development

[pale vessel]

wait what

[opal plank]

could do but that'd be very janky

[proven lantern]

you could segment the apps

[opal plank]

i already requested priviledged limits to twitch, just waiting for a response

hopefully they accept and i dont have to deal with this shit

verified bots have 2000/10s limits

while i get 20/10s

[digital ibex]

wait what

verified bots get different ratelimits??????

[proven lantern]

different api

[digital ibex]

oh

[proven lantern]

make a unique bot per user of your bot

[opal plank]

that sounds like a memory issue

[digital ibex]

discord bot dev community continues to become more and more toxic

[proven lantern]

they can each run on separate machines

[opal plank]

sounds like a vm clusterfuck

[proven lantern]

or 10 per machine

50 per machine

you can scale

[opal plank]

also 20 tokens per app iirc

[thick gull]

verified bots get different ratelimits??????
@digital ibex i mean thats a smart idea to do

cause like

[opal plank]

theres a limit to how many tokens you can generate

[thick gull]

you dont want unverified bots being able to nuke shit

[opal plank]

the 21th will cancel the 1st

[thick gull]

but you want verified bots to do mass actions that are actually user-requested across hundreds servers

[digital ibex]

i understand why

[opal plank]

hundreads?

im dealing with thousands...

[thick gull]

yea it was jsut an example

[opal plank]

scaling on twitch is one pain in the ass tbh

no sharing

no ratelimit checking

poorly documented shit

[digital ibex]

i just misinterpreted the thing, the uhh badge and verifying the bot

[proven lantern]

sharing is caring

[opal plank]

snippets provided in docs are outdated

[sudden geyser]

There's no header for rate limits really?

[opal plank]

some of the api old endpoints still work

there are shit that i receieve on the message payload which are deprecated

but still works

[sudden geyser]

I've seen some bad APIs, like Hypixel's one

[digital ibex]

so in my head, i was thinking u cant verify ur bot anymore

[opal plank]

its one hell of a mess

likst, actually dont fuck with twitch

[digital ibex]

but i realised

[opal plank]

recommendation

dont do twitch api

[modest smelt]

pls help

[opal plank]

you in for one hell of a nightmare

[proven lantern]

Unknown Emoji

[thick gull]

i want to do something that isnt saturated as fuck like discord bots are

[opal plank]

@sudden geyser theres only for the helix api

IRC doesnt return headers for limits

[proven lantern]

add a try catch block @modest smelt

[modest smelt]

ok

[digital ibex]

do something outside of js

borboss

[thick gull]

like?

[sudden geyser]

hmm

[thick gull]

im learning java cause thats the only CS course they have @ my school

[digital ibex]

a game or something

[thick gull]

and think it would be beneficial to learn something like that

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[sudden geyser]

Web server? Command line tool?

[arctic lichen]

Hi

[sudden geyser]

hi

[modest smelt]

how do i make a try except block such that if it doesn't work, i will get to know the error?

[sudden geyser]

Use try: ... except: ...: https://www.w3schools.com/python/python_try_except.asp

[proven lantern]

await reaction_message.add_reaction(numbers[i]) put it around here

[sudden geyser]

If you're into reading bibles: https://realpython.com/python-exceptions/

[opal plank]

yeah im sure its the library now

100%

i finished the query and then right after the library threw an error

imma start a ticket on their github asking if they have an internal ratelimiter

[pale vessel]

lmao hypixel api just gives EVERYTHING

in like one call

[sudden geyser]

Yeah it's a horrible API

When they added SkyBlock support

They'd give you just the ID of whatnot, so you'd need to make a request for each of them

and most of their endpoints and what they return are undocumented

I still remember trying to convert a PHP class to a JS one just to get a player's level when I didn't realize someone make a wiki on how to calculate the player's level.

A single /player API request can be 2 MB+ in size for someone who plays a lot. It stacks up.

