The ShardManager by default uses worker_threads. The image they showed uses worker_threads and all shards share the same memory space on different threads if there is more than one logical processor

where did you placed this code?
index.js as the tutorial said and bot.js whole script of my bot
pale vessel
lusty quest
did you placed the shard manager in a different file from your bots main file?
earnest phoenix
yes
lusty quest
ok and inside the new ShardingManager set the path to your bots main file
lament rock
I suggest looking at the source. iirc, there is no distinction from internal sharding and ShardingManager. ShardingManager uses internal sharding. The easiest way to test this is if both shards can log to the same console
solemn leaf
ok
earnest phoenix
ok and inside the new ShardingManager set the path to your bots main file

internal and via IPC is only distinct in Eris

if your bot main file is called index.js change bot.js to index.js
solemn leaf
ah ok

replace ./bot.js with the path to your bot main file
this?
lusty quest
Internal sharding is on the Same process and Sharding manager uses Worker threads.
earnest phoenix
client.shard
lusty quest
client.shard
how is your main file called?
earnest phoenix
bot.js
lusty quest
how is your sharding manager file called?
lament rock
worker_threads is within the same process. There is no "cluster" based sharding where events from all shards are forwarded to a single client to manage the cache and worker tasks.
earnest phoenix
how is your sharding manager file called?
index.js
lament rock
Also, is that Eris docs?
solemn leaf
How can I make an image transparent on canvas

I don't believe that's up to date with how discord.js manages sharding unless I missed something when I read through the ShardManager code

if you want to set a certain amount of shards pass the totalShards: "auto or number of shards" in your Sharding Manager constructor

it requires some other modification on certain stuff tho
bcs not all things are shared between the shards

Oh. I guess the default is still using worker_threads but shards having separate caches. I didn't realized there was a mode specification

earnest phoenix

lament rock
How can I make the background be transparent
creating a new Canvas(width, height) will have a transparent background by default. If you want to remove pixels from an image you're compositing onto the base layer, you'll have to use masking
You should check to make sure you're sending the file to Discord or wherever as a png since discord.js defaults to jpg
lament rock
What are you drawing onto the canvas?
solemn leaf
let invertCanvas = canvas.createCanvas(image.width, image.height);
let ctx = invertCanvas.getContext("2d");
ctx.drawImage(image, 0, 0, ctx.canvas.width, ctx.canvas.height);
ctx.globalCompositeOperation = "difference";
ctx.fillStyle = "white";
ctx.fillRect(0, 0, ctx.canvas.width, ctx.canvas.height);
its invert
lament rock
Does the input image you're drawing onto the ctx have transparency
solemn leaf
yes
pale vessel
loop through the image data, invert the color and put the new image data
lament rock
Ah. The svg should have transparency then
lament rock
Try flaze's suggestion. Perhaps it's a lower level issue when it comes to decoding SVGs
lament rock
@pale vessel ?
solemn leaf
I was gonna do buffer
lament rock
For context, I don't use node-canvas
lament rock
so I can only help so much
pale vessel
i'm not sure if it works for inverting, i only used it for recoloring the entire image
solemn leaf

If they shut you down for being too much of a noisey neighbor, you should probably not use image manipulation.

