[crimson vapor]

@slim heart what does your lib do for timeouts?

[slim heart]

hm?

[crimson vapor]

#development message

[toxic jolt]

console.log(`Launched shard ${shard.id}`)```How can I write how many shards to start here?
e.g: Launched shard 1/26

[slim heart]

i wait 5s between each shard start

[deep plover]

😄

[green kestrel]

does this work @toxic jolt

console.log(`Launched shard ${shard.id}/${shard.totalShards}`);```

[toxic jolt]

oh thanks so much <3

[slim heart]

each shard start is centralized on the master

[crimson vapor]

pog

[slim heart]

so it just goes down the list meaning it wont get ratelimited

[green kestrel]

btw its a guess! i don't use discord.js myself

so please let me know if it works

[toxic jolt]

worked thanks

My bot uses a lot of ram and processor, how can I fix this? Is there a way to start Node.js with ram setting?

[opal plank]

move to c langs for less ram

or use detritus

#notSponsored

[green kestrel]

yw 🙂 @high bobcat gave me the answer 😄

[high bobcat]

oh sorry

[green kestrel]

rewrite your bot in C++ like i did.... 6.7 million users, 75k servers in under 6gb ram

😄

[high bobcat]

what did you ask

oh

[crimson vapor]

@green kestrel is there a c++ lib? lmao

[high bobcat]

im dumb

[green kestrel]

bkahnwald, you indirectly gave me the max shards property 😉

[toxic jolt]

omg

[opal plank]

pfff what a noob, using 6gb with 75k servers

[toxic jolt]

6 gb ram?

[green kestrel]

@crimson vapor ofc! https://github.com/zeroxs/aegis.cpp

[crimson vapor]

githib

[toxic jolt]

:D

get rekt

[crimson vapor]

how many guilds

[toxic jolt]

...

[opal plank]

in only 2k servers

[toxic jolt]

what theee...

[opal plank]

d.js ftw

[crimson vapor]

djs

[green kestrel]

oh, i cache everything, too

[high bobcat]

yea yea

[deep plover]

😄

[toxic jolt]

im using 2 vds ....

[opal plank]

unoptimised crap ngl, frick d.js

[crimson vapor]

I kinda wanna learn c++ ngl

seems like effort tho

[green kestrel]

you should! its a fun language

[toxic jolt]

first vds

[crimson vapor]

no clue even where to start

[opal plank]

should move to detritus

[crimson vapor]

me?

[opal plank]

not that hard of a port

if you use ts, yeah

[toxic jolt]

I guess other vds are dead

not connecting

[crimson vapor]

I just rewrote to discord-rose

[high bobcat]

activate windows

not expected

[opal plank]

yikes, using libs that arent even released

for prod at that

[crimson vapor]

bro

[misty sigil]

lol

[crimson vapor]

my prod has like 3 important servers

[toxic jolt]

system... why....

[crimson vapor]

and this is one of them

[crimson vapor]

you wish you were me

77 servers

20mb memory

[misty sigil]

417 servers

[opal plank]

best i can do is 2.5k at 900mb

[crimson vapor]

damn

[misty sigil]

80mb

[green kestrel]

gonna flex... this is my current usages

[opal plank]

actually, my bad, 824

[misty sigil]

nah

that’s fuckin cool

[lament rock]

What's the max char length of all permission bitfields ORd together, currently?

[opal plank]

i need this in my graphs

[misty sigil]

look at that panel

[opal plank]

im still trying to figure out a way to graph it dynamically

[misty sigil]

Does the panel update automatically?

[green kestrel]

yes

[earnest phoenix]

i have 4k servers and this

[crimson vapor]

does it fetch an api?

[green kestrel]

its a hack, it just does a meta refresh 😄

[toxic jolt]

how make it this panel omg

[misty sigil]

omg

that’s a hot panel

[toxic jolt]

i have 26k guild :D

[green kestrel]

@toxic jolt easy... use an external db like mysql or redis, get each shard to push status and metrics into the db, and query the db to display the page

[crimson vapor]

WHAT THE FUCK

12 cores

[toxic jolt]

and this

[copper cradle]

I'm gonna try that

[crimson vapor]

bro your bot must be shit

ngl

if its using that much cpu

[toxic jolt]

@crimson vapor yeah :D

[green kestrel]

hes got 22k servers?

[crimson vapor]

ye

[toxic jolt]

like this bro

this vds is died

[lament rock]

running a bot on windows. Kinda weird unless it's some windows only dependency

[green kestrel]

isnt that sort of thing expected with node and djs with many servers?

[toxic jolt]

now

[crimson vapor]

erwin you are poggers

[toxic jolt]

WHAT THE

[opal plank]

METRICS

[misty sigil]

oh god

DATA

MMMM

[earnest phoenix]

lol

[toxic jolt]

you how make it this

omg...

i so like it :C

[misty sigil]

I love data

[opal plank]

grafana and a shit ton of work

[misty sigil]

data is cool

[green kestrel]

nice, grafana?

[crimson vapor]

ima setup grafana soon™️

[opal plank]

yeee boi

i wanna add cluster/shards status ontop

[crimson vapor]

just gotta work on process communication to get stats

[toxic jolt]

im using quick.db and vds is died

[misty sigil]

I wish I could do that

[opal plank]

but making ti dynamic has been provindg to be quite the task

[green kestrel]

oh god, THE PAIN

quick.db with tens of thousands of servers

🤮

[misty sigil]

OH GOED

[crimson vapor]

isnt quick.db blocking??

[opal plank]

postgres ftw

[misty sigil]

OH MY

[lament rock]

Anyone on DJS wanna tell me the value of the ALL BitfieldResolvable?

[misty sigil]

that reminds me

[crimson vapor]

bro Kyoso does like 22k requests to his db a second or some shit

[green kestrel]

yes, quick.db locks the sqlite db to make an update

[high bobcat]

wio.db the best

[umbral zealot]

yes but very fast.

[misty sigil]

I need to rewrite my db

[toxic jolt]

Couldn't figure out how to transfer the quick.db data to mongodb

[opal plank]

smol numbers

[copper cradle]

slow.db ftw

[misty sigil]

I’ve got the data transferred from mongo to postgres

[opal plank]

i was hitting 120k a second with Leviatahn on twitch

[crimson vapor]

why don't you cache???