[thick gull]

dude they have apis for games that have been closed for years

endpoints*

[earnest phoenix]

hypixel devs are a bunch of rookies

[untold plover]

Oo

[earnest phoenix]

which is why everything is a mess

the api is so messy because they just pull every single entry from their database

up until recently they used json files to store game & world data

then they migrated to mongo

[thick gull]

[earnest phoenix]

and they're still misusing it... and storing worlds in mongo

like actual worlds

[thick gull]

god

they're also hiring an anticheat dev

:kek;

[earnest phoenix]

it's just a bunch of 15-18 year olds thinking they're senior level programmers

when they're just in fact stealing code snippets

tbf no one with a degree would work at hypixel for such a low pay

hypixel's api is a mess

their namings are a mess too

[sudden geyser]

eugune

[earnest phoenix]

@earnest phoenix how do u know its a low pay

simon posted job listings

it's just a mess

kind of minecraft itself

built on trash legacy code no one ever bothered to fix

so what you end up with is a huge dumpster fire

aka why minecraft is so slow and ram intensive and why hypixel has lag spikes every nanosecond

[sudden geyser]

This image sums it up well

[thick gull]

yeah im sure its the library now
@opal plank https://kooleyy.is-inside.me/qEgu9v5Q.png

[opal plank]

which lib is that?

there are multiple twithc libs

[thick gull]

twitchjs

[opal plank]

tmi

twitch-js

twitchjs

[thick gull]

the one you put a thing on

[opal plank]

the what

oh

i see

[thick gull]

https://kooleyy.is-inside.me/xfLX3J50.png this

[opal plank]

yeah that one

i absolutely hate that their lib swallows to many errors

did you bother reading that issue?

'Just try/catch everything'

feels bad that you cannot see all my private repo commits

@thick gull

[thick gull]

did you bother reading that issue?
@opal plank no

read that at least

[quartz kindle]

oh i remember that lmao

[opal plank]

its kinda bs tbh

[pure lion]

i forgot how to use the express router send help

[earnest phoenix]

https://express.js.org

[pure lion]

*pings tim*

@earnest phoenix the docs are biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig

i cba

[opal plank]

i think i have officially bothered everyone i could about this tbh

twitch staff, twitch forum mods, librabry devs, proficient devs

did i miss anyone?

[quartz kindle]

app.plsRoute("magix", result => {
  result.send("nice website with animation and responsive pls kthx")
})

[pure lion]

no i mean

the router boye

in a separate file

[quartz kindle]

i dont even use express

lmao

[pure lion]

cries

[opal plank]

lol

im going to get more into front end soon

though i'd probably be moving away from express into Koa

@quartz kindle have you tried Koa?

[quartz kindle]

@opal plank nope

[opal plank]

frick

aight

[misty sigil]

and they're still misusing it... and storing worlds in mongo
@earnest phoenix WORLDS

WORLDS

IN MONGO

[opal plank]

bet postgres can do that

with transactions

[misty sigil]

why are world in mongo

no

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/265156286406983680/747899138812936343/c86.gif

[opal plank]

lmao

[faint prism]

@quartz kindle have you tried Koa?
@opal plank at A KOA rn

[opal plank]

koa seems fun

[ionic dawn]

world in mongo make sense

thats why is full of corruption

[opal plank]

ACID compliant db's

Im afraid my request might be denied

upon reading the guide i found out that i should've specified the ratelimit i wish to be granted

though i didnt specify, simply put 'this isnt enough, pliz increase'

@umbral zealot do you know if koa has some similar things from express such as slow-down and ratelimit?

https://www.npmjs.com/package/express-slow-down

[umbral zealot]

well, I mean, probably not built in

[opal plank]

things like those are a pain to code manually

[umbral zealot]

it's something that's either available as a separate package, or you can write the middleware yourself

[opal plank]

thats the issue

they are quite complicated to do

while i COULD, i rather not

web isnt my forte per se

[umbral zealot]

I mean...

[opal plank]

they are different

https://www.npmjs.com/package/express-rate-limit

this would be the ratelimit

[earnest phoenix]

There are a lot of options for you in terms of rate limiting

[opal plank]

the one im speaking of is slow down, it increased the response of each request

its exponential ratelimiting iirc

[umbral zealot]

I mean, you could just add a setTimeout in there lol

[opal plank]

not quite as good tbh

this middleware is really powerful

[pure lion]

[eternal osprey]

hey can somebody help me

[honest perch]

with?

[eternal osprey]

how do i make these return values to an embed

ar loss = Number(ls.get(userLS)) - (bet);
            ls.set(userLS, loss);
            endGame(user);
            return `\`Croupier stands with\` ${newTotal}\`; Croupier wins, **\`${user.username}\` loses**.\``;
        }
        else if (newTotal == userTotal[0]) {
            
            endGame(user);
            return `\`Croupier stands with\` ${newTotal}\`; **It's a tie**.\``;
        }
        else {
            
            var gain = Number(ls.get(userLS)) + (bet);
            ls.set(userLS, gain);
            endGame(user);
            return `\`Croupier stands with\` ${newTotal}; **${user.username} \`wins**!\``;```

[faint prism]

make an embed with the string results in it

[eternal osprey]

could you give me an example?

