could it be because some guilds don't have memberCount?

You know.
Nvm
I just kept it like this better.. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
bot.user.setActivity(`${bot.users.cache.size} members! || a!help`, { type:"WATCHING", })
pure lion
should I keep it as it is better?
you could just say the guild amount, if you update the description at every member youre gonna get rate limited
still merlin
Does anyone know why this happens?
pure lion
Does anyone know why this happens?
@still merlin send log
pale vessel
here's what i would do for my bot client.guilds.map(x => x.memberCount).reduce((x, y) => x + y)
mine returned NaN too but this fixed it
pure lion
woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
still merlin
Is it my eval command then?
pale vessel
can you like actually send the error instead of "error happened"
pure lion
^
still merlin
${error} is undefined apparently
pale vessel
cache?
still merlin
and I dont know how to define it
pale vessel
are you still on v11?
pure lion
try {eval} catch (err) {send(err)}
still merlin
No im on v12
still merlin
I evaled catch (err) {send(err)} and a error
is the eval command incorrect?
client.on("message", (message) => {
const args = message.content.split(" ").slice(1);
if (message.content.startsWith(prefix + "eval")) {
if (message.author.id !== "529770099285032980")
return message.channel.send(
"**error** Only the bot owner can execute this command!"
);
try {
const code = args.join(" ");
let evaled = eval(code);
if (typeof evaled !== "string") evaled = require("util").inspect(evaled);
message.channel.send(clean(evaled), { code: "xl" });
} catch (err) {
message.channel.send(``:x: Error preforming eval command`");
}
}
});
so err is undefined you say?
still merlin
no error is
digital ibex
wait what, i've literally told u before to stop creating an event for each command.. why are you still doing that?
pure lion
bruj
pale vessel
sounds like a bad memory leak
digital ibex
it was a while ago too, and they had one then too
still merlin
You never said that OfficalyLost, Or I didnt see it
lusty quest
a event for every single command? wtf?
pale vessel
better get that checked out
lusty quest
would be to annoying for me to keep track of
digital ibex
yes you did, you even said it already says you've got a memory leak when i said your going to get a memory leak..
pure lion
You never said that OfficalyLost, Or I didnt see it
its like a n unwritten rule, use switch case-
lusty quest
or a command handler
still merlin
how does a memory leak effect code?
pale vessel
it leaks your memory lawllll
lusty quest
still merlin
do I just remove all client.on's then?
midnight granite
still merlin
execpt one
digital ibex
yes
still merlin
ok
digital ibex
so like js client.on('message', message => { if (message.content == 'hi') message.channel.send('hi'); if (message.content == 'bye') message.channel.send({ embed: { title: 'hi' }}); });
lusty quest
https://discordjs.guide/command-handling/#individual-command-files maybe read into this
still merlin
HH i need to re-write my hole code?
solemn latch
well, yes and no.
all your commands code can be the same, just how you are handling does
digital ibex
if you're not going to use a handler, you don't have to, its not going to change anything in performance or anything, just easier for you.
still merlin
ok
pale vessel
handler actually has better performance, based on my experience
but can't really prove it
solemn latch
doing it this way also allows you to have dynamic help commands
lusty quest
with a command handler you can have a way better track of your commands since every command is in his own file
pale vessel
and reloading commands would be easier
digital ibex
no, not nesaccarily, woo
pale vessel
but you can always have a collection of commands in one file
dynamic help command would be possible with or without a handler
digital ibex
yeah
lusty quest
the handler makes it more efficent i guess. since you dont end up with some sort of super spagetti code
digital ibex
that doesn't change efficiency tho
pale vessel
but it's still really handy to have one, for keeping commands organized
digital ibex
yea
pale vessel
and reloading, again
lusty quest
@digital ibex it makes the coding workflow a little bit more efficent
digital ibex
how
still merlin
Can I just copy and paste my package.json file into another one? (I'm gonna make another folder for a command handler incase it backfires- Most of my command handlers dont work)
lusty quest
you dont have to deal with clutter and keeping track of stuff in more complex commands
digital ibex
it makes it easier for u, and thats about it
lusty quest
@still merlin just make a copy of the entire bot and paste it somewhere
solemn latch
or, use git
digital ibex
u wot
lusty quest
(the main folder so you have your-bot and your-bot-copy)
still merlin
but can I copy my package.json thing inside of it
lusty quest
its not the most efficent but you have a fallback
solemn latch
oml
lusty quest
the package.json wont help you much
still merlin
ok
solemn latch
package.json is just the node modules you have installed
solemn latch
backing that up does nothing for you
lusty quest
if you want to add a command handler backup the entire bot. since you will edit not only the package.json
still merlin
I cant be bothered to install all of my packages again so I copied node modules package.json and package.lock.json to my other folder
.-.
solemn latch
how many packages do you have installed
pale vessel
why are you guys talking about package.json
digital ibex
ur node_modules folder should be in the root directory of the folder, but ig you don't have to do that

