[lament rock]

A guild owner can have roles assigned to them so long as the client has permissions to manage a member's role and the role isn't higher or equal to their highest

[glacial pagoda]

WHAT IS THIS MADNESS, I Even Gave The Bot Owner Roles

With All The Perms

oop wrong command

wait

There

[earnest phoenix]

hey @glacial pagoda ur give role thing for trying ban cmd dont work correctly

if you share your bot than it will crash

the id for the role is channel specific

[glacial pagoda]

I Know @earnest phoenix

But look at the error

[earnest phoenix]

...

whatever

[gritty bolt]

This file exists and I get this when I do node index.js

any ideas as to what could be making this happen?

[earnest phoenix]

did u move the folder off your desktop?

[gritty bolt]

nope

its right there

[earnest phoenix]

loader.js:880:15

why are you passing discord through args instead of importing/requiring @glacial pagoda

check that line and that char

[gritty bolt]

wheres that?

[earnest phoenix]

wait...

u didnt delete index.js right?

[gritty bolt]

no

[earnest phoenix]

or rename it?

[gritty bolt]

right there

[earnest phoenix]

why is it in a foler called remind me?

[solemn latch]

https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/GuildMember?scrollTo=bannable should be checked either way tbh.

[earnest phoenix]

is that the bot name?

[gritty bolt]

bot folder

yes

[glacial pagoda]

I Switched the if and else

It Might Work?

[earnest phoenix]

cc

[earnest phoenix]

u can keep the role thing by adding a const and making it get guild cache and looking for the role name

[glacial pagoda]

I Dont Know Importing/requiring

[earnest phoenix]

just be sure to catch it in case it cant find it in someone elses server

[glacial pagoda]

But I Dont want to specify the role

all member roles are diff

[gritty bolt]

i literally

like

do I need to reinstall node?

[solemn latch]

he was posting the role command, but it seems he was talking about his ban command.

[earnest phoenix]

ohhhhhhhhhhh

ok

@glacial pagoda

[glacial pagoda]

AHHHHHHHH

[earnest phoenix]

u could try som like that

[glacial pagoda]

Im Not Doing Mute roles

its ban

[earnest phoenix]

no shit

im saying switch it

just nvm

[glacial pagoda]

Why

[earnest phoenix]

also

its

messageEmbed

uncap the M

[glacial pagoda]

...

[earnest phoenix]

it cant read MessageEmbed

only messageEmbed

nvm

[glacial pagoda]

but for the rest of my commands, they use Cap M and work

im trying your way

[earnest phoenix]

on index.js

did u pass Discord

[glacial pagoda]

yes

[earnest phoenix]

like that?

[mellow kelp]

why are you passing Discord on the arguments

[glacial pagoda]

0-0

[earnest phoenix]

why do u have a {

use ;

[glacial pagoda]

codeblock

[solemn latch]

thats a function, needs the {

[glacial pagoda]

thats my main.js

command handler

@earnest phoenix

i have a huge list

[solemn latch]

why is that screenshot diffrent

than the one above

[glacial pagoda]

which

[glacial pagoda]

this

[solemn latch]

https://i.imgur.com/lhOfeZD.png

[glacial pagoda]

Thats the ban in my command handler

[solemn latch]

yeah

[earnest phoenix]

thats mine

[solemn latch]

oh

[glacial pagoda]

0-0

[solemn latch]

what?

you both have the same command list?

[glacial pagoda]

ban

[misty sigil]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[solemn latch]

you have ban listed twice

[glacial pagoda]

yeah ik

[solemn latch]

https://i.imgur.com/lhOfeZD.png

[misty sigil]

and you're passing discord

please

[glacial pagoda]

to specify

and to get

[misty sigil]

you should

1. make the handler dynamic
2. don't pass discord - require it in the file

[glacial pagoda]

why not, the embed needs discord

[misty sigil]

you require it

in the file

[glacial pagoda]

i have to

[misty sigil]

no you don't

[solemn latch]

we suggested it four times now alex, dont think suggesting it again will help.

[glacial pagoda]

ima try

[mellow kelp]

you can just require Discord at the top of the file

that's what literally everyone does

[misty sigil]

and make a dynamic handler

[mellow kelp]

yea actually more importantly this

[glacial pagoda]

TAHTS WHAT IM DOING

[opal plank]

oh, my, lord

dude

[glacial pagoda]

But yall say dont

[opal plank]

dynamic pls

[misty sigil]

@opal plank my reaction

[glacial pagoda]

Confusing me

[mellow kelp]

im getting yanderedev vibes

[glacial pagoda]

lol

[misty sigil]

right fucking there

[glacial pagoda]

@misty sigil

[opal plank]

@glacial pagoda PLEASE READ THIS https://discordjs.guide/command-handling/

[glacial pagoda]

@misty sigil

ok

[opal plank]

double tag, spicy

[glacial pagoda]

IM USING A HANDLER

[misty sigil]

heres my list of ways to handle commands, ranked from worst to best

1. dynamic command handler
   1.5) a framework, such as commando
2. hard coded command handler
3. else if chain in a message event
4. multiple ifs in a message event
5. multiple message events

[opal plank]

YOU AINT

[misty sigil]

@glacial pagoda no you arent

you're just using else if chain in a message event

[opal plank]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/272764566411149314/799078672115826688/unknown.png

[misty sigil]

basically

[opal plank]

this clearly isnt a handler

[misty sigil]

UDHWAIUFH WAWWHD

[opal plank]

this is a massive if chain

[misty sigil]

qADdjipfaow

[opal plank]

thats not a handler

[misty sigil]

do you have the intetn

[opal plank]

thats just multiple files

[mellow kelp]

yandere dev is proud of you

[glacial pagoda]

command == 'command' is to specify filw

[solemn latch]

burn and a half

[opal plank]

thats not a handler

[glacial pagoda]

and get is to get the command

YES IT IS

[opal plank]

i told you to read it, you only read the first part with the example

[misty sigil]

https://matt-the-scottish-twat.cc/u/zRIcvpngEF

THIS

THIS IS A COMMAND HANDLER

[opal plank]

IT ISNT

[glacial pagoda]

0-0

[opal plank]

A DAYNAMIC

[mellow kelp]

thats the first part

[opal plank]

COMMAND

HANDLER

https://discordjs.guide/command-handling/#dynamically-reading-command-files

this is the second part

[solemn latch]

thats a command loader

[misty sigil]

ok fair enough

[opal plank]

which i told you to read

[earnest phoenix]

bro wtf

[misty sigil]

https://matt-the-scottish-twat.cc/u/fYzegQGAqs this'll do

[opal plank]

you stopped reading half way through dude

[misty sigil]

cba copypasting

[opal plank]

https://discordjs.guide/command-handling/dynamic-commands.html#dynamically-executing-commands

[earnest phoenix]

just type Require = Discord;

at the top

[earnest phoenix]

its that easy

[opal plank]

fam, can you bother reading what im sending?

