if you dont understand something ; come back and ask

[rugged epoch]

which ai is this

google vision ai didnt work

[cloud dawn]

It even described all the liens and if it makes an object.

[cloud dawn]

Google optical character recognition

[rugged epoch]

thats what im using

and it return DC

why does it return DC

[cloud dawn]

[dull terrace]

does discord have any protection against people who bot the bots

[rugged epoch]

they have hcaptcha

which is still easily bypassable

[cloud dawn]

If you mean bots solving captcha's/ reacting then no.

But they do have some tricks up their sleeves.

[dull terrace]

trying to think how you'd implement something that a bot couldn't bypass on discord

[rugged epoch]

they could just do what coinbase does

get id proof

💀

[dull terrace]

im sure that wouldn't kill your bot

[wicked atlas]

The best way to have a captcha that is harder to be botted by discord accounts is to take it off discord, and use an actual captcha

[rugged epoch]

i wonder why most bots havent done that

nvm

[naive briar]

You defined it as data

[cloud dawn]

Well image based captcha's get a long way since google still has that api for google devs only.

[naive briar]

Wait

[rugged epoch]

...

[naive briar]

They defined it, but you didn't

[rugged epoch]

do u have any files named captcha?

including the bot file

lol i didnt even read this

show the code

[naive briar]

Only thing that I can see is the error's description

[rugged epoch]

first off : dont use nextcord

second off : dont kick the user if they fail once

some captchas are so hard to read i literally cant solve them

how many times have u failed a captcha

give them 3 attempts

make a dict

ok

make a json file

def writeJson(userID: str, attempts):
    with open('questions.json', 'r+') as file:
        fileData = json.load(file)
        fileData["captchaAttempts"][userID] = attempts
        file.seek(0)
        json.dump(fileData, file, indent=4)```

check their attempts by loading the json, similar to this but just dont dump anything

then if they get it wrong, subtract their attempts by 1 and writeJson again

after u subtract the json and it reaches under 0

kick them

[rugged epoch]

example usage: writeJson(str(message.author.id), 3)

Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in Discord, you can paste your code here:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the floppy disk icon in the top right, or by typing ctrl + S. After doing that, the URL should change. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

[grand willow]

Oh thanks

[rugged epoch]

what

[naive briar]

It can't open the font file

[grand willow]

Couldnt find anything online on how to do something like that

But I randomly saw it here

[rugged epoch]

me too

i spent ages trying to find that example

no

[glad cradle]

consider using aiofiles instead of open

[rugged epoch]

its ur pc error 😂

[glad cradle]

!pypi aiofiles

[unkempt canyon]

aiofiles v22.1.0

File support for asyncio.

[rugged epoch]

C drive is really strict on files opened from unknown source

[shrewd apex]

use aiofiles to open then use json.loads to load it

[rugged epoch]

thats why i use usb

[shrewd apex]

that way it won't block

[glad cradle]

you could open a file with a non async method but for file-reading it's better to use aiofiles

[rugged epoch]

use aiofiles

[shrewd apex]

but u can still easily corrupt the file

[rugged epoch]

or bytesIO

bytesio will do the file without actually making it

like cache

[cloud dawn]

"bytesio will do the file" 😏

[shrewd apex]

thats for buffering its not gonna open and read the file

[shrewd apex]

ikr

[rugged epoch]

does the captcha module directly make the file

or does it return bytes content

lemme see ur code

[rugged epoch]

thanks, u can use pillow to open right?

[glad cradle]

it's non-async

[shrewd apex]

pillow is blocking too

[rugged epoch]

oh

[shrewd apex]

u need to run it in a thread

[rugged epoch]

discord thread or python thread

[shrewd apex]

discord ofc

[glad cradle]

your bot will be ratelimited

[rugged epoch]

u will get ratelimited a lot

is this bot public

or for personal use

it may be alright if u limit the number of threads

and then close them for inactivity

[glad cradle]

discord itself should have a limit of thread per-channel

[rugged epoch]

yea

work on the economy asap

and make it hard

but not too hard where people get bored

and not repetitive

if you add tons of new stuff to the economy then more and more people will come

[toxic sentinel]

ded

[cloud dawn]

Why would you need intent for modlogging?

[naive ermine]

Hello

I have an error says event loop closed and it come out of no where it doesnt let me run my code

[dull terrace]

more features != better bot

[wicked atlas]

Probably members, messages

[dull terrace]

focus on making one very good feature

[naive ermine]

It says something about python software doesn’t respond

Anyone can help me?

[slate swan]

nice

[cloud dawn]

Very true, most people want separate bots for separate tasks.

[naive ermine]

I want some help

[slate swan]

multiple features make bots messy tbh

take carl for example

[cloud dawn]

Pretty much, If it's a private bot I understand but else, why bother.

[slate swan]

show the traceback

[slate swan]

right, that was my point

[naive ermine]

It traces back to my python file

[glad cradle]

users will also probably just use one feature (the best feature offered by the Bot) so all the other features are just a waste of time and memory

[dull terrace]

it's not necessarily about that, it's true for any app or thing

imagine if google decided to make their homepage cluttered with stuff like weather and other random features

[slate swan]

Show. The. Traceback

[cloud dawn]

Stop describing windows smh.

[dull terrace]

[slate swan]

everything that comes into the terminal, jesus

[cloud dawn]

amen

[slate swan]

good point. I'm thinking of switching over to linux 😔

[dull terrace]

im switching to templeOS tbh

[cloud dawn]

I got a Linux running rn to see if I can run everything smoothly with what I'm doing on Windows. I've got to say, I am having some hiccups.

[wicked atlas]

Python implementation in holy c?

[cloud dawn]

Enable intents in the discord dev portal website.

[slate swan]

you haven't enabled intents on your bot's developer page but are seeking disabled intents from your code

[dull terrace]

holy c is the language of the future tbh

[cloud dawn]

I also recommend fully reading the traceback since it also literally contains the url.

[slate swan]

I see

[naive ermine]

oh ok

[cloud dawn]

Why would you want to know that?

[naive ermine]

thank you now i can make this type of stuff

[slate swan]

you can't find who deleted a message

[cloud dawn]

Well actually the audit log could have a pretty good guess on who removed it.