solemn leaf
@lament rock I found a good npm
pale vessel
aaa never mind
solemn leaf
I can just loop it
pale vessel
it works, but not the way you intend it to
solemn leaf
how do I make it work the way I intend it to
pale vessel
Check if the regex matched a before the first :
if so, change png to gif
you can't use ||
that makes no sense and it will never fallback to that since the first string will always be truthy
solemn leaf
I mean if the custom emoji was a gif
pale vessel
yes
lament rock
how can you exclude 0 from the loop when there are two 0 and 1 in the array
```...
If whatever is 1 or 0 is in the for loop and you want to exclude 0, you can do something similar to

ok thx
pale vessel
you can wrap the a with ()
lament rock
the same concept applies for user avatars btw, avatars which have gif formats start with a_
solemn leaf
doesnt the format for the avatar webm
lament rock
discord.js defaults to webp
solemn leaf
so I cant really do much to check if it is a gif or png
lament rock
webm is not a supported file extension for avatars
solemn leaf
ok
message.author.displayAvatarURL({
dynamic: true,
size: 1024,
format: 'png'
});
if the user has an animed pfp
lament rock
if (message.author.avatar.startsWith("a_")) // user has animated avatar
pale vessel
so something like ```js
URL = match ? https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/${match[2]}.${match[1] ? "gif" : "png"} : a || b || c;
? and : is a ternary expression.
boolean value ? code to do if boolean is true : code to do if boolean is false
solemn leaf
o
solemn leaf
okay well that helps
how do I check if its a gif
Imma use a switch to switch between gif and png
lament rock
match[1] is the result of the first capture group if the a is in the emoji. If a was not present in the string between the < and : then it will be undefined

Ok so I've been testing some code recently for a test bot I'm messing around with, and I can't seem to properly make a json file. I can get my code to read from it and write to it, but every time I want to add something to the json file it just rewrites the old json file with the new content. Here's my code: ```js
if(command == 'new') { // w!new
commandArg = message.content.indexOf(' ', 7)
commandStr = message.content.substring(6, commandArg)
commandSay = message.content.slice(commandArg+1)
var dataobj = {}
dataobj.CustomName = commandStr
dataobj.CustomPhrase = commandSay
const JSONString = JSON.stringify(dataobj, null, 2)
fs.writeFile('CustomCommands.json', JSONString, (err) => {
if (err) {
throw err
}
console.log('JSON successfully saved')
}
)
}
fs.readFile('CustomCommands.json', (err, jsonStringlocal) => {
if(err) {
throw err
}
const CustomNameCommand = JSON.parse(jsonStringlocal)
if(command == CustomNameCommand.CustomName) {
message.channel.send(\``${CustomNameCommand.CustomPhrase}````)
}
}
)
the ternary expression is for if the result of that capture group is not undefined, then its a gif
You need to assign new data to the Object you parse, then stringify the Object and write the string back to the JSON
wheat mesa
So parse the JSON and add what I need in the variables and then stringify it back into a json?
lament rock
Also, I think your code might be susceptible to race conditions if you're writing and it does properly write but the read doesn't show that new data. You might wanna use the sync methods which don't take callbacks or you put subsequent code within the callbacks
wheat mesa
So use readFileSync and writeFileSync instead
solemn leaf
so
lament rock
Yeah. That'll pause the thread until those IO ops finish
solemn leaf
if (message.author.avatar.startsWith("a_") || URL.endsWith(".gif)) {.}
slender hamlet
I'm not sure if this is practical, but you might want to consider using a database if you want to regularly read and write to and from something
Again, that's up to you
Talking to Waffle, FYI
lament rock
if (message.author.avatar.startsWith("a_") || URL.endsWith(".gif)) {.}
That would return true if the author's avatar is a gif OR if the emoji url ends with gif
solemn leaf
if (message.author.avatar.startsWith("a_") || URL.endsWith(".gif)) { type = "gif" }
snow urchin

fun fact, you don't need curly braces after if statements unless you're doing multiple lines if a condition a met

https://www.npmjs.com/package/gif-frames Can I use this to encode gifs

self.client.guilds returns a guildmanager
you could do self.client.guilds.forEach((g) => { //do stuff })

earnest phoenix
sum exists
slender hamlet
either works @solemn leaf
drifting wedge
wait why not just +?
pale vessel
you're not doing anything to memberCount
lament rock
- doesn't mutate the state of a variable
slender hamlet
let x of array gives you an x which is the item at any particular index
drifting wedge
``` memberCount = 0
for g in self.client.guilds:
...
this is good then?
solemn leaf
for (var i = 0; i < frameData.length; i++) { }
slender hamlet
ok
that should be fine
i'd recommend let instead of var in a for loop initializer
pale vessel
