the target and timestamp thru the first one?
turbid bough
Yeah you could probably store alog into a variable
hollow prawn
aight, wasn't sure did I needed the secondary await and fetchAuditlogs
so that's why when I was making it I made it that way lol
turbid bough
Yeah await will make it so you get it in the variable
Without await, I I think you store the action so you can execute later
neat ingot
no just a promise
turbid bough
Idk I dont do js
neat ingot
like, if he calls the promise, it will store a promise, as well as sending it, if just the promise is referenced it will just be there for execution later
turbid bough
Without await, I I think you store the action so you can execute later
queen needle
so im trying to display the server count and i get this error Oops! Error: 401 Unauthorized
neat ingot
await isnt whats calling it, the () is. await makes no difference except if calling it with await, it will await execution, otherwise it will execute and move on immediately.
turbid bough
What's the code? For the 401 error
turbid bough
kk

@slender thistle so thing is i want it to only replace at that index
slender thistle
Technically you could go the hard and stupid way and convert the string into list, change the characters, and join the elements back
keen dagger
Thanks
sick cloud
i was hoping i could do that sort of string[i] method
got any other ways other than converting to a list shiv
slender thistle
Creating a new string with iterations?
bold dock
sick cloud
i have no idea how you'd do that shiv
slender thistle
newstr = ""
for i in range(0, len(oldstr)):
if i != someindex:
# add old symbol
else:
# add new symbol
but do you really need to bother with the precise indexing
sick cloud
yes
also um
File "main.py", line 64, in encrypt
elif text[index].isupper() and text[index + 1].islower():
IndexError: string index out of range
@slender thistle is this something to do with doing index + 1?
like 64 is pretty deep in the func so why didn't it error earlier
slender thistle
The third argument in replace isn't the index
slender thistle
maybe
sick cloud
also for index in range(0, len(text)):
slender thistle
len(text) - 1 
sick cloud
ok
um
File "main.py", line 30, in encrypt
for index in range(0, len(text - 1)):
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for -: 'str' and 'int'```wha
amber fractal
did you mean to put the -1 outside the len
slender thistle
minus in the wrong place
sick cloud
oh duh ok
yep
well, works i guess, but it replaces nothing
guess that replace function i did was dumb
slender thistle
replace returns an edited string
sick cloud
i made a custom replace
but its dumb
also, can you do inline stuff
like if text[index] == ' ': arr.append('_')
on one line
slender thistle
Sure
slender thistle
sick cloud
turns out this entire function sucks because i don't know what letter it is when i try to decrypt
Hello becomes &!!!!
(& for uppercase letter and lowercase next letter)
(! for lowercase letter and lowercase next letter)
so i have zero way of telling what it is lmao
knotty steeple

@sick cloud Which number thing goes in the <client> part? is that the id or secret?
sick cloud
the client
like client or bot
whatever you use for your <this>.on('message') and such

okay

@earnest phoenix to do that, you'd need a pubsub server and knowledge of XML, websockets, subscriptions and some other bits

earnest phoenix
how would I change command.execute to be compatable with module.exports.run
sudden geyser
well exports.run is like your execute function. They do the same thing.
So it's a matter of how you call it in your message listener.
It isn't magic. It's just a set of instructions you give it.
earnest phoenix
so command.execute should work with module.exports.run
sudden geyser
I've no idea how you structured it. How did you do it before, and how are you doing it now?
earnest phoenix
I tried switching command.execute for module.execute.run
well not EXACTLY that
but
sudden geyser
Like did you do this before? js module.exports = { // ...stuff execute() { // more stuff } // or `execute: async () => {...}` };
earnest phoenix
yea
but I'm using an older piece of code, one from my scrapped bot
it uses module.exports.run
pale vessel
just change run to execute lol
sudden geyser
Then why not do what flaz said or properly go to where you call the function and instead do .run() instead of .execute()
earnest phoenix
I'll try both
right after im finish driving my pc up the fucking wall unknowingly

