Most code can't be licensed if it's generally pulled from a site like stackoverflow where all code is public

Simple API/WS

[earnest phoenix]

What license should i get

• no private use
• give credit
  Idk what license, too hard to search ig

[unique patio]

would be hard to license or hold as your own when disputed.

[opal plank]

im searching for one rn, i need one of 'no copy unless expressively permitted'

[earnest phoenix]

• i dont even know how to search for a license

[faint prism]

The GNU GPLv3 also lets people do almost anything they want with your project, except distributing closed source versions.

That's all I want tbh

[quartz kindle]

APIs and web services dont count as distributing

[unique patio]

Enjoy

[quartz kindle]

hence you can make apis with gpl libs

[opal plank]

ty cosmos

[quartz kindle]

without sharing source

[unique patio]

NP

[opal plank]

wait what?:

[unique patio]

I default on most projects not adding such license category

[opal plank]

invalid link lul

[unique patio]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_free_and_open-source_software_licences

oh

There

I hit an extra-key

[opal plank]

ah there we go

thanks

[unique patio]

let me delete the other link 😄

So m uch more I assume but wiki got a lot of them

[earnest phoenix]

@unique patio heyo, you have so much knowledge on license

[quartz kindle]

there is also https://choosealicense.com/

[earnest phoenix]

You should DMCA yandere sim

[unique patio]

I write nice code people want to take.

😦

[earnest phoenix]

@quartz kindle HELL YEAH THANKS

[faint prism]

there is also https://choosealicense.com/
@quartz kindle that's what I was using

[opal plank]

what is copy lefted?

[quartz kindle]

copy left = opposite from copy right

[unique patio]

Makes it free

[unique patio]

vs not

🙂

Opposing affect of copyright

[earnest phoenix]

GNU General Public License v3.0
Is mine now

[faint prism]

yeet

[opal plank]

Hmmm i still need one that is copyrighted without modifications

its a private repo, it shouldnt get out of there

no distribution /modification

[earnest phoenix]

Does copying script from mee6 count as copyright stRIke

[quartz kindle]

if you want to prevent people from using your code in webservers and other non-distributed applications, you need to use AGPL

[earnest phoenix]

I see

[opal plank]

AGPL?

[quartz kindle]

the lib my api relies on has a licencing fee of about 1k usd

but they are gpl v2, so i can use it server side for free

because i dont distribute it

[unique patio]

Not leave it blank

🙂

License: "blank"

For private

You can put Copyright @ not erwin

But yeah nothing major needed if you want to lock it off

[quartz kindle]

AGPL prevents also non-distributed things from being done without a licence agreement

[unique patio]

you permit the rights then

[opal plank]

the only concearn is leaks

[unique patio]

Leaks can happen

[opal plank]

anything on the private repo needs to stay there

[unique patio]

You would just find the source and request it be taken down

[earnest phoenix]

@quartz kindle what api

[unique patio]

You can whois registrars for site hosts/etc

and show your initial release.

[candid onyx]

Oof

[unique patio]

EZPZ

But applying these licenses at times allow or permit use and that's what we don't want persay

ruling is at your discretion.

Thus your own copyright/license

[silver lintel]

how to get user by id djs? message.client.users.fetch(args[0]) isnt working

[quartz kindle]

@earnest phoenix astrologico api

[opal plank]

hmmm i see

[earnest phoenix]

What does it do

[unique patio]

Isn't it users.has("id")

?

[silver lintel]

ohh ok

[unique patio]

I haven't touched that part of the discord API fully but they have a "has" function to check fast.

Also too cache is used.

[quartz kindle]

@earnest phoenix astronomy/astrology

[unique patio]

So it'd be users.cache?

[opal plank]

users is fetch

users.cache is map

[quartz kindle]

planetary positions and coordinates at any given point in time

[earnest phoenix]

I am interested

[opal plank]

idk why u fetching it though, unless you disabled caching

[earnest phoenix]

Give pink

Link

[unique patio]

You can reference the ID from received message or on a call to client you initiated.

[quartz kindle]

https://astrologico.org/software/api

[unique patio]

Both require a diff approach

[opal plank]

im pinging the api directly

axios with a get request

[unique patio]

They have FeatchUser I think?

[opal plank]

i think you can use client.api.fetch

lemme check

[unique patio]

Yeah I haven't used fetch for that ever

there's a cache.has

[opal plank]

client.api.users.(id).get

i THINK that might work

[unique patio]

.get at the end? nope

[opal plank]

im fairly certain yeah

its a method at the end

[unique patio]

For recieved messages, you can parse them like this.
receivedMessage.author.id === "id"

[quartz kindle]

message.client.users.fetch() is the correct way of getting a user in discord.js

no need to use the private api methods

[opal plank]

or that

[unique patio]

Yeah that should work

but it's cached

[opal plank]

fetch() should get it from api iirc

[unique patio]

few ways to do it.

Yup

If you require real-time

[opal plank]

users.cache .get() should grab it cached

[quartz kindle]

fetch does both, gets from cache if it exists and fallsback to the api if it doesnt

[opal plank]

oh, even better then

[unique patio]

Oh yeah derp

I forgot that with my XHR run throughs

If cache exists

DERP

Generally go for the more direct solid approach for processing in the values, so I am not relying on a nested feature.

I*

[west agate]

how do i check if a user sent a channel in a message? like if they sent ,announce #announcements some random text

idk if i explained properly

[unique patio]

on('message', func);

[opal plank]

sent a channel?

oh

that

@west agate type n.tag regex in #265156322012561408

i got a whole bunch of handy regexes there

[unique patio]

There's an emitter event for the discord client that will emit when a message is sent and ready.

