discord-bots

[hard jay]

They also will recieve the transcript when the ticket is closed

[fast osprey]

That doesn't address either of the things I said

[hard jay]

https://tenor.com/view/you-have-no-idea-gif-27149353

[fast osprey]

I've seen a thousand of these "ticket bots" and just making threads solves 95% of the problem on its own. That is the transcript, the users still control their own messages, you barely have to write anything. Or you can make your own thing and then you need to deal with privacy headaches. Your call

[nocturne saffron]

hey guys if i want a slash command in my discord bot to have a cooldown how can i do this

[vocal laurel]

!d discord.app_commands.Cooldown

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.Cooldown

class discord.app_commands.Cooldown(rate, per)```
Represents a cooldown for a command.

New in version 2\.0\.

[scarlet wren]

what is the import to make discord bots? import pycord or what

[stark ingot]

It depends on what library you are using.
For py-cord it is import discord.

Keep in mind import names can be different from library names. So discord.py also uses import discord so you can only have one or the other installed

[scarlet wren]

whats the best

[stark ingot]

There is no best. It depends on what you like. You should use whatever you are used to. Or look at the docs and examples for each and decide what you like the most.

[scarlet wren]

i really just want to learn the docs for sending stuff to webhooks, aka data from code

instead of console so it logs

[scarlet wren]

does dhooks work

[nocturne saffron]

Oh I'm using discord.py

[fast osprey]

For just sending things to a webhook, all of the libraries are basically equivalent tbh. Hell, you don't even need a library, you could just post to the endpoint directly if you wanted

[sick birch]

yeah depending on how much complex stuff you want to send i'd just use requests

[young dagger]

aiohttp for asynchronous requests

[dapper cobalt]

Np, sometimes very small un-noticeable things can break our whole code

[copper flume]

Hi, if my bot is autosharded then will it make as more shard as it requires?

[mint pecan]

when i call a group command in discord and print ctx.command.name it only prints the group's name how can i get the name of the subcommand?

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.Command.qualified_name # A quick search on the documentation

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Command.qualified\_name

property qualified_name```
Retrieves the fully qualified command name.

This is the full parent name with the command name as well. For example, in `?one two three` the qualified name would be `one two three`.

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.Command.full_parent_name # Also something useful

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Command.full\_parent\_name

property full_parent_name```
Retrieves the fully qualified parent command name.

This the base command name required to execute it. For example, in `?one two three` the parent name would be `one two`.

[dire timber]

Hi
I'm trying to convert some prefix commands into hybrid commands and I seem to have run into an error

The error:
TypeError: unsupported parameter kind in callback: VAR_POSITIONAL

The code I made changes to:

    @commands.hybrid_command()
    async def buildnotation(self, ctx: commands.Context):
        embed = discord.Embed(title="",description="")
        await ctx.send(embed=embed)
    
    @commands.hybrid_command(aliases=["affix"])
    async def affixguide(self, ctx: commands.Context):
        embed = discord.Embed(title="",description="")
        await ctx.send(embed=embed)

[mint pecan]

it still prints the group name

[wanton current]

Can you send the entire tracekback?

[dire timber]

this is pretty much it

Extension unloaded!
Failed to reload cogs.builds: Extension 'cogs.builds' raised an error: TypeError: unsupported parameter kind in callback: VAR_POSITIONAL
Extension unloaded!
Failed to reload cogs.builds: Extension 'cogs.builds' raised an error: TypeError: unsupported parameter kind in callback: VAR_POSITIONAL

I did ask in the discord.py server and I was told that hybrid commands cannot take in unlimited parameters

[wanton current]

Yeah, but are you even doing *, args or *args anywhere

[dire timber]

yes

it's not in that code block but one of my commands which i tried to convert has a *args

[wanton current]

That's the problem then

Discord needs to know how many arguments to display when trying to use your command, so you can't have a dynamic amount of them.

What are you trying to do with that command?

[slate swan]

You know you can manipulate and edit strings to get what you want, right?

[dire timber]

the reason for the variadic arguments is because of the users who I'm building it for (they like having nicknames with multiple words)

whatever the user types as the arguments will be combined into a single string and then checked to see if a name exists for that said nickname string

[hushed galleon]

wouldnt keyword-only be a better option instead of variadic arguments? that'll preserve their entire text, spaces included, and presumably should work with hybrid commands
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/commands.html#keyword-only-arguments

[dire timber]

yea i figured

I'm looking into it now

but for the commands that do not require arguments I've converted those already

thanks

[mint pecan]

you want me to write out the names myself? i wan't to get the invoked_subcommand i have tried ctx.invoked_subcommand but it's always none

[young dagger]

So it's not exactly my bot?

[sick birch]

cant tell. Would recommend waiting till discord resolves their issues then trying after that to see if it’s on your end or theirs

while it was working an hour ago

[young dagger]

Yeah same. It was working for over 24 hours and suddenly just died

[young dagger]

What error messages did you get?

It's working fine again

[sick birch]

so it was a discord issue then

there isn't really much you can do beside ignoring them

how can i make it possible to select more than one channel at a time using slash commands

async def channel(interaction: discord.Interaction, mode: discord.app_commands.Choice[str], channel: discord.TextChannel = None, category: discord.CategoryChannel = None):

[fast osprey]

You cannot

Best option is to modify your flow to present the user with a ChannelSelect, which can accept multiple inputs. But generally slash commands do not support list inputs

[smoky patrol]

do you have a doc for ChannelSelect

[fast osprey]

Depends a bit. Do you know how to send selects/views generally?

[smoky patrol]

i know how to send text views

like the forms

[fast osprey]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/views/dropdown.py is an example of a regular dropdown with manually populated options. You could instead subclass discord.ui.ChannelSelect, then you only need to implement the callback. You could also do this with the @discord.ui.select decorator in a view class, using the above ChannelSelect class as the cls= parameter

Share your code here

i am getting

TypeError: Command.__init__() missing 1 required positional

trying to create a hybrid group

class test(Cog):

    foo = commands.HybridGroup()

    @foo.command()
    async def a(self, ctx: commands.Context) -> None:
        pass

what does that even mean

[stark ingot]

The first thing you need to do is uninstall discord, py-cord, and discord-py-slash-command.
Then reinstall only py-cord or discord.py depending on what you want to use. The send your code here if you are having troubles migrating

[mint pecan]

someone help me about this please

[golden portal]

it means it needs a callback, this is for your prefix command callback, just do ```py
class Test(Cog):
@commands.hybrid_group(fallback='b')
async def foo(self, ctx):
...

@foo.command()
async def a(self, ctx):
    ...

 you can also specify 'fallback' which allows you to set an alternative to call the callback i.e `/foo b`

[mint pecan]

ive seen some people do it without adding a callback and just a pure variable with the group instance, how do i do that?

[golden portal]

then that's not a hybrid, thats just a regular group foo = app_commands.Group()

[fast osprey]

This is one of the multiple cases where hybrids break down because these systems function fundamentally differently

[golden portal]

its true, tho i love hybrid to the core

[copper flume]

is this the plan for a discord bot host?

in hetzner

[fast osprey]

"Discord bot" is entirely too vague

We can't tell what your bot needs

[copper flume]

It is a multipurpose discord bot with 900 servers

[fast osprey]

That still doesn't really help

You should profile your bot, see what resources it uses, and make an informed decision

Or just guess and hope

[copper flume]

i am talking about which option should I choose, intel, amd, ampere or dedicated cpu

2gb ram is enough for me

[fast osprey]

Ram is not the singular only thing to profile

[copper flume]

Using 750.75 MiB physical memory and 778.44 MiB virtual memory, 747.41 MiB of which unique to this process.
Running on PID 13820 (python.exe) with 12 thread(s).

This bot is automatically sharded (Shards 0 of 1) and can see 932 guilds and 443456 users.

good?

3k commands are used daily

[fast osprey]

Not really, what you're specifically asking about is cpu even

We can't look at "3k commands" and in our brains calculate what resources that uses

[zinc gust]

you can get a better vps for this price

[copper flume]

where

[zinc gust]

[surreal cliff]

A big ask!

I run a discord server of over 20,000 members. I've created a discord bot that handles ticketing and a reputation system. I'm having a few error logs and issues with the script; I'm by no means an expert in Python and must admitt that most of my coding has been done via using ChatGPT (Apologies in advance!)

