!d datetime.datetime.strptime

[unkempt canyon]

datetime.datetime.strptime

classmethod datetime.strptime(date_string, format)```
Return a [`datetime`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime) corresponding to *date\_string*, parsed according to *format*.

If *format* does not contain microseconds or time zone information, this is equivalent to:

```py
datetime(*(time.strptime(date_string, format)[0:6]))
```...

[viral heart]

@viscid hornet I think I got it to work 🤷‍♂️

@bot.tree.command(name="info-dayz", description="Shows DayZ server information.")
async def info_dayz(interaction: discord.Interaction):

    payment_remaining_time = datetime.strptime(server_info['Payment_remaining_time'], "%Y-%m-%d %I:%M %p")


    current_time = datetime.now()

    time_remaining = payment_remaining_time - current_time

    if time_remaining.total_seconds() > 0:
        days = time_remaining.days
        hours = time_remaining.seconds // 3600 
        time_until_payment = f"{days} days, {hours} hours"
    else:
        time_until_payment = "Time has passed!"

    embed = discord.Embed(title="DayZ Server Information", color=discord.Color.green())
    embed.add_field(name="Server Name", value=server_info['name'], inline=False)
    embed.add_field(name="Password", value=server_info['password'], inline=False)
    embed.add_field(name="Start Time", value=server_info['start_time'], inline=False)
    embed.add_field(name="Time until next payment", value=time_until_payment, inline=False)
    
    await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed, ephemeral=True)

[viscid hornet]

dude you dont need all this

i told you just to parse the end time into a datetime object and then put the timestamp in that format

[viral heart]

I'd like to note I use chatgpt to help me with this

[viscid hornet]

dt.strptime("some string here", "your format here") then ts = int(end_dt.timestamp()) and then send <t:{ts}:R>

[viscid hornet]

!rule 10 - there's a reason we have this rule

[unkempt canyon]

Rules

10. Do not copy and paste answers from ChatGPT or similar AI tools.

[viscid hornet]

AI tools aren't reliable, especially for coding

[viral heart]

Its not purely AI, and I know that

[fast osprey]

Chatgpt will keep literally lying to you. I don't know how many times you need to be told that you need to stop using it and actually learn on your own

[viral heart]

Once I actually have the time and ability to learn, I will

For the time being, I will do my best to understand as much as I can and attempt to learn

[fast osprey]

Or you could just learn properly

[viral heart]

What's the "proper" way to learn it

[fast osprey]

Read articles on individual concepts, do small focused exercises to cement your understanding of those concepts. Don't ask chatgpt to shit out wrong code you don't understand and then hope strangers will fix it for you

[viral heart]

I'll have to do that when I have free time, right now I have school and alot of work to do each day

Once I switch schools I will be able to take an elective that teaches python though

[fast osprey]

Then do it then. What you're doing in the interim is reinforcing bad habits and you're asking people to spend their time for free to help you reinforce those bad habits

It really doesn't take that much time to read an article on how something works and try it. You're wasting just as much time trying to get people to fix ChatGPT's outputs. There's not an excuse here

[rigid depot]

What does a Discord bot usually cost?

[fast osprey]

To build? Run?

[wanton current]

probably to comission

[rigid depot]

To sell

[stark ingot]

Would depend on many things

• What the bot does
• How much work was needed to go into the bot
• What the creator charges
• What the buyers budget is
• Is hosting included?
• Is support included? For how long?
• What are other people selling a similar thing for

[fast osprey]

Also not a remotely python related question

[viscid hornet]

not sure if this is allowed or related, but where do people usually commission for these sorts of things?

[viral heart]

!rule 9

[unkempt canyon]

Rules

9. Do not offer or ask for paid work of any kind.

[viscid hornet]

how is that asking for paid work? i'm asking WHERE to get paid work, not FOR paid work

[vocal plover]

Fiverr or similar really

[viral heart]

@umbral flare When you had a DayZ server, did you by anychance go through nitrado

[umbral flare]

Yes

[viral heart]

Do you know how to have a bot get info from the ADM log files

[unkempt canyon]

Rules

5. Do not provide or request help on projects that may violate terms of service, or that may be deemed inappropriate, malicious, or illegal.

