@lusty quest like this ?
const mongoose =require("mongoose");
const {Guild} =require('../models/guild');
module.exports = async (bot, guild) => {
const newGuild ={
guildID: guild.id,
guildName: guild.name
};
const merged =Object.assign({_id: mongoose.Types.ObjectId()},newGuild)
const createGuild = await new Guild(merged);
createGuild.save()
.then(result => console.log(result))
.catch(err => console.error(err));
console.log('I have joined a new server!');
};
slender thistle
SQLite is a database, so
lusty quest
@dreamy cedar looks good
dreamy cedar
@lusty quest
still the same problem
i dont get any server information in the database
faint prism
frick then
@drifting wedge You want a remote db. Not local
faint prism
MongoDB has a free db with Atlas
faint prism
I can link a video for using MongoDB in C#. But the general principles may still apply
drifting wedge
i mean i have a ton of my stuff in json
solemn latch
iirc, the docs for mongo are really good
faint prism
iirc, the docs for mongo are really good
@solemn latch Not for their compass client lol
solemn latch
compass is self explanatory isnt it?
lusty quest
@dreamy cedar did you get any error?
faint prism
I was unable to specify data types that were supposed to be available in it
dreamy cedar
no
faint prism
Docs has nothing about that issue
lusty quest
did you have a connection to your db?
dreamy cedar
yes
solemn latch
ah, i havent really used mongo for anything
lusty quest
other querys work?
solemn latch
only have compass because someone needed help
lusty quest
@faint prism some Mongodb clients doesnt allow all data types. as example mongoose doesnt allow bigint
dreamy cedar
i have just guildCreate
drifting wedge
@faint prism some Mongodb clients doesnt allow all data types. as example mongoose doesnt allow bigint
@lusty quest what do you use?
sorry
i mean woo
not you
wrong ping
lusty quest
currently Atlas (was running my own Cluster before but switched bcs its cheaper)
solemn latch
i use MySQL and Prometheus
lusty quest
why a Time series DB?
lusty quest
so you log your Guildcount etc?
solemn latch
yeah, just bot stats
dreamy cedar
@lusty quest so any solution ?
lusty quest
hmm wanted to add influxdb to my bot but the docs are not that good and the querys are wired (atleast for me)
there is somewhere something that goes wrong
solemn latch
considering doing a poll command with graphing over time, was going to use a different tsdb for that.
lusty quest
add _id: mongoose.Types.ObjectId() to your object and remove the merged line
maybe this helps
dreamy cedar
ok ill try
lusty quest
does it work?
dreamy cedar
nope
drifting wedge
im watching this vid
how would i apply mongo to it?
just like instead of users.json
use the db?
faint prism
yeah
keep the object data in the db
works really well if your users.json is a collection or array of <user>
then if <user> has an Id, you can use that for the objectId i the mongodb
drifting wedge
huh?!
earnest phoenix
whats the variable for the voice channel name ???
quartz kindle
its called Astrobot
misty sigil
@oak sentinel this one
drifting wedge
can anyone send me an example mongo comamnd?
just so i can see how it works?
mine is giving me tons of errors
misty sigil
What code do you got so far
solemn latch
if its a remote ip, dont send it
misty sigil
no
solemn latch
if its just like localhost it doesnt matter
misty sigil
do not send
drifting wedge
i dont think it does
but i wont
just to be safe

but its not wokring
solemn latch
mongodb has a free course
drifting wedge
im getting like INDENTATION ERROR
drifting wedge
well it loaded
earnest phoenix
dict values should be setted using :, like this: {'key': 'value'} not {'key' = 'value}
solemn latch
drifting wedge
is there a easier db?
solemn latch
most databases are pretty simple
you just kinda have to accept that youll need to spent an hour learning it
solemn latch
where are you learning from?
drifting wedge
youtube google
dreamy cedar
@solemn latch can you tell me whats the problem here

