tranquil marlin
any suggestions
tranquil marlin
djs
sick cloud
so i have some code thing that checks for words in a message
and i'm trying to check for rent
but it always triggers on others like different
how do i fix that
tranquil marlin
ik that but problem is different
i want to limit user permission
not role permission
solemn latch
using regex?
tranquil marlin
ait ill try something
snow urchin
solemn latch
whatcha mean cant find how?
sick cloud
@solemn latch could you give me an example then
solemn latch
send(parsedinfo)
drifting wedge
wait so
tranquil marlin
does @everyone have an id
sick cloud
@tranquil marlin yes
solemn latch
the guilds id
misty sigil
its the guild ID
tranquil marlin
oh
misty sigil
<@&264445053596991498> = <@&264445053596991498>
solemn latch
@sick cloud
sick cloud
okay
drifting wedge
but like
sick cloud
and i assume i can't use template literals in regex right
drifting wedge
async def on_member_join(member):
with open('wchannel.json', 'r') as f:
wc = json.load(f)
with open('welcome.json', 'r') as f:
welcomemsg = json.load(f)
channel = 'wc'
await client.get_channel(741842774223224894).send(f"{welcomemsg}")```i would not send it
?/
im hella confused
thats my code
drifting wedge
right, how can I send only the one i want
solemn latch
as everyone said earlier, you will be confused the entire time if you dont learn python before making bots
solemn latch
well, this is not a python teaching channel
thick gull
???? just not for a bit
solemn latch
if you cannot reasonably debug issues yourself, i cant really help you 
sick cloud
well, does anyone know how to use variables in regex then
solemn latch
js right?
solemn latch
you might be able to use new RegExp(``)
i think that might actually work, but i really cant be sure
sick cloud
and to check for a match, i do regex.match(string) right?
sick cloud
ah
solemn latch
match does return an array of all matches.
sick cloud
so new RegExp('b', stringToCheckFor, 'b') maybe
wait new RegExp doesn't accept b @solemn latch
opaque eagle
Hey... I'm pretty good with Discord bots and programming in general but I'm clueless when it comes to voice bots... what's lavalink about
misty sigil
music bot
opaque eagle
Yeah I know that much
but what's the difference between lavalink and regular ffmpeg
misty sigil
holy mother of pogging
subtle kiln
opaque eagle
oh
misty sigil
i just realised i have a /112 block of ipv6 ips
honest perch
Lavalink has much higher quality
opaque eagle
so not worth it?
misty sigil
can i make a music bot now
subtle kiln
sick cloud
i still want help with regex 
obtuse jolt
import time
from random import *
waittime = randint(3, 30)
input('Press enter when you are ready to begin!\n')
print('Get ready!')
time.sleep(waittime)
start_time = time.time()
input('\n -- PRESS ENTER NOW -- \n')
end_time = time.time()
t = (end_time - start_time) * 1000
time = str(t)
if(t < 250):
print("Stop hacking! You did it in " + time + "ms!")
else:
if(t < 500):
print("Slow down there cheatah! You did it in " + time + "ms!")
else:
if(t > 501):
print("Lookin' a bit slow there! You did it in " + time + "ms!")
else:
print("Better luck next time! You did it in " + time + "ms!")
here do this i got 365.28682708740234ms
amber fractal
@sick cloud what are you trying to do?
opaque eagle
I wish I could understand all of the nuances of regex
amber fractal
It's fucky
opaque eagle
but rn I know enough to do what i need to do so meh
amber fractal
It's really useful though
opaque eagle
yeah
amber fractal
not too performant tho lmao
opaque eagle
It's super handy for find and replace when i use vim
when editing config files and stuff u can remove the comments really easily and what not
sick cloud
@amber fractal match for words, but not catch them wrong
https://discordapp.com/channels/264445053596991498/272764566411149314/742138420448591924
see ^
solemn latch
\b works fine in js,
im just not sure how to do
\b${name}\b\
amber fractal
\W(${word})\W should work shouldnt it?
solemn latch
\b is just a word boundry
solemn latch
amber fractal
yeah /\brent\b/g
so new RegExp(`\b${word}\b`, "g") I just add g, not sure if you need it
warm marsh
Depends on what you're doing.
amber fractal
That's why I said idk if he needs it
warm marsh
oh yeah.
amber fractal
idk what he's doing
warm marsh
mb
sick cloud
well i wanna match the first set only tbh
amber fractal
oh then yeah you dont even need the global tag
summer torrent
anyone know how can I fix this https://i.imgur.com/6YVN6Lb.png
sick cloud
like if the word is pine i want it to match on
isn't that a nice pineapple, it looks very pineapple-y
only the first
and also how do i actually check to see if it's matched
const matches = msg.content.toLowerCase().match(new RegExp(`b${x.name}b`));
do you want the matches?