[slate swan]

!rule 7

[unkempt canyon]

Rules

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

[viral heart]

@slate swanWhat I'm asking doesn't violate anything, and as for rule 7 im not entirely sure

[slate swan]

meant to send rule 7

[viral heart]

Well its for my bot so I'd guess it'd be allowed here

[slate swan]

day z servers and their logs have nothing to do with discord bots

[viral heart]

It does when I want my bot to get the info from its log files and send the info into my server for killfeeds/stats/playerlists/locations

[fast osprey]

What you do inside of a discord bot doesnt make it discord bot related if it's not specifically the interface with the discord api

[viral heart]

It uses an API which I've seen discussed here, I just don't how to get the API or use it

[slate swan]

https://discord.dev

that is the api you'll get help for in this channel

[viral heart]

Okay

[royal shore]

i need help wit this problem

[vocal plover]

did you install discord.py with the optional voice dependencies? your command should've looked something like pip install "discord.py[voice]"

[royal shore]

oh ok

pip install discord.py[voice]

like this?

@vocal plover

i only did pip install discord.py not the voice

[vocal plover]

yep, just like that

that should install whats needed for voice

[royal shore]

ok

it installed

is that all i need?

i add the toke

token in the little brakcets

@vocal plover

@vocal plover the same problem happened

[finite salmon]

Do pip install audioop-lts

[royal shore]

i did it

[finite salmon]

You're missing intents kwarg

[royal shore]

oh

so like what i type

@finite salmon

[finite salmon]

Judging by your code you only need the privileged message content so,

intents = discord.Intents(messages=True, message_content=True)
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=",", intents=intents)

[royal shore]

with the bot run at bottom

[finite salmon]

I prefer to explicitly enable the required intents but you could also the the default method of the Intent class and then enable message content

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html?highlight=discord intent#discord.Intents

[royal shore]

ok so like how do i put it in the code

[finite salmon]

Take a look at all the intents

[finite salmon]

You have already put it?

[royal shore]

lemme try and run it

should i do

client

[finite salmon]

it should be client.run

[royal shore]

ok

[finite salmon]

Yeah

[royal shore]

@finite salmon

[finite salmon]

Go to the dev portal and enable message content intent

In your bot

Go to your application and under the bot tab

[royal shore]

ok

these?

@finite salmon

[finite salmon]

Yeah enable message content

[royal shore]

I need help

[fast osprey]

Your command says it needs an argument

and you aren't passing it in when you're calling it in discord

[royal shore]

so

what do i do

[blissful crane]

this is not a code issue

you're using your own command in the wrong way

[royal shore]

so

what do i do

[fast osprey]

Either
a) your code doesn't need that argument, in which case remove it or make it optional or
b) your code does need it, so you pass it in

[royal shore]

so

what do i do how do i fix it

[fast osprey]

I gave you options

[royal shore]

idk what to do

[fast osprey]

are you reading them or just want someone to write code

pick one of them

[royal shore]

i want someone to write

the code

[blissful crane]

even if you say so, that specific error is not due to code specifically but because you're using the bot in the wrong way

[royal shore]

ok

so how do i fix it

[runic beacon]

Hello Everyone

[fast osprey]

If you're not willing to engage with your code and make decisions, you're better off hiring someone

[royal shore]

huh?

[fast osprey]

^

this is a decision you make

[royal shore]

A i guess

what am i removing

[fast osprey]

Do you know what an argument is

[royal shore]

nope

[fast osprey]

So then how can you answer if you need an argument if you don't even know what an argument is

[raven swan]

nextcord or discord.py

(ik nextcord is forked from discord.py)

[slate swan]

whatever you prefer

look the way they implemented the features of discord, especially interactions like app commands or buttons, and choose whatever you prefer or find more comprehensive

[fast osprey]

Performance, quality of docs, speed of feature release, and support community are also things you may wish to consider

[stark ingot]

I like to share this site for comparisons
https://libs.advaith.io/#python
It does seem to be down rn but it will probably be fixed soon.

