development

[earnest phoenix]

I had the idea to use machine learning for auto mod features

Turned out to be more trouble than its worth

[rose warren]

Lots of server owners just give all bots and moderators admin permissions by default. You're fighting a losing battle. The ones who know what they're doing don't need a bot that does that. No offence or anything 😅

[earnest phoenix]

I learned my lesson wit hthat

I had a poppin discord server one time

Someone pissed someone off and it disappeared

[rose warren]

Yeah I've seen it happen before too. Lots of times. But never on a server I manage.

[earnest phoenix]

I wanna start a server

but lack of motivation

[lyric mountain]

User: "Hey I have a nice bot, can you add it please?"
Admin: "Sure, just gimme the link"
Also Admin: doesn't check invite perms and gives perm 8
Bot: fckin nukes the server
Admin: "ThEy HaCkEd My SeRvEr DiScOrD sHiT wOrSt SiTe EvEr"

[rose warren]

Lol or bot dev submits nuking bot to top.gg... Like, guuurrlll...

[lyric mountain]

as my old teacher said, NO amount of security will prevent a dumb user from doing dumb shit

[rose warren]

I've seen owners claim bots have deleted their servers before

Go figure

[earnest phoenix]

pfft

bottum deleted server plez help

[lyric mountain]

it's like people who get their account "hacked" from nowhere

except they click sketchy links and use dodgy clients

[rose warren]

As one of people in charge of product development at Microsoft said once in a webinar I watched, "it's not a question of if you get hacked, but when".

[lyric mountain]

lul

[novel snow]

Still manno, Its a challenge for me, I am shit at most programming and just want to do things, I used to have a buddy to program these types of things with but he kinda died in a car crash so its just me now

It was his idea before

And now I want to make it

[earnest phoenix]

👀

That took a dark turn

[rose warren]

It's a good idea to maybe check how many people on the server have certain permissions like "manage server" or "manage channels" permissions for sure. But apart from getting them to change their moderators and bots permissions, the reality is there's nothing much more you can do. Sorry to hear about your friend.

[novel snow]

Still see it as a challenge

[earnest phoenix]

I like your bot idea btw

[novel snow]

I know it will be quite useless

[earnest phoenix]

Good job on it

[novel snow]

I will do it

[rose warren]

Not useless for people who don't know any better 🤷‍♂️

[novel snow]

With my balls of glory and fury

[novel snow]

True

[rose warren]

And tbh, when I see 20% of the servers my bot is in it has admin permissions, I cry a little inside.

[novel snow]

Still had Wick as anti nuke on a server of mine for safety, Even though I know precisely how to set up all perms, Just in case something goes wrong or someone in a high position gets mad at me or some shit, Always wanted to make sure

[novel snow]

Only bots I grant admin are like Dyno, And my own,

I don't like Mee6

It mentions you so fucking much it gets so damn annoying

[earnest phoenix]

I have mee6 blocked

[rose warren]

These are actual stats. My bot never asks for administrator permissions.

[earnest phoenix]

oof

[rose warren]

That's server owners being lazy / not knowing how to do perms.

[novel snow]

Yeah

[rose warren]

They just make a "Bot" role with all the perms and stick it on all the bots.

[earnest phoenix]

Makes sense

[rose warren]

Does it tho? 😂

[novel snow]

I don't make community servers since I quit that shit a while ago, But I do make servers for groups like in game servers, For example on one group, And it is quite common for spies and shit or just insiders to just having experience with perms from before is very usefull, Nothing can really go wrong in my servers, Other than the occasional dumbass who decides to post gore in general but yeah

[earnest phoenix]

Oh why ofc

Less work

I stopped making discord servers after I realized I was never going to be successful in growing em

[rose warren]

If you make an anti-nuke bot though, you need to have a disclaimer somewhere saying you can only make recommendations and if people don't follow your recommendations you can't guarantee their server isn't nukeable.

Because at the end of the day it's up to them.

[novel snow]

I made one which was very active and pretty gucci, Just couldn't be bothered anymore, I just lost interest, \

[novel snow]

Yeah

[earnest phoenix]

I made 1 active server and someone blew it up cause a mod made another mod mad

[sudden geyser]

Permissions aren't very friendly to begin with for users

[rose warren]

This is true but it's easy enough to find best practices online.

[sudden geyser]

Maybe, but for users (and even me), it's a nightmare

Understanding hierarchies of roles, categories, channels, and text/voice/stage/etc.

How they get applied and in what order

And the way Discord applies permissions to new and existing roles is even more frustrating

[earnest phoenix]

I myself still struggle with it

[sudden geyser]

So everyone just wants to throw administrator and never have to think about it

and users really shouldn't have to think about it

[rose warren]

Yeah so those checks are the best an anti-nuke bot can do.

[copper relic]

When installing an npm package gloabally, and then trying to use its CLI, this happens: zsh: command not found: slappey

[sudden geyser]

I manage this server with 400 members and I'm so reluctant to fixing some channel permissions because it's just so tedious and may accidently expose channels I don't want for a second

[wheat mesa]

The average user doesn't want to go through all the permissions of bots to make sure they can't nuke the server. They're too trusting of the idea that "Oh it's a program it can't be used maliciously!"

So they just give it administrator and forget about it

[earnest phoenix]

restart the terminal

or make sure you have node on the path

[rose warren]

Yeah but even if the dev isn't malicious, what happens if the bot's host gets hacked or the token gets compromised? The dev might still be completely innocent and their bot might still be able to nuke the server.

[copper relic]

how do I do make sure

[wheat mesa]

Saw that happen to a 100k+ member server

Their custom bot token got leaked

[earnest phoenix]

can you run node or npm

[rose warren]

Yeah 🤷‍♂️

[wheat mesa]

Pinged @everyone thousands of times before it was shut down

[earnest phoenix]

without doing weird stuff

[wheat mesa]

I don't think they gave it ban perms though

Otherwise that would've been a mess

[quartz kindle]

as if anyone would fall for that (nitro scam)

[pale vessel]

unfortunately they do this a lot since people actually fall for them

[earnest phoenix]

wait free nitro where

[digital ibex]

node 17

[pale vessel]

new feature in node 17

[digital ibex]

you've got const Client twice

[earnest phoenix]

I wonder why you are getting this error

Fuck wrong emote

I apparently no longer have that emote since i left that server

sad

[sudden geyser]

names (identifiers) are case sensitive.

