I were answering this
restive notch
Is there any way to lower ping to discord servers in my bots code?
earnest phoenix
no
restive notch
Darn
earnest phoenix
get a server close to either NYC or san francisco
the api servers are located there, it can significantly reduce latency
restive notch
I use physical servers and I live a while away from there I would but I can't sadly
earnest phoenix
oof
restive notch
Is there anyway to use some sort of CDN possibly?
earnest phoenix
for what 🤔
restive notch
Yeah good, point it's a stupid question
earnest phoenix
i mean if you absolutely don't have any other option, you could go through your code and optimize every nook and cranny
restive notch
I could
earnest phoenix
for example if you have any database calls, consider caching etc
restive notch
I don't have any database calls in my bot it's all local
earnest phoenix
ah
restive notch
And most of my code is already optimized for the most part
I'm using command handlers I'm using the least amount of code I NEED and I still need to make it so if you do E! Instead of e! It would work it doesn't do that yet
lunar sequoia
What is your ping? I wouldn't bother if the ping is anywhere around ~100
lunar sequoia
That's more than enough. I wouldn't be too worried about it.
restive notch
But I can do more
lunar sequoia
You can but, I don't see a reason you want to reduce it even further. Do you have a specific purpose for low response time commands/interactions?
restive notch
Not really, now that I see it I'm trying to optimize it like I would a website or something like that
Yeah I guess 59 MS is ok
jade wedge
any of yall thinking of developing a new Rainbow Bot
drifting wedge
My bots latency is always like 100
But I don't get why
My servers are in states island
And when I heroku'd it it was like 20
Same code
earnest phoenix
yep I tried other hosts too its was about 100 ms.. On heroku i get about 20 - 14
earnest phoenix
Maybe cuz their servers are close to the gateway or they have good bandwidth

I doubt it
My heroku was in Virginia
And my current one is galaxygate in New York

because it can be a DM channel, so they would not add the guild property in the properties list, but you'll see that if you add console.log(channel.guild) (if the channel is in a guild) then it will work

why do people with big bots not publically talk about/document what they do, implementation wise to scale their bots?
for example, its not as easy as just "i scale by adding more vps's"... theres code and infrastructure design that goes into making that possible.
I'm thinking of sharing what i've done, anyone interested in it if i do?
a lot of it if written generically works for any programming language

Mee6 made it public atleast what they do

Yes I am interested
tight plinth
not from the code
lusty quest
supple oriole
how do I fix that
green kestrel
i'm somewhere in the middle between 'small' and 'big' imho
green kestrel
because im not yet at the point where discord give better ways to scale shards up and down without restarting clusters
not till i get to like 200k servers
tight plinth
if you know how to setup dbl web hook u know how to setup ll node
lusty quest
well Kubernetis makes it super easy to scale
supple oriole
Im just using their example bruh ;-;
supple oriole
if you know how to setup dbl web hook u know how to setup ll node
I dont
lusty quest
if you need more horsepower add another worker node
green kestrel
you still have to code for that
lusty quest
yea thats sadly the issue
green kestrel
you cant just dump any old bot in a kubernetes and have it scale
thats the bit people dont share
lusty quest
but you can automate kubernetis so its possible
but i guess they wont make the scaling part public bcs its probably annoying to make or they dont want give everyone an easy way to compete
green kestrel
knowing how to scale doesnt give you any competitive advantage
supple oriole
how to setup ll node :cri:
green kestrel
you gotta get the users to invite your bot first to need it
lusty quest
well idk there is probably a stupid reason
the article contains some code snippets in how they scale
green kestrel
see the problem i see with discord is...
imagine i have a bot with 32 shards yes
and i have to scale up to 48 or 64
i cant just 'add 32 shards'
ALL the shards must be restarted together
because adding more shards shuffles around what servers belong on which shards
lusty quest
cant you make a rolling update with Kubernetis?
green kestrel
as its like guild_id >> 11 % shard count
and im sure that for huge bots, they do it in a way that doesnt need the total restart to scale up or down, but this is something discord are keeping tight lipped on
rolling update or not, adding extra shards means an update of every cluster, yes?
because each server then belongs on a different shard id and all shards must reconnect to establish what servers are on them and tell discord how many shards total ther are
the identify message says 'im shard X of Y', and Y has changed, so every instance needs to redo that
earnest phoenix
i'm certain that behind the scenes the monopoly bots like mee6 and dyno have dumpster fires
tight sand
does anyone know a good place to host a bot ?
earnest phoenix
check out pins
tight sand
thanks
lusty quest
cant you just force a shard id? (never did sharding so idk)
quartz kindle
you cant assign guilds to shard ids
quartz kindle
the only possible way to do seamless rolling update would be to tell old shards to disable specific guilds when a new shards connects
for example, new shard 0 connects, broadcast all its guild ids to all old shards, old shards flip switch to ignore all messages coming from those guilds
repeat for every new shard
once an old shard has disabled all its guilds, kill it
green kestrel
yeah

do anyone have any bots that track how many people they have invited to the server. and you can make it so it automatically gives you somthing when you get a certain amount of invites???

