demn

[quick brook]

To me I will always be vested in mentoring others within this field, but this server isn't the best place to do so. Long story short, I'm taking a break from this server

[young dagger]

@quick brook Namecheap or Hostinger, good choice for VPS?

[glad cradle]

lmao, she said she is done with this server, it's 1 message above

[burnt coral]

AWS and Azure are my top go-to's

[slate swan]

what a shame

How can i add it so only a user with a specific role can run a specific command?

[glad cradle]

!d discord.ext.commands.has_role

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.has\_role

@discord.ext.commands.has_role(item)```
A [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check) that is added that checks if the member invoking the command has the role specified via the name or ID specified.

If a string is specified, you must give the exact name of the role, including caps and spelling.

If an integer is specified, you must give the exact snowflake ID of the role.

If the message is invoked in a private message context then the check will return `False`.

This check raises one of two special exceptions, [`MissingRole`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.MissingRole) if the user is missing a role, or [`NoPrivateMessage`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage) if it is used in a private message. Both inherit from [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure).

Changed in version 1.1: Raise [`MissingRole`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.MissingRole) or [`NoPrivateMessage`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage) instead of generic [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure)...

[slate swan]

so

?

@glad cradle

[glad cradle]

it's a decorator, you put that before the command callback

also read the docs

[slate swan]

yeah i did

i forgot to delete the "so"

so

so

[glad cradle]

so so

[slate swan]

why did it say only the first word?

[shrewd apex]

it didn't wanna speak more

[slate swan]

really?

[shrewd apex]

really

[slate swan]

it got tired of it

[shrewd apex]

show ur command code

[slate swan]

async def say(ctx, message=None):
    await ctx.send(message)

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/faq.html#why-do-my-arguments-require-quotes

this is actual solution ^

[shrewd apex]

ctx, *, message = ""

[slate swan]

local spoonfeeder 🥣

[shrewd apex]

i mean i don't have doc links in my pocket

[slate swan]

async def say(ctx, *, message=None):?

[shrewd apex]

yeah

[slate swan]

you cant use self outside class methods

[hasty pike]

Not even in decorator inside class?

[slate swan]

no cause decorator is not inside a method

its above it

[final iron]

Obviously not

[hasty pike]

Nice pfp ;-;

[slate swan]

if you need something from class as button name or else you need to create a custom button for that

[hasty pike]

Anyway I'll see

[hasty pike]

Create a custom button uhhhh

[slate swan]

or whatever it is if not button

[hasty pike]

Ohkay

[nova vessel]

How can I use the webhook.incoming URL generator to send webhooks to my bot directly and then process them?

[slate swan]

JSON is mostlikely used to exchange data

[nova vessel]

You can use Google Translate API?

There's quite a few ways to do it I believe

[meager rock]

use JSON to store translations

[nova vessel]

You can do a JSON like Down suggested but it will take time to translate everything your bot outputs into those languages

[final iron]

You’re going to write down every word?

Why not just use google translate?

Honestly, I find it pretty unlikely you’ve translated an entire language, and accounted for different contexts/tenses

For English apparently there’s 1m words alone, and English is one of the simpler languages

Then you have past tense, future tense and present

You also have plural and singular

And if it’s a language with different conjugations like French it gets even more complicated

[turbid condor]

Using Google translate or some other api is way better

What will you do incase of complex languages

[final iron]

Doing it manually is just not feasible

I’d rather have a few poor translations than just completely missing words

[turbid condor]

Wdym by translate features?

[shrewd fjord]

purrrfect

[glad cradle]

69 and there's my name, perfect screenshot

[turbid condor]

Rather than number I'm more impressed by the question

[glad cradle]

ig he's gonna implement localization

i18n

[shrewd fjord]

:3

so like
(prefix)setlang japanese

then u do prefix(help)

the texts it sends after u do help it gets translated to japanese or smthng?

[lunar vine]

@quick brook

how do i make a new class 😃

[slate swan]

class YourClass:
    # stuff

[slate swan]

Yeah that's some discord issue people have been reporting

Nothing you can really do about

[slate swan]

dont you see No pinging pls in their name

[pale zenith]

"That sign can't stop me because I can't read!"

[upbeat mason]

why does it show it isnt found?

[slate swan]

cause load_dotenv looks for .env file if you want to use other name you need to pass it to the function like this load_dotenv("super.env")

[upbeat mason]

alr ty

[lunar vine]

That sign can't stop me because I can't read!

[slate swan]

I mean, worst is not that

worst is that it's just a pointless ping

[bitter knoll]

Can anyone tell few discord bot games

[fiery girder]

is there anygood package and server than is free and i can use to transfer data from computer to it using python

[fiery girder]

anything that can be made in CLI can be made in a discord bot game

[turbid condor]

Tic tac toe, rock paper scissors xd

[turbid condor]

You mean cloud storage?

[fiery girder]

yes

[turbid condor]

U can use google drive for that

[fiery girder]

no

[turbid condor]

They have an api to interact with it

[fiery girder]

i dont think so

anything else?

[turbid condor]

https://developers.google.com/drive/api/guides/about-sdk

[fiery girder]

api docs for google sucks

[final iron]

No offense to them, but they can turn on DND or silence pings from this server

[fiery girder]

cause its not for python only its for all

[slate swan]

you are missing the point of an API

[fiery girder]

can this also work on some other computer without it asking passwords?

[slate swan]

its not a wrapper like discord.py its a raw API

[fiery girder]

ik

[slate swan]

maybe there is a wrapper in python for google apis

[turbid condor]

You don't need a password i believe it uses a token

[fiery girder]

hmm

can someone get my token even if i turn it in exe?

[slate swan]

if you know it then how can you say google docs suck

[fiery girder]

they still suck

[slate swan]

maybe you just cant read them?

[fiery girder]

yea cause they suck

[slate swan]

properly

[turbid condor]

It's not the docs that suck it's a understanding issue

Afaik google gives examples in multiple languages including python

[fiery girder]

anyway is there any other one cause i dont want my google token to be access from the exe i make

[turbid condor]

You can access nothing from .exe file

It's used to run a compiled file

Try opening a .exe in your notepad or ide

[bitter knoll]

Actually I want make those game in telegram too

[bitter knoll]

I already made that

[turbid condor]

I was just messing around

[bitter knoll]

Oh

[turbid condor]

You can try creating an rpg

[bitter knoll]

RPG ?