what's the problem
sonic lodge
d.js?
dreamy cedar
?
sonic lodge
discord.js?
dreamy cedar
yes
sonic lodge
when your bot joins a guild, you need to be watching the guildCreate event
dreamy cedar
how i do that
opaque eagle
I've enabled top-level await in my TypeScript application (as you can see, broker.connect() and broker.subscribe() seem to work fine), but the for-await-of loop seems to error out. How can I fix that, or is the feature working as intended?
sonic lodge
somewhere in your main file
client.on('guildCreate', function(guild) {
// insert code that adds the guild to your database
});```ty
ill try
golden condor
@opaque eagle it's not an async function
golden condor
Ok I guess I won't help if your gonna be a dick about it
golden condor
ok
earnest phoenix
follow the rules please
opaque eagle
typescript was compiling just fine, but webstorm (my editor) doesn't support it yet
golden condor
Webstorm finds everything to be wrong
golden condor
Told me my code was wrong because I used it elsewhere lol
opaque eagle
that's super vague but cool

@drifting wedge don't use pymongo. use motor instead
pymongo is blocking lib
near ether
is there a way to dynamically check how long my bot should wait to avoid hitting the ratelimit?
quartz kindle
if you're using a discord library, the library does that for you already
quartz kindle
if you're working directly with discord, check the x-ratelimit headers
feral aspen
?
near ether
im using d.js but my bot still ends up getting rate limited but only once in a blue moon when i announce an event or something to my server
oh and tim i implemented what you told me about reaction menus
wait i think i told u already
lmfao
idr
wintry mountain
or just barely functioning
@slender thistle barely
so i suggest not using mongo db at all and use psql instead
quartz kindle
@near ether is it an actual rate limit or only the rateLimit event?
drifting wedge
@drifting wedge don't use pymongo. use motor instead
@wintry mountain well i got motor
slender thistle
I've used pymongo in my private bots and I wouldn't say it's blocking much
near ether
an actual rate limit - my bot is temp banned for an hour
drifting wedge
like wtf do i do?
quartz kindle
do you use the sharding manager?
near ether
yes
slender thistle
like wtf do i do?
@drifting wedge Try the code snippet you sent
quartz kindle
do you have any code that does api requests across shards?
near ether
theres only one which loads emojis across all shards after every one has launched, but that one is pretty lightweight and has never gotten me rate limited before
drifting wedge
async def test1(ctx):
mango_url = ""
cluster = MongoClient(mango_url)
db = cluster["db1"]
collection = db["prefixes"]
ping_cm = {'command': 1}
collection.insert_one(ping_cm)
await ctx.channel.send('worked')``` didnt workIgnoring exception in command None:
discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandNotFound: Command "test" is not found
drifting wedge
raise CommandInvokeError(exc) from exc
discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: OperationFailure: bad auth Authentication failed., full error: {'ok': 0, 'errmsg': 'bad auth Authentication failed.', 'code': 8000, 'codeName': 'AtlasError'}
at least its talking to mongp
quartz kindle
although that event only fires when discord.js prevents a rate limit, not when actual rate limits happen, but it can still help to see which commands/requests are hitting the api too much
near ether
will it give me a stack trace to the command? or do you mean the REST/HTTP get/post stuff
quartz kindle
the rest stuff, including a path
queen moss
from a performance standpoint, is it worth it to allow normal users to have a gif profile card? For example, I have the ring around their profile changing from grayish to greenish like money in a loop - just wanted another opinion on it, since it does use a good amount of cpu power