[misty sigil]

no aaron

thats not a command handler

thats a fucking else if chain

[glacial pagoda]

im just trying to fix my error ;-;

[misty sigil]

@earnest phoenix can i see your client intents

Let me write a command handler

ffs

[mellow kelp]

an actual command handler checks if there's a command with a certain name in the client

and executes it if so

[opal plank]

or does 300iq like me

[mellow kelp]

dynamically

[opal plank]

try/catch

[glacial pagoda]

i have to pass discord

[opal plank]

you dont

[misty sigil]

const command = args.shift().toLowerCase()
const cmd = client.commands.get(command)
if (!cmd) return;
cmd.execute(message, args)

THEN DEFINE IT AT THE TOP

[mellow kelp]

you just have to require again

[opal plank]

you dont need to re-use discord in your code, i assure you

[mellow kelp]

well, first of all

LEARN JS

[opal plank]

they dont even need it, they're likely using it for an embed

which is already bad

embed builder is trash

[misty sigil]

i need to rework my code

like entirely

to remove embed builder n shit

[opal plank]

second you just declaring useless stuff taht you wont even need

[misty sigil]

why am i being asked something

wITHOUT CONTEXT

[earnest phoenix]

~~while you're at it don't use node in the first place ~~

[misty sigil]

yea ok

sure

[opal plank]

node gud

[misty sigil]

i'll use deno instead

[opal plank]

dunno bout deno though

[solemn latch]

sometimes i think this channel is too aggressive about this stuff.

[earnest phoenix]

node is awesome LMAO

[misty sigil]

node isn't the best

as far as things go

[mellow kelp]

deno might become awesome

[earnest phoenix]

node is good for many things, not all

[opal plank]

never said it was the best, but sure is the handiest

[misty sigil]

yea you're right

it works and it works relatively well lol

[opal plank]

everything thus far has been made in node, if you got a problem, you got a solution already somewhere

[misty sigil]

whats the actual fucking error

[earnest phoenix]

every language has its pros and cons

node targets easy programming and scalability, super good UI building tools and more
compare that to something like java and .net where performance is the target but the languages suck ass for building UIs

[misty sigil]

what are php's pros

[opal plank]

also, i just recently learned that node 15 finally crashing the process on unhandled rejections

[earnest phoenix]

easy web vuln

[misty sigil]

[opal plank]

anyone using node 15, better have good code

[misty sigil]

finally

[misty sigil]

try, and catch.

[earnest phoenix]

yup, electron builder now crashes the whole npm i operation lmfao

[misty sigil]

remove the intent then?

[opal plank]

wraper your whole index in a try/catch

ezpz

actually, better yet

[misty sigil]

wrap everything

[opal plank]

yeah, that work

[earnest phoenix]

node 15 is awesome, especially because of native AbortController support

finally a native way to cancel promises

[opal plank]

i havent been playing with node 15 yet, so im not sure

[misty sigil]

i've stuck with node 14 lts

[opal plank]

i have it running locally, but prod is 14.8 iirc

[misty sigil]

14.15 on my home server

??

[gritty bolt]

ok is there like a place i can go where someone will look over an entire file and help me figure out why th it isnt working

this code i made is legit a nightmare

[misty sigil]

if you tell us the error

yes

[gritty bolt]

you see the problem is, theres no error

[misty sigil]

ok

[gritty bolt]

MongooseError: Operation `messagereminders.find()` buffering timed out after 10000ms```
this is the closest I've gotten to an error in days

but I don't have anything saying messagereminders.find()

[misty sigil]

ok so it doesn't work but no error?

[gritty bolt]

essentially

thats all that happens and I couldn't tell you where its coming from

i know it's somewhere in this code

//Remind User Function
async function remindUser(bot) {
    try {
        let reminderEmbed = new discord.MessageEmbed()
                .setTitle(data.messageLink)
                .setDescription("You asked me to remind you at this time of the message linked above. Click the link to view the message. If the link does not work, the message may have been deleted or you do not have access to it anymore.")
                .setColor("#FF0000");
                await data.user.send(reminderEmbed)
                data.remove();
    } catch (err) {
        console.log(err);
    }
    }```
```js
//Node-Scheduler Function
nodeSchedule: async function scheduler(bot) {
try {
    (await messageReminderModel.find({})).forEach(data => {
        let currentUnix = Date.now()
        if(data.time <= currentUnix) core.remindUser()
        schedule.scheduleJob(data.time, remindUser);
    console.log("Scheduled a reminder.");
});
} catch (err) {
    console.log(err);
}
}
}

otherwise i've been trying for days and haven't gotten anywhere

[solemn latch]

i cant remember how mongoose/mongo index's stuff

is your database/table properly indexed?

[gritty bolt]

im not sure

i think so

it goes in fine

I just can't sift through it, and dm a user

[misty sigil]

i actually use the _id key in mongo

[solemn latch]

indexing is specifically searching

[misty sigil]

messageReminderModel.find({})
``` is this not messagereminders.find()?

[gritty bolt]

heres an example document

that is

actually

thats it

[solemn latch]

click on "indexs"

[misty sigil]

i see your problem

you are storing a user mention

[solemn latch]

nvm then :p

[misty sigil]

and trying to .send on a string

store a user ID

and get it from cache / fetch it

[gritty bolt]

okay

[misty sigil]

..............................................

