How do I make it into a module
fossil token
sort of, he was explaining it but still I get 50% of that way I'm still learning as I said
clever garnet
im using discord.js and i have a command where i have it like two settings
one is for one webhook
another is for the other trigger
how i do that like make it detect stuff like
webhooksend (option) then text lol
opal plank
im assuming your config is in the same folder as you index
sudden hedge
Uhh, yes... ๐
opal plank
./config.json
sudden hedge
So I rename the file to /.config.json?
solemn latch
no
opal plank
no
fossil token
no
sudden hedge
no
opal plank
im assuming you are requiring it
solemn latch
./config.json
is the path to the file config.json
shy turret
How do you get text from a promise?
fossil token
erwin, sort of, he was explaining it but still I get 50% of that way I'm still learning as I said
opal plank
@shy turret you await the promise?
sudden hedge
Where do I put ./config.json to make it a correct path to config.json?
opal plank
@fossil token you should read docs, not watch friend guides
shy turret
i cant await for some reason even though i made it an async function
solemn latch
you can also .then a promise
solemn latch
if you cant use async
clever garnet
im using discord.js and i have a command where i have it like two settings
one is for one webhook
another is for the other trigger
how i do that like make it detect stuff like
webhooksend (option) then text lol
fossil token
i will do! next time! so yea know i need to search for a fix
sudden hedge
Basically this is my folder
solemn latch
divide them into args, grab the option, join the rest @clever garnet
opal plank
doesnt need to be async
sudden hedge
Thats all i have for config.json
shy turret
it's giving me undefined
clever garnet
like how do i check if the arg is a specific thing
opal plank
@sudden hedge in the index....
solemn latch
compare that arg to the specific thing
opal plank
solemn latch
if(arg[#] === thing)
sudden hedge
I never mentioned/called my config anywhere in the index-
solemn latch
shy turret
oh i know why it doesnt work
solemn latch
the error says you do
opal plank
thank you for ruining what i was trying to explain
earnest phoenix
uh
opal plank
solemn latch
opal plank
i was trying to teach him rather than spoonfeed it
solemn latch
the fastest solution doesnt always help them the most
what ./ means is kinda important
earnest phoenix
So @sudden hedge just add "./" in front of local files that arent in node_modules
opal plank
lmao i tried getting him to locate where he was calling that from for the past 14 minutes
earnest phoenix
smh
opal plank
feed vampires and they come back
earnest phoenix
sounds like a waste of everyone's time when the answer is simple...
opal plank
its precisely because its that simple that you should know about it
need a good understanding of the basics
earnest phoenix
true
sudden geyser
I mean does it really matter. Searching "file path" on Google gets you the same result
earnest phoenix
this isnt where you learn the basics
sudden hedge
I mean, I'm still learning honestly :/
opal plank
you need to know path resolveable, next time it might not be the easy same folder fix
he might need to search for something in another folder
earnest phoenix
right and i can explain paths in 1 minute if needed
earnest phoenix
no need for a 15 minute process of explanation
solemn latch
i still get lost with
../../path/file
opal plank
he was taking 15 mins cuz he didnt even know where he called it
solemn latch
things get real quick
clever garnet
if(arg[#] === thing)
@solemn latch didnt work
said arg isnt defined
clever garnet
how i define arg
solemn latch
args are typically defined as an array of each word
opal plank
more specifically this https://discordjs.guide/creating-your-bot/#start-up-code-explained
clever garnet
@opal plank ive read every page
dont send me the starter guides
solemn latch
then you know how args are defined
clever garnet
i dont
solemn latch
its on the starter pages
clever garnet
fine
earnest phoenix
more specifically https://learnxinyminutes.com/docs/javascript/ and a bash tutorial
lmao
earnest phoenix
yup
opal plank
with explanation and examples
solemn latch
i still look at them
opal plank
no need to be fussy about it
solemn latch
for diffrences between 11 and 12
clever garnet
its still very annoying when people send you a link to a guide
earnest phoenix
no need to be fussy about it
@opal plank huh?
opal plank
not you rigi
earnest phoenix
o
solemn latch
its very annoying when people have answers to questions
opal plank
solemn latch
sudden hedge
Bruh who cares abt all that links @earnest phoenix @opal plank I use/recommend this https://www.codecademy.com/learn
earnest phoenix
its still very annoying when people send you a link to a guide
@clever garnet its annoying when people help you?
codecademy is a terrible way
id prefer bing over that
lmao
opal plank
learn js first, once you do that, read docs. We send guides cuz they are more watered down documentation on how to do stuff
so its easier to pick up
though the proper way is indeed from the docs, not the guides
solemn latch
saddly docs dont have the answer to how to define args
solemn latch
its a great second or third
amber fractal
depends
web-based js is nothing like back-end js
I don't do web-based things so building a website is extremely pointless to me
sudden hedge
Well, I used links and guides and I think this is correct?
opal plank
indeed @sudden hedge
opal plank
@amber fractal add 5 buttons, and thats it