[fiery girder]

same thing for telegram aswell i think

[fiery girder]

great idea

[slate swan]

rock paper ground

[turbid condor]

Text based Role playing game

You can check the web for those

[bitter knoll]

Actually ya they are very similar

[bitter knoll]

Ohh

Thanks for the suggestion

[turbid condor]

There are many other options like a chess game, match 5

You can use images for those

[cold oyster]

Error handling a command when someone dosent have a role, Any idea how to do that

[slate swan]

Use decorators, handle the error according to docs

[turbid condor]

There is an exception for that in the docs

It's similar to other errors

[cold oyster]

@sg.error
async def sg_error(ctx, error):
    if isinstance(error, commands.MissingRequiredArgument):
        await ctx.send("MXNKEY! You did not provide the game number!")
        print(error)
    if isinstance(error, commands.MissingRole):
        await ctx.sendE("MxNKEY! You do not have enough permissions to run this command!")
        print(error)```
this does not work it gives out some other error

[slate swan]

Then handle the other error

[slate swan]

cause you dont have else: ?

[cold oyster]

huh?

[slate swan]

what if the error is not one of those two?

Also "sendE" doesn't seem correct

then it will just get through

[cold oyster]

thats what im confused abt

[cold oyster]

Then it should print the error-

wait yeah nvm

[slate swan]

i dont see a code for that

[cold oyster]

added that still same error

this SendE is confusing

[slate swan]

🤦

[turbid condor]

You are using sendE instead of send as simple as that

[cold oyster]

oh shit

[slate swan]

No, just replace it with send

Nothing confusing, just wrong function 🧠

[cold oyster]

nah bro fr i feel embarrased now

[mighty pilot]

What's the concern with having your token in your code? I understand that it's safer to put it in a seperate file like .env but I never knew why, just pushed the I believe button

[brazen raft]

If you ever need to share the bot's files you won't have to worry about leaking the token

.env files are usually ignored by Git, or you can set it so if you're using Git

[final iron]

A lot of it is because of replit, and other tutorials just copied it. You can also set files to be ignored when pushing to git so your token doesn’t get leaked

[mighty pilot]

Ah I see. Just an extra layer of protection to stop you from doing something dumb

[brazen raft]

I think replit has environment variables as a side tab thing though

[final iron]

Basically

It’s also easier to hold all your tokens/api keys in one file

[cold oyster]

What error is this
Command raised an exception: NotFound: 404 Not Found (error code: 10008): Unknown Message

It sends runs the command twice

Any idea why this is happening?

Its for all the commands too

[naive briar]

!traceback always send full tracebacks

[unkempt canyon]

Traceback

Please provide the full traceback for your exception in order to help us identify your issue.
While the last line of the error message tells us what kind of error you got,
the full traceback will tell us which line, and other critical information to solve your problem.
Please avoid screenshots so we can copy and paste parts of the message.

A full traceback could look like:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "my_file.py", line 5, in <module>
    add_three("6")
  File "my_file.py", line 2, in add_three
    a = num + 3
        ~~~~^~~
TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "int") to str

If the traceback is long, use our pastebin.

[cold oyster]

no trace back

[naive briar]

Then I won't know where the error came from

[slate swan]

you just sent a part of it?

[cold oyster]

No this is all it says

[cold oyster]

see

[naive briar]

That's what happens when you're printing the error, not raising

[slate swan]

you have any error handler?

[naive briar]

Which you shouldn't do

[slate swan]

cause you are most likely doing print(error)

[cold oyster]

1 sec

I am- how do I fix that

[naive briar]

Re-raise the error instead of printing it

[slate swan]

raise the error not print it

[cold oyster]

like this? py raise(error)

[naive briar]

It's a statement, but that works

just raise is enough in this case

[cold oyster]

@naive briar @slate swan the error

[lunar vine]

do you have the messages content or whatever it was enabled

[naive briar]

The traceback isn't any more useful somehow

[lunar vine]

[slate swan]

show your on_message event

nvm

[cold oyster]

I use commands im not old 😂

Its doing this for all the commands

[lunar vine]

that error?

[cold oyster]

Also If I did not mention Im using disnake and if this is useful

[lunar vine]

u dont have the thing enabled i think bro

[cold oyster]

which thing

[cold oyster]

intents? i do

[lunar vine]

in ur code and dev portal?

[cold oyster]

yes

intents = disnake.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=intents)```

If this is the right way

[slate swan]

yes thats good

[lunar vine]

okay then uh

what line is giving that error code

[cold oyster]

Bro everything was going good until now, I do not remember me changing anythingf

[lunar vine]

is it the print error from before or wut

[cold oyster]

when i use a command it uses the command twice

so basically all..?

[lunar vine]

the bot may or may not be running two times

are u running it on two code editors or vps

@cold oyster

[cold oyster]

1 editor

[lunar vine]

shut that down

and try a cmd

[cold oyster]

just did but didnt work

[slate swan]

yeah ill speak but i never tried it situation

The Discord.py documentation tells me how to create an embed thumbnail from a URL, but is there a way to do it from a file on the PC, or in the project folder? IE: photo.png?

[lunar vine]

file = discord.File("path/to/your/local/image.png", filename="image.png")

[naive briar]

See How do I use a local image file for an embed image?

[late reef]

tyty

[lunar vine]

how did u do that

file = discord.File("path/to/my/image.png", filename="image.png")
embed = discord.Embed()
embed.set_image(url="attachment://image.png")
await channel.send(file=file, embed=embed)

okay @cold oyster good luck on your journey thru python!

[upbeat mason]

should i use .json if i want to make a database?

[upbeat mason]

See [How do I use a local image file for an embed image?](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/faq.html#how-do-i-use-a-local-image-file-for-an-embed-image)

[slate swan]

no.

[upbeat mason]

why not

[slate swan]

cause json is not a database?

