development

[boreal iron]

But as long as the client is part of the guild?

[earnest phoenix]

yeah

[boreal iron]

Even if he’s offline?

[earnest phoenix]

FFMPeg takes too long to install cuz it has too many dependencies

[pale vessel]

What do you mean by "locally"?

[spare badger]

@boreal iron It will work exactly like how a user can set its nickname in a guild. It will stay untill the user or the bot leaves the server.

Even when its offline

[boreal iron]

On the guild only, not for the application if it is a bot.

Alright

Thanks

[spare badger]

@earnest phoenix It's loading.

[earnest phoenix]

npm install @discordjs/opus all errorrs

[spare badger]

@earnest phoenix I think you are having the same issue as these guys in this thread: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/65896154/error-cannot-find-module-discordjs-opus

Try running npm install -g windows-build-tools first and then re-run the install command for @discordjs/opus

[earnest phoenix]

[spare badger]

I can't read anything here

[signal estuary]

Is there a fast way to give the user the possibility to use slash commands or normal commands with the prefix.
Because I dont want to rewrite all commands because its a lot of work:

client.on("ready", async () => {
    const creditCommand = await createCommand({
        name: "credits",
        description: "Zeigt die Credits des Botes"
    }, "808771611070038046")
});

async function createCommand(data, guildID){
    return await client.api.applications(client.user.id).guilds(guildID).commands.post({
        data: data
    })
}

client.ws.on("INTERACTION_CREATE", async (interaction) => {
    console.log(interaction)
    switch (interaction.data.name){
        case "command":
            await sendWaiting(interaction)
            await new discordjs.WebhookClient(client.user.id, interaction.token).send("outout")
            break
    }
})

function sendWaiting(interaction){
    client.api.interactions(interaction.id, interaction.token).callback.post({
        data: {
            type: 5
        }
    })
}

[woeful pike]

why are you guys installing ffmpeg through npm lmaoo

[latent heron]

ara

[earnest phoenix]

yt search done

[latent heron]

you're gonna have to rewrite them sorry king

that's the investment you have to make with slash commands

[earnest phoenix]

ytdl core are done

[honest garnet]

hello

[earnest phoenix]

npm install @discordjs/opus
npm install ffmpeg-static

those 2 are the one has problems

[signal estuary]

na ok 😂

[earnest phoenix]

[spare badger]

@earnest phoenix Have you tried the solution I send you for the @discordjs/opus package?

[latent heron]

i mean if its really that hard to rewrite the way commands are processed and not the actual command logic

[earnest phoenix]

yeah

[latent heron]

then don't bother looking into slash commands at all

[spare badger]

@earnest phoenix How did that work?

[latent heron]

it's not like a majority of writing code is you having to constantly modify things as you go

[spare badger]

@earnest phoenix Please start sending the entire error instead of a small part. I can't help you otherwise.

Okay so you are going to have to open the terminal with admin privileges and then run that command again.

[vivid fulcrum]

it literally tells you what to do

lol

[earnest phoenix]

oh

[spare badger]

Yea it might also be smart to start reading the error messages yourself 😂

[earnest phoenix]

ight

[earnest phoenix]

do run as admistrator

then run cmds

Or if on mac ios do sudo

and enter username password of mac then do

[vivid fulcrum]

can we get one more person to tell them to run as admin

[earnest phoenix]

LMAO

[solemn latch]

run as admin /s

[weary crypt]

Make sure to uncompress 😎

[fringe fractal]

Hello, someone crashed my discord bot using a math command.. He or she don't want to tell me how. Is there any way to fix it? Or any package to use math commands?

[earnest phoenix]

i know what the bug was in your code: you eval the math expression

[pale vessel]

Mathjs

[earnest phoenix]

and here's a way to crash bots that do that: /math process.exit();

[solemn latch]

dont think it was eval, probably was the math package

[fringe fractal]

But the bot checks for a number. If there are no numbers, my bot doesn't eval it

[solemn latch]

oh heck its an eval

[earnest phoenix]

/math 1 && process.exit()

[solemn latch]

yeah, tons of ways to crash an eval math command. probably best not to use it.

[fringe fractal]

Hmm yes. But is there any way to use a math command without crashing my bot? If not, I'll delete the command xd

[earnest phoenix]

use a math package

[fringe fractal]

Okay, I'll try it. Thanks for the help c:

[earnest phoenix]

||or expression.replace(/[^0123456789+-/*]/g, "")||

[fringe fractal]

uhm ok

[solemn latch]

just a heads up, there are some math packages which also are crash able.
make sure to look at the issues listed.

[fringe fractal]

hmm I think I'll delete just the command. Everyone can use google for Math xD

[pale vessel]

This

[solemn latch]

i dont think ive ever seen someone use a math command because they really needed it.

[lusty quest]

if i would use a math command, there is some fancy code execution engine api that i would use for it

0 risk to kill your system with a bad entry

[earnest phoenix]

Hi

[lament rock]

or just don't include arbitrary expression evaluation unless your bot is specifically dedicated to mathematics somehow

Don't be general purpose

specialize

[vivid fulcrum]

my weeb bot is going to make it amongst other 100,000 weeb bots that do the same thing!

[lament rock]

fr

[earnest phoenix]

or

function math(expr: string): number | Error {
  if (!expr) return new Error("no expression provided bruh");
  let e = [];
  expr = expr.trim();
  for (let w of expr.split(/(<=[0-9])\+(>=[0-9])/g)) {
    e.push(w);
    e = e.join("+");
  }
for (let w of expr.split(/(<=[0-9])\-(>=[0-9])/g)) {
    e.push(w);
    e = e.join("-");
  }
for (let w of expr.split(/(<=[0-9])\/(>=[0-9])/g)) {
    e.push(w);
    e = e.join("/");
  }
for (let w of expr.split(/(<=[0-9])\*(>=[0-9])/g)) {
    e.push(w);
    e = e.join("*");
  }
e = e.replace(/^[+/*-]/g, "")
     .replace(/[+/*-]$/g, "");
return eval(e);
}

wait you also have to remove extra symbols at the end

[lament rock]

too much iteration over the string. You can just capture the operand

[umbral zealot]

Specifically, if you do !math 1:999999999999999999999999999999999999999 it crashes that mathjs library, it's a known issue, the author doesn't really care.

[earnest phoenix]

why in hell would you use a ! prefix

[umbral zealot]

It's an example, idc

[woeful pike]

when will people stop trying to parse math expressions with regex

[solemn latch]

the 1:99999999 thing is the most common crash for math commands

[vivid fulcrum]

so you can get bombed with 30 bots dming you that you're missing permissions, 10 of them having a stroke in the channel and only one actually succeeding at the command! duh, obviously

[lament rock]

[earnest phoenix]

well in that case
function math() {
return 0;
}

[pale vessel]

That's the thing, Mathjs offers an API but everyone used the npm package instead

That's what I use for my bot's command

[lament rock]

I bet people love it when people crash the api

[umbral zealot]

I bet they blocked out that particular flaw in their own API

[pale vessel]

http://api.mathjs.org/v4/?expr=1:11111

http://api.mathjs.org/v4/?expr=1:111111111

Ahahaha

They didn't

[lament rock]

lol its on heroku

[pale vessel]

But that's better than crashing your own bot

[earnest phoenix]

ahahahhahah

[umbral zealot]

wow

[solemn latch]

heroku paid actually is not bad from what ive heard 👀 just expensive.