[quartz kindle]

you can use message.mentions.channels

[opal plank]

wait really?

[unique patio]

If you're looking to ready discord history then that's done differently, and on ready event.

[opal plank]

mentions has channels?

[quartz kindle]

yes

[opal plank]

ive been regexing that shit this whole time

[quartz kindle]

mentions has all possible mentions lol

[opal plank]

i thought it only resolved on user mentions

frick

guild mentions when?

[quartz kindle]

it even has built in regexes

[unique patio]

Haha

[unique patio]

Regex is very powerful don't get that twisted.

[opal plank]

damn thats handy

welp, added to TODO list

to fix that

[unique patio]

Neat wasn't sure how adv'd the api was

Good to know, regex is the true promise land

to unhackable.

[quartz kindle]

regex is slow af tho

[opal plank]

^^

[unique patio]

Noooo!

If done right

it's fast and can't be hacked.

Safest way to pass through strings.

[quartz kindle]

"hacked" how

[unique patio]

There's a CTF yearly

where the objective is to break through regex checks

[west agate]

what do i do with the regex?

[unique patio]

and it can't be done.

[quartz kindle]

what kind of regex checks

[unique patio]

0% solve-rate atm.

Anything
Like:
a-z0-9

pass ` through some how

[quartz kindle]

why tho

[unique patio]

Security

[opal plank]

watch me try to use it properly and accidently break regex on a whole scale. My code is notorious for doing fucked up shit

ima good dev

[quartz kindle]

nobody uses regex in security tho?

[unique patio]

Good regex use is promising

[opal plank]

if('string'.match(token)) => user.login

[unique patio]

Woah it's used lots 😮

[opal plank]

ezpz

[unique patio]

Regex matching^

[opal plank]

clyde is a great example of dumb shit

post your token

[quartz kindle]

i havent seen any example of a situation where regex is actually the better solution

[opal plank]

see what happens

thats the only example i can think of regex being used in security

[unique patio]

You rarely see it yes, but it's used at the core of processing machines

[opal plank]

matching leaked tokens

[unique patio]

for sensitive data to categorize it properly.

[west agate]

say the user sends a message like this:

[unique patio]

Server-end

[west agate]

,announce #announcements something testing

[unique patio]

Discord would definitely be using regex to turn this message to whatever it needs final conversion. Finding and inserting links.

[west agate]

how would i get #announcements in the message and send the message in that channel

[opal plank]

we said that

either regex or use Tim's better solution

[unique patio]

Built in

is nice/easier

[quartz kindle]

i still fail to see how regex would be applied there but whatever lul

[unique patio]

You may not use it at all then

[opal plank]

i cant see either, that example is all i can think of tbh

[west agate]

i still fail to see how regex would be applied there but whatever lul
@quartz kindle me too

[opal plank]

sensitive info in chat or something like that

[unique patio]

Okay, so this message could be plain-text; it doesn't know www.google.com is a-href already.

It still doesn't

[opal plank]

thats my only use-case, though if you are back end you have access to said token. using any other method is also valid(startsWith for example)

[unique patio]

Why? Regex wasn't detected

http/s was missing

It's used lots just don't know it.

[quartz kindle]

regex is good for finding instances of a pattern in a string, yes, but nobody types a password in a string for example, no program needs to extract a username or a password from a large string

[unique patio]

no but for password checking

[quartz kindle]

unless you're trying to do something shady

[unique patio]

regex is used to keep you in bounds

on a client log-in page if you can't type `; you're not to be typing it error throws back

[opal plank]

i guess its good to escape multiplle chars at once?

[unique patio]

check can be easily made for specific sets.

It can do all that

[quartz kindle]

that isnt solved with regex, thats solved with sanitization and prepared statements in a database for example

using regex for sanitization is considered bad practice afaik

[unique patio]

You're to decode/encode how you would and strip slashes yes, and that's low-key regex.

🙂

[opal plank]

for example, you have a template in your code
Postgres.query('INSERT {args} INTO SOMETHING'); If you provide args as DELETE DATABASE' you might get some shady shit, i guess its better to use regex for that sort of sanitization might not be that bad

[unique patio]

It all goes hand in hand exactly

[opal plank]

thats bad design overall though, but i guess

[unique patio]

🙂

[quartz kindle]

low key maybe, but they probably have many under the hood improvements tailored specifically for these kind of situations when you're processing passwords in a database

so they usually advise against using regex yourself

[unique patio]

You want to always confirm input to an extent and you can't do it any other way

properly or as fast.

[errant perch]

how do i convert @ mentions to text in discord.js?

[opal plank]

toString()

[unique patio]

You don't want them to mention?

[quartz kindle]

@errant perch when sending or when receiving?

[unique patio]

Don't use the <> around them.

[errant perch]

sending

[unique patio]

<@ example> mentions

[opal plank]

warp it around <@ >

[unique patio]

bot lingo

[quartz kindle]

.send("some mention here", { disableMentions:"all" })

[opal plank]

im confused

dont they WANT to mention?

[unique patio]

Oh I like that extra param tim

[errant perch]

yes

[unique patio]

Lol not sure erwin

[errant perch]

i dont want the mention

[opal plank]

OOOH

[unique patio]

Oh so don't wrap it or use that option tim gave

[errant perch]

oh

[opal plank]

i misinterpreted the question

[errant perch]

{ disableMentions:"all" } worked

[unique patio]

I like the paramater approach a lot.