Is there anyone kind enough that has some experience in coding to review and assist? I'd be forever greatful! 🙂

[fast osprey]

Feel free to share your code here and ask about specific bits that aren't working or what you want help with

as general advice, chatgpt will straight up lie to you pretty often. You should never use it for things you aren't already an expert in

[stark ingot]

Very few people here who know what they are doing want to make long term commitment.
Also, as solstice said, depending on what library you use chatGPT will know nothing to little. ChatGPT was trained on 2022 data so it does not know about many new discord features.

what code does discord bots run witgh

python or html or what

[dapper cobalt]

HTML is NOT a programming language. It's a markup language which is used to build base structure of web apps.
Python is a programming language, and yes it's used for building discord bots (while this is not its only purpose, and it's not the only language used for that)

[slate swan]

I was just using it as an example HTML

[slate swan]

tysm

[dapper cobalt]

There are numerous programming languages, which most of them have libraries that wrap discord's API. Commonly used libraries are discord.py (Python), disnake - fork of discord.py (Python), discord.js (NodeJS), and JavaCord (Java)

[slate swan]

I'd make one later because I started learing python yesterday

I'm trying add buttons dynamically, the problem i am facing is that when i click the buttons there's no responce... i am not able to find and locate any errors as well. can someone help me fix this.

[fast osprey]

You should be subclassing Button, not making generic buttons and stapling callbacks onto them

[hushed galleon]

what solstice said, subclassing button is the recommended approach, but besides that, are you using discord.py? if so, do you configure logging in any way and/or run your bot using await bot.start(...) instead of bot.run(...)? d.py logs all errors based on how logging is configured, and normally there's a default config, but sometimes misconfiguring it can hide all your error messages

[livid sorrel]

i figured it out

thanks solstice

[young dagger]

How do you delete a interaction.response?

[fast osprey]

Why? Could just make it ephemeral

[young dagger]

I still want to delete it

[fast osprey]

Why?

[young dagger]

Do you actually know how to delete it?

Because there is a selection that I don't want them be able to change afterwards

[hushed galleon]

if you have an interaction coming from a message component on that message, you might find it nicer to disable those components or remove them via edit_message()

[fast osprey]

Yeah almost in all circumstances there is a more intuitive flow than just deleting messages underneath users

[young dagger]

Thanks. So there is no way to delete it?

[fast osprey]

There is,

[wanton current]

however

[fast osprey]

but again this is really shitty ux for users to have things randomly disappear

[young dagger]

How can you delete it?

If there is a way to delete it, I want to learn how

[fast osprey]

That basically tells us you're ignoring the advice

[hushed galleon]

deleting the message of an interaction can be done with interaction.delete_original_response(), although you have to keep in mind that the message it deletes somewhat confusingly depends on your initial response

[young dagger]

I actually tried this before but am getting:
raise NotFound(response, data) discord.errors.NotFound: 404 Not Found (error code: 10015): Unknown Webhook

[fast osprey]

That has to be done after responding

[young dagger]

Oh so you can't actually delete it without responding?

[wanton current]

What? What is there to delete if you don't respond in the first place?

[fast osprey]

What is "it"?

[young dagger]

There is a message

I want to delete the second message after they picked their role

[fast osprey]

They can dismiss it

why do you feel the need to delete it for them

[young dagger]

I already explained it here

[hushed galleon]

hmm, having the message get edited to say "Successfully selected @role as your primary role!" would look nice

[fast osprey]

You can disable/remove the selector and give them a nice message explaining as such

As a user using any system, if you interacted with something and then it just suddenly disappeared from your vision, that's not a very good UX is it? People would reasonably assume it broke.

||If you really want to, you could respond with a defer() and then use delete_original_response. This is horrid UX for no reason when there is a very clear way to communicate to the user what is happening instead with no cost to you or them, but do what you will||

[young dagger]

Is it not possible to add emojis to the selection?

[hushed galleon]

only via the separate emoji= parameter for SelectOption

[young dagger]

Oh alright

[young dagger]

This is how it looks now

[fast osprey]

Looks great

[elfin aurora]

do anyone uses hata from pypi to make discord bots

[gleaming inlet]

!pip hata

[unkempt canyon]

hata v1.3.64

A powerful asynchronous library for creating Discord bots in Python.

Released on <t:1726429493:D>.

[timber dragon]

We all hata that

[elfin aurora]

did you use the hata module ? a

[timber dragon]

Nope

[naive cloud]

yo my bot ai cog thing word restriction thang, i dont know how to implement that, i tried doing all sorts of stuff but the bot keeps generating the message too long and discord would not accept it

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/OK6Q

[golden portal]

i mean you only restrict that to 500 words, which can go above the 2000 char limit if words are on average 4 character

!d textwrap.wrap perhaps you might want that

[unkempt canyon]

textwrap.wrap

textwrap.wrap(text, width=70, *, initial_indent='', subsequent_indent='', expand_tabs=True, replace_whitespace=True, fix_sentence_endings=False, break_long_words=True, ...)```
Wraps the single paragraph in *text* (a string) so every line is at most *width* characters long. Returns a list of output lines, without final newlines.

Optional keyword arguments correspond to the instance attributes of [`TextWrapper`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/textwrap.html#textwrap.TextWrapper), documented below.

See the [`TextWrapper.wrap()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/textwrap.html#textwrap.TextWrapper.wrap) method for additional details on how [`wrap()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/textwrap.html#textwrap.wrap) behaves.

[livid hare]

someone answer should i learn all string methods from python it's too much and boring or tell me which one is important to learn

i want to learn which worth to learn

[exotic drum]

by string methods do you mean like .isalpha and .count etc

[livid hare]

isalpha

i ssee but hard i think

idk how to use in practice with list

hard moment

and count i don't see and try

[exotic drum]

@livid hare at least imo sitting down and learning them all to heart isnt really worth it.
If I were you and wanted to learn more about them, I would get a list of them online and just skim down them. Most are self explanatory and won't really need specific practice putting in. Focus your time on the ones that dont make sense to you at a glance. Outside of that you can just learn them as and when you need them and you'll naturally end up knowing the ones that are most useful to the sort of things you use python for

[livid hare]

ok

should i gnore then cuz i'm going to learn unity now

and aafter object oriented oop

basics

[exotic drum]

yeah I think you should just focus on things as and when you need them., its really overwhelming trying to know everything all at once lmao. If you want to go towards using unity just learn about the things you need as you go, you'll eventually develop your knowledge in a way that doesnt make you quit or get bored

[livid hare]

ok

[twin crystal]

Hello

Can someone can teach me how to make a working discord bot?

I just need a ticket,self roles,moderation bot

[fast osprey]

If you want to allow users to opt into roles, this is very easily done with the built-in Channels & Roles menu in the server onboarding settings

[twin crystal]

Oh thanks

For moderation just use auto mod?

[fast osprey]

For the other things, you'll need to more explicitly map out the behavior and user flow that you want. In any discord library you pick, there will be examples for "hello world" type bots that you can start from

[fast osprey]

"moderation" is a very very broad term, and it depends on what you specifically want to do. TBH, a lot of bots just reimplement what already exists in the client but in a less secure and less functional way

There are some novel bits of moderation processes that don't exist natively in the client which you may want, but that's up to you

[twin crystal]

I just wanna use bad words filter log and 1-2 more thing

[fast osprey]

Yeah you absolutely want to use automod for that

[twin crystal]

Okay

[fast osprey]

bots can create automod rules, but automod should be the mechanism

[twin crystal]

Okay thanks

[young dagger]

Just made this with Easy PIL

• some basic Photoshop

(yeah I know the numbers are not accurate)

[exotic hazel]

Cool, what did you use PIL for?

[sick birch]

the image generation presumably

[slate swan]

can you make a button dependent on another button?

for example if you click on button1 it makes button2 disabled

[hushed galleon]

sure, assuming you're using discord.py views, you can change the attributes of your components and edit the message with the same view to refresh it

for example, making two buttons that can flip-flop between each other: ```py
class MyView(discord.ui.View):
@discord.ui.button(label="Hello")
async def hello(self, interaction, button):
self.hello.disabled = True
self.world.disabled = False
await interaction.response.edit_message(view=self)

@discord.ui.button(label="World!", disabled=True)
async def world(self, interaction, button):
    self.hello.disabled = False
    self.world.disabled = True
    await interaction.response.edit_message(view=self)```

[slate swan]

thank you so much, im not experienced with python so i didn't know you could reference the buttons like that

[hushed galleon]

discord.py is doing some magic to make the buttons accessible through their method names

[slate swan]

oh okay

either way thanks

[sick birch]

what exactly is it doing?

[hushed galleon]

iirc the decorators store the component arguments on the function objects, then View.__init_subclass__ gathers them all, and View.__init__ creates the components and simply assigns each of them to the same method name

[slate swan]

what if you have a space in the label

[sick birch]

i see, storing the data dynamically on the function object is indeed weird

[hushed galleon]

source code: https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/v2.4.0/discord/ui/view.py#L162-L188

[hushed galleon]

i would assume at least leading/trailing whitespace is stripped, but you can still type multiple words in them if you want

[slate swan]

You sure this works? just tested it and got this

self.UserCommands.disabled = False
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: 'HelpView' object has no attribute 'UserCommands'

[sick birch]

you tested that exact code?

