ive not had any issues really, but my house caught on fire due to faulty wiring

lyric mountain
@obtuse jolt read about cronjob in js, and this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1590247/how-do-you-implement-a-stack-and-a-queue-in-javascript
Those things will get u a very easy queue system
obtuse jolt
But wouldn’t this be a good use for json though
I know guild name and Id is useless
Idk why I added it
It looks good I guess
quartz kindle
json is ok if its read-heavy
but its terrible if you need write-heavy
also, to make json good, its actuall data set needs to be stored in memory
obtuse jolt
It’s mostly read because it checks the config when someone sends a message (assuming auto scanning is on and somethings are also correct)
quartz kindle
a good json data store is essentially an in-memory database with json files as backup
similar to how redis operates
quartz kindle
most likely not
quartz kindle
which library?
obtuse jolt
d.js
quartz kindle
is that heap or rss?
solemn latch
you have 64gb of ram, and one core
quartz kindle
how are you measuring it?
solemn latch
obtuse jolt
yeah I was confused on how to get cpu usage
I think its supposed to be 4.0% in the image above
quartz kindle
getting cpu usage from within node is a bit more complicated, it involved measuing process.cpuUsage() over time
obtuse jolt
Yeah
quartz kindle
because process.cpuUsage() returns system/user cpu time
solemn latch
so what, an average over the past few seconds?
quartz kindle
i have a sample you can use
solemn latch
id love to see it too
lyric mountain
"Converting millis into something"
--------- How to measure your CPU 101
quartz kindle
Number(Math.round((await new Promise(async r => {
let start = [process.hrtime(),process.cpuUsage()];
await new Promise(r => setTimeout(() => r(),100));
let elap = [process.hrtime(start[0]),process.cpuUsage(start[1])];
r(100.0 * ((elap[1].user / 1000) + (elap[1].system / 1000)) / (elap[0][0] * 1000 + elap[0][1] / 1000000));
}))+'e2')+'e-2')
this is what i use lol
in an async function
quartz kindle
yeah that wont work
it needs to be done over time, ie, two measurements
i wait 100ms between each measurement in the above example
obtuse jolt
I need to measure it like at the time tho
quartz kindle
yes but that's not possible
node doesnt know how much cpu its using at any given time
it needs to measure it over an amount of time
so it can understand how much exactly its the process itself and how much its the system
obtuse jolt
but if that’s the case tho isn’t that solution already measured over time just my integration is poor
quartz kindle
yours is not measured over time
obtuse jolt
I just though like who actually cares about the cpu usage
obtuse jolt
solemn latch
i like looking at that stuff
obtuse jolt
wow ok then
solemn latch
and really, your trying to impress me 
obtuse jolt
I mean I have these but ok
Which is weirder because that say 0.7
And the bot never goes below 20%
It says it doesn’t
quartz kindle
because the bot is not measuring it correctly
solemn latch
my bot sits around, 2-0.3% at idle
solemn latch
it has a few checks it does to get to that 2%
obtuse jolt
My bots without databases idle at like less then 0.1%
quartz kindle
yours will likely also show 1-2% if you measure it correctly
obtuse jolt
But I guess that what you get from server grade chips
quartz kindle
well yeah 0.1% if we take into consideration you have a dedi with 8 cores
solemn latch
^
obtuse jolt
yeah
solemn latch
im on a single core, and the bot idling is actually still doing stuff
quartz kindle
nice
obtuse jolt
It’s pretty speedy
quartz kindle
im on a single core vps lul
quartz kindle
i get 25ms
obtuse jolt
Idk
I took that yesterday
It happens if I keep spamming it for long enough
Just gotta hope
lyric mountain
Ain't VirusTotal a copyrighted brand?
obtuse jolt
The ping is very up and down because of the amount of minecraft servers using the bandwidth
I actually emailed them about the API limits and they said what I was doing was a cool idea
And wanted €15k/yr for private API access
lyric mountain
Ain't VirusTotal a copyrighted brand?
