compact blaze
how would i have my source code on github such that my token does not get leaked
earnest phoenix
either read your token from an environmental variable
or .gitignore a file with your token in it
the approach with an environmental variable is more preferred though
compact blaze
i think ill have a different version of my code without my token online
and one on my local machine with the token
earnest phoenix
literally just read from an environmental variable
lol
having different versions is so dumb
what's the point of using github then

@client.command->@client.command()commands.bot->commands.Bot- your
get_bnk_datafunction only load the json, but not returning anything, so the users would be None? users = await get_bnk_datathis is not how you call a function- fix your indentation \😳
There's like so much wrong with your code, ig you should def learn python before making a bot
bruh
why did it ping
torpid axle
im assuming i can ask this here cuz its more of a development issue i think but my bot keeps spamming command answers, but idk if its something wrong with the code. the thing is, it only spams on some commands and all of the phrase reactions but on others it doesnt. sorry to bother anyone ;-;
im new to bot development and started it as a little project for a server i am in but i kind of want it to go on top.gg for everyone to enjoy but i dont want to apply if its gonna spam every command
its not intended to spam either lol
torpid axle
hm?
vernal rivet
ok, can you provide the coding of one of the commands that it is spamming?
torpid axle
yeah
earnest phoenix
@vernal rivet sorry how can i do that
vernal rivet
do what?
torpid axle
vernal rivet
do you terminate the bot and restart it after each changes?
torpid axle
the command itself works but it just spams
earnest phoenix
what are the ways to print an aggregate function to an embed? thank you!
@torpid axle you're aware you can just get(command), right?
torpid axle
do you terminate the bot and restart it after each changes?
i dont know how
earnest phoenix
if else checking defeats the purpose of using a map
quartz kindle
lmao
torpid axle
sorry if this is really simple and im just being a dumb dumb im new to all this
vernal rivet
then your problem is that you have multiple instance of it already
quartz kindle
let cmd = client.commands.get(command);
if(cmd) cmd.execute(message, args)
its that simple
torpid axle
ah
quartz kindle
no more if else
vernal rivet
in the console, just do ctrl + c and if it askes you if you want to terminate it, just type y, and enter

how many consoles do you have open?
torpid axle

vernal rivet
does it say something about terminating?
torpid axle
the console is the terminal right? sorry its been a long day
vernal rivet
yes console = terminal, terminal = console
vernal rivet
wait, does your bot listen to the console?
torpid axle
it should lol
vernal rivet
i mean do you have any process.stdin in your program?
vernal rivet
is this vscode terminal?
torpid axle
yeah
vernal rivet
oh, ok that explains the coloring of that ctrl + c
torpid axle
ye
vernal rivet
it works fine for me, i am trying this in my vscode, and it works

so my friends say i need to require somethin in main file to make my Welcome And Leave command work
but i dont get what they are saying

no process.stdin, was a question if it wasn't responding, but it should still terminate

i need a multibot with predefined answers. And each bot will have a list of answers. do you know an bot?
torpid axle
ah
vernal rivet
you have to require a file to use the file in your program.

yeah its not terminating
vernal rivet
what does your terminal look like?

vernal rivet
how do i make the bot count how many servers its in on its status
Did you check docs? There is a clear solution in there 
Check the Client section at guilds, and go from there.
are they in a for loop?
torpid axle
this is an example of one
earnest phoenix
you're not ignoring bots
vernal rivet
^^^
torpid axle
?
vernal rivet
you don't have check to see if the user is a bot or not, so if the bot response with a command name, it will execute, and cause a infinite loop
vernal rivet
is there a command name that searches for >:(?
torpid axle
i dont think so
no
sorry ;-;
imma try to solve this on my own so yall dont have to waste your time with me lol

check if message content includes Mati
quartz kindle
which language and library are you using?
quartz kindle
discord.js?
torn hollow
Yes
quartz kindle
client.on("message", message => {
if(message.content.includes("Mati")) {
// do something
}
})
if you want it to be a command
quartz kindle
then no

then put it outside the switch

Okay
STR is?