like cry said, you can use sum() and [g.memberCount for g in client.guilds]
i think that's the syntax
drifting wedge
this is good then?
THIS IS GOOD??!?!
slender hamlet
otherwise if you uses a var called i earlier on it can mess with it
and its generally good practice
pale vessel
``` memberCount = 0
for g in self.client.guilds:
...
No, what you're doing is evaluating memberCount, which is zero plus the guild member count
you're not modifying the variable
a one liner would be better though
slender hamlet
yeah you have to do += to actually update the value of the variable
solemn leaf
idk
drifting wedge
i did it as +=
lament rock
use const over let if you don't reassign the value of the variable. That's practically the only way to get "statically typed js". With that comes it's own performance benefits. let implies type reassertion
solemn leaf
let images = []
gifFrames({ url: URL, frames: 0 }).then(function (frameData) {
//frameData[0].getImage().pipe(fs.createWriteStream('firstframe.jpg'));
for (var i = 0; i < frameData.length; i++) {
let image = await canvas.loadImage(frameData[i]);
let invertCanvas = canvas.createCanvas(image.width, image.height);
let ctx = invertCanvas.getContext("2d");
ctx.drawImage(image, 0, 0, ctx.canvas.width, ctx.canvas.height);
ctx.globalCompositeOperation = "difference";
ctx.fillStyle = "white";
ctx.fillRect(0, 0, ctx.canvas.width, ctx.canvas.height);
images.push(ctx.canvas.toBuffer())
}
});
const can tbe cahnged
what you mean
lament rock
I know. If you don't reassign the value of a const, use it over let
slender hamlet
use const over let if you don't reassign the value of the variable. That's pract...
yeah, when iterating with of, you should do const xyz not let xyz, my bad
obv with i = 0; i++; you're modifying i so that will be let
lament rock
getting as close as possible to statically typed is good
solemn leaf
wait
do I just remove the await
let image = await canvas.loadImage(frameData[i]);
^^^^^
SyntaxError: await is only valid in async function

I would have use arrow functions, personally, but we all have our own styles
lament rock
thats fine
arrow functions are es6. If a lib supports node versions earlier than when arrow functions were added, they would have to use that
pale vessel
are you going to loop through the frames and use gifencoder
lament rock
Passing it an Array of all the frames can cause the heap to run out of free space depending on the size of the gif
slender hamlet
basically all that's different is that instead of it being function (abc) {} it would be (abc) => {}
regarding arrow functions
pale vessel
you can't access this in anonymous functions

you would get the current timestamp and convert it to a number

using gif encoder 1 🤔
solemn leaf
?
solemn latch
gifencoder 2 is so much better
solemn leaf
what
solemn latch
gifencoder is slow
gifencoder 2 can be several times faster
also, looks like your foreach is async, which means its not running until after you do encoder.finish
misty sigil
make foreach sync
solemn leaf
what im confused
earnest phoenix
for best performance you can also avoid forEach and do a normal for loop
quartz kindle
still a bad idea
does the gif encoder know which frame is supposed to go where? do frames have indexes or something?
quartz kindle
or does it just push frames like you would push items into an array?
solemn leaf
1 sec
solemn latch
you push frames
solemn leaf
frameData[x].frameIndex
quartz kindle
because if you push frames, you have to do it sequentially
doing it concurrently will not guarantee frame order
async forEach is concurrent, not sequential
Promise.all() is also concurrent
solemn leaf
I needed async for the await
solemn leaf
how should I do the loop
I was doing this
but I didnt think it worked
for (var i = 0; i < frameData[i].getImage().data_length; i++) {
quartz kindle
isnt that for getting frames? not for adding them?
quartz kindle
Pure JavaScript tool for extracting GIF frames and saving to file
thats only for reading gifs, not creating them
solemn latch
yeah hes using gif-encoder
solemn leaf
that is why I have the encoder
solemn latch
why does promise.all not work for loading the images?
quartz kindle
so you're reading from one gif and enconding it in another? like a gif transformer
there is a way to do it concurrently
solemn leaf
yes
quartz kindle
but you need to change your code a bit
quartz kindle
you can use an async map
with Promise.all()
but you cant use encoder.add() inside it
you have to use encoder.add() in the end, after all frames are done
solemn leaf
ok
solemn latch
yeah, all editing and adding of frames after loading them with promise all.
solemn leaf
what
quartz kindle
promises = frames.map(async frame => {
// do async transformation here
});
transformed = await Promise.all(promises);
transformed.forEach(frame => {
encoder.addFrame(frame)
});
frames is whatever you get your frames from
solemn leaf
frameData
quartz kindle
frameData
solemn leaf
so I could put the canvas stuff in there?
quartz kindle
let me look at your code again
solemn leaf