[median moss]

(JS)
How can I make my bot to only work if a person has a role?

[sudden geyser]

You don't need to create the client two times either.

[earnest phoenix]

Why are you declaring two clients anyway

[sudden geyser]

So you may be new to JavaScript.

[pallid jungle]

@sudden geyser I want to upgrade to v13

[sudden geyser]

Do you know JavaScript well

[earnest phoenix]

Thats not how you do it

[digital ibex]

if (!<Member>.hasRole('idk if this is a function in any lib')) return

[pallid jungle]

Not yet

[sudden geyser]

Then let's start there

[median moss]

thx

[digital ibex]

yw

[hexed sedge]

P sure that doesnt work

[earnest phoenix]

hasRole isn't a thing

[pale vessel]

why is it not a thing

[earnest phoenix]

Hasn't been for many versions

[hexed sedge]

Agreed

Why isnt hasRole an actual function

I want it now

[pale vessel]

it was

[earnest phoenix]

It was

but its not anymore

[median moss]

so what can I use instead?

[hexed sedge]

It was

I want it to be

[earnest phoenix]

You have to go through the RoleManager iirc

[hexed sedge]

Present, not past

[earnest phoenix]

<Member>.roles.has or smth

[pale vessel]

ever since they moved to cache managers they just ask you to use collection.has()

[earnest phoenix]

actually no

[pale vessel]

O

[hexed sedge]

member.roles

[pale vessel]

cash

💸

[hexed sedge]

cash

[sudden geyser]

How about start here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript

[earnest phoenix]

Yea

[digital ibex]

dont worry guys, node 18 is out: js String.ptrototype.addRole = function() { return message.guild.members.addRole(this) }

idk if <Members>.addRole is a thing

btw

[earnest phoenix]

Its not

[pale vessel]

why is it not a thing?

[hexed sedge]

||Yay node is finally of age!||

[digital ibex]

but if it isnt node 18 is broken

[earnest phoenix]

shut the fuck up

[pale vessel]

so rude man

[sudden geyser]

divided by 2

[digital ibex]

u just a node hater

[hexed sedge]

bc apparently if it has good function, it is bloatware

[digital ibex]

go back to assembly

[sudden geyser]

what's really wack is mutating the prototype

[hexed sedge]

I have no fucking clue what that means, thank you

[sudden geyser]

it means that X.prototype.y = z

[hexed sedge]

Thank you for the explanation

here is the gold

[quartz kindle]

String.prototype.send = function(...args) {
  const channel = client.channels.cache.get(this) || client.users.cache.get(this);
  if(channel) { channel.send(...args); }
}

"7346587364853672355".send("hi");

:^)

[digital ibex]

No

[pale vessel]

why not?

[earnest phoenix]

That is actually useful

[digital ibex]

because he missed semi colon. gettin me angry 😠

[earnest phoenix]

Makes life easy

[earnest phoenix]

JS doesn't need semi colons so ha

nerd

[digital ibex]

Yes

[sudden geyser]

depends

js is mixed about semicolons

[earnest phoenix]

Typically it doesn't

If you were to make an async function about something tho

then you need it

that fucks shit up for some reason

[pale vessel]

no bro it needs semicolons so much it automatically inserts them for you if you forgot to include them

so you're wrong

[earnest phoenix]

No

[pale vessel]

destroyed and facts and logic

[hexed sedge]

Why are you questioning everything around you?

Like shouldnt you be questioning other things that are more important?

[pale vessel]

You do have a point

[earnest phoenix]

Well

whats important?

[hexed sedge]

I dont think shitposts on a discord server is important to question

[earnest phoenix]

What is classified as important

[hexed sedge]

I dunno, the climate crisis for example?

[earnest phoenix]

your classification as important could be different than flazepe's

[hexed sedge]

it could be, or we could have a mutual agreement on what could be classified as important, and unimportant

[earnest phoenix]

Wanna know whats important

the meaning of life

what is it?

[hexed sedge]

no

try again

[earnest phoenix]

tf you going to tell me no

you aren't me

[hexed sedge]

right

[earnest phoenix]

If I value it as important to me then it is important

[hexed sedge]

i forgot i can have a different view point on whats important or not than you

[hexed sedge]

that is true

im not sure i quite understand what to value as important or unimportant yet

[sudden geyser]

I've never had a case where that was necessary, though I've heard about it. A more trivial case would be:

let a = "b"
[1, 2, 3].forEach((c) => console.log(c));

Woo, hoo!

[earnest phoenix]

What the hell

why does that even happen

[sudden geyser]

javascript

[earnest phoenix]

Also yea

[hexed sedge]

based js

[earnest phoenix]

Not using a semi colon on a async function causes issues for me

[sudden geyser]

it's because it's really doing "b"[1, 2, 3]

[earnest phoenix]

in most cases

[hexed sedge]

how

[earnest phoenix]

Cause its doing exactly what klay said

(async => ())()something

it pulls it onto the same line

and makes shit weird

[hexed sedge]

tf

[pale vessel]

then use them

[earnest phoenix]

I do

[pale vessel]

Ily

[earnest phoenix]

prettier at least does

I don't remember to do it all the time

so what I miss prettier does for me

[hexed sedge]

imagine not using eslint

[earnest phoenix]

eslint is so fucking garbage

and annoying

[hexed sedge]

Just need to steal someones rules

And your based

[earnest phoenix]

Even then

its absolutely annoying

red lines everywhere

[sudden geyser]

when I started programming I had this 300 line eslint file

[earnest phoenix]

When I started programming I didn't use a linter

[sudden geyser]

I think linters are fine, but I prefer to default to what the language gives me (e.g. Rust's clippy)

[hexed sedge]

when i started programming, i did shitty decisions

[sudden geyser]

we all did

[earnest phoenix]

I used vsc

[sudden geyser]

do you use emacs now

[earnest phoenix]

now i used webstorm

Actually I dont use webstorm anymore

cause I dont program in js/ts anymore

Im swapping to the golang

[hexed sedge]

I use vsc

bruh

[earnest phoenix]

Which I use GoLand for

most based Golang IDE there is

[hexed sedge]

Literally has Go in its name, ofc

[earnest phoenix]

yea so

[hexed sedge]

anyways

what should i make a guide on next? i already did basic get api and command line tool

How to breathe would be good

[pale vessel]

"how to prototype pollute in JS"

[hexed sedge]

i dont even know what a prototype is

[earnest phoenix]

who knows what anything in js is tbh

[hexed sedge]

true

all i know is...