But if that don't start with Mati?

like the code?

Is it possible to wait for the "end" event to fire on a stream being piped to an express response
I've been trying but it never seems to recognize the event has been fired
I may be stupid and it isn't possible hence my asking here
for example <stream>.pipe(res).on("end") // do things
torn hollow
That not work
torn hollow
Yes
torpid axle
oh-
sorry-
hold on a sec
nu that should work
dont copy and paste - go from the screenshot i sent lol
torn hollow
😦
torpid axle
whats your script?
are you publishing the code before trying to see it works cuz that might be the issue
i have multiple trigger commands for that and they all work
also it wont work if you have any other words
you have to just have that one word
torn hollow
I don't know
torpid axle
go to the console and type node .
torn hollow
Send me DM
vernal rivet
?
torpid axle
why DM lol
i dont do DMs or friend requests cuz i dont know you personally ;-;
sorry
but you should publish your code by going to the terminal and typing node . and then test it out

For some reason it thinks
let loomianData2 = {}
is a function. I think im missing a close but Im not getting any syntax errors or popups
torn hollow
I'm trying what my bot reads the messenges and when one say the word "Mati" say something
Like
Yesterday Mati helps me with my homework
And the bot says
Mati is stupid
vernal rivet
Ok so that's all boolean logic you have to do
torn hollow
xD
vernal rivet
Ok I am probably reading this wrong, but you are wanting it to say something if it reads "Mari" or not?
torn hollow
Yes and no
torpid axle
idk if this is part of development but im not asking about terminating bots or anything lol
what if i wanted to do economy with my bot?
torn hollow
If someone say the word "MATI", the bot writes someone
torpid axle
how would i even begin to start coding that?
vernal rivet
what if i wanted to do economy with my bot?
Databases

If someone say the word "MATI", the bot writes someone

Okay, I know that, but I can't find the problem.
vernal rivet
Does d.js even ask you to choose the intents you want to use?
vernal rivet
Only jda that I know of does
And no d.js never asked you to specify what intent you want to use. Even then the intent would be sending messages. That's something that would be included already
boreal iron
Yeah is probably only required for privileged intents
vernal rivet
Best solution is to console.log the message object and test it again. If it doesn't show in the console then you are missing a permission. If it does send then something is wrong
lyric mountain
Funny enough, I've had users ask me why my bot wasn't working, only to find out they removed her WRITE_MESSAGE perm
I wonder why that's a perm to start with
vernal rivet
Perm or intent?
lyric mountain
Permission
vernal rivet
Is to prevent users to talk in places that they shouldn't talk in
lyric mountain
Yeah but, for bots?
lyric mountain
Yeah, ig it'd be extra work for nothing
boreal iron
Just define the required permissions in your bot invite URL
If anyone removed them later that’s nothing you can change

Greetings fellow hackers. For my bot that has recently been added to top.gg, I started to experiment a tad bit with the dblapi. Since my bot isn't really one with a reward system, I tried to make it send a message to a specific channel every time the bot was upvoted, yet I was unsuccessful at this, can anyone help me figure out what my issue is?
Code:
const bot = new Discord.Client({fetchAllMembers: true})
const dbl = new DBL('TOKEN', { webhookPort: 5000, webhookAuth: 'password' }, bot);
dbl.webhook.on('ready', hook => {
console.log(`Webhook running at http://${hook.hostname}:${hook.port}${hook.path}`);
});
dbl.webhook.on('vote', vote => {
bot.channels.cache.get('778460112313647175').send(`User ${bot.users.cache.get(vote.user).tag} just voted for Tic-Tac-Toe!`);
});
incase anyone ever has this issue and looks it up in here- if you end up with a node stream always returning true on writes even if it hits the highWaterMark - you can count ticks between chunks written and override it by emitting the drain event every 50 ticks (anything sooner you'll run into a choppy stream) - make sure to pause the stream first, then resume after the drain has taken place. if you don't pause it, chunks keep writing and the drain never occurs
Oh and you're most likely using a simple webserver to serve the stream and piping it in- you have to call the drain event on the pipe as well, as node doesn't recursively drain pipes
I'm posting this here because there's nothing on stackoverflow on this 😍