vsc is not responding
half bluff
Soooo I've got a question. I've been waiting for my bot to be reviewed and watching some of the rejections in #mod-logs. While I'm confident my bot has no issues that would cause rejection, I did see some curious rejection issues regarding privacy. So I had a question about a feature I plan to implement in the future.
I have a separate bot that functions only on one server, this bot maintains a database for verified users and their verified account (think of an account like YouTube tied to your Discord). I plan on exposing this data to my new bot and using it for ease of use (so instead of typing in account names they can mention the user).
The question is regarding privacy - would this cause issues? I see nothing in #rules-and-info regarding it but I saw rejections with bots that had a userinfo command that let people lookup userinfo on users not in the server. So I assume my planned functionality would be fine as long as it only resolves for users in the server where the query is ran?
If that makes sense.
pale vessel
if the user knows that their information will be public, it should be fine
and you already made it server members only
seems good to me
but let's wait for a moderator to respond
half bluff
Well, it's a bit weird. Bot A is on Server A, Bot B is on Servers B - Z. They don't share a mutual server. But Bot B uses the database from Bot A to get this data.
pale vessel
@coral trellis can you help on this one
https://discordapp.com/channels/264445053596991498/272764566411149314/708165258216341514
half bluff
hmmm maybe I'm overcomplicating it. I should probably just add the functionality to Bot B and not share databases. To let users selectively opt in again.
Problem is I want to put Bot B in Server A so I can take redundant commands out of Bot A. But I want to maintain feature parody, which I can't without implementing this feature I mentioned.
I could restrict it to feature parody only works in Server A I guess
coral trellis
Well it comes into question of consent as they may not want their data being exposed publicly like that
Ontop of the fact that they gave that specific application consent and not the new one for a specific use
half bluff
True. And I don't have any nomenclature in Bot A regarding this usage (public data).
Sounds like I should just reimplement the feature in Bot B and specify where the data will be used.
Means I have to maintain feature parity between Bot A and Bot B though instead of supplementing Bot A with Bot B. But that shouldn't be too much of a hassle.

Hey sorry, I am new to making discord bots. I was following a tutorial and they told me to type "node ." to start up the bot it came back with an error message, I don't know if this is a common problem but does anyone know another way to get the bot online?
How far into the tutorial are you?
Did you make a file called index.js?
If so cd into the folder and do “node index.js”
how would i cd into the folder?
Okay, one second, sorry
I did that and it replied with "code:'MODULE_NOT_FOUND'"
green vale
I'm working with modules and classes in Node (for my Discord.js bot); how would I pass an object (message) from my index file to my file where all of the classes are stored?
@earnest phoenix Also, you probably didn't run npm install
earnest phoenix
It replied with:
(alot of other stuff)
"up to date in 0.715s
found 0 vulnerabilities"
ima punch somebody if I needed to update the software -_-
tight plinth
@green vale use module.exports s m h
green vale
yes but apparently the people at djs think that i'm absolutely stupid dumB for using module.exports = message
@earnest phoenix try node . now
cinder patio
Pass them as parameters for the class constructor? Using module.exports = message IS pretty dumb
tight plinth
Well what you want to do
tight plinth
Like a message.js file?
green vale
Nah, I have that for my main bot already
green vale
I feel like the code is cleaner if I spread it out between files
But yeah I did const [variable] = new exampleClass(message)
earnest phoenix
@green vale , it replied with "await is only valid in async function"
tight plinth
Make it async
tight plinth
No
green vale
well actually it's just async function instead of function so
tight plinth
If you want to program a discord bot you MUST know your programming language
green vale
I learned JS from DJS
tight plinth

green vale
I like to learn languages in practice, and just search up or ask whenever I have a question with something
earnest phoenix
i guess "async === true"?
green vale
No

(Remove the token ofc)
earnest phoenix
const Discord = require('discord.js');
async === true
const client = new Discord.Client();
client.once('ready', () => {
console.log('Ready!');
});
client.login(' Token removed ofc ');
green vale
no
tight plinth
no
earnest phoenix
learn the language you're working with before making a bot in it 👏
green vale
@earnest phoenix What's this file called?
earnest phoenix
index.js
tight plinth
first: remove async === true, this makes no sense
tight plinth
is the index.js THIS index.js?

Try running node index.js in the dir that you have your code in
Is it possible to use a class before declaring it?