near ether
when you say path do you mean the route like /channels/27829378293/etc
quartz kindle
yes
near ether
how do i know which command of mine is hitting the d.js limit?
most of them do the same stuff
quartz kindle
@queen moss should be fine if the image is cached
golden condor
It's not the djs limit
quartz kindle
but if every time you need to generate a new image, because some data changes, like a xp bar or something, then maybe its too much
golden condor
It's the discord rate limit
queen moss
yeah it generates a coin count bar, so maybe it is a bit too much
strange trout
I'd just make the card very customizable to make up for not supporting GIF pfp
drifting wedge
discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: OperationFailure: bad auth Authentication failed., full error: {'ok': 0, 'errmsg': 'bad auth Authentication failed.', 'code': 8000, 'codeName': 'AtlasError'}``` wut does dis mean?authentication failed apparently
queen moss
true, I think ill make it for people at a certain level and donors if I ever do that
slender thistle
Most likely not
quartz kindle
@near ether you need to find it yourself. you get for example the channel where a limit was hit, check that channel and see which commands were used in that channel
drifting wedge
or is it the mango connect stuff?
slender thistle
Make sure you are passing correct credentials to connect to the database
mongo connecting
quartz kindle
you can log commands and channels for example to find it easily
near ether
ahh gotcha, makes sense
drifting wedge
wait
near ether
ty!
drifting wedge
do i replace the password with my password?
slender thistle
whatever Atlas gave you as a password
drifting wedge
LMAO
slender thistle
if it's not customizable
drifting wedge
i am retard
raise CommandInvokeError(exc) from exc
discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: OperationFailure: bad auth Authentication failed., full error: {'ok': 0, 'errmsg': 'bad auth Authentication failed.', 'code': 8000, 'codeName': 'AtlasError'}
near ether
one last question, if d.js has its own ways to help stop my bot from getting rate limited (ie temp banned for an hour), how come it fails sometimes and my bot ends up getting rate limited anyways?
quartz kindle
it cannot track rate limits across shards
they are not aware of each other's rate limits
solemn latch
you mention it only really happens when you announce new features.
what about opening those features up slowly to people?
near ether
my bot has nearly 0 discord api usage across shards which is why im a little confused as to why this is the case
you mention it only really happens when you announce new features.
what about opening those features up slowly to people?
thats a damn good idea!
quartz kindle
also make sure you're not swallowing errors too much, for example dont do .catch(() => {}) and log something instead
misty sigil
wdym by swallow errors tim
quartz kindle
catching errors and not logging them
so maybe there are errors happening and you dont know
opal plank
i throw em into the cold void
quartz kindle
its always a good idea to implement your own rate limiting or cooldowns
for example maximum amount of commands per channel per 5 seconds
misty sigil
i only rate limit my canvas commands
solemn latch
i ratelimit my ratelimits
near ether
i do have a per-person cooldown, also most my my reaction menu-heavy commands are limited to once every 20+ minutes
but yea a per-channel cooldown is a good idea
misty sigil
my canvas command are per server 
quartz kindle
if you have a reaction menu that can be reacted by anyone, limit the amount of reactions it can accept per 5 seconds as well
near ether
misty sigil
oh lmao
near ether
damn honestly i didnt even think of that
there is no limit to how often you can react
quartz kindle
imagine you have 20 people reacting at once