Error?
opal plank
there could be 3 things i can think of right away.
1 You didnt port foward(so no events are incoming)
2 You dont have the channel cached
3 You dont have the user cached
agile lance
do me a favor do
boreal flume
The users are cached
opal plank
are you use the user who voted will always be there though?
what if someone vote for your bot that isnt cached?
opal plank
or not even a user that you have shared servers with
do all 3 checks tbh
console.log({channel: bot.channels.cache.get('778460112313647175'), user: user});```add this there
boreal flume
It gives me the channel for logging it
opal plank
right under 'vote'
then trigger a vote
console.log({channel: bot.channels.cache.get('778460112313647175'), user: user, _user: bot.users.cache.get(vote.user)});```^^ updated
@boreal flume
agile lance
Also @boreal flume This would be better in #topgg-api :)
boreal flume
Nothing is logged when I trigger a vote
boreal flume
What do you mean by port forward?
opal plank
thats the actual term
lyric mountain
Open the door
opal plank
port foward it
lyric mountain
Basically
boreal flume
But what does it mean...
opal plank
google port fowarding + your router model
enable incoming stuff for your host/pc
its kind of annoying to explain
boreal flume
My bot runs off a server
opal plank
then you must have that port open before it can recieve packets
lyric mountain
Ubuntu?
boreal flume
AWS
opal plank
google AWS port fowarding
opal plank
dont use port 80
lyric mountain
80 is http
opal plank
node and port 80 is a BAD idea
lyric mountain
Don't use 80, 443, 8080 and 8000
opal plank
^^
lyric mountain
And 4321 if you use postgres
boreal flume
There are only two ports open on the server
opal plank
then open one more
boreal flume
80 and 443
opal plank
or use nginx of some other tool to attach on those common ports
lyric mountain
80 and 443 are open by default
opal plank
just google how to open mroe ports
boreal flume
And how do I open ports?
opal plank
surely your vps allows it
opal plank
im fairly certain aws has a panel they can use it
lyric mountain
Never used aws, so idk
opal plank
it shuld be a matter or literally just typing on google how to open ports on aws
aws is too big to not have port fowarding
lyric mountain
Is it linux-based?
lyric mountain
Does ufw status do anything?
earnest phoenix
hi guys recently i had a little problem, i added a ban / kick command to my bot, but the problem is that when someone join my server, the bot automatically send this message : (message.author.username + ", vous n'avez pas la permission nécessaire pour utiliser cette commande !")
which is a respond to someone who use a ban command without having the administrator permission
the thing is that the message is automatically sent when someone join the server like a join message
but the message is for members who don't have admin permission and use the ban command
HEY CAN ANYONE HELP KOYA BOT IS NOT SHOWING WELCOME MESSAGE
boreal flume
Does `ufw status` do anything?
Command not found
solemn latch
@earnest phoenix is your ban command inside an on member add event
earnest phoenix
HEY CAN ANYONE HELP KOYA BOT IS NOT SHOWING WELCOME MESSAGE
ask on their support server lmao
pale vessel
hmm, random scope
lyric mountain

Hm, then idk
See if there isn't some port or firewall panel in aws
pale vessel
@earnest phoenix you forgot an else

you counted your code chars, not the actual returned values
tribal siren
let me put every value into lettercount
pale vessel
No, don't
boreal flume
does it count every single field
Why not just make it all into the description, and separate the sections by Bold Text, as most of your characters you are counting are coming from long code text that returns much smaller amounts of character
boreal flume
The embed description I believe has a character limit of a tad over 2k
pale vessel
The field value is supposed to be a string @tribal siren
You need to join the array (with "\n" in your case)