[misty sigil]

now I need to read from postgres

fuck cache

database go brr

and it’s gonna fucking deal with it

[opal plank]

actually

where is it

[crimson vapor]

my db code isn't too shit

[opal plank]

one sec

[crimson vapor]

oh erwin

[misty sigil]

my db code is shit

[crimson vapor]

do you think you could help me with an issue im having

[lament rock]

database go brrr

[crimson vapor]

reeee

[earnest phoenix]

go brrrr

[opal plank]

needless to say my bot managed to clog postgres

[copper cradle]

https://dontasktoask.com

[crimson vapor]

bro

ok

[misty sigil]

fuckin hell

[opal plank]

that was the reason i went to cassandra

[crimson vapor]

"how to solve race condition"

[opal plank]

what im amazed is that it didnt block it

it was actually maintaining

[copper cradle]

therw u go

[opal plank]

postgres is awfully powerfull

[lament rock]

Did you batch queries together

[copper cradle]

wasn't that easier?

[crimson vapor]

basically when a user runs a command as their first message, there will be no data in the DB so it creates it. but it also creates it on the first message, creating the issue where the bot is erroring because of a duplicate unique data in the DB

[modest maple]

postgres can easily handle 1 million rows a sec so i doubt you can truly clog it up

just need to actually set it up correctly :P

[opal plank]

PFFFFFFF

INSERT () VALUES() RETURNING *

who would win?

a fast performance database

[copper cradle]

lol

[opal plank]

or a return * boi?

[crimson vapor]

so erwin do you know a possible solution to my issue?

[opal plank]

look, some stuff was generated, so i had to return some generated values

[opal plank]

yes, use detritus

all problems gone

[cinder patio]

upsert

[opal plank]

was about to link that

https://www.postgresqltutorial.com/postgresql-upsert/

[crimson vapor]

mongodb tho

[pale vessel]

mongo has it too

[crimson vapor]

ah

[opal plank]

or move to postgres and join the cool kids gang

[lament rock]

erwin. Your genshin bot broke postgres in <3k guilds?

[pale vessel]

updateOne(filter, doc, { upsert: true })

[crimson vapor]

@opal plank rewrite my db code and ill do it

[opal plank]

no, hell naw

[pale vessel]

well, mongoose or whatever

[opal plank]

leviathan

[green kestrel]

INSERT INTO table ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE ....``` ^ myqsql

[lament rock]

how many guilds

[opal plank]

that bot managed to get 98% of twitch's global traffic

levitahan is a twitch/discord bot

i was testing my caching library on it

[lament rock]

REPLACE INTO table

[opal plank]

managed to pull around 5 million live viewers

[green kestrel]

and you can kill postgres with a 1 million row table, same as mysql, if you dont properly index your fields

if every time you touch that table its doing a full table scan, you WILL kill your queries

[opal plank]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

this

[lament rock]

Working on primary keys first, then gonna add multi column indexing

[green kestrel]

NO! replace into is tons of times slower than insert on duplicate key... replace into deletes the row and reinserts it

never ever use replace into if you care about performance, try doing 100,000 of them on a huge table, and comparing to insert on duplicate key update, and see the difference

[crimson vapor]

@opal plank https://github.com/Million900o/terano-rose/blob/master/src/database/user.ts wouldn't even be that bad to rewrite this to use postgres

[lament rock]

Probably why Maria died trying to be a cache

[opal plank]

there you go, one step in, second is ditch that unfinished lib and come to detritus

[crimson vapor]

no im not doing that

[earnest phoenix]

i will shard my bot 19 times because why npt

[copper cradle]

damn

[crimson vapor]

im not switching my db nor my lib

unless someone rewrites everything for me

[green kestrel]

https://github.com/brainboxdotcc/triviabot/blob/master/modules/bandwidth/bandwidth.cpp#L52 heres how i do my queries (see line 52)

but that one doesnt do "on duplicate key update" because its guaranteed unique

[lament rock]

wish postgres supported ? as prepared statement identifiers

[modest maple]

I just always use INSERT INTO x with CQL

who needs update amiright

[crimson vapor]

@green kestrel is there a reason you put the license at the top of every file?

[modest maple]

just use the standard postgres place holders?

[lament rock]

but I do like how you can de-dupe data sent by specifying index of prepared

Yes. That's what I do

[green kestrel]

heres some examples with on duplicate key update:
https://github.com/brainboxdotcc/triviabot/blob/master/modules/trivia/webrequest.cpp#L210

[opal plank]

be the better man, use query().catch(() =>{}) , if you cant see the problem, there isnt one

[modest maple]

the point of the place holders is you can have server pointers to the same value

e.g.

SELECT bob FROM thing WHERE foo = $1 AND baz = $1 AND x = $2

this query might be completely invalid btw i cant remember if it's AND or if it supported comma seperation

but same principles

[lament rock]

That's the use I found from switching to psql from maria.
Just a slight annoyance going and changing literally all of my sql statements

was nicer moving from sqlite to maria

[opal plank]

sqlite !== psql

[lament rock]

I'm aware

[slender thistle]

Oops.

[lament rock]

They're both based on SQL, so I expected more compatibility, I guess

[latent heron]

@modest maple did you end up getting your DB to work?

[slender thistle]

I wanted to output Hello World! initially but seems I did something better

[modest maple]

yeah

i gave in trying to run a single local instance

its just running in cluster mode now

so my pc is just a datacenter connection rn

[latent heron]

lmao

well congrats

[modest maple]

fun fun fun

[nimble kiln]

Looking into indicies right now. Lets say I have a table with millions of chatlogs, where this gets saved:
ID - Date - Time - Username - Message

would it make sense to create an index for the username column, if I'm retrieving log entries by username alot?

[lament rock]

ye

[modest maple]

yes

[nimble kiln]

mhm!

Cause I do have a log table with millions of entries

[lament rock]

How long does a single query take

[modest maple]

I hope you delete those messages after the user leaves your scope

data protection intensifies

[nimble kiln]

Not a discord bot in that case, but a minecraft bot

[modest maple]

still

[nimble kiln]

SELECT * FROM logs WHERE username = 'LolRiTTeR';

[modest maple]

that's pretty poor performance for a few million rows

[nimble kiln]

16695305

almost 17 million apparently

[modest maple]

yikes data protection is

[lament rock]

Yikes

[nimble kiln]

I use the logs to provide leaderboard and such

how many messages a user said, how many kills, deaths etc.