[slate swan]

rarely captures it

[wicked atlas]

Audit log only logs deletions, and only if they were deleted by someone other than the message author

[slate swan]

edited not delete

[naive briar]

message.guild returned None

[wicked atlas]

Was the message sent in a server, or a dm?

[dull terrace]

i think that happens if someone tries to use it in a dm

[rugged epoch]

only if ur bot can handle it

one way i can think of doing this is have a dict with unix timestamp

and then every 1 hour you loop through every user to see when their last command was and if its smaller than the unix timestamp u saved then send a dm to them

prob a bad idea but its one way

[vale wing]

Yes

[dull terrace]

autor

[slate swan]

otter

[vale wing]

Yeah you need to have a table with users and last command usage times, store the time when on_command (or on_command_invoke idr) and in the loop just select all users with time less than 3 days ago from current time, send them a message and delete them from table to prevent bot from continuosly sending messages

How to import discord _games
Because I'm getting error

ModuleNotFoundError : No module named 'discord_games'

[vocal snow]

What is discord_games

[light violet]

How do i register both appcomamnds and prefixed commands

[slate swan]

my on_message event don't let that the commands work

[edgy tundra]

When i typing
pip install discord-games
Another error coming is
File "stdin>", line 1 pip install discord-games ^ SyntaxError : invalid syntax

@vocal snow

[light violet]

@app_commands.command(name="set")
async def set(interaction:discord.Interaction):
await interaction.response.send_modal(name())
await interaction.response.send_message("Done")

Not getting the slash helpppp

[vocal snow]

That's not python code, it's a command for terminal

[light violet]

@vocal snowcan u help me

[vocal snow]

Are you using discord.py? Check out hybrid commands

[light violet]

@vocal snow cant use modal with taht

I need interaction

[vocal snow]

Then how will you use prefixed command

[light violet]

I just want to have this set cmd as slash

And rest prefixed

[vocal snow]

Then what's the issue

Just use different decorators

[light violet]

How to do that

I need to add the app commands

Gimme a test example without classes with both prefixed cmd1 and slash cmd2

[vocal snow]

See second pinned message for slash command guide

[spring needle]

Why it says botBase.load_extension was never awaited

[vocal snow]

In discord.py 2.0 load_extension and add_cog are coros, you need to await them

[spring needle]

When I await them it then says await outside function

[light violet]

@vocal snow btw how do i add all the guilds

[vocal snow]

You can only await inside async functions

[vocal snow]

Wdym

[light violet]

@vocal snow self.tree.copy_global_to(guild=discord.Object(id=12345678900987654))

[vocal snow]

Just omit that line

Sync the commands globally

[light violet]

@vocal snow

class SlashBot(commands.Bot):
    def __init__(self) -> None:
        super().__init__(command_prefix=">", intents=discord.Intents.default())
        
    async def setup_hook(self) -> None:
        #self.tree.copy_global_to(guild=discord.Object(id=12345678900987654))
        await self.tree.sync()

#bot = SlashBot()

client = SlashBot() ```

Got no response to my prefixed cmd as well as slash cmd btw hybrid cmds are working with only slash

[vocal snow]

What is format_emb

[grand willow]

how would the json file for that code look like. Will it be a dict or a array?

[light violet]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ifocujixug@Zeffo#0393

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ifocujixug

[silk fulcrum]

i think looking at this it's pretty much understandable

[dull terrace]

what are some must have channels for a bot server

[silk fulcrum]

that it would be a dict

[grand willow]

Makes sense

[vocal snow]

app_commands.command decorator only creates a Slash command object

You need to add it to the bot

[light violet]

How

[vocal snow]

Or just use @bot.tree.command decorator

[light violet]

I did client.tree.sync in on_ready

Which i didnot include here

[vocal snow]

What is it

...what

It's a string, send the string

[silk fulcrum]

if format_emb is a class which i think it is, this might me shadowing it

idk if that affects anything tho

[vocal snow]

No it's supposed to be a string

[light violet]

@client.tree.command(name="set")
async def set(interaction:discord.Interaction):
  await interaction.response.send_modal(name())
  await interaction.response.send_message("Done") ```@vocal snow  still cmd not registered

[silk fulcrum]

oh sorry, .format is a string method

i forgot bruh :dumb:

wait now u have a f string and using format on it wt

[vocal snow]

See you're doing {ctx.author.id} inside the string

But you aren't providing ctx to .format

You should change the ctx.author.id to author_id

[silk fulcrum]

and shouldn't it be 0.author.id

in .format things

[vocal snow]

Not necessary

[silk fulcrum]

oh ok

[vocal snow]

You can pass as positionals or as kwargs

[light violet]

@vocal snow hey why is my cmd not added to bot

[vocal snow]

Anyways, idk why an fstring isn't being used

[vocal snow]

I don't know, send code please

[light violet]

@client.tree.command(name="set")
async def set(interaction:discord.Interaction):
await interaction.response.send_modal(name())
await interaction.response.send_message("Done")

@client.event
async def on_ready():
await client.add_cog(anti(client))
#tree = app_commands.CommandTree(client)
await client.tree.sync()

This was above the previous one

[silk fulcrum]

cogs in on_ready 🤢

[light violet]

It was importted

It worked btw

[silk fulcrum]

that way to load cogs is so ass btw

[light violet]

Ok nvm

Why is my slash not registered

[patent wagon]

what page then?

that is FREE

[fading marlin]

either you're spamming something, or blame replit

[patent wagon]

im blaming replit

[shrewd apex]

as of now none

[patent wagon]

cos its the same code as yasterday

[shrewd apex]

only way rn cycle heroku and railway accs

[patent wagon]

bruh

[shrewd apex]

if u have a cc just use aws

[patent wagon]

cc?

[shrewd apex]

credit card

[patent wagon]

o

i kinda want it to be free

y not to use replit?

[shrewd apex]

just go check discord bot hosting

[light violet]

How to get interaction.user namr

Name*

[shrewd apex]

.name

[light violet]

Lemme try that

Thanks it workee

Worked

[pulsar solstice]

what is this error in json

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: KeyError: 'are'```

'are'?

