modern granite
Why do I get this every 5 minutes
Tho I don't have such a guild id in the json file
modern granite
And that KeyError: Numbers are random every time
vivid fulcrum
stop using json as your db
modern granite
Bruh
earnest phoenix
Tho I don't have such a guild id in the json file
that's exactly why it errored
modern granite
That was not the question
modern granite
that's exactly why it errored
?
earnest phoenix
when someone sends a message on a guild which its id isn't in the json, it'll raise that error.
umbral zealot
Agreed. You shouldn't use json as a database.

@umbral zealot when i try changing the prefix of my server, i get this error
The key "820395515698085950" does not exist in the enmap "settings"

I don't say its good, ok?

you're missing an ensure() or set()

Yeah ok but when you lose your entire file and all your prefixes, that'll be your fault

you're missing an ensure() or set()
what do i need to ensure

Autoensure not working is... weird.
umbral zealot
bot.settings.ensure(message.guild.id, {
prefix: "g.",
welcomeChannel: "welcome",
welcomeMessage: "Grelle Sutcliff greets {{user}}, welcome to the server!"
})
basically
but autoEnsure not working is very strange.
earnest phoenix
oh
earnest phoenix
@umbral zealot now i get this warning WARNING: Saving "820395515698085950" autoEnsure value was provided for this enmap but a default value has also been provided. The defaultValue will be ignored, autoEnsure value is used instead. along with the same error as before
umbral zealot
ok I'm really confused now 
earnest phoenix
maybe i didnt put it in the right spot
umbral zealot
Are you sure you only have one enmap?
earnest phoenix
yes
umbral zealot
then that's real weird, it means autoEnsure is working but at the same time now
I'll have to take a look at this as a bug but unfortunately I'm at work right now and don't have time to look at such a complex problem
earnest phoenix
are you sure there cant be any other reason?
also i want to make sure, did i do this right? const [prefix, value] = args;
@umbral zealot
umbral zealot
that looks right, yes
earnest phoenix
okay what about this, are there any errors here? ``` if(command === "setprefix" && message.member.hasPermission("ADMINISTRATOR")) {

somehow I don't even think you should have that at all, tbh.