[lost scarab]

Full code please

[naive cloud]

i want it to look pretty 😦

[golden portal]

read textwrap.wrap

[pine granite]

anyone know a website to learn to code discord bots for free

[fast osprey]

There's two very importantly distinct steps here: learning how to program/use python generally, and how to apply a specific library

[pine granite]

well any1 know a free website that can run my python code for my bot and take the .env file asw?

[wanton current]

no

[stiff igloo]

try using pythonanywhere, if that does not float, try disguising it as a web app and hosting it on platforms like render. they do have a 15 minute switch off time. bypass this by using uptimebot and setting it to ping the url every 5 minutes

[pine granite]

I'll try it

[stark ingot]

Really any free host is going to have major downsides.

[boreal kraken]

Hey guys, I'm designing a discord bot and I notice that every newly joined user in a server gets this icon;

The div is class is newMemberBadge_ed263a

The little green heart

Is there any way to detect this with my discord bot?

[stark ingot]

If i recall correctly that is shown for 1 week after a user joins a server for the first time. So you can just look at the join data of the user and calculate a week

[stiff igloo]

yes obviously. but if you absolutely want something for free, you gotta work with those downsides

[fast osprey]

There is the unspoken option of taking that time you would spend wrestling with shitty options and instead allocate that time into acquiring currency (a process known as "work")

[modern valve]

    @qotd.command()
    async def setchannel(self, ctx, channel: discord.abc.GuildChannel):
        ...

why doesnt this run whatsoever

i did try setting it to TextChannel

[fast osprey]

What are you doing (in discord), and what happens? What's the rest of your code? Are there any errors? How do you know if you're trying to run this code at all?

[modern valve]

well, everything runs when "channel" is String, but NOTHING runs when "channel" is discord.TextChannel or discord.abc.GuildChannel

[fast osprey]

what's your full code, do you get any logs at all from the library

[modern valve]

nope

@qotd.command()
    async def setchannel(self, ctx, channel: discord.TextChannel):
        try:
            print("Check Roles")
            if not self.has_required_role(ctx):
                print("not beta")
                await ctx.reply(NoBetaMessage)
                return

            print("Passed role")

            guild_id = str(ctx.guild.id);print("Set guild_id")

            try:

                # Ensure QOTD[guild_id]["questions"] exists before modifying it
                print("initial check")
                if guild_id not in QOTD or "questions" not in QOTD[guild_id]:
                    await ctx.reply("Configuration not found for this server.")
                    return

                print("setting channel")
                # Update the appropriate channel
                QOTD[guild_id]["questionsChannel"] = channel.id

                await ctx.reply(f"Set Questions Channel to {channel.name}")
            except Exception as e:
                await ctx.reply(f"Error: {type(e).__name__} | {e}")
        except Exception as e:
                await ctx.reply(f"Error: {type(e).__name__} | {e}")

NONE of the debug runs and no errors are passed

and when channel is "str" it runs every time

[fast osprey]

full, as in all of it

[modern valve]

uh?

the Cog or

[fast osprey]

all of it

[modern valve]

i dont exactly host it anywhere

why do u need it?

[fast osprey]

or at minimum, how you're creating your bot object and starting it

[modern valve]

oh just the start and initial "bot" creation

[fast osprey]

what log level are you using? Is anything being sent to it?

[modern valve]

log level?

[fast osprey]

That's in your own code 🤨

[modern valve]

i dont know what a log level is

[fast osprey]

Then why is it in your code?

[modern valve]

idk someone told me to get the run statement from discord.py

[fast osprey]

yeah all of this is unnecessary

[modern valve]

and then that should let me press CTRL+C, save my files THEN close

[fast osprey]

you can replace all of it with just bot.run instead and get default logging to your console

you shouldn't ever copy paste code you don't understand

[modern valve]

yea but if i do that, i cant close the bot AND save data like AFK, quotes, etc

with this i can close it then save my files

[fast osprey]

huh

nothing about bot.run precludes you from saving files

you also really shouldn't be using flat files to record data, that's what databases are for

[modern valve]

no like, okay

i use bot.run and i press CTRL+C KeyboardInterrupt to close, and nothing gets saved

[fast osprey]

And nothing about bot.run itself stops that

[modern valve]

yea i dont really know how to use databases, and i do have backups

[modern valve]

???

[wanton current]

why would you only save when keyboard interrupting? what if the bot crashes?

[modern valve]

good point

[modern valve]

i probably fucked up my code when starting the project 👍
(this bot is basically the only reason i even know how to code in Python)

[jaunty cape]

Nah it’s just because you’re using a json file to do it

[smoky quiver]

I'm curious to what a log level is I believe I understand slightly but I could definitely research it

[solar pollen]

if my bot get used in 1000 different servers do I get ratelimited?

[fast osprey]

Depends what your bot does

[slate swan]

Can u tell me what is loop

Actually im a new programer

[exotic hazel]

For questions like that it's better to go to #python-discussion
To learn the basics of Python I recommend the book "Automate the Boring Stuff with Python", it's good and free online

[slate swan]

Sure brother 💓

[fast osprey]

Yup take it at a reasonable pace and learn the building blocks

[stark ingot]

Like solstice said it depends.
In general whatever library you are using should handle minor ratelimit violations automatically.
The global ratelimit is 50 requests per second which is actually quite high even for a large bot. Note that interaction responses such as slash command and button responses do not count for this 50/sec limit.
So as long as your bot is doing normal things, and not sending a message to all servers at once or editing a bunch of users roles in a burst action you should be fine

[pine granite]

anyone know why this is happening

ive already pip installed it

[cinder tulip]

anyone able to help with user install command?

[golden portal]

just ask the question

[cinder tulip]

Idk what to say bro, I just enabled it on the portal and followed some guy that was having my struggle on GitHub.
I added this on the code:

@app_commands.command()
@app_commands.allowed_installs(guilds=False, users=True)
@app_commands.allowed_contexts(guilds=True, dms=True, private_channels=True)
async def useable_only_users(interaction: discord.Interaction):
    await interaction.response.send_message("I am only installed to users, but can be used anywhere.")

and just tried with a command:

@client.tree.command(name="ms", description="Check the bot's latency.")
@app_commands.user_install()
async def latency(interaction: discord.Interaction):
    embed = discord.Embed(title="Pepsi-Latency:", description=f"{round(client.latency * 1000)}ms", colour=discord.Color.blue())
    await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed)

and idk it just doesnt work. I haven't really coded lately so I'm struggling right now

I am really lost on what i need to do

If I go on my dms and try writing the "/" it just wont pop the bot's commands up

[golden portal]

did you sync

[cinder tulip]

on the on_ready?

[golden portal]

not necessarily, you can do it in bot.setup_hook

[cinder tulip]

ngl i dont even know whats that

I synced on the on_ready my tree commands

[golden portal]

i see

[cinder tulip]

try:
synced = await client.tree.sync()
print(f"Synced {len(synced)} command(s).")
except Exception as e:
print(e)

[golden portal]

did it print

[cinder tulip]

i mean

Synced 12 command(s).

theres this from the thingy i sent

[golden portal]

try reloading your discord client to see if it appears

[cinder tulip]

but it doenst say anything about user installed commands since i didnt do anything

[golden portal]

it doesnt really say it, its a slash command anyways, as long as you add your bot to have user install + reloaded the client + sync it should appear

[cinder tulip]

hm

I just restarted my client and it still doesnt work

[golden portal]

whats your user installs scope in the discord api portal

[cinder tulip]

just applications.commands

[golden portal]

and you did use the install link right

[cinder tulip]

Yeah I did

obv its a discord provided link, but i dont think that means much

[pine granite]

anyone?

[golden portal]

it does since it allows you to install it

[golden portal]

not really related to discord api, try asking in #1035199133436354600

[pine granite]

ok

[cinder tulip]

hmmm

like when i click on try and authorize the app it opens that if i click on open app

but that's on the server and on the bot's dms. doe it just aint working in dms

theres nothing

[golden portal]

wait is useable_only_users not in a cog?

did you even add it to the tree

[cinder tulip]

nope i aint even make a cog for that

[golden portal]

then it wont be added, use @bot.tree.command() instead of @app_commands.command()

[cinder tulip]

then in this case:

@client.tree.command(name="ms", description="Check the bot's latency.")
@app_commands.user_install()
async def latency(interaction: discord.Interaction):

    embed = discord.Embed(title="Pepsi-Latency:", description=f"{round(client.latency * 1000)}ms", colour=discord.Color.blue())

    await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed)

what do i do

do i just remove @app_commands.user_install()

[golden portal]

your latency should have the allowed_contexts private_channels

user_install is correct

[cinder tulip]

so wait do i just need to allow private channels on every client tree command?