[quaint epoch]

Code?

You're attempting to check for a key that doesn't exist

[cloud dawn]

It means that there isn't a key with the name "are"

[pulsar solstice]

@bot.command(aliases=["8ball", "8balls", "eb"])
async def eball(ctx, question):
    random_reply = random.choice(r8ball)

anyone got i idea why it isnt working?

[slate swan]

in the dev page?

on the page of your app

on discord.com/developers/applications

go to your current application > bot page

scroll down a bit and enable message intents

but really I'm just trolling

don't listen to me

why are you using str.format though and that too is wrong, why dont you use f-strings?

stop reposting

what do i need to install for the modules that arent installed its confusing me

[slate swan]

!rule 7

[unkempt canyon]

Rules

7. Keep discussions relevant to the channel topic. Each channel's description tells you the topic.

[slate swan]

where to ask?

emb_format.format

[slate swan]

#❓｜how-to-get-help or #python-discussion

ty

no, just remove that and put an f before the emb_format string, which makes it an f-string (see !f-string in #bot-commands for more info), and then you can directly reference that variable in the value like value=emb_format

!e```py
name = "Ashley"
string = f"My name is {name}"
print(string)

[unkempt canyon]

@slate swan :white_check_mark: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 0.

My name is Ashley

[hybrid pond]

can someone help?

[slate swan]

smh no

winners = 0
emb_format = f"winners {winners}"
embed.add_field(..., value=emb_format)

[wicked atlas]

What does that translate to?

[pulsar solstice]

how can I make my 8ball responces parmanent

[slate swan]

probably a broken identifier

[hybrid pond]

invalid url format#

[slate swan]

parmanent?

[pulsar solstice]

like if u ask the same question over and over again then it will provide u the same answer

[pulsar solstice]

like if u ask the same question over and over again then it will provide u the same answer

sorry of double

[slate swan]

make a cache maybe?

a dictionary that stores the last question and the response provided, then use a library like difflib or fuzzywuzzy to check the string similarity and send back the same response or a new one

[pulsar solstice]

I know that it is used but idk how it is used

where can I learn this

[slate swan]

that

is basic python knowledge impl

[pulsar solstice]

hmmm...

okay

[slate swan]

oh god, emb_format was just an example, remove that winners and all
just simple havre the format_emb and then pass it to the value. no parameters at all

format_emb = ...
embed.add_field(..., value=format_emb)
await send(embed=embed)

easy as that

right

define members and winner_count too lmao

before you use them in format_emb

members = ... winner_count = ...

[kind wind]

Is there like an only_for_server_ids function?

[slate swan]

huh? wdym?

members = ...
winner_count = ...
format_emb = ...

[slate swan]

could you elaborate? your use case and what exactly does that mean

huh

see the pins in #965291480992321536

[kind wind]

like this command can only be used if the server the command is being executed is one of the server id's

like i have 3 servers and i want a command to restrict to 1 server

[feral frost]

Question:
How do i put 2 buttons in 1 button callback ?

Code:

async def button(ctx):
    buttons = [
        Button(label="Title", style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary),
        Button(label="Title", style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary)
        ]
    
    
    async def button_callback(interaction: discord.Interaction):
        first_embed = discord.Embed(title="Title", description="Description")
        await interaction.response.edit_message(content="Editing embed!")

    buttons.callback = button_callback   

    view = View(timeout=None)
    view.add_item(buttons)
    await ctx.send(content=None, view=view)```

**Error:**
```discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'callback'```

[rare echo]

if ctx.guild.id == db or just a dict?

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.guild_only

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.guild\_only

@discord.ext.commands.guild_only()```
A [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check "discord.ext.commands.check") that indicates this command must only be used in a guild context only. Basically, no private messages are allowed when using the command.

This check raises a special exception, [`NoPrivateMessage`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage "discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage") that is inherited from [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure "discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure").

If used on hybrid commands, this will be equivalent to the [`discord.app_commands.guild_only()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.guild_only "discord.app_commands.guild_only") decorator. In an unsupported context, such as a subcommand, this will still fallback to applying the check.

[slate swan]

create a custom check, or check ctx.guild.id inside the command

[feral frost]

pls help 🙂

[slate swan]

yes you can ```py
buttons[0].callback = button_callback
buttons[1].callback = button_callback

[feral frost]

ok

[feral frost]

how do i put this in my code ?

[feral frost]

like what do i do with the list ? i keep it a list or do i do smth else ?

[slate swan]

just the same ig?

[feral frost]

?

[slate swan]

you don't need a list at all in the first place

[feral frost]

async def button(ctx):
    buttons = [
        Button(label="Title", style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary),
        Button(label="Desc", style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary)
        ]
    
    
    async def button_callback(interaction: discord.Interaction):
        first_embed = discord.Embed(title="Title", description="Description")
        await interaction.response.edit_message(content="Editing embed!")    

    buttons[0].callback = button_callback
    buttons[1].callback = button_callback   

    view = View(timeout=None)
    view.add_item(buttons)
    await ctx.send(content=None, view=view)```

[feral frost]

what do i do ?

[slate swan]

yes this will work except you'll get an error at the view.add_item.line

[feral frost]

lets see

yep

[slate swan]

for button in buttons: view.add_item(button)
``` replace it with this and it should work

[feral frost]

and i keep the list on top ?

[slate swan]

yea

[feral frost]

k ill see if it works

[slate swan]

the indentation, rest of the code after user = ctx.author has to be un-indented by one block

[feral frost]

it does thanku very much 😄 but 1 more question how do i now add another value to the buttons ? ```

[digital charm]

i c

[slate swan]

can you elaborate wdym by "add another value"

[feral frost]

yes like the 2 buttons do the same thing now i want them to do smth else

[slate swan]

well then create 2 different callbacks and assign the callback accordingly

[feral frost]

can i not do smth like button.values or smth

[slate swan]

there's a much better way to do this if you know how classes work

[feral frost]

i dont

[slate swan]

miss ashley will explain you the rest i gtg

[slate swan]

well then it would look like this ```py
async def callback1( ...): ...
async def callback2(...): ...

buttons[0].callback = callback1
buttons[1].callback = callback2

[feral frost]

ok

can i not use this

if buttons.values[0] == "Title": ?

