line 7 or 8?

#

same

#

but red x

bright dove Jul 29, 2020, 4:26 AM

#

is
Date.now() - message.createdTimeStamp;
not the right code for an API "ping"? it keeps coming out negative

#

huh

viral iris Jul 29, 2020, 4:29 AM

#

@earnest phoenix

#

can i give u the code on dm ?

bright dove Jul 29, 2020, 4:29 AM

#

I fixed it

#

but thanks anyway

#

the only problem I have right now is with making a dynamic embedded help message, with different commands separated into categories

#

I have a dynamic help message, but it's just plain text and looks ugly

#

I don't know how to list the commands by their category

#

that wouldn't be dynamic

#

adds the new commands itself when they're created, so I don't have to edit the help embed everytime a command is added

earnest phoenix Jul 29, 2020, 4:40 AM

#

hello guys

#

help me?

bright dove Jul 29, 2020, 4:40 AM

#

for the plain-text one or the embedded one?

#

all I've done so far is set up the embed

#

lemme ss

#

in the original one, I had it map over the commands collection and list them all by name, but I can't figure out how to do that by category so that I could list utility commands under utility, etc.

@earnest phoenix Ok, what do you need?
@earnest phoenix Well, I have a bot, it has been under verification for a long time, I would like to know if anyone knows how long it takes to verify, does anyone know?

bright dove Jul 29, 2020, 4:42 AM

#

3 weeks or more

earnest phoenix Jul 29, 2020, 4:43 AM

#

@earnest phoenix Around 3+ weeks
@earnest phoenix 1 month then right, ok thanks for the help man!

bright dove Jul 29, 2020, 4:46 AM

#

would that mess up this?

📎 YoMJaYBoWpgAAAAASUVORK5CYII.png

#

or does it search the entire commands folder, regardless if there's other folders in it

#

how can I edit this code to also search through the other folders? sorry I'm very new to this

Reaction menus are just a set of embeds in an array, when the author reacts with an emoji move forward a page.
When the author reacts back, move back

its annoying right

Not really, its just editing an embed.

I saw a bot have it

hazy sparrow Jul 29, 2020, 5:07 AM

#

const command = args.shift().toLowerCase();
 
 


 client.commands.find(command => command.aliases && command.aliases).execute(message);

    if (!command) return;

I have only 1 command with alias which is bottleflip now every command will run the bottleflip.js . Any help?

lusty quest Jul 29, 2020, 5:08 AM

#

well you tell your bot to only execute aliases

karmic compass Jul 29, 2020, 5:08 AM

#

More of just a curious question but how do I make a !ping command to check the latency of the bot

lusty quest Jul 29, 2020, 5:09 AM

#

client.ws.ping <- console.log this (d.js)

#

this shows the ping to the API. if you want the ping between user and bot create a timestamp on command execution and compare it with the message created timestamp of the command message

karmic compass Jul 29, 2020, 5:10 AM

How? Can I have an example, I’m a little new to this :/

#

I'm having trouble adding bots to my server and was wondering if anyone here knew how to help me or at least explain why I can add them

#

-.-

#

https://dontasktoask.com/

Don't ask to ask, just ask

#

Um ....

#

That didn't help nor did it make sense -.-

#

don't ask to ask, just ask your damn question properly

#

I did

#

;-;

#

i unfortunately do not have a crystal ball and cannot see what is inside of your mind so you'll have to put in a bit more effort to explain your problem

#

what error do you get, what exactly doesn't work

#

I'm having trouble adding bots to my server I have an Android so usually I have to open it in a browser but the browser won't open instead it brings me back to the homepage of that particular bot and it says something like they're making improvements but I wanted to know if the improvements will affect people making it so not everyone will be able to add bots.....is that better?(￣ヘ￣;)

#

then you cant add that particular bot

#

this also isn't development related

#

Oh I'm sorry

#

Thank you so much for your patience but I think it's best if I go (￣ヘ￣;)

I've never really worked too much with message editing, and especially not embed editing.

earnest phoenix Jul 29, 2020, 6:42 AM

discord offers no support to edit a single property of an embed

so yes you will have to reconstruct the entire embed

#

correct, aprixia

summer acorn Jul 29, 2020, 6:45 AM

#

I suppose, editing a field from that would be difficult, so the closest thing I could do would be to copy the information, information which however I already have in my database in the object including the message id, hence it making it easier to construct a new embed.

Discord.js

Discord.js is a powerful node.js module that allows you to interact with the Discord API very easily. It takes a much more object-oriented approach than most other JS Discord libraries, making your bot's code significantly tidier and easier to comprehend.

do you think i should migrate my bot's database to mongodb?