warm marsh
if not matches return or something
sick cloud
i only need to know a true/false if the word was found in there
as its in a .find block
amber fractal
Then I'd use <RegExp>.test(string)
It's a little more performant because it only returns a boolean
sick cloud
docs.find((x) => {
return new RegExp(`b${x.name.toLowerCase()}b`).test(msg.content.toLowerCase());
});```looks good for me
amber fractal
Yeah, did the backslashes get removed on copy paste?
you want to escape the b with a backslash to create a word boundary
solemn latch
ay
amber fractal
It's stupid, but the backslash is escaping the b and you need a \b to show in the regex
solemn latch
i couldnt figure it out
amber fractal
\b is some different thing probably
solemn latch
i have like 2 pages of console commands in devtools
amber fractal
lol
solemn latch
trying to figure it out
amber fractal
I remember that happened to me once
amber fractal
👍
sick cloud
one more question
how do i sort an array of objects by the character length of a property
specifically name
solemn latch
sort
sick cloud
so 1 character ones like a come first, then longer ones like apple last
solemn latch
sick cloud
but how in sort
warm marsh
Doing it how you'd normally do it but instead do something like a.prop -b.prop
sick cloud
does that take special chars into account
solemn latch
you can make the compare function as complex as you need
if its just length, it will count each special character as one
iirc
solemn latch
yeah, its kinda weird the demo
amber fractal
https://oliy.is-just-a.dev/8hiuym_5526.png this is really all you need to remember
< 0 first element passed goes in front > 0 second element passed goes first
amber fractal
a - b results in ascending order, b - a results in descending
It's weird because of how it runs through the array
stray pecan
Hola cuánto tiempo tengo que espera a que mi bot sea oficial?
solemn latch
yeah, interesting stuff
amber fractal
like if you log the element too
stray pecan
How long do I have to wait for my bot to be official?
amber fractal
rn it's 3 weeks+
stray pecan
That's a lot D:
sick cloud
my bot is bout 75 servers off a new milestone 😎
solemn latch
hype
strange trout
Epic
strange trout
My useless bot is about to hit 1000 servers
solemn latch
probably doesnt help ive not worked on anything in like 4 weeks
amber fractal
when you hit 69,420 stop accepting new servers
solemn latch
^
quartz kindle
congrats tony :3
amber fractal
if(guilds > 69420) guild.leave()
strange trout
My bot has 3 commands
strange trout
It just scrapes a website for random conversation topics
sick cloud
lmao i want less servers please
then i can devote more of it's server to my web project
amber fractal
your bot gets youtube info and lyrics right?
sick cloud
@amber fractal more than that rn
quartz kindle
yeah it gets to that point where you want people to stop adding your bot
sick cloud
it also sends a msg when a channel uploads
quartz kindle
because it uses too much resources and becomes a pain to maintain lmao
amber fractal
Tim how many servers is your bot in now?
quartz kindle
idk like 4k
amber fractal
pubhubsubbub
sick cloud
the hard limit is set as 10 yt channel notifiers per server but some guy wanted like 10,000
amber fractal
Linking my bot to that was actually retarded
quartz kindle
4443 guilds lol
quartz kindle
like your bot notifies when someone uploads a new vid?
amber fractal
Lemme see if I can get the details on my webhook
quartz kindle
so basically that dude wanted his entire subscriptions list on discord lmao
sick cloud
yep
solemn latch
it can
sick cloud
i get only a few invs from dbl
quartz kindle
you know what you could do tho? you could have an option for people to use their own google api keys for such personal things
sick cloud
like only 100-200 per month
yeah true
we have a huge key we use with 500k quota
thing is
if they use their key
and it spams
they block our IP
quartz kindle
ye but its still your bot using it, you control the requests
sick cloud
possibly
quartz kindle
its just load taken off of your main key
amber fractal
https://oliy.is-just-a.dev/b525jl_5528.png this made me want to die. It's no where near as bad as the twitch webhook though
also I have no idea what any of this does anymore
like why incoming[0] == "sha1" I'll never know
also fastify because
sick cloud
my server is just messy
quartz kindle
xD
my api is also a huge mess
using restana instead of fastify
but i wanna try nanoexpress
amber fractal
https://oliy.is-just-a.dev/ljhhdr_5529.png I have no idea
I dont like that I need to reverify it every day
but it's whatever
Now wanna see the mess of a twitch webhook?
quartz kindle
sure
amber fractal
It'll take 2 images I think
Have to do git stuff 1 sec
Why is github being stupid
it's saying I dont have access to my private repo when I have it open in my other monitor
quartz kindle
misty sigil
development memes
amber fractal
https://oliy.is-just-a.dev/4qwal9_5532.png this is fine, for the most part... then we have https://oliy.is-just-a.dev/1nvbwk_5533.png and https://oliy.is-just-a.dev/2otwl_5534.png and https://oliy.is-just-a.dev/kwp9bn_5535.png
will it embed 4?