iterate through guilds, then save the members count in a variable, thats probably the most accurate way

it to send the inverted image into the channel

and invert the image d- ok
pure lion
wait ill buffer it ๐

u need to provide an actual url

:ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
digital ibex
and then u just do .invert(url) or whatever

i am confusion
@pure lion me 2 XD

not sure but you can only delete up to 100 per request

all of the rate limits are on the developer docs

I still don't know how to invert it xd

i just wanna know ie, how many .delete() i can call say every 5s

okay

@misty sigil use opacity

or in the send

opacity: 0

@digital ibex doesn't that remove the links?
digital ibex
opacity?
pale vessel
let inverted = new Discord.MessageAttachment(
invert, 'inverted.png'

pale vessel
apparently not since the module is broken and can't load URLs
turbid bough
weird
pale vessel
yeah, it's stupid
turbid bough
ah buy nvm i didnt see he wanted to modify the image too
misty sigil
i think i got rid of the wrong thing
turbid bough
files must be an input of Array<FileOptions> or Array<BufferResolvable>
FileOptions then needs BufferResolve
and then a name, which is optional
pure lion
how would i do that
pure lion
okbrb
pale vessel
how about using a module that isn't completely dogshit
turbid bough
can you double check if it is a buffer at all?
solemn latch
canvas is kinda nice 
pure lion
it logs the image before
turbid bough
console.log(buffer);
pure lion
as buffer

hmm
pale vessel
did you use toBuffer()?

you didn't

alright ill try then again

let invert = image.invert() // remove await because you don't need it
let buffer = await image.toBuffer()
// load as buffer