[golden portal]

only for user installs

[cinder tulip]

hmmm

would the code be sum like this 😭 ? :

@client.tree.command(name="ms", description="Check the bot's latency.")
@app_commands.user_install()
@app_commands.allowed_contexts(private_channels=True)
async def latency(interaction: discord.Interaction):

    embed = discord.Embed(title="Pepsi-Latency:", description=f"{round(client.latency * 1000)}ms", colour=discord.Color.blue())

    await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed)

[golden portal]

yea

now just sync and restart the discord client

[cinder tulip]

bro no homo i love you

you deserve a villa and a few mil dollars

[golden portal]

okie

[cinder tulip]

wait @golden portal the commands i put the private channels true on dont work in servers doe??

do i just guild=true?

[golden portal]

you need to allow guild in the allowed_context as well yes

I want to access the bot client to get the logs channel through the bot client, but i wont be able to do it because its in the ui.View class, can someone assist me with this please

[sick birch]

the most common way to do this is to pass in your bot as an argument to View

making your bot instance an importable singleton is also common

How do I get rid of the flashing bug in VS Code, bro?

[wanton current]

?

[timber dragon]

!

[smoky patrol]

how can i send a dm to the user as soon he authorized

[fast osprey]

Is this an oauth flow?

[stark ingot]

If you are authorizing a user app discord has not made a event for knowing when a user add the bot to their account yet™️

[wanton current]

Can't you add a redirect url and know that way

[latent marsh]

When I try and invite my bot to my server, it says 'instalation type not supported for this application' how can I get past this?

[hushed galleon]

did you enable "Guild Install" in the installation tab on your bot's developer portal?

[latent marsh]

oh i put it as user install

[hushed galleon]

that one's for authorizing a user to use some/all of your commands anywhere

[latent marsh]

Ah i see.Works like a charm now! thank you so much for your help 🙏🏻

[mint pecan]

does autocomplete work for prefix commands?

[vocal laurel]

Nope

[thin raft]

what else should return?

This corresponds to the following events...

[thin raft]

show code

and in dev portal?

[slate swan]

You don't need the intent to get info about the message's author

And the bot won't even start if it's enabled in code and not in the portal

!d discord.User.banner

[unkempt canyon]

discord.User.banner

Unfortunately yep

[fast osprey]

Or cache it to your liking. Discord doesn't send it on the standard user object

Yeah you can cache and add some command flag to force fetching it again

Technically yes, pretty sure it's internal code

[mint pecan]

how can i check if an user is banned?

[slate swan]

!d discord.Guild.bans

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.bans

async for ... in bans(*, limit=1000, before=..., after=...)```
Retrieves an [asynchronous iterator](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-asynchronous-iterator) of the users that are banned from the guild as a [`BanEntry`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.BanEntry).

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

Changed in version 2\.0: Due to a breaking change in Discord’s API, this now returns a paginated iterator instead of a list.

Examples

Usage...

[copper flume]

@commands.Cog.listener('on_message')
    async def chatbot_response_back(self, message: discord.Message):```

How do I detect if the message is a command and if so, then stop the command execution

[fast osprey]

Listeners run in addition to the default behavior, which is to run commands

If you want to influence how/when commands are run, you would do that in the base on_message event

[languid dragon]

Hi

[languid dragon]

Hlo

[neon gull]

Yes it will, it’ll just keep raising missing intents errors. The bot will start, the API will provide a socket, everything will communicate it’s just that nothing will happen

[neon gull]

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

client = commands.Bot(...)

@client.command()
async def command(ctx, *args, **kwargs):
  ...

That'll just use your prefix command. So say you've got prefix = '>'

It'd be >command

Or you can make an "application command" which is just the slash commands.
That looks like

import discord
from discord import app_commands
from discord.ext import commands

client = commands.Bot(...)

@app_commands.command(name='command', description='This is a command')
async def command(interaction: discord.Interaction, *args, **kwargs)
  ...

And then you've gotta restart your bot and either clear your cache or wait the hour (I think) for discord to recache app commands.

(I'm severely late to this conversation ik)

[mint pecan]

is ctx.send and ctx.channel.send the same?

[golden portal]

it used to, but not now, in hybrid, ctx.send would be that or interaction.response.send_message

[toxic shadow]

i am making a bot but the bot doesnt seem to reconise the command, but i reconises all the other ones. this is the code: @bot.command() async def website(ctx): embed = discord.Embed( title="Reputation Bot Website", description="Visit the official website for more information: [Reputation Bot Website](https://swiftly-fast.github.io/Reputation-Bot/)", color=discord.Color.blue() ) await ctx.send(embed=embed)

anyone know whats wrong with it?

[toxic shadow]

Can you help with this?#discord-bots message

[golden portal]

looks fine to me, you're saying only this command is not recognize by the bot?

[toxic shadow]

Yes

[golden portal]

this is in your main file?

[toxic shadow]

Yes

[golden portal]

show the whole file

Tr y reinviting the bot to teh server

[toxic shadow]

i have the file now what?

[rare hollow]

Try reinviting the bot to ur server

[rare hollow]

alr

[toxic shadow]

that won't work

[rare hollow]

did u try it?

always works for me

[toxic shadow]

there is no point

i won't

[rare hollow]

alr do as u please

[golden portal]

why do you need on_message there? it does the same thing as your website command

anyway, see https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html#why-does-on-message-make-my-commands-stop-working

[toxic shadow]

its to see if it would work

[toxic shadow]

what section?

i eill try this:

async def website(ctx):
    embed = discord.Embed(
        title="Reputation Bot Website",
        description="Visit the official website for more information: [Reputation Bot Website](https://swiftly-fast.github.io/Reputation-Bot/)",
        color=discord.Color.blue()
    )
    await ctx.send(embed=embed)```

and i got this:
2024-09-30 07:48:36 ERROR discord.ext.commands.bot Ignoring exception in command None discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandNotFound: Command "website" is not found

[golden portal]

send the full code again?

[toxic shadow]

Ok

[toxic shadow]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/C4YQ

[golden portal]

the pasted code looks incomplete

[toxic shadow]

It's BC I am on my phone and not my laptop so it ain't like properly formated

Does it change if I am doing this locally? On python3 ???

[golden portal]

nope, your error is not matching your pasted code so, probably since you're not showing me the correct code you're using

[toxic shadow]

I am

I GTG when I come back I'll send it again on my laptop correctly

[toxic shadow]

I am also having issues where if I do a command I get a response and everything so ik it's working. But in the terminal it says command not recognised

I might have to re-set the terminal

[scarlet tiger]

Hey guys, is anyone here using GalaxyGate for a Discord bot? Is this a good service?

[wanton current]

There's better for cheaper elsewhere

Looking at the standard, eg. Hetzner has better for less than half the price

[scarlet tiger]

I used DigitalOcean but it is very expensive

[mint pecan]

i dont get it, so it is the same or not?

[golden portal]

nope

[mint pecan]

can i also know the difference

[golden portal]

in hybrid, ctx.send would use interaction.response.send_message when its a slash command, and ctx.channel.send when its a normal prefix command

[young dagger]

Good practice?

f"**Moderator:** {self.bot.get_user(infraction.get('moderator_id')) or 
                                  await self.bot.fetch_user(infraction.get('moderator_id')) or 'Unknown'}\n"

Tries to get the user from the cache first, If not found it fetches the user from Discord, If both methods fail it will fallback to Unknown.

To avoid making unnecessary Discord API calls if the moderator is already cached as a member in the server

[wanton current]

this is pretty common, usually called "getch" (get + fetch)

could probably make it into a function for prettier code

[blissful crane]

fetch_x raises discord.NotFound, not return None so or 'Unknown' is wrong

[wanton current]

true

[young dagger]

So I would need to do something like:

try:
    moderator = self.bot.get_user(infraction.get('moderator_id')) or await self.bot.fetch_user(infraction.get('moderator_id'))
except discord.NotFound:
    moderator = 'Unknown'

f"**Moderator:** {moderator}\n"

Because get_user will return None and relay on bot.fetch_user

[blissful crane]

yea, but as willi suggested. Making it a function is better

[young dagger]

Can you give me an example of that?

[blissful crane]

just take this code, put it in an async function and use that function wherever you need

[copper flume]

does an autosharded bot set shards automatically?

my bot is in 1001 guilds with 1 shard (ID: 0)

[wanton current]

yes

hence auto

[copper flume]

then why do I have 1 shard in 1000 guilds 💀

[wanton current]

because sharding is only required at 2500 guilds

Autosharded bot uses the recommended shard count that discord sends when logging in via the gateway

[copper flume]

alr

[wanton current]

You can shard manually if you want your own amount of shards

[fast osprey]

Not really sure why you'd bother with sharding until discord tells you that you need to, but you do you

[stark ingot]

Most people set it up around 2000-2250 guilds. Other before then it can actually cause performance decreases.