[earnest phoenix]

more expensive than a better vps

[umbral zealot]

so if someone were to make a system that just keep pinging that endpoint...

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[solemn latch]

sure, but for someone whos too lazy to fix a simple bug, the ease of just using heroku probably wins.

[earnest phoenix]

wait can jsfuck crash them

bruh it cant

[lusty quest]

this is why using a code execution engine works.

[earnest phoenix]

i think google has a math api

[pale vessel]

Piston bae

That's their official bot, right?

[lusty quest]

ye

you cant really kill the bot

even a fork bomb wont work

[lament rock]

fill an array then fork

[earnest phoenix]

whats a fork

[lusty quest]

if the process takes longer than 5 seconds it sends a kill signal to the Container running the code

if the code tries to delete the container it stops the container

[lament rock]

forking the process is to create an identical instance of the process

[lusty quest]

will get a kill signal

they had smart people trying to get the service down, but it is quite robust now

[lament rock]

cool

[boreal quest]

Does anyone have experience in discord.js unit testing and could help me with some references or something to get started with optimizing code.

[long crow]

For the math, slash command option is not a bad idea. Though only integer options can be used

[pale vessel]

I wouldn't recommend it

There's always going to be vulnerabilities

Of course, if you use eval

I assume you don't, like a sane person would

[long crow]

const { SlashCommand, CommandOptionType } = require('slash-create');
const c = [{name:'add',value:'addition'},{name:'sub',value:'subtract'},{name:'multiply',value:'multiplication'},{name:'div',value:'division'}];

module.exports = class Math extends SlashCommand {
  constructor(creator) {
    super(creator, {
      name: 'math',
      description: 'Do some math function',
      throttling: {duration:5,usages:1},
      options: [
        {
          type: CommandOptionType.STRING,
          name: 'op',
          description: 'What operand of math you using',
          choices:c
        },
        {
          type: CommandOptionType.INTEGER,
          name: 'x',
          description: 'x quantity'
        },
        {
          type: CommandOptionType.INTEGER,
          name: 'y',
          description: 'y quantity'
        }
      ]
    });

    // Not required initially, but required for reloading with a fresh file.
    this.filePath = __filename;
  }

  async run(ctx) {
    try {
      if (ctx.options.op =="addition") {
        ctx.send(`${(ctx.options.x + ctx.options.y).toLocaleString('en-US')}`);
      }

      else if (ctx.options.op == "subtract") {
        ctx.send(`${(ctx.options.x - ctx.options.y).toLocaleString('en-US')}`);
      }

      else if (ctx.options.op == "multiplication") {
        ctx.send(`${(ctx.options.x * ctx.options.y).toLocaleString('en-US')}`);
      }

      else if (ctx.options.op == "division") {
        ctx.send(`${(ctx.options.x / ctx.options.y).toLocaleString('en-US')}`);
      }
    } 
    catch (err) {ctx.send('There is an error running the command');}
  }

};``` Well, yeah no eval involved

[lament rock]

The problem with that is that it doesn't allow complex statements to be made

but it is safe

[lavish bramble]

Can I get docs?

[lament rock]

It's a private API. You need to apply to get in.

[earnest phoenix]

Please Stop Typing In Pascal Case

[vivid fulcrum]

update to djs v12

[warped ravine]

I do not understand what you mean

[vivid fulcrum]

They're Telling You To Stop Typing Like This

[warped ravine]

I use google translate so I might have said the wrong thing. I'm sorry if I said someting wrong.

[vivid fulcrum]

nah it's just annoying when people type like that

[earnest phoenix]

ok so it's another indian

[lavish bramble]

So I have to apply in bot lab

[earnest phoenix]

@warped ravine apna discordjs ko v12 me update karo: npm i discord.js@^12

[warped ravine]

i am turkish

[rapid wharf]

are u indian??

[snow urchin]

anyone?

[earnest phoenix]

never seen turkish people typing like that

[warped ravine]

I use google translation

@earnest phoenix How do I migrate to discord.js v12

[snow urchin]

npm i discord.js@^12

[warped ravine]

Thanks

I really thank you all

gave a very long error

[marble juniper]

client.emojis.get doesn't work

[snow urchin]

still...nobody?

[marble juniper]

you have to use client.emojis.cache.get

[marble juniper]

idk how can I help you sry

[solemn latch]

👀 pretty sure only a few people use TS here

[earnest phoenix]

me included

sortof

[marble juniper]

I do use typescript in my bot actually

lol

my bot is full typescript

wdym working

soo i created a new bot and started from a new scratch and it was worth trying

[rocky hearth]

I'm confused how Not a Number is a number?

[vivid fulcrum]

it's really an object

[latent heron]

@drifting shell join bot dev vc

[vivid fulcrum]

but its type is a number

because the value (NaN) can only derive from numbers

i.e. 0/0

[pale vessel]

Zero Division error

[drifting shell]

hang on

[latent heron]

now

[near stratus]

Sorry I went offline.
You can do ipconfig in windows and
ifconfig on Mac and Linux

[earnest phoenix]

is this good?

[earnest phoenix]

The error says it's looking for stuff in pages

are you using nextjs

if so then pages is the cwd

Try ../src/stuff

[tired panther]

How can you remove a undefined value from a array without looping through?

[snow urchin]

first one, 2 dots as you suggested
second one, 1 dot
@earnest phoenix

[earnest phoenix]

I cant find the src directory

[snow urchin]

[rocky hearth]

in ts I have a variable const VAL = 10, How do I make a type from it like,
type Val = -10 | 10

[earnest phoenix]

but why?

[rocky hearth]

I want the type to be dynamic

I guess to use typeof VAL, but how do get the negative part?

[earnest phoenix]

Number("-" + VAL)

[sudden geyser]

So VAL can either be positive or negative 10 (and no number in between)?

[rocky hearth]

Like, VAL would be a positive number.
I want to create a type from it, like
const VAL = 10;
type Sign = -10 | 10;

if VAL changes, Sign should also change

[cinder patio]

Val can't change cause it's const

and even if it could, Typescript is a static transpiler

there'a no such things as dynamic types. You'll have to settle with a specific number or just number

[woeful pike]

what are you trying to do exactly?

[woeful pike]

this is technically possible but very difficult to implement unless you're using a library like https://github.com/ronami/meta-typing.

gotta get into type level arithmetic with peano numbers and shit

[cinder patio]

lol

[woeful pike]

oh actually it doesn't work because it's a negative number yeah ok

and it's only supported for very small numbers because of typescript's recursion limit

[lament stump]

Does anyone know how to align a block of text like this with an image? I've been trying for hours now

this is what i currently have

[woeful pike]

flexbox with align-items and justify-content center

[cinder patio]

Why would you need that anyways... VAL changes during runtime, typechecker can't do nothing about it

[woeful pike]

I think what he wants is to infer the type of literal values for type safety

[lament stump]

I'll try that, thanks c:

[woeful pike]

I use something similar for top.gg but not with numbers

[lament stump]

uh

what

that is my code for that

            display: flex;
            align-items: center;
            justify-content: center;
        }```

[vocal trellis]

somehow my bot is insane slow idk where it is coming from! does anyone knows if there is something wrong with dc api

[broken matrix]

when my bot turns on is its status online for a few ms then goes to dnd?