This can be an issue if you want to grow it big
obtuse jolt
I do say it’s unofficial
Like on bots lists it says Unofficial VirusTotal BOT
I could probably email them and check if it’s alright with them
lyric mountain
It'd be safer to do that
And you might get some perks for advertising their site
Who'd deny free marketing?
obtuse jolt
I might get a 1% discount off paying 15 grand
quartz kindle
lmao
obtuse jolt
Something makes me think that they won’t care because of they are mostly known online or they might care a whole lot because they don’t want their brand image being ruined
The person I was talking to seemed hella chill
They were saying that they thought the idea was pretty cool
Holy shit
ITS JESUS
lyric mountain
They are always a hella cool
You just need to make sure your bot is as good as possible to make their brand have a good image
obtuse jolt
Yeah I really need to rewrite it because the bot was originally made to prevent account compromises but I guess a half working bot won’t do well at that
I already have the basics of how to make the bot work
I just need to build off that
And make it better
obtuse jolt
@lyric mountain is there an easy guide that doesn’t just give a huge chunk of code and say that’s how you do it
sick cloud
what is it actually
google hasn't complained about my bot luckily
even when we sent an email
obtuse jolt
What does your bot do?
sudden geyser
Here's a site: https://www.sqlitetutorial.net

Do you have knowledge on SQL?
lyric mountain
Sql is a separate language
obtuse jolt
@lyric mountain
This is confusing
You can’t
It’s part of the website
¯_(ツ)_/¯
lyric mountain
This is confusing
@obtuse jolt sql is a bit confusing when you're too used to programming langs
But keep researching about it
obtuse jolt
I think I said that about json at first
lyric mountain
Treat it like a new programming lang
sick cloud
@torpid forge inspect element
earnest phoenix
because json isn't meant to be used as a db in the first place
it's a notation
JavaScript Object Notation
hence JSON
solemn latch
theres really only one line that matters when acessing a database, the rest is just structure/syntax
lyric mountain
It might work well now, but later on you'll regret relying on json
solemn latch
and then you also gotta port everyones info over ^
or just drop all their info
which is terrible for your users
lyric mountain
But since it happened many times already...
solemn latch
well, he was going to swap when he has more users 🤔
which is more frustrating for everyone
amber fractal
@obtuse jolt you can look into mongo
unless you specifically need sql for something
but mongo is closer to the "normal" programming stuff most people do and isnt like INSTERT INTO x ...
amber fractal
Yes, but not all programmers like that syntax
I hate it
I'd rather db.collection("x").insertOne({})
lyric mountain
Sql is good if you need relation between entities, other than that it's just really a matter of taste
dusk sphinx
What's the step for making bots online
lyric mountain
Step one - code
dusk sphinx
Which code
lyric mountain
Yes
Jokes apart, you gotta code ur bot's behavior
Find a programming language that's easier for you and start writing
earnest phoenix
lyric mountain
Note that without prior ps knowledge you'll have some rough time understanding things
earnest phoenix
docs for libraries ^^
also no matter the language you use.. dont just jump right into discord bots
learn the basic-to-intermediate concepts first
dusk sphinx
Ok
earnest phoenix
so is python-
lyric mountain
Python is a bit too abstract, and might confuse beginners
It's easy if you have prior ps knowledge tho
lyric mountain
Read my last comment
earnest phoenix
ps?
lyric mountain
Programming science
earnest phoenix
ok? some of those people had no programming experience
solemn latch
python is like the top beginners language suggested these days
dusk sphinx
I have almost has perfect experience for that
solemn latch
from what ive seen atleast
earnest phoenix
python is a beginner friendly language
- it's knowig something like js or java beforehand that trips people up
python breaks away from the braces, etfc
that and ruby
dusk sphinx
Duh..at begining until now took me 3 days if i was right
earnest phoenix
to learn... what?
a specific programming language?
Duh..at begining until now took me 3 days if i was right
@dusk sphinx
lyric mountain
python is a beginner friendly language
- it's knowig something like js or java beforehand that trips people up
@earnest phoenix probably that's the issue
Python is the most high level lang i know of
earnest phoenix
but a complete beginner will never be used to js/java
and ruby is higher IIRC
and you've clearly never seen cobol :p
its.. special
dusk sphinx
A whole of bot creation
lyric mountain
Cobol is low level af
earnest phoenix
A whole of bot creation
@dusk sphinx im sorry what? if you learned "all of bot creation" in 3 days, you might wanna go back and read the 50 chapters of the tutorial you skippd
Cobol is low level af
@lyric mountain is cobol not the english-like-lang-for-boomers?