[earnest phoenix]

well

tim probably does

[quartz kindle]

so i made my own erlpack in js and its only 15% slower than discord's c++ erlpack (running in js), not bad for a first run

[earnest phoenix]

this mf knows everything

[earnest phoenix]

Noice

[quartz kindle]

its not really worth it tho

its still 3x slower than json

[hexed sedge]

Invent the next json i dare u

[pale vessel]

aka JSON5

[hot star]

Anyone here use wavelink?

[pale vessel]

JSON5 is amazing

[quartz kindle]

erl is a bit smaller than json, but the performance diff is not worth it

[hexed sedge]

wtf is a json2+3

[quartz kindle]

json+zlib is pretty much the best combo

[hot star]

Json5?

[quartz kindle]

jason 5

[hot star]

Or json101

[hexed sedge]

are u cheating on me with someone called jason 5???

like maroon 5???

[quartz kindle]

hey if you're still around and still interested, im pretty much doing this right now

[hexed sedge]

sus

[pale vessel]

when both Tim are smart

[hexed sedge]

I finished a game of csgo with someone called tim on my team, and he didnt do well

anyways, fr what should i make a guide on?

how to breathe is on the table ngl

how to use brain is also a good one

[pale vessel]

how to play Rush E on a piano would be a good one

[hexed sedge]

Ahh a man of culture

[hot star]

+1

[hexed sedge]

My brain isnt that sophisticated, lets pass that to the piano player tim

[rose warren]

Yall see context menus in the API just now? 👀

[hexed sedge]

no i dont pay attention to anything

is Tim good?

he do be typin tho

[rose warren]

I've been wanting something to be able to bookmark messages for so long...

[hexed sedge]

Like a bot or something like that?

[quartz kindle]

(node.js v16.6)
~1760 GUILD_CREATE packets:

json:         ~41.2mb   ~600ms
json+z1:      ~7.9mb    ~800ms
json+z2:      ~6.7mb    ~650ms
etf:          ~39.8mb   ~1250ms
etf+z1:       ~7.6mb    ~1400ms
etf+z2:       ~6.2mb    ~1300ms

z1 = packet compression
z2 = zlib-stream (synchronous)

[hexed sedge]

@rose warren are u using linux? if so, ill make you something similar

[rose warren]

No. Guess what OS i use?

[hexed sedge]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I need to use my brain on this one

[boreal iron]

It must be Windows I’m sure

[rose warren]

😂

[hexed sedge]

No he is deffo using Solaris

[hot star]

I have some dozens of laying around need some?

[rose warren]

It's a total coincidence btw

My username is based off my surname

[hexed sedge]

Sure

[boreal iron]

Damn my MacBook has a hardware issue and Apple refused the warranty shit

[hexed sedge]

My username is based off....

Absolutely nothing

I dont code assembly

[rose warren]

Yeah my next mac will be purchased from the UK or Ireland. There's 4 years of warranty there under the consumer rights laws.

[hexed sedge]

I could have used ICodeInJavascript but 1 long and 2 js? lame

[hexed sedge]

Ireland 🇮🇪

[rose warren]

Fellow Irishman?

[hexed sedge]

Just searched up irish, and i saw irish hook????

what does that mean

[hot star]

Every product in Ireland have 4 yr warranty?

[rose warren]

We're hella off topic

[hexed sedge]

i was born in ireland, but was happier there ngl

[rose warren]

#general guys 😂

[hexed sedge]

p sure

[rose warren]

Sorey

[boreal iron]

They need to swap the mainboard and Touch ID chip which will cost ~ 1000 bucks
But selling it on eBay with that issue actually won’t result in much money I get
It’s just 2 years old

But a good idea tho

[hexed sedge]

@rose warren Is the source for your rpc open?

[hot star]

I just wanted to ask if someone knew how to use wavelink

[hexed sedge]

bc like I want rpc

But like, how

[rose warren]

No because the process also does other things like local db backups

[hexed sedge]

hecc

[sudden geyser]

how does that stop it from being open source though

[hexed sedge]

I guess bc sensitive data

[rose warren]

Because I can't be bothered to clean it up to share

[sudden geyser]

cringe

[hexed sedge]

I keep getting German ads wtf

[final obsidian]

So I want my bot to now have like music features how do I do that?

[sudden geyser]

make music stuff

search up what your set of tools currently has

[hexed sedge]

Depends, there are a few ways to do so

[sudden geyser]

e.g. a library

[hot star]

Wavelink but idk how to use it

xD

[sudden geyser]

aka be more specific

[hexed sedge]

^ This is also useful

[final obsidian]

Yeah I might look it up but I code on node

[hot star]

For js it's called lavalink

[sudden geyser]

If you use Discord.js, there's a voice library that comes separately

[final obsidian]

So pretty much it's a different library

[hot star]

More like framework I guess

I don't understand it fully

Still learning

[final obsidian]

I'l work on updates when I get my laptop back..

But I have a question

[pale vessel]

Lavalink is the program itself

Wavelink is the library/wrapper

[hot star]

@pale vessel u know how to use wavelink with discord.py?

[final obsidian]

Should I use repl.it as my main ide for programming or visual studio code?

[pale vessel]

There's lots of libraries for JS too, like Erela.js and Shoukaku (based wrapper)

[sudden geyser]

Visual Studio Code.