you aren't providing nearly enough context for me to answer that question

can you show the full error stack on that
tulip ledge
no, my friend told me it'd be good as I'd use less ram
umbral zealot
that's... wrong
earnest phoenix
can you show the full error stack on that
bot.settings.set(message.guild.id, value.join(" "), prefix) do you mean this?
umbral zealot
no I meant the full stack, but clearly value is undefined here
umbral zealot
no, my friend told me it'd be good as I'd use less ram
You won't be using less ram by threading your process. You'll be using more.
earnest phoenix
const [prefix, value] = args;
bot.settings.set(message.guild.id, value.join(" "), prefix)
.catch(console.error);
message.channel.send(`The prefix for this server has been changed to \`${value.join(" ")}\``);
return;
}```well, this means you only provided one argument.
tulip ledge
so why is threading a good thing then?
lyric mountain
threading in js
umbral zealot
so why is threading a good thing then?
Threading is only good if you actually need to use the power from multiple CPUs, because your single thread is taking the entire CPU and you need to take advantage of multiple cores. That's usually not necessary for small-ish projects, even medium sized ones.
if you were doing image processing for example, you might consider that. Or extremely large mathematical or data analysis.
But, like, an unsharded bot with a database? Nobody needs threading for that.
tulip ledge
alright tyvm
earnest phoenix
well, this means you only provided one argument.
g.setprefix - thats what i sent, how is that only one argument
umbral zealot
well ok so why are you expecting value to be a thing then
prefix is "-" but value is undefined.
I think maybe you're a little confused.
earnest phoenix
the command itself doesnt count as an argument?
umbral zealot
it doesn't, no.
earnest phoenix
oh
umbral zealot
set(key, value, path) , path should be a string, btw. not prefix but 'prefix'
since you want to change the prefix path
So, set(message.guild.id, "%", "prefix") for example, would modify the prefix for that guild to "%"
onyx hare
im stressing over something that could be a easy fix but me being me is blinded to it my avatar line doesn't display the img just the URL how do i get it to show the IMG instead of the URL? ive tried removing URL from the call but it goesd "displayAvatar is not a function"
let av = member.user.displayAvatarURL({ format: "png"})
let memberCount = member.guild.members.cache.filter(member => !member.user.bot).size;
let rules = "800870206427627541" //Channel ID Here
const welcomeEmbed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
welcomeEmbed.setColor('GREEN')
welcomeEmbed.setAuthor(av)
earnest phoenix
So, `set(message.guild.id, "%", "prefix")` for example, would modify the prefix ...
well, i want the command to change prefix for that guild, so i cant have the value be fixed like that, right?
umbral zealot
your "value" is prefix in this case, the variable
or, args[0], basically
think about const [ prefix ] = args; as doing const prefix = args[0]; or in this case, say, const prefix = "%";
So prefix, the variable, contains a string that is your prefix value.
you don't need any other variable for this to work, that one is sufficient.
umbral zealot
you want to change the prefix, don't you?
umbral zealot
no
ok look
const settings = {
prefix: "$",
welcomeMessage: "Hi, welcome",
}
This is an object
prefix: "$" is a key in that object
tulip ledge
im stressing over something that could be a easy fix but me being me is blinded ...
embed.setThumbnail?
earnest phoenix
yeah
umbral zealot
ok, so, your path is "prefix"
your value is the new prefix you want to set
and that new prefix is in the variable called prefix
let's change your code to be a bit clearer. ```js
if(command === "setprefix" && message.member.hasPermission("ADMINISTRATOR")) {
const newPrefix = args[0];
bot.settings.set(message.guild.id, newPrefix , "prefix");
message.channel.send(`The prefix for this server has been changed to \`${prefix}\``);
return;
}
does that make more sense now?
earnest phoenix
const [prefix, value] = args;
bot.settings.set(message.guild.id, prefix, "prefix");
message.channel.send(`The prefix for this server has been changed to \`${prefix}\``);
return;
}``` this should work, no?yes, but value is still undefined here so it's not useful to have it at all
tulip ledge
no, you only need 1 argument, wich is the new prefix
onyx hare
embed.setThumbnail?
tht worked... i was to focused on why it wouldnt img to try tht

tulip ledge
glad it worked 🙂

but like
why?
you'll never be able to be on par with anime releases
let alone with 1% listed anime
tulip ledge
Guess you could do:
let name = args[0];
let index = animeList.filter(anime => {
Object.values(anime.names).includes(name)
})
let anime = animeList[index];
// Build your embed
@dusky lagoon

holy hell no

lyric mountain
just use an object of objects instead of an array
tulip ledge
but wasn't he using an array

const guildConfig = bot.settings.get(message.guild.id);

umbral zealot
looks good. Can you maybe log guildConfig and make sure you get the right prefix? that could help debug the issue

Your way to learn coding is to be a help vampire and get everyone else to code for you?
boreal iron
but you don't actually learn to code by asking others how it works, you need to know the basics almost to understand more complex structures

this is my way to learn coding though

yeah i admit, its probably one of the worst ways to get into coding but i still learn a lot and believe it or not but a majority of the coding i do i figure out myself, its just in instances like these where theres a complete new set of structures that i havent really worked with before i get help, take in the information, then in the future i minimize my mistakes and i can handle more on my own

Now, in all those scenarios, it's possible to get through with proper training... Which, usually, requires you to pay the trainer

ok so "take in the information" from proper online classes
we're here to guide you and help you, not handhold you every step of the way.
And right now, you need to be guided to an appropriate online course so you learn the basics.

I feel I've heard that "I figure out myself" before
umbral zealot
yeah right now you're not figuring out anything yourself. you're literally asking us to figure everything out for you
you're not self-learning, you're not handling things yourself, you're relying on us every minute to do things for you. That's not learning. That's being a help vampire. don't be that.