i've got this code:
const WebSocket = await connectWebSocket(Constants.GATEWAY); and im getting this error:
error: Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected reserved word ???
im using deno in JS
amber fractal
WebSocket is reserved
digital ibex
googles no help :/
its saying its await
i've done it before, and its worked perfectly fine
amber fractal
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WebSocket well it shouldnt
it's a reserved variable
delicate shore
Lol
digital ibex
any ideas, @amber fractal ?
amber fractal
can you show me the whole function?
amber fractal
lol
digital ibex
it works!!!
amber fractal
perhaps you wanted async connect()
digital ibex
yay
amber fractal
๐
digital ibex
yeah
halcyon ember
with my messagecollectors after a while it just stops recognizing the messages
digital ibex
also...
do classes work differently in deno or something??
i've got this: this.token and it cant read property of token of undefined.. and i log JSON.stringify(this) and it logs this...
{ "token": "bob" }
solemn latch
worlds worst token coverup
digital ibex
thank
sudden geyser
might as well regenerate that
sudden geyser
you tried concealing something private with see-through plastic. You should re-generate it though, as that token is bound to your account (and if anything bad happens, who knows what could happen to you)
digital ibex
oh eah
solemn latch
the api page
delicate shore
Ok
digital ibex
the code is basically just: js export default class Client { constructor(token) { this.token = token } async connect() { try { // unrelated code console.log(JSON.stringify(this)); wSS.d.token = this.token; } catch (e) { console.log(e); return e; } } } if it helps

make an array from your commands with the aliases attached. then run a loop over it and create a field for every command.
or you work with the indexes from the array and make a new "page" for every command

@zealous talon that you need to use await. (since 14.8.0 its top-level, so u dont need to use async anymore if u dont want to)
zealous talon
@restive furnace Level = Version?
zealous talon
So upgrade Node.js to the latest version?

its not needed
he suggested it bcs in the latest version you dont need to run it inside a async function

Hey guys, I've been having some trouble with my embeds on mobile for a while now... They don't display properly and rather just become these long strips without any content. I knew this happened every now and then, but with my bot it is literally every single message, so I have to scroll up and down after every command (it seems to break whenever you open the keyboard). I don't know what's causing this, but it makes the bot basically unusable on mobile. Idk where to post this but I thought someone here might have an idea :/
zealous talon
@lusty quest bcs?
lusty quest
@signal wagon blame discord
signal wagon
Ik but it didn't use to be every single message
And on other bots it's not happening
Or not as often
lusty quest
it can be a part of how you format the embed. i havent got behind it why this happens. but it looks like a bug in the IOS / Android App
signal wagon
Some of the embeds contain just a single field, some title and description as well, some contain a footer, some have inline fields, some don't
honest perch
It is a bug
signal wagon
I don't see any pattern

When I type ;clear 1, it clears 3 instead of 2 messages...
lusty quest
you know that javascript makes a 11 if you say args[1]+1 -> string + number
mild flower
how do i make it add only 1 to the number
lusty quest
make sure your arg is a number
mild flower
ok it worked thanks

whats the ${} thing for the ping to the bot in eris
@restive notch
oh sorry 'method '
golden condor
To ping someone in eris, you can use two methods:
`${member.mention}`
`<@${member.id}>`
I just couldn't connect directly

Hey. I can't figure out how to work with MongoDB on C# (.NET Core). Does anyone have an experience with MongoDB here?
So the thing I want is to upsert (i think?) some player data which is indexed by ActivePlayerId in the database.
I tried to use the UpdateManyAsync() but couldn't figure out how to set it up properly