[olive rune]

Are you setting your bot's status when it's connected (on_ready function or similar) or when it's connecting

[olive rune]

api seems fine to me :p

[broken matrix]

well its not my bot. Im making it for some one but they make their bot is on dnd. Im seeing if for a few seconds on start if its online

[solemn latch]

there has been some issues with a few vps hosts reaching cloudflare/discord

oh, they are setting it to dnd and you're setting it to online?

[broken matrix]

nope, their bot is on dnd

im making mine track its outages

[olive rune]

What language is your bot in?

[broken matrix]

js

theirs is py

client.on('presenceUpdate', (oldPresence, newPresence) => {
    let member = newPresence.member;

    if (member.id === '454323110569574422') {
        if (oldPresence !== newPresence.status) {

            let channel = member.guild.channels.cache.get('841514123547508736');
         
            if (newPresence.status === "online") {
                text = `@foggy crown is back online, The issue is resolved.`;
            } 
             if (newPresence.status === "offline") {
                text = `@foggy crown is experiancing an outage. Keep up with this bot for more information on this outage.`;
            }
            
            channel.send(text);
        }
    }
});

[solemn latch]

if your just trying to determine if the bots online, any status(online, dnd, idle) should be considered online status's.

[broken matrix]

ill brb let me ask them a question

wait i just answered my question

[stray birch]

          let ServerEmbed = new Discord.MessageEmbed();
          ServerEmbed.setTitle("I'm Currently in ${client.guilds.cache.size} servers);
          ServerEmbed.setDescription("Make sure to invite me to your server, My goal is to be in 100 servers!")
          message.channel.send(ServerEmbed);``` giving me an error

[sudden geyser]

well why is it

[main trench]

@stray birch why do you do ServerEmbed.setTitle?

[mental raven]

@client.command()
async def meme(ctx):
  async with ctx.typing():
      time.sleep(0.1)
      subreddit = reddit.subreddit('memes')
      top = subreddit.top(limit=100)
      sub_list = []


      for submission in top:
        sub_list.append(submission)

      subChosen = random.choice(sub_list)

      subTitle = subChosen.title
      subUrl = subChosen.url

      embedVar = discord.Embed(title=subTitle, color=0xffa300)
      embedVar.set_image(url=subUrl)
      embedVar.set_footer(text=f"Result from r/{subreddit} || By {subChosen.author} || {subChosen.score}▲ || {subChosen.num_comments}💬")

This works but it is very very slow.. How to make it faster?

It's python btw

[stray birch]

thats how i code it

[deep mantle]

It's probably the part where you are getting the memes from reddit

[slender thistle]

Yes PRAW isn't async

[mental raven]

How to make is async?

[main trench]

Just plain .setTitle will work

[mental raven]

idk how to use async praw

[stray birch]

i tried it didnt work

[slender thistle]

Wdym you don't know

[mental raven]

I just don't know

[slender thistle]

What's the difference that you're stuck on

[mental raven]

Isn't there a difference between praw and async praw?

[slender thistle]

Isn't it like almost the same crap but with awaited methods?

[mental raven]

where do i put them tho?

[stray birch]

nope

[slender thistle]

Wdym put

Do you understand what methods are

[mental raven]

yeah

nvm

[main trench]

Weird

Guess your code is set up strange

Anyways what's the error you ran into?

[main trench]

Holy those colors do not go well together

[stray birch]

im not on visual studio code lol

im on repl.it

[main trench]

Gonna remind myself never to use repl

[stray birch]

lol

[main trench]

Unexpected token interesting

The only thing i can think of is to check your bots token

[stray birch]

ok

[stray birch]

i changed it but still same error

[main trench]

I don't see any out of place "."

What line is the error happening on?

[stray birch]

i found the mistake now

[main trench]

Where was it?

[stray birch]

forgot to put }

[main trench]

Ah

[stray birch]

lol

[main trench]

Wow repl does not give great errors then

[wheat mesa]

@stray birch ```js
var cfPossible = ['Heads!', 'Tails!']
var cfResult = cfPossible[Math.floor(Math.random()*cfPossible.length)]
const cfembed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
.setColor('#0099ff')
.setDescription(:coin: **You flipped a ${cfResult}**)
message.channel.send({ embed:cfembed })

This is the code that works for my embeds, try something more like this instead of doing `ServerEmbed.setTitle`

[stray birch]

wait i got a cmd error

the ${client.guilds.cache.size} isnt working

for the embed

[main trench]

What does the error say about it

[wheat mesa]

You're not preparing the compiler for string interpolation in your string

[stray birch]

idk how serverEmbed not defined

[wheat mesa]

You have to use backticks

[main trench]

Check that it's defined

[stray birch]

ok

[wheat mesa]

ffs

discord is being weird

[main trench]

You trying to make a code block @wheat mesa?

[wheat mesa]

Nah, I was trying to escape backticks within a code block

Not sure how to do that

[main trench]

\

I think

[wheat mesa]

yeah, wasn't working

[stray birch]

ok now my code is working

[main trench]

Nice

[sudden geyser]

Does anyone know if there's a difference between a surname and a family name? I tried searching on Google, but all I got were answers suggesting it was for formality

[pale vessel]

🤔

no difference?

[sudden geyser]

seems so, ty

[mental raven]

How can I turn this from PRAW to Async PRAW?

subreddit = reddit.subreddit('memes')
      top = subreddit.top(limit=100)
      sub_list = []


      for submission in top:
        sub_list.append(submission)

      subChosen = random.choice(sub_list)

      subTitle = subChosen.title
      subUrl = subChosen.url

      embedVar = discord.Embed(title=subTitle, color=0xffa300)
      embedVar.set_image(url=subUrl)
      embedVar.set_footer(text=f"Result from r/{subreddit} || By {subChosen.author} || {subChosen.score}▲ || {subChosen.num_comments}💬")

You'll say it's easy but i am kinda new to coding and I am not that smart
so sorry if this is easy to do
Just call me stupid

I am just stupid

[worn grove]

I was wondering about shards. My bot isn't completely huge, but what is the benefit of shards, and what are they used for?

[sudden geyser]

You should shard when Discord requires you to.

[worn grove]

oh, alright

[eager scarab]

How can I do that, when I click the power button, a command is executed (the one I want)

like

html file: ```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

<button id="start">Power on</button>
<button id="off">Power off</button>

</body>
</html>

js file: ```js
const startsScript = document.getElementById('start')

const TEST = console.log('test works')

startsScript.addEventListener('click', TEST)

what I want is to execute the command node bin/index.js

this is the bin/index.js file: ```js
const Discord = require('discord.js');
const bot = new Discord.Client();
const token = require('./token');
bot.ready('ready', () => {

Does anyone know how to put a video of 1.30 min (by link) in an embed cuz i cant figure it out

[pale vessel]

you can only put images

[gray bronze]

Fuck

[boreal iron]

https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/GuildMember?scrollTo=setNickname
Can I actually remove the bot's nickname again since nick accepts a string only?
Or do I need to set the nickname as the bot's username?

Can I actually remove the bot's nickname again
Which would restore it's username automatically.