I need two servers running on my repl, one is the Hardhat Network local blockchain, the other is the actual server for my app. The problem is, I only have one node instance so running server code for one server blocks the other one and vice versa. I'm trying to use child_process to fix this but it ain't working:
const express = require("express");
const app = express();
const path = require("path");
const ethers = require("ethers");
const { execSync } = require("child_process");
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, "frontend")));
const listener = app.listen(process.env.PORT, () => {
console.log(`Listening on port ${listener.address().port}`);
console.log(`Starting hardhat network on port 8585`);
execSync("npm start");
console.log(`Deploying contract Box.sol`);
execSync("npm run deploy");
});
Is there a way to run two node processes alongside each other so one doesn't block the other?

You're trying to run a blockchain on repl.it?

}``` Ok so this code sends a information that i want to find in a .json file lthat is connected to a string like `$help avatar` and send info about avatar But it only works with 1 word not when the name is 2 words how can i fix it i maybe thought with a args
odd stratus
Most cases you can use args.join(' ') for that
dusky lagoon
but in what way because you can use args for multiple reasons
dusky lagoon
Ok so name is a string lets say $help kill then in this case kill is name
and it works but only with names that consist of 1 word
cinder patio
you'll need pass the rest of the args to the function
are you using your own command handler or a framework?
cinder patio
well then pass all args to the run function, not only the first argument
and then do what Mihimur said

the actual docs for it instead of copy & pasting code: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client.change_presence

I can't seem to get rid of the Missing Permissions error that floods the entire console.
400 errors an hour.
boreal iron
well handle them and supress them
not needed to get informed about missing permissions
feral aspen
I did this.
let commandfile = bot.commands.get(cmd) || bot.commands.get(bot.aliases.get(cmd));
if(commandfile) try {
await commandfile.run(bot, message, args);
} catch (error) {
console.log(error);
};
that's absolutly no what I was talking about
handle the errors and sort out permission errors
console.log(error); prints all errors to the console
there's no handling
feral aspen
How do you want me to handle this, then?
I did this.
Every command has this line if(!message.guild.me.hasPermission(["SEND_MESSAGES", "EMBED_LINKS"])) return;
Every command has a try catch block when it wants to do an action such as adding roles or stuff.
Are the 400 errors, can it be from events?
boreal iron
it's an API response
the bot has no permissions to send a chat message for example, proves your permission doesn't work as it should
I am actually checking the permissions for the channel each message event
feral aspen
What can I do, instead.
boreal iron
not the whole guild, but I don't know if that even makes a difference
old cliff
Every command has this line `if(!message.guild.me.hasPermission(["SEND_MESSAGES"...
Permissions are for channels not guilds
boreal iron
I mean the bot could also miss "VIEW_CHANNEL" permission
oh there we go, you see
Permissions are for channels not guilds
old cliff
message.channel.permissionsFor(message.guild.me).has(['SEND_MESSAGES'])
Its something similar
Check the docs
boreal iron
shouldn't it be message.channel.permissionsFor()
old cliff
Typo
feral aspen
So, to get rid of the missing permissions, I should do what exactly, in summary, just to start working
old cliff
Change your methods
boreal iron
get rid of checking guild permissions
the bot needs permissions in the ACTUAL channel
boreal iron
message.channel.permissionsFor(message.guild.me).has(['SEND_MESSAGES'])

if I would recommend something to a beginner, than rent a managed server

the thing is most beginner cant afford a Managed Server
they can easy go for 40-60$/month

aye which doesn't change the fact of being a god damn huge security risk for any network or hoster
I know why it's been recommended to anyone in here but just to say it's a horrible suggestion tho

then give a solution lol, there are no cheap managed Servers that are around 3-7$/Month
i guess a safer way would be giving them a Docker Container with only one or two ports open to hack around
but they are a bit limited again

never said it's cheap but throwing more and more security risks into public networks can't be a justified reason just because of an expensive price

i had 0 experience with linux over ssh when i rented my first vps
learn as you go is the best way, dont scare newcomers into not renting a vps for the first time out of fear

