This is dev section 🤔
dark axle
Hey can users vote using the bot or they still need to use the site?
Like a vote command that votes for the bot.
slender thistle
They still need to use the site
misty sigil
ads any fucking day
dark axle
@misty sigil You think you can answer that?
earnest phoenix
I literally 👏 cannot put 👏 ads on my website 👏 because 👏 Google Ads 👏 just doesn't wanna work for me
misty sigil
then don’t put shit on your site
misty sigil
dark axle
Nah I mean the discord bot list site
compact oriole
just don't monetize ur site if you aren't capeable of it
dark axle
Not my site
misty sigil
Hey can users vote using the bot or they still need to use the site?
Like a vote command that votes for the bot.
@dark axle no
slender thistle
@dark axle see my messages
earnest phoenix
time to closed source the botum because i can't afford keeping it up without monetization but i can atleast earn from lawsuits from people copy pasting my copyrighted code
misty sigil
bot for money
slender thistle
Don't monetize anything if you aren't capable of applying common sense
compact oriole
^
dark axle
Ah Thanks
compact oriole
slender thistle
"copyrighted code"
compact oriole
el mayo
slender thistle
Do you really just slap a license on it and call it copyrighting it
compact oriole
yes
misty sigil
nobody gaf about copyrighted code anyways
slender thistle
Apart from really annoying people ig
misty sigil
just have a closed source bot 
compact oriole
yea, I close source the good stuff
slender thistle
My shit is closed source anyway lmao
compact oriole
and open source the meh
misty sigil
and close source the shit
tight plinth
hi affax
slender thistle
I was going to rewrite my bot and put it on GitHub once my website is done
misty sigil
Or I’ll steal it
misty sigil
I wouldn’t open source my current bot cuz I don’t want people stealing it
slender thistle
Eh it's for transparency purposes for my team
compact oriole
imagine me open sourcing my bots/games
misty sigil
lmao
compact oriole
I work so much to make them good
pale vessel
lmao i remember about the pfp affax
compact oriole
bro
around 10-20+ people have stolen it
some of them have been permabanned from Discord
misty sigil
nobody can steal my pfp because my pfp is Jeremy Clarkson
tight plinth
10-20?
misty sigil
or I think that’s how it works
tight plinth
more like 100