Lmao jfc
I feel like it looks like a lot less not as images
I never did anything with oauth before so my code to get a token is so dumb
amber fractal
shhh shhh it'll all be over soon
long hare
is there a maxim volume for the music?
amber fractal
Depends on how good your cpu is (if you're boosting it not through discord)
long hare
I know you need a good CPU, but is there a limit who discord wrote?
or said everywhere
amber fractal
there's no hard cap on the decibels a user could potentially output I dont think
long hare
ok
solemn latch
i would presume the limit would be determined by the users sound card
misty sigil
until the discord servers blow up
long hare
yeah
amber fractal
well they blow up on a regular basis, so it's just expected
quartz kindle
lmao
amber fractal
I wonder what would happen
quartz kindle
it will just ruin the sound
amber fractal
I'm curious if you could break someone's sound card lmao
misty sigil
try{
send packet
}catch(erroir){
explod
}```is json slow?
quartz kindle
it likely wont go past some hard limit
drifting wedge
or just un secure?
misty sigil
json has to be slow
solemn latch
its not intended to be a database
misty sigil
if its fast u get corruption
amber fractal
neither of those are the reasons people dont use them
faint prism
^
solemn latch
databases are for storing data, json is for communicating data
amber fractal
Great for static data
drifting wedge
i mean would i be able to use it for a small while?
quartz kindle
json is good if you know how to use it :^)
misty sigil
change asap
faint prism
I used JSON as a DB and when it serialized wrong, it rekt itself
misty sigil
json is good if you know how to use it :^)
@quartz kindle thats just mongodb with extra steps
drifting wedge
i mean ill use it short term
drifting wedge
I KNOW
solemn latch
litterally the past 8 hours
drifting wedge
but databases are frikin hard
faint prism
It honestly isn't that hard to migrate to a proper db,
quartz kindle
my bot was using a json database until it hit 2500 servers
solemn latch
^ ok tim
drifting wedge
I am like very new to coding
solemn latch
you live on the edge
misty sigil
oh no
drifting wedge
LIKE less than 1 week
faint prism
but databases are frikin hard
@drifting wedge Not really. It's basically a dictionary collection
sick cloud
just use Enmap if you're that dumb
misty sigil
ok so
amber fractal
misty sigil
basically, databases are quite easy
quartz kindle
doesnt enmap have memory leaks lul
solemn latch
python
sick cloud
i dont use it
misty sigil
they're using py you dingus /s
midnight blaze
@quartz kindle gg, one of bot uses json as db as well. I have never had problems with it.
sick cloud
makes sense
drifting wedge
i mean for storing prefixes, and welcome messages i dont care if its not secure
amber fractal
you dont need to use a db for stuff that doesnt change
misty sigil
afaik enmap isn't persistant
sick cloud
port Enmap to py
misty sigil
right
sick cloud
and no it is
amber fractal
it is
sick cloud
you just need to add sqlite
quartz kindle
the problem is, you need to be careful when you save stuff to your json files, because if anything goes wrong, the entire file is erased/lost/broken
sick cloud
install better-sqlite3 and set persistent: true
amber fractal
backup before every write
misty sigil
backup-38238128739821739821.json
quartz kindle
so with that in mind, using a proper database might be easier than setting up a json file correctly with all necessary safety checks
amber fractal
the dbs basically handle that for you
and less stuff corrupts them
I've seen someone's json die because of unsupported characters
sick cloud
i had a dumb idea to make a json wrapper for simple projects that included safety, mainly back ups every x minutes, as well as a read write queue so only one action happens at a time
quartz kindle
for instance, you should never directly write to a json file, you should always write to a temporary file, then overwrite the original by renaming the temporary file
midnight blaze
If it is corrupt you will know tho, aint a big problem. Simply restart it and find why it got corrupt => correct it.
misty sigil
json databases aren't something you wanna do
amber fractal
or use a regular db => dont have the issue
misty sigil
Yea
sick cloud
^
misty sigil
Using a regular db is actually simpler than rigging up a proper json database
sick cloud
there's no way to make json 100% safe
amber fractal
Not to mention if you dont have a backup, it is a big problem
midnight blaze
mongoose is good to start with
sick cloud
mongoose is a nightmare
midnight blaze
how so?