SUBTRACT A FROM B
``` etcugly yes, confusing.. is it?
lyric mountain
Let's say cobol is in its own tier
earnest phoenix
xD
lyric mountain
Cobol is like if delphi and sql had a child
earnest phoenix
isnt cobol like old and sql young 
lyric mountain
Sql went back in time to ensure its future generations

Only blind people will do

Umm..any other step for Activate the bots
olive rune
Host it
dusk sphinx
How
olive rune
Buy a vps or host it locally
winter basalt
host it locally for starters
dusk sphinx
Where
olive rune
On a computer
winter basalt
..your pc
earnest phoenix
or an rpi ;3
dusk sphinx
I am on my mobile no computer
olive rune
Buy a raspberry pi I you don't have one
earnest phoenix
oh god
olive rune
Raspberry pi is like 20 dollars max
earnest phoenix
30* for a 4b 1GB
dusk sphinx
Beside that
olive rune
No other way unless you have a spare PC which you apparently don't
winter basalt
think you should get atleast a laptop, mobile is pain to code with
earnest phoenix
or even a bt keyboard..
olive rune
You can pay 3-10 dollars fora good vps from gakaxygate or something
dusk sphinx
I need no no payment step please
earnest phoenix
pebblehost is 2.50/mo for 1GB
olive rune
Oh lord
earnest phoenix
you arent gonna get anything decent for free..
olive rune
Lol
winter basalt
there is no free lunch
earnest phoenix
what do you mean which "step"?
dusk sphinx
I mean which way is the simple for activate the bot
olive rune
Localhosting is easiest if you have a pc
earnest phoenix
hack a smart fridge, use a spare pc, rpi, vps
dusk sphinx
Vps? What it mean
olive rune
Virtual private server
dusk sphinx
Where can i find it
olive rune
winter basalt
google, or check pins here
dusk sphinx
Can you send me the link
winter basalt
olive rune
I recommend galaxygate, rhythm and dank memes use it
dusk sphinx
What's next
olive rune
providing support, maintaining it, growing it, and then just maintaining again
lyric mountain
Well, maintenance
The full cycle is:
1 - develop
2 - test
3 - implement
4 - feedback
5 - repeat
olive rune
You need to provide good and fast support for your bot too
lyric mountain
This will keep going forever, until you stop maintaining it
You need to provide good and fast support for your bot too
That's step 4
olive rune
Most developers spend hundreds of hours a month working on their bots
lyric mountain
And most good projects take about 1 month before being able to be released publicly
olive rune
I would recommend making a test bot to test new features instead of pushing to main bot before testing it
lyric mountain
And always, ALWAYS backup your bot's code and database
olive rune
but it really just depends on the developer
lyric mountain
Github is your best friend
dusk sphinx
Is making bot worked were hard
lyric mountain
Depends
Some people can code as if it was a second nature, while some have a hard time grasping to coding principles
olive rune
there are almost always example bots with code on github, normally you can learn a lot from there
olive rune
also, read the code, see what it does, try figure out what each line actually does, then you can adapt the code to suit your needs
dusk sphinx

hello how to use the permission integer with discord.py ?
lyric mountain
Each permission has a integer representing it, you'll need to sum the bytes iirc
Like, 0x8 is admin perm
tawny cape
Ok , so now i got the byte what do i do with it ?
lyric mountain
tawny cape
i got it thanks

Um, trying to get node-fetch to work with Heroku Buildpacks, i have figured out a way by using both errors and a currently compatible module and it needs a compile folder and i am not completely sure how to get it to work?
Using ffmpeg for help, Heroku needs a "compile" folder with code that looks basically like the image i am about to send but i don't know how i am meant to get a link for download url as i would assume it needs a .tar.xz file??????
Can anyone give me a bit of help because i don't know of a download link for node-fetch that i can put in my compile file
Um nvm i think i did it, just gotta check if node-fetch will properly work, i finished it all and got no errors deploying to Heroku
The bot started with no errors but my meme command does absolutely nothing, doesn't throw any errors at all either, it just doesn't do anything at all
Yeah doesn't matter i figured out why it isn't working sorry for bugging people with my questions
dapper lynx
Just have one small problem that i don't fully understand how to fix UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: ReferenceError: Cannot access 'msg' before initialization
There is the code
tepid canyon
message.channel.send
dapper lynx
I use msg not message
tepid canyon
Then your variable name after let needs to be something else
let memeMsg = . . .
memeMsg.edit . . .
undone veldt
for some reason that idk what is, my ${message.author.id} is returning false, can someone help me?