[opal plank]

i thought they HAD a mention and wanted to convert to text

[unique patio]

^

[opal plank]

message.mentions.first().toString()

though thats not a valid example

[quartz kindle]

thats why i asked, when sending or when receiving

[opal plank]

you get the point

smort

[unique patio]

😄

[quartz kindle]

welp, getting l8

[opal plank]

hmmm i should add a webhook to this test repo tbh

[quartz kindle]

gnight

[unique patio]

Enjoy tim

[opal plank]

gnit tim

[unique patio]

I've been meaning to get my web-hook on; running a cluster atm and can't be bothered to take it offline.

Learned recently I can actually change username and avatar of the web-hook

my bot tells it what to do?

Nice to see discord sets it up very nicely with their API

[opal plank]

im still wondering if i should cluster my twitch bot

[unique patio]

Not till it's stable

[opal plank]

only for testing purposes only(otherwise it'd be data mining)

[unique patio]

You have crash-handle and auto-reboot on connection lost

[rocky hearth]

Is anybody TS expert here?

[unique patio]

so each node can act independently.

[opal plank]

Expert? no, but i use TS a lot Curios

[unique patio]

Teamspeak?

Use to be lmfao

[opal plank]

Typescript i assume

[unique patio]

Oh right

yeah nope

[opal plank]

i do

[unique patio]

I could probably go as far as understanding it like script.

count me out

[opal plank]

lmao

[unique patio]

Honesty best policy lol

[opal plank]

agreed

i might end up branching my repo into a master-slave version tbh

so i can cluster it

maybe IPC to communicated between them

[rocky hearth]

Listen, I've two folders on root directory name, src and dist. Every time to test my commands, I've to compile src code and it produces the js files in dist folder, and then I start the bot to test it. How can I do it more quickly/efficiently??

[unique patio]

This is all you gotta do if you want fast

require("./HorizonLookup/server");
require ("./HorizonQueue/server");

[opal plank]

use ts-node/register

[unique patio]

I got like 20 in the list 😄

[opal plank]

or use npx

[rocky hearth]

how to use ts-node

[opal plank]

https://www.npmjs.com/package/ts-node?activeTab=readme

[unique patio]

Isn't that package manager stuff/terminal?

[opal plank]

you can use ts-node with node

[unique patio]

Should be a way to launch terminal tasks via batch file.

[opal plank]

node ts-node/register file

[unique patio]

Oh cool

[opal plank]

or you can use npx

[unique patio]

Can you globally use it in a command prompt?

If so you could just run executables/batch files to run the process

short-cut it.

[opal plank]

yeah

[unique patio]

This is my example

start nodemon --exitcrash server.js

nodemon reboots my app if crashes,

[opal plank]

i dislike nodemon

[unique patio]

not sure the lingo you'd need if it was cmd based.

[opal plank]

as it restarts on every change

[unique patio]

Yeah I don't use it.

[opal plank]

i prefer forever for a reboot module

[unique patio]

Oh I like that feature in early develop

It's a life-saver and keeps you logging errors

[opal plank]

forever > nodemon imo

[unique patio]

But release, hell naw if you can't get it stable GG

what's forever do?

I don't necessarily need reboot modules I build them in to the code

[opal plank]

https://www.npmjs.com/package/forever

i got 2 instances, a recover and a reboot

[unique patio]

Oh interesting, individually handles them?

through a JSON

[opal plank]

on fatal i got a script trying to restart/recover the process, if it doesnt work, it kills it, that trigger forever to restart it with a limit

it tries 5 continiously times with at minimum 1 minute uptime. if that fails, it sends me a notification

[unique patio]

That's cool, I didn't know this may exist and wrote a handler for each bot.

it's a simple copy/pasta but I can have 1/20 go down and reboot in my cmd.

[opal plank]

theres some really advanced things you can do with those tools

nodemon is bad imo since it will reboot if it detects a change

[unique patio]

Yeah I never used it for releases

All my bots run just node

npm start

[opal plank]

both @earnest phoenix and LeviathanTwitch are running on forever

[unique patio]

Ty for that heads up if I embark

[opal plank]

[unique patio]

nice

I store my data via clouds, it's a bit fancy so I can't have sudden crashes before it unloads.

or it reverts to back-up; no recent blobs.

[opal plank]

i backup non static data every 10 minutes, for static i use on the command itself to add it to memory along with the database

say prefixes for example

[unique patio]

Design them to run off like 200MB ram and 100 instances per i7

Yup

[opal plank]

!add prefix

=> prefix dumped into database
=> prefix added onto memory

// crash

startup => fetch all database prefixes
=> map them all

=> we back up and running with no loss of data

thats one example of how i run my things

[unique patio]

nice

I need fast as I render as much data as google searches at times

[opal plank]

others for example non static data(metrics, logs, errors) are all backed up every 10 minutes

[unique patio]

So how we render it is with a black-hole method.

[opal plank]

so worst case scenario its a short roll-back

you could use redis to cluster all processes tbh

as long as master keeps online(make sure it doesnt carash) all other processes will have access to it

[unique patio]

The setup I use uses no hard-drives.

or DBs

All setups are strictly CPU/RAM machines

[opal plank]

but then you cannot recover data

[unique patio]

All data is memory stored t emporary then shipped off.