sick cloud
the actual mongodb module is good
misty sigil
no way to make reg databases 100% safe
the actual mongodb module is good
@sick cloud aye, mongoose confuses me
sick cloud
^^
faint prism
List<object> MyDatabaseLol
sick cloud
i started with mongoose and got nowhere, moved to mongodb and had it working in 10 minutes
misty sigil
and mangodb module works well enough
amber fractal
I prefer the official driver over mongoose imo
sick cloud
even made my own wrapper for it
could someone help me come up with a good name/acronym of "persistent storage/store"
misty sigil
pise
sick cloud
nice
eternal flame
how can i find the uptime for my bots in ms
misty sigil
client.uptime
sick cloud
i just go based off a global date set when i run the first file
first line of index: global.startedAt = Date.now()
eternal flame
also,
eternal flame
what are cached users?
solemn latch
users in memory
eternal flame
how do they get cached\
solemn latch
if a user sends a message, that user will now be in memory
sleek gull
would cookies be stored in localStorage??
eternal flame
oh
solemn latch
stuff like that
eternal flame
do they stay there permanently?
solemn latch
if you dont clear them, yes
eternal flame
hm
solemn latch
that can be a good thing, and a bad thing
eternal flame
im trying to store cached users to put into my api
sleek gull
javascript:eval(prompt('Enter Code'));
code injection thing
but first,
you’d need to inject that code
so it’s basically useless
but it can still be used for things
eternal flame
how would i store cached users and clear them, and when would i need to clear?
solemn latch
when you say store them, do you mean store them in a database?
eternal flame
im not sure
solemn latch
cached users are already in the cache, you dont really need to store them again unless your looking for long term storage.
or another layer of cache
amber fractal
in d.js, client.users.cache.size
eternal flame
oh
sleek gull
I thought you wanted to clear the cached users
solemn latch
djs doesnt really provide an easy(maybe any) way to clear cached user iirc.
amber fractal
it's a collection...
sleek gull
is eval overused in js these days?
amber fractal
client.users.cache.clear() would work
solemn latch
if you wanted to have more control over caching, djs light
that would clear every user, which is generally undesired i would think
drifting wedge
how many lines of code is mee6?
just wondering
solemn latch
unknown
amber fractal
then client.users.cache.delete(id)
drifting wedge
i mean the bot devs dont say anything?
amber fractal
a collection is just an extended map
solemn latch
typically, you want to clear things that are not used from cache
sick cloud
using fs/path, how do i define a data dir like ./data that's always in the root folder of the project no matter where the code is running from
since this code is going in a module of sorts
eternal flame
I thought you wanted to clear the cached users
@sleek gull im not sure if i need to or not
amber fractal
I thought __dirname worked
sick cloud
well ok
and with fs how do you make a folder/make a file if it doesn't exist
otherwise open it
and also that means i can do __dirname + '/data' right
amber fractal
use existsSync(path) to check if it exists, then open it accordingly, and mkdirSync(path) or writeFile(path, data)
that should work, idk if you need to use path or not
sick cloud
okay
solemn latch
the specific bot stats will have different requirements for getting/storing @eternal flame
supple sail
Did ```js
client.shard.id
__dirname works for me without path
you cant get a shard id like that anymore. Afaik the only way to get a shard id on v12 is to look at a guild in the cache
solemn latch
for example, getting the total number of commands run would require storing in a database of some type.
getting current user count will not
eternal flame
the specific bot stats will have different requirements for getting/storing @eternal flame
@solemn latch ???
sick cloud
ok so i ran the new folder code from src/Store.js and then ran it from tests/index.js but it made the /data folder in src/data
how do i fix it so it makes it from the code dir, /tests
or the root dir itself /
amber fractal
well __dirname is the current directory the parent process is executed from I believe
sick cloud
well i did this
solemn latch
that link looks pretty good for explaining __dirname and some of its alternatives
quartz kindle
yes ^
sick cloud
can you use typeof val === array to check if something is an array
solemn latch
Arrays are considered objects i think
sick cloud
so how can i distinguish the two
earnest phoenix
I somehow doubt this, coming from Romania --> New York
earnest phoenix
Oh wait its because I'm a moron, I know what I did wrong
Mehh
Too lazy to fix
Bad code stays in
quartz kindle
Array.isArray(array)
quartz kindle
its a bit more complicated to check if something is a regular object
since literally anything can be an object, even null is an object
sick cloud
fair point
quartz kindle
one of the most popular ways to check is using this: (!!obj) && (obj.constructor === Object);
another way would be Object.prototype.toString.call(obj) === '[object Object]'
the second method still returns true for class instances, the first method doesnt
acoustic depot
What language
sick cloud
so use the first?