Cause I have to get them by chat

[lament rock]

what kind of data do you store

[nimble kiln]

ID, Date, Time, Username, Message

ID is primary key auto_increment

[lament rock]

oh right. You did provide the column def previously. What exactly do you do with the message content column if I might ask?

[nimble kiln]

There's one command which shows you the last 5 messages written

[lament rock]

Ah okay. I see. It would make sense to store that, then

[nimble kiln]

Also a !quote command to get 1 random quote from a user

Lets break my table by adding an index I guess? 👀

[lament rock]

Everything will be fine

[modest maple]

what db is it?

[nimble kiln]

MariaDB

[modest maple]

is that even gonna survive altering 17 million rows

[nimble kiln]

Guess I'll find out? ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[lament rock]

Maria is pretty resilient

[cinder patio]

Ah, scaling, when will I get to do it 😭

[lament rock]

Growth is slow initially

but when it hits you, it hits hard

[fluid basin]

@viscid gale

const waiter = () => new Promise((r, j) => r(1));

(async () => {
  const start1 = Date.now();
  for (let i=0; i<999999; i++) {
    await waiter();
  }
  console.log('Async:', Date.now() - start1, 'ms');
})();

const promise_func = (i) => {
  if (i === 999999) {
    console.log('Promise:', Date.now() - start2, 'ms');
    return;
  }
  waiter().then(() => promise_func(i + 1));
}
const start2 = Date.now();
promise_func(0);

[lament rock]

what are the timings

[fluid basin]

Promise: 386 ms```

[lament rock]

not bad

[quartz kindle]

promises are slow af

[cinder patio]

Though, in the second test you have recursion, which is generally slower than a regular loop

[lament rock]

Doesn't some engines spawn promises on another thread?

[quartz kindle]

this is why its not recommended to use them everywhere

only use promises when actually needed

[modest maple]

func walkRoutes(r chi.Routes, path []string, base string) []string {
    routes := r.Routes()
    if len(routes) == 0 {
        return path
    }

    var route chi.Route
    for i:=0;i<len(routes);i++ {
        route = routes[i]
        if route.SubRoutes != nil {
            path = walkRoutes(route.SubRoutes, path, base + route.Pattern)
        } else {
            path = append(path, base + route.Pattern)
        }
    }

    return path
}```

Fun times with go recursion

[earnest phoenix]

how to do this ?

me nub

[modest maple]

what

[fluid basin]

yeah lol async is faster kek @modest maple

[cinder patio]

Use recursion for the first test too

[modest maple]

thats probably gonna depend on the eventloop and runtime itself

[fluid basin]

yeah I should

[cinder patio]

Also use performance.now() instead of Date and possibly run them separately

[fluid basin]

its just a demonstration

[crystal wigeon]

djs message obj and stuff never get garbage collected?

it keeps growing as many people keep typing commands

[thick nexus]

how is i use multiple prefixes

[crystal wigeon]

put the prefixes in array []

[thick nexus]

ok

[crystal wigeon]

and then you can just [].findIndex to check for the prefix

[nimble kiln]

MariaDB is having fun indexing the column

Oh hey finished after 85seconds, nice

[modest maple]

const waiter = () => new Promise((r, j) => r(1));

const async_func = (async (i) => {
  if (i === 999999) {
    console.log('Async:', Date.now() - start1, 'ms');
    return;
  }
  await waiter();
  await async_func(i + 1);
});
const start1 = Date.now();
async_func(0).then(() => {
  const promise_func = (i) => {
    if (i === 999999) {
      console.log('Promise:', Date.now() - start2, 'ms');
      return;
    }
    waiter().then(() => promise_func(i + 1));
  }
  const start2 = Date.now();
  promise_func(0);
})```

Async: 1222 ms
Promise: 59 ms

[fluid basin]

uh what

this better

const waiter = () => new Promise((r, j) => r(1));

const async_func = async (i) => {
  if (i === 999999) {
    console.log('Async:', Date.now() - start1, 'ms');
    return;
  }
  async_func(i + await waiter());
}
const start1 = Date.now();
async_func(0);

const promise_func = (i) => {
  if (i === 999999) {
    console.log('Promise:', Date.now() - start2, 'ms');
    return;
  }
  waiter().then(r => promise_func(i + r));
}
const start2 = Date.now();
promise_func(0);```

[nimble kiln]

That's way faster

[fluid basin]

chrome wtf HAHAHAHA

[cinder patio]

^ Same, that doesn't look right

Looks like .then is faster

[fluid basin]

hrm

yeah wot

but in nodejs its a different story

[modest maple]

dont think so

they should always be faster

[fluid basin]

hrm makes sense

ok so we conclude promise is much faster

but honestly async/await and recursive func is quite dumb

[cinder patio]

but it makes the test fair

[modest maple]

every time you add to that callstack youre slowing everything down

[earnest phoenix]

can you add more than 1 value to object, NameValueCollection c#

see what i mean

[cinder patio]

You can only store strings in a NameValueCollection, use a Dictionary and store a List of strings

[earnest phoenix]

ah

ait ill look it up

[crystal wigeon]

someone help?

[earnest phoenix]

with what

[cinder patio]

Nobody can help until you ask your question

[fathom frost]

MaxListenersExceededWarning: Possible EventEmitter memory leak detected. 11 message listeners added to [Client]. Use emitter.setMaxListeners() to increase limit
(Use node --trace-warnings ... to show where the warning was created)

Does someone know what this means?

[cinder patio]

You have too many event listeners

[fathom frost]

Explain yourself

[cinder patio]

That usually happens when you create an event listener inside another event without destroying it

or a loop

[umbral zealot]

Either you've created too many message handlers, or you have a client.on("message") inside another event

[fathom frost]

Ohhhh

So like

An event inside an event?

[cinder patio]

could be, or inside a loop, or you just have too many event listeners in general

we can't tell exactly without looking at the code

[fathom frost]

hhmmmmm wait

I will try to delete a suspect one

And tell you what happen

ok didnt work

@cinder patio So I need to create another file, or smth?

if i want to create more events?

[earnest phoenix]

did u create that many listeners

[cinder patio]

no

[fathom frost]

so what do i need to do?