You need to join the array (with "\n" in your case)

You should add that permission check inside the command

is there a way to check if the bot can send a message in a channel? (discord.js)
i want to save computations by just ignoring things in channels that the bot can read but not write
sudden geyser
You could use <TextChannel>.permissionsFor(...).has("SEND_MESSAGES"): https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/TextChannel?scrollTo=permissionsFor.
Keep in mind, this method only works on text channels (no DMs)
If you want to check for that, you must try sending your message (and catching if an error occurs).
sturdy gazelle
well i was wondering if there was a way to check without just trying and seeing if it worked
sturdy gazelle
im not worried about dm's so ill just blindly allow dm's since the only reason my bot is dming is if it was called for which, yes, you have to just send something to see if it works 😒
rocky hearth
Can I set custom status for the bot, without Playing
rocky hearth
is there a way to check if the bot can send a message in a channel? (discord.js)
client.on('message', message => {
if (message.channel.type == 'dm' || !message.channel.permissionsFor(client.user).has('SEND_MESSAGES')) return;
// your code
})
thonk
(message.author.bot || (message.guild && message.channel.permissionsFor(client.user.id).has("SEND_MESSAGES"))) thats what i came up with
wait im dumb
lmaoooo
rocky hearth
But I think you should let the user know, that your bot don't have permission to send messages.
sturdy gazelle
i mean to dm yeah its easy but i get irritated when bots dm me so it would be silly to do it
silver lintel
let channel = message.guild.channels.cache.find(channel => channel.name.toLowerCase() === 'general');
if (!channel) channel = message.guild.channels.cache.find(channel => channel.name.toLowerCase() === 'general-chat');
if (!channel) channel = message.guild.channels.cache.find(channel => channel.name.toLowerCase() === 'chat');
``` how do i make this code better

thanks for pointing that out
earnest phoenix
hi
rocky hearth
If the channel is a 'dm' type, it will immediately return from it.
neon heart
okay
sturdy gazelle
if (message.author.bot || (message.guild && !(message.guild && message.channel.permissionsFor(client.user.id).has("SEND_MESSAGES"))))
that should work
oh i can simplify that
rocky hearth
yes.
sturdy gazelle
if (message.author.bot || (message.guild && !(message.channel.permissionsFor(client.user.id).has("SEND_MESSAGES"))))
better
rocky hearth
theres no need to put parenthesis around && and even !, save 4 more characters 😉

i get insecure about that so i do it also so i can easilly add or remove things

i have such a try except loop
but the error randomly showed up in console
instead of executing the except block
it generally works normally but i have had this prob once before
does anyone know why thsi is happening

I dont know much about python but, doesn't it have catch keyword?

That's the code

not a tab and a tab
does that really matter tbh
i thought indentation could be of any size
earnest phoenix
even that doesn't matter, it's always good idea to have consistent indentation
earnest phoenix
the convention according to pep8 is to have 4 spaces per indentation level

Hey uh im new to developing discord bots and was wondering how do i ping a role?
pale vessel
If you have the role object, you can use role.toString() or `${role}`. Otherwise, you can use the id using <@&id>

@& ?
pale vessel
Yes

Alright, will try thanks

@strong tundra Hey, I was searching messages regarding microservice and you happen to be one of them.
Did you ever start on any?
keen drift
Ah, I was just wondering how people decide upon how many instances to run for the microservices
I have almost all the parts, but I'm not sure about the devops or orchestrating the microservices
strong tundra
id probably scale up as needed with like kubernetes or something
maybe dokku would work?
keen drift
I was going with a kubernetes approach about 2 years ago, it turns out running kubernetes alone is not fun
I'm currently wondering on how many of the http microservice I will run, the service that actually processes the event and send requests to Discord