[gritty bolt]

oh wait

oh

oh

oh

oh

just

pretend I didnt

okay I will attempt that and come back

otherwise does everything else look good?

[misty sigil]

yea

[mental willow]

ok so i am trying to get the bot to update the game of which it is playing

function pingForPlayers() {

    // Ping API for server data.
    axios.get(`https://api.mcsrvstat.us/1/${process.env.MC_SERVER_IP}`).then(res => {
        // If we got a valid response
        if(res.data && res.data.players) {
            let playerCount = res.data.players.online || 0 // Default to zero
            client.user.setPresence({
                game: {
                    // Example: "Watching 5 players on server.com"
                    name: `${playerCount} player${playerCount > 1 ? 's' : ''} on ${process.env.MC_SERVER_IP}`,
                    type: 3 // Use activity type 3 which is "Watching"
                }
            })
            console.log('Updated player count to', playerCount)
        }
        else
            console.log('Could not load player count data for', process.env.MC_SERVER)

    }).catch(err => console.log('Error pinging api.mcsrvstat.us for data:', err))
}
``` Now the bot is loging the correct player cound just not updating the game. Please @ or reply to me if you can help (so i see the ping) i dont have much experience with discord.js (i normally work with py)

[gritty bolt]

@misty sigil ok i think im actually unclear on how to do what you're talking about

i just tried and i dont think I did it right

[misty sigil]

store message.author.id

[gritty bolt]

but I cant just send it to the id

after that

[misty sigil]

get user by await client.users.fetch(id) / client.users.cache.get(id)
then send by doing <User>.send()

[gritty bolt]

and how do I get the id of the user who reacted to a message again?

is it just reaction.user.id?

[misty sigil]

yea

[gritty bolt]

TypeError: Cannot read property 'id' of undefined
    at Client.<anonymous> (C:\Users\Sam\RemindMe\RemindMe\core.js:23:42)
    at processTicksAndRejections (internal/process/task_queues.js:93:5)```

    bot.on('messageReactionAdd', async (reaction, user) => {
    if(reaction.emoji.name === "⏰") {
        let errorEmbed = new discord.MessageEmbed()
        .setTitle("An error has occured. It has been reported to the development team for further review.")
        .setColor("#FF0000");
        const messageLink = reaction.message.messageLink
        await user;
        const userObject = reaction.user.id```

@misty sigil

i probably did something stupid

[earnest phoenix]

fetch the user

[mellow kelp]

reaction doesn't have a user property

[earnest phoenix]

oh

does it not?

[mellow kelp]

you already have a user variable

[mellow kelp]

in the function arguments

[mellow kelp]

nope, im pretty sure its a collection of users or something i think

[earnest phoenix]

oh

yeah

just checked the docs

[gritty bolt]

oh

[earnest phoenix]

well

have you read the error

so where's the problem

also don't copypaste code

[solemn latch]

https://blog.codeanalogies.com/2019/12/22/async-await-explained-by-doing-your-morning-routine/

[earnest phoenix]

http://letmegooglethat.com/?q=await is only valid in async function

[gritty bolt]

still wont work

no error this time

those functions are only running after a reminder is set

like node-schedule isn't working at all

@misty sigil if you'd still be willing to help me I've got the whole file (https://pastebin.com/s0eZjq86) pretty much I can't figure out how to be able to use my functions in my module.exports in the same file, and why it's only scheduling reminders when someone creates a new one

[gilded olive]

yarn add -D @types/node typescript can I do this with NPM

as yarn seems to die on me

[earnest phoenix]

Heyo

Can someone help me with a lil something?

Hey I'm trying to use a mongodb currency system but I'm trying to make it that if you own a certain amount of money a type of emoji will pop up that will indicate levels of prosperity. Gold, silver, etc.. the only problem i have is using ranging values. It would look something like this

if(eco.coins <= 100 to 500)

Obviously this is non working code but I would like something like that instead of having to type every number in between

[boreal iron]

X >= 100 && X <= 500

Just put more than 1 condition in your statement

[lament rock]

This might be a bit of an advanced topic I don't necessarily expect an answer to, but I am attempting to learn general application scaling. I now find it necessary to rethink how I store Objects sent by Discord. My current implementation is storing some data in memory such as guilds and voice states as those are volatile and are re-sent on READY anyways. The rest is stored in a single Redis instance which I interface transactions beyond GET, SET and DEL commands such as filtering in a cache worker located on the same machine as the Redis instance.

My current implementation isn't exactly as efficient as I'd like it to be since making some complex transactions involving accessing both memory and Redis across client clusters can add quite a bit of overhead. Currently, it takes about a minute for a client in 3k guilds to respond to an OP requesting the guilds a user is in solely based on which guild sub index they get cached in. I know there is a better way to receive user guilds which I will implement, but it just serves as an example.

Another issue is that whenever the client establishes a websocket connection to discord, the amount of data sent after the READY event such as GUILD_CREATEs causes the Redis instance to be starved for resources. I imagine it would be beneficial to batch SET queries to reduce the volume of inbound request processing but IDK.

My main question would be what exactly should I be doing to properly scale based on my needs? Currently, it is necessary that I am able to filter over Users/GuildMembers by ID, name as possibly tag/nickname (ID is included because it comes from acceptance of arbitrary input. I could possibly attempt to see if the input is a key which is indexed before issuing a filter OP, but that may add some overhead). It is also necessary to be able to filter over channels under a specific guild by name or ID for the same reasons highlighted above.

Is there a specific db I should be using? etc...

[odd stratus]

Is there a specific db I should be using? etc...
PostgreSQL is a pretty good Database

[sterile lantern]

how come this doesn’t work