eternal flame
d.js
acoustic depot
ew
quartz kindle
yes i prefer using the first
acoustic depot
you can do for loops or while loops
sick cloud
d.js is not a language
sick cloud
@quartz kindle so i've got this
should work right
@eternal flame node.js/javascript is the language, discord.js is the library
learn your terms, they help
eternal flame
yeas
i know
yes*
i said
saying discord.js
shows both the libr and the lang
quartz kindle
the if should be the other way around i guess
eternal flame
.js
sick cloud
wdym tim
quartz kindle
you want to throw an error if its not an object right?
quartz kindle
that will throw an error if it is an object
quartz kindle
you can reverse it to if(!obj || obj.constructor !== Object)
sick cloud
if (!val || val.constructor !== Object)
throw new TypeError('Value must be an object');```so like that
quartz kindle
ye
torn ravine
how do you get the watch button? https://cdn.if6-dev.tk/images/DiscordPTB_D6Ku0CtMQv
golden condor
You can use the "STREAMING" status and you need to set a twitch URL in your libs setStatus equivalent
torn ravine
status: 'streaming',
activity: {
name: `Lo-Fi with ${client.users.cache.size} Users => gwhelp for help`,
type: 'STREAMING',
url: 'https://if6-dev.tk'
}
})```does fs.readFileSync use cache?
torn ravine
this is what I have so far
golden condor
Iirc no @sick cloud
sick cloud
i've written to a json file then read it again but it's exactly the same as when i read it before
hm
torn ravine
but the watch button doesn't appear
golden condor
But it might so if you clear the cache then it could walk
*work
@torn ravine you need to use a twitch link
Not any link
torn ravine
also pulse has it redirect to rick astley
golden condor
That's their twitch
torn ravine
on youtube
sick cloud
feels like my code is going too fast
torn ravine
thats strange how do I do that
sick cloud
its adding the first key to the json, but then it's overwriting it as the code doesnt know that's already there
golden condor
I'm not sure but you might be able to use a a YouTube link
sick cloud
nvm fixed it sweet
golden condor
Ok
golden condor
:+1:
eternal flame
someone give me reinforcement on what a listener as in js MaxListenersExceededWarning: Possible EventEmitter memory leak detected. 11 ready listeners added to [Client]. Use emitter.setMaxListeners() to increase limit means
ah nvm
fixed it
earnest phoenix
imagine if the runtime warnings like that wouldn't exist
eternal flame
earnest phoenix
people who never took CS would have a dedi to run a 100 guild bot 💀
eternal flame
golden condor
Lol
eternal flame
whats better for an emergencystop command, process.abort() or exit
i want it to like
immediately bring the bot offline
eternal flame
alr
regal jacinth
hey so if i want to make a dashboard do i need to learn nodejs and Javascript ?
golden condor
No
regal jacinth
?
regal jacinth
which one
golden condor
It can be done in other languages.
sick cloud
do you use pm2
regal jacinth
so i can use python in my website?
golden condor
But if you want to use node.js then yes you should have a basic understanding of js first
Yes
golden condor
You can use something like flask
eternal flame
learn*
golden condor
Iirc
winter basalt
perhaps
sick cloud
whats better for an emergencystop command, process.abort() or exit
i want it to like
immediately bring the bot offline
if you use pm2 or another program that restarts your bot if it dies, using process.exit(0) will make it reboot - process.exit(any other kind of number like 1, 2 etc) will kill it and stop it from rebooting afaik
i forget how it works
regal jacinth
lol
sick cloud
optionally call your libraries disconnect()
golden condor
You can do js or py whichever you prefer but whichever you go with, you should understand the basics first
sick cloud
much better option as it makes sure the bot instantly changes to offline
golden condor
in d.js it's client.destroy() afaik
regal jacinth
yeah i understand the basics of python already
sick cloud
used to be disconnect, my bad
regal jacinth
i have been on it for 5 months :'3
golden condor
Does Eris have that method?
golden condor
Nah it's fine Tony we got what you meant :)
ancient falcon
y'all know an alternative to asyncio.Lock in pyhton?
sick cloud
yes
golden condor
Great
sick cloud
<client>.disconnect(false) on Eris would 100% kill it and then destroy the process
golden condor
Alr
sick cloud
the issue usually is pm2 or other process mans
they usually reboot or restart processes that die
i know that if you tell the process to exit with a code 0 or something (which is a non error exit) it won't
or something
golden condor
I think it restarts if an error is thrown
Which caused my bot to rate limited over night once
Like I couldn't connect to the gateway for a whole day
golden condor
Pretty ez
Or you could just delete the file and remake it with {} for no reason at all
Well actually not no reason
It could stop corruption ig
karmic compass
can anyone tell me which one i should use considering that i am looking for easiest to use/cheapest to use:
mysql vs mongodb
earnest phoenix
does node allow you to access kernel apis
karmic compass
suggest*
sick cloud
dunno if it does
earnest phoenix
cause if so you can make that so much more faster by writing 0 bytes at kernel level
sick cloud
also @karmic compass both are free lol
karmic compass
damn i can't find the download for mysql
earnest phoenix
damn look harder
karmic compass
lmfao
golden condor
There are many different ones
karmic compass
which is easier to use?