thanks OwO

earnest phoenix
why this error? my think everythink is true
hazy sparrow
earnest phoenix
@hazy sparrow whats your lanugae
hazy sparrow
js
earnest phoenix
not discord js?
hazy sparrow
yes d.js
azure fable
@hazy sparrow args is undefined
azure fable
make sure its being assigned correctly
azure fable
looking now :)
azure fable
@earnest phoenix What is this error from? are you attempting to login to an online service? Can you verify in your debugger that the variables that store the credentials that you are using actually have the correct values?
@hazy sparrow What is this method for? are you 100% sure that args is being supplied when the method is called? (perhaps step through the execution of the function call in your debugger?
hazy sparrow
alr what if i defined args in the new8ball.js? will it work then?
azure fable
I'm not entirely sure what you mean, I don't know what your project structure looks like. Do you have your code in a repo somewhere that I can look at? (or can you put the relevant code in a gist?)
earnest phoenix
@earnest phoenix What is this error from? are you attempting to login to an online service? Can you verify in your debugger that the variables that store the credentials that you are using actually have the correct values?
@azure fable sorry for late. i need translate. token is always changing discord team. reason: 1000 loging. but my bot is true. if changing my token, my bot shutdown and opening 2-3 days
earnest phoenix
@azure fable thx for help
sterile parcel
What is better discord.js or discord.py?
sterile parcel
I use js (JavaScript)
azure fable
then use discord.js
@earnest phoenix I am having trouble understanding what you said.
My recommendation is to make sure that your discord token is correct.
if changing my token, my bot shutdown and opening 2-3 days
Are you saying that when you update your token, the bot breaks?
hazy sparrow
eh?
azure fable
answer is undefined
hazy sparrow
lemme show code brb
azure fable
okok
hazy sparrow
azure fable
change (line 51)
const answer = answers[Math.floor(Math.random() * answers.lenght)]
to
const answer = answers[Math.floor(Math.random() * answers.length)]
misspelled length again :P
azure fable
I actually used make exactly this mistake a lot lmfao
azure fable
question, what is happening here?
const prefix = "bow".toLowerCase
fk me
azure fable
not sure if that is remotely connected to the issue you just mentioned
but I think prefix should be a method with this assignment
which I don't think is what you want
hazy sparrow
but I think prefix should be a method with this assignment
@azure fable eh?
green kestrel
today's new feature, now the moderators who help run the bot can reconnect individual shards if they are having problems 🙂
azure fable
maybe just
const prefix = "bow"
I say that its a method, because you do "bow".toLowerCase, not "bow".toLowerCase()
so you're not actually calling the method
hazy sparrow
yeah lemme try just "bow"
earnest phoenix
const prefix = "bow".toLowerCase
toLowerCase is not an argument, it's a method
azure fable
yeah I think that is more along the lines of what you want
hazy sparrow
yea
earnest phoenix
you can just replace the commas with blank spaces
hazy sparrow
oh so .replace() will do?
earnest phoenix
yes
azure fable
Why the .split at the end?
const args = message.content.toLowerCase().slice(prefix.length).trim().split(/ +/);
thanks
azure fable
@hazy sparrow Why do you split apart the string they give as a message? That is why you have the commas
earnest phoenix
shouldn't happen
hazy sparrow
hmm
azure fable
can you try just
const args = message.content.toLowerCase().slice(prefix.length).trim()
and show us the outpue
earnest phoenix
ohhh
azure fable
(you have to disable your length check tho)
hazy sparrow
ok lemme try that
azure fable
That should just cut off leading and trailing whitespace, I believe
hazy sparrow
works that you so much guys
earnest phoenix
what works?
azure fable
happy to help o7
earnest phoenix
without the .split()?
azure fable
I can explain
earnest phoenix
but earlier it output without spaces
hazy sparrow
¯_(ツ)_/¯
azure fable
Yeah, I imagine that was caused by something else
that he'd since fixed, and probably forgot about, idk
lol
hazy sparrow
.remove(args[0])
azure fable
you mean like removing an element from a list?
hazy sparrow
azure fable
and that will remove the element from the array and return it
azure fable
Happy to help o7
green kestrel
would you rather have ads or your bandwith being used to serve data as a cdn?
@compact oriole oh god, not that thing that turns your browser into a bittorrent client to serve cdn is it
i wouldnt trust that thing as far as i could spit, and they usually pay you in credit for using their cdn yourself to host your own content, so its like some reciprocal bs
cloudflare is better. period
😄
hazy sparrow
it still answers even tho i told it to not if the arguments is less or equal to 2?
earnest phoenix
it thinks your question is 8ball
you're slicing at the wrong position
you could've also concluded that yourself if you had just read the output
azure fable
bow pro the args variable is a string, not a list
whole crater