it says it’s an unknown slash cmd

or api I forgot the error

[summer dust]

guys my bot just stopped streaming audio to discord when ran in its usual host

when ran on an alternative host i do have or on my own computer, it works fine

any clue what's happening? ip ban?

[gilded olive]

Sounds like it

What error do you get when you try to stream audio?

[summer dust]

nothing

absolutely nothing

the code works as expected, and ran on other machines it streams audio

[sterile lantern]

you’re sending web requests for it right

[summer dust]

but not in its usual host

[summer dust]

using discord.js, at the backend they are web requests so yeah

[sterile lantern]

it’s possible you’re being ratelimited or possibly had your ip banned

try .catch

and see if it catches the error

[gilded olive]

Yeaa rate limited or ip ban

[summer dust]

i have try catchs

[gilded olive]

Pray its rate limit

[summer dust]

and catch all promises

and nothing appears

damn it should display a rate error

[sterile lantern]

You have an interval set?

[summer dust]

i think its an ip ban

[gilded olive]

Try a simple request right now

See what happens

[summer dust]

what do you mean by a simple request

the bot logs in well and works fine

the only problem is streaming audio

[gilded olive]

Welp

Ip ban

[summer dust]

yeah, i suppose

thanks discord

i'll have to change its ip

and contact discord

for some help or an explanation

at least an explanation

[gilded olive]

I mean its from youtube yes?

[summer dust]

yeah i take audio from youtube

[gilded olive]

From my knowledge

Youtube is in full right to ip ban you for that

[summer dust]

oh, youtube?

then its not discord... mmmm

yeah, i didnt think about that

gonna try a curl request to youtube

[earnest phoenix]

you need to implement ip proxying

aka ip shuffling

youtube became super strict about scraping data

[gilded olive]

Yea its not discord

They dont give a shit

[mellow kelp]

wait is it possible to scrape youtube audio

gasp

[summer dust]

thanks, you are pretty useful

[earnest phoenix]

well yeah

using the unofficial public api

that's how youtube-dl works

[gilded olive]

Does anyone know why my yarn installation is fucked

[summer dust]

yeah, ytdl

[gilded olive]

It says yarn isnt found when I just set it up

Reinstalled it bless rng

[mellow kelp]

try restarting the shell

[gilded olive]

It works in powershell

[mellow kelp]

maybe check if yarn is on the path env variable

[gilded olive]

But bash or cmd? ❌

[gilded olive]

How

[mellow kelp]

check your path variable

you on bash right?

[gilded olive]

Rn yea

[mellow kelp]

just echo $PATH

[gilded olive]

I can see yarn

AppData/Local/Yarn/bin

[summer dust]

getting a 204 http status code when using curl -I https://www.youtube.com/

not a 200

mmmm

[mellow kelp]

gasp

idk what else to try then

[summer dust]

and getting a 200 when using curl on another host

fucking youtube

got ip banned

[gilded olive]

Im trying

yarn --version right

[mellow kelp]

yea

or just yarn -v

[gilded olive]

Well thats nice

YES

Its working

Thanku elcholo

(Your name is interesting)

[mellow kelp]

hm yes

[odd stratus]

@summer dust Use a proxy or cookies in your ytdl code or enable a VPN

Using cookies can reduce you getting banned and a VPN can also help

I use a /48 IP block for my Lavalink code but for ytdl you gotta choose one of those 3 in order to prevent it

[slim void]

What does this mean?

Running my bot on a hostfor the first time.. never seen this?

What is the discord.py startup cmd

[summer dust]

how can you use cookies with ytdl for nodejs?

do you know?

[odd stratus]

Yes, I can give you an example but I need to know how you’re playing the song with ytdl first

[slim void]

What is the discord.py starup cmd, what do I put for it

[summer dust]

sure

[odd stratus]

Although idk if cookies always work if the IP is already banned so you might need to try with a VPN for it

[gilded olive]

@mellow kelp yo

[summer dust]

something like this is what i do @odd stratus

[gilded olive]

I have an issue with yarn

[summer dust]

yeah, for sure ill change the ip of the server

[slim void]

bruh

[summer dust]

but if i can prevent it from happening again

[slim void]

how tf do I do this lmfao

[summer dust]

its ok

[slim void]

I've never used a host?

Startup cmd?!?!

main.py doesn't work

[summer dust]

try chmod +x entrypoint.sh

then execute main.py again

[slim void]

u talking to me?

[summer dust]

yes

[slim void]

so like this?

yeah no 😦

[summer dust]

mmm i thought you got access to a ssh shell

[slim void]

bruh what is this

[odd stratus]

If you don't mind could you send me the whole code in a SourceBin in my DMs? I could add it in then but you'll need to get the cookies from YouTube

[mellow kelp]

sup

[summer dust]

sure

i send you the whole function i use

[odd stratus]

This is the regular ytdl-core right

[summer dust]

thanks @odd stratus

[summer dust]

yep

[odd stratus]

👌

[slim void]

what is the discord.py startup cmd, anyone know pls

[odd stratus]

py -3 main.py

That's what a document says

[slim void]

what?

It's not supporting python now

[gilded olive]

yarn add -D @types/node typescript never seems to work because of the typescript thing, i can see ti tries to fetch it but fails and says my internet is not working even tho everything else is

[gilded olive]

it spits out yarn-error.log

[slim void]

-py 3 didn't work

[mellow kelp]

that should work just fine tho

[slim void]

it's ot

[mellow kelp]

is it just an internet error?

[slim void]

not

[gilded olive]

hold up ill get the log

[odd stratus]

python3 <filename>.py then

[slim void]

like this?

[slim void]

yoo

😂 this host is a bit wack

[gilded olive]

Idk why it does this smh

The node one works

Should I try just node

Or do both typescript and node need to be in the same line

[mellow kelp]

you should be able to do both at the same time

but i guess you could try one at a time

[gilded olive]

I think it's an issue with the typescript addition

Because it gets node just fine

Well

It just worked randomly

Ok then

[mellow kelp]

o

aight

[gilded olive]

Ben awad teaching me react and ts

[mellow kelp]

yes

once he was trying vue.js with typescript for the first time and wanted to know the type of an 'onclick' event

"Well now I know what this type is" - he said as he typed any

[earnest phoenix]