north hollow
But where do I put that
lyric mountain
Right question is where you DON'T put it
solemn latch
user is a collection.
https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/User
when someone says user.send, they just mean, send it to a user collection
north hollow
What
north hollow
No I just need the code with my code
lyric mountain
lyric mountain
Get the user object -> open the user's dm channel -> build the message -> send to that channel
solemn latch
so, you have the collection named message, and you know the way to send a dm is with
user.send()
so you can go to the docs, for message
https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/Message
and it will tell you how to do that
you want to pm the author, so you follow the properties of message,
its https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/Message?scrollTo=author
that link tells you, you get a User back
north hollow
I still don't get it but ok
solemn latch
okay. you have a message, and you want to know more about the properties of message right?
north hollow
Ya
solemn latch
so you can go to the docs, and itll tell you all about message.
these are all the things that you can do with message.
your looking to pm the author of the message, go to that section
and itll tell you this
message.author
will give you the author
if you click on the type(User)
itll give you the list of properties and methods of a user
if you look at the method, .send()
it tells you, that it sends a dm to that user
docs, are a chain you follow to get you the info you want
if you follow that chain, you get that information
north hollow
Ah am bad at coding I'm confused but can you put it in for my code
solemn latch
i am trying to teach you how to use docs, so you never have to ask these questions again
and can find it yourself
north hollow
Okay but can you at least show me example
solemn latch
i just did
north hollow
O
north hollow
So like this
.setFooter(message.author.tag,message.author.displayAvatarURL());
message.user.send(embed)
lyric mountain
Just asking, but where did u get that code you currently have?
north hollow
I made it
lyric mountain
Really?
north hollow
Okay my friend made
solemn latch
so close, the property to get the user, is author
message.author.send(embed)
here it is in the doc
https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/Message?scrollTo=author
anyway, the point i was trying to make, is the docs explain everything, and just play around with the discordjs docs
lyric mountain
Thank u, knowing your level of experience is the first step to knowing how to help u
north hollow
.setFooter(message.author.tag,message.author.displayAvatarURL());
message.author.send(embed)
Like that
lyric mountain
I'd recommend watching some videos about d.js
Videos explain a lot better than text
And keep the docs open at all times
Whenever you have questions just jump into the docs
solemn latch
the docs are the bread and butter of a developer
north hollow
I like doing in text
lyric mountain
The bread is the internet
solemn latch
solemn latch
its just the channel thats "created" between two users
feral granite
How could I move a user to a voice channel using Discord.NET
north hollow
O ok
feral granite
Can't find anything
north hollow
And what for dms
solemn latch
you can send PMs that way, its more of something for creating a message collector, or checking if a user is typing
yeah, you can use DMChannel if you want, theres no real reason to. both work fine
north hollow
I need it to send it to the user dm not in a channel
solemn latch
well, like i said
message.author.send
sends it to the dm,
or if you wanna bother with dmchannel, you can use that
a DM is sent into a channel, its just a special type of channel, between two users
north hollow
What is Dm like in a Channel or like it was send it to them
solemn latch
your just asking the same question
solemn latch
a DM is a channel, its just one between two users
north hollow
And how do a pm
solemn latch
okay?
north hollow
๐ค
solemn latch
so
DM means direct message
if you didnt know
send, means send to the thing its being applied to
so author.send means, send to the user author
or DM him
why you gotta troll me like this 
solemn latch
send, sends to the thing its being applied to
if you send something to a user
it goes to that user
and that user only
solemn latch
author
north hollow
.setFooter(message.author.tag,message.author.displayAvatarURL());
message.author.send(embed)
Like that
solemn latch
yep
solemn latch
well, the answer was given instantly
you ignored it
so i tried to teach you how to use docs
then i gave you the answer, and you continued to say it was wrong
north hollow
Me : ๐ You : ๐ค ๐
solemn latch
its annoying to answer a question, and to have the answer ignored
repeatedly
for 20 minutes
especially since i stopped working on my own project to help 
north hollow
O ok
feral granite
How the fuck do I stop my bot from exceeding rate limits
Im using code to make temporary voice channels and now it just wont turn on
feral granite
I don't know how the rate limits work is the problem
shy turret
also add a cooldown if not alr
feral granite
I think I get why it happens, just have no idea how to fix
shy turret
Clients are allowed 120 events every 60 seconds, meaning you can send on average at a rate of up to 2 events per second.
You can make a function which allow up to 2 events every 1 second.
feral granite
To get it to start working again though, should I just wait for the rate limits to settle back down>
feral granite
Huh
shy turret
about a minute
feral granite
Does discord.net have a system to tell you how much have been cut from that budget or do I need to count them? If so Im not sure how to count events
I knew I wasn't sending requests that often, but turns out I had a while to handle old voice channels using a bool = true as apposed to bool == true
midnight pike
Hi in this code I am trying to react with the 1๏ธโฃ emoji but I am not sure how I am supposed to input it in the parameter of the react method. I tried using unicode to put it in but It didnt work.
message.channel.send({embed: embed})
.then(message => message.react(': one :'))
.catch(err => console.log(err))
midnight pike
Their were no spaces between the colons in the code I just put spaces here so it wouldn't put the actual emoji
solemn latch
You might be able to just copy the actual emoji into the code 
midnight pike
I tried that and it just printed the unicode.
solemn latch
summer torrent
\:emoji:
midnight pike
I tried that too, it just says unkown emoji.
grizzled isle
Some emojis cant