[upbeat mason]

still works though

i means theres sqlite3

[slate swan]

if something works doesnt mean its good

[upbeat mason]

tell me why not to use it

[slate swan]

https://www.pythondiscord.com/pages/guides/python-guides/why-not-json-as-database/

[lunar vine]

it works but its not that good

[upbeat mason]

god yall have a page for everything lmao

[lunar vine]

i think a txt file may or may not be better

[slate swan]

thats even worse than a json

[upbeat mason]

i think a txt file would be even worse

[slate swan]

ah yes, a database in a text file

[upbeat mason]

okay then what do you recommend

[slate swan]

I'd make a database in a PowerPoint document

[lunar vine]

works at the end of the day tho

[slate swan]

Sounds better to be fair

use a tool that is designed to store data ❌
use a text file ✅

🤦

[lunar vine]

^

[upbeat mason]

what do i use then

sqlite3?

[slate swan]

mysql, sqlite, mongodb, postgresql, redis

[lunar vine]

use a csv file 😋

[upbeat mason]

ight thanks

[slate swan]

whatever you like and suits you the most

[lunar vine]

which is the best

[slate swan]

there are not better ones

I wouldn't go for redis to be fair

Postgres is my go-to

But SQLite is also good for smaller projects

i use postgres daily

Changed in version 2.0: `emoji` parameter is now positional-only.

Changed in version 2.0: This function will now raise [`TypeError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#TypeError) instead of `InvalidArgument`.

[sick birch]

You can simply paste in the emoji

message.add_reaction("😊")

[late reef]

I made a mistake

[sick birch]

Yeah I'm not sure you can add reactions with the :name: syntax

[late reef]

I ended up figuring it out. Thanks!

[clever bronze]

    if message.content.startswith(f'{prefix}command'):
        await message.channel.send('Shut the fuck up!')

bot wont respond to the messages at all

even though its online

no error messages

[sick birch]

client.run(token)

This like is blocking. That means nothing after it will run

[final iron]

You shouldn't be defining 2 bot instances

Using on_message to create commands is also fundamentally flawed

Use the commands extension

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/commands.html

You shouldn't be mixing video tutorials, or using them at all

[clever bronze]

i see

[upbeat mason]

if you make your discord bot generate invites for every server it is in, is it against tos?

not really to do with code but still yk

[final iron]

Kinda?

If they're private servers, and the users didn't agree to this beforehand Discord wouldn't be too happy

[upbeat mason]

its complicated

cause like, i dont think its against tos to see how many servers your bot is in or which

but making invite links might be, what do you think?

[final iron]

No, but creating invites is a privacy issue

Private servers are private for a reason

[upbeat mason]

okay thanks

[late reef]

Going of of my question from earlier, I'm now trying to make the bot react with a green_square emoji. Except when I copy the emoji directly into the code, it ends up returning an enknown emoji error ):

[sick birch]

Can you paste your code?

[late reef]

I ended up figuring it out with a bit of searching. Turns out I was posting the emojis in the wrong kind of format

[austere vale]

Is there a channel or location anywhere here to hire a dev to help you make a bot?

[sick birch]

No

[harsh orbit]

class ticket_button(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.Value = None

    @discord.ui.button(label="🎫 Buy Now.", style=discord.ButtonStyle.gray)
    async def open(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.button):

Why when I make a Button like this
after some minutes the buttons stop working

[slate swan]

View constructor takes a timeout kwarg, which controls how long the view will last before no longer accepting any interactions

[harsh orbit]

but Im not using it

[naive briar]

!d discord.ui.View - the default timeout is 180 seconds 🤷

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.View

class discord.ui.View(*, timeout=180.0)```
Represents a UI view.

This object must be inherited to create a UI within Discord.

New in version 2.0.

[harsh orbit]

how to disable timeout?

[meager rock]

set it to None

[harsh orbit]

  File "C:\Users\Hadi\PycharmProjects\resellers-3\main.py", line 1709, in <module>
    class ticket_button(discord.ui.View(timeout=None)):
                        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "C:\Users\Hadi\PycharmProjects\resellers-3\venv\Lib\site-packages\discord\ui\view.py", line 192, in __init__
    self.__stopped: asyncio.Future[bool] = asyncio.get_running_loop().create_future()
                                           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
RuntimeError: no running event loop ```

[meager rock]

you do that while initialising it, not there

[naive briar]

There's something similar to that 🫠

class AClass(Something, arg=value): ...

[harsh orbit]

class ticket_button(discord.ui.View, timeout=None):

you mean like this?

[naive briar]

No, I just realized that discord.py doesn't implement that

[harsh orbit]

So, how do I disable timeout?

[naive briar]

Just set it in super().__init__() of the subclass 🤷

[late reef]

strange request: anyone happen to know where I can find a full list of the Discord emojis in their string-form? IE: [":whale", ":airplane"...]

[slate swan]

It's on Google somewhere

And considering discord is using twemoji, you can get that list easily

And there's also https://unicode.org/Public/emoji/ in case you can't find twemoji data, which is easy to get

[slate swan]

is status only retreivable through a member object?

[golden portal]

Yes

[idle lantern]

I see thanks

[cold oyster]

tysm broo

@lunar vine @naive briar @slate swan

Yesterdays issue which I don't think yall could figure out which was bot is running every command twice, I did not have 2 consoles running but still it had that behavior. I simply just reset the bot token and updated it in the codeand it worked. Sorry for the pings just wanted to give out the solution

!d status

[nova vessel]

How would I go about sending webhooks to my Discord bot?

[cold oyster]

So how do I set a presence of a bot and also how do I make it change over time like after 1 minute it says watching over mxnkey scrims and after that it says listening to commands

[cold oyster]

?

[nova vessel]

await bot.change_presence(activity=discord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.watching, name="mxnkey scrims!"))

Where activity is, change that to either listening, streaming or gaming (not to sure about that one) and then name is what you want it to say after, so for example, this would say: "Watching mxnkey scrims!

To change, I would just create a while True loop, make it sleep using time and then change it as you see fit.

@cold oyster

[cold oyster]

Hi

[naive briar]

I don't understand the question. Are you asking about sending webhooks?

[cold oyster]

I know how to set presence but not change it over time

[naive briar]

Call the function again and again with while-loops or discord.py's task loops

[nova vessel]

Yes.