I was undecided

i switched to mongo

and now i switched back to json

lmao

i prefer json because of its simplicity - but ima need a lot of files to make it scalable

im doing 1 file per guild

#

my friends say mongo.db

unique nimbus Jul 29, 2020, 7:33 AM

Json is not a database and should not be used as one

Json is good to be used for static data

Many people uses MongoDB here and that should be used as a database

json is great for starting out, especially if you're new to databases and/or making a new bot, but going long term your best bet would be to use a database

unique nimbus Jul 29, 2020, 7:35 AM

#

json again is not a database

#

but its good to learn how to use json

fluid basin Jul 29, 2020, 7:35 AM

(I didn't say it was a database)

unique nimbus Jul 29, 2020, 7:35 AM

#

you stated that its great if you are new to databases

#

and making a new bot

#

so I assumed json files

fluid basin Jul 29, 2020, 7:37 AM

#

anyways let me rephrase that, if you only need to keep mostly long-term persistent data that doesn't need to be updated regularly, you could use json files

#

like server configs

why tf is mongodb java driver so confusing

fluid basin Jul 29, 2020, 7:38 AM

bad experience using mongodb on either c# or java using default drivers

earnest phoenix Jul 29, 2020, 7:38 AM

i got it to work somehow lol

unique nimbus Jul 29, 2020, 7:39 AM

#

There are other databases not just mongo

#

like fuckin sql

#

lmao

#

but

#

json is good for static data

#

it is not good for adding/changing/removing data constantly as that can make it corrupted

#

especially if you don't use it correctly

earnest phoenix Jul 29, 2020, 7:41 AM

#

its not going to get corrupted smh

#

and it is scalable, you just need to separate it into many files so you can keep them under 4MB

#

1 file per guild or user in my case

#

dont need a database lmao

unique nimbus Jul 29, 2020, 7:46 AM

#

@earnest phoenix can you please tell Rigi why its not a good idea

#

seperate files does not even make it scalable either

it just makes a mess

@feral aspen

this is something that is theoretically possible but in practice impossible. you would have to spam GET messages endpoint until you hit the beginning of the channel for every single text channel in the guild. this can lead to an API ban or account termination.

TLDR; there isnt a way to do that

A bot like Boat Bot

earnest phoenix Jul 29, 2020, 9:28 AM

#

some might track messages after they're added (due to receiving the event) however backtracking is practically impossible without being api banned

which features

feral aspen Jul 29, 2020, 9:28 AM

#

?

earnest phoenix Jul 29, 2020, 9:29 AM

#

which exact feature is it that tracks messages like that

feral aspen Jul 29, 2020, 9:29 AM

#

I actually don't know, but I see some servers sent messages having it track messages

#

and for the Boat bot

#

when you do a!server , it will send a statistics showing how many messages was sent

earnest phoenix Jul 29, 2020, 9:30 AM

#

then it isn't backtracking, it's tracking new messages

feral aspen Jul 29, 2020, 9:30 AM

#

in that server

#

then it isn't backtracking, it's tracking new messages
@earnest phoenix 😐 What's the difference.

summer acorn Jul 29, 2020, 9:30 AM

#

@silver dust I am not an expert, but I don't think both reducing and forEaching an array is a thing, to be honest.

<#development message>

#

you receive MESSAGE_CREATE as long as you can see the channel

#


const $ = fn => {
    const path = [];
    const proxy = new Proxy(fn.bind(path), {
        get: (obj, prop) => {
            path.push(prop);
            return proxy;
        }
    });
    return proxy;
};

$(function(...args) {
    console.log(args, this);
}).hello.world.and.proxy(1, 2, 3);

// [1, 2, 3] ["hello", "world", "and", "proxy"]```

#

mm lol

#

MESSAGE_CREATE does not occur for past messages which is why you need to GET them in the first place

feral aspen Jul 29, 2020, 9:31 AM

#

you receive MESSAGE_CREATE as long as you can see the channel
@earnest phoenix Oh.

earnest phoenix Jul 29, 2020, 9:32 AM

#

spamming that GET request leads to an automatic API ban, hit the ban more than once and you'll experience account termination

summer acorn Jul 29, 2020, 9:32 AM

#

@earnest phoenix you could make it not be against rate limits by adding your own rate limits to it

yeah but that can potentially take days to finish

summer acorn Jul 29, 2020, 9:32 AM

plus it's in cache

restart the bot and poof it's gone

Didn't they say they would store the amount in a txt file?