react 18 is definitely going to be king of UI frameworks once it comes out

[mellow kelp]

whats it gonna bring?

[earnest phoenix]

facebook is focusing on concurrent UI and SSR

[earnest phoenix]

@terse sphinx its already taken over 4 hours 😦

and the 429 error isn't going away

from what i'm seeing

your error says you got API banned for exceeding ratelimits too frequently

API bans last 24 hours they're supposed to last an hour

however it may vary

if it doesn't expire after 24 hours contact discord support

more information at: https://www.reddit.com/r/discordapp/comments/couffh/is_discord_going_to_undo_the_recent_api_change/ewmd8f0/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x

hmm i think i understand why I got API banned

but I don't understand why the ban has already lasted 4 hours and counting

[gilded olive]

What did you do to get API banned

Accidental for loop?

[earnest phoenix]

i'm not 100% sure

[pale vessel]

That doesn't sound very good

If you got API banned you just have done something that's worth noticing

[earnest phoenix]

no it wasn't a for loop, my bot didn't have any rate limit handling, so I think a user probably just spammed commands

[twilit geode]

I found using sql and stuff like that really hard, and lots of stuff I dont understand, is there anything wrong with using JSON?

[mellow kelp]

json aint meant for storing data

[earnest phoenix]

also, when I do something like this.

print(req.headers['Retry-After'])```

I get a number which is going down, but whenever the number hits 0 it resets back to 3600

[twilit geode]

neither is my brain, but it works

its just for economy

[earnest phoenix]

<#development message>

if you find it hard to work with SQL use an ORM or a noSQL db

[twilit geode]

...

ty

I will take cry as an instruction

[sacred trout]

how much time does it take a bot to get reviewd?

reviewed

[earnest phoenix]

however long it takes

[sacred trout]

lol

[earnest phoenix]

my bot took like 4 days

[sacred trout]

oh ok

tanks

thanks*

[earnest phoenix]

rip the retry after time just reset

it went from like 400 to 0 and now its back up to 3500

doesn't seem like its going to get fixed any time soon 😦

contact discord support

be specific about your issue or they're just going to bin your ticket to a bot

thats what i did

you should really handle the ratelimit doe

[pale vessel]

Doesn't the library handle rate limits?

[gilded olive]

Which lib?

[pale vessel]

Was thinking of Discord.js, but I just looked again, they seem to be using d.py

[earnest phoenix]

dunno if he mentioned the lib, just said "my bot didn't have any rate limit handling"

[gilded olive]

d.py does handle rate limits afaik

[earnest phoenix]

it indeed does

[gilded olive]

I tried seeing how far I could push it

Got rate limited for 44 minutes

[drifting wedge]

How do webhooks work? Like I set up a route for it, but how do I get what the webhook is sending?

[earnest phoenix]

webhooks are reverse APIs

[delicate shore]

Does https://ko-fi.com/ gives an api??

[drifting wedge]

Wdym?

[earnest phoenix]

instead of you making a request to the API, the API makes a request to you

[drifting wedge]

An api is like you ask for something and it gives you

A webhook is the thing giving you the data?

Im so confused

A webhook is like something sending data to you?

[solemn latch]

yeah

[drifting wedge]

But how do you read the data?

[solemn latch]

in the http receiver.

generally

[drifting wedge]

Wdym? How would I?

[earnest phoenix]

a webhook is nothing more than just a simple HTTP request

[drifting wedge]

I don't really understand this stuff to well lol

[earnest phoenix]

you need to have a webserver open and listening to a port

[drifting wedge]

Http request is like a url

[earnest phoenix]

well yes and no

[drifting wedge]

So the webhook sends the data in the url?

Wot

[earnest phoenix]

a url is only a small part of a request

a request contains the url, headers and extra data in some cases

[solemn latch]

the bot reviewer applications are currently closed.

[delicate shore]

https://ko-fi.com/manage/webhooks

[earnest phoenix]

you get the data in the body of the request, that's the extra data

[solemn latch]

pretty sure it was in #announcements last time.

[drifting wedge]

Where would I get the body?

That's what I don't understand

[earnest phoenix]

from the request

use a webserver library

[drifting wedge]

I don't understand how the additional information sent works

I will, lemme reasearch it dw

[earnest phoenix]

it's sent in the body of the request

[drifting wedge]

Rq

I don't get that lol, lemme look into it more

Ty

[delicate shore]

How can I integrate https://ko-fi.com/manage/webhooks with discord webhooks so it sends a message in discord server

[solemn latch]

many webhooks are not compatible with each other.

[earnest phoenix]

you need to host your own webserver to act as a middleware between kofi and discord

.@drifting wedge this might help https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Overview#http_flow

the thing in the code blocks is how a http request looks like

you mostly won't encounter a raw format like that with modern day development

libraries handle a lot of that for you

[drifting wedge]

Aiohttp is just requests but async right?

[earnest phoenix]

no idea, i don't work with python

[drifting wedge]

Ok ty

[old cliff]

Guys is this too much ram resource usage ?

yeah I am caching everything

:/

Feels stupid

[earnest phoenix]

im assuming you're using djs

[drifting wedge]

Ty tho

[old cliff]

yes

[earnest phoenix]

djs is a ram chonker

[drifting wedge]

I think I understood

It's too much lol

Too much ram

[old cliff]

now its using 600mb

[drifting wedge]

@old cliff

[old cliff]

bruh

[drifting wedge]

Mine is in like 700 servers and using like 130 mb

@earnest phoenix for a webhook I would setup a get thing?

[earnest phoenix]

i had around 250 (500 at peak activity) mb usage at 2500 guilds with c# and discord.net

@drifting wedge yup

[drifting wedge]

Ez!!!!!

Ty

[old cliff]

I might have to use RAW event and caching nothing xD

[lone edge]

@solemn latch is there anything else i should do to change my bot before resubmitting? (other than fixing that command)

[drifting wedge]

My website handles data really weirdly, I don't like using complicated stuff, so I just use the js fetch

And get response from flask and see what response it matches with

[old cliff]