[naive briar]

!d discord.Webhook.from_url - you can use this function to create a webhook object, then use the send method of the object

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Webhook.from\_url

classmethod from_url(url, *, session=..., client=..., bot_token=None)```
Creates a partial [`Webhook`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Webhook) from a webhook URL.

Changed in version 2.0: This function will now raise [`ValueError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#ValueError) instead of `InvalidArgument`.

[nova vessel]

So from this webhook it creates, I can send payloads to it and process it?

[naive briar]

You can send a webhook message to Discord, yes

[marble rampart]

is there anyway for me to get live data about what user is typing in a SlashOption and then change the choises ?

[nova vessel]

Appreciate it, thank you!

[marble rampart]

kind of like a search engine

[naive briar]

That is called autocomplete

!d discord.app_commands.autocomplete - you can use this decorator to create one (assuming that you're using discord.py)

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.autocomplete

@discord.app_commands.autocomplete(**parameters)```
Associates the given parameters with the given autocomplete callback.

Autocomplete is only supported on types that have [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str), [`int`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#int), or [`float`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#float) values.

[`Checks`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.check) are supported, however they must be attached to the autocomplete callback in order to work. Checks attached to the command are ignored when invoking the autocomplete callback.

For more information, see the [`Command.autocomplete()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.Command.autocomplete) documentation.

Warning

The choices returned from this coroutine are suggestions. The user may ignore them and input their own value...

[marble rampart]

ok but can i get the live data that the user is typing

because lets say the user searchs for other users in a website and i cant add all the users to that

[naive briar]

discord.py will call your autocomplete function once the user changed their input

[marble rampart]

ok ty

love u ❤️

[naive briar]

🐈

[marble rampart]

🐕

[cold oyster]

[twilit grotto]

or he could use a task which will update it ever x seconds or minutes or hours depending on how long he wants it to be'

[naive briar]

If you're talking about asyncio.Task, that involves the while-loops option

If you're talking about discord.ext.tasks.task, I already mentioned that 🫠

[twilit grotto]

oh sorry i didn't see that 😭

[naive briar]

Don't worry about it

[slate swan]

tasks.loop 🤫

[naive briar]

🤭

[cold oyster]

In a modal class, in the on_submit thing how do I send a message to a custom channel?

@naive briar @slate swan help :)

[slate swan]

1. get/fetch channel
2. send message to it

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_channel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.get\_channel

get_channel(id, /)```
Returns a channel or thread with the given ID.

Changed in version 2.0: `id` parameter is now positional-only.

[cold oyster]

what does this mean

  File "c:\Users\HP\OneDrive\Desktop\pass-2\Mxnkek-scrims-bot\main.py", line 7, in <module>
    class StaffApplicationModal(ui.modal, title="Mxnkey Scrims Staff Application"):

class StaffApplicationModal(ui.modal, title="Mxnkey Scrims Staff Application"):
    name = ui.TextInput(label="What is your real name", placeholder="My name is First Name Last Name", )```

This is the line which is getting the error

@slate swan

[slate swan]

Help!

I never faced the following error before

[turbid condor]

Can't see any error

[slate swan]

means that you need to provide custom_id for it

i did this

[turbid condor]

But that something doesn't exist

[slate swan]

leme send the file tree also

[slate swan]

its separated by dots

code.cogs

what

so i dont include the /

i write code.cogs in load_extensions

yes.

doesnt work

[turbid condor]

But u will need to loop through each file

[slate swan]

show the error :D

show file tree

yeah wait

[turbid condor]

Try using \ for the path

[twilit grotto]

you have to load each cog individually

[slate swan]

you dont include code since you are already in that folder

so it will only be cogs

cogs.basic actually

das the problem, i couldn't do that it would just say that cogs doesnt exist

[slate swan]

try this

[turbid condor]

I don't think that will work

[slate swan]

i want to load all the cogs in a directory therefore i used bot.load_extensions()

you cant just imagine methods

wtf

something like this does not exist

you need to loop over each file in that directory

are you sure about that

and load it

im using disnake

then i dont know maybe in disnake there is such method

[turbid condor]

!pip disnake

[unkempt canyon]

disnake v2.9.0

A Python wrapper for the Discord API

[slate swan]

it exist, i did it many times before

only now its not working

well then show error you get now

[slate swan]

[turbid condor]

Yeah load_extensions is there and it accepts a path

[slate swan]

for some reason its in S-Bot directory i think

[slate swan]

yup

[turbid condor]

The path to code cogs folder should be py D:\\Shrey\\Projects\\S-Bot\\code\\cogs\\

[slate swan]

yeah leme try that

[naive briar]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.load_extensions

[unkempt canyon]

NEGATORY.

No documentation found for the requested symbol.

[naive briar]

Right

[twilit grotto]

its disnake

[naive briar]

I know, I just read the conversation before sending that

[slate swan]

Let me send the actual code in that cog.

basic.py file maybe something is wrong with it

import disnake
from disnake.ext import commands


class BasicCmds(commands.Cog):

    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot: commands.InteractionBot = bot


    @ commands.slash_command(name="test", description="Checks if the bot is functioning properly.")
    async def test(self, inter: disnake.AppCmdInter):
        await inter.send("I am working properly! :D")


def setup(bot):
    bot.add_cog(BasicCmds(bot))

Did I set it up correctly

[naive briar]

Filenames doesn't matter

[slate swan]

no its good

hmm

spec = importlib.util.find_spec(name)
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "<frozen importlib.util>", line 94, in find_spec
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'code.cogs'; 'code' is not a package

this is smth i am getting in error and i dont understand it

add __init__.py file inside code folder

what do i add in it

nothing

nope, doesnt work

;-;

first time in my life i used git

and now it doesnt work

you know it has nothnig to do with git?

[naive briar]

When did git came into this?

I wonder

[slate swan]

idk

this error is so weird

@slate swan this error doesn't occur if i open the code folder

and then run the file there by removing the extra code/

@turbid condor

[turbid condor]

Which error?

[slate swan]

any error

it just runs

[turbid condor]

So the issue?