[hot star]

I prefer vsc if you are new you can use repl

[pale vessel]

Nah, I use shoukaku

[hot star]

New name Into my dictionary 👍

[final obsidian]

What are the advantages in coding in visual studio?

[pale vessel]

None?

[hot star]

Try it out you will find out

[final obsidian]

Ok I will set it up later

[sudden geyser]

Keep in mind that Visual Studio is not the same as Visual Studio Code.

[final obsidian]

I know I used both of them

[sudden geyser]

There are (probably) no advantages.

[final obsidian]

But I like visual studio code better since I used it in a Friday night funkin mod. Don't ask

[pallid jungle]

if (message.author.Client) return;
^

TypeError: Cannot read property 'Client' of null

[final obsidian]

I don't think client is required

[sudden geyser]

You should start by learning JavaScript.

[final obsidian]

I did

[pallid jungle]

No required

[sudden geyser]

Not you.

[final obsidian]

Just remove .Client

I think

Tell me if it fixed it

[pallid jungle]

Yea i am working on it but i want to fix that

[pallid jungle]

That won't fix the problem

[sudden geyser]

If you want your client instance just access the property for it (message.client)

[pale vessel]

You sound like you know what you're talking about

[pallid jungle]

I will try

[final obsidian]

I'm not the best but at least I tried to help

[pallid jungle]

Np bro

[pallid jungle]

Not working

[sudden geyser]

what isn't working about it

[pallid jungle]

It log the messages from Client users

Wait i will try something

[final obsidian]

Let me check something in replit

[hexed sedge]

how

[earnest phoenix]

wavelink

tf is that

[pale vessel]

I assumed it was a wrapper in python

Heard it somewhere

[hexed sedge]

Searched it, couldnt find it

Only a few german companies

Maybe I should turn off my german vpn

[pale vessel]

Search in Python Package Index

[earnest phoenix]

cant be bothered

[tardy hornet]

i have a giveaway command, but if the bot crashes/restart it wont end them, like it will just keep going after i turn the bot on (database: quick.db)

[earnest phoenix]

Do you want them to end

sounds counter productive

[pale vessel]

You gotta check em on startup

[earnest phoenix]

Really you want them to start again on startup tbh

[tardy hornet]

yes if the giveaway end time ended when the bot restated, but if the giveaway end time was not suppose to end it will just keep on doing the giveaway (wont stop the timer)

[earnest phoenix]

What?

If the timer is up during which the bot is offline

[pale vessel]

No, like giveaways that are supposed to end end up starting is what they meant

A

[earnest phoenix]

just check the giveaways on startup

[pale vessel]

Fucking internet

[earnest phoenix]

and end the ones that should end

[pale vessel]

Check if the end time is less than the current time

[tardy hornet]

idk how

[earnest phoenix]

Same

[pale vessel]

How do you store your giveaways

It depends on the structure you laid out

[amber thistle]

is it possible to add a bot to a server without needing to manually invite it?

[earnest phoenix]

No

Thats the whole point of bots

they need to be authorized to join

[long crow]

Right click menu rolled out quite fast.. Have not fully read the docs

https://discord.com/developers/docs/interactions/application-commands#message-commands I guess this is their solution for message intent on moderation part?

[earnest phoenix]

What

[long crow]

Basically like this, right click on someone message to evaluate the content

[lyric mountain]

Hm

That one's nice

[long crow]

don't quote on me for that though, I have not fully understand on it

[lyric mountain]

Probably the only use case I have tho

Maybe inspect card? Idk, I don't see too much opportunity for that

[earnest phoenix]

same

[long crow]

It still too new, have not fully discover it, and of course, djs with it slow pace.. kekw

[errant flax]

idk whats the use for context menus

[lyric mountain]

They are menus

But contextual

[errant flax]

discord.js@13.0.1-dev has it

[long crow]

I need to do refactor(s) again for it on some codes, kekw

[errant flax]

context menus rnt in mobile tho

[quartz kindle]

right click -> kick/ban is too hard, lets do it with bots instead
typing ban/kick commands is too hard, lets do it with context menus instead
right click -> app -> kick/ban is too hard...

we've come full circle

[long crow]

just delete the server, easy

[vivid fulcrum]

tasker integration soon ™️

[lyric mountain]

Taskede

[errant flax]

[long crow]

I don't see much use for context menu as now, unless I want some cringe command like right click this x member - send "hug" text with cringe anime hugging

[sudden geyser]

I think they could be very useful

Just right click and perform some special action

It's just up to people to find a use for it (else poof)

[long crow]

might be useful for others. Right now, it does not much useful for my use case

[vivid fulcrum]

maybe when we get dialogs

[sudden geyser]

For example, instead of running /sanction <user> [reason] [options] or whatever, you can just right click the offender and bring up a dialog for more details

[fallen holly]

can someone help make a slash command handler

[sudden geyser]

Your library probably offers guides or an official API to using slash commands

[long crow]

Maybe for a game like almost amongus, right click this user for others to vote s/he innocent or not

[errant flax]

lmao discord amongus

thats probably not a bad idea tho with context menus

[long crow]

well, make credit with my name if you make one, kekw

[lyric mountain]

The issue is how to win as imposter

It's not like you can kill anyone without other people seeing

Since you can't even know who's in the channel

[quartz kindle]

just by changing how bigints are read from the buffer, etf's decoding time went from 1800ms to 1200ms lol

[lyric mountain]

Tim

You're optimizeophile

[quartz kindle]

send help

[lament rock]

I also like to optimize things to obscurity

I like when things can run on my low end hardware

[errant flax]

ill make channels as like areas lul

[proper bolt]

is it possible to respond to an interaction in discordgo with just nothing so it doesnt say interaction failed?

i tried to do InteractionResponsePong but it didnt work

[errant flax]

no that isnt possible

u could either send a reply that isnt ephemeral then delete it quickly

[proper bolt]

im trying to just avoid the interactions api while providing slash commands

[slender thistle]

Can't you ACK it?