[slate swan]

Discord recommends you the number of shards you should use if you hit the /gateway/bot endpoint

(which is what AutoShardedBot uses iirc

[neon gull]

It was a very elementary problem. Your variable in def website(): is ctx.send. So it looks like def website(ctx.send):

Just change that to def website(ctx): and you’ll be all set

Just one of those times where you’re typing so fast you don’t realize what you did

[neon gull]

Mines in 3 and I have 3. Mostly cause I rate limit EVERY second and the bot would lag tf out of it was single shard

[wanton current]

🤨

[neon gull]

I’m not allowed to talk about what it does because in the most literal sense it breaks TOS

Not discord TOS just a companies TOS

[fast osprey]

Which by extension breaks discord tos

[stark ingot]

Number of shards does not effect your ratelimits?

[blazing beacon]

youve said too much

[neon gull]

Each shard is rate limited independently of the others.

[neon gull]

I mean idrgaf it's not like it's illegal

[clear elm]

anyone know how to make roblox-discord activity tracking

[fast osprey]

This isn't true at all

[stark ingot]

The only way to increase your limits is by getting approved by support after your bot reaches 150,000 guilds

[slate swan]

And even then, it's the global rate limit only

[fast osprey]

Also doesnt apply to bucket level rate limits

Which are completely separate

[slate swan]

how to go about making a vanity roles bot

like checks for /keyword in bio or status

[fast osprey]

You're going to have to be a bit more specific on the flow you want

[slate swan]

Anyone wanna make a cool discord bot with me I have all the resources

[sick birch]

!d discord.on_presence_update

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_presence\_update

discord.on_presence_update(before, after)```
Called when a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Member) updates their presence.

This is called when one or more of the following things change:

• status

• activity

This requires [`Intents.presences`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Intents.presences) and [`Intents.members`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Intents.members) to be enabled...

[sick birch]

this event tells you when a user changes their status

[slate swan]

wht abt bios

[sick birch]

not sure you'll have to test it

[stark ingot]

I dont think user bios are exposed to the API

[fast osprey]

They aren't, by design

[stark ingot]

like checks for /keyword in bio or status
Probably to prevent this exact use case.

[fast osprey]

The public reason is for privacy concerns, they don't want bots scraping this as people put demographic info in there

[inner copper]

someone help me out im creating a bot but having trouble making my bot send a dm message

from what i understand this await member.send(f"You have been kicked from {ctx.guild.name}. Reason: {reason}") should send a dm message but instead it send it directly in my server

[sick birch]

show the rest of the code?

[frigid stratus]

you sure in member.send, the member is a discord.Member obj not a discord.TextChannel

[fast osprey]

You also should not be dming people who did not consent and ask to be contacted

[vocal plover]

I can't see an issue with DMing people from a bot as a result of moderation actions, it's quite reasonable, I've never seen anyone have an issue with it, and if they do maybe they should consider not breaking the server's rules

[fast osprey]

It's quite literally against the developer policy, whether you personally agree with it or not

5. Do not contact users on Discord without their explicit permission.

Breaking your server rules isn't grounds for in turn breaking the developer policy. Just kick them, nobody is saying they need to be messaged. If they're worth an explanation, a human can contact them and explain it to them

[vocal plover]

It's done by every large server - and most small servers for that matter, we wouldn't be able to operate without doing it. It's something Discord clearly has no issue with as they've verified countless bots whose primary purpose is moderation with this as a key feature. If we were to DM members manually we'd open ourselves up to the sort of harassment that we get through modmail threads, only they'd know exactly who we are. It's evident that you don't have experience moderating large servers, so I suggest you don't speak without thinking when it comes to things you don't know about. You should also read the rules you quote before sending condescending messages about them, because they quite clearly state "not directly related to maintaining or improving an Application's functionality," and quite clearly this behaviour improves the functionality of a moderation bot.

[inner copper]

it only dms them when theyre muted kicked or banned

does that go against TOS

[inner copper]

I figured it out

[young dagger]

No you are good

We use Discord bots so we can automate some of the moderation

[fast osprey]

Just because people do X does not mean X is compliant with the policy

[inner copper]

well im asking if its okay or not

[fast osprey]

The policy also does not make exceptions in those cases. It says not to contact people who did not explicitly ask you to. It doesn't say "oh nvm you can do that whenever you want if you also kicked them"

Either get their approval, send the message in the guild where their notification settings are respected, or don't say anything

[vocal plover]

I suggest you stop misleading people, or as I like to call it "lying when you've already been corrected":

Do not contact users on Discord without their explicit permission. This includes frequently sending unsolicited direct messages and/or sending direct messages not directly related to maintaining or improving an Application's functionality.
In the case of a moderation bot, sending a DM following a punishment is categorically "directly related to maintaining or improving an Application's functionality." This is not something that anyone but you finds controversial at all. It's not something Discord doesn't want bots to do, indeed platform moderation - something they already provide limited tools for, and rely heavily on external applications for - would be worse without it. It is not within Discord's interests to disallow that behaviour, just as it is not within their interests to actually take action against client mods (and those actually are against the ToS unlike this).

[fast osprey]

You can't just pick what you want and say that's the functionality, or that could be applied to justify dming anyone at any point you want if that's the "functionality"

It's obnoxious, it violates my notification settings, and it's not required for the bot to actually perform the meaningfully functional operation

It also costs nothing to be upfront with users and get their consent

Also if you want to rules lawyer, that clause is in a sentence that starts with "this includes". It does not override the first sentence

[young dagger]

Yes, it's part of the functionality, as that is something you would expect from a Discord moderation bot. It’s more confusing why you are defending it as not being so.

[vocal plover]

You can't just pick what you want and say that's the functionality
Yes, you can, that's exactly what you do, that's literally what creating your own bot is, nobody else is deciding your functionality.

It's obnoxious
First time I've heard that opinion, so I don't believe it's very widely held.

it violates my notification settings
Block it. Turn off DMs for the server. Those are the settings that stop it DMing you, notification settings don't block DMs and never have, if they did this wuldn't be a conversation we're having.

and it's not required for the bot to actually perform the meaningfully functional operation
Yes, it absolutely is. We handle several hundred moderation cases per day, many of these are automated, we don't hev the resources (not inclination, I will elaborate further shortly) to manually contact every use to inform them about these, and if they're not informed the punishment is functionally useless because they do not know not to continue. The reason I alluded to earlier why we don't want to contact them by hand is that when moderators manually interact it opens them up to targeted abuse from the user, something that's largely avoided by the anonymity of a moderation bot. I am not going to put my staff team in a position to receive a greater amount of abuse because one person doesn't like that they haven't found the server setting to stop people sending them DMs.

It also costs nothing to be upfront with users and get their consent
In money, sure. In retention, asking users to select stuff like that when they join a server dramatically reduces the retention rates of members. People join servers for the server, not to click through menus and options. It's widely accepted that moderation bots will DM you in this way, and effective moderation is not something that's optional or which we get a choice in. We are required to moderate our servers in accordance with Discord's policy, and we cannot do that without effective tooling. You might get away with it on a server of a hundred people, but I'm running a server of over 550k, efficiency and automation of this sort is non negotiable for the server to effectively function.

[inner copper]

so what if i just give thema welcome message letting them know that they will be dmed from moderation bots when kick/muted/warned/banned 👍

[fast osprey]

I'm not going to argue with y'all on very clear language lol. Pointing that you don't like it doesn't change the lettering of the policy. It says not to contact people who did not give you explicit permission to do so. The sentence after it does not change that

[inner copper]

im not arguing im seriously asking if its okay if i let them know on join

[quick gust]

No but it explains it...

[vocal plover]

You're right the language is very clear:

[fast osprey]

You're good. I don't think you could reasonably defend that a welcome message is "explicit permission"

[vocal plover]

Clear enough?

[fast osprey]

Read the beginning of that sentence.

What does "this includes" imply to you

"You can't bring fruit in here. This includes oranges that don't have stickers" -> I can bring any fruit with stickers

[stark ingot]

I dont think that qualifies as "explicit permission". From my understanding "explicit" means that the user has to physically agree by pressing a button or similar. Where your solution would work if it just said "permission".
Im not saying you are not allowed to to any of this, im just pointing out that thing.

[inner copper]

well i think i should be okay knowing massive bots like mee6 and dyno send dms to people

[fast osprey]

Mee6 also got away with literally scamming people so

Up to you if you want to violate the developer policy just because others do

[viscid hornet]

how did they scam people?