dapper lynx
Ahhhhhh right, i feel a little bit stupid 🤦
tepid canyon
What code are you running for it to return false?
undone veldt
console.log(`Comando "${command}" utilizado por "${message.author.username}#${message.author.discriminator}" cujo id é "${message.author.id}" no servidor "${message.guild.name}"`);
all my commands that use some if to check if the user is certain user with the id, its returning false
tepid canyon
in that console.log instead of putting their id it puts false?
tepid canyon
Hmmm
undone veldt
if(message.author.id == '435228312214962204') return message.reply("hey")
This just return <false>
i created a test command, that just says your id
for other people returns their id, but my id return false
it's like my id has been canceled or something
tepid canyon
Haven't heard anything like it before. Maybe you have something set up somewhere else that is messing with it?
In one of the main files maybe?
undone veldt
I read all of my main file, and there's nothing in conflict, if someone dm my bot, he send me with a client.users.cache.get(myid) and the message goes to me, but it cant say that its mine
i will show
this send me a message
and i recieve, but show that my id is false
tepid canyon
Which discord.js version are you using?
tepid canyon
what changed since yesterday ? was it happening today at the beginning of your testing?
undone veldt
I went to modify a command, which pointed out the error of the id. so I went back to the old version of the code, but even then the error continued
harsh dock
The red point?
tepid canyon
When your bot starts do you fetch all members?
undone veldt
it has a line that take the amount of users that the bot has with a client.users.cache.size
he cant even take my profile pic in the footer
if i try a mod command, it cant look my permissions
lusty quest
this changed in V12
undone veldt
yeah but, its just to my id, other people can do
the bots returns that my id its false
lusty quest
did you use the member object or the me object?
undone veldt
member
lusty quest
so you want to check the permissions for a guild member?
guild.me.hasPermission(['MANAGE_CHANNELS']) this works for me to check the permission of the bot
undone veldt
go to #265156322012561408 and use m!moon, it will show your discord id, but if i use, it will return false
this is the code
undone veldt
theres no line of code creating an exception to my id
lusty quest
why should it return something else than your ID
lusty quest
usually you get locked out from starting the bot if you get ratelimited. and i dont think you can hit it fast with a client
tepid canyon
What shows if you console.log(client.users.fetch("435228312214962204"))
undone veldt
let me see
tepid canyon
Since it seems you can get your username and discrim but not the avatar and id...
pale vessel
nice id
undone veldt
yeah haah
lusty quest
gg
undone veldt
i dont know what happened
lusty quest
contact Discord Support i guess
undone veldt
i guess i need to
lusty quest
but the ability to troll some badly coded bots with this bug is tempting
tepid canyon
Ehh I fetched him through my eval command and it showed his actual id and not false..
undone veldt
apparently the problem is with my code
lusty quest
but how?
undone veldt
i ahve just one main file
lusty quest
i dont get how you can edit the stuff that is requested with a /get call
on small bots its not a issue
if you get a ton of commands having a handler is nice but not really a thing you need
undone veldt
like, i handle all the commands, and in my index file, nothing like edit my id or something to the rest of the code
lusty quest
its strange. bcs the stuff in your code requests your member object from the Discord API so there is no way that its edited. (maybe some strange caching issue)
maybe ask someone in the Discord.Js discord server
they know probably more about the api
undone veldt
I will talk to them, thanks for the help guys
its working now, idk what happened, but its ok now

hello i have a bot i already developed some commands but i also trying to work the welcome masg
but i cant seem to get it work
here is the code lines i aded into index.js
client.on('guildMemberAdd', member => {
const channel = member.guild.channels.cache.find(ch => ch.name === 'member-log');
if (!channel) return;
channel.send(`Welcome to the server, ${member}!`);
it doesant give any errors
pure lion
Well
Maybe
You could search for the system channel ID?
Because then everyone with your bot would have to make a channel named member-log
pure lion
What with?
pure lion
Ok so you wanna do
member.guild.channels.cache.find(c => c.id === member.guild.systemChannelID)

dapper lynx
Question, if i have a command that fetches a json api which can get memes from say 3 sub reddits, is there a way for me to set up a way for e.g. the 1st sub reddit has an image just with the number 1 as a thumbnail and the 2nd sub reddit as an image with the number 2 as a thumbnail?