[vivid fulcrum]

you should be able to just pass null

[boreal iron]

Hmm well then I need to try it I guess

[weary crypt]

If not, I believe that the nickname is a different field(or whatever they might call it on JS) and you can just pass in their username instead

[placid iron]

@pale vessel can you share your embed to text with me please

[quaint wasp]

guys

yall kept telling me to use github

now that I go on it

MHMMM

how useful is it?

[placid iron]

tf this

[quaint wasp]

I refresed it lots of times.

IDK

[weary crypt]

bruh huh

github.com

[quaint wasp]

there was a button with github on it and I pressed it

[stiff lynx]

Hi everyone, How can I check if the mentioned user is a bot?

because I did a rob command

And I want to avoid that people try to rob a bot

[weary crypt]

What language are you using and api?

[stiff lynx]

discord.js

message.author.bot this is for the message

[craggy inlet]

I've made a bot and added Slash commands and added a String option to add text but it won't show when I run the slash commandI'm using it for an 8ball command and I want it to show what you askedBut it's not working for Slash commands

Can anyone help

[weary crypt]

best guess, since I dont program in discord.js compare the ID of the client and the mentioned user

[weary crypt]

Which language are your programming in?

[craggy inlet]

Default I think DB

No BD

BD script

[weary crypt]

Not really too sure on that, can you send me the docs on slash commands for BD

[craggy inlet]

I did the instructions but it still didnt work

[weary crypt]

I know, can you send the docs to me?

[placid iron]

thank

[craggy inlet]

this is the only one i can find https://nilpointer-software.github.io/bdfd-wiki/guides/slashCommands.html

[weary crypt]

thanks

[craggy inlet]

its not by discord but its from the app i use to make the bot

[weary crypt]

I see that now

[craggy inlet]

and its how to make slash commands on BD script

[eternal osprey]

const therest = test.substring(test[0][1].length)```test.substring is not a function

how is that?

[weary crypt]

The only thing I can think of, make sure that your invite scope is correct(this way your bot can actually use em) Also make sure that you are saving properly @craggy inlet

Not too much else I can say since I cannot see the code they are using etc...

[craggy inlet]

it is on the right scope and im saving it properly. ig the options dont work on BD script

[boreal iron]

You were right.

[vivid fulcrum]

it's crazy how neither the api or the lib docs mention it lol

[errant hornet]

How would the bot get the ID of a role it just created?

[sudden geyser]

What library are you using?

[eternal osprey]

how do i use .push to add a number to a []?

so for example [20], I want to add 40 more:

[summer torrent]

add 20 to 40?

so [60] ? or

[sudden geyser]

You could call .push 40 times, but this depends on what you really want to do.

• Do you want to add the number 20 40 times to the array?
• Do you want to add 40 more numbers to the array?

The former is easy to implement:

Array(20).fill(40);

[harsh blade]

Can any1 help me rq

How would i use the "displayname" in console.log?

I Dont really know if u can even do that lol

Nvm i sorted that out

Is there a way to make this message colored?

[weary crypt]

console foreground color?

[harsh blade]

The message color

like in console.log

[weary crypt]

Yea there maybe something in the class console to change the color

In C# it is Console.ForegroundColor =

[sudden geyser]

It depends on the environment.

If you're in your browser console (e.g. Chrome) you can use CSS.

[harsh blade]

Figured it out

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9781218/how-to-change-node-jss-console-font-color#:~:text=For example if you want to have a Dim%2C Red,and effects at the end.

i used this list

if anyone else is wondering :p

[sudden geyser]

Great. I recommend you use constants or a library to store them (since I see a lot of users include the raw color in the string).

[harsh blade]

Ohh

so its easier to use ig?

[sudden geyser]

Yeah

and less ambiguous

You probably can't tell what \x1b[1m Hello, World! means up front.

[harsh blade]

haha

Alright, thanks for the help :p

[rocky hearth]

Does this library discord.js , is also managed and created by microsoft itself?

or it is a open source project?

[earnest phoenix]

It is a library created by the devil himself to cache everything and make the memory suffer

[rocky hearth]

who's devil

[long marsh]

Anyone know why a shard would randomly go down without any caught errors?

Happens from time to time on my bot. I have seen shard disconnect & restart before, but I get all the logs for those.

[rocky hearth]

because u might be not handling them properly

[long marsh]

const manager = new ShardingManager('./src/bot.js', {
  token: Config.Bot.token,
});
manager.on('shardCreate', (shard) => console.log(`Launched shard ${shard.id}`));
manager.spawn();

Is there a manager.on('shardException') or anything?

[rocky hearth]

idk, what does the error says

[long marsh]

There isn't an error, lol

client.on('error', (code) => {
  console.error(code);
});

process.on('exit', (code) => {
  console.log(code);
});

process.on('uncaughtException', (error) => {
  console.error(error);
});

process.on('unhandledRejection', (error) => {
  console.error(error);
});

I catch everything from the client itself.

I don't get anything from the shard.

It was just a shot in the dark - I really don't know what it could be doing. I suspect it's low ram.

But, I'm not reaching ram limits 🤔

[lament rock]

there might be a manager error event

makes the most sense if there was one

[long marsh]

Do you have documentation for that?

I legit could not find it

Wow

[lament rock]

Looks like shardCreate is the only event in the docs

[long marsh]

Just found it

https://discordjs.guide/popular-topics/errors.html#websocket-and-network-errors

Well, that should help 😄

[lament rock]

that's a ClientShard event

not manager

[long marsh]

OH!

Duh.

Yeah, I believe there's only 1 event "shardCreate"

[lament rock]

for the manager, yes

[long marsh]

Right - so how do we catch errors from the shard manager standpoint?

In an idea world, I would assume there shouldn't be errors 🤷‍♂️

[lament rock]

You could listen to the error event in the shard and then post the message to the manager

arbitrarily emit an event through the ShardManager

but that's not type safe

[long marsh]

client.on('error', (code) => {
  console.error(code);
});

process.on('exit', (code) => {
  console.log(code);
});

process.on('uncaughtException', (error) => {
  console.error(error);
});

process.on('unhandledRejection', (error) => {
  console.error(error);
});

Would none of those already catch the shard error?

I was assuming I was catching everything by those standards.

I could throw in the shardError event as well.

[lament rock]

shardError would

since shardError is for socket errors

[rocky hearth]

y can't I require all the files in ./events?

it is not giving any errors, and also not logging anything

[earnest phoenix]

Btw you're not invoking the console.error method, other than, if it doesn't log anything then have you tried logging something before reading the files?

[rocky hearth]

yes, than it works

[rocky hearth]

I tried logging __dirname at line 6, it does log upto lib path

this time I also got the error, no such file or directory "events"

[earnest phoenix]

Because fs targets the root path

[lament rock]

does fs default to cwd?

[earnest phoenix]

./src/events

[lament rock]

@earnest phoenix on the topic of relative paths, check out what I made. npm backtracker

[earnest phoenix]

Btw yes

[lament rock]

pain

[earnest phoenix]

hmm, lemme check

[lament rock]

tldr; you can use that module to have native like file resolution using relative paths based on the previous frame in code execution

aka, the current func

[earnest phoenix]

Looks kinda really pog and useful actually, imma see what optimizations I can apply by contributing

[lament rock]

[earnest phoenix]

I think the first() and last() methods of the Stack class can take a parameter to return the required amount of elements just like the collections in discord.js

Imma PR that real quick

[delicate shore]

This code isn't working

let res = await fetch(`https://api.pgamerx.com/ai/response?message=${okbrooo}&type=stable&unique_id=${msg.author.id}`, {
            method: 'GET',
            headers: { 'x-api-key': 'MY API KEY' },
        })
        let json = await res.json()
        let reply = json[0]["message"]

If I fetch the api using my wrapper it works, but like this it returns 504

even tho everything is correct

oh wait

I am dumb

I was using the wrong endpoint

[boreal iron]

Hey @earnest phoenix how would you create an embed with 4 fields - only 2 in one line (each).
Discord is forcing as much inline fields as will fit in the embed.