[earnest phoenix]

does that msg popup when u start bot?

[cinder patio]

You either

1. Increase the max event listener size
2. Destroy listeners after you don't need them / Combine multiple listeners of the same type into one

[light fossil]

Hi

[cinder patio]

increasing the size is only good when you are 100% sure you need all the event listeners

[fathom frost]

ok ty for your help

Wait wait wait!!

[cinder patio]

yeah?

[fathom frost]

If I use emitter.setMaxListeners() i can make more events?

[cinder patio]

yes, but like I said, use it only if you are sure you need the event listeners

[fathom frost]

oh ok

[cinder patio]

It's better to just show us where you define your listeners

So we can find where all those listeners get created from

[fathom frost]

wait

Let me try one thing

And if doesnt work

🏃‍♂️

Um wait...

@cinder patio If I create a lot of commands in just one event, that would help, right?

[cinder patio]

of course

Are you creating a new message event for each command?

You should use only one message event

[surreal sapphire]

Oç

Amk

Piç

[cinder patio]

on("message", message => {
   switch(message.content) {
     case "~help": ... 
     case "~defef": ...
     //etc
}
}

[summer torrent]

@flat pelican

[cinder patio]

You can also use a command handler, which is cleaner than switch statements

[sudden geyser]

and allows for arguments

[fathom frost]

me realising im very dumb

[wide wharf]