The api is laid out like this
{"postLink":"originalpostlink","subreddit":"asubreddit","title":"posttitle","url":"originalpostimage"}
hasty sparrow
Yes
dapper lynx
Could you possibly show an example?
hasty sparrow
You would need to be more precise on where you want to set this thumbnail
dapper lynx
One of the subreddits would be r/memes, so just "memes". It would be .setThumbnail() in a message embed
Doesn't matter what the image is for what subreddit, just like say like i said image that says 1 for memes, then image that says 2 for like dankmemes or something
hasty sparrow
Just pass the custom image/thumbnail in the embed
dapper lynx
How would i make it so a specific image will show for a specific subreddit?
hasty sparrow
Check it in your code
dapper lynx
Because the way my command is setup, the api just chooses randomly from 3 different subreddits, so 1 command shows a random post from a random subreddit
hasty sparrow
You already know which subreddit you are fetching the post from, so you should also know which thumbnail to use
dapper lynx
Yeah, but i use json.subreddit to get from the api what the subreddit is, i don't know how to get it to assign a specific image for a specific subreddit if the subreddit isn't referenced in my code
I use 1 single api that randomises through 3 different subreddits, i don't have 3 separate embed outputs for 3 separate subreddits
hasty sparrow
Isn't the subreddit returned in the response?
dapper lynx
It is using r/${json.subreddit}
Which outputs in the embed which subreddit it's from
hasty sparrow
Please show your code, this is getting confusing
dapper lynx
if(command === "meme") {
let memeMsg = await msg.channel.send("Getting meme");
fetch("https://meme-api.herokuapp.com/gimme")
.then(res => res.json())
.then(json => {
const embed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
.setColor("#FF5700")
.setAuthor(`r/${json.subreddit}`, `https://i.imgur.com/nWtRlHA.png`)
.setTitle(json.title)
.setURL(`${json.postLink}`)
.setImage(json.url)
.setFooter(`Custom Reddit API`)
memeMsg.edit(embed)
});
}
you can use directly reddit to fetch memes
wheat valve
How do you get a avatar command to show the animated avatars as well? I use Discord.js
hasty sparrow
You could have an object with subreddit name as key and thumbnail as value
pale vessel
@wheat valve use the dynamic option
dapper lynx
Would i put that just after fetch?
Honestly, i have no idea how to do that, i haven't ever done any coding like what i'm trying to do
Like specifically the question, not like bot making in general
hasty sparrow
In that case I'd recommend learning the basics first before trying to create a bot
dapper lynx
No no i know all the basics of javascript near enough, just not how to do the "an object with subreddit name as key and thumbnail as value" thing
Is there a post or something on how to do it specifically for Discord or is there not?
hasty sparrow
const theObject = {
"subreddit": "thumbnail link",
};
So with that i could have different message output for different subreddits then? So have a completely different embed for one subreddit and another different embed for another subreddit?
hasty sparrow
Your initial question was how to display different thumbnails, not different embeds
dapper lynx
Doesn't matter, not thinking straight
So do i put that at the end so when it outputs a certain subreddit, a certain image will be added to the embed thumbnail?
earnest phoenix
what to block certain commands on a server and if the owner wants to activate them he can activate them?
restive furnace
@earnest phoenix in short: database.
earnest phoenix
ok
dapper lynx
I'm not 100% sure where the const goes for it goes but do you reckon would this work?
hasty sparrow
Try it out
dapper lynx
Not a well formed url, i believe for .setThumbnail
Think i know what i did wrong though
hasty sparrow
That's not how you access an object property
autumn summit
user = payload.member
for x in user.roles:
if "team" in x.name.lower():
roelf = teams.find_one({"_id" : str(x.id)})
pass
first = guild.get_member(int(self.players[0]))
if not first:
rolef = 10
pass
for x in first.roles:
if "team" in x.name.lower():
rolef = teams.find_one({"_id": str(x.id)})
pass
print(rolef)
if rolef == roelf:``` Someone help, my code is fine until an hour later, everything works then anhour later, it says rolef referenced before assignment, any ideas?Yeah ik i don't know how to get it to use the thumbnail url i set in my object
hasty sparrow
roelf
dapper lynx
Oh but it shows the thumbnail for all subreddits
earnest phoenix
if(!db.has(`test_${message.guild.id}`, "true")) return message.reply("You need to set the command to true!")
will this check if the value on database is set to "true" ? (quick.db)
dapper lynx
I have it so anything in r/memes will show the thumbnail but only for r/memes but it still shows thumbnail for all 3 subreddits
hasty sparrow
No big surprise, as you hardcoded the thumbnail
reef mantle
Anyone here?