earnest phoenix Jul 29, 2020, 9:33 AM

#

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

summer acorn Jul 29, 2020, 9:34 AM

#

but then again

#

they'd have to store the id instead

#

an array of message ids

#

so that it doesn't re-do a lot of them upon restart

earnest phoenix Jul 29, 2020, 9:34 AM

#

you would have to account for bot downtime, then refetch messages again

it simply isn't reliable and you cannot do that

summer acorn Jul 29, 2020, 9:35 AM

#

I know it isn't reliable, though message ids would be the most reliable method

quartz kindle Jul 29, 2020, 9:35 AM

#

if you simply want to count them, just store the delimiter id for each request

#

in a database or something

#

it will likely still take days

Once you learn that, the answer will become very clear to you.

also node.js has top-level await, means you DONT need to use async with async db's :DD

(in 14.6.0)

Depends on what you'll use. I use mongoose, which connects to mongodb.

quick.db is good but not scalable, you should use mongo db or proper sql they are much more scalable. There are wrappers for mongo that make it like quick.db, I have made one and so have many other people.
i use quick.db because i store everything on a single machine

golden condor Jul 29, 2020, 10:49 AM

#

Mongo would be better as you can use it across multiple machins

summer acorn Jul 29, 2020, 10:49 AM

yes

wdym discord uses it too i've never seen "Checking your browser" messages

@golden condor what if you use repl.it because you don't have any money to do that technical stufffffffffff

||or because you're lazy||

golden condor Jul 29, 2020, 10:51 AM

MongoDB clusters my friend

summer acorn Jul 29, 2020, 10:51 AM

mongo still works

#

with repl, mongo is a much better option

earnest phoenix Jul 29, 2020, 10:51 AM

#

mongoose are not cool irl

#

with repl, mongo is a much better option
why

summer acorn Jul 29, 2020, 10:51 AM

#

as on repl, you risk data getting lost when storing it directly

golden condor Jul 29, 2020, 10:51 AM

why not use mongoose's built in functions? This just over complicates things

earnest phoenix Jul 29, 2020, 10:51 AM

there is a small YT Tutorial series that uses Csharp+ and for now it looks pretty much braindead to use. like compared to JS its so easy to use

why do u wanna encrypt stuff @earnest phoenix ?

lusty quest Jul 29, 2020, 11:11 AM

if you would use a external DB i would encrypt Names atleast

@pure lion .gitignore prevents it from cloning specific files when someone git clones your repo

I get this error:

But if i do anything else it works completely fine

If i try to set f.e. the Name it works fine

Ratelimit i think

tight plinth Jul 29, 2020, 11:24 AM

only executes once every 5 seconds so should be fine with ratemimits

sterile minnow Jul 29, 2020, 11:24 AM

try every 30

tight plinth Jul 29, 2020, 11:24 AM

context: this edits the "now playing" message to display the timestamp of the song (like 0:05/3:33)

Running the code for my bot on my PC seems to work fine but when I run it off my pi, all the event functions take hours to load. I'm guessing there's some sort of connection issue, any ideas?

What is the error

digital ibex Jul 29, 2020, 11:28 AM

shouldnt be a connection issue because its local, for the pi

#

not sure why thats happening, have you tried contacting your provider?

cloud pebble Jul 29, 2020, 11:30 AM

#

There is no error message, the code is this bit:

async def on_ready():
    print("Bot is online")
    # update_bm.start()```
It will work if I wait long enough. I'm hosting it on my Internet so that's why im guessing something is blocking the pi

is there anyway i can encrypt the data before saving it in quick.db

with the password as the variable password

you dont need to encrypt it, you've already been told

yes

#

and my repl.it is visible too

digital ibex Jul 29, 2020, 11:48 AM

#

add the file where it has sensitive data to the gitginore

earnest phoenix Jul 29, 2020, 11:48 AM

#

i didn't upload it to github and added it to gitignore

#

what is better Quick.db or MongoDB ?

#

but the json.sqlite file is still visible on my repl.it

#

what is better Quick.db or MongoDB ?
quick.db for beginners and mongodb for advanced

digital ibex Jul 29, 2020, 11:49 AM

#

use a .env, repl.it automatically hides the data from in that file who aren't the owner

earnest phoenix Jul 29, 2020, 11:50 AM

#

???

#

huh

#

i thought we can only store variables

digital ibex Jul 29, 2020, 11:50 AM

theres no correlation between mongodb and quick.db apart from it ofc storing data, afaik

and mongodb is better im sure in everyones opinion

lemme try :

An easy solution to your problem would be to use a VPS, nobody would be able to access any files you've got on there unless you tell them the password. I don't think there's a way to hide files in repl (other than your .env file which is automatically hidden)