[slate swan]

callback1 and callback2 being functions like your button_callback function earlier

[feral frost]

or ssmth

[shut axle]

How do I do the background for created_at?

[feral frost]

like the select interaction

[slate swan]

thats another thing, totally not related

[slate swan]

create a spoiler.

[feral frost]

but does it work ?

[slate swan]

thats an unix timestamp

[slate swan]

no

[feral frost]

why does it work for select but not for button ?

[slate swan]

because a button is a button and a select is a select

[feral frost]

ok well what if i want to make it in 1 callback ?

[feral frost]

is there like a way that looks like it ?

[feral frost]

ok so this is what i get

AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'values'

the same list error again

discord.utils.format_dt()
what do I need to type if I want to get the years? (Created At)

[sick birch]

format_dt() is not used for extracting years out of a datetime

[shut axle]

So how I get the years?

[sick birch]

!d datetime.datetime perhaps the attributes of the class may be of interest

What's wrong with ctx.guild?

[sick birch]

There is no ctx, I'm guessing whatever library they're using doesn't provide it

[digital charm]

smth like this?

        user = ctx.author
        cash, crystals, event_pearls, weapon_shards, fusion_earring, merging_stones, enhancing_stones = await get_bal(user)

Yes yes how?

[slate swan]

unindent smh

[shut axle]

How do I put it on my code? for the created_at

[kind wind]

why this error-

[cloud dawn]

Oh just use the utils function format_dt()

[shut axle]

discord.utils.format_dt()
and what should be inside the brackets to show me the years..

[cloud dawn]

dt meaning datetime object

Styles most likely a string with the format flag.

[feral frost]

i think you can do smth like {ctx.author.mention} or smth instead of <@...>

also

put an f infront of it

infront of " "

[mossy jacinth]

Hello everyone! I want to add a command thats only usable in a ticket channel. The ticket channel always has a new number at the end. So how could i do this?

[shrewd apex]

a close command?

[mossy jacinth]

no a add command so you can add someone from the server to the ticket

[grand willow]

@client.command()
async def add_user(ctx, channel : discord.TextChannel = None, user : discord.Member = None):
    if channel == None:
        await ctx.send("Enter a User to add")
    else:
        channel = channel or ctx.channel
        overwrite = channel.overwrites_for(user)
        overwrite.send_messages = True
        overwrite.read_messages = True
        await channel.set_permissions(user, overwrite=overwrite)
        await ctx.send(f'Added {user.mention} to the Channel')

gives them perms to see and talk in the channel

[mossy jacinth]

but isnt that command available in every channel then?

[grand willow]

yeah but u can change it to whatever you want

[mossy jacinth]

but how? I only want it to be used in tickets and the names are like ticket-#1 and i dont want someone use it in other channels that are only for staff

[grand willow]

if ctx.channel.name.startswith("ticket"):

[sage otter]

Are you just spoon feeding?

[grand willow]

no idea what that means

[left idol]

if i ping the user before sending the embed will it cache the user?

[rare echo]

spoon feeding = sending solution instead of explaining or teaching

[soft heart]

Is it possible to get the message id of a message when a button attached to the message gets pressed?

[grand willow]

Oh my bad

[rugged epoch]

whats the json response?

[sage otter]

you’d get the message associated with that button's View.

[teal tide]

hey how can i make a double use command for instance if i run it once it will say hi but if i run it again it will say goodbye? i also want to make a channel private via my discord bot

[slate swan]

i need help making a dropdown menu

i have a button option and after someone clicks the button i need the bot to send a dropdown menu option

[bold kernel]

Hi everyone, is it possible to use selenium with discord api ?

[quaint epoch]

no

[sick birch]

You can use anything with anything. The real question is how well will it work. The answer to that is: not very well. At least, without multiple processes or threading

[quaint epoch]

selenium was meant to interact with browsers

[bold kernel]

selenium is sync ?

[bold kernel]

I know it but if selenium is not async it will not really work as well

[sick birch]

Yes, that's what I'm saying

[bold kernel]

is there any way other ?

Like for requests, instead of requests : there is aiohttp for async

the same thing for selenium

or the same to scrape data of dynamic website

[slate swan]

idk how to make it so it sends an embed after a button is pressed can someone help?

if data[str(guild.id)]['users'][str(int.user.id)]['open_tickets'] <= data[str(guild.id)]['max_tickets']:```

it continues to create a ticket even though there is more tickets than aloud

max ticekts is 2 and i can create well over that

int is the interaction

[quaint epoch]

how about len()

[slate swan]

everything is synced

so i do len(data) <= len(data)?

idk how to make it so it sends an embed after a button is pressed can someone help?

[slate swan]

a button or a emoji

did you do a callback for t he button?

so when someone presses button a

i need it to send an embed

so then it does await ctx.channel.send(embed = embed)

did you do a clalback for it?

im new to python idek what that means ;-;

a callback function is something that adds onto the button after it is pressed

is yours a class or just a simple inside the command

import discord
client = discord.Client(intents=discord.Intents.default())
class YourBetterClassName(discord.ui.View):
def init(self):
super().init()
self.value = None

@discord.ui.button(label='Hi', style=discord.ButtonStyle.green)
async def a(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
    await interaction.response.send_message('hi', ephemeral=True)
    self.value = True
    self.stop()

@discord.ui.button(label='Help or Question', style=discord.ButtonStyle.grey)
async def b(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
await interaction.response.send_message('Please Ping a Mod/Owner', ephemeral=True)
self.value = False
self.stop()

@client.event
async def on_guild_channel_create(channel):
await channel.send(view=YourBetterClassName())

this is my code

should i do

instead of send message do send embed after interaction

[slate swan]

import discord
client = discord.Client(intents=discord.Intents.default())
class YourBetterClassName(discord.ui.View):
    def init(self):
        super().init()
        self.value = None

    @discord.ui.button(label='Hi', style=discord.ButtonStyle.green)
    async def a(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
        await interaction.response.send_message('hi', ephemeral=True)
        self.value = True
        self.stop()