How to make the bot send gifs and videos
I need code
Sorry if I am disturbing
dapper lynx
Wait, so how do i get it to just show the appropriate thumbnail for the subreddit, would it literally just be to put setThumbnail as (subredditThumbnails) or do i need to add a bit extra to my code?
hasty sparrow
reef mantle
Pls give the code @hasty sparrow
How to make the bot send gifs and videos
@reef mantle
Pls tell
@dapper lynx @hasty sparrow
dapper lynx
I read through the link and i am still confused as to how to call a specific value from my object based on the value of my subreddit :/
haughty night
message.channel.send("Link of your gif/video/photo")
dapper lynx
Question, if i have a command that fetches a json api which can get memes from say 3 sub reddits, is there a way for me to set up a way for e.g. the 1st sub reddit has an image just with the number 1 as a thumbnail and the 2nd sub reddit as an image with the number 2 as a thumbnail?
@dapper lynx my original question
But i don't know how to use my thumbnail object to where a specific subreddit has a specific thumbnail in the MessageEmbed
pure lion
Pls tell
@reef mantle
let image = new Discord.messageattachment(
'image link', image.jpg
)
reef mantle
Thanx

dapper lynx
How do i get it to use the value of a specific value in my object based on what subreddit it's from for my Discord messageembed thumbnail
earnest phoenix
const { MessageEmbed } = require("discord.js");
const db = require("quick.db");
module.exports = async (oldMember, newMember) => {
if(!oldMember) return;
if(!oldMember.guild) return;
const tag = db.get(`Tag_${message.guild.id}`)
let role = db.get(`ServerRole_${message.guild.id}`)
if(!role || !tag) return;
if(oldMember.displayName.contet === tag) oldMember.roles.add(role);
if(newMember.displayName.content === tag) newMember.roles.add(role);
}
I want to check if a user has a specific word in their name, and if they have the bot assign a role to them, why this dont' work ?
charred jetty
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
trying to pull
dapper lynx
Right now all i can get it to do is output the full thing shown at the bottom
tulip ledge
So I have this array: ["item1", "item1", "item2"] now is there a way that I can detect how many times item1 is in that array?
dapper lynx
That just shows the memes thumbnail regardless of what subreddit
dapper lynx
.. As in if the subreddit is memes, then specific thumbnail, but if it is e.g. dankmemes it doesn't show a thumbnail
pale vessel
it just won't show it
reef mantle
Who sees AoT?
dapper lynx
But if i wanted a thumbnail assigned to each of the 3 subreddits, and it will output the corresponding thumbnail to what the subreddit is
pale vessel
define the subreddit as keys then
the value would be thumbnail link
get the value by using the key, which is the subreddit
dapper lynx
pale vessel
it'll get their corresponding thumbnail
dapper lynx
That's what i have currently
pale vessel
setThumbnail(subredditThumbnails[json.subreddit]) then
tell me you understand what that code does
dapper lynx
Yes, picks out of the values i have in my object based on the value of the subreddit
pale vessel
is that what you wanted?
dapper lynx
Yeah, thanks so much i couldn't figure it out :/
pale vessel
epico
dapper lynx
I just wasn't aware that i could do the [] part to get the values of my api
pale vessel
if it has a space or something, object["hi world"]
should have make that more clear
you can also use variables
dapper lynx
Oh damn i didn't realise you said that, that would've been plenty help, sorry
object[subreddit]
Ah yeah sorry i wasn't 100% paying attention to those messages
dire stag
hey guy
just developing a bot atm
im worried about the safety of the bot
can anyone breach it? Since the bot is no as modified as other bots
dapper lynx
As long as you don't share your code when your bot token is visible, or as long as you don't share your token
brittle copper
I mean ideally the token is stored outside of the code
dapper lynx
Yeah, but if it does show in shared code then that is an easy way to compromise your bot ig
brittle copper
discordClient = new DiscordClient(new DiscordConfiguration
{
Token = File.ReadAllText("./Token.txt"),
TokenType = TokenType.Bot,
UseInternalLogHandler = true,
LogLevel = LogLevel.Info | LogLevel.Debug,
AutoReconnect = true,
});```
Likely not the most ideal, but I've got mine stored in a separate file for safekeepingDoesn't really affect how the bot works really so if anything it's better to do so
brittle copper
Also I'm really confused right now, because any exception I hit and the bot shoots the connection
System.Collections.Generic.KeyNotFoundException: The given key 'register' was not present in the dictionary.