Hey, is there a difference between client.setInterval() and just setInterval()?
cinder patio
client.setInterval() will clear the interval when the client is destroyed
nocturne grove
ohh thank you. So also when the client loses connection?
cinder patio
I am not sure, the docs just say that
quartz kindle
probably when you do client.destroy()
nocturne grove
oh
but why would you even use client.destroy(), you can just restart your program or am I missing something?
quartz kindle
if for some reason one wants to close a bot and start another bot on the same process
while doing/managing other things

ohh

will just keep my 'normal' interval then 🙂
oh and another thing, is a retryLimit in the Client constructor of 5 okay? I know what's doing and I hate it when I get 'User aborted a request'

passing just the url will not work, as MessageAttachment doesnt download it for you

but like cry said, you dont need to download it to disk as a file
you can download it and keep it in memory, as a buffer, or as a stream

hey, i'm trying to make a log when my bot is added to a guild, and i'm trying to make an invite link, to let admins join the server if there is any problem. My code looks like this :
let channel = bot.channels.get("707638470297780254")
let defaultChannel = "";
guild.channels.forEach(channel => {
if(channel.type == "text" && defaultChannel == "") {
if(channel.permissionsFor(guild.me).has("SEND_MESSAGES")) {
defaultChannel = channel;
}
}
})
let inv = defaultChannel.createInvite()
let embed = new Discord.RichEmbed()
.setTitle("Nouveau serveur")
.addField("Propriétaire du serveur :", `${guild.owner} (${guild.owner.id})`)
.addField("Nombre d'utilisateurs sur le serveur :", guild.memberCount)
.addField("Nom du serveur :", guild.name)
.addField("Région du serveur :", guild.region)
.addField("Invitation vers le serveur :", inv)
channel.send(embed)```
And the var "inv" is just [object Promise]. Does anyone know how i could crete an invite link to the guild ?ps : ping me i don't read every messages 😋
quartz kindle
creating invites to other guilds is a privacy breach. guild owners should invite you to their server if there is any problem, not you invade their server without permission.
other than that, createInvite() returns a promise, you have to await it

@earnest phoenix
bot.guilds.cache.reduce((a, b) => a + b.memberCount, 0).toLocaleString()
try it please
for count
earnest phoenix
Ok
earnest phoenix
Didn't work
tight forum
maybe its a bug
pale vessel
not a.memberCount?
white anvil
yeah and its meant to be a.memberCount
tight forum
its working btw
nocturne grove
you guys are smart: How can I display something like ``hi`` in this format?
white anvil
just do it like that in ur output
nocturne grove
no that sadly does not work
white anvil
show code
nocturne grove
just try it yourself here
\`${roleName.replace(/`/g, '\\`')}\````
this doesn't helplol that `
pale vessel
what are you doing
white anvil
whats the problem
why are you replacing
if u want to use codeblock just do
"`ur text`"
and it will output as ur text
nocturne grove
``hi`` this should be in the code block
white anvil
or are u trying to escape it
pale vessel
probably because the role could have the character `
pale vessel
``wwq`
white anvil
i dont think u need to double escape
pale vessel
test
copper cradle
double works too
nocturne grove
wwq
copper cradle
they're just escaping it
nocturne grove
a single is not right acc to eslint
nocturne grove
but try typing it yourself (and replace it), it doesn't work for me
no in Discord
viral spade
Anyone has experience with hetzner vps? is it recommendable for a bot / databases ?
nocturne grove
``hi``
😱
that was with a space
``hi``
okay
but you can see the space 🤔
what if a add a zero width space
regal saddle
What are you trying to do?
nocturne grove
you guys are smart: How can I display something like ``hi`` in
thisformat?
this
regal saddle
You mean for your bot?
nocturne grove
yes
copper cradle
``hi``
Yes
pale vessel
but you can see the space 🤔
@nocturne grove i can't see the space
pale vessel
"````hi````".replace(/^`/, "` ").replace(/`$/, " `")
nocturne grove
a bit tho
pale vessel
maybe this?
nocturne grove
@copper cradle that's not so nice in a sentence, and that's going to give the same problem if you add `
will try that
@pale vessel that gives `hi` instead of ``hi``
pale vessel
then double it
"````hi````".replace(/^`/, "` `").replace(/`$/, "` `")
wait
there
nocturne grove
also if you try with 2 `?