If I have separate CPUs for both of my server and database, which should I upgrade to reduce database lag like on writing?
dusk sphinx
Do i have to download npm
earnest phoenix
@dusk sphinx it comes with nodejs
dusk sphinx
I know but do i need to download it
earnest phoenix
do you have nodejs?
dusk sphinx
Not sure
earnest phoenix
do you have something called node.js command prompt installed in your computer?
summer torrent
node -v
dusk sphinx
I never had computer
dusk sphinx
Mobile๐
dusk sphinx
Android
earnest phoenix
does it have root access?
dusk sphinx
Maybe
summer torrent
termux allows you to install nodejs on mobile iirc
earnest phoenix
i never tried installing nodejs directly into my phone before so idk
dusk sphinx
Node.js or discord.js for control the bot
earnest phoenix
do you even have anything that can run node files in your mobile?
dusk sphinx
Why
summer torrent
small keyboard/screen...
earnest phoenix
i mean i even code on my tv
dusk sphinx
Really๐
earnest phoenix
ya my tv can install ssh clients so...
dusk sphinx
That's very large
earnest phoenix
i think the simplest way to code a bot on mobile is spend a few bucks to buy a vps and access it on your mobile using a ssh client
dusk sphinx
Why vps is simple
earnest phoenix
because i dont think you can install nodejs on your iOS or android mobiles
or you can just use https://glitch.com
dusk sphinx
I try if it can install
earnest phoenix
just install an ssh client if you want to use vpss and a browser if you want to use glitch
but glitch is not recommended if you expect your bot to grow large tho
since it's actually made for webhosting and stuff
hot grove
hi someone told me about Keep Alive js and also Heroku. as this is my first project i wonder if anyone uses them and which one is more preferred?
dusk sphinx
How to make my bot worked
summer torrent
get a good hosting
summer torrent
check pinned messages
dusk sphinx
Where can i find it
copper cradle
reef mantle
lusty quest
no spoonfeeding here
but if you want a hint. you need probably a few commands and a Database
copper cradle
we can't just give you code and expect it work, you'll need tl have a lot of things which you probably don't have already
fuck I can't type

https://discordjs.guide/sequelize/currency.html#file-overview its a currency system but not that different from a inventory system
earnest phoenix
does discord js embeded message support markdown text? Trying to format messages
raven torrent
I think so
earnest phoenix
there is nothing to support lol
markdown is unrelated to it
it's strictly parsed and displayed on client side discord
turbid bough
Js does not support markdowns natively, but you can use markdown to send discord messages, and the client will render the markdown.
But if you want to render markdowns in source code 
, then you would need a plugin for that
steep garnet
problems with canvacord module.
earnest phoenix
so how would I do markdowns when sending a discord message?
turbid bough
Just send markdowns
*this is an unformatted markdown message*
Then copy that message, paste it into what you are sending to
dusk sphinx
Can anyone teach me how to do the bot system
feral aspen
Hello Following Devs.
I hope you are in good condition
Can anyone recommend me a very good bot online hosting?
As I am computer hosting and it is really not ok..
earnest phoenix
check the pins

help, i made a unmute command and its" working" . the problem is my test account is muted and there is no errors in my code but it still wont unmute my test account
lusty quest
did someone here know if you can find with Mongoose all documents where the timestamp in the doc.timestamp > Timestamp.Now ?
turbid bough
A complete mess bro
@earnest phoenix what do you mean?
rocky escarp
does anyone know what the discord dev license can give to your bot?
brittle horizon
Idk
brittle horizon
Can i get a bot developer role?
rocky escarp
Someone told me it can do something for your bot
marble juniper
then wait
hoary elm
Once itโs been approved you get the role ๐
marble juniper
and you get the role ONLY once it is approved

i made a warn command using mongodb but i don't know how to delete all data from a specific user through a command ( ex: /clearwarns @granite pagoda ) help ?
pure lion
how do i change the font colour on canvas?
earnest phoenix
Someone told me it can do something for your bot
@rocky escarp
it does nothing for bots since you can have 50 bots per account lol
the license is meant for game developers
lusty quest
@rocky escarp after the 7.10.2020 you can get more than 100 Guilds. also he gets the verifyed tag
if your bot is not verified until than its capped at 100 Guilds
lusty quest
ohh..
you can make a shop in your Discord Server
but it doesnt give anything to the bot
summer torrent
"game developer"

How do I invert the colour of the entire canvas?
inland aurora
Hey I have a command which logs the "message.guild.roles" in the console, is there a way I can get it to dm the info to the user instead
cinder patio
Dice, draw a rectangle with the size of your canvas and the color you want
inland aurora
yeah I have this but it doesnt work: message.author.send('Server Info:' message.guild.roles);
error message: (node:28776) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: DiscordAPIError: Cannot send an empty message
if I dont have 'Server info:' before
pure lion
Dice, draw a rectangle with the size of your canvas and the color you want
@cinder patio if im doing from imageLoad?

yeah I have this but it doesnt work: message.author.send('Server Info:' message.guild.roles);
anyone know what to change?