Bot development.
feral aspen
Hi
So my bot's statistics refreshes every time I do the command node .
How can I make it refresh every 60 seconds?
earnest phoenix
elaborate
feral aspen
bot.user.setActivity(`${bot.users.cache.size} members! || a!help`, { type:"WATCHING", })
Do I add this?
bot.user.setActivity(`${bot.users.cache.size} members! || a!help`, { type:"WATCHING", }, 60000)
60000?
do I add that?
earnest phoenix
no, that's not an argument of setActivity
use the setInterval method to run the function every 60 seconds
do I add that?
@feral aspen you gotta use setInterval
This is the syntax:
setInterval(function(){
//the code you want to repeatedly run
}, the time before running it again in milliseconds);
Hope it helped you
chilly lava
Is my bot verified?
earnest phoenix
i don't know, is it?
Is my bot verified?
@chilly lava try using it in testing
Or better visit it'spage
earnest phoenix
If it shows the vote button then it is verified
opal plank
if it was, luca wouldve dm'd u
opal plank
lul
feral aspen
bot.user.setActivity(`${bot.users.cache.size} members! || a!help`, {
type:"WATCHING",
})
}, 60000);```like this?
chilly lava
Hey pls use my bot n give me ratings
earnest phoenix
Lol
feral aspen
it gave an error
earnest phoenix
Huh?
opal plank
@chilly lava not the place to advertise
feral aspen
Cannot read property 'name' of undefined
opal plank
theres no name there llol
earnest phoenix
Yeah
feral aspen
its coming from index.js
earnest phoenix
So
opal plank
so show it to us
earnest phoenix
learn to debug and read errors properly
On a different line
Not necessarily inside setInterval
chilly lava
I m not advertising i m only taking test n ratings
earnest phoenix
which is advertising
I m not advertising i m only taking test n ratings
@chilly lava then do that in #commands
opal plank
@chilly lava 'pls check my bot' is advertising, this is for development

i personally don't think so, there might be but i doubt it, a lot of languages can't be used to their fullest potential on ARM

Alright then, thanks
I'll try using the node, see how it runs
See if it is affected

@green kestrel the background is a solid color to me but I can read all the text
Unless its supposed to be a solid color idk it looks wavy like it might be more than one color
slender thistle
The background does have more than one color, in fact :^)
green kestrel
the background is a gradient of 6 shades of blue, but not important to the readability of the card
slender wagon
dusk sphinx
Is anyone did 24/7 command in bot designer for discord
green kestrel
the bigger question is... how would someone who's actual registered blind use a rank card? ๐ฎ
thanks for the feedback anyway ๐
green kestrel
i ran it through colourblindcam on an iphone, but i dont trust these apps
dusk sphinx
Wow
slender wagon
lol
green kestrel
sometimes they have no clue, e.g. blue/red etc
green kestrel
my boss at work is one of the rarer types of colour blindness, and hes the go-to for checking accessibility of colours for work stuff but i can hardly call him up about personal projcts lol