You see the section "TITEL"? Is here anyone a pro with fs? I dont want to load the name with fs, which is under the section:"NAME"
Anyone an idea how to get the information from TITEL and save it into an array?
quartz kindle
that informetion is stored inside the file
quartz kindle
there is no easy way to do it with fs, you'd need to know the structure of the file to be able to extract it from there
but there are many npm libs that can do that for you
for example https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-id3

earnest phoenix
Tim I need your opinion, and possibly some help, what do youthink is better for caching prefixes, redis or an lru cache?
quartz kindle
@midnight blaze if for some reason the voice channel is not cached or doesnt exist
@earnest phoenix i'd cache them in memory
if you have guilds cached, you can even attach it to the guild object
earnest phoenix
Just plain out no lru?
quartz kindle
yeah
earnest phoenix
hm, alrighty.
I need something that works well due to the fact that it will be getting accessed a LOT
slender thistle
What does "lru" happen to be?
quartz kindle
in-memory is the best way
earnest phoenix
least recently used
slender thistle
oh
quartz kindle
you can make a quick lru thing yourself, but its not really needed
unless you're an optimization freak
prefixes are literally a couple bytes of ram lol

Hello I am having a problem with custom emojis in messages. They are spitting out like this and not showing the actual emoji. :outage: Only the bot owner can use these commands Im using discord.py
misty sigil
Is the bot in the same server as the emoji?
What are you using for the emoji? (what is your emoji string thing)
pure lion
Why is my ts compiler giving me !async and not async
lone coyote
now i tried it a different way as it is the way that would work much better, but it gives me typerror can only concatenate str not list to str with this code: if message.content.startswith('*'): if message.content.startswith('*tip ' + message.mentions): await message.channel.send('BLAH')
im dumb sorry
fierce arch
Is the bot in the same server as the emoji?
What are you using for the emoji? (what is your emoji string thing)
@misty sigil Yes bot is in same server this is the string !outage
misty sigil
Ok
So, your custom emoji is isn't in the correct format
Do you mind sending the emoji here so I can make it the correct format?
fierce arch
Im trying to send it formatted correctly but discord says no
misty sigil
Can you send the emoji here?
fierce arch
With no ID?
fierce arch
So <:outage:> or :outage:
glossy elk
misty sigil
<:outage:ID>

@glossy elk how many servers ur bot in ?
u should add shard when ur bot in 1000+ servers

@misty sigil Thats what I have been trying

not the point
lone coyote
message.mentions is giving me a type error that it can concatenate only str and not a list

you can speak russian? nice. I can hardly read it, but can speak it much better, but anyway, back to my bot
slender thistle
i want my bot to check for * in an if statement, then if it starts with *, then check for *tip + a mention
@lone coyote Then something like this
if message.content.startswith('*'):
if message.content.startswith('*tip ') and message.mentions:
await message.channel.send('BLAH')
this would check if message started with *tip and included at least one mention
lone coyote
i would do that, but i want it to be explicitly *tip followed by at least one mention not *tip blah blah blah mention if possible
slender thistle
if message.content.startswith('*tip '):
if len(message.mentions) > 0:
await message.channel.send('BLAH')
there's also this option
silent pagoda
I think you need to create a role reaction if you want the bot to assign more than one role @slate ravine
solemn latch
thats not true
silent pagoda
Why
slender thistle
I don't think it can get any more explicit than that
solemn latch
!giveroles Role1 Role2
gives two roles
slender thistle
unless you go fuck-all and create a custom function if_message_starts_with_arg_and_has_mentions
solemn latch
or any number of roles
lone coyote
well maybe i should?
lone coyote
haha ill try
slender thistle
Could just slap a comment between both of those ifs also
lone coyote
what do you mean by that?
slender thistle
# message starts with prefix
if message.content.startswith('*tip '):
# message contains a mention
if len(message.mentions) > 0:
# everything passed, time to get working
await message.channel.send('BLAH')
i thought it would somehow change what the code would do so i was confused. Sorry about that
makes sense
slender thistle
lone coyote
thank you
slender thistle
lone coyote
how would i gok about creating a custom function? (I am seriously staring to think I have bitten off more than I can chew)
i think i know what you mean
but im not certain
slender thistle
Well
lone coyote
im sorry that I keep asking more and more questions, but I am truly grateful that you keep responding
slender thistle
def check_mentions_and_message(message: discord.Message):
# some of your other stuff here possibly
# etc etc
if message.content.startswith('*tip '):
if len(message.mentions) > 0:
return await message.channel.send('BLAH')
return None
@client.event
async def on_message(message: discord.Message):
result = check_mentions_and_message(message)
if result is None:
# message not sent
else:
# message was sent
Something like this basically
You can play around with it
Hmm, you could also probably return a tuple with a custom response
slender thistle
Well, there's the option of going the regex way...
or calculating character positions manually
Do you want only one mention to be allowed?
Oh, do you think you could utilize d.py's commands extension?
lone coyote
if message[5] = @?
idk
one mention is ok
but more would be better i guess, buti am becoming a hassle i feel like
lone coyote
what do you mean by that?
im a big noob, and this is my biggest project
or at least it will be bu the end
slender thistle
*tip @mention catch this you poor noob
slender thistle
Where catch this you poor nob is the "reason" or some sort of a "message" to the mentioned person
lone coyote
because it is a crypto tipping bot
slender thistle
Oh oops, forgot about a number
lone coyote
haha no worries
slender thistle
Give me a second to try something
lone coyote
sure sure
quartz kindle
*tip 999 @user9 thank you or *tip @user9 999 thank you?
lone coyote
number 2 if possible if thats what you are asking
slender thistle
Actually, do you think you would like to accept usernames and IDs as user input for the member?
slender thistle
use string indexes to get the mention
lone coyote
like string[5] must be @?
earnest phoenix
How do I delete a file using eval?
lone coyote
oh ok
earnest phoenix
Ping me
slender thistle
I'm thinking of suggesting you discord.py's commands extension
@commands.command()
async def tip(ctx, member: discord.Member, amount: int, reason: str):
await ctx.send("BLAH")```i'll try that
quartz kindle
so for example you get an array of words like ["*tip","<@user>","999","message","words","here"]
lone coyote
yes
quartz kindle
then you can check if array[1] matches a valid id by using regex and extracting the numbers from it
slender thistle
We're kind of going two ways here and I don't want to confuse you anymore. I shall take my leave for now ๐
quartz kindle
lol sorry
lone coyote
thank you for being so helpful
drifting wedge
mongodb works with heroku?