@discord.ui.button(label='Help or Question', style=discord.ButtonStyle.grey)
async def b(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
        await interaction.response.send_message('Please Ping a Mod/Owner', ephemeral=True)
        self.value = False
        self.stop()

@client.event
async def on_guild_channel_create(channel):
    await channel.send(view=YourBetterClassName())```

ok so you have a class

yes

on the await interaction.response.send_message(embed = embed, ephemeral = True)

should i just remove that

https://cog-creators.github.io/discord-embed-sandbox/

because i dont want it to send a message i want it to send a embed

here is a gerat embed creator but doesnt have some features

only on the first button

yeah thats what i used

[slate swan]

do

interaction.response.send_message(embed = embed, ephemeral = True)```

its embed = embed

so

@discord.ui.button(label='Hi', style=discord.ButtonStyle.green)
async def a(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
await interaction.response.send_message(embed = embed, ephemeral = True)

then put the embed code

[slate swan]

@discord.ui.button(label='Hi', style=discord.ButtonStyle.green)
    async def a(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
    #Embed Coding Here
    await interaction.response.send_message(embed = embed, ephemeral = True)```

then it should send your embed everytime your button is pressed

ok it works

but now its not showing the 2nd button option

hmmm

[rocky trench]

Indent error

Are you new to python?

Indents are hard to explain how they work but once u know how they work, it's easy

[rare echo]

!indents

[unkempt canyon]

Indentation

Indentation is leading whitespace (spaces and tabs) at the beginning of a line of code. In the case of Python, they are used to determine the grouping of statements.

Spaces should be preferred over tabs. To be clear, this is in reference to the character itself, not the keys on a keyboard. Your editor/IDE should be configured to insert spaces when the TAB key is pressed. The amount of spaces should be a multiple of 4, except optionally in the case of continuation lines.

Example

def foo():
    bar = 'baz'  # indented one level
    if bar == 'baz':
        print('ham')  # indented two levels
    return bar  # indented one level

The first line is not indented. The next two lines are indented to be inside of the function definition. They will only run when the function is called. The fourth line is indented to be inside the if statement, and will only run if the if statement evaluates to True. The fifth and last line is like the 2nd and 3rd and will always run when the function is called. It effectively closes the if statement above as no more lines can be inside the if statement below that line.

Indentation is used after:
1. Compound statements (eg. if, while, for, try, with, def, class, and their counterparts)
2. Continuation lines

More Info
1. Indentation style guide
2. Tabs or Spaces?
3. Official docs on indentation

[slate swan]

yes

[rocky trench]

I'd say read the text above and if u don't get it google about indents

[slate swan]