Would it be possible to run commands for a bot in the command line? ie say the bot had a command called hello.js can you run it without calling the command on a server
green kestrel
yes
you'd need to 'seed' your environment to allow it, e.g. have some kind of setup that sets the correct parameters for the message event, so your bot actually thinks a message has arrived
i have something in my bot that lets the website insert a command into an sql table that is then executed as that user, as far as the bots concerned it's a CREATE_MESSAGE websocket event that it came from
my code wont help you though unless you feel like porting C++/aegis to whatever youre using
slender wagon
so u execute a command from the website?
green kestrel
i can execute two specific commands from the website, yes, as the user who's logged in
to start and stop trivia
slender wagon
that's cool
inland aurora
Thanks
green kestrel
it lets me do this
inland aurora
whats the name of your bot?
green kestrel
and also start on schedule, for premium users, so they can say they want a game to start at 8pm every night
@inner dirge
slender wagon
u got premium?
green kestrel
its my bot, so yes ๐
oh wait, you mean i have a premium system? yes
it integrates with stripe and chargebee
slender wagon
yeah is it going good?
green kestrel
meh, so so
within the first week i had a yearly premium, no new ones since then yet though
slender wagon
oh
dusk sphinx
I am confident for doing 100 of trivia
green kestrel
but its only been running a month, and not getting premium subs wont mean it shuts down or anything
the premium subs cover the additional cost of the computing resource needed for the things in premium
like faster rounds etc
slender wagon
is stripe better than paypal?
green kestrel
i think so, the percentages they take are much lower, it looks more professional, and they dont freeze your account just for making your first $1000 or whatever
dusk sphinx
So..the premium has price
slender wagon
they have their own api?
green kestrel
yeah
green kestrel
stripe are all about api, its very neat and tidy
green kestrel
well, stripe is a proper payment gateway
slender wagon
so stripe isn't available on my country
green kestrel
i dont think you can sign up for it legally until youre old enough to sign a contract in whatever country you are based in
because it needs direct debit details and BACS details etc
the only thing to watch out for is chargebacks
delicate shore
hey @green kestrel can u come in #topgg-api for a min
green kestrel
and by extension... fraud ๐
slender wagon
shit sucks :/
green kestrel
i use two services together, stripe and chargebee
stripe is the payment processor
chargebee handles recurring payments, dunning, etc etc, and is very cool, its free for your first $100k of revenue]
and it can use any payment processor you can think of... including paypal
so you could do chargebee/paypal
lusty quest
you could use patreon as a alternative. still charges somewhere between 3-12% of each payment as a fee and you need to make yourself a workaround for getting the Discord User id of them but it can work
green kestrel
stripe can handle recurring payments by itself, but chargebee is better at it
yeah patreon takes a huge cut
stripe take like 1.4% + 20 cents per transaction
so im not out of pocket on a $3/mo premium
lusty quest
patreon actually only charges you the "premium" features on each subscription not a monthly fee wich is nice
green kestrel
on chargebee i pass the discord user id into their api when i make the shopping cart at https://triviabot.co.uk/premium and it sends it back via the webhook if they purchase, which redirects them to pick a guild to put the premium on
each time they subscribe it gives them a 'credit' they can spend making one guild premium, a bit like how mee6 does it
civic parrot
-bots @civic parrot
gilded plankBOT
green kestrel
once they spend that credit, its permenantly attached there until they cancel their subscription or ask me to move it to another guild
lusty quest
this is cool. i use patreon rn. but for getting the non existing premium features you need to be on my Discord server
green kestrel
@civic parrot wrong channel for bot commands
civic parrot
sorry. not sure which channel to to post to.
green kestrel
probably #commands or #265156322012561408 would be best ๐
civic parrot
ok thanks
green kestrel
np
@lusty quest if you did a proper api integration with patreon rather than relying on their bot granting a role, you'd be able to do away with that requirement
lusty quest
patreon API doesnt return the Discord UserID
green kestrel
their API sucks dog balls though
lusty quest
i know and got discontinued last month
green kestrel
it did?!
lusty quest
yes
green kestrel
what, the whole api?
lusty quest
they cant maintain it longer
green kestrel
or just the bot?
green kestrel
so what, theyre just relying now on everyone who uses patreon being a youtuber?
thats really stupid
green kestrel
im really glad i didnt use it now...
thats just so not 2020
everyone else is moving forward, theyre moving backwards
thick stream
-bot
green kestrel
if you asked the web admins here what to use, they'd say donatebot
but it uses paypal only, so... thats a no from me personally
lusty quest
its stupid. it limits what content creators with websites, games,etc that got a patreon integration can do
rip chargebee wants 250โฌ/month. i guess i stuck with patreon for now
ohh nvm its free until a certain amount of transactions per year
green kestrel
yeah, its free for your first $100k
which is a LOT of transactions
$100k of revenue, no matter when, so it might take you 30 years to reach that it might take you 6 months
if it takes you 6 months i doubt $250 a month will bother you
btw read this
covid near killed them off, odd for basically an online business, what, they cant work from home?!
lusty quest
funny enought if i would reach 100k/year i better had started a company after the first 2k or i get some issues with Tax Frauds
green kestrel
exactly
well in the UK i can operate as a sole trader as big as i like
i could be making millions a year but not be a registered limited company, so long as i properly declare my taxes
there comes a point though where that simply doesnt make sense
e.g. if i remember right you need to be VAT registered to claim VAT back, and to do that i think you need to be a limited company, but im not an accountant...
lusty quest
yea i think you need to be a registered company for this
green kestrel
are you in the UK?
lusty quest
germany
green kestrel
ah ok
zenith terrace
I thought that said soul trader for a second
green kestrel
i was able to do it all without needing to be a limited company, but if needed i have pleanty of company documentation for my sole trader stuff that i can send people, ive used it to open accounts at cash and carry's and all sorts ๐
lusty quest
did some research on the tax stuff before i created the patreon page i have now (just to make sure to know when i need to start with the taxes etc)
green kestrel
basically all you need is an invoice with your home address on it
one to you, and one from you
at least here in the uk
light jackal
Twoja stara Adrian
green kestrel
thats enough to prove youre a business operating as a sole trader for most of them
lusty quest
i have a friend who had a hosting company for about 2 years but closed it down to focus on school
he got Tons of invoices from this and he needs to keep them for 10 years
green kestrel
yeah
if youre making a serious go of it best to sign up for something like xero for that
(which chargebee can integrate with btw)
or just keep your invoices in chargebee
north silo
civic parrot
@green kestrel is there any command to see the queue position of my Bot? or is the queue info private?
green kestrel
@north silo #topgg-api
the info is not available even to us mods, @civic parrot we just see a list of bots and cant tell what position really apart from by guessing, even then we arent allowed to share the info
lusty quest
time to think about premium rewards. still got no idea what to do and not to kill off other stuff with it.
green kestrel
what kind of bot is your bot @lusty quest ?
btw you should join my guild because your name fits... tons of people there changed their nicks Brain-2 Brain-3 etc lol
๐
civic parrot
Hmmnn. I see. No worries. Was just wondering if my bot is anywhere near to being noticed. ๐
lusty quest
mostly a Utility Bot for Warframe -> Looking Up the FandomWiki, Fetching Droplocations from Items, Rotations for some special Missions and some smaller stuff.
got also a meme command but this already generates me Votes on DBL
green kestrel
hmmm, is there some stuff where the user has to do a command to find out the info, but the bot could retrieve it in realtime and ping people directly?
something like that could be premium ๐
lusty quest
yea got a idea. but the issue is exactly this stuff do other bots but for free (they are on DBL and way larger than my bot)
green kestrel
i tend to make things premium that actually cost me money to run, e.g. running scheduled trivia games takes more cpu time, allowing faster games can put me closer to the ratelimit
lusty quest
most stuff i currently have is on demand. the "only" one where i could apply it is not used enought to justify it.
green kestrel
does your bot have clan management
lusty quest
for the 2nd bot i currently have in the query i have already ideas for Premium features
currently only a LFG command
green kestrel
if you add clans, so people can register their clan in your bot, the bot gives them a page for their clan that they can customise
then they can add other discord users to their clan
theres tons of opportunity for premium in that, for customisation etc
lusty quest
i dont think its something that will get much attention
green kestrel
im adding something like this atm for trivia teams, but for the most part it'll be free
lusty quest
(mostly bcs the largest server the bot is on is more or less one clan with 10k users on the server)
man for my auction bot its pretty easy to make premium stuff. like without you got 2-3 free Auctions for more you need premium
also its risky for me RN to get to much work into the bot bcs there is a chance that the bot will die next year depending on how the new Owners of the Game company handle it
delicate shore
if (command === "ping") {
const msg2 = await msg.channel.send(`๐ Pinging...`);