I don't, just wanted to state it might be a good idea to INFORM the user about the responsibilities and concequenses
lusty quest
but yea, if you start with Linux, one of the first things you should learn is securing the server
boreal iron
not just suggesting something without proper info
lusty quest
well not only linux but windows is kinda holding the hand a bit already
boreal iron
that's not really different to Windows servers
yeah
permanent scans for opened up RDP port and brute force attacks
quartz kindle
most OS images supplied by the host are already preconfigured with a bunch of stuff
boreal iron
that's right

but yeah its a good idea to look into stuff like fail2ban

my last server had only the update repos routed over theyre local caching the rest where barebones

but you wont get hacked in 5 minutes if you dont either

got VMs without an activated firewall, no matter ufw or itables, nothing was active or installed
just a system core
lusty quest
it wont happen instantly, if you are not at some shady hoster who got already all IPs listed somewhere in the darknet as easy to grab VPS
boreal iron
it wont happen instantly
it actually does
created my VMs on the root these days, being online for a few minutes and booms, the network log is growing
general sniffers for framework security risks, like WP etc., port listeners etc.
if anything was found it doesn't take long until automated attacks start
that's how it is today
just try it and open up a general service port, like RDP or MySQL and log the traffic

i actually know a guy who had one of the largest Botnets in Europe, idk why he stopped with it but i guess he got his reasons.

doesn't take long to scan all exisiting IPv4

So I have an array of users, each user has a dead property nwo I need to get the next user in line that isn't dead, the current user is being saved as this.turn how would I do this?
lusty quest
language?
tulip ledge
js
quartz kindle
if you have an array, you need to store the current index of the user
not the user itself
tulip ledge
setNextTurn() {
// Get index of the current turn player
let i = this.handler.players.findIndex((p) => p.user.id === this.turn);
// Set the turn to the next player in the array
this.turn = this.handler.players[i+1];
// If the player does not exist, set it back to player one.
if (!this.turn) this.turn = this.handler.players[0].user.id;
// If the player does exist, set the turn viarable to the users's ID.
else this.turn = this.turn.user.id;
// Get the player who's turn it is
let p = this.handler.players.find((p) => p.user.id === this.turn);
// If the player is dead, go back to square one (Back to the top of this method)
if (p.dead) this.setNextTurn();
}
We did this
lusty quest
would it help to just loop over the array and return the first key with the property that is not dead
quartz kindle
currentIndex = 55;
for(let i = currentIndex; i < array.length; i++) {
if(array[i].dead) {
currentIndex = i;
break;
}
}
if you are working with subsets of an array, findIndex is not efficient
because findIndex will process the full array, not only the relevant subset
with a for loop you can do the same thing but only in a subset of the array, starting from index X until index Y
quartz kindle
yeah its not bad

leaveChannel: '820395516226830369',
i have leaveChannel set to this channel id, and i find the id with this:
oldMember.guild.channels.cache.find(channel => channel.name === bot.settings.get(oldMember.guild.id, "leaveChannel")).send(leaveMessage);
but it doesnt work and i get an error saying send is undefined? however, when i find it by just replacing bot.settings.get(oldMember.guild.id, "leaveChannel") with '820395516226830369' which is practically the same thing, then it works just fine?
quartz kindle
because thats not how you get something
earnest phoenix
this is what it said in the docs?
quartz kindle
assuming bot.settings is a Map or a Collection
boreal iron
ahaha lmao, dig not installed on proxmox
vivid fulcrum
also that comparison
you're comparing names to ids
also
the docs explicitly say not to use find if you're looking up via the id
earnest phoenix
earnest phoenix
im using enmap
quartz kindle
then you should have said so lul
console.log(bot.settings.get(oldMember.guild.id, "leaveChannel"))
and see what it returns
lyric mountain
You need to return 2xx status
Else it'll retry up to 10 times
Read #site-status
earnest phoenix
ok
earnest phoenix
and see what it returns
it returns the id

If you remove this, it cannot possibly be running your commands.
Unless you have other code that runs your commands, of course.

exactly, but if I remove it and try to start a command from outside the module.exports it works

``` there are two commands in one name so `$anime` that sends a random anime and `$anime {name} to get info about the anime` only they send at the same time how do i fix it that when i say `$anime` it only sends a random anime and same for `$anime {name} to get info about the anime`And how are you defining client.commands and filling it with your commands? Can you also show us that?
I mean that looks like a shittier version of the AIG command handler but I'd still like to see.