[lament rock]

is okbrooo a URI Encoded string or is it arbitrary user input

[delicate shore]

encoded string

[lament rock]

ok cool

[delicate shore]

couldn't find a better name

i am very bad at naming things

[lament rock]

const a = enc(b)

[delicate shore]

Imagine what I will name my child

[earnest phoenix]

You would have to use a blank field by \u200b as both the name and the value

[delicate shore]

well that's not gonna happen anyway

I'm trying use slash command. But my client events are not working
Is this is wrong?
const bot = new Client({ intents: 9 })

what is a intents, actually?

[prisma locust]

Hi, can you help me know how to get the server icon via the discord server's invite link? I think he will know the forehead with a request, but I couldn't. anyone who wants to help knows how to tag me.

[trail finch]

how to make my discord.js bot prefix work on lowercase and uppercase?

I tried some basic stuffs but didnt work

[thorny arch]

hey how does a bot detect someone voted

[rocky hearth]

always, convert the command name to lowercase, and check only for lowercased string

[trail finch]

um for commands I used command handler and made it both lower and upper case

[boreal iron]

Hmm I was thinking about that already.
Currently I can’t test this but does it create a "huge gap" between the other two lines?
I could imagine the line height won’t change...

[earnest phoenix]

yes, but the gap is not that huge

[boreal iron]

Alright, thanks I will test it out if I’m back at my PC

[near stratus]

.toLowerCase() I guess

[trail finch]

no work I already used

[near stratus]

https://discordjs.guide/popular-topics/intents.html

[distant bramble]

hmmm

[near stratus]

if(message.content.startsWith(PREFIX.toLowerCase())){
    //The rest
}

It works for me
oh f that's not what you want

[pale vessel]

What if I put A!ping

[trail finch]

OH THATS TRUE! ok I got the idea

thank you @near stratus

[lament rock]

gateway intents are sent as a bitfield which can be logic'd down to specific numbers which represent specific settings corresponding to events the client is asking Discord to send instead of sending every event. Most events are grouped together under specific intents. If the client doesn't want to receive VOICE_STATE_UPDATE events, then the client shouldn't identify with that intent in the bitfield. As a consequence, Discord won't send that event

[near stratus]

@trail finch

if(message.content.slice(0, (PREFIX.length-1)).toLowerCase() === PREFIX.toLowerCase() ){
    //The rest
}

[earnest phoenix]

Is Prefix Defined??

What Is The Error @near stratus

??

[rocky hearth]

thanks, and whats the problem in enable all the events?

[near stratus]

I am guessing so

[earnest phoenix]

Mhm

[near stratus]

I am helping Mizuko

[pale vessel]

message.content.toLowerCase().startsWith(PREFIX.toLowerCase()) would suffice, no?

[near stratus]

Yea this will also work

[earnest phoenix]

@near stratus Btw Why Would Put js if(message.content.slice()) That should not be correct syntax

[lament rock]

Network I/O may become cluttered with events which would not be processed at all by the library or the client. Would also consume more CPU time decoding the messages from the gateway

[fathom pivot]

Fuck

[trail finch]

nvm my idea didnt work

[near stratus]

typeof message.content is string and you can use slice() on string so I thought that's it. (I don't have a huge brain like flazepe)

[trail finch]

btw I was talking about prefix to be both cases so that if I use YK help, yk help and Yk help it will work

because many mobile player's first letter when typed the first letter is upper case so..

[near stratus]

yes and that's why what flaze gave would work

*should

[trail finch]

but isnt it only for lower case?

[near stratus]

It'll turn both the prefix and message.content in lower case too so case won't matter in the end

[trail finch]

ok

[rocky hearth]

for slash commands, we can't give alias names yet, right?

[near stratus]

create another command with same functionality

[olive roost]

How do i add servercount

In top.gg

[boreal iron]

Using a library doing it for you or just POST the server count to the topgg endpoint

Repeatedly of course

[lament rock]

I'd just post every 10 minutes

[boreal iron]

• 1 hour

[near stratus]

I post once every hour
Also every time my bot is added or removed to a server

[pale vessel]

It won't matter as long as it's not once every one millisecond

[errant perch]

is it against tos to use a user bot to repeatedly use a command on a bot?

[near stratus]

I tried but it doesn't work

[pale vessel]

But a user bot is already against ToS

[errant perch]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/730565202260656135/843332621521125436/unknown.png

[near stratus]

a bot shouldn't be able to use another bot's command

[errant perch]

theyve been doing this every 30 seconds for 5 days

[pale vessel]

Just blacklist them or add cooldowns

[errant perch]

ok thanks, just wondering if there are any other repercussions to this

[copper cradle]

your bot should ignore other bots by default

[errant perch]

my bot ignores other bots, but not user bots since discord doesnt show that theyre actual bots

[long crow]

Just ignore bot user

[near stratus]

You can report him If you can prove that he's selfboting

[copper cradle]

^

[errant perch]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

ok

[boreal iron]

I don’t think somebody spams F5 on topgg just to get a boner if the server count is growing

But who knows...

[errant perch]

what's this mean

oh

server count

[near stratus]

just keep sending random server counts and see the graph
Also I saw someone writing something with server count graph

[long crow]

Me sir

[trail finch]

boi this rlly WORKS! btw can u explain the code pleaseee

[errant perch]

it makes the content of the message lowercase which i assume will make it case insensitive

same with prefix

[trail finch]

oh

if (!message.content.toLowerCase().startsWith(prefix.toLowerCase())) return;```

this is the way I added it in my code and it works fine!

[boreal iron]

Well I’m generating charts myself for my project statistics and they used to scale in days/hours not minutes or seconds.
I would guess the same for server charts printing the server count.
Which means there’s no benefit to spam the topgg API .

But who actually cares... if you’re below the rate limit everything is fine

[pale vessel]

A!AaaA (content) to lowercase = a!aaaa
A! (prefix) to lowercase = a!
a!aaaa starts with a! = true

🧠

[boreal iron]

You forgot to mention B!BbbB to lowercase = a!aaaa too

[near stratus]

I was talking about this graph dbl-graph BOT_ID servers

[boreal iron]

Huh what?

[near stratus]

wait, you never tried that ?

@kindred lava

It has that command

It'll give a server count graph

[boreal iron]

Nope... can’t imagine something more useless tbh

[long crow]

isEven npm

[near stratus]

npm i is-even

[errant perch]

anyone know how to write a privacy policy?

and terms of conditions?

didnt work

i use dblapi.js

do i need to use the up to date one?

[thorny arch]

im using discord.py btw

[soft glade]

im trying to make a roleplay bot for my friend for her server and im making a punch command so you can do _punch and it will send Wow you punched this user and a gif but its not sending the gif

@client.command()

  embed=discord.Embed(title=f"Wow! You Punched {member}")
  embed.set_image(url='https://images.app.goo.gl/KS7fzgAe5PmvXUHP8')
  await ctx.send(embed=embed)

[thorny arch]

does it have to be an embed?