golden condor
Mongo
karmic compass
alr
earnest phoenix
if you're going for sql i would avoid anything and everything made by oracle
golden condor
Oh god oracle
ocean violet
Why not oracle
earnest phoenix
their team is a bunch of amateurs underqualified for their job, they're money hungry and want your data
golden condor
I was stupid enough to sign up because I used to think oracle was the only place to install java
summer torrent
which one should I install (grafana) enterprise or oss
earnest phoenix
I've heard lots of good stuff about Grafana, never anything about OSS though
¯_(ツ)_/¯
isnt that just a distribution type
lol
OSS stands for open source
eternal flame
im having a problem, my bots status wont load, let me get the screenshots
sudden geyser
where is the second s in open source
earnest phoenix
open source software
sudden geyser
ah
eternal flame
the 2nd is wher eit calls it in the index file
the first is the actual stat file itself
earnest phoenix
require doesn't fdo anything on it's own
golden condor
Is it a function
eternal flame
wdym
golden condor
And bot isn't defined in that file
eternal flame
it is
golden condor
Where
earnest phoenix
who are you copypasting from
eternal flame
wait are you taliing to me
golden condor
Everything about this code is wrong
eternal flame
talking
golden condor
Who else am I talking to? Cry, who's code this isn't.
eternal flame
god ill figure it out by myself, sheesh
earnest phoenix
both of us are referring to you
earnest phoenix
we are happy to help but you need to have an understanding of the basics, we can tell you what to do but we cannot understand it for you
eternal flame
the status screenshot were the only 2 lines in the file, besides the bot and client thing
if they werent i would have shown the whole thing
golden condor
You are nesting event listeners. You are requiring files without functions. You are leaving vars undefined.
You are not even defining bot in your status file
And it's not getting triggered anyway
You should make it a function
eternal flame
golden condor
And call that function in the ready event
But you aren't providing much
@golden condor
That wasn't in your screenshot
eternal flame
you expect me to be dumb enough to not define bot?
golden condor
Why can't you just do the status stuff in the main file
golden condor
It's 1 line
I didn't say that
You just didn't provide in the ss where you defined it
eternal flame
You are not even defining bot in your status file
@golden condor
golden condor
So I am going by what I can see.
earnest phoenix
golden condor
Did I call you dumb?
eternal flame
no
golden condor
Precisely
eternal flame
like i said can we please stop
golden condor
Can you
Copy that line
That you set the status with
And replace
require("./statusstuffs")
With it
Because you are making your code longer and more complicated unnecessarily
earnest phoenix
what you were doing is microservice architecture which is perfectly valid and encouraged in the industry, but you did it incorrectly
vestal drift
I was told I could get help here
earnest phoenix
Time to help peep
solemn latch
Client id? Or token
vestal drift
Client id
solemn latch
What language/lib
vestal drift
English
solemn latch
English isn't a programming language
solemn latch
Can we get the whole error?
vestal drift
Unable to fetch application. Make sure you've provided the correct Client ID and that the application has a bot account.
solemn latch
Oh, your submitting a bot?
vestal drift
Yes
earnest phoenix
lol
vestal drift
I want there and they said to come here
solemn latch
Lol, ok
faint prism
Link?
solemn latch
Well, im not sure how to solve that issue, typically mods help with that stuff
vestal drift
Ok thanks for you help anyway
earnest phoenix
because you said you were making a bot, not submitting one. you misinformed someone and got misinformation in return 🤷
vestal drift
Oh
solemn latch
You need to make a bot before submitting typically
programming it, have stuff working
vestal drift
Well how do I do that then
solemn latch
earnest phoenix
solemn latch
Or #502193464054644737 bottom message
vestal drift
I am pretty sure I made the bot already
earnest phoenix
see the image for a TLDR
faint prism
Pretty sure?
vestal drift
Most likely not
sonic lodge
why aren't you sure
faint prism
I'm still a month into development.