  if (message.content.toLowerCase().startsWith(prefix + "avatar")) {
    const embed = new Discord.RichEmbed()
      .setTitle("Your Avatar")
      .setAuthor("Its_IsmailZ#8826", "https://cdn.discordapp.com/avatars/643091174243958814/9ec6fc0169e8c4658d87765b1d663efe.png?size=128")
      .setColor(0x00AE86)
      .setDescription("Your Avatar")
      .setImage(message.author.avatarURL)
      .setTimestamp() 
  message.channel.send({embed});
``` Why doesn't this work?

[sudden geyser]

avatarURL is a method.

[wide wharf]

and how to fix?

[cinder patio]

call it

[umbral zealot]

It's a function.

like, y'know, ()

[wide wharf]

method or function?

[sudden geyser]

You call it: https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/User?scrollTo=avatarURL

[umbral zealot]

it's the same thing

[crystal wigeon]

hey umm

[umbral zealot]

A method is a function in a class.

[crimson vapor]

can we get a stackoverflow post on how to call a function

I think thats needed

[crystal wigeon]

how would you find out if an object is being stored outside of heap that doesnt get garbage collected?

how do you identity these

[fierce ether]

any idea why it dosent find the nested property? return member[values] if values is "plugins.verified"?

[crystal wigeon]

global variables? i doubt

[earnest phoenix]

.RichEmbed?

I believe thats not a thing.

[sudden geyser]

Like shouldn't Ismail have received a noisy error detailing what went wrong

[summer torrent]

is that v11 guy

[wide wharf]

idk I got the code from a site lol (I edited a bit)

I'm new...

[edgy tapir]

how to check if a guild member can receive dm's?

[wide wharf]

yes should I send it?

[earnest phoenix]

try catch dm them.

[sudden geyser]

Why would you want to identify these? That doesn't sound like something you should be handling

[summer torrent]

send dm and catch errors

[cinder patio]

It's one of the common reasons for memory leaks

But it's not "stored outside of the heap"

[sudden geyser]

Don't debuggers like Node.js' default one already show this

It just doesn't get sweeped by the garbage collector because there's an object pointing to it

[sudden geyser]

Error #1: RichEmbed is not a thing anymore. Poof!

You're probably looking for MessageEmbed.

[wide wharf]

But how to fix it?

[sudden geyser]

In fact a lot of your code is based on v11 conventions.

[edgy tapir]

It's Discord.MessageEmbed() in discord.js v12

u should read the docs

[pale vessel]

erwin be like

[wide wharf]

So just change RichEmbed with MessageEmbed?

[edgy tapir]

Yes

[wide wharf]

ok

thx

[umbral zealot]

You should probably read https://discordjs.guide/additional-info/changes-in-v12.html

[sudden geyser]

There's a detailed article on all the changes in between versions: https://discordjs.guide/additional-info/changes-in-v12.html

dang it

beat me to it

[pale vessel]

jinx

i be like

[safe creek]

lol

[wide wharf]

Is there any message.author.name or message.author.tag r smth?

[pale vessel]

yea

username and tag

[wide wharf]

okay ty

[edgy tapir]

how to make the bot ignore a specific id ? like if(member.id == " ") ignore or smth like that

[cinder patio]

check if the ids are the same, and if they are just return

[edgy tapir]

if i return the command will stop and i don't want that, i just want the bot to continue executing the command for other members ( i make an announcement command for my yt videos and i want the bot to send a message to a member like every 10 seconds )

[sudden geyser]

Are you DMing every member

[edgy tapir]

yes, i know that if i do this at a certain amount of time it does not break the tos

[sudden geyser]

No, you shouldn't be doing it in general.

[edgy tapir]

Even if i'm the only 1 who has acces on the command ? i had some other bots with this command included and there was not any problem

[sudden geyser]

Instead, how about using @ everyone or @ here (since you want to message a number of users)

[boreal iron]

If you don’t wanna return the function then execute your code if the statement is true

if(member.id != "12345")
{
doEvilShit();
}

[edgy tapir]

i got my members attention faster with a dm but fine, i'll do with everyone

[sudden geyser]

Yes, that's why developers like to DM instead. But you should use @ everyone instead. If you don't want a certain list of members from seeing those announcements, you can restrict their access to the channel you post it in (unless it's a channel with other stuff in it). Your issue from the start was probably using a raw loop and breaking (return) out of it, compared to something else like forEach or continue or doing what Fake said.

[wide wharf]

Uhm now NO command of my whole script work, except avatar (which works perfectly)...

The token isn't visible ig

lemme double check

ok it's safe

[lyric mountain]

just use hatebin.com smh

[wide wharf]

https://hatebin.com/ebincndrbm

[lyric mountain]

thx

[wide wharf]

"no u", "avatar" and "help" works

[lyric mountain]

ok, so first of all

wtf

[umbral zealot]

you're not closing the condition

the avatar command isn't "closed"

[lyric mountain]

two listeners too

[wide wharf]

ah k so what do I have to add? a ) or }

[edgy tapir]

}

[wide wharf]

okay ty all

[umbral zealot]

you would need to maybe learn javascript and proper syntax...

[edgy tapir]

facts

[wide wharf]

yesh I am new 😂

[umbral zealot]

Good reference for you: #development message

[wide wharf]

I started again with a new script all over again cus my old one had some bugs (prob a } forgotten)

[lyric mountain]

and you don't need those two lines in red

[wide wharf]

why not?

[lyric mountain]

and the part circled in blue could be put inside the earlier if check

[lyric mountain]

because you've already asserted user is not a bot, and you don't use prefix for anything there

also I don't think message.bot is a thing

[wide wharf]

ah k

[spare portal]

im trying to make a command that disables keyword responses for my bot, but the variable isn't changing

client.on('message',async msg => {
    const curServer = msg.guild.id;
    with(curServer) {
      serverToggle = true;
    }
[ ... ]
if (msg.content.toLowerCase() === ",,togglekeywords") {
    with(curServer) {
      serverToggle = !serverToggle;
      msg.channel.send(`${msg.guild.name} has keywords ${serverToggle}`)
      console.log(serverToggle);
    }
}

i want it to be its own setting for every server it's in, instead of having every server with the same setting, so that's why im trying to use curServer to get individual server IDs. is there an easier way to do this

[crimson vapor]

you should realistically be using a db for any settings but you can make a map, Map<guildID, boolean>

map.set(guild.id, true | false)
map.get(guild.id) // true or false or undefined```

[spare portal]

ah ok

[misty sigil]

bot dies

aw fuck my database was wiped

[crimson vapor]

yeah exactly

[regal jacinth]

can someone help me understands how channel position works
i tried to make the bot re-arrange the channels according to a dict
like

channel_positions = {channel_id: position_number}
for channel in ctx.guild.text_channels:
     position = channel_positions.get(channal.id)
     await channel.edit(position=position)```
but sometimes the positions don't get right
like the channel that supposed to be on top sometimes it goes down to middle or bottom
and when i check the positions of the channels with another command they get back to their original position

[latent heron]

i have no idea what you're trying to do

[regal jacinth]

re-arrange channels in a certain category

[latent heron]

alright so

how are you trying to re-arrange them

[regal jacinth]

i have a function that moves channels to a certain category if it's active
when it goes non-active it should go back to it's previous position but when i try to that it messes the other channels in the same category
so i am trying to re-arrange them

[regal jacinth]

using the code above -_-

[wispy holly]

quick.db gives this error:

not installing errors

[latent heron]

that's not what i meant

are you trying to arrange them as in sort them?

[wispy holly]

ı installed but when ı say node that gives error

[regal jacinth]

yeah
like
{channel1: 0, channel2: 1, channel3: 2} and etc

[latent heron]

so

here's how you can do it

[regal jacinth]

but sometimes they get messed up as channel1 goes to bottom or middle instead of top

[wispy holly]

quick.db says these:

when i say node command

help pls

[latent heron]

chs = []
c = 0
for ch in ctx.guild.text_channels:
  c += 1
  chs.append({ch.id: c})

return chs.sort()```

is this what you're trying to do?

[regal jacinth]

hmm

pretty much

[latent heron]

you'll have to access it like chs[0][id]

[regal jacinth]

but, it sometimes put the channel that's supposed to be on top at the bottom

that's my issue

[latent heron]

are you trying to sort by c or by ch.id

the above method will only sort by ch.id

[regal jacinth]

channel_positions = db.get().val()
for channel in ctx.guild.text_channels:
     position = channel_positions.get(channal.id)
     await channel.edit(position=position)```

like this

it's a dict where i get the channel_position from the database

[latent heron]

can i see what channel_positions outputs?

[regal jacinth]

okay lemme print it

OrderedDict([('718842573426524200', 101), ('718842591902302218', 103), ('718842604912902174', 104), ('718842619131854878', 106), ('718842629315362836', 107), ('718884729658802186', 102), ('720093709227786290', 108), ('804699003585167400', 105)])```
here they are, the position starts from `101`
they get back to their normal positions which is `19` ig
i suppose channels have to fill the gaps or smth

@latent heron

[latent heron]

so the 2nd value in the lists is what you want to sort by, correct?

[tired panther]

https://www.npmjs.com/package/ms
Does anyone no a good alternative to this package, which does not rounds the number?

[latent heron]

ohh you're working with a DB table

at that point there's no point trying to sort by the 2nd

[cinder patio]

Can't you round it yourself?

[latent heron]

just run .sort() when you append the whole list by the position it shares in the Database

that will solve your problem

[tired panther]

it should not round. It rounds up 1h 30 min in "2h" 😦

[cinder patio]

oh I misread the question

[lyric mountain]

well, you gotta split it

[latent heron]

JS i think rounds up by default

[regal jacinth]

okay i will try

[cinder patio]

ms does that?

yeah you can't input things like that

either 1h or 30m

[latent heron]

you can't do half

you need to handle both separately

[lyric mountain]

1.5h

but it's gross

[cinder patio]

and kinda hard to parse

[tired panther]

does to much npm packages make my bot slow?

[cinder patio]

easier to just split by an empty space

[tired panther]

ms in human

[cinder patio]

depends on the npm packages you're using

[lyric mountain]

that's from ms lib

nonetheless, just split by space after letter

(?=[a-zA-Z])\s

[tired panther]

the problem is transfering it back in , let it rounds it up

[lyric mountain]

no

if you split it that way just process every part separately

then sum everything afterwards

if you input 1h 30m it'll become ['1h', '30m']

[tired panther]

but when the usr pass 2hours 20 minutes?!

[lyric mountain]

it'll become ['2hours', '20 minutes']

that regex will only split if there's a space preceded by a letter

[tired panther]

when not?

2h30m , will the regex check to?

[lyric mountain]

it'll not split

I'll not give you a "fit all" regex

I gave you the base to it

adjust it to your needs

[tired panther]

ok will^^

You forgot the `` in the ()

@dusky harness

[earnest phoenix]

this should work?

[lyric mountain]

show remaining code

[earnest phoenix]

me?

[lyric mountain]

yes

[merry grove]

It should be

message.reply(`Üye başarıyla atıldı ${user.tag}`);

@dusky harness Try that

[earnest phoenix]

 let triggerarray, triggertypearray, tokenarray, filenamearray =[];
data.forEach(element => {
console.log(element.trigger) //outputs valid
triggerarray.push(String("`"+element.trigger+"`"))           triggertypearray.push(String("`"+element.triggertype.replace("word","message").replace("join","join/leave")+"`"))
tokenarray.push(String("`"+element.token+"`"))
filenamearray.push(String("`"+element.filename+"`"))
            });

[lyric mountain]

lemme format that properly

let triggerarray, triggertypearray, tokenarray, filenamearray = [];
data.forEach(element => {
    console.log(element.trigger) //outputs valid
    triggerarray.push(String("`" + element.trigger + "`"))
    triggertypearray.push(String("`" + element.triggertype.replace("word", "message").replace("join", "join/leave") + "`"))
    tokenarray.push(String("`" + element.token + "`"))
    filenamearray.push(String("`" + element.filename + "`"))
});

hm, huge variable names, just a sec

let triggers, types, tokens, files = [];
data.forEach(element => {
    console.log(element.trigger) //outputs valid
    triggers.push(String("`" + element.trigger + "`"))
    types.push(String("`" + element.triggertype.replace("word", "message").replace("join", "join/leave") + "`"))
    tokens.push(String("`" + element.token + "`"))
    files.push(String("`" + element.filename + "`"))
});

much better

first of all, switch forEach to a normal for call

[earnest phoenix]

okay

[lyric mountain]

second, do you really need String()?

[earnest phoenix]

i just use it to test if it works

[lyric mountain]

remove them

[earnest phoenix]

same error Cannot read property 'push' of undefined
i am trying with normal for

[lyric mountain]

ah, true

let triggers = types = tokens = files = [];

try that

[crystal wigeon]

i mean, its causing memory leaks and my app crashes after an hour

[earnest phoenix]

❤️ thx

[sudden geyser]

A debugger is probably more reliable in this instance.

[earnest phoenix]

embed inline why is the last

[lyric mountain]

inline: false

[opal plank]

max 3 per inline too

[earnest phoenix]

oh thx for the info

now it looks better

[crystal wigeon]

Guys ı need help my music bot is not workng that always says u must ente a voice channel but ı was already in the voice channel why?

[craggy pine]

doesn't help if you don't provide your code.

[wispy holly]

thats a radio command

hhere

[tired panther]

const moment = require("moment");
require('moment-duration-format');
const ms = function(value){return moment.duration(value, "milliseconds").format("d[d] h[h] m[m]")}
``` When I parse the time with ms(value) . it gives me 8h 0m, how can I remove the 0?