nah Tim it's fine, I'm only suggesting the half-assed way because d.py's cmds extension simplifies most of the stuff

not if you host it on the Heroku machine

client.on('voiceStateUpdate', (oldState, newState) => {

How can i get here the channel id for newState ?newState should have a channel property, shouldn't it?
drifting wedge
or just help out testing bots?
slender thistle
Both
earnest phoenix
how do i get it
drifting wedge
sowwy
pure lion
@earnest phoenix get your bot to 76 servers + submit passport/ID
earnest phoenix
hm ?
slender thistle
quartz kindle
oldState and newState are VoiceState objects
VoiceState objects contain a channel property
earnest phoenix
How do I delete a file using eval?
quartz kindle
so VoiceState.channel
slender thistle
There's a separate channelID property also
quartz kindle
aka newState.channel
pure lion
How do I delete a file using eval?
Like a file on your machine?
quartz kindle
fs.unlink
pure lion
Y tho
lone coyote
it doesnt work because at least in my version of discord py, it uses client.event() and it says it's missing some argument
earnest phoenix
@pure lion its for my ticket system
quartz kindle
you can delete files using fs.unlink
earnest phoenix
ok
slender thistle
Is there any particular reason it's named that and not something like remove like os.remove in Python?
quartz kindle
because thats how the linux function is called
slender thistle
Oh
earnest phoenix
@quartz kindle so require(fs).unlink("./helpall.js")?
quartz kindle
windows also uses unlink actually
quartz kindle
@earnest phoenix
earnest phoenix
Ok
quartz kindle
your way works if you use unlinkSync
lone coyote
when i tried commands.command() it didnt work as my discord py vers uses client.event(), but changing commands.command to client.event made it say that it was missing an argument
slender thistle
Oh yeah
earnest phoenix
require("fs").unlinkSync("./helpall.js")
slender thistle
You'll have to do the following

Since await client.process_commands(message) is responsible for actually making commands.Bot work with the commands

ok do i need to pip install discord.ext?
lone coyote
oh ok

Why is it when i run my bot on VSC the enmap settings save but once i deploy on heroku the settings disapear and reset to default

TypeError: event() missing 1 required positional argument: 'coro'