i tried all different indentations

Send screen of ur code

this is my code

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py

```

These are backticks, not quotes. Check this out if you can't find the backtick key.

[rocky trench]

If u send ur code without using this way we can't see indents

[slate swan]

async def a(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
    embed=discord.Embed(title="Hi", description="Hiii.", color=0xc32828)

Enter after the py

At the start

[slate swan]

      await interaction.response.send_message(embed = embed, ephemeral = True)```

[rocky trench]

Also, could u maybe screen it? I'm on phone

[slate swan]

screen share?

[rare echo]

nah screenshot

[slate swan]

oh ok

[sick birch]

      await interaction.response.send_message(embed = embed, ephemeral = True)

is not inside of a function

yet it's indented like it is

so python is confused on what you mean

[slate swan]

yeah i tried different indentations

all didnt work ;-;

[sick birch]

it's not about trying different indentations, it's not a game. You need to know how to define functions and which lines of code are part of it

That beings said, how do you define lines of code to be within a function?

[rare echo]

following this everything shouldn’t all be inline

[slate swan]

i got it to work

but this happend

this is so frustrating

@discord.ui.button(label='Hi', style=discord.ButtonStyle.green)
async def a(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
    embed=discord.Embed(title="Hi", description="Hiii.", color=0xc32828)

    embed.add_field(name="456 :paperclip:", value="1", inline=False)
    await interaction.response.send_message(embed = embed, ephemeral = True)
    self.stop()```

@slate swan this is right?

[sick birch]

Can I see the view initializer?

[slate swan]

what are you trying to create

this?

are you leavingg code out?

import discord
client = discord.Client(intents=discord.Intents.default())
class YourBetterClassName(discord.ui.View):
    def init(self):
        super().init()
        self.value = None

@discord.ui.button(label='Hi', style=discord.ButtonStyle.grey)
async def a(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
    embed=discord.Embed(title="Hi", description="Hiii.", color=0xc32828)
    embed.add_field(name="123 :paperclip:", value="2", inline=False)
    embed.add_field(name="456 :paperclip:", value="1", inline=False)
    await interaction.response.send_message(embed = embed, ephemeral = True)

async def b(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
        await interaction.response.send_message('Please Ping a Mod/Owner', ephemeral=True)
        self.value = False
        self.stop()

@client.event
async def on_guild_channel_create(channel):
    await channel.send(view=YourBetterClassName())```

this is my whole code

[slate swan]

a automatic bot for my server

when someone makes ticket

why not when you create the ticket it auto matically sends the embed?

because it needs button options

[wicked atlas]

A view only includes message components. You need to send some form of content, whether it be message content or an embed.

[slate swan]

i just need it to send a embed after button "hi" is pressed

[wicked atlas]

Like I said, you need to include some kind of message content. For example,

await channel.send("these are some buttons:", view=YourBetterClassName())

[slate swan]

ok

[wicked atlas]

I would also take the suggestion of YourBetterClassName and use a better class name

[slate swan]

so send that before embed

[wicked atlas]

before what embed?

[slate swan]

idek where to put this

[rocky trench]

Well

U cant just send a naked button. It has to be stickied to a message

See the buttons below?

[slate swan]

yes

[rocky trench]

They're stickied to the message

[slate swan]

ok

[rocky trench]

U need to send a message and add buttons to that message

[slate swan]

so u want me to put something

like await interaction.response.send_message('Please Ping a Mod/Owner', ephemeral=True)

before the embed

[rocky trench]

u can add buttons on an embed too

U just need some kind of message to add the buttons to

[slate swan]

i thought python

didnt support that

[rocky trench]

It does

[slate swan]

still doesnt work

Its the wrong decorator

Check the GitHub examples please

!examples

!decorators

[unkempt canyon]

Decorators

A decorator is a function that modifies another function.

Consider the following example of a timer decorator:

>>> import time
>>> def timer(f):
...     def inner(*args, **kwargs):
...         start = time.time()
...         result = f(*args, **kwargs)
...         print('Time elapsed:', time.time() - start)
...         return result
...     return inner
...
>>> @timer
... def slow(delay=1):
...     time.sleep(delay)
...     return 'Finished!'
...
>>> print(slow())
Time elapsed: 1.0011568069458008
Finished!
>>> print(slow(3))
Time elapsed: 3.000307321548462
Finished!

im watching a vid on how to make a discord bot and i came across this line

should that data be reviled?

[slate swan]

dont understand any of this :))))

[patent wagon]

its this vid:

[sick birch]

don't do that

the discord bot videos are garbage

they're probably using replit or heroku for hosting

[patent wagon]

i already did that

but can somone do someting with that info

[patent wagon]

replit is dogshit however it is free sooo

[slate swan]

got it to work

:DDD

how do i make it so its not only i can see it and other people can see it

[novel kelp]

U can't use interaction.response.send_message twise , use interaction.followup.send

[slate swan]

yeah i realised

dyk how to make it so when the bot sends that its not only you can see this?

[slate swan]

I didn't do any class

yes, for your bot?

This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

[sick birch]

why would you be able to call ban on the bot instance

[zealous jay]

im

stupid

[slate swan]

im not understand XD

[sick birch]

I'm guessing bot.ban() was an older version? Like bot.say() or similar?

[zealous jay]

I should probably go to sleep, I didn't even realized

idk im just tired and got confused 🤦

[slate swan]

aaaaaa what

[slate swan]

m

[zealous jay]

I cant help you rn I need some sleep and cant help anyone like this...

[slate swan]

Okok

xdd

[sick birch]

.ban needs to be called on a member instance

[zealous jay]

user.ban

instead of bot.ban

i think its better to use member instead of user

because a member refers to an user inside a guild

right?

'AuditLogEntry' object has no attribute 'ban'

[zealous jay]

I didn't mean that

There you are giving "user" the value of an audit log entry

[slate swan]

yes

[slate swan]

what value should i give it?

@sick birchSorry for the mention, how can I solve this problem?

[sick birch]

!d discord.User.ban

[unkempt canyon]

Nope.

No documentation found for the requested symbol.

[sick birch]

nvm

!d discord.Guild.ban

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.ban

await ban(user, *, reason=None, delete_message_days=..., delete_message_seconds=...)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Bans a user from the guild.

The user must meet the [`abc.Snowflake`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.abc.Snowflake "discord.abc.Snowflake") abc.

You must have [`ban_members`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.ban_members "discord.Permissions.ban_members") to do this.

[slate swan]

i dont understand

[sick birch]

What do you not understand?

[slate swan]

when i use await ban it gives me an error, then if I try to ban a user it gives me the error 'AuditLogEntry' object has no attribute 'ban'

Sorry if I say something wrong, I speak Spanish

[compact swift]

!d discord.on_message

[sick birch]

yes because user is an AuditLogEntry

even though you passed in limit=1 it's an async iterator

it really only has one element but it's still an iterator

[slate swan]

I understand, and how do I stop being an iterator

[sick birch]

I'm not sure you can flatten it

!d discord.Guild.audit_logs

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.audit\_logs

async for ... in audit_logs(*, limit=100, before=..., after=..., oldest_first=..., user=..., action=...)```
Returns an [asynchronous iterator](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-asynchronous-iterator "(in Python v3.10)") that enables receiving the guild’s audit logs.

You must have [`view_audit_log`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.view_audit_log "discord.Permissions.view_audit_log") to do this.

Examples

Getting the first 100 entries:

```py
async for entry in guild.audit_logs(limit=100):
    print(f'{entry.user} did {entry.action} to {entry.target}')
```...

Can i add nitro emojis to my embed like ?

[slate swan]

Is there another way to ban a user when creating a channel?

[slate swan]

!dice_0

[slate swan]

I don't know

if len(data[str(guild.id)]['users'][str(int.user.id)]['open_tickets']) >= len(data[str(guild.id)]['max_tickets']):```

\💀

[slate swan]

XD

doesnt work even when i set my tickets to 0 could i get help?

why isnt it sending emoji id

[slate swan]

I don't know

[slate swan]

what are you attempting to do?

add a nitro emoji to my embed

like

where are you putting the emoji

because some places will not work and will just show :emoji:

in the text

are you using the emojiname:emojiid

no i did \ emoji

yes theat send the emoji name and id

<ablobhammer:586031065219596302>

<😉 :emojiid>

does work??

idk how to get emoji id

just do back slash your emoji

:w:

it sends that

nvm

?

it worked

977412187473719296 is the id

does anyone know how to make it so everyone can read this?

embed

instead only you can see this

remove ephemeral

[slate swan]

above

ok

if len(data[str(guild.id)]['users'][str(int.user.id)]['open_tickets']) >= len(data[str(guild.id)]['max_tickets']):```
it wont go past this

any reason why??

does anyone have an idea on how I can make this?

[torn sail]

the 3 minutes ago part?

[slate swan]

no all of it

ik how to make the embed

[torn sail]

what parts do u not know

[slate swan]

tags, page system, minute ago

[torn sail]

well im not sure about tags and page system but i can help you the the minute ago

<t:unixtimestamphere:R>

!d discord.utils.format_dt if you have a datetime.datetime object

[unkempt canyon]

discord.utils.format\_dt

discord.utils.format_dt(dt, /, style=None)```
A helper function to format a [`datetime.datetime`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime "(in Python v3.10)") for presentation within Discord.

[zealous jay]

@slate swan did you fix your problem?

[slate swan]

no xD

I'm looking for someone to help me code a Restore bot, so if my server gets deleted i can restore my members

[sick birch]

How do you plan on "restoring" members?

[slate swan]

Access token or sum

How Letoa or restorecode did it

[sick birch]

Using Oauth? you'll need to setup a website for that

[slate swan]

can someone help? its saying this is invalid syntax

[fading marlin]

1. Reset your token
2. why are you creating 2 instances of the same thing and naming them completely different things?

[slate swan]

huh?

[slate swan]

I would change your message content sir

i dont understand number 2

[slate swan]

i reseted token dw

do if message.content.lower

So if they do !BlAckJack

It will work

the

bot = commands.Bot ('!')

has syntax error

thats my problem

[fading marlin]

client and bot will be the same thing

just stay with one

[slate swan]

so make it

client = commands.client('!')

[fading marlin]

no, remove the whole bot = commands.Bot(...) thing, just use client as your bot object

also, just as best practice, you should name it bot instead of client

[slate swan]

how would i have a prefix then?

[fading marlin]

you're already setting a prefix in your bot constructor

[slate swan]

all i need to figure out

is to make this not a syntax error

[fading marlin]

you're not closing your parenthesis

[slate swan]

they're closed?

nvm

now theres an error on this

undefined name "prefix"

[fading marlin]

that's basic python, you're not defining prefix, and I'm guessing you're not defining intents either

[slate swan]

ok

i got this

now its saying this

[fading marlin]

read the error lol

[slate swan]

u dont see where i put intents?

i put intents under bot = commands

im VERY new to python

[fading marlin]

you need to put the intents inside the bot constructor

[slate swan]

hmm

i need to figure out how to do that

[sick birch]

!resources I don't think discord bots are a good idea then. Knowing intermediate python will only help you

[unkempt canyon]

Resources

The Resources page on our website contains a list of hand-selected learning resources that we regularly recommend to both beginners and experts.

[severe rampart]

commands.Bot takes multiple required arguments

[slate swan]

should i add client = commands.Bot(command_prefix = prefix, intents = intents

[severe rampart]

Yes.

[slate swan]

and remove the inents = discord.intents.all()

hmm

now its saying invalid syntax

[sick birch]

I think learning Python first is really a necessity here

[slate swan]

Its only a 2 minute fix

just need a little help

[sick birch]

No, it's not

Because you'll keep running into issues like this, that are all 2 minute issues. That adds up

It's only going to discourage you, since you're fighting with the language instead of using it as a tool

[slate swan]

I just need help on where to end the parenthesis man.

[sick birch]

The problem here is that

1. You're missing a closing parenthesis
2. You still have 2 instances of the same thing (commands.Bot)
3. You're defining intents after referencing it

[sick birch]

That's only a short term solution

I really don't like turning people away from coding what they enjoy, but at certain points they'll end up doing that to themselves by not knowing intermediate python before discord.py, which is not a beginner's library

[slate swan]

is there a way to get audit log entries for enabling community?

im stupid asf i forgot how to use fore for like 15 mins

😭

[sick birch]

happens to all of us

[slate swan]

ok

i imported colorama instead of doing

from colorama import fore

[robust fulcrum]

Guys how i can get image from message in dpy?

[sick birch]

!d discord.Message.attachments

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.attachments

A list of attachments given to a message. If Intents.message_content is not enabled this will always be an empty list unless the bot is mentioned or the message is a direct message.

[slate swan]

Anybody got any resolution ? This is the error im recieving await message.reply('What do you need to acquire from the One and Only Suspect. @glass ledge', mention_author=True) ^ IndentationError: unindent does not match any outer indentation level

[nimble acorn]

the indent of the print statement and await message.reply need to be the same

what you did is

if 'suspect' in message.content:
  print(f"""Message recieved !""")
 await message.reply('What do you need to acquire from the...')

it should be

if 'suspect' in message.content:
  print(f"""Message recieved !""")
  await message.reply('What do you need to acquire from the...')

[slate swan]

Thank you !

[nimble acorn]

np

[robust fulcrum]

I got empty list but there is image in the message

[rugged shadow]

you didn't enable the message_content intent

and yes i have my token in the real code

[keen talon]

Damn when was 2.0 released for dpy

[sick birch]

few weeks ago

[sick birch]

You need message content intents

[austere vale]

is it possible to have a discord bot block a user so they cant send them dms?

[slate swan]

didnt need that before?

[sick birch]

It's it's a new thing

I'm not sure how but I'll try

Oh, \n

u did an overwrite on channel

wait, lemme take a look first

I might havent looked good enough

can you print channel for me

You didn't read the avatar data

[robust fulcrum]

How to do that?

[naive briar]

await member.avatar.read()

[robust fulcrum]

Oh k thanks

[naive briar]

And if you want to open the image from bytes with PIL, you have to pass it as io.BytesIO or any bytes-like object

import io

...

avatar_data = await member.avatar.read()
avatar = Image.open(io.BytesIO(avatar_data))

[slate swan]

do you think that I can made a simple bot in one day

[shrewd apex]

yes

u can make one in 5 mins

[digital charm]

honestly it depends how complex the bot is and also the skill level of the person coding it

[slate swan]

It will just return one string

[digital charm]

ohk, then just around 10mins (assuming have an avg. laptop which could take a min or 2 to load... and you know how to code related to discord.py)

[digital charm]

how do I add this(I am unable to remember the term)