It's ramdac server

[opal plank]

you could run redis as i said

[unique patio]

I can ship data 5GB/s

machine to machine so it doesn't have much let-down

[subtle osprey]

uhm, is there anyone here knows about voiceStateUpdate in discord.js@12.3.1?
i need help

[unique patio]

I get about 0.2% drop-rate on servers from odd reconnects/etc

[opal plank]

i'd do a master-slave method tbh and cluster them even more

[indigo burrow]

Hey anyone here good with discord.js / discord.py

I need help rn

[subtle osprey]

bruh

[indigo burrow]

Like rn rn

[unique patio]

Not sure of the voice channel much on js

What's up

erwin if you wanna see blazing fast, these clouds on their local can transfer a peta-byte in an hour.

They use atoms for processes and 1GB each node.

LOL

[opal plank]

Main storage/process
local redis backup Local redis backup

                   Master 1                                                                       Master 2

Slave 1 Slave 2 Slave 3 slave 4 slave 5 slave 6

[subtle osprey]

bruh

[faint prism]

master and slave

[indigo burrow]

@unique patio can I dm u for a sec? I wanna ask something related to oauth

[faint prism]

git with the times

[unique patio]

Keep it here I get too many PMs

[opal plank]

something like this cosmos

as long as master's are online, you dont lose any data

the slaves do all the processes like you are running

[unique patio]

Oh I could line something like that up

I do have AWS

[opal plank]

but you have a main process to keep a local backup

[unique patio]

handling the RAID

when it leaves cloud

That process is very slow though

My network is at 1.2GB/s right now upload

[opal plank]

instead of one Main/master with 100's pointing into one, doing it the way i showed would make it almost 0 loss on a outtage(except if the whole master cluster fail)

[unique patio]

I can't necessarily feed back a couple GB of data to AWS like that

or to any redis

[opal plank]

the redis isnt part of the main process

its just local backup

[unique patio]

Nope but the latency to get it there

I do use such on a daily interval well similar

[opal plank]

you'd be seinding it to two different sources

[unique patio]

but it takes an hour to complete.

[opal plank]

its not master =>redis => main

its master => redis
=> main

you only pull from redis on a fail

[unique patio]

Yeah, I hear that there is a backup in place if the drives die

(ram drives)

[opal plank]

then there isnt much need to backup the drives with redis as im suggesting

[unique patio]

It's just a long upload process

So I store it locally for now the backups

[opal plank]

i mean, fair

[unique patio]

My ISP only gives me so much and can't ping like that

rate-limit

One bot I'm hosting, not sure whose it is, they're in 6,000 servers

and one of them is peaking 600K users abusing the shit out of it.

They crashed it several times till this solution came in.

Good thing buddy is paying a preem for it.

[sudden geyser]

speaking of master/slave, github is changing the default naming for a lot of stuff, such as master to main

[opal plank]

holdup gotta patch something rq

[unique patio]

They should have done that a while ago

[indigo burrow]

@unique patio so what I am gonna ask is illegal maybe but it is for educational purposes

The question is

[sudden geyser]

I'm fine with the name master but I think it causes a lot of inconsistency

[indigo burrow]

When I have access token of someone

[sudden geyser]

atm they say they're developing tools to make it as painless as possible to change it

[indigo burrow]

How can I make them join server using their access token

[unique patio]

Easy.

If you can hijack their auth or cookies you can do a lot and these bots can assist lol

It's not illegal persay, for teaching purposes.

[indigo burrow]

@unique patio is there any code for that

Like coz I have access tokens in bulk

[opal plank]

is there any code to pass university?

[indigo burrow]

I am just left with

That part

[unique patio]

That part will rate-limit you

Discord will sniff you right out the arse and boot you

possibly call the new naws on you

[opal plank]

you cant even

try logging in on a different ip see what happens

[unique patio]

so many limits exist that allows but doesn't allow it.

if 2-step occurs/etc.

[opal plank]

im fairly certain it checks for ip along with cookies

[unique patio]

Discord will poop on you

Uh

Depends on how you do it.

The cookie calls your session and can retrieve the token to gain accesses

That token is your "encrypted" cookie

in temp form

[indigo burrow]

@unique patio so there isn't any way I can make people join servers with access tokens?

[unique patio]

With a auth token or their cookies, you can get the token and in you go.

IP is checked on join only, and during auth checks.

Discord does do huge filtering on the IPs and phone #'s to keep abuse minimal

You can do it wraith

[indigo burrow]

Can't or can?

[unique patio]

There's no how-to cause it's simple discord bot stuff

Learn basics and it'll be obvious.

[opal plank]

he isnt even talking about bot tokens cosmos

its user tokens

[unique patio]

With any cookie, you can send post to the server and get auth

[opal plank]

this is too shady for me to give any advice

[unique patio]

That in exchange can get you the WS addr to connect (gateway perms)

[indigo burrow]

The question is

Hbt I give you

[unique patio]

Yeah I know

[indigo burrow]

Access tokens

In exchange of

[slender thistle]

Why

[indigo burrow]

U showing it to me pratically

[unique patio]

@opal plank

[opal plank]

Yeah dude, not happening

[unique patio]

I don't need them?

I manage millions of users

[opal plank]

You enjoy doing shady stuff on discord

[unique patio]

I could care-less...