Send your full code please
lone coyote
hold on i may have fixed it
testing
didnt work so here is my code:
from discord.ext import commands
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix="*")
@client.event
async def on_ready():
print('We have logged in as {0.user}'.format(client))
@client.event
async def on_message(message):
if message.author == client.user:
return
if message.content.startswith('*'):
if message.content.startswith('*tip ') and message.mentions:
await client.process_commands('test')
@client.event()
async def tip(ctx, member: discord.Member, amount: float, reason: str):
await ctx.send("BLAH")
client.run('MY TOKEN')```idk how to keep the syntactical highlighting
solemn latch
```py
```
slender thistle
just the part where you create a function tip
lone coyote
ok thanks
can i get an explanation why if you are in the mood?
still didnt work
this error now: File "C:\Users\Sam\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\lib\site-packages\discord\client.py", line 312, in _run_event await coro(*args, **kwargs) File "c:/Users/Sam/Soycoin Bot.py", line 17, in on_message await client.process_commands('test') File "C:\Users\Sam\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\lib\site-packages\discord\ext\commands\bot.py", line 936, in process_commands if message.author.bot: AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'author'
lone coyote
of course
slender thistle
basically what d.py does with the decorator is add it to some sort of dictionary that is used internally
What await client.process_commands(message) does is it gets the message content, creates a Context object for it, and then parses everything according to your command's function parameters (In tip, you have the parameters member, amount, reason which d.py will try to place correctly as well as convert if there's type annotations)
You are supposed to pass a message object to process_commands, not a string
lone coyote
exactly
i misunderstood the reason for it
it didnt error me, but didnt say BLAH
what input parameters should i try?
slender thistle
*tip 571120962138013708 0.1 test
slender thistle
oh wait
Change your on_message to
@client.event
async def on_message(message):
if message.author == client.user:
return
await client.process_commands(message)
fuck
slender thistle
ey nice

I suggest reading a bit on d.py commands extension on their official docs for more info

how 2 sort mongoose documents by -1 and then get the first docc?
(ik all the things except from sort and finding from that sort)
cosmic robin
I'm making a custom embed bot and I've made the embed, but I'm wondering how I turn the command into variables to use
solemn latch
ive never used an embed bot.
what do you want the argument structure to look like?
glossy elk
message.channel.overwritePermissions(message.guild.id, {
SEND_MESSAGES: false
})```Uncaught Promise Error: TypeError [INVALID_TYPE]: Supplied overwrites is not an Array or Collection of Permission Overwrites.
cosmic robin
so i want the command to read -embed '...' '...' '...' '...' and change whats in the ' to variables
digital ibex
error is self explanatory
second parameter isnt an object
use split, phil
how 2 sort mongoose documents by -1 and then get the first docc?

like sort by value?
pure lion
yeah
solemn latch
.sort()

sort() of?
digital ibex
hes talkign about mongo queries
solemn latch
like
find().sort(whatever your sorting by)

its not an array

How can i check in discord js if 2 guild members aare in the same voice channel ?