earnest phoenix
not the channel for that
azure fable
lol
hazy sparrow
it thinks your question is 8ball
@earnest phoenix but still i code it to see if theres 2 arguments not 1
earnest phoenix
lol
@hazy sparrow if you want to check if there are 2 arguments, then you have to turn the string into a list. to do that you have to .split() the entire message content string, remove the first element of the list (which is the command) and then check the length of the created list
let message = "command arg1 arg2";
let args = message.split();
args.shift();
if (args.length >= 2) {
lorem ipsum
}
Fuck slow internet
@hazy sparrow if you want to check if there are 2 arguments, then you have to turn the string into a list. to do that you have to .split() the entire message content string, remove the first element of the list (which is the command) and then check the length of the created list
@earnest phoenix ah
I get it now
unique patio
YourStringHere.substr(1).split(/\s+/);
substr(1) can be adjusted to your prefix length, few adjustemnts. /\s+/ is for newlines, spaces and all that defines as such. 😄
earnest phoenix
or that yes
hazy sparrow
Kk
earnest phoenix
unique patio
You'd call it as such, result[0] where 0 (can be as many inputs as you want to detect up to.
^ Worded that wrong but it should make sense.
earnest phoenix
@earnest phoenix What you cant write a simple file loader? 😂
i just don't like the way you do it in js
that's all
i'm not saying it's complicated but i don't like it
Seems like you dont know how to do it efficiently
because i never made a bot in discord.js
i just watch here how people do it
js commands take a command-per-file style while py ones have a module style
is that a thing
slender thistle
Well unless...
slender thistle
You can accompish the same with Python via bot.add_command
earnest phoenix
i had no idea, i saw all the people here do it in a message event and then split the string into arguments
but in that case wtf
most people are lazy to build a proper command handler
...which means you can easily break it too
your arguments are supposed to be parsed, not extracted from, for example, a mentions collection
wooow that changed my whole perspective on d.js
@earnest phoenix I am having trouble understanding what you said.
My recommendation is to make sure that your discord token is correct.
Are you saying that when you update your token, the bot breaks?
@azure fable yes
azure fable
@earnest phoenix Oh, are you hitting the 1000 logins per day limit?
If yes, why do you have to login that many times?
earnest phoenix
Cuz logins are cool
azure fable
Make sure that you aren't calling client.login(<token>) inside of any loops or events
that should just happen once when you start up your bot
silver lintel
message.guild.members.get(args[0]); TypeError: message.guild.members.get is not a function, i think i need to add cache somewher

pure sapphire
so I wanna make my own lib for a bot in js, does anyone has any recommendation, tip or smth on how to do one? I don't wanna use the dhit that discord.js is
@tight plinth discord.js is great with amazing documentation. If you want to make your own, you will need to establish a web socket connection with discord and make loads of API calls
Discord.js makes it all easier
tight plinth
discord.js caching cough
pure sapphire
Just cache it yourself
faint prism
Yeah, you'll want to implement that too
pure sapphire
O yeah
tight plinth
If you want to make your own, you will need to establish a web socket connection with discord and make loads of API calls
@pure sapphire mk
pure sapphire
And rate limits and API errors are a thing, so you'd have to make handlers for that
tight plinth
not a problem
earnest phoenix
the gateway flow is a pain in the ass
tight plinth

Discord.js documentation? Great. Discord API documentation? Took me 3 hours to set up oauth for the first time because it confused me
earnest phoenix
oauth isn't a concept that's exclusive to discord
you can take oauth docs from any site and apply it to discord
tight plinth
yea
pure sapphire
But discords documentation on it isn't great
earnest phoenix
what isn't great
earnest phoenix
i understood everything from oauth docs
it took me 10 minutes to bootstrap a basic login page
pure sapphire
Yes I understand it now but when I was first doing it forever ago it confused me
earnest phoenix
probably because you were working with oauth in general for the first time
pure sapphire
I ended up reading a guide to oauth

@tight plinth discord.js isn't the only library available for NodeJS/Javascript. You have many other choices such as Eris and other smaller/less well known libraries to interact with discord's api
tight plinth
@fluid basin ik
fluid basin
though some might be unmaintained and you will need update/maintain it yourself
and doing that all by yourself isn't a great idea unfortunately
tight plinth
well time to try to find one of these small and unknown libs
fluid basin
means also you need to implement new discord apis yourself
I can try to find some for you

Copy websocket handling and make your own API call methods ftw

@silent cloud have you tried making a postman request directly to the dbl api to ensure it's just one request?
429 makes me think you've got it in a loop or something
tight plinth
the dbl module has nothing to do with youtube's 429s @silent cloud
faint prism
I didn't say youtube
tight plinth
are the 429 from the dbl module?