Umm
earnest phoenix
Thx
knotty steeple
huh
pale vessel
nani nani
nocturne grove
hmm will copy again then 😂
pale vessel
yeah i edited it like 3 times
nocturne grove
ohhh
pale vessel
maybe you copied the wrong revision
nocturne grove
yea xd
not it still doesn't work, but who says your output gets displayed the way you want in Discord?
pale vessel
come again
grizzled raven
what are you trying to do?
nocturne grove
sending things with multiple ` in single-line code @grizzled raven
nocturne grove
yes but it doesn't work
pale vessel
what
nocturne grove
wait maybe it's my code
pale vessel
yeah probably
pale vessel
aww no u
nocturne grove
now I can replace everything where I need it 🙂
pale vessel
glad i could help
nocturne grove
I wonder if I'm the first one who wanted to solve something like this (it's saying a role name in the code block)
pale vessel
oh i just realized
since the new code replaces both beginning and ending with ` ` you can shorten the code with
"````hi````".replace(/^`|`$/g, "` `")
now we're talking
@nocturne grove
nocturne grove
haha thanks, that's nicer!
nocturne grove
@grizzled raven I wanted to send things like this: ```test```
(I can now because we figured out)

hi, I'm using eslint with rallycoding (which I like)
but I have the one issue on my discord.js bot's "index.js" file
I'm having the issue of "Error while running ESLint: Cannot read property 'range' of null." because of that error it doesn't show any issues I have with my index.js file
I have tried to google it, but nothing comes useful or it is not related to my exact scenario
I use eslint with Atom and have latest version of eslint-config-rallycoding, eslint and all other necessary npm packages
nocturne grove
@pale vessel now the var will only be placed in between this when the var itself contains a `, right? (can't test it now cause db is offline). If so, can you change it?
pale vessel
i would suggest making a function
pale vessel
@nocturne grove here's my implementation:
function codeWrap(text) {
return "`" + text.replace(/^`/, " `").replace(/`$/, "` ") + "`";
}
console.log(codeWrap("hi")); // ` hi `
console.log(codeWrap("```hi```")); // ` ```hi``` `
(no codeblock for clarity, sorry)
nocturne grove
okay thank you! will try it when I can
pale vessel
hmm
looks like this method won't work on text that is wrapped with single `
both of the side needs to have at least two
copper cradle
are you guys still trying to figure that out?
pale vessel
no we're done
nocturne grove
lol that's the other way around
pale vessel
i mean if you don't look closely
nocturne grove
hmm
pale vessel
that's all i can think of
nocturne grove
````\u200B${message.content}\u200B\```` doesn't this just work fine?
it does for me
no it doesn't
cloud heart
I'm trying to create a logs system for my bot, but I don't know what is the best way to let the user configure it (like enable/disable logs, the logs that he desire [i.e. message deletion, role update...])
cinder patio
maybe like an enable/disable command like: -logs enable join leave message_edit role_update I think that's how I would do it
copper cradle
2 keywords
cloud heart
I think that's a good idea, thanks
mystic violet
my music is being buggy and Im not sure why? https://prnt.sc/sd874y (guessing its the end event) could someone help me https://hastebin.com/onicikamob.js
nocturne grove
@pale vessel wait... I can also just prevent my bot from using that markdown. But then I need a way to disable all Discord formatting, so afaik `, *, _ and ~ (maybe I'm missing some). Is there a way to create a short regEx for that?
pale vessel
so no code blocks?
nocturne grove
yes
nocturne grove
I started to use the code blocks so * etc. are displayed as *. But now it's easier to do that in another way
cinder patio
If you are on discord.js, I believe there is a .cleanContent property or something similar which is just the text without markdown
cinder patio
actually it's just for mentions
pale vessel
oh
The message contents with all mentions replaced by the equivalent text. If mentions cannot be resolved to a name, the relevant mention in the message content will not be converted.
yeah
nocturne grove
message.content.cleanContent doesn't work when content = *
cinder patio
const {Util} = require("discord.js");
Util.escapeMarkdown(text...)
you can also use the base
nocturne grove
Discord.escapeMarkdown(message.content) works too
pale vessel
like Discord.escapeMarkdown()
cinder patio
(shouldn't it be Discord.Util.escapeMarkdown()?)
nocturne grove
what @pale vessel said worked
pale vessel
yes but like i said it's available on the base object too
cinder patio
oh didn't know that
earnest phoenix
what is the event for .premiumSubscriptionCount (when new boost, the bot do action)
and what should I put inside this event if:
- A new boost
And do action if: - One less boost
cinder patio
I was thinking guildUpdate?
delicate zephyr
Oh wait
no
its not