[soft glade]

i dont want it to show the link to the gif and i found thats the easiest way

[thorny arch]

lemme check the link

[soft glade]

here https://images.app.goo.gl/KS7fzgAe5PmvXUHP8

[sudden knoll]

wdym, ports are how your computer connects to the outside world

you can put any port between the given range, most ppl use 5000

[thorny arch]

oh ok

and how do i get my bot's token

[sudden knoll]

your bot's webhook page on top.gg

[thorny arch]

hmmmk

[sudden knoll]

the token is for posting your server count

[thorny arch]

mhm

[thorny arch]

i just need it to detect votes

[sudden knoll]

it's not necessary for webhooks, but using this lib is ez and gives you some extra functionality so might as well

[thorny arch]

mmmk

[earnest phoenix]

somehow it detects something

[pale vessel]

What's the error?

[earnest phoenix]

if (cmd === 'play'){

The error is below that

idk why it detects that thing

somewhere in that group

if (cmd === 'play'){
^

// The error is here```

What's the error

[craggy pine]

https://scs.twilightgamez.net/pW9D3.png the error would be at the top of this mess (my code erroring)

Mine being "Messages" of null

[earnest phoenix]

ight

[craggy pine]

I can wait to bug someone about it tomorrow, disregard sorry for ping ❤️ u

Ah you got offline.

[earnest phoenix]

[earnest phoenix]

Lmao, btw I don't mind pings lyt <3

[craggy pine]

Well I suppose I can ask just incase. So my project is a little price tracking thing designed for me and a friend to use when we're "Flipping" and the bot is basically only 100ish lines long. Specifically I transitioned to an API to get more accurate prices instead of scrapping a certain website. After doing so, a peice of code (Which was unmodified) now cause major issues and ultimately killing the bot. I don't think providing the code itself that's erroring will be much use but I was wondering if I sent you the bot itself or I could even share screens idc it could be potentially an easy fix that I'm just overlooking.
The line that's dying is

async function updateChannelMessage(priceDelta, data, bot) {
  console.log(data);

  let channel = await bot.channels.fetch(data.channelId, true)
  let message = await channel.messages.fetch(data.messageId, true); // <-- messages being null
  await message.edit(getEmbedByDelta(priceDelta)).catch(console.log);
}

But I doubt that's much context for you correct

It works fine if I revert code which is why I'm like

[earnest phoenix]

hmm, that's kinda strange; when you log the data at the start of the function after calling it, does it contain the correct channelId property with a valid channel ID?

[craggy pine]

Well here's the thing.

The bot itself is designed to like "Start the process" on boot so I don't have to re-run code. So when I begin the bot for the first time it's 100% fine.

If i close console then start the bot up again, the error appears.

I do keep the data in a .json it's suppose to look at.

{"currentPrice":550993000,"usersToNotify":["160679942319767552"],"messagesToEdit":[{"messageId":"843330564508876820","channelId":"720571224777949205"}],"scrapeURL":[]}

So the msgID and channelID are indeed there.

[earnest phoenix]

So is that what it exactly logs when you log data?

[craggy pine]

sec.

https://scs.twilightgamez.net/33vOJ.png

the log is above the error

I wonder if it's related to the fact the API uses data aswell as it's formatting. but it's in its own function and should not see it.

https://scs.twilightgamez.net/GYpBJ.png

[earnest phoenix]

That is really weird, you said it runs fine on the startup and after restarting; that error starts to appear? Literally the only reason I would think of why this happens is that the bot is logging in to a different application with a token instead of the main one

Or the channel ID is incorrect which I presume is not the case if not changed

[craggy pine]

Correct. As mentioned in the original message above, I'd be happy to kind of, demonstate it? A gif would take too long to make if you're willing to watch

[earnest phoenix]

I would like to hear you demonstrate it, a gif might also be helpful but nah; that would take too long

[prime mist]

Is messages actually a property on the channel instance? https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/Channel

[earnest phoenix]

no

Its a property on the TextChannel class

[prime mist]

Maybe log the channel variable and see what is going on?

[craggy pine]

Well again this line that causing trouble was never changed in the first place. I yeeted puppeteer code to use request since API instead of scrapping. Puppeteer code works fine.

no issues what so ever.

[earnest phoenix]

That is not the issue they're having

The channel variable entirely returns null

it joined and it plays but it needs more commands

[craggy pine]

I'll lower my rate it checks the price to make a gif.

sec

[earnest phoenix]

Well uhh, I have no clue how that changing from puppeteer to API requests could yield this error, the only way I could help at this point is to see more code

[craggy pine]

20 sec gif oh well.

here goes nothing

Notice that b4 I close the console, it does indeed check the price, returns "Data" and it works. I close console, reopen it and error.

[earnest phoenix]

Oh wait, are you those object logs the message ID and the channel ID of the messages the users sent to invoke the command?

[craggy pine]

No it's the bot embed. It just updates it as prices change

botembed = messageID, channel ID = channel command was ran in to start the process

[earnest phoenix]

Oh, lemme check the code you sent me real quick

[craggy pine]

Sure.

[earnest phoenix]

I'm starting to see a pattern here, you're pushing the message the bot sends to an array to edit them later, but in the gif you showed; it logs 4 objects when the bot only sent one message? Am I missing something here? Or maybe the channel ID being pushed there was deleted? I'm as confused as you're

[craggy pine]

It's on a timer, so what it does is I'm able to create multiples of these if I wish hense the array but generally I only have one message running.
What the bot does is it opens the API stores the data after x time (I usually set it to a minute per check) it will compair old value to new and alert the users "Subscribed" to get a DM on the change. If I close the bot and wish to resume this later, it would since the messageID and channelID both would exsist since I wouldn't delete the message itself.

It logs the objects each rotation because I did that for debugging purposes really.

{"currentPrice":552000000,
"usersToNotify":[],
"messagesToEdit":[{"messageId":"843373934221066250","channelId":"720571224777949205"}],
"scrapeURL":[]}

This is what it's storing and it will only ever overwrite "current price" since it changes. usersToNotify is a push and same goes to messagesToEdit, URL is a overwrite but never really used

[earnest phoenix]

I literally have no clue at all, all of it seems fine to me as I don't see anything wrong except that you're not resolving the promise of doing a request with request() which I presume is not the one causing the issue, this is really strange

[craggy pine]

no worries. I'll post litterally what was changed so u can see old code aswell just incase that may help but if it doesn't I appreciate your assistance nontheless.

async function scrapeItemPage(url) {
  try {
  const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
  console.log("\nStarting virtual browser...")
  const page = await browser.newPage();
  console.log("Opening a new page...")
  await page.setDefaultNavigationTimeout(0);
  await page.goto(url);
  console.log("Going to GE-Tracker.com")

  //get price

  } else {
    itemID = await el2.getProperty('textContent')
    itemID2 = await itemID.jsonValue();
    console.log("ID of item is: " + itemID2.slice(4))
  }


  //get item Title
  const [el3] = await page.$x('/html/body/div[2]/div/div[3]/div[3]/div/div/div[2]/h1')
  itemTitle = await el3.getProperty('textContent')
  itemTitle2 = await itemTitle.jsonValue();
  console.log("Name of item is: " + itemTitle2)

  //finished
  await browser.close();
  console.log("Closed Virtual Browser...")
  