[slate swan]

iirc you can suffix with #python, hrefs

[vocal plover]

Functionally both of these will serve you fine, the docs are more or less the same thing, the primary difference is how slash commands are handled:

• Nextcord implements them in much the same way discord.py did (and does) prefix commands
• discord.py uses command trees, which is structurally different
  Both have roughly the same in terms of an external ecosystem, both have enough users to get reasonably good support, you can't really go wrong either way, write a small both with both and see whch you enjoy using more, because that's what's important really

[young dagger]

I recommend that you remove the N-word from your code as it is a racial slur

[raven swan]

FDSAJKFDSJAJV

[young dagger]

You okay?

[raven swan]

totally fine

[royal shore]

No

its part of my vocabulary

[royal shore]

i just need help bro dang just tell me what to change

[fast osprey]

You're not asking for help, you're asking for someone to do it for you lol

which maybe someone will do but it ain't gonna be me for free

[viscid hornet]

it's also against the server rules

[viral heart]

Could just change it temporally for a screenshot and change it back after if you prefer

[royal shore]

well ok

[frank osprey]

yeah best to get rid of the slurs and maybe someone will help you well maybe

[open cobalt]

who puts racial words into a discord bot. come on do better and grow up

and if you a grown human, what went wrong in your childhood?

it is better to clear these kind of words from your voc, because it can cause dispute or other uncontrolled behaviour

In addition, this word, like in your ready event, was used in slave times, for example, in the USA. It is a derogatory word and not used nicely. So please be aware of the origin of this word. It is not a word to throw out of your mouth.

[velvet compass]

@royal shore Your previous message was removed. Please avoid using slurs in code when asking for help on the server

[scarlet tiger]

But not all of us are from the USA and in some countries that speak Spanish it is part of their vocabulary and it is not an offense.

[open cobalt]

?!!!!!!!!

[scarlet tiger]

Yeah, I speak Spanish

[velvet compass]

I have addressed the user and clarified the situation, this discussion does not need to continue in the channel

[honest quest]

anyone know why a json file would be wiped after 11 trbes would register into the command? essentially you do /register to log your info and it then sits on a json file
it seems after we gather around 11 tribe datas, it just wipes the whole filef or some reason

[slate swan]

Don't use JSON as database ^^

[honest quest]

ive never coded with a database before 😦

[slate swan]

time to learn then

sqlite is a simple way to get started

[timber dragon]

https://sqlbolt.com/

[young dagger]

https://docs.python.org/3/library/sqlite3.html

[slate swan]

!pypi asqlite

[unkempt canyon]

asqlite v2.0.0

A simple and easy to use async wrapper for sqlite3.

Released on <t:1719317735:D>.

[slate swan]

!pypi aiosqlite3

[unkempt canyon]

aiosqlite3 v0.3.0

sqlite3 support for asyncio.

Released on <t:1532680839:D>.

[young dagger]

Which one is recommended?

[slate swan]

Both are good - the first one is just from Rapptz and may be easier to get started

[honest quest]

anyone know what code you could enter so your command will check to see if there is pre-existing data for the entry, if there isnt. It gives a request back to state their registered but it just adds another entry into the db?

trying to get it so the bot reads the data in my db first then will just add on top o fit without it wiping any extra data

[mellow leaf]

Hey

can anyone here help me make/develop a discord bot that will have 1000s of users? Itd be a coinflip bot with a balance system and payments.

[velvet compass]

Hey, you might want to re-read rules 6 and 9 of the server

[mellow leaf]

ok

[mellow leaf]

Its not for payment

thats the thing

Not at least "Real Money"

[velvet compass]

Yeah, thats still a no dawg

[mellow leaf]

ok

[stark ingot]

Generally there is a way to to
INSERT ... ON CONFLICT UPDATE ... in sql.