[umbral zealot]

"return" means you have a function, and this function will return that string. Just assign that return to a variable, or use the function directly in the embed builder.

Learn more about how functions work here: https://js.evie.dev/functions

[faint prism]

function doThing() {
 return 5+5
}

new MessagEmbed()
.addField('result', doThing())``

idk the actual usage of d.js
but that's how you return

[eternal osprey]

hmm okay

i will try my best

just one moer question

unction userHit(user, message, prefix) {
    var cardsObj = ls.getObj(user.id + "blackjackGame");
    var card = new Card(randCard());
    var total = arrCardCalc(cardsObj.userTotal);
    var newTotal = total[0] + aceCheck(card.toInteger, total[0]);
    var userLS = user.id + "profile";
    var bet = Number(cardsObj.bet);
    message.channel.send(`${user.username} drew ${card.val + " " + card.suite}`);
    if (newTotal > 21) {
        
        const embed1 = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
        .setColor('#ff0000')
        .setTitle('Blackjack Casino Game')
        .setDescription('*Shows all the game results!*')
        .addField(name= `${user.username}\` busted; Croupier wins,`, value= `**\`${user.username} \`loses**.\``)
        .setFooter('Command hosted for Kings Family!')
       
        var loss = Number(ls.get(userLS)) - (bet);
        ls.set(userLS, loss);
        endGame(user);
        return (embed1)```

wouldn't this just work?

[pure lion]

https://tryitands.ee

[eternal osprey]

i just wanted to know

as i want to change my whole code

that is really long

i also cannot test this specific message

otherwise i would have to win the blackjack with 21

which is unlikely to happen

[silver lintel]

I'm a noob, should I use mongoose, MongoDB, MongoDB cloud or whatever?

[opal plank]

or be a postgres supremacist

im making the "userinfo" command to display badges, is .concat a good method to make the badge stuff?

or is better to do array to string?

[tight flame]

It´s is possible to make a portal that people log in with some credentials and then a bot gives him a verificate role on his discord??

[earnest phoenix]

use oauth

[eternal osprey]

const Discord = require ('discord.js');

what?

the variables?

like user.username

they are?

[opal plank]

var

[eternal osprey]

wut

all jokes aside

[hollow bobcat]

i mean what is name= for?
shouldn't it be
.addField("Field name","Field Value") or .addField(name="Field name",value="Field value")
?

[tight flame]

use oauth
@earnest phoenix but that is to log in into my website with discord, right?

[eternal osprey]

i think that this is also good

        { name: 'Regular field title', value: 'Some value here' },
        { name: '\u200B', value: '\u200B' },
        { name: 'Inline field title', value: 'Some value here', inline: true },
        { name: 'Inline field title', value: 'Some value here', inline: true },
    )```from the docs

[misty sigil]

@earnest phoenix but that is to log in into my website with discord, right?
@tight flame that is also for credentials and can be used for verification

shit i have an idea

i have a good idea

this is the best idea

[tight flame]

so i can do that, if they log in into my website it gives permisions on the discord?

but login without discord credentials

[misty sigil]

Not like that

with OAuth, yes

without, No.

[tight flame]

so my website must have oauth?

[misty sigil]

Yes.

[tight flame]

can have dm with you @misty sigil ?

[misty sigil]

no

[tight flame]

oh okay

[eternal osprey]

lmao

rejected

10/10

[drifting wedge]

first try with custom backgrounds

looks ok ig?

[tight flame]

Anyone know how to use the OAuth of external API to change permisions to a user in discord

[eternal osprey]

hey boys

https://hastebin.com/otuvanoqob.http

message is not defined

probably in the var user = message.author

but how do i fix it.

[modest smelt]

what does ur bot do

@earnest phoenix u can invite my bot (if u want to...)

[earnest phoenix]

Lemme see

[modest smelt]

DM me

[low shard]

No Invites here

[modest smelt]

?