[slate swan]

yes

[turbid condor]

I still don't get what you are trying to say

[slate swan]

bruh

so as you can see

currently i am in S-Bot directory

[slate swan]

.

so i use code/cogs

[turbid condor]

Hmm

[slate swan]

to access the folder

but if i switch the folder to code

and then edit the folder names from code/cogs to just cogs

the file runs

[turbid condor]

Tbh as far as i know black slash is used to specify a path instead of a forward slash

[slate swan]

i tried it :(

[turbid condor]

That is because your interpreter is set to the code folder by default where as previously it used to be S-bot

[slate swan]

hmm

and the function only supports 1 single folder name

no slahes or anything

[turbid condor]

Welp in the docs they told it was a path

[slate swan]

HOLY SHITIT

[turbid condor]

Instead of folder name

[slate swan]

bro you scared the hell out of me

i was on full volume with headphones

and i clicked your link 😭

onlyfans thing

[turbid condor]

XD

[slate swan]

im still shaking

[slate swan]

ima try that 😂

thank @turbid condor

[harsh orbit]

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
  print("ss")

why the bot is not making any thing when I send a message?

it is have permissions

[naive briar]

What intents do it have?

[harsh orbit]

all

[naive briar]

What permissions do it have?

I don‘t know if the code that works at the timeout after the timeout even though the button worked before the timeout was pressed. How can I fix this issue?

[shrewd apex]

can u elaborate a bit

[bitter knoll]

How can I host my bot in replit

[cold oyster]

How do I get the server name of a person who executed the cmd

[formal basin]

guild.name

[meager rock]

#965291480992321536 message it's suggested to not use replit

[turbid condor]

!d discord.User.display_name

[unkempt canyon]

discord.User.display\_name

property display_name```
Returns the user’s display name.

For regular users this is just their global name or their username, but if they have a guild specific nickname then that is returned instead.

[cold oyster]

no need anymore

[turbid condor]

This returns the name of the server not server name of the person

[bitter knoll]

Thanks for showing this
I also used thought that replit was nice and free server but this thing opened my eyes 👀

Btw can u suggest any free server

[meager rock]

you can use oracle's free plan if you have a credit/debit card

[bitter knoll]

I don’t have sadly 🥲

[wicked atlas]

Nothing is free

Even if it says it’s free, the money to run it has to come from somewhere

[bitter knoll]

Hmm 🤔 ya

Like selling our data or something

[wicked atlas]

Yeah oracle did that iirc

[bitter knoll]

Dam ☠️ I used trusted oracal but now 📉

[wicked atlas]

Most website do that nowadays

Google definitely does

[bitter knoll]

Lol ya

Apple too 🤔?

[wicked atlas]

Honestly the “free-est” hosting you could get is just grabbing old computer or buying a cheap one off ebay and hosting it yourself

[final iron]

It’s subsidised by their paid options

[wicked atlas]

You don’t get all the perks of a data enter but long-term it’s cheaper if its just a small or personal application

[bitter knoll]

Hm ya , I have an old pc at home I just have to buy a Wi-Fi adapter

Windows is too heavy ☠️

[wicked atlas]

Yeah windows is not for servers, unless windows server edition is somehow better

Never tried it but because windows is in the name i don’t want to

[bitter knoll]

Ya , that’s why I use Xfce in my laptop

Mint

[late reef]

I can't seem to get the embed hyperlink here to work. Always seems to just print the entire thing as a single string. Am I doing something wrong?
embed.add_field("[link](https...)")

[wicked atlas]

iirc markdown formatting does not work in embed fields

[late reef]

It doesn't? I thought that was the only place they DID work

Ooh, does it only work in the embed description?

[wicked atlas]

I believe it only works in the description

[late reef]

Man that's lame

[wicked atlas]

Maybe the title? Not sure on that one

It makes it easier to make embeds sometimes, because you can just put everything in one string

Actually, it could also be because you’re putting the link as the field name?

[bitter knoll]

What’s embed ?

[wicked atlas]

It might work in the body

[bitter knoll]

Oh

I wish telegram also adapt this (I am Actually a telegram bot dev)

[final iron]

Damn that’s crazy bro

Good for you

[bitter knoll]

Who ?

[slate swan]

the name and value in add_field are keyword-only I believe, so you're calling the method incorrectly

[late reef]

I now put it into a string for the description. Am I doing this right? It's still not working

[slate swan]

you need to actually use that varriable

Probably want f strings

[wicked atlas]

You’re missing the {} for your string formatting

[slate swan]

!fstring

[unkempt canyon]

Format-strings

Creating a Python string with your variables using the + operator can be difficult to write and read. F-strings (format-strings) make it easy to insert values into a string. If you put an f in front of the first quote, you can then put Python expressions between curly braces in the string.

>>> snake = "pythons"
>>> number = 21
>>> f"There are {number * 2} {snake} on the plane."
"There are 42 pythons on the plane."

Note that even when you include an expression that isn't a string, like number * 2, Python will convert it to a string for you.

You might want to change this name

their pronouns gives it away, but what if someone was actually named hitler

[bitter knoll]

Ok 🫡

[stoic tusk]

Hey if someone is kind enough to dm to fix a python problem regarding my discord bot?

[slate swan]

there's a channel made for that, use it and send it here.

[stoic tusk]

Yeah but I don't really like sending that code here, it's not a normal discord bot and was created for different purposes

[slate swan]

you'll get help here. so ask

if you don't want to then you won't get help

asking people to dm you out of nowhere is weird

    else:
        await ctx.send("You don't have permission to use this command.")

bot.run(TOKEN)

there's a second JSON file as well

it worked for some time but now it doesn't

[slate swan]

Message content intent is message_content, not messages

[stoic tusk]

it won't work

[slate swan]

Yeah, reading is useful 👍

[stoic tusk]

ah nvm accidentally put "messages" instead of "message"

@slate swan Thanks for the help, the bot got fixed.

[oblique adder]

Is it possible for a bot to receive image as an input from either a slash command or form ? But not from on message or normal command

[final iron]

Don’t believe so unless they’re passing a link to the image

[gentle epoch]

^Deff gonna need to have them pass a link for the image

Which they can just send the image in chat, then copy the discord link for that image

[final iron]

It would be cool for discord to add that though

[slow fog]

I once did something relatable but it was a .zip file as an input

and the bot received it

it was years ago I don't even remember how

something was related to ctx.message.attachments

my old code shows this await ctx.message.attachments[0].save(file_name)

[young shuttle]

are discord bots difficult to code

[slate swan]

Modal no, slash command option yes

[final iron]

Bots themselves are extremely easy to code

[final iron]

Wouldn’t be possible with slash commands

[final iron]

How would it be an option

[slow fog]

yeah slash commands sucks

I literally use discord.py 1.7.3

[final iron]

Why…

[slow fog]

and haven't touched a slash command

[slow fog]

works just fine as I don't need other stuff

[slate swan]

You can just type hint to discord.Attachment

[final iron]

And discord takes that as an input?