[proper bolt]

doesnt work

[slender thistle]

Just Discord things apparently

[proper bolt]

do i need to send any data along with the ACK

[slender thistle]

I don't remember unfortunately

Sec

https://discord.com/developers/docs/interactions/receiving-and-responding#interaction-response-object-interaction-callback-type

Unsurprisingly enough this is the only thing that can help somewhat

Other than that you're shit outta luck

[proper bolt]

yea im doing that

[slender thistle]

Then yeah I reckon you'll have to make do with that

[errant flax]

whats "ACK"?

[amber thistle]

so i have added markdown to my dbl, but the problem is, since my frontend takes the description of the bot, converts it to html:
from markdown to html

**hello**

<strong>hello</strong>

and it sets it as a html element, which is dangerous because users can type something like

hehe ur website is ruined<l>

because it treats the text as html, not a string

[slender thistle]

short for ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

[proper bolt]

{"message": "Value must be one of (4, 5)."}

it wants these

[slender thistle]

Yeah 6-7 are for message components

[proper bolt]

why does it exist if i cant use it

wait it might work for components

nvm i dont think it does

[slender thistle]

wdym if you can't use it

[errant flax]

whats the best way to detect when someone boost the server

[proper bolt]

like its not allowed as a callback type

for either components or slash commands

[slender thistle]

You mean 6 and 7?

[proper bolt]

no

1

[slender thistle]

Ah nah yeah

PINGs are for webhooks, not gateway

[proper bolt]

ah

[slender thistle]

https://discord.com/developers/docs/interactions/receiving-and-responding#receiving-an-interaction

[proper bolt]

i dont like the interactions api

[slender thistle]

Who does?

[proper bolt]

can i cancel a deferred response

[snow urchin]

Any reason why interactionCreate would not be receiving guild specific commands?

[proper bolt]

hmm i can but then it doesnt show who ran the command

[snow urchin]

im just not receiving them at all, quite frustrating

[proper bolt]

any code?

[snow urchin]

well, I just have a console.log(1) at the very top of the interactionCreate event and run the commnad, global commands work fine, guild commands do not

[proper bolt]

yes can you show any code for how you register them

[snow urchin]

I just created them with the api before v13 even released 🤷‍♂️

[earnest phoenix]

Is this against discord tos? the bot watches the status of my bot. Is that against tos?

[knotty steeple]

no

[earnest phoenix]

Ok

[errant flax]

wait how do u even tell if a bot is offline

[quasi hearth]

<User>.presence.status === "offline" (discord.js)

[eternal elbow]

How can I convert a number to as many bits as I want?
Example: 20 => 000000000000000000000000000000000000010100

[snow dragon]

alright im having issues, how do i go about deleting the last message my bot sent in a channel using only channel ID

i can get the lastmessageID of the message in a channel but i cant get the content

when i do client.channels.cache.get(id).lastMessage.content it only gives me my message

the rest are null

[sterile thicket]

Is this how I log and trace the rate limit and see how many requests remaining?

!e client.on('rateLimit', (info) => { 
    console.log( `Rate limit hit ${info.timeDifference ? info.timeDifference : info.timeout ? info.timeout: 'Unknown timeout '}`)
})```

[summer acorn]

ok so apparently this is a problem in djs v13, so if you're going to check what type of channel your slash commands are used in, make sure to check if there actually is a channel with the interaction first

[marble juniper]

or just use

interaction.isText()

these methods

[summer acorn]

I was already checking if the interaction was a command before checking the channel type

[marble juniper]

ok

[long crow]

Are you checking for dm?

Use .inGuild() or check .member property

And dm become DM now

[errant flax]

wait slash commands can be used in dms?

what the fuck

[marble juniper]

don't even think they can

[earnest phoenix]

Yes,If you edit every sec,recommended is 1 min

[marble juniper]

no they can't

[errant flax]

?

this is in a dm channel

[marble juniper]

bruh

[errant flax]

tf

[marble juniper]

so they can

lol

[small tangle]

global commands appear everywhere

guild commands obv in the guild they're registered

[errant flax]

so i have to check if guild exist in a command interaction then

[marble juniper]

yes

[small tangle]

depends on the interaction

[earnest phoenix]

wdym

[small tangle]

my commands are completely fine in dms

[marble juniper]

I have 2 commands

[errant flax]

most of my commands r guild based

[marble juniper]

that require you to be in a guild

[errant flax]

for eg. settings

[marble juniper]

same

has to read and write data for the guild in the database

[small tangle]

since i dont have to offer per guild prefixes anymore, i dont need guilds

[earnest phoenix]

So when it's edited, it's not against tos?

[marble juniper]

I store other settings

lol

[small tangle]

yeah sure, depends on the bot purpose

[earnest phoenix]

In which interval do you edit?

[errant flax]

does it count as a bug or someth

[earnest phoenix]

I use replit

[errant flax]

bc i feel like slash commands rnt supposed to be in dms

[small tangle]

i have a tamagotchi bot, so it only interacts with user, independent from guilds

[small tangle]

why?

[marble juniper]

that didn't answer the question

[errant flax]

since uknow there commands?

[marble juniper]

there were already large bots

that have commands usuable in dms

[near stratus]

let him Google what interval is

[marble juniper]

lol

then what math is

[earnest phoenix]

Yes idk what that means

[small tangle]

e.g. mod mail and reports could be good in DMs

[errant flax]

good point

wait do u still need the partial tho?

[small tangle]

but i mean with emphemeral (?) messages this could move to guilds to be fair

[earnest phoenix]

I don't get it?

[marble juniper]

true

since only you see the messages so

[small tangle]

yeah

[errant flax]

imagine using ephemerals in dms :dog_kek:

[small tangle]

but they are gone once discord reloaded, something to keep maybe in mind

[earnest phoenix]

It will edit the text when the bot is offline

[near stratus]

who are you so advanced in the field of science ?

[errant flax]

[small tangle]

im using emphemerals for error messages to keep the chat cleaner

[errant flax]

i mostly use ephemeral messages to keep chat cleaner

except for some cases,
like ban warn etc.