[young dagger]

That is a fallacy, not what we actually were discussing

[inner copper]

but its not going against it because the rules of my server will tell them they will be dmed by the mod bot

[fast osprey]

It was in response to them bringing up mee6 so how is that not relevant lol

[fast osprey]

That is not explicit permission unless they are agreeing to it

If you want to put that in then go bonkers

[young dagger]

You can't draw a parallel between scamming and DMing people if they have been warned

[fast osprey]

I'm drawing a parallel between "mee6 does it" and "it's okay for me to do"

And providing a very clear case where that line of thinking breaks down

[inner copper]

the python bot literally dms when you verify in this server

[fast osprey]

Pointing at people doing something doesnt change the lettering of the policy, not sure why y'all keep thinking it does

[inner copper]

heres what discord has to say

"Discord’s Terms of Service and privacy settings allow bots to send DMs to users, provided the users have allowed direct messages from server members in their privacy settings. If a user has disabled this option, the bot cannot bypass it to send messages, ensuring user privacy and preventing unsolicited DMs. This means that for a bot to DM users, they need to have their DM permissions enabled within the server they share with the bot. Discord does not provide a way to force DMs to users who have disabled this setting for privacy reasons​(
Discord Support
)​(
Discord Support
).

Make sure your bot respects these settings to avoid any issues with user privacy and compliance with Discord's guidelines."

[fast osprey]

There's also the fun disconnect that discord is great at not enforcing their policies consistently so take that with a grain of salt

[young dagger]

I just think you perceive it in a different and very odd way

[quick gust]

"This includes frequently sending direct messages not directly related to maintaining or improving an Application's functionality"

this implies any feature that is not required for improving the functionality of the application should not be sending dms to the user.

The existence of "not directly related" implies that the opposite is not against their policy.

[fast osprey]

"This includes" directly elaborates on a subset. It does not impose a limitation at all on the preceding sentence

[inner copper]

alright thank you for the help fellas hope yall have a good day 👍

[quick gust]

You're missing the part where they make the exception with "which is NOT DIRECTLY... "

[fast osprey]

I'm not missing that, because "this includes" by definition means it cannot limit the terms of the preceding sentence

[meager rock]

oh drama

[fast osprey]

"This is limited to" would be completely different

[meager rock]

Do not contact users on Discord without their explicit permission. This includes fremdently sending unsolicited direct messages and/or sending direct messages that are not directly related to maintaining or improving an Application's functionality hope this makes it easier to understand

[young dagger]

We both know that this is something acceptable to Discord. It seems that you are more interested in stirring up drama and confusing newcomers to Discord bots, but that is just my opinion

[fast osprey]

I never said anything about "acceptable". I'm pointing out the terms of the policy, which are vastly more relevant to this server's rules than what discord "accepts"

[uneven agate]

agreed

[quick gust]

very helpful, thanks sarth

[uneven agate]

ikr

[tough rain]

Is it possible using python requests to listen for any dms to your own account? instead of a bot

[meager rock]

that's self botting, against TOS

[uneven agate]

yes

[tough rain]

oh but theoretically

[fast osprey]

You can't use requests to "listen" for anything

[meager rock]

well not using requests but a websocket yes

[tough rain]

yea thats what i thought

[tough rain]

👍

[fast osprey]

and really I don't think it's the right tree to bark up for "theoretically" violating server rules lol

[tough rain]

yea good idea, thanks

[brazen raft]

If something in the subset is described with polarization ("sending direct messages not directly related to ..."), it would be meaningfully implied that the polar opposite is not part of that subset. If it were meaningful, (A or not A) could always be assumed true and (A and not A) could always be assumed false when talking about elements in logic

We're arguing for meaning in implicit exclusion. You're arguing for meaning in potentially confusing/irrelevant/detached wording

[fast osprey]

If they wanted to list an exception, they have very clear wording to do so (and use that wording elsewhere in their policy)

[vocal plover]

They did list it clearly, you're just incapable of understanding what you're quoting apparently.

[fast osprey]

They didn't. They have a consistent way of identifying exclusions. They chose not to use it here

Anywhere else you read in either the policy or tos where there is an exclusion to a set, they do not use "this includes"

This is ultimately a fruitless conversation between people who are most likely not lawyers, so interpret as you will.

The funny thing is that entire ambiguity is bypassed by just having the decency to ask your users before forcing things down their throat, and that's what this whole argument is built on

[vocal plover]

having the decency to ask your users before forcing things down their throat
I hope you know how self-righteous you sound. If someone in my server decides to break the rules then I hardly think that sending them a concise message explaining that they have been warned is "indecent", compared to their own rule breaking behaviour. I can only assume you frequently get punished if it bothers you that much, maybe you'd be better off if you didn't do that, and then mod bots wouldn't DM you 🙃

[fast osprey]

I don't. I just report any bot that dms me without my consent, because that's what the policy encourages

[vocal plover]

And nothing happens. Funny that.

You just seem to have a lack of understanding of how the platform actually functions

[fast osprey]

The thing being argued here is taking away control from users on things affecting them and only them, and it's that important to you to strip people of that option

[vocal plover]

I'm not arguing for or pushing for that option to be stripped, and indeed users can prevent that with a platform provided option which cannot be bypassed. There is an option to not allow DMs not from friends, which solves the issue of bots DMing you, this is something that you and other users are free to do. Do not misrepresent my stance on this, that's not very decent of you.

[fast osprey]

The default is opt out. The onus is not on users to opt out of being contacted by bots.

[vocal plover]

And for most things I would agree, but there are clear cases where it makes sense to DM the user if they have DMs open. Moderation is one of those cases, is a core part of mod bots' functionality, and therefore by interpretation of more or less everyone but you is fine according to "directly related to maintaining or improving an Application's functionality."

[fast osprey]

Which is, again, an example subset included in the umbrella of that rule and not an exclusion

[vocal plover]

If you don't think it's decent to send users a DM in that case you clearly have no experience dealing with large communities, moderation is already hard and we don't need our lives to be made harder in this way. Volunteer moderation using mod bots is how the platform functions because Discord's own level of moderation is minimal.

[fast osprey]

I don't know how else to describe what the words "this includes" means

I don't think it's decent to refuse to give users the option to opt in

[vocal plover]

And I lack any way to explain in simple English how the following words are a pretty clear callout to a case where the rule doesn't apply

[fast osprey]

Or at minimum be upfront about what you are going to do

[vocal plover]

Opting in to being punished? Stop deluding yourself, that makes no sense

[fast osprey]

Being dmd isn't a punishment wut

Nobody is stopping you from moderating

[vocal plover]

How are you expecting users to be given warnings?

[fast osprey]

Tag them in the server and abide to their notification settings, or have a human explain it to them

[quick gust]

"I broke this rule but how dare u privately contact me to warn me about it without my permission"

[vocal plover]

Per my previous message

The reason I alluded to earlier why we don't want to contact them by hand is that when moderators manually interact it opens them up to targeted abuse from the user, something that's largely avoided by the anonymity of a moderation bot. I am not going to put my staff team in a position to receive a greater amount of abuse because one person doesn't like that they haven't found the server setting to stop people sending them DMs.
I also have no interest in discussing people's punishments in public in the server, that creates needless drama and further increases the moderation burden.

[fast osprey]

The mechanism for a bot to contact a user is via their shared server, unless they have consented to being contacted. There are not magical exceptions to this based on things you personally believe are important enough to override their power to choose how they get notified and what the defaults as such are

It's literally just asking them for consent, that's it

[vocal plover]

How do you expect that to be done, exactly? How do you expect that to result in an effective moderation system? If we ask on join "do you wish to be DMed about warnings" then naturally, anyone likely to get one is going to answer "no", that's not an acceptable situation for a moderation environment. Regardless of what pedantic way you wish to misinterpret the developer terms, the idea that you can just have users cooperate with regards to their own punishments is laughably stupid. Volunteer moderation is a core part of platforms like Discord, because there's no way they can afford to do that in-house, so shooting those people in the foot to spite advertising bots is ridiculous.

[fast osprey]

You are again misrepresenting my argument. At no point have I advocated for getting in the way of "punishments". Sending a dm is not a punishment. If the user doesnt consent to being dmd, which they can implicitly already do, how you choose to respond to that is entirely in your power. Let them in, kick them out, I don't care

You lose nothing by being upfront about what your bot does unless you are maliciously hiding that behavior from your users

[vocal plover]

Sending a dm is not a punishment.
I can pick countless moderators who will disagree with you on this. Once again, you evidently have no experience in this area so I would refrain from saying things that are wrong and make you look silly without basis.