[slow fog]

isn't it different from attachments

[slate swan]

?

[slow fog]

because the user can upload multiple attachments

[final iron]

You know 1.7.3 is extremely outdated right

[slate swan]

We're talking about slash command options, not message attachments

[final iron]

1.7.3 also uses old APIs

[slow fog]

yeah I don't care because it works with me for my personal bots and local stuff

[final iron]

2nd worst take I’ve seen in this channel tbh

[slate swan]

d.py will make it so that discord understands it, and so that you can access the attachment

[slow fog]

you literally said "Attachment"

[slate swan]

Yes. Slash command option where you upload an attachment

Something that's been existing for months if not years

[slow fog]

yeah idk how do you see it that way but surely you're seeing it in a wrong way

[slate swan]

Will be like that

[final iron]

Oh I wasn't aware discord took that as an input

Nice

[slate swan]

hi,
i'm having the

Ignoring exception in command watchlist:

does anyone know any fix to it?

[final iron]

You have to respond to an interaction within 3 seconds

[slate swan]

i ran a command and does nothing, saying the interaction didn't respond

[final iron]

You have to respond to an interaction within 3 seconds

[slate swan]

?

theres no time.sleep or anything

[final iron]

Okay?

time.sleep isn't the only thing that'll stall your code for more than 3 seconds

[slate swan]

im sending 2 requests and its inside a command idk how to implement it outside

[final iron]

what

[slate swan]

do i really have to send my code

[final iron]

or rewrite your sentences to be coherent

[slate swan]

wtf

[final iron]

?

[slate swan]

how do i phrase this

do i just send code and you'll know what i mean

[final iron]

If you want

[slate swan]

where do i send

hastebin or something?

[final iron]

!paste

[unkempt canyon]

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 Paste! button in the bottom left, or by pressing CTRL + S. After doing that, you will be navigated to the new paste's page. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

[slate swan]

ok

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/UCZA
here

idk how to optimize it myself, i made it and it worked

but not sometimes

any idea

[final iron]

What fork are you using?

Also, requests is blocking

[slate swan]

not using a fork

[slate swan]

how can i fix that

[final iron]

commands.slash_command() doesn't exist in discord.py

Neither does ApplicationContext

And by extension ApplicationContext.respond() doesn't either

So which fork are you using?

[slate swan]

but applicationcontext works

[final iron]

Yes, because you're using a fork

[slate swan]

py-cord i think

[final iron]

not using a fork
py-cord i think

[final iron]

Use aiohttp

[slate swan]

i was unsure

[final iron]

You can also defer the interaction but pycords slash commands implementation fucking sucks so I wouldn't know how

[slate swan]

okay

[final iron]

Pycord really sucks though

Why are you using it?

[slate swan]

what do u recommend

[slate swan]

cuz the base i use uses it

[final iron]

discord.py

[slate swan]

not even nextcord or anything?

idk how to make slash commands in dpy thgo

[final iron]

Why would you use a fork

[slate swan]

idk, faster maybe

[final iron]

No?

[slate swan]

okay

oh well switching to aiohttp fixed my issue

[lunar vine]

meaning that it was running twice somehow in some form or fashion'

whatever the 2nd place it was running from might still b runnin

[late reef]

Would anyone here be willing to give my first bot a test run, and tell me if there are any problems or errors? Or any change suggestions?

[final iron]

Why can't you?

[oblique adder]

What python discord api wrapper should I use now ? Pycord ,discord.py , nextcord ,etc , anything new and better ? I have been away for quite a while

[final iron]

Discord.py

[late reef]

No harm in some community feedback

[burnt coral]

why do we need to run it thought? want feedback on the code then send the repo to the src code? want us to test your features, then invite the person in interest to your testing server?

[split nest]

How can i fix the intents error
import discord

client = discord.Client()

@client.event
async def on_ready():
print("loggen on as {0.user}".format(client))

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
if message.author == client.user:
return

if message.content.startswith("/test"):
await message.channel.send("test")

[late reef]

Idk man, this is my first time trying this kind of thing

[fading marlin]

Give explicit intents to the client

!intents

[unkempt canyon]

Using intents in discord.py

Intents are a feature of Discord that tells the gateway exactly which events to send your bot. Various features of discord.py rely on having particular intents enabled, further detailed in its documentation. Since discord.py v2.0.0, it has become mandatory for developers to explicitly define the values of these intents in their code.

There are standard and privileged intents. To use privileged intents like Presences, Server Members, and Message Content, you have to first enable them in the Discord Developer Portal. In there, go to the Bot page of your application, scroll down to the Privileged Gateway Intents section, and enable the privileged intents that you need. Standard intents can be used without any changes in the developer portal.

Afterwards in your code, you need to set the intents you want to connect with in the bot's constructor using the intents keyword argument, like this:

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

# Enable all standard intents and message content
# (prefix commands generally require message content)
intents = Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=intents)

For more info about using intents, see discord.py's related guide, and for general information about them, see the Discord developer documentation on intents.

[split nest]

thx

but why doesnt my bot respond
import discord
from discord.flags import Intents

client = discord.Client(intents=discord.Intents.default())

@client.event
async def on_ready():
print("logged on as {0.user}".format(client))

@client.event
async def on_message(message):

if message.content.startswith("/test"):
print("test1")
await message.channel.send("test")

[fading marlin]

You need message content intent for message commands

[split nest]

how do i do that

[fading marlin]

.

Look at the codeblock there

[split nest]

ok thx

[turbid condor]

You should commands.Bot instead of discord.Client which is better as it contains more functionality

Also that test is not a command

It's an on_message event

[naive briar]

They can make a command handler out of it

[vale wing]

Disnake definitely

Dpy bad me no like

!e print(len("await interaction.response.send_message()") / len("await inter.send()"))

[unkempt canyon]

@vale wing :white_check_mark: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 0.