[marble juniper]

same

[earnest phoenix]

is This against tos? The bot will track the status.. i just wanna know if it's against tos

[marble juniper]

it shouldn't be

lol

[earnest phoenix]

I need to take a bath now brb

[small tangle]

should be fine, just dont spam the api i guess

[marble juniper]

yes

[earnest phoenix]

ok

[small tangle]

but i guess most wrappers handles ratelimiting before you hit the limit

[errant flax]

djs v13 doesnt anymore

[small tangle]

well

[marble juniper]

doesn't djs queue the request

if it got ratelimited

[errant flax]

i think ive remembered something that djs community says that v13 doesn't handles the ratelimits anymore

[marble juniper]

thats stupid

at least let the request be queued

lol

[errant flax]

wdym by that?

[marble juniper]

like if you got ratelimited

[errant flax]

stop the action or something?

[marble juniper]

it sends the request after the ratelimit cooldown is over

[hollow depot]

i have a question, in djsv13, can i use ephemerals also without interactions? like, with a ‘normal’ command

[errant flax]

until the ratelimits is gone?

oh..

[marble juniper]

yes

it resends the request

after the cooldown is over

so like if ur ratelimited for 10s

it sends it after 10 seconds again

when its no longer ratelimited

lol

[errant flax]

dont think djs v13 do that anymore

[small tangle]

at first glance id say no, but im not sure

[errant flax]

i remembered me getting ratelimited, it didnt queued the req

dont ask why/how i got ratelimited but

[marble juniper]

no

they can only be used in slash commands

[hollow depot]

k, thanks

that sucks tbh but anyway

[marble juniper]

article says so too

[small tangle]

while (true) {
    event.getChannel().sendMessage("To the ratelimit and back!").queue();
}

[hollow depot]

yeah im at the beach rn i cant read it lol

[errant flax]

you can only send ephemerals with interactions for eg.
slash commands, btns, context menus

[errant flax]

what does that do

[small tangle]

no like in terms of ratelimiting

i mean it would spam ton of messages

its the java wrapper of discord

[lethal trout]

in my purge cmd
How would it be if I don't want it to delete pinned messages?

[woeful pike]

make discord sad

[small tangle]

this too

but in my very first beginnings of learning JS and coding a discord bot i forgot to check if the author is a bot... well my chat was full pretty fast

[errant flax]

[small tangle]

smooth brain moment

[errant flax]

bet the bot had a lot of levels/j

[small tangle]

levels? :o

[wooden kindle]

how do u find out the biggest Guild ur bots in

[feral aspen]

You want a code?

[wooden kindle]

i mean i just wanna know how

or code

something like that

if its the name of the server

the inv link anything

[small tangle]

you could compare the membercount of each guild

[feral aspen]

I can write it for you.. but I hope you could understand how I did it.. since I'm not only going to spoonfeed.

[wooden kindle]

if u can do that for me

[feral aspen]

Let me write it...

[wooden kindle]

that just takes rlly long

[wooden kindle]

discord.js?

[feral aspen]

Yes.

[wooden kindle]

okay good

[feral aspen]

Please understand the code afterwards.

let orderedMap = bot.guilds.cache.sort((a, b) => b.memberCount - a.memberCount);

let i = 0; // Start of for loop.
let msg = ""; // Starts as empty string to start adding the servers' name, member count (which you will see below)

for (const key of orderedMap.keys()) { // Start of for loop
    if (i >= 30) break; // Showing Top 30 servers.
    let guild = orderedMap.get(key);
    msg += guild.name + " - " + guild.memberCount + "###"; // How you organise the list.
    i++;
};

msg.split("###")

[wooden kindle]

i dont understand what tf this is

[feral aspen]

Read the comments?

[wooden kindle]

ok ok i see

top 30 servers i see

i put this in index file im guessing ye

[feral aspen]

What??

[small tangle]

msg[0]?

index on a string?

[feral aspen]

Woops.

[rocky hearth]

// try this
const guildWithMaxMembers = client.guilds.cache.reduce(
  (guildWithMaxMembers, guild) =>
    guildWithMaxMembers.memberCount < guild.memberCount ? guild : guildWithMaxMembers,
  client.guilds.cache.first()
)

[wooden kindle]

okay i will in a min

[feral aspen]

That returns the object.

[feral aspen]

This is the list.. depending on the user on what he wants. 🤷‍♂️

[rocky hearth]

he does want the guild with max members right?

[feral aspen]

Pricesely.

By the way.. I have a question. Writing it down...

I have this leaderboard command which takes from all the document in my MongoDB database and loops around them making it a leaderboard.. now is there a way to try getting the leaderboard for the specific server the command is executed in only not the global one?
I believe I have to try fetching, do some code to get the users who has a document in the server the command is executed in.. and check if the user has a document then add him to the list?
https://sourceb.in/zLHskSoVy5

[hot star]

I guess you have to make separate table for each server

[rocky hearth]

I would be saving the user data along with guild Id. So I could fetch all the docs having a specific, guildId

than it would go normal, as u r doing with the global leaderboard, just that, it would filter out the docs u dont need at first place

[hot star]

Rn i am storing all user data with their ID

as an key

[feral aspen]

name: "HamoodiHajjiri",
userID: "528256079101034506",
lb: "all",
money: 10586811,
bank: 20

That is how I do it? (Ignore "name")

[hot star]

not perfect for all situation but works for me

[feral aspen]

How's the leaderboard for a specific server not global then?

[rocky hearth]

do u want the user data to be same, in all guilds? If the user is in multiple guilds?

[feral aspen]

Suppose I have 10 users.. 3 users in that server has a economy document, so it will show the leaderboard for that 3 users.

[hot star]

for that i think you have to make different table for each server or parse threw all members in that spacific server put the data into the list and then sort it out each time when someone runs the command

[feral aspen]

Damn..

[hot star]

I only do global leaderboards xD

[feral aspen]

Can't I loop through all the users in the server, check if each user has a document, if so, add his ID to the array, then descend the array from the greater coins to low?

.. or is that rate limit/API abuse?

[rocky hearth]

save the guildId too, in that doc.
then fetch all the docs, that has the guildId the command is ran in.
Thats how, I would do it

[feral aspen]

👍

[feral aspen]

What about this?

[rocky hearth]

that would require to access the database multiple times.

[feral aspen]

I don't think?