[solemn latch]

7kb radio command 👀

[tired panther]

lol, hmmm......nah no time to check

[shy turret]

im trying to play with numbers but 276497792526974996 == 276497792526975000...

how do i fix this

[tired panther]

copying code and do not knowing, what the code means

[tired panther]

=== use this

[solemn latch]

looks like the code is for v11 too

not v12

[crimson vapor]

thats just how js does numbers @shy turret, you can use strings tho

[tired panther]

and use ""

"4568790675467890"

[shy turret]

doesnt work

well

[solemn latch]

because they are ints

use strings

[shy turret]

i want to detect if it's a valid snowflake

[solemn latch]

JavaScript numbers cannot be as large as snowflakes need to be so it has to be a string

[shy turret]

is there a way to detect a valid snowflake?

[solemn latch]

other than length, and checking if the snowflake has a valid timestamp, i dont think so

its a combination of a few things

not just date

[crimson vapor]

@quartz kindle why join and leave like that

[quartz kindle]

accident

[crimson vapor]

oh

lmao

[solemn latch]

https://woo.pics/images/0512694611.png

haha i suffer

[tired panther]

any idea xD?

[zenith terrace]

@solemn latch

[solemn latch]

hihi

[zenith terrace]

im getting ez karma rn on reddit

wait this is development

[solemn latch]

developing reddit

reddit account*

[zenith terrace]

lol

[earnest phoenix]

how would i add a space

between the two fields?

sorry im new to coding

[tired panther]

Is this Discord or Web coding?

[earnest phoenix]

thats discord

i just use better discord

[tired panther]

Better DIscord

[tired panther]

wanted to say

[umbral zealot]

I hope you know BD is against the discord terms of service, right?

[earnest phoenix]

wait what

[umbral zealot]

as in, could potentially get you banned for using it

[earnest phoenix]

oop im deleting rn i rly didnt know

[umbral zealot]

"Modifying the discord client" is against the ToS, and that's what betterdiscord does.

[earnest phoenix]

oh i didnt know im sorry ill change it rn

[tired panther]

[slender thistle]

Best bet is to not do use inline fields

[slender thistle]

Can't have customizable spaces

[earnest phoenix]

should i just add an empty addfeild?

[tired panther]

hmmm......

[slender thistle]

I doubt that will help

But, I mean

You'll have to use zero-width-space character for both field name and value for that

[tired panther]

whats the !, did not ever see the ! as option

[earnest phoenix]

oh i wanted it to add an ! after the mention

i thought it would work

[lyric mountain]

it'll add a crater to the embed

[slender thistle]

You'll have to do it via template strings instead

[earnest phoenix]

now this happens after adding emty field

[earnest phoenix]

whats that

[lyric mountain]

you can't leave it empty

[slender thistle]

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Template_literals

[lyric mountain]

you gotta put two strings in it

[tired panther]

.addField("He loved:" , target + "!", true)

[slender thistle]

or that

[tired panther]

@earnest phoenix

you can bold it with **!**

[earnest phoenix]

ok thx\

[safe creek]

how would i keep staying motivated when i feel quite unmotivated

[edgy tapir]

const embed = new MessageEmbed()
            .setColor("GREEN")

            .setTimestamp();

        const m = await message.channel.send(embed);


        await m.clearReactions();

m.clearReactions is not a function

clearReaction was also changed in v12?