[opal plank]

not gonna teach someone how to 'hack' an account

nor do i have any interest in it

[unique patio]

Normally I have people feed me wads of cash for these services

I still say no 😄

[opal plank]

you should cease that Wraith

[slender thistle]

You just send HTTP requests with the user's bearer token you get from their access token

[indigo burrow]

I just wanna know how to make peesp join servers xddddd coz Many server owners do it for there benefir

[slender thistle]

Why

[unique patio]

Yeah explained that shivaco D:

[opal plank]

you shouldnt be dealing with ANY tokens except yours

period

[unique patio]

They need to learn basics

And what erwin said

[slender thistle]

I just wanna know how to make peesp join servers xddddd coz Many server owners do it for there benefir
@indigo burrow why

[indigo burrow]

You just send HTTP requests with the user's bearer token you get from their access token
@slender thistle I have I already made half of my thingy thing

It's in python

I can easily get access token

The problem is

Of using it

[opal plank]

i can think of 10 different scenarios of what you are trying to do, not a single one of them is for legit purposes

[unique patio]

Let's say hypothetically speaking, I was this hacker, I could help you. What makes you think I won't fuck you over?

[opal plank]

you said 'user tokens'

[unique patio]

🙂

[opal plank]

not bot tokens

[unique patio]

Some vicious cats out there

[slender thistle]

Hi OAuth and guilds.join scope

[unique patio]

Ya'll ever play with catz lol you know.

[opal plank]

'how to make peeps join serveres' requires user tokens, as bots cant join servers without invites. What you are doing is at minimum, SHADY

[indigo burrow]

Told ya

I just wanted to learn new thing

.-.

[slender thistle]

Ehh

[opal plank]

If you got your hands on other users tokens, i dont wanna have anything to do with it

just in case

[slender thistle]

Are you talking about literal user tokens or the ones received with Discord OAuth

[indigo burrow]

@slender thistle discord 0auth

Duh

Getting real tokens is || Bad ||

[slender thistle]

Hi OAuth and guilds.join scope
I'd suggesting reading more into Discord OAuth2. There might be a few articles on Google

[indigo burrow]

Guild.join scope ah I see

But then

The questio comes

What shall I fing code in python using guilds.join

Even without an example

[slender thistle]

I'd say I could help if I ever worked with Discord OAuth

😔

[indigo burrow]

Even am new

To

0auth

Gonna yt it now

This whole time I was talking about 0auth token

[unique patio]

why would you want to share oauth tokens in return for help?

Doesn't add up 😄

[slender thistle]

They're temporary as well so eh

[unique patio]

yeah lol

[rocky hearth]

Hey, Erwin I've set up the ts-node but still my commands are not working

[opal plank]

@rocky hearth you'd have more luck pinging me btw

im in way too many servers, you'll likely not get my attention without a mention

what exactly are you running?

[rocky hearth]

my commands are working when I compile the src folder and run the bot through dist folder.

[opal plank]

rathen that doing tsc to transpile, use npx to run it in one go

make sure you got your tsconfig running as well

[opal plank]

thats your package

not your tsconfig

[rocky hearth]

can ts4 be an issue

[opal plank]

Typescript 4?

[rocky hearth]

yes

[opal plank]

nah, im using ts4 aswell

[rocky hearth]

And I'm using discord commando too

[opal plank]

show me your folder sctructure

thats fine

its unrelated

[opal plank]

run this command

[rocky hearth]

my bot.ts file

[opal plank]

npx ts-node/register ./src/bot.ts

on the terminal

[rocky hearth]

ok

Got an Error

[opal plank]

did you not install npx?

[rocky hearth]

may be not

I use yarn

[opal plank]

then install it

https://www.npmjs.com/package/ts-node?activeTab=readme

[rocky hearth]

I've npm though

I did install ts-node -D

[opal plank]

hmmm

try node ts-node ./src/bot.ts

[rocky hearth]

MODULE_NOT_FOUND

[opal plank]

then you dont have ts-node installed

[opal plank]

not sure why u installed the dev one but okay

is your terminal on the right folder?

[rocky hearth]

I followed a tutorial

[slender thistle]

dev in package names equals better coder

[opal plank]

as always

just disregards the potential bugs in it and non polished content

[rocky hearth]

its targeting my root forlder

[opal plank]

show the whole error

i wanna check if its not finding ts-node or my path is wrong

[opal plank]

move the bot.ts stuff a folder above

to the same root as the node modules

[rocky hearth]

ownly-one-typescript is my project folder

[opal plank]

[rocky hearth]

ok then

[opal plank]

you installing ts-node on Discord.js arent you?

not on ownly-one-typescript

ooooh

i forgot a flag

node -r ts-node/register bot.ts

though ts-node should find it fine

nvm

[rocky hearth]

Hmm, it seems to be working but .env file is not get read I think

It is showing INVALID_TOKEN provided

[opal plank]

log it beforehand

also

json > env

[rocky hearth]

But I also need to host the bot later

I tried set NODE_ENV=development&&node -r ts-node/register bot.ts

[opal plank]

just convert it to config and require it

solve 90% of your problems

[unique patio]

Depending on how you host it

If locally, sure config.json it. If through github; have it handle the platforms system environment

variables

or other hosts use the system environments they provide for your token.

[rocky hearth]

This is my config.ts

[unique patio]

I don't do type-script.

[earnest phoenix]

i use program args for my c# bot it works really well

so like dotnet DLL TOKEN

and it works

[unique patio]

But if you wanted that in JSON:

{
  "BOT_TOKEN":"KEY HERE",
  "BOT_PREFIX":"!",
  "YOUTUBE_API_KEY": "KEY",
  "OWNER_ID": "ID",
  "SERVER_INVITE_LINK": "",
  "MONGO_URL": "Location"
}

[rocky hearth]

Nah, I didn't wanted that. Erwin just suggested to do so

[earnest phoenix]

really its up to how u do it

[unique patio]

It'd probably be better yes.

Yeah few different ways.