vestal drift
Well I made the bot account
faint prism
That's the first step to getting the token
vestal drift
Dunno how to add the commands and stuff
eternal flame
what you were doing is microservice architecture which is perfectly valid and encouraged in the industry, but you did it incorrectly
@earnest phoenix then what is the correct way
earnest phoenix
microservice architecture is something that cant really be easily explained over discord lol
do research on it
eternal flame
well fuck
earnest phoenix
it's a style you learn in CS but considering most people asking for help here aren't even old enough to have the ability to take CS i doubt you covered that
vestal drift
Tbh i have zero clue how to make a bot so I'm at a loss
faint prism
Lol truth
sonic lodge
faint prism
Learn a language first. Bots are intermediate level
eternal flame
yeah
if you dont wanna learn a language i suggest paying 15 bucks for discord bot maker on steam
it does it for ya
how dare you auger
vestal drift
I kinda just picked a random one
eternal flame
study up on it
i made the grave mistake of going in an now its hard to figure out languages because you think its easy because youve done it before
faint prism
I'm upvoting your post
eternal flame
its not
crisp geyser
I have 1900+ guilds, is it normal that sometimes I have 1 shard and sometimes 2?
silent berry
If I post my bot code. Could someone be able to identify what npm packages I don't need.
solemn latch
Its 2500
vestal drift
Ye thanks for the help but my brain has still gained no brain cells
eternal flame
o
faint prism
I find that if you learn one language, it makes it easier to learn about in the same paradigm
crisp geyser
I'm using sharding, that's not the issue
earnest phoenix
gold many bot "developers" did that in here unfortunately, stuck with a certain coding style claiming they know how to code but if you give them a logical problem they wouldn't know how to solve it :/
crisp geyser
I'm just saying that sometimes when I restart my bot 1 shard is launched and sometimes they are 2 @eternal flame
faint prism
Or python
vestal drift
By language do you mean English or the lib
faint prism
Programming language
earnest phoenix
a programming language
faint prism
Lol
crisp geyser
Just wanted to know if that's a normal thing
eternal flame
if you think it is easy i will back hand you into the next generation
solemn latch
The lib is something else
faint prism
A high-level programming language
solemn latch
That you also have to learn
vestal drift
I'm an idiot compared to yall
sonic lodge
libraries are written in programming languages
eternal flame
dat, do you have any form of programming experience?
faint prism
A lib is a set of functions and code someone else made so you can do something without reinventing the wheel
vestal drift
I'm just trying make a simple funny bot
eternal flame
bot ghost go brrr
earnest phoenix
you should delve into the world of CS first, trust me you're going to get a much better grasp at everything if you cover CS basics (binary, logic gates, memory etc)
eternal flame
if you want to make a custom bot then learn javascript
vestal drift
Im losing brain cells
earnest phoenix
advising not to use youtube tutorials
eternal flame
if you just want a bot that you made (in a way) then use https://botghost.com
faint prism
advising not to use youtube tutorials
@earnest phoenix what about IAmTimCorey?? I learned SOLID from him
vestal drift
Trust me me having no clue what any of this means is making my brain hurt
karmic compass
does anyone know how to get the mongo shell? i'm looking at the tutorial but can't find the archive
eternal flame
@faint prism i watched a dude named coding train
hes very good
and he helped me on an api
earnest phoenix
never heard of @faint prism
faint prism
He's a bit quick for me
eternal flame
hes actually entertaining
faint prism
never heard of @faint prism
@earnest phoenix check out his SOLID playlist. It's incredible
vestal drift
Yes
earnest phoenix
but i do guess youtube tutorials have two categories, copy & paste or actually educational ones
karmic compass
aaa
silent berry
If I post my bot code. Could someone be able to identify what npm packages I don't need.
vestal drift
This is what it says when I try to submit my bot
faint prism
What ever libs you aren't referencing
vestal drift
Unable to fetch application. Make sure you've provided the correct Client ID and that the application has a bot account.
karmic compass
where is the archive in mongo
earnest phoenix
this sums up youtube Ho W 2 MaK BOT tuTORIYALs https://youtu.be/MAlSjtxy5ak
vestal drift
But I've done both
eternal flame
anyways i still need some help, im making it to where every 10 minutes my bot changes status to how many server to how man users total, i have the server and user count down just not that status part
karmic compass
how do i get access to running in the mongo shell? i can't find anything that actually helps
faint prism
10/10 software dev tutorials for dotnet right there
earnest phoenix
yeah see those are actually educational tutorials
solemn latch
Don't submit till you've made a bot
earnest phoenix
and then you have "uhm so code in description just copy & paste then code do run 🤤 "
vestal drift
My bot won't go in the Api so I cant do anything
solemn latch
You're trying to submit before you have made anything
vestal drift
Where do I make it
solemn latch
In a code editor
earnest phoenix
top.gg is to submit already established bots that are ready to be used across mass servers, if you don't have that foundation set do not submit it
vestal drift
I made the profile
solemn latch
That doesn't really mean anything
vestal drift
But where do I add commands
earnest phoenix
i sent you this image once before but you just chose to ignore it
solemn latch
In a code editor
vestal drift
I didnt ignore i just don't understand it I'm dumb
silent berry
@vestal drift you have to make the file on your computer
earnest phoenix
then it's probably a sign you shouldn't be making a bot
vestal drift
Dont have one
earnest phoenix
use a bot maker that does the code part for you or pay someone to do it
silent berry
Time to ask my questionagain
vestal drift
Well i have one but it runs like a ps1
faint prism
There ps1 was awesome
silent berry
If I post my bot code. Could someone be able to identify what npm packages I don't need.