[2020-06-23 07:59:16 -04:00] [WebSocket] [Debug] Connection closed. (1000, '')
I've never run into that issue before so i wouldn't know how to help sorry
brittle copper
Yeah me neither.
Before it worked just find
Hopefully I can handle the SocketClosed event, and try to get the bot to reconnect
Nope
pale vessel
what library is that? dsp?
brittle copper
Yes
For some reason my exception handling is breaking the socket so far that it refuses to reconnect .-.
I comment out client.CommandErrored += MyExceptionHandler and suddenly that same invalid command doesn't kill my bot
I don't know what about that is magically killing the socket
pale vessel
@earnest phoenix
brittle copper
I never said it was good
earnest phoenix
brittle copper
am using D#Plus
brittle copper
yes
brittle copper
the API with absolutely egregious docs that use features from nightly but put them in the stable docs
dire stag
is it possible?
dapper lynx
but people can breach the bot
@dire stag people can only "breach" the bot if they either have access to your discord account or if you share your token whether it is an accident or not
earnest phoenix
i don't use dsp's commands so i wouldn't know how it works per se, but if the socket's closing run the app in debug mode, you might be getting an exception that's getting swallowed
dire stag
ahh ok
earnest phoenix
i don't use the libs built in commands in general
dire stag
someone could breach without my consent and use the bot to give him perms to terminate my server
because one time
a random person managed to remove me form the owner role
earnest phoenix
vs has a debug mode that lets you break on any exception and you're able to read resources used by the app
empty owl
My stomach hurts
earnest phoenix
ok
empty owl
ooo wrong chat
dire stag
...
brittle copper
vs has a debug mode that lets you break on any exception and you're able to read resources used by the app
Yes, except it provides almost meaningless information at times because of async; assuming it manages to break on the exception to begin with.
the debugger is great, but in my experience trying to catch exceptions when making a bot is quite difficult.
but
I'll run it in VS and let you know what happens
dire stag
yes
brittle copper
Yes
dapper lynx
I think they mean the Discord Developer website
dire stag
yes
dapper lynx
Where you create your app for the bot
dire stag
so whast the point of storing it
brittle copper
You need to login somehow
dapper lynx
No one can access your bots token from the website unless they have your Discord account details
brittle copper
It's like trying to login to discord and asking "why remember my login" imo
pale vessel
it can't as long as you don't leak anything
brittle copper
It's quite difficult to brute-force a massive string, but as long as you keep your own account secure you're fine
And ofc don't leak the token
dire stag
alirght thanks
brittle copper
But if your token does get leaked, iirc you can generate a new token, which makes the old one invalid
pale vessel
i mean the first part of token is the bot id in base64
dire stag
you guys recommend anything before i start?
pale vessel
but that's like one third of the token
brittle copper
Also @earnest phoenix Ran in VS, no exceptions caught
Tried setting breakpoints as well, no luck
spark breach
So I have a issue, I am trying to make a command that makes it so I can change the bots status however I get this error:
Code:``` if(message.author.id !== '553649764177149972') return message.channel.send("Sorry you can't use this command!");
let msgArgs = args.slice(1).join(" ");
bot.user.setActivity(msgArgs, {type: 'CUSTOM_STATUS'}).then(message.react('✅'));```
So, I've figured out the socket is closing when I return Task.CompletedTask, but, I'm not sure why. Same code worked like an hour ago
spark breach
you're on nightly?
Me? I'm on heroku
pale vessel
what is your client defined as?
spark breach
const bot = new Discord.Client(); //discord bot itself
brittle copper
you're on nightly?
Yes because the stable version hasn't been updated in like 3 years,
But I haven't updated, and this code worked fine before
brittle copper
Oh god
to hell if I'm asking emzi.
I'll try and figure it out, I appreciate the help though
pale vessel
are you using a command handler @spark breach
spark breach
I am yes
pale vessel
did you define bot
or pass client to the handler
if not you can probably use message.client or something
spark breach
oh ok I'll try that then
pale vessel
message.client.user
spark breach
seeing the colour already is making me have the feeling it isn't correct :/