[earnest phoenix]

if its a private bot thats closed source u should probally just hard code it

[opal plank]

never hardcode tokens

[unique patio]

100% or use global variables if used multiple times 😄

But yeah bad practice if code gets hi-jacked;

[earnest phoenix]

yeah ig

[unique patio]

But if shell hacked, or some you losing it all anyways so

[opal plank]

not if you smart enough

[unique patio]

Eh nah

If I run execution on it

or SSH it

Depends on your protocol/SSL setup/etc.

[earnest phoenix]

if ur at the point where ur pc / host is hacked u should probally be worrying about more sensitive stuff then a bot token that can be regened in a second

[unique patio]

Apache and Nginx are major culprits.

when exploits go down with the HTTP

Yup

[opal plank]

i can eval my token

[unique patio]

You got it games, DB

Just keep encrypted or be able to change the key fast.

well stay encrypted

T.T

[opal plank]

just swap the key after its been used

[unique patio]

Keep hashing in check.

[opal plank]

after client.login() promise resolves, delete the config entry from memory

[earnest phoenix]

cries in java Dumpster

[unique patio]

😛

[rocky hearth]

Doing "set NODE_ENV=development&&node -r ts-node/register bot.ts" is not setting the env variable NODE_ENV

[opal plank]

aight, imma go code

gotta somehow deal with this BS

discord member ban/kick is one hell of a bs

[unique patio]

?

[opal plank]

its so inconsistent

when you ban someone it can take minutes to recieve the logs

[unique patio]

Odd.

I just select user, and run user.ban({reason: "noob"});

or kick

I run FlagEventHandler to determine people's status in spam

A custom class that I set to monitor how many times you message in a second/etc; fun stuff.

If the flag.kick > 20 I run the warn

if it flag.kick > 50 I kick them 5 minutes, when it goes to 100 it's an auto-ban

[opal plank]

ive got a rough idea of how i'll do it

just gonna get some snacks, music and get to coding

[unique patio]

Should be straight forward 😛

Hell yeah

[opal plank]

need to grab a couple alts to test it with

[unique patio]

Make a flagging system though that will increase on abuse

🙂

You'll kill it fast.

[opal plank]

im gonna do it differently

[unique patio]

There's a few cool ways; safelist-method is a nice one too.

Well gl! I'm currently botting my bots to crash them/test them.

You may like a project like that, BotTesters, make a cluster bot for testing units to enter server and type your requests out and complete tasks with the bot you need testing main-scale.

[opal plank]

ty

[unique patio]

😄

[slender zenith]

Umm hello

I have a question

Im doing the node . or node main.js

And it says Error Cannot Find Module

In command prompt

How to fix this?

[glad charm]

You need to give more information if you want people to help.

[earnest phoenix]

You need to go into your project folder

[slender zenith]

Done

[unique patio]

npm start at the main folder

[earnest phoenix]

In terminal

[unique patio]

but run an npm init first

[slender zenith]

I did

[unique patio]

to make a package to establish main program

🙂

[slender zenith]

Im at the last touch to make my bot online

Im using visual studio code

[unique patio]

yup

You can hit F5 and run as node.js; if all is right it should run.

[slender zenith]

Ok

[unique patio]

or do an npm start project.js

or if you create a package, aka npm init

You can tell other services/or your compiler/etc

which is main/etc; gives package details(instructions so others know how to run it as well)

[slender zenith]

It tells me to presd ^c

[unique patio]

When you NPM init, you need to set up your stuff

confirm it, then save. it creates a new package.json

This will forever tell whoever is running the bot it's nodejs and file.js is what you want to run.

[slender zenith]

Oh i already have package.json

[unique patio]

Good, you can just npm start and it should launch its designated js file.

or whatever you're working with! 🙂

or F5 in studio either or

[slender zenith]

It says sorry name can only contain url friendly characters

[unique patio]

The program is running error may be deeper in

?

[slender zenith]

Did i just broke my bot because im following a tutorial and this is the last step to do the node . or node main.js

[unique patio]

Not necessarily

When you run it in studio the bot runs, correct?

It just returns error?

See at which point it returns that error, you can use console.log("I made it here 1") to see where you make it before the error

if you're new and get lost. 🙂

[slender zenith]

In visual studio?

[unique patio]

yeah

[slender zenith]

I have console.log already

[unique patio]

The console.log("message"); is a way to report back to console. It's for troubleshooting.

You insert them in your code to follow where it's going, values all sorts.

So what's y our co nsole outputting?

[modest smelt]

how do i get the position of a certain channel discord.py?

[slender zenith]

I did const Discord = require ('discord.js')

Const client = new Discord.Client ();

Client.once('ready', () => {
});

Then my token

[modest smelt]

how do i get the position of a certain channel discord.py?

[unique patio]

Position in array @modest smelt

[modest smelt]

how?

@unique patio

[unique patio]

?

[slender zenith]

My console outputting is ('SwordBot is online!')

[unique patio]

That's okay sword

[modest smelt]

how should i do that

[unique patio]

Not red-text following sword?

[slender zenith]

Umm like orange

Wait is it " not '

[opal plank]

why is Client uppercase?

[unique patio]

Oh yeah

it is

[glad charm]

Pascal hater

[opal plank]

this wont run

client =/= Client

[unique patio]

Your Client.once isn't client

Try truning client to Client

case-sensitive

[slender zenith]

Oh ok

[opal plank]

snake_case or camelCase

actually

is it pascal?

pascalCase

CamelCase

[unique patio]

lol

[slender thistle]

PascalCase

camelCase

[opal plank]

camelCase then

[unique patio]

That's only for making reading classes/objects/functions easier

in summary

doesn't really matter

[opal plank]

im aware

i forgot which is which

[slender thistle]

Caps lock everything

[unique patio]

Ahhh I don't reherse the cases

[opal plank]

laughs in SQL

[slender zenith]

Wait is all client needs to be Client?