[misty sigil]

i wouldnt advise it they use a json database

[modest smelt]

im working on invites

[low shard]

@modern sable

[misty sigil]

your database will end up corrupted

and large

and useless

[modest smelt]

we're converting to mongo

[modern sable]

@modest smelt dont ask others to invite your bot

[low shard]

Yep

[modest smelt]

ok sry

im just advising them

if they want, they can

[shy turret]

i asked this question before but i didnt get too much support:

[low shard]

Read.

[shy turret]

how do i use keyv with sharding

i decided that I will completely start over my discord bot

[low shard]

@shy turret NiceLogo

Your logo it’s fake discord

Super copy discord

👀

[shy turret]

how do i use keyv with sharding
i decided that I will completely start over my discord bot

[split hazel]

how many servers is your bot in

[shy turret]

"one" (for my test bot) im starting over because i know im gonna need sharding soon

and yes i know when im actually gonna need to start sharding

im gonna need to make sharding when my bot is 2.5k servers

so im just preparing for it

my actual bot is around 200 servers but still...

[low shard]

Dam

25k

You can dream

[sudden geyser]

did you mean 2.5k

[shy turret]

yah

2.5k

i forgot the dot

i was just about to edit the msg lol

[low shard]

Oh

2.5

Btw you can dream

It’s so high to get it

Hard *

[shy turret]

ikr

but quality better than quantity

[low shard]

He

He

Tfff

Ye

[shy turret]

how do i use keyv with sharding

discordjs btw

[split hazel]

how do i use keyv with sharding
You asking that question makes me worried

there isn't much code you have to change

[shy turret]

i never done sharding before

[split hazel]

each process will simply open a connection to the database

[shy turret]

wait so..

i could just

let Keyv = require("keyv");
let db = new Keyv('sqlite://database.sqlite');

basically ^ to my bot.js

(yes i do have a index.js alr)

[stark abyss]

does anyone know how to get and make changes to multiple user stuff in json file

{
    "298588307368050698": {
        "weeklyDonation": "69"
    }
}```

something like that

[split hazel]

if you're sharding via running index on every shard then yes

[stark abyss]

if i have lots of user how can i change the weekly donation at once

[split hazel]

but I wouldn't recommend spending the effort sharding now, you should do it once you're certain your bot will grow above 2.5k

[shy turret]

if you're sharding via running index on every shard then yes
@split hazel so if i added the shard manager on index.js and i made bot.js be the bot file, i can add:

let Keyv = require("keyv");
let db = new Keyv('sqlite://database.sqlite');

on bot.js?

[low shard]

Bro someone donate 69 just pay to some developer to do what you want

[stark abyss]

wait what

[split hazel]

that should work yes

[stark abyss]

it's a weekly donation for a game

[shy turret]

what if im making a website dashboard

too

and that needs access to the db

[split hazel]

the database doesn't stop you from opening multiple connections

[shy turret]

something i learnt today hm ok

[stark abyss]

so no one can help me?

[low shard]

Speedy

[split hazel]

they're designed to handle multiple connections

[low shard]

It’s you speedymquin

?

[stark abyss]

wait what

[low shard]

[split hazel]

do you mind not shitposting

[shy turret]

@stark abyss I highly recommend not using json dbs but

let file = require("./NAME.json");
file.USERID["weeklyDonation"] = "THING";

[stark abyss]

I am just json file because the max number of user is gonna be no more then around 25

this is different then what you think

[shy turret]

keyv is a lot easier than json dbs

[stark abyss]

oh

I think you misunderstood me

I know how to get one's thing

i wanna get all of the userid and then change their weeklydonations

like reseting it to 0

[sonic lodge]

use Object.keys() on the object to get the array of user ids

loop through the array and set each individual user's value to 0

[stark abyss]

you may have to teach me how to use Object.keys()

Object.keys(userid)?

wait what is it doing?

[sonic lodge]

it returns an array with all of the object's properties

[stark abyss]

okay

[sonic lodge]

for example

Object.keys({a: 1, b: 2, c: 3}); // ['a', 'b', 'c']```

[stark abyss]

ah so I can for loop it

[shy turret]

now how is it possible to get a guild by id wait i just found out

nvm i dont know how to do it with the manager variabl

[split hazel]

assuming you're still doing the sharding thing you need to use broadcast eval

since your guilds are no longer all in the same process, they're split in multiple ones

[shy turret]

so instead of <client>.shard.broadcastEval('')

i would use <manager>.broadcastEval('')