have you tried reading the error
long yew
i have
earnest phoenix
and what does it say
lusty quest
is mmbr a array?
lusty quest
its not a array its a value. try to remove the [0]
earnest phoenix
it's undefined
long yew
but it needs the 0 so that the person can't chose another pokemon
lusty quest
rip
long yew
what's bad?
long yew
idk that stuff
lusty quest
both are sqlite style databases
earnest phoenix
docs exist for that very reason
for you to learn
don't use json as a database, especially when you have data which quickly alternates, like pokemon
lusty quest
^
lusty quest
i never used quick.db and switched to Mysql then MongoDB after enmap used about 1GB ram on a bot with less than 10 Guilds
lusty quest
yes
when i think about it probably one you could look into bcs you can get a Free Database hosted for you
long yew
what is bcs?
lusty quest
because
lusty quest
i suggest looking into mongoose tutorials (node.js mongodb client)
and you can get a free MongoDB instance here https://www.mongodb.com/cloud/atlas
long yew
can u help me get started with basics of it?
lusty quest
i started using MongoDB 3 Days ago. i still learn it
long yew
oh ok
i'll continue using json until i finish my bot then try mongoDB
also do you know how i can keep my bot online all the time?
restive furnace
#getavps
restive furnace
contabo, gcloud, azure, aws?
lusty quest
i use digitalocean
long yew
how much do they all cost?
lusty quest
heroku is free but has a few downsides
long yew
ok
earnest phoenix
you should avoid completely free hosting
golden condor
^
earnest phoenix
heroku is really trash and glitch is starting to remove projects using things like uptime bots to keep the app alive

hello, my bot is offline for 1 hours
how can i fix
long yew
anyone good at js and json?
case 'pokemon':
mmbr
how do i make my code so when i write .pokemon
it shows the pokemon in the mons.json file for the user
golden condor
@stuck scaffold can you try do client.on("debug", console.log) and see what happens
quartz kindle
@long yew require the json file, then get the data based on author id, then list the contents
long yew
okayyy i'll try
golden condor
Although it isn't recommended to use a JSON db
restive furnace
@long yew that covers the basics of node.js https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zb3Qk8SG5Ms
pale vessel
yeah not even a db
long yew
yeah i'll change from json to another later on
golden condor
Alright
long yew
i just wanna get a working basic code atm
golden condor
Ok
earnest phoenix
that's not a good way to go about it
long yew
@long yew require the json file, then get the data based on author id, then list the contents
wow that is harder than it seems
earnest phoenix
write optimised code as you go
long yew
i just started using json
earnest phoenix
which is a good moment to also stop using it
long yew
oh idk much about how to use or change using it
@long yew require the json file, then get the data based on author id, then list the contents
@quartz kindle what are basic codes that i need to use to do that stuff?
golden condor
You could use a forEach
lusty quest
enmap is relatively easy to use and is not bad in the beginning
but switching later one to something like Mysql or mongodb as already suggested earlyer makes sense
earnest phoenix
mysql is really bad from my experience w it
lusty quest
its not bad if you get the hang of it
earnest phoenix
yes it is
unique nimbus
What is a database I should learn which is good for my CV 
earnest phoenix
postgres is so much more optimal
lusty quest
thats true
earnest phoenix
oracle is just not a company that targets performance
quartz kindle
any sql db is good for a cv
earnest phoenix
you can see that from their jdk distributions ๐๏ธ ๐ ๐๏ธ
lusty quest
you could run mariadb wich is atleast opensource
quartz kindle
if you learn sql, you can work with any sql-based db
lusty quest
MongoDB is also not bad
unique nimbus
I don't think many companies uses MongoDB
lusty quest
and seems to be more lightweight
quartz kindle
mongo is very popular, so definitely also a plus for a cv
unique nimbus
yes
long yew
You could use a forEach
@golden condor how?
lusty quest
array.forEach(userid => {Console.log(userid))}
long yew
ok
lusty quest
not sure if this is valid
quartz kindle
@long yew once you require your json file (mons = require("./myfile.json")), then you can access its contents using mons in the rest of your code. but then it depends how your json is structured
lusty quest
maybe nest the data per user
quartz kindle
for example if your json is structured like this js { "347593857459":["a","b","c"] } then you would do this mons[message.author.id].join(", ") for example to list a, b, c
where mons is the entire file and mons[message.author.id] is the contents of that specific id
quartz kindle
what is mmbr?
long yew
var mmbr = mons[message.author.id]