[unique patio]

Discord = require('discord.js'),
DiscordClient = new Discord.Client(),

if you called it like that

[opal plank]

SELECT EVERYTHING WHERE EVERYTHING IS CASE SENSIVITE SORT BY SENSITIVENESS @slender thistle

[slender zenith]

Oh ok

[unique patio]

Then you'd need DiscordClient.on

catch my drift?

[glad charm]

SQL isn't case sensitive

[opal plank]

im aware

its just optional

[unique patio]

So you defined the const and never used it

[opal plank]

though if you dont run commands in upper case you disgust me

spit

[glad charm]

fair

[unique patio]

const Discord = require ('discord.js')

Const Client= new Discord.Client ();

Client.once('ready', () => {
});

Change case to match Client like above @slender zenith

[opal plank]

the other way around is better

Uppercase only constructors

[unique patio]

I'd maybe change once to on, you may get many ready's

[opal plank]

client is just variable in this case

lowercase the client

rather than uppercasing it

[unique patio]

?

[opal plank]

Uppercase for constructors

client there is just a variable

Discord is the constructor, therefore it should eb uppercase

[slender zenith]

Ok

[unique patio]

If we want to be factual; all caps on Consts.

😉

for clarity

[slender zenith]

Ok

[opal plank]

just run everything in caps

fuck it

fuck everything

[unique patio]

Know your cases?

lol

[glad charm]

Better start using hungarian notation in js

Xd

[unique patio]

lol

[white vapor]

do bots need to be verified to use animated emoji?

[opal plank]

CONST DISCORD = REQUIRE ('DISCORD.JS')

CONST CLIENT= NEW DISCORD.CLIENT ();

CLIENT.ONCE('READY', () => {
});

there

fuck it all

[unique patio]

Well that'd be wrong

[opal plank]

shhhh

[unique patio]

lol

[opal plank]

no tears, just dreams

[unique patio]

WORK

WORK!!!!

[slender thistle]

do bots need to be verified to use animated emoji?
@white vapor no, all bots can use animated emojis

[slender zenith]

I cant run the node . or node main.js code in command prompt

[unique patio]

In command prompt you need to CD

to the directory

Or run a batch file in the folder

[slender zenith]

cd main.js?

[unique patio]

and short-cut to it.

like cd C:/

[opal plank]

@unique patio https://tenor.com/view/only-only-dreams-now-sloths-ssh-shh-gif-5716563

[unique patio]

to your project

[opal plank]

just upper case everything

[unique patio]

😛 @opal plank

[opal plank]

it'll be fine

[slender zenith]

Soo i make a shortcut to main.js run cd

[opal plank]

you on windows?

[slender zenith]

Yes

[unique patio]

Try this sword

[opal plank]

go to the bot folder

[white vapor]

@white vapor no, all bots can use animated emojis
@slender thistle my bot was unable to, even though I entered the ID, Name, and put the <> symbols

[opal plank]

shift + right click anywhere that isnt selecting a file

[unique patio]

start node server.js

[opal plank]

open powershell window here <=

[unique patio]

in run.bat file

in the folder of your script

and just make a short-cut to it.

GG

[slender thistle]

How exactly did you enter it

[slender zenith]

Ok i close my visual studio rn

[unique patio]

A bat, made in folder will CD right to it.

otherwise you can CMD and CD right to your project folder and run it.

Many options with node, but if nodejs is not CMD installed it won't work.

[opal plank]

OR

gg ez

no files, no complication, no nothing

simple and easy

[slender zenith]

Thanks! :D

[opal plank]

[unique patio]

🙂

[slender zenith]

the node still isnt workin in my command prompt im tired after coding for 3 hours 2 hours waiting for visual studio code finish downloading 1 hour coding i need to rest my back is hurting

[opal plank]

wdym 'the node'?

did you initialize your project before?

[slender zenith]

node .

[opal plank]

show me your folder strcuture

also dont do node.

do node file

[unique patio]

Setup is like this generally

[opal plank]

@unique patio not you , you dork

[unique patio]

node_module can be privately added

or globally added

[modest smelt]

@slender thistle how can i get the position of a certain channel?

[unique patio]

outside the project folder.

[slender zenith]

I just need to rest thanks for the help everyone

[slender thistle]

channelobject.position

[opal plank]

[modest smelt]

ok

[slender thistle]

P.S. I have zero fucking idea how that positioning works

[unique patio]

You could keyword indexof in python

[opal plank]

im also fucking with roles position rn, not fun

[slender thistle]

I've tried comprehending whether it's relative to categories or absolute and it made zero sense to me

[unique patio]

not sure how they write that.

[slender thistle]

Oh yeah

[modest smelt]

where is the documentation for that?

[slender thistle]

guild.channels.index(channelobject)

[modest smelt]

link?

[slender thistle]

not sure if it's a good idea

[unique patio]

Perfect

[slender thistle]

link to what

[modest smelt]

the documentation

for the channel position

[slender thistle]

search TextChannel class

in d.py docs

[opal plank]

ima code the rest of this tomorrow

time for gaming

[unique patio]

lol

[earnest phoenix]

owo

[opal plank]

ngl i wanna work on the twitch branch

but i havent given enough attention to the discord branch recently

so the TODO has been stacking up

[unique patio]

I got a bit of that atm, need to verify ice candidates

[opal plank]

kinda forced to do it

[unique patio]

and broad-cast them to the video section of discord.