if there are a few questions, let call them tasks and there are 30 of them for each(planet, read the full thing, then u might be able to understand what I mean)
and there are the normal 8 planets so how do I make it so that the tasks(basically a few questions related to the planet and on answering the correct answer u get a specific amount of money) of a planet do not mix up with other planet and the person can select by doing the following cmd - (server prefix) planet (name of the planet/smth similar(provided by the bot) to select a particular)
Example(server prefix - ! ):
! planet
(the bot sends an embed stating:
1 - Mercury, 2 - Venus, 3 - Earth, 4 - Mars, 5 - Jupiter, 6 - Saturn, 7 - Uranus, and 8 - Neptune)
and on doing:
! planet 4
the bot sends the following embed:
You are now one planet Mars(4)
and finally on doing:
! task
the bot sends and embed(example):
Which is the biggest moon for planet Mars:
1️⃣ - Phobos
2️⃣ - Titan
3️⃣ - Deimos
the bot reacts with 1️⃣ , 2️⃣ , 3️⃣
and if the user with the correct a specific amount gets added to their wallet...

PS - Sorry for making it so lengthy...

[dull terrace]

super vague question, you might as well just be asking how to make a bot

[soft heart]

Ok how do i do that?

[digital charm]

ye, sry about that, actually I'm still a beginner...

[dull terrace]

just attempt to make it and then post specifically where you get stuck

[digital charm]

the main question is how do I add smth(for the case that I sent above planet) specific questions and how can I make people select a specific planet, it would be fine if u can give me a rough idea, or smth similar on the docs

[dull terrace]

you'd use the numbers or names of planets in button labels while sending an actionrow in the components arg when you send a message.

[digital charm]

ok, i c

[dull terrace]

then you use the custom ids that you pass in the buttons to see which they press

[digital charm]

k

then do I do an if statement to check and send the tasks/questions according or something else?

error on replit

discord bot with webscraper

[brazen raft]

It looks like you have been rate limited

[patent wagon]

i put the whole html error into a html reader and got this:

wtf does that even mean

[brazen raft]

You accessed discord.com too frequently

So this instance of replit is banned from it

[slate swan]

ratelimited cuz replit

[patent wagon]

how do i fix that

[brazen raft]

Stop your code from accessing discord.com so frequently

[patent wagon]

its a discord bot

how do i do that

[brazen raft]

What library are you using

Those listed on the Discord Developer Portal should not be rate limited

[patent wagon]

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

[brazen raft]

That tells me nothing about the library you are using

[patent wagon]

so discord.py ig

[vestal dagger]

I think pycord ?

[brazen raft]

If you are on replit, you should be able to see what libraries you have installed

[patent wagon]

how

[brazen raft]

It's in the packages tab in the editor

Well, the editor is a different view

It's one of the icons on the left side of the window, also where the settings for replit are

[brazen raft]

You don't need discord, just discord.py

Try uninstalling it

[patent wagon]

ok

gimi a sec

[brazen raft]

Also I see you are using requests which isn't asynchronous and therefore is unfit for this kind of a project

discord.py comes with aiohttp which is asynchronous

[patent wagon]

ill check that out

[cerulean folio]

Hi guys !
I have a serious concern since I just hit the end of the progression curve regarding basic python and discord.py and I now came back to my first bot project that I made (still working and used by 10k+ people thanks to all of u guys that helped me).

I'm getting into some advanced and professional practice such as cleaning my code and make it so it's pep8 friendly. Also reshaping the code to add OOP to it (so it's quite a big redesign).

All of these are going well but where my struggle is with learning unit testing...
And here's my question:

# Returns True if user_id exists, False otherwise
async def check_id(bot, user_id):
    try:
        await bot.fetch_user(user_id)
        return True
    except discord.NotFound:
        return False

# sayhi command will say hi to the requested id. Syntax: sayhi <discord_user_id>
@bot.command(name='sayhi')
async def sayhi(ctx):
        target = ctx.message.content.split(' ')[1]
        if await check_id(bot, target):
            ctx.send(f'{ctx.author}, you just requested me to say hi to {target} !')
        else:
            ctx.send(f'{ctx.author}, you requested a wrong ID.')

So since here I'm using discord.py library, with its classes, how am I supposed to unit test these using the unittest library?

[patent wagon]

but it works fine with it?

[limber bison]

should i create different db for each server named with server id and in db make tables ?
or any other approch ?

[brazen raft]

Whenever an HTTP/S request is made using requests, the bot's code waits for the request to finish and is effectively dead for all Discord is concerned (so the connection may be closed/lost)

[slate swan]

a row per server id is preferred

[limber bison]

for a single server i have to store economy system + modlogs etc

it will be effactive ?

[slate swan]

you can't really do that without having a running instance of "bot" but i think there was a library for discord.py testing

[patent wagon]

ok ill use the other library

what was the name of it?

[slate swan]

create a different table for each functionality then

[brazen raft]

I think it's aiohttp, and the import line is import aiohttp

[patent wagon]

tn

tnx

[limber bison]

why note different db for each ? just asking

[cerulean folio]

alright so the two options are rather using unittest while the bot is running, or use dpy testing lib?

[slate swan]

the async version of pytest should just be fine
https://pypi.org/project/pytest-asyncio/

[brazen raft]

@patent wagon, your replit instance might have been rate limited without your fault because of other people with whom you share the replit instance which have been rate limited (or a combination of both since you are all accessing discord.com in parallel)

[cold trout]

is there any way of storing discord channel msg history with bot? like in txt file or any other format

[slate swan]

thats your preference then, are you using sqlite?

use a db

[patent wagon]

i uninstalled discord

now i only have discord.py

wait I don't think I'm using pypi interpreter tho, I think i'm using cpython lemme check this (interpreters are still a bit confusing to me)

[patent wagon]

says this but it also said i uninstalled discord

[brazen raft]

Why is it still listed then

Well whatever

By the way are you accessing discord.com using requests or aiohttp explicitly

That matters too

[patent wagon]

requests

[slate swan]

pypi is not an interpreter, its the site you pip install stuff from lol
i think you're confusing it with pypy

[patent wagon]

ill swich to aiohttp

[brazen raft]

If you are explicitly accessing discord.com, it might just be that you accessed it too much

[patent wagon]

im not

[slate swan]

stop using replit to avoid that error

[patent wagon]

im acessing another page

[patent wagon]

very helpfull t

[brazen raft]

In discord.com?

[patent wagon]

wdym

[slate swan]

well thats the best help.

[brazen raft]

A page in discord.com?

[patent wagon]

im seding a command in discord and it acess another page

[slate swan]

you're using a website thats known for causing that issue, not using it is the only solution

[patent wagon]

what do you mean by a page in discord.com

[brazen raft]

Any endpoint under discord.com

[patent wagon]

it access minecrafrservers.org

[brazen raft]

Well then it's unrelated

[brazen raft]

It might just be this

[brazen raft]

In which case this is the best solution

[patent wagon]

fuck

[cerulean folio]

Ohhhh right Indeed !

[patent wagon]

any other free ways to host it for free?

[cerulean folio]

thank you again sarth, you're a hero in this channel dude

Yep

how?

That's actually really smart - my hosting fee is 10$ but I ask each client 15$ xD