[rocky hearth]

would be very slow.

[feral aspen]

Yeah.. would be.

For each user having a document, if do, then add his id to the array, yeah, too slow.

@drowsy crag

[hot star]

y u don't give up?

same link for idk how long it will not work

[feral aspen]

L

[hot star]

mods please delete this scam link before some use it

[feral aspen]

Probably 10 people clicked already. 😂

[quartz kindle]

i sure did

[hot star]

lol

[feral aspen]

VPN? 😂 🤣

[quartz kindle]

nah

[feral aspen]

.. they do get your IP, afaik?

[quartz kindle]

they're likely recording whatever you type in username/password, so im sending them garbage

they cant do anything with my ip

[feral aspen]

😂

[small tangle]

whats next? sign into steam using your discord?

[feral aspen]

Sign into discord using your steam. 😂

[small tangle]

fill that DB

[feral aspen]

Sign into YouTube using snapchat.

Get free nitro by entering your credit card. 😂

[earnest phoenix]

You can't do much with a private ip ,maybe track

[quartz kindle]

all websites track your ip anyway

[feral aspen]

True.

[hot star]

use threading with python and send them packets of data with wrong id and password xD

[quartz kindle]

xD

i believe someone here already did

[hot star]

300 response / sec

[quartz kindle]

they got ratelimited by the scammers

lmao

[feral aspen]

I know some dumbass developers like to use their IP for an advantage, they usually tell you (try this website), if I don't like it, they use my IP and start threatening, this is why I use a VPN.

[quartz kindle]

using your ip as a threat is not worth anything

[rocky hearth]

what's the difference?
/\n+/ and /[\n]+/

[quartz kindle]

its an empty threat

[feral aspen]

Regex.

[quartz kindle]

its like trying to scare you with a rubber knife

[rocky hearth]

they both are

[feral aspen]

Uhm...

I need to figure out what \n was again, I know it makes a new line. 👀

OH.

[hot star]

"/[\n]+/" this is regex probably

[rocky hearth]

that regex is for replacing multiple new lines with a single one
but what [ and ] is for?

[feral aspen]

/\n+/

.. basically finds a new line in a string.

[quartz kindle]

they seem to match the same thing

[boreal iron]

Not only that most non third world ISPs can handle that shit anyway

[feral aspen]

let string = "Hello there.\nI am HamoodiHajjiri";
let reg1 = /\n+/;
let reg2 = /[\n]+/;

console.log(string.match(reg1)); // [" "]
console.log(string.match(reg2)); // [" "]

Weird.

[rocky hearth]

they both are doing the same thing, yes! why?

[hot star]

u use [ ] for checking multiple patterns like [A-Za-z1-0] something like this i guess so

[feral aspen]

[ ] means a set of characters.

[rocky hearth]

so here, i dont need one. right?

[feral aspen]

After further testing.. no.

[hot star]

try it out using different inputs that you are excepting from user

[earnest phoenix]

How could i track top.gg votes in my bot

[boreal iron]

You wanna use global and multiline as flag to let the regex don’t stop after the first match

/…/gm

[rocky hearth]

I want a regex, to match multiple new lines, not a single one. How do I do that

[boreal iron]

Did you read what I wrote above your message?

[real helm]

Hello

Who help me to do a regexp for js

[boreal iron]

/\\n/gm

[real helm]

I have that: /\d{1,3}/gm

for match all 1-3 long numbers

thats good

[young rune]

@warm swan speak here

[real helm]

but i need to match this: 1/4

[warm swan]

How do i set the dots in the top.gg desc?

[real helm]

#topgg-api

[young rune]

head to unicode dictionaries

[young rune]

not related to top.gg api, nothing to do with any webhooks or sorts

[real helm]

oh okay okay, my bad

[young rune]

I advice you to take revise on html for creating descriptions

like <a> and basic headers

else markdown will also do the trick

[warm swan]

oh

[quartz kindle]

wdym set the dots?

[boreal iron]

He means a HTML li

[quartz kindle]

ah

you can do that with markdown

[boreal iron]

<ul>
<li>item</>
<li>item</>
</ul>

[spark breach]

Hello people, I am trying to make a ban command but I can't figure out how to find out if a person has a higher role or not. Can anyone help? I've tried searching on google and this is what they recommended, didn't work

                        message.channel.send(Error4);```

member is a const for ```const member = message.mentions.users.first();```
and Error4 is an embed

Thanks in advance!

[warm swan]

i never coded in html

[quartz kindle]

* item
* item
  * subitem

[young rune]

mhm

[young rune]

then use markdown

[warm swan]