@silent cloud have you tried making a postman request directly to the dbl api to ensure it's just one request?
@faint prism yep, tried

can I show us the error plz

@tight plinth from HTTP
can I show us the error plz
@tight plinth

can you send the code

the reason was DBL module, but now it causes everything
That not code problem 100%

it worked, but after DBL stopped

yup it would be hard to help without any information
such as more detailed errors or code
quartz kindle
@silent cloud can you show your code?
quartz kindle
show only the dbl part
silent cloud
Thats happening when i try to use *play command
show only the dbl part
@quartz kindle i deleted it...
quartz kindle
and the problem persists?
silent cloud
Yep
quartz kindle
wait so the problem is actually the play command, not dbl?
so its a youtube problem
quartz kindle
dbl was not the reason
quartz kindle
429 are rate limit errors, and are unique to whatever service you're connecting to. dbl does not have anything to do with youtube
http requests are not global, they are per service
quartz kindle
you are being limited by a specific thing, not by everything
quartz kindle
http is not global
there is one specific website that is limiting you
if it happens in the play command, 99% chance its youtube
show your .catch() lines in your play command

except that the custom domain doesn't support HTTPS but that's fine for now I'll add encryption before deploying
pale vessel
it will
earnest phoenix
I'm in need of assistance by someone if possible please.
I'm working on an ExpressJS Webserver to handle database requests, but for some reason, it's not wanting to send data to the endpoint.
Server.js
//Webserver Handler
const express = require('express');
const bodyParser = require("body-parser");
const app = express();
var jsonParser = bodyParser.json();
var router = express.Router();
const sql = require("sqlite3").verbose();
let database = new sql.Database('./user-data.db', sql.OPEN_READWRITE || sql.OPEN_CREATE);
database.run(`CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS user(discord_id TEXT, prefix TEXT, isPremium TEXT, token TEXT)`);
router.use(function(req, res, next) {
if(!req.headers.authorization) return res.json({ code: 401, response: "You must provide an authorization key" });
if(req.headers.authorization !== config.credentials.server_auth) return res.json({ code: 401, response: "Incorrect authorization key" });
console.log(`[Server][${req.route.path}] A request has been made to the service.`);
next;
})
app.get('/get-user', [router, jsonParser], (req, res) => { res.send("OK"); require("./Endpoints/get-user.js")(req, res, database, unirest) });
app.listen(3000, console.log(`[Server] Server running on port 3000`));
test.js This is ran to send a test request
const unirest = require("unirest");
unirest.get(`http://localhost:3000/get-user`)
.header("Authorization", "ABC123")
.end(function(result) {
console.log(result.body);
})
Why discord why you give weirdo code blocks
It passes through the router, as it logs the "A request has been made to the service."
does MySQL work on repl.it PHP Web Server repls
I get the errorUndefined function mysqli_connect()when trying to do smth
pale vessel
try using pdo
pale vessel
code
obtuse niche
Maybe u can try PDO
narrow cloak
hey how can i restrict my discord server to send messages in certain text channel
obtuse niche
Yep
compact oriole
pdo?
earnest phoenix
Wait you can install modules for PHP 
quartz kindle
The PHP Data Objects (PDO) extension defines a lightweight, consistent interface for accessing databases in PHP
earnest phoenix
so I can install mysql through the CLI?

@narrow cloak any help please
compact oriole

ohhh, cool :)
pale vessel
don't you need composer for those
quartz kindle
php extensions are not like node modules
they need to be included at compile time, or dynamically linked from a php config file
its something repl.it itself should do, or give you access to
its not something the end user does
faint prism
@narrow cloak any help please
@narrow cloak https://discordjs.guide/popular-topics/common-questions.html#how-do-i-send-a-message-to-a-certain-channel
I like how that is listed under "Common questions"
quartz kindle
php does have something called "composer" tho, which is like npm in node, lets you install user-created libraries written in php
quartz kindle
but mysqli is a php extension, not a composer library
silent cloud
Hm
quartz kindle
@earnest phoenix just use PDO
silent cloud
Tim, how i can change IP or use proxy on hosting...
faint prism
Why would you want to do that
silent cloud
wait or change IP address, use proxy, etc
@quartz kindle .
quartz kindle
because hes rate limited by youtube
you cant change your IP address, unless you buy a new server, you can however use proxies
faint prism
You can use a proxy/vpn
quartz kindle
i believe ytdl itself has a guide on proxies
faint prism
However, the network speed will be dramatically reduced
earnest phoenix
and YouTube will bean you if you do weirdass shit
pale vessel
why didn't php just update their old mysql instead of creating a new one called mysqli
jeez
faint prism
because they think they are better
earnest phoenix
Anyone know a place where i can hire a dev