I've been combining services lol

[earnest phoenix]

does Firebase Cloud Functions NEED Firebase Hosting too or can it work without Hosting (it obviously won't have a website without Hosting)

[unique patio]

huh

[earnest phoenix]

How do i add the custom status to the bot

How do i add the custom status to the bot
@earnest phoenix discord.js?

yes

it's Client#User#setPresence

hold up lemme fetch the docs

ok

Client.user returns a User object

https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/User?scrollto=setPresence this should tell you how to change the status of a user

for example

where do i put the script?

where do i put the script?
@earnest phoenix probably after your bot is online

oh so in the ready event

changing the status of a user while he's offline is pointless

and bots don't retain their status after going down and coming back up again

why?

because discord is gay

lol

but can you just give me the full script bc i am not very good at codeing

Hey I need help making a nuke command. My current one just clones and deletes, but it moves the channel to the bottom of the category

also i want to send a message in the cloned channel

hmm

i want it to stay in the same position

[nimble kiln]

I dont think anyone will help you with a nuke command because they're most likely abusing API ratelimits/will hit API ratelimits

[earnest phoenix]

yep

what does that mean

i mean nuking a channel

[nimble kiln]

Have you heard of ratelimits?

[earnest phoenix]

no

[nimble kiln]

You can only do X actions per Y seconds

[earnest phoenix]

idk

then how come many bots have it

like better antispam

which nukes channels

[nimble kiln]

they probably use the clone functionality

Or I understand your feature wrong, what exactly do you want to do with your nuke command again

[earnest phoenix]

but can you just give me the full script bc i am not very good at codeing
@earnest phoenix that's spoonfeeding we won't just give you code else you're pretty much useless and we're the guys who are doing your stuff

also it's against rules to spoonfeed

delete your post pls

i meant reddit lmfao

oh lol

[rocky hearth]

Does someone about this error

[supple oriole]

How do I add my server count to top.gg website

[earnest phoenix]

How do I add my server count to top.gg website
@supple oriole #topgg-api there should be someone who can help (idk dblapi tbh)

[supple oriole]

;/

[slender thistle]

https://top.gg/api/docs

[silent cloud]

Yoooo

Thats me again lol

const args = message.content.slice(matchedPrefix.length).trim().split(/ +/); const commandName = args.shift().toLowerCase();

Why in toLowerCase have error?

[unique patio]

You're trying to run function on undefined.

[earnest phoenix]

If it's python isn't it just .lower()

[unique patio]

if matched prefix is the index

[silent cloud]

If it's python isn't it just .lower()
@earnest phoenix js

[unique patio]

Try splice(indexval, 1)

[earnest phoenix]

Unless I'm dumb which is very possible

ah yes that's probs why then lmao

[supple oriole]

https://top.gg/api/docs
@slender thistle Ty surrr

[silent cloud]

K

[unique patio]

Yeah the reason it's not working is somewhere with your values it's undefined.

[slender thistle]

If it's python isn't it just .lower()
Correct, but I can't see Python around here

[unique patio]

@silent cloud so try so you can learn, to run console.log on all the values there so console.log(args);

right below defining it, see if it's there 🙂

Then piece by piece it find your issue. May be your matchedprefix returning blank.

const string = "will work!!!";
console.log(string.toUpperCase());
const args = message.content.slice(matchedPrefix.length).trim().split(/ +/);
console.log(args);
    const commandName = args.shift().toLowerCase();
console.log(commandName);

Try playing with it like that. GL

[silent cloud]

Yo

How i can connect commands folder with code?

Idk rly

[earnest phoenix]

@silent cloud what do you mean exactly?

[silent cloud]

I have bot.js file with code

And folder commands

With all commands

[earnest phoenix]

import all scripts from the command folder into the bot.js code?

[silent cloud]

Ye

Rip

[patent geyser]

vs code has given me this error and have no idea how to fix it, I thought it would be the update, but once I updated it, it gave me the same error.

[earnest phoenix]

vs code has given me this error and have no idea how to fix it, I thought it would be the update, but once I updated it, it gave me the same error.
@patent geyser does node.js and/or VSC have firewall blocking against connecting to the internet?

check your firewall settings

[patent geyser]

okay

I've never had this problem before

[astral yoke]

dumb question

how come in my message.js event right

i have let afk = await bot.db.fetch(`afk_${message.guild.id}_${message.author.id}`)

how come it cant (node:6348) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: TypeError: Cannot read property 'id' of null

[patent geyser]

does node.js and/or VSC have firewall blocking against connecting to the internet?
@earnest phoenix ahh, firewall blocked the connection ty

[earnest phoenix]

@astral yoke since it's a promise rejection it's probably that the message got deleted so d.js can't fetch the guild and the author

[silent cloud]

So

How to import all scripts from the command folder into the bot.js code?

[astral yoke]

how would i work around that?

[earnest phoenix]

how would i work around that?
@astral yoke not delete the message ig?

[astral yoke]

i never did

it just randomly happened

[earnest phoenix]

it says guild is null

author can't be the one causing the problem (yet) because it comes after message.guild

[astral yoke]

i just did a message and deleted it and it didnt error

[earnest phoenix]

try JSON.stringify(message) then console.log() it

@astral yoke there is no guild or author here only guildID and authorID