[stark abyss]

 fs.writeFile ('./donations.json', JSON.stringify (donation, null, 4), err => {
        if(err) return console.log(err + " error found")
        message.channel.send("Message Written! ")
      })
``` I am doing that and it puts it in 
```css
{
    "298588307368050698": {
        "weeklyDonation": "69"
    }
}```
But I don't want the number 69 to be a string because I want to add to it

i don't understand how json works thx in advance

[opal plank]

screeches in database noises

[stark abyss]

do i just get rid of stringify

[vernal rivet]

I wouldn’t use json for heavy weight database stuff. Json has a hard time handling heavy weight data, data that changes constantly. I would recommend you think about using either mongodb, MySQL, SQLite, or quick.db instead.

[opal plank]

spits

why did you not recommend postgres or cassandra?

i feel offended

[vernal rivet]

I mean you can use those as well

[pale vessel]

npm i jsoning 😎

[vernal rivet]

And it was because I never actually used them

[opal plank]

postgres >

[pale vessel]

discord used cassandra

not anymore

[stark abyss]

calm down i am using it for max 25 players

only my server

[vernal rivet]

Quick.db is the easiest to use

[stark abyss]

but also not the best

[opal plank]

correct

postgres best

[vernal rivet]

it gets the job done

[opal plank]

definetly going to recommend using postgres for a 25 max row table

its like using a an industrial level cutting saw to break a thin stick in half

[stark abyss]

so anyone gonna help me

help

[pale vessel]

what's donation?

[stark abyss]

a json file

empty

[pale vessel]

it's a string because that's how it was in the first place. is it from your args?

[stark abyss]

oh

yeah it was

[pale vessel]

you can parse the string as numbers, Number(string) and store that

[stark abyss]

wait wat

[pale vessel]

just need to make sure that it's an actual number since it could be NaN

[stark abyss]

ok

you can parse the string as numbers, Number(string) and store that
didn't understand this part

[pale vessel]

args[0]; // "hello"
Number(args[0]); // NaN

args[0]; // "22"
Number(args[0]); // 22```

it tries to convert strings to numbers and return NaN if it fails

[earnest phoenix]

How do I get emoji information?
ex: /info

for example message.guild.emojis.cache.get(args [0]) searches by emoji id.

[sudden geyser]

You need to parse the raw argument to get the ID.

[pale vessel]

discord.js has emoji.identifier so you don't need to type it manually

never mind, it doesn't have the <>

well anyway you can use emoji.toString()

args[0] == emoji.toString()

[wise wigeon]

Hey guys, is there a problem with discord.js for loading users cache ? It's taking so long with my bot.. It loaded ~10k users in 24hours.. Because of this, my bot is getting a very high ping xD Like 1k ms, even more.. 😅

[stark abyss]

ty

i don't know if you should be doing that, wouldn't that be api abuse? (take no word from me i have no clue how it works)

[wise wigeon]

No don't worry it's okay :p I've never had this problem before.. Very weird

[stark abyss]

idk all i can offer is some good luck

why are you cacheing all of them though wouldn't it be better just to cache when u need

[pale vessel]

if you have enough resources, caching seems nicer

less bandwidth

[wise wigeon]

nope it's not a problem like that and the problem was not here days ago :/

[silver lintel]

MongoError: a collection 'mydb.customers' already exists

[sonic lodge]

the collection already exists

[silver lintel]

how do i delete it

[stark abyss]

why don't you go to the collection on the website and delete it manually?

[silver lintel]

how?

do i view it with mongodb

[stark abyss]

didn't you go the website to create a cluster?

[silver lintel]

yes

[sonic lodge]

<collection>.drop()

[stark abyss]

or that..

[sonic lodge]

came from the first google search result

[stark abyss]

@silver lintel for future reference though if you go the mongodb website then cluster and if u hit the collections you can view and delete data

unless yours is different idk

[silver lintel]

:O

yes i can

thank you

[silver lintel]

yes

[stark abyss]

yeah if you hit the collections you can view all the stuff and edit

[silver lintel]

mhm

MongoError: Cannot use a session that has ended

even tho it hasnt ended

[slate socket]

Who can i help me with my code pls ?

[stuck basin]

.p

[silver lintel]

what lib

[faint prism]

Who can i help me with my code pls ?
@slate socket maybe. you're not really giving any information

[slate socket]

No lol its just for the statut but its ok i found

Lol

[near drift]

Someone can help me with this?