[fast osprey]

I do have experience. I just don't feel the need to hide what I'm doing and avoid getting consent from my users. To assume I don't have experience just because I don't agree with you is entirely uncharitable and not in good faith

If I am introducing users into an environment where the default understandings are not consistent with common defaults (they don't get dm'd by bots they haven't talked to), I spell that out for them and get their acknowledgment. The only reasons not to do so are either laziness or an active desire to withhold information, both of which are "silly without basis"

[vocal plover]

The only reasons not to do so are either laziness or an active desire to withhold information
You accuse me of saying things in bad faith and then ignore reasons I've given which vary from the two reasons you've selected to make me look bad. How ironic.

not consistent with common defaults
Not sure which magical made up universe you're living in, but the common default for public servers is that bots will DM you for punishments, this is hardly a subversion of a user's expectations, and reinforces my view that you have no experience in the area, because even if you did not personally do this there is no way you could possibly have been involved much if you're not aware that this is common across most servers.

[brazen raft]

Oh, okay

[fast osprey]

Something being common is not equivalent to it being user-friendly or consistent with policy. This is a repeated thing you keep parroting like it matters

What is common is spelling things out for users and having them consent to it when they enter into a server. What you are arguing against so vehemently is a single line saying that they will be contacted by the bot. That's what is so important to you to not do.

You can continue attacking me, and your presumed strawman that you think I am, and all it's doing is making you look ridiculous that you're doubling down to avoid writing one line in a framework that presumably already exists (since you're such a talented and experienced community moderator, surely you have that yes?)

[vocal plover]

Something being common is not equivalent to it being user-friendly or consistent with policy. This is a repeated thing you keep parroting like it matters
Frankly speaking, punishments are not supposed to be user friendly, they are a consequence of a user breaking rules, user friendliness is consequently not my top priority in the cases my bots are DMing people. I keep repeating it like it matters because it does matter, even if it goes against the policy (which I don't believe it does, but alas the interpretation debate is unlikely to be resolved unless you corner a T&S operative and get them to confirm it one way or another) that doesn't mean it's bad. Lots of things go against lots of policies and are not bad things; BetterDiscord and Vencord go against Discord's policy, yet they do nothing, because the majority of people use them to make their experience on the platform better, which increases user count and retention for Discord. This piece of policy was quite obviously written with the intent of stopping the likes of MEE6 sending advertising and crypto DMs to users (though Discord, for whatever reason, seems reluctant to do anything to MEE6 no matter how many policies they violate), they are not to stop reasonable use cases like DMs upon moderation actions, which is why they have never chosen to take action on bots that do that.

to avoid writing one line in a framework
I hardly think it matters whether I add "a bot will DM you when you receive a punishment" in a Google doc where our policy lives, we know full well that nobody reads it anyway, it's there to point to when people do things against the rules to justify the action we take for rules lawyers. Adding a line to it, as I'm sure you can appreciate, will not materially affect anything with regards to users consenting or being informed. If it makes you happy I'll add it as soon as I get home and have my Google account logged in, but I fail to see how it'll change anything.

P.S. I've been sharing this conversation with other moderators I know to get their opinions and to make sure that I'm not saying anything that's ludicrous or misrepresents what most large servers do, and while you - as the sole person I've met who is incredibly angry that bots would dare to DM you - may believe I look ridiculous for arguing my side, it would appear that I don't to most reasonable people.

[quasi frigate]

hey can you make a bots prefix an emoji?

i would test it but i dont want to 💅

[sick birch]

i dont see why not

[slate swan]

it's text like anything else, so yes it will work

[blazing beacon]

ww4 here okay-

[timber dragon]

True

[golden portal]

i mean it's your server though

[hasty pike]

Very helpful

[golden portal]

413 means payload is too large, perhaps you may need to increase your server's upload size?

[cerulean folio]

hi, my very old bot now doesn't get online nor gets in my server after i invited it, is there any updates that broke old bots or am i doing something wrong?

[chrome shard]

Hey guys I'm trying to get help with something. I'm using AllTalk in SillyTavern Launcher for TTS on an AI chatbot. The TTS has trouble handling punctuation. I found this script in the AllTalk folder that adjusts the punctuation by doing things like replacing multiple periods with a single period. Can it be adjusted to simply remove all punctuation?

# Replace multiple exclamation marks, question marks, or other punctuation with a single instance cleaned_part = re.sub(r"([!?.\u3002\uFF1F\uFF01\uFF0C])\1+", r"\1", part)

Here's the whole script I'm looking at: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/AKQA

Also sorry if this is the wrong help channel. I'm not sure where to categorize this.

[stark ingot]

You will probably find better help in just the general help channels
#❓｜how-to-get-help

[stark ingot]

Make sure you are inviting your bot with the bot scope

[chrome shard]

Thank you

[cerulean folio]

Thank you very much 🤦🏽‍♂️ ❤️

is that your entire post request?

[livid hare]

i have selfbot and chatbot don't listen here bad community nobody is going to help u if it's against tos

[fast osprey]

Might not wanna broadcast to the world that you're breaking tos on the platform you're breaking tos on

[hasty pike]

Bro is supporting and opposing him at the same time

[hasty pike]

It's little complicated, are there any examples?

[slate swan]

If it's complicated, why not use an API wrapper

[livid hare]

def tos idc

who wants to break jst breaks

nobody wants to be just a dev

[fast osprey]

[quick gust]

what are u on

[mint pecan]

how can i use the bot's mention as the prefix?

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.when_mentioned_or

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.when\_mentioned\_or

discord.ext.commands.when_mentioned_or(*prefixes)```
A callable that implements when mentioned or other prefixes provided.

These are meant to be passed into the [`Bot.command_prefix`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.command_prefix) attribute.

Example

```py
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=commands.when_mentioned_or('!'))
```...

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.when_mentioned

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.when\_mentioned

discord.ext.commands.when_mentioned(bot, msg, /)```
A callable that implements a command prefix equivalent to being mentioned.

These are meant to be passed into the [`Bot.command_prefix`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.command_prefix) attribute.

> Changed in version 2\.0: `bot` and `msg` parameters are now positional\-only.

[warm stirrup]

almost cried rn lmfao, i went to add a check if the inputed args are correct before the command can move on with an if statement, instead of putting and between every statement i put in or and the command wouldnt continue for the life of me 💀

spent 2 hours on it :)

[slate swan]

Happens, i also sometimes get that lmfao

[mint pecan]

why is there no "+ add app" button on my bot bio?

[hasty pike]

My bad misunderstood

[slate swan]

How many guilds is your bot in?

[hasty pike]

6.2k

[slate swan]

How many shards do you have?

[hasty pike]

1 😅

My first time using verified bot

[slate swan]

It's max 2.5k guilds per shard

Ideally between 2k and 2.2k per shard

[hasty pike]

so if i use commanda.AutoShardedBot and put shard_count=5

That's enough?

Or there will be more things i need to do?

[slate swan]

Just let it create the shards automatically

So that you don't need to always set the shards yourself

Just leave it empty, discord.py will request the endpoint of gateway bot to know the ideal number of shards you bot should have and spawn shards accordingly

Remove shard_count and let discord.py fetch the recommended shard counter from discord

[hasty pike]

Understood

Thanks

[slate swan]

It'll likely spawn 4 shards

[hasty pike]

@slate swan apart from sharding i can use everything same as it is or there be any differences?

[slate swan]

all the same

[hasty pike]

Ahh thanks

[slate swan]

a shard is just a connection

[hasty pike]

Spawned 6

[slate swan]

ah yeah mb it's 1k-1.2k recommended per shard

[left wing]

is there a demand for discord bot devs? cuz it's the only skill I'm rlly experienced with rn

[slate swan]

Go on fiverr/upwork for that

[hasty pike]

Still getting work? I thought it's long dead

[slate swan]

Dead as in?

[hasty pike]

No one wants personal bot coded anymore

Discord user's reduces after pandemic ended

[slate swan]

Well the best chances are there, and I'd say there's still a few that do

[slate swan]

mmm actually the opposite

It always grows by millions, like over 25 millions more than the year before

[fast osprey]

Is there a demand? Yes. Is there money? No

[hasty pike]

I should create a profile too then

Might get some extra pocket money

[slate swan]

Yeah definitely, who knows

There're still a few people that want a custom bot but have no knowledge to be fair

[hasty pike]

Who knows there will be big creator/streamer want bot for his server and ready to pay 100-200$

Creators spend alot

[fast osprey]

It's not 0, but the supply more than outweighs the demand. If you want to make money, bots aren't the play

[vocal plover]

there's tons of people who want personal bots, or bots for their server, but as solstice points out, none of them are willing to pay (most are teens w/o the money to spend on skilled work like development)

[slate swan]

The thing is that creating now a profile probably won't be that much effective, and there's lots of people that have already done it and gotten reviews

[hasty pike]

It's good as a side hustle and not the main income

[slate swan]

Well that's another problem to be fair

[hasty pike]

There are still people who pay more than 10-15$ monthly for premiums on their server bots and it's just better to replace it with own custom bot made for 30-50$ will save monthly expenditure

Just my opinion

But as they wish

[slate swan]

Well, they gotta host their custom bot as well - that's what these people often forget

Seen people who thought discord hosts the bots

[hasty pike]

Yeah that's different headache for them if they don't have any knowledge of it

[vocal plover]

if you're developing a bot for someone for $30 I hope it's only taking you under an hour to make the whole thing or you're severely underselling your work

[slate swan]

Honestly the price for developing a bot cannot really be said before knowing what people want

You may be able offer some bots that have x features that are already done, and $30 for these can be quite a lot or the opposite depending on what it does

[fast osprey]

It's a race to the bottom, as people who buy these bots can't discern quality, and some kid on fiverr will say they'll do it for six lollipops and a Fortnite skin

[slate swan]

Underrated work to be fair

[left wing]

Bro I'll take $5 😭

I just wanna get paid

[hasty pike]

Most of basic command people need are already premade so i just need to copy paste them into one project and see if there's something unique and extra client needs then negotiate price further based on their needs

[hasty pike]

Fortnite skins was hilarious ngl 💀

[hasty pike]

Depends on quality and efforts tbh

[left wing]

Bro I'd give a decent amount of effort for just 5 dollars

I live in a 3rd world country so I can basically pay my gym membership with that 5 dollars

[hasty pike]

Prepare for winter arc

[left wing]

My parents said they can't pay my membership anymore 😭

That's why I want to earn some cash online

[hasty pike]

😭

Wanna work with me?