nvm

@lusty quest how many servers ur bot in
lusty quest
about 190 rn
lusty quest
i started bidding on tags. this got me the past week about 80 new guilds
thorny plover
.
opal plank
i recall when i added mine here
2 random bot servers added it
thats it 
so much for 'unique bot'
lusty quest
this is how i started. then i added rewards for voting
then i start to bid on tags
misty sigil
i dont wanna bid tho
lusty quest
if your bot is unique enought and not niche it could blow up
like without bidding i probably would still grow but not as fast as the last week
the graph shows it also
opal plank
unique enough is an understatement. The only 'competition' i have is phatomBot, which you need to install programs and it self hosted
i dont have competition in that regard when it comes to relay/integration between IRC's
lusty quest
i guess your issue is that the bot is niche i have the same issue
opal plank
its more about not having enough exposure
i dont do ads whatsoever
so you'll find it by chance
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
lusty quest
i had luck and got pretty much instant the first spot in the warframe tag without advertising. but now ive also got the Meme Bot tag this gives me about 20k views
opal plank
fair, my bot fills more of a specific role
its not much of a general-use bot
even though it has other features
i could just add those shitty trend commands and begone with it
but the problem in my case is having to implement the command 3 times for each command i write
for each command i gotta add it on the different bots
that makes it awfully hard to have 200+ commands
lusty quest
rip
green kestrel
my servers is levelling off a little these days @lusty quest
misty sigil
still your bot grew a shitton
green kestrel
yeah
lusty quest
well your baseline a month ago is what i have today

i wanna show my bot command list