well what was the message cache sweep thingy ?

[solemn latch]

not that i saw.

[lone edge]

alright thanks 🙂

[earnest phoenix]

i cached every member in dapi, dbl and dbots (so around 200k members at the time) and didnt exceed 500mb 🤔

you might have to move libraries or the language entirely

[lusty quest]

look into d.js-light gives you way more control about the cache

its pretty much normal d.js just some of the caching stuff changed

[earnest phoenix]

How can I fix this error it shows cmds folder does not exist but it is there

You can see here

[lusty quest]

is the path correct?

[earnest phoenix]

Yes

[lusty quest]

then it should work

[drifting wedge]

Im very confused, so the url I put for the dbl webhook api

For votes, let's say I set up the url and stuff

How do I get the data?

[lusty quest]

the DBL server sends a Call to your Webhook Server with the data

[solemn latch]

you can use this as your receiver. https://github.com/top-gg/python-sdk specifically the webhook section

[drifting wedge]

Ty for spoon feeding me in the docs @slender thistle

[slim void]

Is it possible to make a backup bot that saves the permissions to with all role permissions? Then when you backup everything is normal.

[lusty quest]

sure but it could be a nightmare from a Data Security side of things

[slim void]

Uh

I've never seen a bot do like that

I feel like it would be useful

But leaking permissions if it happened isn't really bad is it?

[cinder patio]

https://github.com/Androz2091/discord-backup I think this saves all perms

[slim void]

@cinder patio can that be used as a public bot or only as a personal?

[pale vessel]

Read the license lmao

[slim void]

Mit?

Doesn't that mean public.

Yeah distribution

[restive furnace]

discordjs is MIT too, so how you could not use that then?

atleast what I remember

[earnest phoenix]

What is wrong
+eval message.guild.channels.cache.get(772051120595009549).message.fetch(798999326717640724).then(message => message.react('😄'));

[tight plinth]

convert the ids to string

[earnest phoenix]

also a message doesn't exist on a channel

[tight plinth]

^ .messages instead of .message

plus try to do .then(msg =>...) instead of .then(message =>...) since the message object already exists

[copper lance]

Heyo, my bots in 80 servers so i think i should apply for verification. What exactly do I need to do, I find their docs confusing about it

[tight plinth]

you need to go to your bot page in the dev portal, click the bot section and follow the instructions

[earnest phoenix]

thx this makes so adiiference

[tight plinth]

ids are not stored as numbers due to how big they are xD

even at discord they use strings

[slender thistle]

I'm glad they were helpful

[drifting wedge]

They weren't, the spoon feeding was

I don't read docs or Google

I have you!

Either spoon feed or shivaco feed

[slender thistle]

[tribal siren]

if(!message.member.roles.cache.some('750302895202762863')) return message.channel.send(embed)

typeerror: fn is not a function

why doesns't it work?

[slate apex]

Hmmm

[earnest phoenix]

read the error

some takes in a function

[tribal siren]

oh hey cry

[earnest phoenix]

hii

how to fetch messages from a userid

[uncut swallow]

guys i development a comand of translate and i have a error you can help me?

[analog jolt]

can someone tell me why does the bot goes offline even if there is no error in console and the bot still says its online in console?
this happens like after 6+7 hours of hosting on aws

[earnest phoenix]

u already asked it on discord.js server
this not aws suppport server xD

[uncut swallow]

xd

[slim void]

Where does the token go?

I'm installing a public bot-open-source, says change the token then it's all good. But In node.js where is the token?

which one would the token be in

[slim void]

nvm fixed it

Alp

[analog tinsel]

did there anyone know how to convert .ttf to .fnt?

[slim void]

Alp

[analog tinsel]

yes

[slim void]

Do you know what this means

[analog tinsel]

im using discord bot maker :d

im noob

[slim void]

WAT

ew

🤔

[analog tinsel]

you must install modules

type npm i --force

[blissful bridge]

do npm i discord.js

[slim void]

holy grap

@blissful bridge

[slim void]

that's what happens if I do npm i discord.js

[blissful bridge]

ok?

[slim void]

why no w ork

here is updated error

[blissful bridge]

ok do npm i --save

then just try to start your bot

[slim void]

ok

[blissful bridge]

if it still wont work

[slim void]

doing it rn

[blissful bridge]

then idk

[blissful bridge]

ok now start your bot

[slim void]

I idd

with what starup?

[blissful bridge]

node <yourmainfile>

[slim void]

yoo

wtf

ur like

magic

😂

Eren

[blissful bridge]

not even close to magic

[slim void]

can u educate me what npm even is

or what I just did?

[slender thistle]

how do you use npm without knowing what it is

[blissful bridge]

you just installed modules

[slim void]

tbh

I just sometimes do without knowing

[blissful bridge]

you need them to run your bot

or for its functions

[slim void]

h! I created my bot in main.py

[slender thistle]

npm stands for node package manager

[slim void]

I never used npm in my life

repl.it did it all for me

[blissful bridge]

you can also use yarn ofc if you want to

[sharp prairie]

welp

[tribal siren]

@slim void why do you copy github sources

[eternal osprey]

hey guys

[tribal siren]

sup

[slim void]

I don't?

[eternal osprey]

i have a json file containing the key owner

[tribal siren]

cool

[slim void]

I made my own bot, however, I saw this new node.js backup bot that like..

[eternal osprey]

how would i change the owner id? With a saved variable of message.author.id

[slim void]

copys perms and everything

and I wanted it 😄

for personal use

damn

it even copys embeds

rip api 😂

[eternal osprey]

if anyone knows the asnwer, please ping me.

[slim void]

Awsome

do u think it's wrong to host someones bot that's on github and distribute it to others

I saw on github, it said: "I cannot afford to make this bot public", I figured what if I host it?

[eternal osprey]

i think it is wrong if you don't credit the person that made it.

[eternal osprey]

if he asked you to host it, then it's actually a good thing. If the did not ask you, you are doing something bad imo.

[slim void]

I would credit him 100%

and take 0 credit for it

[eternal osprey]

then it's good

[slim void]

k

[eternal osprey]