2.2777777777777777

[vale wing]

And yeah dpy code is 230% longer!1!1!1

[glad cradle]

well that's not the main issue about d.py

[vale wing]

It's one of countless

I wrote an article on that once

This for disnake advantages

[loud junco]

hi people long time no see
railway isnt free anymore
do you guys know where to host now (other than replit)

[golden portal]

gcp

prolly selfhost better #965291480992321536

[quick brook]

Henzter

[loud junco]

foc?

[quick brook]

what is foc

[quick brook]

Please make sure you read this fully

When you look for hosting your bot, you might be tempted to use free services or providers that claim to support hosting discord bots (eg PebbleHost and others). Do not use them. Why? Let me explain.

Free hosts and tiers always have drawbacks - The point of a free tier or a host is to get the user to use their product, and upgrade for all of the good features. Hosts such as replit use shared cpus, oftentimes will run into ratelimits, and have "gotchas" that make you tempted to upgrade to their paid tiers. They also literally remove all control out of how you run your bot. Think about it: Hosts need to make money somehow in order to either break even or gain profit. So naturally they will tempt you into upgrading in order to do that. This is basic economics and quite literally how businesses run.

If you are still looking for a host after reading this, then you have some options. And here are them:

1. Pay up - Pay up and use a VPS provider. My pick is Heznter, but see ?tag vps for the full list (if you are on the Python discord server, then see !hosting for your options). More than likely if you are not an eligible HS or college student, this is your option.

2. Self Host - If you are able to self host your own server, then go for it. This is really the only "free" way if you already pay for your electricity bill and have the equipment to do so. Raspberry Pis oftentimes are great for this.

3. GitHub Student Developer Pack - IF you are a enrolled student in an HS or college (you will need to either provide an valid student ID or proof of education of your HS or college), then you may apply for this deal. More info about this can be found here. The deal offers $200 free credits on DigitalOcean for 1 year, so if you are a student and need to host your bot, go for it.

[vale wing]

I wonder if gh student allows music college students

[quick brook]

what's your university is the first question. you'll have to look it up

[loud junco]

im just a secondary school student (which instrument are u majoring btw)

[vale wing]

Uh it's not a university it's just music college

What's worse it's russian

[quick brook]

then probably not

[vale wing]

I doubt they will even recognize the handwriting on my ID 💀

[loud junco]

💀

[burnt coral]

you are eligible for gh student pack if you're over 13 and can prove you're a student, no matter where afaik, i got mine by uploading a picture of my public transport card provided by my school

[loud junco]

💀 ok

lemme try

[burnt coral]

If you do not have a dated student ID to upload, you may upload a current transcript, letter on school letterhead, or any documentation that demonstrates your current enrollment.

[vale wing]

Lol imma try too

[burnt coral]

it's also worthwhile to note that the student pack is as much of a "gotcha" Noelle tried pointing free hosting tiers to be. you get free hosts from the pack, you grow somewhat familiar with the stack and you're tempted to stay after your student pack expires.

just buy a VPS.

[quick brook]

with DigitalOcean, they are technically a VPS provider so you can just continue to buy from them if you wanted to

[burnt coral]

yeah there are 3-4 nice deals in the bundle, iirc there is one for AWS aswell if im not mistaken

[glad cradle]

you're still missing some things

smh 😔

[vale wing]

Ok snipee tell us more ☺️

[glad cradle]

you can send raw components

this is a big deal if someone wants something less ram eating than persistent views

and for other things like commands with which you can interact anytime even if they're old responses

[golden portal]

not a lot of people wants a low level interface such as raw components though, it's bad UX

auto syncing is also kinda effy, you get ratelimited unnecessarily if you reboot a lot

[glad cradle]

What does UX have to do here?

[loud junco]

im self hosting now
can i save my token in a file
secret.env

TOKEN = 'XXXXXX'

main.py

from secret import TOKEN
await bot.start(TOKEN)

[glad cradle]

you talk about ux in gui(s)

[golden portal]

no

[vale wing]

Idk their internals but it would be logical to only sync commands that were changed

[glad cradle]

disnake doesn't update commands if they weren't changed, it's the same exact logic that you would implement in d.py

[vale wing]

Yeah I guessed correctly

[glad cradle]

ig before updating you fetch the commands in d.py

[vale wing]

Yes except it's done in a slightly different way

!pypi python-dotenv

[unkempt canyon]

python-dotenv v1.0.0

Read key-value pairs from a .env file and set them as environment variables

[golden portal]

and you see why that's a silly idea?

how would it 'know' when to sync

without automatically fetching first

[vale wing]

Fetching isn't that problematic

[glad cradle]

btw there's an official extension that adds some abstraction for this so it's not that low level if you use that

[golden portal]

unnecessary API calls tho no? you even rarely change slash commands

[vale wing]

It's a single call

[glad cradle]

i mean, isn't this what you do in d.py? or are y'all creating a command just to update the commands (that's inefficient)

[golden portal]

i don't? i only sync when i added/change any slash command signatures, after that im good

and i do that after like idk, once a few weeks if im actively developing

[vale wing]

Yeah same but manual and without that one api call

Does discord have individual ratelimits for endpoints somewhere

[glad cradle]

i mean, how do you know if you have added/removed a command from code if you don't fetch, are you sincying manually? otherwise what you're saying doesn't make sense

[vale wing]

Preferred way of syncing in dpy is manual yeah

[golden portal]

yea im syncing manually

[vale wing]

Disnake vs dpy drama ☺️

Let's make dramacord lib that will be epic

[glad cradle]

ig the endpoints to get app commands are under the general ratelimits

[vale wing]

Then that single request at startup doesn't matter at all

[glad cradle]

which is 50 requests per second

[glad cradle]

i mean, before implementing Automatic synchronization they will have taken it into account

[glad cradle]

as always

[loud junco]

;-;

bro used the idgaf card on me

[golden portal]

well i was just stating opinion tbh, people make it like a bad thing, it's barely there

[vale wing]

Remote computer didn't like you

No rizz

[loud junco]

;-;

so how do i make it like me

[vale wing]

What were you trying to connect to

[loud junco]

im just trying to run main.py

[vale wing]

So discord?