That seems pretty easy actually
I have made myself an invite manager bot
I can put something like

}
its not nearly as easy as it could be if discord actually provided invite information in the memberAdd event
late kraken
jeez my respect for yall and this programming thing has increased lol v clever
carmine summit
the inviter will get the role
late kraken
wait so you can do the thing i asked

ye but to increase that number you have to fetchInvites again every time someone joins
which is a pain

await invites.forEach(i => {

}
guildInvites.push(obj)
})
db.set(`${guild.id}.invites.${guild.id}`, guildInvites)
}

NewEmbed will get your OldEmbed's properties.
May be a better way to do it, I'm not sure but this work just fine
gentle lynx
If i enable fetchMembers how long will the bot take to turn on?
I have tried it on my testing bot which is in 3 servers and its taking a long time to turn on
So I was wondering it its even worth it to put it in my main bot
If
lunar sequoia
That isn't suggested to have enabled at all. What is your use case for having all members fetched at startup?
gentle lynx
to get all members
loud ingot
what should i put here
gentle lynx
For example in client.users.cache
Itd be better if it has access to all members
Instead of the cached ones
lunar sequoia
Having the fetchAllMembers client option is really bad for your cache memory since as your bot grows, the amount of ram consumed keeps increasing. This is not recommended for larger bots.
However, to answer your first question, yes, the login times do increase but, how long it would take before it fires the ready event is completely dependent on how many members that the bot had to cache.
carmine summit
How do I get the name of an id of a role?
gentle lynx
Well how before, you could turn on your bot just as fast as now and still be able to get all members?
lunar sequoia
How do I get the name of an id of a role?
You have to get the role from cache and then access the name property on it.
carmine summit
guild.roles.fetch()
then how do I get the data
let roles = await guild.roles.fetch()
roles.get()
```?I'm not sure I quite understand this statement.
astral yoke
thank you @valid grotto
valid grotto
thank you <@!760826345965617192>
No problem, works fine?
earnest phoenix
Server vanity url?
carmine summit
dbl
astral yoke
Yeah, I added a title part which changes the title, works perfect, exactly what I wanted @valid grotto
lunar sequoia
```
let roles = await guild.roles.fetch()
roles.get()
```?
You provide the role id in the fetch()
carmine summit
i mean
I have to do it multiple times
it will lag the bot
I have an array of which roles to collect
its better to cache it then run .get() multiple times, rather than running .fetch() multiple times
lunar sequoia
Once you fetch the roles, you can get the desired role by doing <RoleManager>.cache.get('ROLE_ID')
carmine summit
let roles = await guild.roles.fetch()
roleArray.forEach(r => roles.cache.get(r).name)
correct me if im wrong
ok now
valid grotto
You're trying to get the name?
lunar sequoia
Ah yes now
carmine summit
right
lunar sequoia
Do r.id
carmine summit
roleArray is an array that consist of multiple role ids
lunar sequoia
Also, you should be doing something with the name since right now, you're not storing those names anywhere
lunar sequoia
That means that the role list does not have the role id that you were searching for.
carmine summit
ok

async def on_message(message):

what would i use
instead of message.content
for just the message

because if it's in the content then you can do like p!battle @(bot) and the bot would send it
like
if its in the content
it would send if it's included
i want it to be
just the ping
crimson vapor
does py have a built in mentions
slender thistle
You can do if client.user.mention in message.content
crimson vapor
like how djs you can do message.mentions
slender thistle
or iirc user.mentioned_in exists too
dusky mason
but how would i make it
so it only responds when ONLY the ping
not the ping and some word
crimson vapor
would message.content not be p!battle @(bot)
dusky mason
because if i mention my bot
it would send that message
when you ping it

i want it to send the "welcome" message when its pinged individually
slender thistle
Try it

slender thistle
Well the issue is Discord for some unknown to Zeus reasons has two types of mentions

does someone know how can I build a standalone c++ executable? (CLion/MinGW)

if f"<@{client.user.id}>" == message.content or f"<@!{client.user.id}>" == message.content:
so that?
hollow sedge
Yes
slender thistle
inb4 message.content.lower() KEKW
lyric mountain
.lower() is kinda unnecessary there tho
dusky mason
yeah since it's a ping
crystal sedge
yeah, it's just a mention
thick gull
@thick gull
lyric mountain
theorethically there are lower/upper versions of numbers
hollow sedge
I think he was just saying that mentions are really finicky

.lower() is kinda unnecessary there tho
for once in a lifetime, I'm doing this

not a wooosh at all tho