what kind of auto-correct changesshittofuck
@earnest phoenix it knows you're usually salty i guess
earnest phoenix
Ah freelancer good idea
quartz kindle
why didn't php just update their old mysql instead of creating a new one called mysqli
too many breaking changes i guess
quartz kindle
since when?
pale vessel
php8 i think
faint prism
everyone needs lambda
quartz kindle
oh cool
pale vessel
7.4
quartz kindle
last one i used was 7.2
pale vessel
same
quartz kindle
anyway fuck php
pale vessel
haha
earnest phoenix
php is basically javascript but like...different but syntax is super same...idk I'm not an experienced web developer
pale vessel
i use php sometimes since it's just easy to use
quartz kindle
i use php because i still have a regular webhosting server with all the usual crap
i want to move out of it tho
faint prism
(u => { print "no $u"})
pale vessel
hmm
quartz kindle
how dark
faint prism
My favorite language is pseudocode
quartz kindle
like C dark?
pale vessel
@faint prism so python :)
faint prism
Pretty much
opal plank
like koa/ts dark
faint prism
C isn't dark ;/
quartz kindle
too sugary for me
quartz kindle
koa is weird af
opal plank
quartz kindle
i looked at the docs
opal plank
its express-js
quartz kindle
didnt like what i saw
compact oriole
php is just...
opal plank
express legit a staple in server
quartz kindle
my next nodejs server will probably run on something like low+0http
opal plank
ive used php for the other dashboard
but fuck that crap
80% of the time i had no idea what i was doing
quartz kindle
xD
pale vessel
true
i know php before js
that helped
but made me always use semicolons lol
i like semicolons anyway
opal plank
koa looks hella promising but im still learning how all of it works
quartz kindle
i use semis because of php as well haha
compact oriole
thanks for informing me of its existance
opal plank
it comes shipped with all the interfaces needed
now its just logic on my part
still trying to figure out how cookies work tbh
quartz kindle
np affax xd
earnest phoenix
You could also just get_user(bot.owner_id)
@slender thistle I am looking to display the bot owner username on a embedded message for my bot's owner info command. Do I use:
async def owner(ctx): owner=await get_user(bot.owner_id) await ctx.send(f"{owner.username}")?
(Plus, indentation is wrong on purpose)
@earnest phoenix pinging us won't make us help you
@earnest phoenix So, if I didn't ping you, then you wouldn't see my message as it would of been overrided by several other messages as you didn't get notified about it cuz I didn't ping you.
faint prism
That logic reminds me of Randy from My Name Is Earl lol
earnest phoenix
applicationinfo has an owner property
@slender thistle But does it have an username attribute for the owner property?
slender thistle
@earnest phoenix owner.name
owner property is a User object
and that has name, discriminator, etc.

In jsv12 if we have to restrict a command to a specific perms group we use member.hasPermission('Perms')
But what will be the line of code if I want to restrict a command to a role??
vital lark
check if the member has the role?
mint hamlet
yes
earnest phoenix
and that has name, discriminator, etc.
@slender thistle Proof?
mint hamlet
I was making the ban command and its my private bot I want only people with the Staff role to use it
vital lark
Proof?
@earnest phoenix you know there is documentation, right?
earnest phoenix
In jsv12 if we have to restrict a command to a specific perms group we use