[cinder patio]

it's reactions.clear

afaik

[edgy tapir]

🤨

Ok, i'll try

[cinder patio]

No

[quartz kindle]

i dont remember clearReactions ever being a thing

[cinder patio]

it's actually .removeAll

[tired panther]

yes alol

[edgy tapir]

then i'm dumb xD

[tired panther]

msg.reactions.removeAll().catch(e =>null);

@edgy tapir

[edgy tapir]

Ty

[earnest phoenix]

dosent work

[tired panther]

I spoonfeed to much lol

[tired panther]

@earnest phoenix use this

[lyric mountain]

.addField("", "")

note, this WILL put a hole in your embed

[earnest phoenix]

that dosent add a line break, and it removes the mention as well

[tired panther]

yes lol xD, imagine button for embeds

[lyric mountain]

button?

[tired panther]

youcan use <@${target}>

[tired panther]

inbuilt buttons embed, as a new feature, that would be insane

[cinder patio]

That's a planned feature

[lyric mountain]

not embeds tho, they'll make a form-like feature

[tired panther]

really , lol

[lyric mountain]

and client-side messages

[tired panther]

oh,

are there already sneakpeaks ?

[lyric mountain]

only a poor af demo they made

i want a link break between the two fields

[lyric mountain]

just set both to inline: false

if there're only 2 fields

[craggy pine]

true, that comma isn't needed I'm pretty certain

?

what was written?

gtranslate couldn't tell me

[craggy pine]

idk I told parm tho

[scenic kelp]

no clue

[earnest phoenix]

so there is no way to add a link break between fields

[lyric mountain]

set inline to false

see my last image

[earnest phoenix]

wdym?

[craggy pine]

if you don't want them next to each other do "false"

[earnest phoenix]

ok

[earnest phoenix]

instead of true?

[craggy pine]

.addField('I hope he loves you forever! I am wishing you a wondeful day!', target, true) <-- false

for both

[earnest phoenix]

oh ok let me try

[tired panther]

you can leave it out , default is false

[craggy pine]

ah good 2 no

[tired panther]

.addField('I hope he loves you forever! I am wishing you a wondeful day!', target)

[craggy pine]

I always define true / false

I can remove some un needed words then in my own stuff

[tired panther]

lol, thats use less code xD

[lyric mountain]

ah, yes, seems legit

[tired panther]

lol

[earnest phoenix]

OMG IT WORKED

THANKS SO MUCH

[lyric mountain]

TIL gtranslate sucks at arabic

 if (typeof options !== 'object') return Promise.reject(new TypeError('INVALID_TYPE', 'options', 'object', true));
                                                           ^

TypeError [INVALID_TYPE]: Supplied options is not an object.

What does this mean ? 🤨

[quartz kindle]

it means you didnt give it an object

[earnest phoenix]

message.members.permissions.has

is this correct?

[edgy tapir]

message.member*

[earnest phoenix]

lel thx

a typo

[agile steppe]

i bought a ovh vps but idk how to run 24/7 my bot there

[solemn latch]

use a process manager

[agile steppe]

Process manager?

[solemn latch]

manages processes

[agile steppe]

Like MobaXterm?

[quartz kindle]

thats a terminal

[tawny cosmos]

How is everything with you guys in here I know I've been away for a couple of hours I'm just going over services policies

[agile steppe]

Ahh

[agile steppe]

what process manager should i use?

[quartz kindle]

a terminal is used to connect to the vps and run commands on it

[tawny cosmos]

And how could I maintain the safety for the rest of you guys in here that's all just doing the right thing

[quartz kindle]

a process manager is something that you can run with a command, and it keeps running even after you close the terminal

[agile steppe]

Ahh

what one should i use

[quartz kindle]

a popular process manager for node.js bots is pm2

also works for python

[lyric mountain]

you what?

[quartz kindle]

lmao wat

[agile steppe]

Oh ty

[agile steppe]

umm

[lyric mountain]

it needs access to that

sudo it

[agile steppe]

hmm how xD it has been a lot time since i dd this

[lyric mountain]

sudo npm i -g pm2

[agile steppe]

now it worked thank you

[agile steppe]

Yay now its hosted Thank you Kuu and Tim

[solemn latch]

its a good idea to read about pm2, theres a few things about it that knowing how it works helps.

for example, you must manually configure it for restarting automatically on reboot.

or auto restarting when you push new files to the folder

[edgy tapir]

throw new DiscordAPIError(request.path, data, request.method, res.status);
^

DiscordAPIError: Invalid Form Body

What could cause this ?

[umbral zealot]

what`s your code?

[edgy tapir]

wait

https://pastebin.com/sd2FPzQd

so i;m trying to make a report bug command, and the bot will send me the bug

[lyric mountain]

what's up with that formatting?

[edgy tapir]

wdym ?

oh

idk

i was just messing up with embeds

=))

i kinda like that format

[lyric mountain]

well, my guess is that you're passing wrong data to some field

check the docs

[edgy tapir]

ok

[umbral igloo]

I'm a new bot developer, and am trying to access the names of all channels that the bot has access to in my testing server. I am using the discord.js interface, but cannot figure out how to list the names of the channels. I've looked up a few pages on the discord.js guide and some reddit / stackoverflow posts, but cannot figure this out.

Does anyone have any tips?

[slender thistle]

First you would need to get the guild object of your testing server

[umbral igloo]

I've gotten it.

At least I would hope I have.

[tiny quartz]

uhhh try looping over all the channels and checking if you have permissions in that channe;

*channel

you should able to get the channels of each type

like all text channels

and all voice channels

[umbral igloo]

That was the last thing I checked, but it said that the channels were not iterable.

[tiny quartz]

uhhh

i dont do JS i do py

but you could send that snippet?

wait

actually

found something

[umbral igloo]