[amber thistle]

whats the best api to fetch song lyrics?

[sudden geyser]

Dylan it means the file or directory could not be found at that path.

can you verify to see if it does

[near drift]

Dylan it means the file or directory could not be found at that path.
@sudden geyser I have to create a file called index.html ?

[sudden geyser]

at that path, yes

[near drift]

Ok

Done

Now?

Now what i have to do? it says the same error

[main chasm]

what is index html ?

[near drift]

Lite said me to create it but idk what is it for

[opal plank]

do my eyes decieve me or is that an actual person using glitch for websites rather than hosting discord bots?

[near drift]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[opal plank]

kudos

[main chasm]

yeah bots or website?9

[opal plank]

glitch is MEANT for sites

[silver lintel]

welp i use it ;-;

[near drift]

:v

[main chasm]

[earnest phoenix]

Anywho

Anyone know how to make this more optimize

Since utd spagetti rn

[umbral zealot]

Well, to start with, nobody wants to debug tiny-ass screenshots taken from a phone.

when half the code isn't visible, too.

[earnest phoenix]

@umbral zealot i didnt to debug lol

I only ask if theres a way to opitmize it or not

[umbral zealot]

Well, whatever it is you wanna do with that code we can't help with that screenshot 😛

[earnest phoenix]

Heres the source code then

[umbral zealot]

why not just link the github....

[earnest phoenix]

Its private

And i cant change bisibility

And the owner is offline

[umbral zealot]

don't think a lot of people here will want to download a zip to look at your code. you're making it real hard to help you right now

[earnest phoenix]

Fine lemme just make a fork and give the link

https://github.com/AprixStudios/AprixMC

[umbral zealot]

that's still private (I don't think you can make forks of private repos public) ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[earnest phoenix]

Fuck

Nvm then

Thanks for the help ig

[umbral zealot]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[summer torrent]

what does it do

[faint prism]

advert?

[umbral zealot]

yeah this really isn't the place to advertise your bot

[earnest phoenix]

No it's just so I have someone to test it for development but damn ok

I just need some feedback

but ig not

[umbral zealot]

Well then you should have lead with that 😉

[faint prism]

That's what friends are for. Or testing on your own servers

[earnest phoenix]

@faint prism I have 1 friend and 7 testers that don't test

Soooooooo

I am the only coder and I have 1 artist

[slender thistle]

Not allowed

[earnest phoenix]

?

[slender thistle]

That falls under advertising

[earnest phoenix]

damn ok

[solemn leaf]

@earnest phoenix

test it yourself

🧠 = huge

[opal plank]

or advertise in the proper place

[solemn leaf]

let me test

and give me eval commands

[opal plank]

usually when you are the one developing your bot you'd patch what you know is wrong

its not like you purposefully leave shit half baked lol

'oh, yeah, this command crashes my bot, but thats intended'

[slender thistle]

-helptest

[gilded plank]

We aren't a server full of guinea pigs, and are not obligated help you with features that can easily be tested with alts or friends. If you don't have either - at least you can make alts without problems.

[opal plank]

whole point of other people testing is people see shit you overlooked

[earnest phoenix]

I'd just want someone to test if it looks good and runs well from others standpoints. And asking myself is kinda bad

[solemn leaf]

@opal plank I have a random command like after 6 days it stops my bot and I don't know hwo to fix so I just setup a macro to restart it

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[earnest phoenix]

But idc

anymore

[opal plank]

@solemn leaf thats really stupid though

[solemn leaf]

the error

is some long ass message

that Im not gonna ever read to fix

so

[opal plank]

lazy dev

gotcha

[solemn leaf]

no I mean

like the whole error

doesnt fit on my screen

[opal plank]

-std-output-all

so it doesnt truncade

[solemn leaf]

ok

[opal plank]

or use a global error handler to output message somewhere

process.on('error', (err:Error) => channel.send(JSON.stringify(err)))

[solemn leaf]

lmao

I dont know which command

its to long

to even see it

[opal plank]

lazy dev

[solemn leaf]

I got an idea

[opal plank]

i gave you how to do it

and you still refuse

[solemn leaf]

Ill use canned air

and use it on my scroll wheel

how you know im not gonna use?