do you know the answer btw?

[slim void]

Maybe I won't make it public

feels bad to do that

Plus idk how the bot rlly works

and if people start complaining or asking for updates.. yeah lol

[sharp prairie]

miner mends

I think

that

you need to start over

with learning discord.js

and node stuff

because really to do stuff you want, first you need to understand them

[slim void]

@sharp prairie I agree

My first bot which is in 92 servers is made in discord.py

I tried doing bots in lua

Just wasn't my thing.

I've been learning js tho

[sharp prairie]

oo noice

yeah python and javascript have big differences

and its tough to learn from one to another

[near stratus]

it's tough to learn anything from Python
Except Scratch that's not a language

[sharp prairie]

lmao true

[slim void]

I don't like python.

it's very messy in my opinion

Whereas JS looks more clean/organized.

The good thing about python is it's easy..

[sharp prairie]

also whats ur bots name miner?

[tidal bluff]

Hello everybody! So I'm trying to make a user info command. I created a -me command which works perfectly, but the other one which mentions a other user, gives a strange result. Here's the code and the result:

[near stratus]

ever heard of GO and Swift ?

[sharp prairie]

you can just do const member = message.mentions.users.first() || message.author

[near stratus]

@tidal bluff how's the ID valid when username is invalid ?

[timber fractal]

So i have this collector ```js
collector1.on(collect, m => {

})``` But how can i make it so if somebody in the channel sends `m` it sends "hi you choose m" and if someone in the channel says `c` it says "hi you choose c" so than i know how that collector works

[tidal bluff]

@near stratus Tell me about it. Idk

[sharp prairie]

@tidal bluff

[tidal bluff]

@sharp prairie I saw that but the mentioned user isn't the command author (e.g it's not me)

[near stratus]

did you actually mention someone
also it was supposed to be a Typeerror not undefined

[tidal bluff]

No errors

[timber fractal]

somebody?

[near stratus]

Something like
Can't read property username of undefined

[timber fractal]

So i have this collector ```js
collector1.on(collect, m => {

})``` But how can i make it so if somebody in the channel sends `m` it sends "hi you choose m" and if someone in the channel says `c` it says "hi you choose c" so than i know how that collector works

[tidal bluff]

Absolutely no errors

[slim void]

question

[near stratus]

@tidal bluff
try this

message.mentions.members.first()

cuz guild Probably don't define user that could be the issue

[tidal bluff]

Hold on

[near stratus]

and Probably message belongs to guild

[sharp prairie]

@tidal bluff lol the problem is that it needs to be message.mentions.members.first()

[timber fractal]

do u even see me? can anybody help?

[sharp prairie]

not message.mentions.users.first();

[near stratus]

John Cena is screaming

[tidal bluff]

@sharp prairie Like that

[sharp prairie]

yes

[near stratus]

yeah

[sharp prairie]

and now it should work

[timber fractal]

ok but can somebody help me

[eternal osprey]

hey! How do i change the object named "owner" to a variable i assigned for message.author.id

[tidal bluff]

Same

[sharp prairie]

wtf

[near stratus]

huh ?

[sacred aurora]

wut

[timber fractal]

So i have this collector ```js
collector1.on(collect, m => {

})``` But how can i make it so if somebody in the channel sends `m` it sends "hi you choose m" and if someone in the channel says `c` it says "hi you choose c" so than i know how that collector works

[eternal osprey]

what's so confusing?

[sacred aurora]

Is it edit the json file?

[eternal osprey]

i want to change the "owner' key's value.

[eternal osprey]

to edit the owner value inside the json file, yes.

[sacred aurora]

Fs read the file, hen edit

Yeag

[near stratus]

like permeantly like writing files ?

[sacred aurora]

Hmm typo

Then write it again

[eternal osprey]

how edit..?

[near stratus]

go to w3schools

[sacred aurora]

Parse the json

[eternal osprey]

like could we be a bit more specific.

[sacred aurora]

Then edit the owner

Then write again the file with stringify json

[eternal osprey]

that is not how objects work.

i was told to use keys and values.

[timber fractal]

So i have this collector ```js
collector1.on(collect, m => {

})``` But how can i make it so if somebody in the channel sends `m` it sends "hi you choose m" and if someone in the channel says `c` it says "hi you choose c" so than i know how that collector works

[sacred aurora]

Hmm

[eternal osprey]

sending the same message 10 times is not going to help solve your issue.

[near stratus]

@eternal osprey

fs.readFile('demofile1.json', (e, r) => {
    //here parse it
}

[eternal osprey]

hmm okay yeah

[near stratus]

then after parsing change the value and write it

[eternal osprey]

i actually already knew how to do the parsing etc.

[sacred aurora]

Then wut

[eternal osprey]

but the changing that is what leaves me hanging in the dark/

[timber fractal]

can at least someone respond because nobody is reacting on me

[eternal osprey]

like what should i use? Replace? Any function to swap?

[sacred aurora]

can u just set it?

like object = value

[eternal osprey]

the "owner"is an object. The value is already set.

[near stratus]

@eternal osprey after the above code just add this

fs.writeFile('demofile.json', 'new JSON object here', err =>  {
  if (err) throw err;
  console.log('Saved!');
});

[eternal osprey]

i am trying to replace that value.

[sacred aurora]

Yeah u can set it again bruh

[eternal osprey]

but there are like different objects with different owner values in there.

[near stratus]

like

let owner = { name : "js is bad use ts" };
owner = { name : "this is the new data"};

[eternal osprey]

if i use this would it replace all the owner values?

[sharp prairie]

@tidal bluff also use member.user.username

[near stratus]

just use a JSON database

[sharp prairie]

and rn I am trying

to use

[tidal bluff]

Nevermind, I managed to fix it

[sharp prairie]

oh

noice

[tidal bluff]

Thanks anyway, akio too.

[eternal osprey]

i am literally using json

[sharp prairie]

np glad to help

[near stratus]

JSON and JSON Database are not same
It's a tool to handle JSON files easily

just search on npm

[sacred aurora]

if u have a big and dynamic data then use proper database

[eternal osprey]