const Guild = await client.guilds.fetch("812507862030614538");
        Guild.channels.forEach(channel => {
          if(channel.permissionsFor(message.author).has('VIEW_CHANNEL')) listedChannels.push(channel.name);
        });
        message.channel.send(`You have access to: ${listedChannels.join(', ')}`);
``````txt
TypeError: Guild.channels.forEach is not a function

[tiny quartz]

var textChats = message.guild.channels.cache
        .filter((ch) => ch.type === 'text' && ch.topic === 'volturnbot')
        .array()

try that

for you you can remove the message. I believe

[quartz kindle]

guild.channels is a ChannelManager object, not the channel list itself

the actual list its accessible via the .cache property

guild.channels.cache

[umbral igloo]

Ah

[umbral igloo]

That worked

Thanks

I just started with js last night.

So this interface is very confusing to me.

[quartz kindle]

you're already doing a lot better than most people who ask for help here

lmao

[lyric mountain]

just a tip: halt bot development and try to become more familiar with the language itself

[umbral igloo]

I'm native to C++ and lua

[quartz kindle]

ah cool

[lyric mountain]

there are discord libs for both btw

[quartz kindle]

if you're comfortable with c++, you could try getting straight into typescript

its kind of a javascript framework/superset with strict typing

that compiles to js

[lyric mountain]

aka javascript but done right

[umbral igloo]

lol

I'll check it out.

[lyric mountain]

non-typed was an error right from the start

[umbral igloo]

Is there an introductory video to how TypeScript works somewhere?

[quartz kindle]

lmao

should be plenty of them

its very popular

[umbral igloo]

I see.

Just looked it up.

On another note, are users cached to the bot's <client>.users.cache as soon as they join?

Or do I have to do something special here.

[quartz kindle]

not exactly

recently discord applied new measures to protect users and members from bot scrapping

if you dont have the "guild members" nor the "presences" intents enabled in your developer portal, you will only see users after they interact with discord

offline and inactive users wont be available from the start

you can individually obtain them whenever you need them

but you cant obtain them in mass, you are limited to 100 members per request

if you have "presences" enabled in your dev portal, then you will additionally see all online members, even if innactive

and you will obtain them as they come online

[umbral igloo]

I'm in my dev portal, where can I find intents?

[quartz kindle]

if you have the "guild members" intent, then you will be able to get all members from a single guild at once

and optionally do it for all guilds at startup

should be under your "bot" section

privileged intents

[umbral igloo]

found it, thanks

[quartz kindle]

although beweare

users and members cost a lot of memory

[umbral igloo]

If I'm just using these intents to loop through members, would that be intensive?

[quartz kindle]

yes

[umbral igloo]

I see.

[quartz kindle]

you need them all cached, aka downloaded, to be able to loop through them

they dont take up much space by themselves, but they quickly amount to a lot of memory when your bot joins a few large guilds

[umbral igloo]

Is there a way to skip the caching, but still store the IDs of members to say a JSON file array?

[quartz kindle]

you can do that yes

[umbral igloo]

can I still interact with users without caching?

[quartz kindle]

the fetch method allows you to prevent caching them

guild.members.fetch({cache:false})

[umbral igloo]

does that fetch the entire array of members?

or just one member

[quartz kindle]

if you dont specify an id, it will fetch all of them

[umbral igloo]

ah, I was under the impression that fetch required an id.

that's helpful

[quartz kindle]

you can find more info here

https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/GuildMemberManager?scrollTo=fetch

[umbral igloo]

Ah, this fetch has different parameters than a user/channel fetch.

[quartz kindle]

yup

[umbral igloo]

So many things to learn lol. Time will tell I guess.

Thanks for the help, I definitely gained some insight here.

[tawny cosmos]

So many things to learn yes I'm coming to school here to advance in my coding and people skills

I would like to talk to some of you guys personally for tutor or not

I just signed up for classes myself and I'm looking for healthy and positive relationships during this growth in school

[quartz kindle]

cool

[solemn leaf]

What would be the best way to store data for getting top message sends and reacters in a channel

[solemn latch]

i would just have a counter for each user for each message sent, or reacted to, then just sort it

[solemn leaf]

so say like I did

channelid, messagcount, reactcount, user

is that what you had in mind

[solemn latch]

yeah that works,
I would do a shared primary key(if your db supports it) between userid and channelid so you can have multiple of each

[solemn leaf]

{
"channel_1": [
"user: {msgcnt, reactcnt}",
"user2: {msgcnt, reactcnt}",
],
"channel_2": []
}

what if I did something like that

[solemn latch]

json db? 👀

[solemn leaf]

no

an example I will ahve in my db lol

[lyric mountain]

kinda sus tho

[solemn latch]

mongodb doesnt support composite keys?

[solemn leaf]

IM not gonna use mongo

[solemn latch]

oh i wasnt suggesting it

[lyric mountain]

sql then?

[solemn leaf]

yes

[solemn latch]

i just was looking it up out of curiosity

[lyric mountain]

why tf u example a sql table with json?

[solemn leaf]

idk

[lyric mountain]

just use two tables then, one for user and one for channel, msgs and reactions

1 ----< N

[solemn latch]

i still suggest compound keys

so it all goes in one table

[lyric mountain]

compount keys in sql are a nono

[solemn latch]

since when 👀

[lyric mountain]

since sql convention rules

[solemn leaf]

channel: { messages: { aki: number }, reacts: { aki: number } }

can I do something like that

[lyric mountain]

don't remember the exact number

maybe it was 2 or 3

[solemn latch]

everyone seems to say its fine online

[pallid quail]

"Data should depend on the key, the whole key, and nothing but the key, so help me Codd"

which I think means BCNF 2 for "the whole key"

[solemn leaf]

should I make the channel id the key

that counds like a good idea

[sterile lantern]

i forgot what this was called, but what's the function to make fiSheR into fisher

i think it was to lowercase

and can you do that to an arrya

array*

[nimble kiln]

.toLowerCase()

maybe?

[sterile lantern]

e.g: let array1 = .toLowerCase(['array1'])

ima try

[nimble kiln]

I guess it's only for strings?

[sterile lantern]

oh

ripp

[pallid quail]

I think you want MEMBER_ROLE_UPDATE

[sterile lantern]

essentially, i have an array:
let array = ['Fishing Pole', 'Laptop']
then i check if args[0] includes any choices from array, but i want laptop to be acceptable

[nimble kiln]

console.log(words);```

Maybe that

[sterile lantern]

oh

that works

thanks

[nimble kiln]

Or if you loop through the array

you could do array[i].toLowerCase() I guess?

But if my other code snippet works, good 😄

[sterile lantern]

Wait, but lAptOp doesn't work

hmm

i want like any args they say to be lowercased

[nimble kiln]

How are you checking if your word is in the array?

[sterile lantern]

oh wait i can just lowercase their args

if(!validitems.includes(args[0])) {```

[pallid quail]

you could also do the other way around, make array = ['fishing pole', 'laptop'] and then check if it contains arg.toLowerCase()

[nimble kiln]

ok yeah saving the validitems lowercase

and lowercasing the args is probably the smart way

[sterile lantern]

if(!validitems.includes(args[0].toLowerCase)) {```

this doesnt work