Not sure what i can pay but you'd get to learn

[left wing]

Id love to man

[hasty pike]

Hop in

[left wing]

Aight

[slate swan]

lmao, just go to the gym the entire year

[spring flax]

If I can only host one bot on my hosting server is it bad to try and condense multiple custom bots (each for one server) into one bot and check the guild id before doing commands or anything for each server?

[slate swan]

Technically not, should eventually reconsider your hosting provider though

[spring flax]

Yeah I’m trying to not spend money on them but hopefully later

[hasty pike]

Yeah but winter season is best for bulking that's why winter arc is more hyped up

[slate swan]

Find it pretty sad tbh lmao

[fast osprey]

How would your host know how many processes you're running, or care?

[slate swan]

Probably because it's one of those hosts that fetch your repo or you post the code and have that one process running or something similar

[vocal plover]

the host cold easily use setrlimit() to limit threads, but that would be extremely strange, since d.py/forks use a thread per shard in addition to the main one, so they'd just be prohibiting sharding essentially

[fast osprey]

Yeah if your host is actively being hostile towards what you're trying to accomplish, you're probably getting scammed by a "free" host. That money has to come from somewhere, and in this case it's probably coming from your sanity

[vocal plover]

or worse, your data

honestly with a host that did that I'd 100% expect them to be running it to collect tokens and then use them for malicious purposes

[slate swan]

The expectation honestly

[spring flax]

Is it easy process to make a bot run as a docket container?

Docker*

[amber thorn]

How do I make a bot like this python bot?

[fast osprey]

what functionality are you trying to make that you can't?

[tender bobcat]

(?

Why you think you are the only one

[hasty pike]

Many bot has this features

And they've been using it since few years

[shrewd apex]

what does an image logger do? record images sent by users in another channel?

hmm not sure about the exact use cases might be a bit sensitive here and there, but a cool project regardless

noice

[hasty pike]

I would like to see how you implemented it

You said you can share code i said I'd love to see

Believe me what i write is more messy

😭

[young dagger]

Can I see it?

[cunning cedar]

@bot.event
async def on_messge(message):
    msg = message.content.lower()
    word = 'test'

    if word in msg:
        await channel.send("testy")
``` im new to python bot development and if i type test it wont send back testy

[fast osprey]

Do you have the message content intent?

[cunning cedar]

intents.messages = True yes

[fast osprey]

That's not message_content

[cunning cedar]

oh uh

idk then

is there like a python docs google.com isn't really helping me today 😦

[fast osprey]

You need to turn message_content on if you want message content ya

[cunning cedar]

anyway how? is it intents.message_content = True?

[fast osprey]

yup

[cunning cedar]

nope

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.messages = True
intents.message_content = True

@bot.event
async def on_messge(message):
    msg = message.content.lower()
    word = "a"

    if word in msg:
        await channel.send("testy")

[fast osprey]

That isn't what you just typed

[cunning cedar]

with intents. it gives me an error

so i removed it

[fast osprey]

What's the error?

[cunning cedar]

enable the privileged intents within your application's page

[fast osprey]

Then you need to do that

[cunning cedar]

man i just wanna code i hate config

should i re-add bot?

[fast osprey]

Nah

[cunning cedar]

doesn't work, only added

ain't no way

i didn't giv emy bot administrator

still doesn't work

no errors

[fast osprey]

Don't give your bot admin

nothing to do with this error

Make sure you save after that toggle

[cunning cedar]

yeah i saved changes turned bot on typed a no response

[fast osprey]

What is your code now?

[cunning cedar]

same as before

[cunning cedar]

^

i only changed that

[cunning cedar]

.

[fast osprey]

So no error?

[cunning cedar]

.

late response mb

[pure basin]

try printing msg

see if it will print it or not

also shouldn't it be message.channel.send?

[cunning cedar]

im new but gtg

[cunning cedar]

i test tmrw

[slate swan]

Does anyone need help w a bot

I’m an expert

[unreal pilot]

yo does anyone know how to work with integration_types in discord.py? I am trying to make my discord bot an application that is user installable, not just server installable

[golden portal]

!d discord.app_commands.user_install

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.user\_install

@discord.app_commands.user_install(func=None)```
A decorator that indicates this command should be installed for users.

This is **not** implemented as a [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.check), and is instead verified by Discord server side.

Due to a Discord limitation, this decorator does nothing in subcommands and is ignored.

New in version 2\.4\.

Examples...

[golden portal]

Just use this deco

[mint pecan]

if i want to add checks to a hybrid command do i have to use both app_commands and commands?
example:

    @commands.has_permissions(ban_members=True)
    @app_commands.checks.has_permissions(ban_members=True)

[zinc gust]

yes

[hasty pike]

How do i check if user is mod or not?

[slate swan]

Check the permissions of the member

[timber dragon]

No, all ext.commands stuff works on both.

The app commands stuff will only apply to the slash command there, which means it will check twice when invoked via slash.

[timber dragon]

You could look for a role or a certain set of permissions:

# Define permissions for a "mod"
usual_mod_perms = discord.Permissions(
    moderate_members=True,
    kick_members=True,
    ...
)

member: discord.Member = ...
# Check whether the member has the same or more permissions than specified above
is_mod = member.guild_permissions.is_superset(usual_mod_perms)

• https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Member.guild_permissions
• https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Permissions.is_superset
  I would recommend permissions over potentially hard-coding a role that will only work on one specific server. Unless you make it configurable.

[cunning cedar]

@bot.event
async def on_messge(message):
    msg = message.content.lower()
    word = "a"

    if word in msg:
        print("debug")
        message.channel.send("yo")
``` no debug message, should i send all code? i use vsc

[fast osprey]

What is the message content you're getting?

[mint pecan]

does commands have a decorator that i can check if the author is the server's owner (not bot's owner)?

[fast osprey]

No, you'd have to check that yourself

[young dagger]

Do I need both import os and from dotenv import load_dotenv to import env from a file?

[slate swan]

Well you get the env variables with os.getenv("...") so yes

[unreal pilot]

Thanks, did t know about that decorator

Didnt

[mint pecan]

what's the difference between commands.<error> and commands.errors.<error>?

[blissful crane]

no diff, commands/errors.py contains the error classes, and commands/__init__.py imports those classes

[pure basin]

it wont print debug?

[cunning cedar]

mhm

spending 13 hours a day looking at my pc is nice but goes fast

[slate swan]

I have a working bot and the programming does not have any problems, but when I run it it works fine for 5 minutes and then turns off and does not interact and does not show me any errors in the programming program.

[pure basin]

bro

[pure basin]

on_message not on_messge

[cunning cedar]

god i hate google sometimes

[slate swan]

For your information, the clip is accelerated

[cunning cedar]

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    msg = message.content.lower()
    word = "a"

    if word in msg:
        print("debug")
        message.channel.send("yo")
``` it sends debug console says
C:\Users\slime\OneDrive\Desktop\serverping\bot.py:38: RuntimeWarning: coroutine 'Messageable.send' was never awaited
  message.channel.send("yo")

[pure basin]

do u have a timeout put for the dropdown?

[pure basin]

yeah await message.channel.send...

[slate swan]

yes

[pure basin]

how long

[cunning cedar]

it works

now

time to learn python

[slate swan]

A minute Ill see

[cunning cedar]

i swear 95% dc users are 10 year olds and easily get hacked

like i joined a server with 5k ppl and it said "authorise app to join this"

[slate swan]

remaining_time = 180 - (discord.utils.utcnow() - last_ticket_time).total_seconds()