Perhaps one is enough 
for now
keen drift
I'm going with Ansible and deploying an agent onto each machine, but that's so far only for the router layer.
cerulean pebble
Hey
100 votes = 1 USD ?
seems easy
if i have 100 accounts i can earn many hundreds usd
/month
past crypt
keen drift
K8s is too complex for my application, and the overhead is huge for instances.
Currently I'm deciding to deploy N instances across X machines, which leaves N/X instances per machine, and each machine will have an agent to deploy those instances.
Might re-use the same agent to deploy HTTP workers depending on how much load it actually gets, not sure if I'll ever scale HTTP workers across machines, since it's rather stateless, and the only thing it does is process event received by internal message bus and send http requests.

past crypt
cerulean pebble
hey some one anwser my ques
strong tundra
hm interesting
keen drift
I'm using Nats btw for my internal message queue
Coordinator, router, agent, and http worker all communicate via nats
strong tundra
idk why you'd need more than one http worker per machine though
keen drift
That's the uncertain part, could I ever get so much requests that the network I/O will be bottlenecked for one machine
keen drift
yeah I plan to have one http worker per machine if network I/O is the problem, which prob will be
strong tundra
ah yea
keen drift
I'll prob allocate VPS for the http workers, since it's just all network I/O, cpu will prob be idle
strong tundra
that seems reasonable
keen drift
welp that seems to solve most of my infrastructure problems Now to see how many instances of nats & redis I need
strong tundra
lol
tardy hornet
var secondMemberPP = await loadImage(opponent2.displayAvatarURL({format: "png"}))

keen drift
It's neat, I'm using compressed redis store
strong tundra
i should get started with darkredis i guess
keen drift
#development message was my previous discussion of my infrastructure
Since I plan to back the bot with a web interface, which means a HTTP API, cache has to be centralized with something
strong tundra
hm yeah
im looking into compression with redis and found a cool doordash engineering post
keen drift
I'm using bincode with twilight-models + flate2 for compression
keen drift
#[derive(Deserialize, Serialize)]
pub struct Guild(pub GuildModel);
impl FromRedisValue for Guild {
fn from_redis_value(v: &Value) -> RedisResult<Self> {
if let Value::Data(data) = v {
let mut decoder = ZlibDecoder::new(&data[..]);
let mut decoded = Vec::new();
decoder.read_to_end(&mut decoded).map_err(|_| {
let err: RedisError = (ErrorKind::TypeError, "Unable to decompress data").into();
err
})?;
let guild: Guild = deserialize(&decoded).map_err(|_| {
let err: RedisError = (ErrorKind::TypeError, "Unable to decode to guild").into();
err
})?;
return Ok(guild);
}
Err((ErrorKind::TypeError, "None binary data").into())
}
}
neat stuff
keen drift
I went with flate2 zlib because twilight gateway has an optional feature for utilizing that
and flate2 zlib-ng feature utilizes SIMD instructions for speed-ups
keen drift
Yeah, however I don't really have much of a test bot with numerous traffic to benchmark the compression trade-off
Here's the current coordinator + router: https://i.imgur.com/lJtz2wi.gif
strong tundra
ah
keen drift
Clusters consists of N shards, and each cluster will communicate to coordinator for shard id allocations.
From there, cluster will heartbeat on an interval, and coordinator will send shut down request to clusters if something goes wrong, allowing the agent to boot up another instance.
keen drift
Yup, an uncharted territory for sure, I'm figuring out things as I go
strong tundra
heh
keen drift
maybe I need an rubber ducky, talking to something about my problem and I somehow figure things out
strong tundra
i don't think too many people have done stuff like this
and i think the only docs i could find are on discord's own website
at least with big bot sharding
keen drift
Yeah, and I'm glad I found twilight, I was originally using serenity
just split enough for building microservice with it

nope, but you can implement your own easily, it's just the "message_reference" part when you POST a message into Discord.