what does

<ul>
<li>item</>
<li>item</>
</ul>
``` do?

[young rune]

it is much easier.

[boreal iron]

Well yes or markdown

[young rune]

creats lists

but i won't use lists anymore

[warm swan]

is there a eval command in the server?

[young rune]

i rather use <br> all the way

xd

[young rune]

wdym?

[warm swan]

to test the code

lol

like

.eval [code]

[young rune]

wdym?

[warm swan]

just pass it 😂

[young rune]

mk

[warm swan]

is a command to check a code

[young rune]

mk

noted

ima look up on that-

[warm swan]

how do i set links?

[young rune]

read

https://www.markdownguide.org/

[boreal iron]

There are bot in here but who knows their command prefixes

Try #commands

[spark breach]

the bot creator do :p

[young rune]

i can't ever remember prefixes

nor my own bot

urgh

[spark breach]

oof

[young rune]

i made it well dam confusng

[warm swan]

@young rune make a check prefix command

when the bot is mentioned

[spark breach]

I just made mine *

[young rune]

i know

im just lazy

:/

cause i made changeprefix commands

which makes me literally forget

[warm swan]

i have that too

[young rune]

as i have to check what server

:/

[quartz kindle]

that wont be a problem anymore when you move to slash commands

[young rune]

mhm

[quartz kindle]

:^)

[boreal iron]

Aye

Was about to say it

[young rune]

but slash commands ain't on discord.py yet officially

[real helm]

how can i regexp that 1/4 to work with any number

[young rune]

:<

[spark breach]

btw can someone help? xd

[warm swan]

i will try to use the code that @boreal iron sent

[spark breach]

rip

[young rune]

am using third-party libraries

like dislash.py,

but their slash commands don't even work

so-

only buttons do.

[spark breach]

oof

[quartz kindle]

cant you just use their dev version?

[young rune]

:/

[rose warren]

member.manageable will return a boolean telling you if your bot can manage them or not. This applies for all moderation tasks.

[young rune]

why would i do that

[quartz kindle]

d.py dev should support that already

[spark breach]

alr ty

[quartz kindle]

better than using third party libs

[young rune]

eh i'll have to make some changes and prepare for some instability tho

[warm swan]

i m already lost

😂

[young rune]

i'll take my chances then try dev versions, maybe after its beta o'll try

[warm swan]

Ohhh

i see i see

[young rune]

i rather you use markdown..

[warm swan]

nah i got this

[young rune]

using <> can be confusing at times

[warm swan]

nah dw

[young rune]

with markdown all you gotta do is write -

:/

[warm swan]

what about the other buttons?

[young rune]

liek text links?

[warm swan]

just another type of buttons

like

circle

[young rune]

do <a href="yourlink"> your text here </a>

[warm swan]

a empty circle

[young rune]

oh

[warm swan]

<a href="yourlink"> your text here </a> this also helps

[young rune]

<button style = "border-radius: 50px;"> hi </button>

it'll make the button circly

[warm swan]

alright

awesome

[boreal iron]

50% not 50px

[young rune]

i use px sorry

[rose warren]

border-radius: 50% is better practice. It'll always be round no matter how big the element is.

[young rune]

mhm

[quartz kindle]

for you to see the difference

[rocky hearth]

with regex, I want to select more than one repeating A
"helloAthereAAworldAAA" - I only want to select AA and AAA here.

[young rune]

literally makes no sense why you would want to downgrade tho

[boreal iron]

Eww Tim go away with your magical converter

[young rune]

if you alr know html what for learn markdown on the same thing :/

[quartz kindle]

wut

its literally a pic from google images

[boreal iron]

[young rune]

XD

[rose warren]

Oh there I was thinking Tim went to all that trouble n all

I was having a moment

[boreal iron]

Me too

[young rune]

nice

[quartz kindle]

i went through the trouble of searching for it

[young rune]

is it really hard

[quartz kindle]

took a whole minute

[young rune]

bet google finds that for me...

:/

[quartz kindle]

:^)

[young rune]

..

[quartz kindle]

lmao

[young rune]

mac deleted the message

O_O

[rose warren]

😂

[boreal iron]

You’re here and responding which means you’re bored anyways, aren’t you?

[warm swan]

didnt set the button

empty one

[young rune]

wdym empty?

[warm swan]

wait

[quartz kindle]

im in bed, just woke up

[warm swan]

i used the link script

[quartz kindle]

dont feel like getting up yet

[warm swan]

holy crap

[boreal iron]

lol

[quartz kindle]

perks of being unemployed

[boreal iron]

Yeah woke up 15 mins ago bc you know… something wanna gets out my body

[young rune]

technically i think asking google to search for u is more efficient

then searching google manually

[warm swan]

<button style = "border-radius: 50%;"> hi </button>

[young rune]

you'll miss out a whole bunch of details

[quartz kindle]

ew poopoo

[warm swan]

do i gotta change the button style?

[young rune]

the style element must be added

[earnest phoenix]

Wrong chat

[young rune]

for the circly part

[warm swan]

How lol

[quartz kindle]

you need to learn css

[boreal iron]

A bed with an integrated WC + smart fridge…
Damn I would never stand up again

[young rune]

just use markdown damn

:/

[quartz kindle]

dayum

[young rune]

if html isn't ur thing

[quartz kindle]

you cant style with markdown alone

[young rune]

mhm

[quartz kindle]

you need css for styling

[young rune]

yeah

but you need to learn slowly

html is quite easy ngl

@warm swan if you are still lost, you can try w3schools or other docs about html

they have a pretty rich doc

[sterile thicket]

Is this a spam?

setInterval(() => {
      bot.user.setActivity(`I have around ${bot.guilds.cache.reduce((x, y) => x + y.memberCount, 1)} Members. Lmao!`, { type: 'LISTENING' });
    }, 60*1000);```

[young rune]

:/

i don't code in js so eh

[warm swan]

i am trying not to get confused

[young rune]

https://w3schools.org

[sterile thicket]

py reeeeeeeeeeeeee

[young rune]

...

aiyo

[warm swan]

can't reach that page

[young rune]

https://w3school.org

what was that webpage

[sterile thicket]

anyone else?

[rose warren]

Every 60s should be ok

[young rune]

oh

https://w3schools.com

finally

[sterile thicket]

really?

[young rune]

@warm swan

[rose warren]

It's too often in my personal opinion but... Technically...

[young rune]

:/

[sterile thicket]

What if I make it every 6s?
Bc I am not using api, so should it ratelimit me?

[boreal iron]

Save the last guild size in a var and check if (current guild size !== last size) then update the presence, if not return

[rose warren]

6s will get you rate limited

[boreal iron]

Oops wrong person

Damn

Wtf how did that even happen

[sterile thicket]

lol

[quartz kindle]

also, why is the reduce starting at 1 :^)

[warm swan]

<html>
<title>MODULES</title>
</html>

like this?

lol

[sterile thicket]

should start it at 0?

[boreal iron]

Nothing usually starts by null, yes

[quartz kindle]

well yes, unless you want your total count to have 1 extra member in the end

xD

[rose warren]

Well... Members also doesn't mean anything either but... 😂

[young rune]

mhm

that sets the title page

but uhhh

not nessary...

cause top.gg alr has a title for u :/

unless its an iframe

[rose warren]

My bot has over 1 million members across the servers it's in but only about 100k people with bot profiles. Members is a pointless statistic. They don't all use your bot.

if you're learning about html, this is important: doctype, html, head, body and script, those only apply to full web pages, not to top.gg

top.gg takes your html code and puts it inside an existing page

the existing page already has those, so dont put them yourself