Discord.js v12
I need to know
earnest phoenix
couldn't you just do that yourself
vestal drift
So laggy and glitchy
earnest phoenix
You mean, you want to know what packages u need to rove from package.json? @silent berry
Remove*
solemn latch
If you have a test bot, you can just remove them one by one
silent berry
@earnest phoenix I need to know what to remove from the const
solemn latch
If it breaks after removing, you need it
If you give us your code, its what we would probably do
vestal drift
Oh i lost my bot profile
solemn latch
F
faint prism
F
silent berry
Well time to have my server flagged by the host for high mem and CPU use
solemn latch
What kinda host flags you for high cpu usage for a few minutes
silent berry
@solemn latch one that has a server jump to 60% on startup
earnest phoenix
you don't get pity points here
solemn latch
Oof
earnest phoenix
Hmm
@silent berry i agree with Woo
You should do this in test bot first to prevent any errors in main bot
solemn latch
Id move hosts asap
vestal drift
I just wanna make a bot that says things depending on what you say
silent berry
@solemn latch my host is a good host
faint prism
Or self-host until you stop accidentally writing malware
silent berry
@faint prism I don't write malware
faint prism
It's a joke
earnest phoenix
that sir, was sarcasm
silent berry
I'm sorry
vestal drift
I'm just gonna sit in the corner in shame
solemn latch
earnest phoenix
we told you already what your options are
we will not write the bot for you unless you pay someone to do it
vestal drift
So what you are saying is you will write me a code if I pay some random guy an tenner or something
Ye not doin it
earnest phoenix
solemn latch
Developers cost money
sonic lodge
then you can create a bot yourself
vestal drift
Course but thats something I don't have
earnest phoenix
welcome to capitalism. want something? give money in exchange
oak cliff
-needdev @vestal drift
gilded plankBOT
@vestal drift
earnest phoenix
No one going to waste their previous time for making a bot by which they getting nothing.
It takes many days to create a bot
vestal drift
@sonic lodge Idiots can't make bots
solemn latch
Oh thats not true
solemn latch
Lots of the verified devs are dumb
vestal drift
I'm not trying to buy a developer
earnest phoenix
what's the point in your messages, we told you what you can do and we surely can't take action for you
oak cliff
So what you are saying is you will write me a code if I pay some random guy an tenner or something
sounds like trying to buy a dev
vestal drift
That's what he said
oak cliff
yeah, nobody is going to do it here for free, so if you want a dev, you have to pay for it, and you cant look for devs here
vestal drift
Or she idk
oak cliff
im informing you
solemn latch
Theres not much we can do for you here
vestal drift
I know but you did the most you could which I appreciate
faint prism
:)
Just learn how to write some simple projects in a programming language like JavaScript, or python. Maybe write your own calculator app or something to get familiar with data types and functions
thin otter
Were do i find the bots ?
faint prism
Then try revising a discord bot tutorial and you might be more familiar with the concepts
earnest phoenix
not here

vestal drift
The only coding I've done is on that scratch app lol
faint prism
Well that does something ig
vestal drift
Which I wouldn't really count as coding
cloud hollow
that ain't coding that's drag and drop
earnest phoenix
sometimes i forget that not all people are in STEM
cloud hollow
🙈
solemn latch
Scratch won't teach you syntax. But it can teach some basic logic.
Which is more than some people here, belive it or not.
vestal drift
So true
vestal drift
I would consider torture that weird cat
cloud hollow
i
winter basalt
i
vestal drift
What scratch is weird
winter basalt
it's actually pretty nice for learning
vestal drift
Ye i know
thick gull
I get frustrated with ads and classes that say “learn to code” and then it’s fucking drag and drop without any language it’s just drag and drop like move up
cloud hollow
what would happen if I added a botghost bot
honestly I'd prob get ipbanned from using the site
thick gull
and it’s not targeted towards kids
winter basalt
botghost are allowed
vestal drift
But i mainly just torture scratch
winter basalt
if you modify it
earnest phoenix
@vestal drift Yeah sure buddy, let me work for you.. For free