[vale wing]

Can you send full tb

[loud junco]

tb?

[vale wing]

Traceback

[vale wing]

That's kinda sus but I remember it happens cause of something

[glad cradle]

do you have a database?

make sure that the database server is running

[loud junco]

no

[vale wing]

And please show how you connect to database

[vale wing]

You clearly do

[loud junco]

NO I DO NOT

[vale wing]

Asyncpg there both in error and in code

[glad cradle]

there's written asyncpg in the error

[loud junco]

oo ya forgot to tell u

[glad cradle]

lmaoooo

[loud junco]

i used to host this bot in railway.app but its premium now

[vale wing]

🧐

So where the database is

And what's connection config

[loud junco]

i dont have it now

idk how to setup one ;-;

[vale wing]

You gotta get it then

[loud junco]

do u have any source for that?

[glad cradle]

i suggest to install postgresql https://www.postgresql.org/

[vale wing]

Then create a database and update your connection config

Or you could dockerize everything ☺️

[loud junco]

the documentation =.=

[quick brook]

simple means you can't connect to it

[loud junco]

im downloading postgres and idk what is the documentation talking about =.=

[quick brook]

what part do you not understand

[quick brook]

Can you stop with this

I dont need people who are closed minded and shill a fork and claim it's better when they are baseless claims and go "oh this fork is better than the other"

[loud junco]

just look at this 😭

[quick brook]

you dont need to read through those

in fact, your error boils down to networking than anything else

[vale wing]

This piece of doc is unrelated to your issue

[loud junco]

i installed postgres

and idk what to do next lemme read the docs again

[quick brook]

ok you installed postgres, and then you connect to the server. Just use asyncpg and refer to the docs for what to do next

[meager rock]

don't you need to setup users and the core first? i remember doing it in Linux atleast

[quick brook]

yes also that

[loud junco]

ya its not setup up correctly

which chapter should i go 😭

[quick brook]

You aren't building it from source

[glad cradle]

@loud junco https://www.postgresql.org/docs/16/tutorial-start.html

[glad cradle]

this is for postgresql 16

[quick brook]

Download for Postgres here: https://www.postgresql.org/download/

I'm still sticking with pg 15 until asyncpg supports 16

[loud junco]

thanks

then im using 15 then

[quick brook]

Np

[loud junco]

what do i do

[quick brook]

You don't need stack builder. Either just continue if you want stack builder installed or just cancel it

[loud junco]

after i installed it idk where to continue
it mention something about setting environment var

[loud junco]

17.4.2 or 17.5.2 or skip it and straight to creating databases

[glad cradle]

mh is psql added to the PATH? btw this is not the right channel for this

[loud junco]

i have no idea what is that

[glad cradle]

when you installed postgresql the launcher most likely asked you to add psql to PATH, was that Option enabled?

you need that to run psql commands without issues

[loud junco]

i have no idea but i can test the command to see if it works

doesnt work ig 💀

[cold oyster]

Yeah, I cannot really figure out where it was running

[quick gust]

you'll need to add it to PATH then, google how to add postgresql to PATH

[loud junco]

ok

[quick gust]

I'd recommend you don't continue using this channel for this

you didn't need to delete it but alright

[naive briar]

🫠

[slate swan]

[loud junco]

i forgot my password :D

[vale wing]

There's pgAdmin app, you don't even need cli

[loud junco]

wow thanks

[loud junco]

can u help me in #databases later they will scold me again ;-;

[vale wing]

Sure

[harsh orbit]

how to make change prefix command?

not per server prefix

the bot in 1 server but I want to change the prefix with a command

[final iron]

Create a function that takes client and message, and then pass that as your argument to command_prefix

In the function you’ll query your DB for the servers specific prefix

You’ll also want to create a set prefix command, and also implement some logic in your on guild remove event to remove the guild from your DB when the bot leaves the server

[sage otter]

personally i wouldnt query the db everytime you want to check a servers prefix (its not very efficient/timely)

id load all the prefixes from database into memory on startup

[vale wing]

Makes sense only if db is on remote server

If it's on same ping is typically around 3ms so doesn't matter much

Especially taking rest latencies lately into account 💀

[sage otter]

meh its also kinda the principal. it makes more sense to use memory for things like that. thats kinda what its meant for. it also saves you from constantly querying the database

[vale wing]

Sure

It's either ram or delay

[sage otter]

since the prefix function he speaks of will query the database every time a message is sent

[vale wing]

Now that you mentioned it imma write that down to the list of slash commands advantages

Latencies are defo smoking something when we're not looking

[sage otter]

generally though it will always be more efficient to query volatile memory like ram over disc (where your db will be) especially if you're going to making excessive amounts of queries which is what he would be doing with getting a servers custom prefix

pretty new to bot developement, im trying to make a task that does what you can p much see above but im struggling with the server member counter part. any help?

[slate swan]

your guild_id is an int

you need actual Guild object to get amount of members

thats like you would do 123.member_count

!e x = 123; x.member_count

[unkempt canyon]

how can i get that?

[slate swan]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.get\_guild

[slate swan]

can someone help me with a prject

[chrome tartan]

is anyone here familiar with making discord music bots?

[slate swan]

music bots are against TOS

[chrome tartan]

huh? since when? i still havea bunch of servers which have their own music bots

[slate swan]

oh well they always have been, or atleast for a while now

[chrome tartan]

man

[slate swan]

its not like music bots are against TOS its just you cant take music from YouTube, Spotify or simmilar

[naive briar]

If that's it, Discord won't allow bots to speak in voice channels in the first place

[slate swan]

oh

!ytdl for more info

well i heard there Against TOS so thats my mistake sorry abt that

[chrome tartan]

ohh thats why mine wasnt working. i was using spotify for my database of songs

do u guys know how i can use local files instead?

[slate swan]

No Clue

but does anyone have experience with making Servers, Databases and User Authentiction / Accounts

[chrome tartan]

thats unfortunate, thanks anyways

[slate swan]

No Problem

[final iron]

Depends on where and how you’re getting the music

[slate swan]

yeah

[final iron]

How does pycord sync commands?

Don't they have autosync (ass)?