{"2172646":{"id":800,"name":"Necrozma","level":9,"catchChance":1,"spawnId":1300980,"owner":"363191104465666048","catchTime":"01/13/2021 12:04 PM","nickname":""} this is how one object would look like.

[sacred aurora]

json is good for static data

[near stratus]

@eternal osprey f it use mongoDB

[eternal osprey]

i can't

i would have to rewrite my whole, literally whole code.

[near stratus]

w h y ?

[tribal siren]

what does guild.mfaLevel stand for?

like what's mfa?

[near stratus]

@eternal osprey use a for loop

[eternal osprey]

why would i want to loop it?

[near stratus]

to find which object has the owner value you wanna change

[eternal osprey]

aha i see.

[analog imp]

anyone familiar with guildemojirolemanager?
guildEmoji.roles.set([`${args[1]}`])
so this was successful, and it added the emoji to the guildemojirole cache.
add the role to a member, and it doesn't apply the restriction removal upon gaining the role--cannot use the emoji despite having the role, and still is inaccessible to use
guildEmoji.roles.add(`${args[1]}`)
also does the same thing

[eternal osprey]

me myself, i was thinking about using ```js
var obj1 = {
"key1" : "value1",
"key2" : "Value2"
};
var obj2 = {
"key3" : "value3",
"key4" : "Value4"
};
function swap(sourceObj, sourceKey, targetObj, targetKey) {
var temp = sourceObj[sourceKey];
sourceObj[sourceKey] = targetObj[targetKey];
targetObj[targetKey] = temp;
}

        swap(obj1, "key1", obj1, "key2");
        swap(obj1, "key1", obj2, "key4");
    
    
     });```

[near stratus]

I thought your json file was like

[
    {
        "key1" : "value 1"
        "owner" : "16265226272762"
    },{
        "key1" : "value 2"
        "owner" : "123467097653123"
    }
]

[near stratus]

wut ?

[analog imp]

now this works if you have the role while adding it to the cache

but if you add the role to a member afterwards, it will not remove the restriction. i'm honestly a bit stumped

[eternal osprey]

nope

[analog imp]

#development message

[eternal osprey]

it looks like this

[analog imp]

wondering if i have to readd the role to the emojis everytime a guildmember is updated, one way for it to work. but now i'm looking at a lot of requests on an event

[near stratus]

@eternal osprey
introducing proper code blocks

{
    "2172646" : {
        "id":800,
        "name":"Necrozma",
        "level":9,
        "catchChance":1,
        "spawnId":1300980,
        "owner":"363191104465666048",
        "catchTime":"01/13/2021 12:04 PM",
        "nickname":""
    }
}

so it's even easier

@eternal osprey here is your complete code after all this time

let o = <Object>;

o["7252525"].owner = "New Owner ID"; //Setting the owner ID

fs.write("myfile.json", JSON.stringify(o), e => {
    //Handle error
});

@eternal osprey you there ?

[eternal osprey]

hey!

i am here

[eternal osprey]

but how would i use code blocks?

in my code

@near stratus

[timber fractal]

So i have this collector ```js
collector1.on(collect, m => {

})``` But how can i make it so if somebody in the channel sends `m` it sends "hi you choose m" and if someone in the channel says `c` it says "hi you choose c" so than i know how that collector works

[eternal osprey]

never worked with those

[near stratus]

use 3 ` then define language

[analog imp]

m is your param, so apply property content to it to get the content of what they said while your collector is active, then do something with it

if (m.content === "c"){
//do something
}

^example using if statement

[lusty quest]

i think he got a Brainfart and thought it where a thing in js

[analog imp]

meanwhile i'm thinking i actually found a library issue in discord.js

[timber fractal]

okay thank u

[timber fractal]

doesnt work

it just says nothing

no error

or something

[earnest phoenix]

No error, just saying specify a user to unban , what’s wrong?

const member = message.guild.member.cache.get(args[1])right?

[near stratus]

you can't mention a member who is banned

[earnest phoenix]

Yes so I can replace it with const member = message.guild.member.cache.get(args[1])

Right?

[lusty quest]

also its possible that the member is no longer in cache

[near stratus]

yes

[earnest phoenix]

Hmm

[pearl trail]

fetch banned user from guild

[earnest phoenix]

So what should I do?

[near stratus]

@earnest phoenix

And also change your username

It sounds weird

[earnest phoenix]

Why lol?

[near stratus]

it actually means you're a pig in PewDiePie language

[earnest phoenix]

LOL

[zenith terrace]

that whole coding is wrong as well,

"you cannot kick this user if you dont have ban members perm",

let bannedMemberInfo = await message.guild.fetchBans(); //fetch member here

const bannedMember = bannedMemberInfo.find(b => b.user.username.toLowerCase() === args[0].toLocaleLowerCase()) || bannedMemberInfo.get(args[0]) || bannedMemberInfo.find(bm => bm.user.tag.toLowerCase() === args[0].toLocaleLowerCase());

message.guild.members.unban(bannedMember.user.id)```
This is from my unban code

[pearl trail]

oh damn, but i want this name with me forever

[earnest phoenix]

multiple users can have the same tag or the same username

[near stratus]

yeah

[earnest phoenix]

you should probably AND that

[near stratus]

wait same tag too ?

[earnest phoenix]

yes

a user cannot share the same tag and the same username

they're exclusive

they can have either the same username or the same tag

[near stratus]

yeah that's what I got when I had Nitro

[earnest phoenix]

Lmao I was lazy and copied my kick commands embed reply

[near stratus]

check if the Author has BAN permission before he can Unban

[earnest phoenix]

Yes I’ll also do that

[timber fractal]

So i have this collector ```js
collector1.on(collect, m => {

})``` But how can i make it so if somebody in the channel sends `m` it sends "hi you choose m" and if someone in the channel says `c` it says "hi you choose c" so than i know how that collector works

[earnest phoenix]

Should I change the bots icon or name or does it look good?

[fluid basin]

well you need to a make a filter that checks for the presence of m or c then send a message that contains m or c

[timber fractal]

i have a filter

that exactly filters the m and c

but in that collector it needs to see if its m or c

[fluid basin]

and? whats the issue

yeah check if the message contains m or c

[timber fractal]

that for m i want a different code than c

[timber fractal]

yeah but how bcz the way somebody saids doesnt work