  //save everything
  currentPrice = inqPrice2.replace(/[&\/\\#,+()$~%.'":*?<>{}]/g, '').trim();
  setImage = ('https://secure.runescape.com/m=itemdb_oldschool/1619001006055_obj_big.gif?id=' + itemID2.slice(4));
  getTitle = itemTitle2;
  console.log(setImage)
  saveCurrentPrice();

  console.log("Price of " + itemTitle2 + "is " + currentPrice);
  return currentPrice;

  } catch (error) {
    console.log(error)
    saveCurrentPrice()
  }
}

old ^

}

new ^

I was kinda hoping discord would just you know. make that code-block an expandable thing but nvm. Sorry for spam

That was all that was changed

[earnest phoenix]

Yea I don't think that's the issue though, the only things I can suggest trying is to resolve the promise of request() AND try to return as soon as the channel is unavailable for testing to see if it helps at all yk?

[craggy pine]

I'll take the advice

[rapid wharf]

How much ram should be good for a bot in multiple servers??

[earnest phoenix]

Depends on what the bot does

[rapid wharf]

its a basic fun bot with some moderation command

[earnest phoenix]

If the commands do some complex processing and shit, it would require quite a lot, but if it doesn't then at least 300MB just to be sure would be enough for now if the bot is currently small, if it gets bigger you would have to get some more or even at least 2GB or 3GB depending on how many guilds it operates on

[rapid wharf]

reallllyyyy

for now the bot is under dev

and the free hosting i m using it provides 100 mb of ram

and 1.14 gb of ssd

so should i shift @earnest phoenix ??

[earnest phoenix]

The amount of ram you would could also depend on what lib you're using, for example if you're using discord.js; 100MB is a no no since it caches heavy objects which is costly for memory allocation

You should get a VPS instead of free hosting, but if you're only testing on the free hosting for now its fine

[lusty quest]

wtf 100MB ram, this requires some insane amount of optimisation to be able to run stable

[earnest phoenix]

yea

[lusty quest]

its possible with js, but requires stuff like using better memory allocators

[rapid wharf]

i use d.py

[lusty quest]

not sure with py, but its not the most efficent language out there, even with py you probably have to do a lot of stuff like tuning your cache and using a better memory allocator

its less headache to just use a vps with more ram

[woeful pike]

fyi you can't catch request errors like that

[earnest phoenix]

I'm not sure if discord.py caches heavy objects but don't go on about using 100MB for a Discord bot

[rapid wharf]

okie thanks

[earnest phoenix]

Very unstable

[craggy pine]

Ah good 2 know lol

[earnest phoenix]

You can tho

[pale vessel]

doesn't it use the error event was thinking of http(s) module

[woeful pike]

by the time the callback runs and you throw Error the try/catch block is no longer in the stack and can't catch the error you throw

[craggy pine]

Ah, that makes sense. This was me just copy pasting working code that I made in place of puppeteer code which used try/catch. Thanks for the heads up.

[woeful pike]

you might find axios easier to use since it's built on promises and isn't deprecated

[craggy pine]

funny enough I'm working with that now seeing how it works

const Discord = require("discord.js");
const axios = require('axios');

module.exports.run = async (bot, message, args) => {

    axios.get('https://prices.runescape.wiki/api/v1/osrs/latest?id=22486/5m')
    .then(response => {
      console.log(response.data.url);
      console.log(response.data.explanation);
    })
    .catch(error => {
      console.log(error);
    });

}

module.exports.help = {
    name: "test2"
}

just testing it nothing being built really.

[woeful pike]

[craggy pine]

I heard some people talking about Axios so why not try it out ^_^

[pale vessel]

Fetch gang rise up

[near stratus]

umm btw

.catch( error => {
    console.log(error)
});

can be written as .catch(console.log)

[pale vessel]

I heard centra is good

[lusty quest]

axios is nice, but heavier than node-fetch

[near stratus]

axios is like the cool kid in class

[craggy pine]

just copy pasta'd it from a site I'm modifying it dw

ty tho

Reading docs b4 I really do anything.

[prime mist]

Do it. Axios is great.

[craggy pine]

Likely will 🙂

Ya I figured it out pretty quickly. It's pretty nice ngl

https://scs.twilightgamez.net/LPKho.png ty for the suggestions. I'm going to work with Axios over Request for this. Ty Volt, xet, tim and akio ❤️

[lusty quest]

isnt request deprecated

[pale vessel]

It is

[craggy pine]

Never knew tbh

I made this stupid project quite a bit ago and recently decided to work with it again

[lusty quest]

yea its deprecated since 2020

[craggy pine]

Welp the more you know.

[earnest phoenix]

Welp kids, this is why you don't use deprecated packages

[craggy pine]

it do be like that sometimes.

[thorny arch]

ye

[earnest phoenix]

Was gonna suggest using node-fetch but axios is also nice

[craggy pine]

welp time to test code out once more with axios but with actual project.

[craggy pine]

so removing await from channel.messages.fetch seemed to resolve the issue.

[earnest phoenix]

Wait wtf

How?

[craggy pine]

idk tbh but I'll take it

[earnest phoenix]

does that mean that was an issue from the Node.js's interpreter

[craggy pine]

https://scs.twilightgamez.net/ov2gf.png all ofthe console.logs and no errors

[earnest phoenix]

What Node.js version are you currently using?

[craggy pine]

good question

sec

13.12.0

[earnest phoenix]

hm, you should try updating to v14 as it's the current LTS

[craggy pine]

I can ya.

and again funny enough I put await back in the code and it's still working. Fuck coding I am updating tho regardless.

[earnest phoenix]

Lmfao wtf

Gotta love how a piece of code can fuck with you and you remove and place it back to where it exactly was, it works

wtf is coding anymore

[craggy pine]

Ah you know what, it wasn't the async or anything that caused the issue. The error returned. But I did figure it out. The reason why Puppeteer worked with the current code is because it took a decent chunk of time to open a virtual browser, save data, and do whatever. It did this while the bot booted up. So the bot would boot up fully before puppeteer completed. Since API is faster, the api stuff would try to resolve before the bot came fully online so "messages" would be indeed null since it isn't online to see them. Changed some index.js stuff and well, we're good.

[earnest phoenix]

Damn, its always the smallest issues that causes all of this

[craggy pine]

I noticed it when flip flopping between old and new code and console.logged extra shit. But it was the "I'm online!" message that cought my attention. With puppeteer it would always come before the prices. With API it will come up after the error.

[earnest phoenix]

Btw you can also assign the wait variable to Discord.Util.delayFor instead lol

[craggy pine]

https://scs.twilightgamez.net/CQM3f.png object was missing from the above console bec I overlooked the fact I never did ?price new which starts it originally.

[craggy pine]

I thought about doing that ngl. But tbh it was just moving code down a few lines and it's fixed.