promises = frameData.map(async frame => {
// do async transformation here
let image = await canvas.loadImage(frame.getImage());
let invertCanvas = canvas.createCanvas(image.width, image.height);
let ctx = invertCanvas.getContext("2d");
ctx.drawImage(image, 0, 0, ctx.canvas.width, ctx.canvas.height);
ctx.globalCompositeOperation = "difference";
ctx.globalAlpha = 1.0;
ctx.fillStyle = "white";
ctx.fillRect(0, 0, ctx.canvas.width, ctx.canvas.height);
});
transformed = await Promise.all(promises);
transformed.forEach(frame => {
encoder.addFrame(frame)
});

quartz kindle
dont forget the consts and lets

solemn leaf

solemn leaf
return ctx;
quartz kindle
so the variable promises is an array of promises that return ctx
[Promise<ctx>,Promise<ctx>,Promise<ctx>] etc
solemn leaf
then encoder.finished() before I buffer it
quartz kindle
then you can await all of them at once with await Promise.all()
that will give you an array of results, like this [ctx,ctx,ctx]
so then you can forEach them and addFrame(ctx)
solemn leaf
you called it frame
quartz kindle
for simplicity
solemn leaf
should I change it to ctx
solemn leaf
ikay
solemn leaf
gifFrames({ url: URL, frames: "all", outputType: "png" }).then(async function (frameData) {
console.log(frameData[0].frameInfo)
const encoder = new GIFEncoder(frameData[0].frameInfo.width, frameData[0].frameInfo.height);
encoder.start();
encoder.setRepeat(0); // 0 for repeat -1 no-repeat
encoder.setDelay(frameData[0].frameInfo.delay); // frame delay ms
const promises = frameData.map(async frame => {
// do async transformation here
let image = await canvas.loadImage(frame.getImage());
let invertCanvas = canvas.createCanvas(image.width, image.height);
let ctx = invertCanvas.getContext("2d");
ctx.drawImage(image, 0, 0, ctx.canvas.width, ctx.canvas.height);
ctx.globalCompositeOperation = "difference";
ctx.globalAlpha = 1.0;
ctx.fillStyle = "white";
ctx.fillRect(0, 0, ctx.canvas.width, ctx.canvas.height);
return ctx;
});
const transformed = await Promise.all(promises);
transformed.forEach(ctx => {
encoder.addFrame(ctx)
});
const buf = encoder.out.getData();
const buf = encoder.out.getData();
then I can send the buffer in an attachment

How to make a dashboard for my bot?

Well I'd just set the number as the client attribute, so there's another whole command that send the number attribute. That way you don't send it in every loop

client.number = 0
while True:
client.number += 1
# sleep

await ctx.send(client.number)

Do a for loop and add the ids to an array.
solemn latch
Do a `for` loop and add the ids to an array.
probably better to just map them rather than looping
earnest phoenix
i just wanna know how i can make it so the user can choose what the variable number is so they can start off on a number other than 0, because if the bot goes down its just gonna start from 0 again
Have you looked at the link I sent? There's example there
silver lintel
probably better to just map them rather than looping
how would i map it?
that.map(i => i.id)?

silver lintel

send what you've got

await channel.send('Hello {.author}!'.format(msg))
oh god
this is my pathetic attempt
why do you copy the whole thing
solemn leaf
god appears* "yes?"
earnest phoenix
you just need the check and the wait_for
oh
for instance, if you only want it to wait for your message, you can do something like
def check(m):
return m.content.isdigit() and m.author.id == your_id # could be m.author == ctx.author if you want it to wait for the message from whoever invoked the command
msg = await client.wait_for('message', check=check)
number = int(msg.content) # cast it to int since it returns Message object and the content attribute is str
thanks
solemn latch
uhh so is it possible?
well, if you use fetch, youd have to fetch from each guild, which if you have 100 guilds with your bot, thats 100 api requests. https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/GuildMemberManager?scrollTo=fetch which easily becomes api abuse.
solemn latch
your best bet is using oauth iirc.
silver lintel
whats oauth
solemn latch
its a way for your bot to make user specific api requests, such as all their guilds.
silver lintel
Is it this? https://discordjs.guide/oauth2/#a-quick-example
earnest phoenix
my brain hurts from this

its generally a bad idea making a bot in a language you dont know
discord bots are not really the best first or first few projects.

That's like writing a book in a language you don't understand. It's better to start with the basics or you're gonna mess a lot of things up.
It might work, but you're probably not gonna understand why lol

earnest phoenix
so by doing get(message.guild.roles, id=id) you're getting an element from the list which has given attribute
but that's redundant as you can just do, message.guild.get_role(id). This is faster as getting a value from a dict is faster than iterating and finding an element in a list

its kinda hard to tell whats going on, but it could be placing the images at a height outside the height of the canvas