[opal plank]

lazy and stubborn i see

[solemn leaf]

but I cant use it

bcs I dont use ts

[opal plank]

you arent suppose to copy paste you dork

thats precisely why i put shit in ts

so i hear complaints of people copy pasting

LEARN from it

[solemn leaf]

LOL

ok

[sonic lodge]

dude you're a genius

[solemn leaf]

its over 10k text

laugh

[opal plank]

then write a txt file and send the file to the channel

[solemn leaf]

you can do that?>

[faint prism]

that's why I write in C# snippets lol

[opal plank]

message.payload.attachments

yeas

@faint prism Non copy paste team! High-five

[solemn leaf]

erwin

[opal plank]

thats me

[solemn leaf]

send it in rs

[opal plank]

send what in?

[solemn leaf]

rust

no one uses rust pretty much

[faint prism]

I'll do COBOL

[solemn leaf]

nah

send it in html

[opal plank]

i'll do one better

haskell

[faint prism]

html
not a programming language

could do Haskell though lol

[opal plank]

CSS best programing lang

[solemn leaf]

C++

[opal plank]

no, css

[solemn leaf]

c

[faint prism]

could do c++ one too

[opal plank]

css*

[solemn leaf]

no just c

[opal plank]

c++ is actually good

you arent getting the point

[faint prism]

or c

[solemn leaf]

send it in glua

[opal plank]

aaaaanyway

write a txt file locally and then attach it to message payload

it has a key for attachments

just attach it there

[solemn leaf]

ok

[opal plank]

fsWrite then target the local

if you really fancy it, delete afterwards

[faint prism]

wtf why

[opal plank]

if he plans on using it once, might aswell

but it'll simply overwrite

if you are smart enough to keep the same name

[faint prism]

if he's using it once why not just keep it in memory

[opal plank]

not sure if you can use buffer

[solemn leaf]

if im using it once

why not just local server it

[opal plank]

attachments need a file iirc

not sure if you can buffer it in

[faint prism]

you should be able to

I send mine via memory stream

[solemn leaf]

Hold up

[faint prism]

and send in a byte array

[opal plank]

new Buffer.from(error)
attachments: buffer
?

[solemn leaf]

imma store it on my video storage

[opal plank]

been a while since i dicked with buffers

i think i only used it twice for my bot to stream directly to twitch and display the presence on my client

[faint prism]

faster than making an I/O call to your secondary storage because it's "ez"

[opal plank]

i really shot myself in the foot rn

[solemn leaf]

when your headphones come out of your jack and plays on the surround speakers

what

you shot yourself in the foot

[opal plank]

yes

[solemn leaf]

dead ass shot yourself

[opal plank]

i completely forgot i had mized my juice with vodka and chugged almsot half a liter of it without realizing(cuz theres no alchool taste)

[solemn leaf]

so wait

how do I add it into an attachment

[opal plank]

message payload

[solemn leaf]

so

process.on('error', (err) => message.payload.attachments(new Buffer.from(JSON.stringify(err))))

[opal plank]

you have no idea what you're doing, do you?

you cant attach anything on message cuz message doesnt exist

[solemn leaf]

no of course not

[opal plank]

and as you may know

.on means its a listener

just clike your message event

client.on('message')

thats an event

[solemn leaf]

so

bot.on

ok

[opal plank]

process.on is also an event

you dare nest events i'll legit slap you

[solemn leaf]

why is myleft speaker being bass

ok

[opal plank]

so

[solemn leaf]

i would nest

[opal plank]

you dont

thats the whole point of it

[solemn leaf]

bot.on(process.on))

[opal plank]

i literally said not to nest events you dork

[solemn leaf]

ok

[solemn leaf]

it joke

[opal plank]

outside of bot.on

[solemn leaf]

ok

[opal plank]

not nested on anything

[solemn leaf]

ok

[opal plank]

thats an event listener

therefore bad habits to nest them inside eachother

'message' doesnt exist

now what?

[solemn leaf]

var idk = new Buffer.from(JSON.stringify(err))
process.on('error', (err) => message.payload.attachments(idk))

[opal plank]

message exists only on bot.on('message', message => {})

[solemn leaf]

?

[opal plank]

err doesnt exist either

[solemn leaf]

I got this

[opal plank]

you're just copying my stuff at this point

you clearly dont

try to understand what im saying

2 different listeners

[solemn leaf]

ok

[opal plank]

what is THIS doing?

process.on('error', (err) => message.payload.attachments(idk))

[solemn leaf]

that was joke

[opal plank]

be serious

]

[solemn leaf]

oh

[opal plank]

im wasting my time trying to teach you basics of js which you should already know before making a bot

at least be considerate

[solemn leaf]

bot.on('error, (err) => { var idk = new Buffer.from(JSON.stringify(err)) })
process.on('error', (err) => message.payload.attachments(idk))

soemthing like that?