This information is available in the messageCreate event with the various types of Nitro boost. https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/master/class/Message?scrollTo=type
cinder patio
Can those be disabled?
earnest phoenix
anyone know how i can put the amount of servers my bot is in the status?
cinder patio
With a POST request to https://top.gg/api/bots/stats or you can use a wrapper for the API
earnest phoenix
anyone know how i can put the amount of servers my bot is in the status?
Can anyone help?
cinder patio
I just answered your question
cinder patio
well make your question more clear then 🙂
earnest phoenix
sorry
cinder patio
I get what you mean maybe I misunderstood
earnest phoenix
maybe...
anyways
can you help?
ok, but in guildUpdate event, How to make the bot do an action when there is a new boost and when there is a less boost?
@delicate zephyr
const {Util} = require("discord.js");
Util.escapeMarkdown(text...)
um can you help? @cinder patio
pale vessel
@earnest phoenix ???
delicate zephyr
@earnest phoenix I mean, you quite literally have to use the message
You cant get a user from the new guild in guildUpdate
cinder patio
I don't know discord.py sorry but I can give you a link to the discord.py documentation
delicate zephyr
but you can check the old guild / new guild and check guildPremiumSupscriptionCount and see if its gone up
earnest phoenix
@cinder patio what do you use to code your bot?
delicate zephyr
@earnest phoenix
earnest phoenix
yes but how to check if gone up?
pale vessel
ah yes, reading. hard to master.
earnest phoenix
???? @pale vessel
pale vessel
please ignore me
cinder patio
Jerry, that's node.js/javascript if that's what you're asking
sudden geyser
I'm making a message collector class and I have two ways of possibly watching for new messages:
- Use the single
messageevent my bot always has and just listen for messages from them. - Create a new event listener on the client instance to watch for messages.
Is there an advantage between the two of them? I've asked this question in the past, but sadly got no response.
pale vessel
event listeners probably take up memory so you should stick with one event if possible
cinder patio
I mean... why? Does the library you are using not have a utility function like that?
pale vessel
nope
cinder patio
Then I guess the first one sounds better? Although I am not sure how you'd implement it
sudden geyser
I'm using Eris so no. Discord.js handles it by adding a new event listener (because that's all it can do) but I never see anyone doing it in a single message listener.
pale vessel
have you tried eris-additions?
sudden geyser
Nah I don't want to use that.
I've already implemented it, but was wondering which one was preferred
pale vessel
i've never used it too
sudden geyser
If I really wanted it I'd take properties from the library make my own and call it unique
pale vessel
you can always create a new listener and look for performance drop
white anvil
having more than one listener for each event is bad practice and prone to problems
a lot of people I know that do this tend to have memory leaks and stuff
pale vessel
like luca's repo lmao
pale vessel
if it's not as worse as this
white anvil
it’s still bad practice
sudden geyser
Just depends on how you handle it 
white anvil
anything you can do with multiple listeners you can do with one
cinder patio
That's true, unless you don't want to mix up your logic
pale vessel
sometimes people just prefer to have a separate one just for aesthetics
white anvil
just make separate functions for each thing you’re doing
and call them in listener
saves memory
cinder patio
Like attaching an extra message listener for like a minute and then removing the event after the minute is up is perfectly fine imo
What if you want it to be in a function, like discord.js' await messages?
white anvil
just attach it to your listener
pale vessel
you can probably do that with setTimeout
white anvil
push listener to array and handle it in the event function or something idk
it’s not hard
brave blade
I found you can have a bot send emojis either by sending the shortcode (:grinning:) or by sending the 'raw' unicode string
now I wonder, is there any disadvantage to sending emojis as the unicode string?
I'm worried that not using shortcodes might be unsupported, or frowned upon
cinder patio
shorter strings
earnest phoenix
well uh no
cinder patio
I think it's the same, what I meant is that less data gets sent
brave blade
in most cases
copper cradle
if it's not as worse as this
@pale vessel that code looks like something I'd actually see in this channel
brave blade
when you have something like ":regional_indicator_d:" you can't fit many of those shortcodes into a 2000 char message
pale vessel
there actually was
brave blade
using the Unicode string instead, you can put more into one message
pale vessel
i remember that one dude
brave blade
Discord has a limit of 198 emojis per message I found out, whyever that specific number