i can run a file python with js?
misty sigil

earnest phoenix
no
digital ibex
u talking about compiling python or smthing?
earnest phoenix
i mean, like:
//in js:
!runfile file.py
you can use child_process.exec
digital ibex
with or without runtime?
quartz kindle
exec lets you run a command in your terminal, the same way you would run any other terminal command
earnest phoenix
oh, ok
pure lion
await Bot.find().sort({ timestamp: 1 })[0].inviteLink
```dis gud?yes probably

i dont think it returns an array but idk, try it
iโd use the gte key thingy cuz its just simpler imo

How do i check if 2 guild members are on voice connected in the same channel ??
amber fractal
compare their voice channel id
pure lion
do u just want it to return โtestโ, dice?
its going to be a dynamic url ting that queries if the param is there
i could substring 3
fuck it ill do that
digital ibex
u dont need to
if its id=t u want it to return t? if its id=gg u want it to return gg?
if so
pure lion
yeah
digital ibex
its just req.params.id
digital ibex
show ur code
pure lion
console.log(req.params)```show the full endpoint

isnt that all thats necessary
digital ibex
no

how i can put a "watching" activity in py?
@earnest phoenixbot.change_presencemethod where you pass adiscord.Activityfor theactivitykwarg
the discord.Activity instance must be instantiated with name and type=discord.ActivityType.watching kwargs
Shortly speaking, you would get something as big as bot.change_presence(activity=discord.Activity(name="you", type=discord.ActivityType.watching))

I want to make my prefix command available only to me and those who have the "Manage Server" permission. I tried using || and &&
honest perch
The code snippet for the permission?
torn ravine
specifically
if (message.author.id !== "my id" || message.member.hasPermission(`Manage Server`)
pale vessel
use && and the permission value is MANAGE_GUILD
honest perch
But isn't && and
pale vessel
shouldn't there be ! before the member permission check?
solemn latch
doing things from memory
pale vessel
that code is for return, right?
torn ravine
that would mean if (message.author.id = false)
pale vessel
don't think so
torn ravine
I'll try it
earnest phoenix
why
logModel.findOneAndUpdate({ id: message.guild.id }, { $set: { log: 'canalID' } }, { new: true }).log
dont work?
pale vessel
if the author ISN'T you AND the person has no permission, return
if one of those condition is true, it won't return
torn ravine
use && or ||
pale vessel
&&, AND

@torn ravine you wanna use || for what your saying. Youd wanna check if the author is your id OR if the member has Manage Server.

well they're using !== id right

but what I didn't realize was that I was using the commands on the incorrect bot

well which one of the 2? @solemn latch

digital ocean all the way

digital ocean is a bit more expensive but more well known

center it then

what

galaxygate is a smaller company but cheaper
drifting wedge
now its squished to one side of the page
@sick cloud use this thing called mobrise
its really good
sick cloud
what

<div style="display:flex;justify-content:center;align-items:center;">

Hi, I have a question, im trying to send an image using a link that has no "format at the url", when I use the message.channel.send({file: [['URL']}) it sends a file but isnt an image, is there a way to change the file format when sending it?, hopefully my eng isnt that bad and you guys understand what im saying

idk, just learn flexboxes and you will be happy ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ

stop suggesting i use a drag and drop shit thing when all i need is some css to style an existing, fully complete prototype

@ionic dawn try doing .send({files: ['url']}); instead
ionic dawn
thats how im doing it
earnest phoenix
what's the url
sinful belfry
that's not what you put in ur original message
ionic dawn
ill check if I can render the link or somethin to get the actuall image
sinful belfry
you're just doing 'file' rather than 'files'
ionic dawn
ionic dawn
just miss that S
yeh, but the file dnst have an extension
so discord dont load any image
just sends a raw file
sinful belfry
do you know what the extension will be?

it needs to be a valid extension matching the file header
otherwise the rendering will fail

Give me a stupid command idea
lone coyote
for whatever reason, my code always says Unknown Recipient with a valid recipient, and also gives me the same error i have in except for an invalid one. code is: @client.command() async def tip(ctx, member: discord.Member, amount: float, reason: str): try: await ctx.send(str(message.author) + " tipped " + str(member) + " " + str(amount) + " for " + reason) except discord.ext.commands.errors.BadArgument: await ctx.send("Unknown Recipient")
placid iron
Can you even use ctx with client, don't you have to use Bot
Also I would advise looking up f strings
lone coyote
it worked before i tried to break it
i know about f strings, but i am not advanced enough to understand them too well. Ehh i guess i'll go do that
lone coyote
no?
placid iron
Where does message come from then
fading hedge
https://discordhosting.com/ can yโall tell me if this is a trustworthy bot hosting service?
lone coyote
here's the full code:

async def on_ready():
print('We have logged in as {0.user}'.format(client))

async def tip(ctx, member: discord.Member, amount: float, reason: str):
try:
await ctx.send(str(message.author) + " tipped " + str(member) + " " + str(amount) + " for " + reason)
except discord.ext.commands.errors.BadArgument:
await ctx.send("Unknown Recipient")
client.run('MY TOKEN')```@lone coyote yeah you have to think about message.author still
lone coyote
so how would you recommend i do it? i am a big noob after all ๐
placid iron
Where does message come from
You just use message but it's not created anywhere in that function
lone coyote
yes it is
placid iron
No

I'm talking about the tip function

honestly, buying a nice vps with a few cores and a few gigs of ram.

sure

Your answer is in there I know