[earnest phoenix]

glad that you found out what was causing your issue and fixing it; I thought of telling you to check to see if the client is fully logged in but then I thought nah that wouldn't be the case

Seems like it was

[craggy pine]

Ya major facepalm moment

[hearty kernel]

why the bot dont send massge when someone join

[eternal osprey]

hey

 const points = database[name].points
  const d = levels[message.author.id].completed
  const c = levels[message.author.id].points
  levels[message.author.id].points.fill(Number(points) + Number(c))
  levels[message.author.id].completed.fill(Number(d) + 1);

why does this return me: 2020 and 11?
While it should be 40 and 2

[gaunt stag]

module.exports = {
    name: 'coinflip',
    description: 'Flip a coin',

    execute: async(client, message, args) => {
        const heads = ("./Images/heads.png")
        message.channel.send(`You got heads, ${heads}`)
    }
}``` should work right?

[lusty quest]

you felt for Javascript handling of strings and numbers

[lusty quest]

try and see

[eternal osprey]

wot

[gaunt stag]

not working

[lusty quest]

does it send you an error?

[gaunt stag]

no it does not

[lusty quest]

also you cant send images like this

[gaunt stag]

You got heads, ./Images/heads.png

comes

[lusty quest]

you have to send them as a attachment

[lusty quest]

check with typeOf() what type your numbers are, if they are strings you have to make sure you pass in numbers.

[gaunt stag]

const heads = new Discord.MessageAttachment("./Images/heads.png")

like that?

[lusty quest]

https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/MessageAttachment

[eternal osprey]

sure

they are an object

all 3

[lusty quest]

so you try to use an object and use math on them?

[eternal osprey]

yeah

[mental raven]

Does anyone know how to use discord.py with pyrebase to make a leaderboard command? This is my try:

@client.command(aliases=['lb'])
async def leaderboard(ctx):
  for x in db.get().val():
    y = db.child(x).child('Wallet').get().val()
    f = int(y)
    everyonesWallet.append(y)
    everyonesWallet.sort(reverse=True)
  
  top1user = everyonesWallet[0].parent()
  top2user = everyonesWallet[1].parent()
  top3user = everyonesWallet[2].parent()
  top4user = everyonesWallet[3].parent()
  top5user = everyonesWallet[4].parent()

But it has this error:

[low river]

i have a totally different lb from u

[mental raven]

Are you using pyrebase with discord.py?

[low river]

no-

[mental raven]

sad

[low river]

welp imma show u my lb

irrespective that i left that bot

will be different for u as i am storing my bank info in mainbank.json file

[mental raven]

oh ok

That's alot of code

[hearty perch]

Excuse me, what?

[marble juniper]

Intents are like a way to tell the discord api what events you want to recieve

[hearty perch]

No

[marble juniper]

those intents will soon be required to be set in discord.js v13

[hearty perch]

that's not my point

[marble juniper]

when the new discord.js update comes out intents will be required lol

[hearty perch]

They said a video is outdated because intents

[marble juniper]

yes

that video doesn't have intents in the code

thats the thing

that i just said

bruh

[hearty perch]

But

you know

Nevermind

I don't feel like it's worth arguing

[marble juniper]

I don't get what you don't get

[opal plank]

replying to a 2 month old message. bold move

[marble juniper]

also yes that message is ancient

more ancient than IBM computers

[sudden geyser]

What does IBM even do today

[mental raven]

Help?

[sudden geyser]

May I ask what version of discord.py you're using

[mental raven]

uhh

How do I find that

[sudden geyser]

requirements.txt?

[mental raven]

the latest

[marble juniper]

do u even know python first of all

lol

[mental raven]

yes

[marble juniper]

a little bit or experienced

[mental raven]

a little bit

[marble juniper]

ic

[sudden geyser]

The error you're getting means you're trying to compare a str with an int (not allowed in Python; must be the same type). It's ambiguous since I don't see you doing comparison in your source code and the traceback only points towards files in the internal library.

[mental raven]

I never compared them

lmao

[sudden geyser]

I'm not saying you did. I'm saying the error did:

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: TypeError: '<' not supported between instances of 'str' and 'int'

[mental raven]

is it because of the list.sort() ?

[sudden geyser]

Maybe. The error still says otherwise.

[mental raven]

hmm

I have an idea

i will try it

it didn't work ._.

I am trying to get 5 values from Firebase then sort them from the bigger to the lower and then i am trying to get their parent to say that he has the more money..

[slender thistle]

I fail to see what you didn't understand in that message

It's outdated because intents are not mentioned. If I recall correctly, Discord enforces intents since API v8/v9, so even if it works now doesn't mean it should be recommended as a guide

Feel free to share your POV if you think it's worth being discussed, I don't mind

[green kestrel]

hi there shiv!

people are going to WANT to update to API v9 soon

which means code lacking intents simply will. not. work.

because v9 got threads

and if discord.js don't pull their finger out and release a stable version with slash commands and threads they're gonna get left behind

all their good stuff seems to be on their beta

[mental raven]

./..

Help?

[mental raven]

My code

[slender thistle]

You shall suffer.

[marble juniper]

I wont use beta in my bot yet

obviously

but I will try it out ig using a new bot account

just to play around with it

slash commands support looked really nice to me

easy to use

[earnest phoenix]

Vortex hackban is ip ban how

Someone telling me

[sudden geyser]

When you ban a user from a guild/server, it's by IP.

[zenith terrace]

every bot does. It is the same as using the ban buttons on discord

[rocky hearth]

how could I stop nodemon from restarting on new file creation

[sudden geyser]

Is this useful? https://github.com/remy/nodemon#packagejson

[rocky hearth]

naah, I think its not possible, what i want

[pale vessel]

https://github.com/remy/nodemon/blob/master/lib/config/defaults.js#L18
https://github.com/remy/nodemon/blob/master/doc/sample-nodemon.md
Perhaps change runOnChangeOnly to true?

[rocky hearth]

runOnChangeOnly didnt work, but what it actually do

[opal plank]

@rocky hearththats almost the whole purpose of nodemon, why not use forever, pm2 or bash to startup/maintain scripts?

[rocky hearth]

thanks for mentioning, I'll look up them

hey can u mention what is ur development environment in ts to make bots?
I do yarn watch:dev, to start testing the bot locally

idk, if it is proper dev env. I've heard of using ts-node, but the package require-all doesn't seem to work with it (as it requires js files)

[opal plank]

@rocky hearth gimme 5,in the bathroom rn

[rocky hearth]

😆 , no worries

[pale vessel]

Have a good shitting session Erwin

[opal plank]

Ty, it was quite enjoyable

[slender thistle]

Shitty situation

dist gang

[rocky hearth]

hmm, y u hv added DOM in lib?

isn't it used on frontend frameworks?

[opal plank]

cuz i have a local http server built in with it

[rocky hearth]

ooh ok

[opal plank]

my local website/admin panel runs off inside the bot cuz i was too lazy to create a decent token gen for a public api

[rocky hearth]

in paths does ~/* have special semantic meaning?

[opal plank]

it does

allows me to dynamically import everything in there, regardless of pathing

cuz it makes it available everywhere

[sudden geyser]

is that intentionally spelt wrong

[opal plank]

shush

i just typed it to show it off

as hinted by the shadowed font

@rocky hearth

this is a good example

both of them work exactly the same

[rocky hearth]

what about ~/*

[opal plank]

same deal

that just makes everything in /src accesible for me if i type in ~/

[rocky hearth]

oh, so we can use any symbol?

[opal plank]

doesnt need to be a symbol

[rocky hearth]

ok so they dont have any special meaning