[opal plank]

no

again

dont nest events

[solemn leaf]

that is nested?

[opal plank]

i just told you .on() is an event listener

you got 2 inside eachother

[slender thistle]

Is that really nested

[solemn leaf]

I thought I closed it

[opal plank]

oh

bad indent

yikes

[faint prism]

it is closed

[opal plank]

formet it

[solemn leaf]

lol

sorry

[faint prism]

yeah

[opal plank]

my bad, im the one who missed that

[faint prism]

vodkuh

[opal plank]

shhhh

[faint prism]

[solemn leaf]

ok

[opal plank]

you dont need bot.on

you want a global error emitter

aka your process

[slender thistle]

You're drunk, Erwin. Go home

[opal plank]

it'll catch any unhandled errors

[solemn leaf]

so

[opal plank]

Shiv you home. Go drunk.

[solemn leaf]

wait

[opal plank]

[solemn leaf]

can I just do

[opal plank]

again

here

process.on('error', (err) => message.payload.attachments(idk))

message doesnt exist

how you going to send a message to a channel if message doesnt exist?

[vernal rivet]

is error an event?

[opal plank]

indeed

[vernal rivet]

alrighty then

[solemn leaf]

process.on('error', (err) => { 
    var idk = new Buffer.from(JSON.stringify(err)) 
    message.payload.attachments(idk)
})

[opal plank]

its not technically error

its uncaught/unhandled rejections

but for simplicity sake im saying error here

again

message doesnt exist

[solemn leaf]

message does

[opal plank]

comes to the 4rth time

its not nested

[vernal rivet]

whats wrong?

[opal plank]

therefore message doesnt exist

[solemn leaf]

module.exports.run = async (bot, message, args) => {

[opal plank]

process.on('error', (err) => { 
    var idk = new Buffer.from(JSON.stringify(err)) 
    message.payload.attachments(idk)
})
client.on('message', message => {})```

you seem to be missing scopes

[solemn leaf]

I was running off of my eval

[opal plank]

message doesnt exist in process

[solemn leaf]

ah

ok

[vernal rivet]

ok, what is the queston you are trying to answer erwin?

[opal plank]

so, 5th time

how do you send a message to a channel without message?

[solemn leaf]

you dont

[opal plank]

wrong

think again

[vernal rivet]

[solemn leaf]

attachment

[opal plank]

wrong

[vernal rivet]

without message, idk if that is possible

[solemn leaf]

@vernal rivet pst billy pass me the answers

[opal plank]

what can process fetch thats outside of its scope?

dont

....?

[solemn leaf]

im thinkng

[vernal rivet]

i mean i am not the one answering that question i am just here to help the person that is answering it

[opal plank]

aight

[solemn leaf]

message.channel.send.payload.atttachemenets?

/

[opal plank]

message doesnt exist

6th time

[solemn leaf]

oh

cant I call it with the thing

[opal plank]

hats above cant access below, and vice versa

[vernal rivet]

oh ok i see what your talking about now, this is in process.on() method got you

[opal plank]

thats called scope blocks

[solemn leaf]

ok

[opal plank]

err only exists on process.on because you declared it

[vernal rivet]

aki do you understand what scopes are?

[opal plank]

message only exists where you decalred it, insice client.on message

[solemn leaf]

soemthing about somehting seeing varibles?

[opal plank]

getting warmer

there is a variable in your code you can access

[vernal rivet]

that is a better place to start erwin

[opal plank]

which one is it?

lemme give you a hint, where are your channels cached?

[solemn leaf]

in the guild

[opal plank]

not wrong but technically wrong

[solemn leaf]

erm

[opal plank]

what is a common variable for both listeners that i showed?

[solemn leaf]

.on

?

[opal plank]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/272764566411149314/757098458233700382/unknown.png

warmer but not quite

[solemn leaf]

client.on("message", async message => {

?

[opal plank]

okay now you just throwing random stuff

answer is

client

[faint prism]

message won't exist in the process.on event handler

[opal plank]

client.channels.cache

[vernal rivet]

^^^

[solemn leaf]

oka

[vernal rivet]

therefore