@mint hamlet@commands.has_roles()
@earnest phoenix you know there is documentation, right?
@vital lark Proof?
mint hamlet
@earnest phoenix Thanks
vital lark
t-that's python
earnest phoenix
I'm joking guys
You have to get the IDs or names first, lol

when doing dispatcher.end(), can I stop triggering the finish event?
vital lark
use the once function in dispatcher
it'll call it once and delete it from the emitters list
earnest phoenix
when doing
dispatcher.end(), can I stop triggering thefinishevent?
@rocky hearth Stop running the program and it will stop.
earnest phoenix
Proof?
earnest phoenix
Jk
pale vessel
but guild.owner is a member
earnest phoenix
I'm doing bot.owner
pale vessel
but
slender thistle
slender thistle
Yeah members are subclasses of User
earnest phoenix
I'm doing bot.owner
slender thistle
it's beautiful
pale vessel
like how you can use message stuff on context
slender thistle
See my screenshot @earnest phoenix
earnest phoenix
Suck my bum
pale vessel
interesting
earnest phoenix
Thx
slender thistle
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You're the one fucking around for no valid reason, I gave you what you needed to achieve what you asked for.
rocky hearth
it'll call it once and delete it from the emitters list
@vital lark But still it would trigger the finish event atleast once. I just only want to trigger the finish event when the song is finished playing.
Not when I end it manually
slender thistle
I'll get back to my gaming session, bye

@pale vessel what do you use for aeon dns?
pure lion
I thought you were using Google public dns API but there's no way to get the JSON for some weird reason
pale vessel
i use google's public dns
pure lion
Howum the fuckum
pale vessel
got that right
pale vessel
mhmm
pure lion
Thanks flaze, I knew there was a Google public dns thingy but didn't know what exactly

leaden rover
How do I make it so I can change my bot's prefix in discord.py?
pure lion
Use a database
leaden rover
Ok, which database is recommended?
pure lion
Well I use mongodb
leaden rover
Ok, I'll use mongodb
pure lion
I think the py wrapper is pymongo
earnest phoenix
Is it possible to use only a .JSON file as a database?
leaden rover
Ok
quartz kindle
yes its possible
pure lion
Never ever
pale vessel
Is it possible to use only a .JSON file as a database?
@earnest phoenix yes, with atomic file writing but i wouldn't recommend it
earnest phoenix
Proof?
quartz kindle
Lol
compact oriole
Lol
pale vessel
a package like https://www.npmjs.com/package/jsoning does that
pure lion
Mine corrupted in 3 days
placid iron
I used to have one
compact oriole
json database is just shit
placid iron
Would corrupt in less than 1m 😩
quartz kindle
you can use a json as a database, but its not recommended for many reasons
compact oriole
oh wow https://www.npmjs.com/package/jsoning has 12 downloads
definitely is good and reliable
digital ibex
the problem is with fs lol, not json
compact oriole
quartz kindle
the problem is not fs lol
compact oriole
lol
digital ibex
storing with fs
placid iron
If it was FS then all my things would be 
digital ibex
is the problem, mongodb stores using json
quartz kindle
fs is just an interface for the system's own fopen and similar io functions, all databases use it
compact oriole
yea exactly
earnest phoenix
How do I make my own database?
earnest phoenix
Is it possible to use a python file as a database?
compact oriole
earnest phoenix
Wtfff
quartz kindle
but just because its possible doesnt mean you should
placid iron
Wtg
compact oriole
file endings basically mean nothing
earnest phoenix
So I could even use a .txt file as a database or even a .PNG file????
quartz kindle
yes
all files are the same, its just binary data. the only difference is how you read it and how you structure the data in it
placid iron
You could use a .get_shwifty
earnest phoenix
Ok
vital lark
wait
opal plank
cant even blame me for this one cuz the declarations are from d.js
vital lark
what did you type-cast msg as
vital lark
oh
narrow cloak
<client>.user.setActivity('<activity>', { type: 'WATCHING' });
vital lark
huh weird
opal plank
cuz aparently message.id is type of never
narrow cloak
is it correct
vital lark
it could be the type for shitboard but idk
quartz kindle
why do you need to cast it tho?
narrow cloak
<client>.user.setActivity('<activity>', { type: 'WATCHING' }); please
vital lark
what about it
quartz kindle
wait
opal plank
i was casting to check if it was type error
quartz kindle
string is not assignable to type never
message.id is string
its shitboard that is never
vital lark
lmao
opal plank
im an idiot
quartz kindle
you shitboard
quartz kindle
lmao
honest perch
is the problem, mongodb stores using json
@digital ibex they use bson actually