Where is the record already exists (using a primary key to ensure uniqueness) it will preform an update command instead

[slate swan]

we're not your personal assistants and take orders like that.

neither is this channel an AI prompt chat, so with that mentality you won't get much help

deleting your message order and then send "?" isn't gonna help

also reading the error will give away the issue instantly, so you can fix the error yourself with the help of the internet

[viscid hornet]

a balance system and payments

if this is real world money, doesn't that count as gambling?

[mellow leaf]

No, Its in game money from a minecraft server

donutsmp

[viscid hornet]

is it against the TOS to wager in-game currency outside of the platform?

[mellow leaf]

No. Because the way its set up is you pay the minecraft account that goes to a discord currency and you can withdraw that and you get paid the money ingame

its allowed like that

theres anotehr casino like it with 2000 members

for donutsm

[viscid hornet]

well if it's allowed then i have no objections

[mellow leaf]

Would you be willing to make it?

[fast osprey]

TOS apply to currencies with *Real-world value, so if this currency is reasonably traded or exchanged for legal tender then it would apply (otherwise not)

[slate swan]

whats wrong with this code?

[blissful crane]

I had to really zoom in to see the 20x20 res error... Anyway, it's an indentation error probably due to an unfinished statement above ```py
if value1 == value2:

@bot.command() # expected an indent block

[slate swan]

wait where do i put it at?

what line

[blissful crane]

put what?

I am just explaining why you're getting the error, there's isn't much info for me to give any other advice

[slate swan]

oh my bad sorry but look a this

[blissful crane]

the command isn't the issue

[slate swan]

then what is

[blissful crane]

the issue is an unfinished statement above the command

[slate swan]

above what?

[blissful crane]

the command

[slate swan]

what line

of the command

[blissful crane]

I don't know what line your command starts at

[stark ingot]

the entire command

[slate swan]

nvm i fix it thank u

[tall furnace]

is there an easy way to have your discord bot detect when you and/or others are live on twitch and send an automated message in a specified text channel announcing it?

[slate swan]

yes there is, since there are bots that do it

look at the twitch api

[tall furnace]

10-04 rubber ducky

also, is my bot supposed to run off of one .py file or multiple? i assume it would just be one as it is a program. with that in mind, the bot could potentially have thousands or tens of thousands of lines of code, correct?

[golden portal]

it can be multiple files

[slate swan]

use cogs

[tall furnace]

ahhh okay okay ty

[slate swan]

and split some logic into files, e.g. database, maybe some helpers/utils, etc.

[celest pelican]

I'm considering writing a project management bot, think (simplified) Jira in Discord. As prior art I only find very bare-bones projects; the most advanced I guess would be KanbanCord, but a) I think it's a missed opportunity not to use channels/forum posts for tickets, and b) it has no concept of a sprint, which is a must-have for me.

Are there existing tools that I'm not aware of? Is this just a bad idea?
And one technical question: Can a forum post be moved between forums?

[slate swan]

Are there existing tools that I'm not aware of? Is this just a bad idea?
Probably no such existing bot as it's very niche and probably won't be used a lot; but you can try to write such a bot and see how it performs.

Can a forum post be moved between forums?
No

[hushed galleon]

the bot could in theory replicate the post, but redoing its message history would be annoying, so forum tags might be simpler, e.g. mark a set of posts to be done in the current sprint and let users filter by todo + sprint

if filtering by tags is too inconvenient, perhaps the bot can use a second channel to periodically outline the current backlog / sprint tasks?

[stark ingot]

Big downside of forum tags is they sort with or
tag1 or tag2
Not tag1 and tag2

[hushed galleon]

o, i forgot tags don't intersect 🥺

[tropic gulch]

@slate swan I am interested in your bot let's talk.

[slate swan]

dont worry about it

[sharp hazel]

you entered the wrong url.

[analog swallow]

so https://apis.roblox.com/users/{user_id}/onlinestatus?

apis isnt even a api is it

[sharp hazel]

you're just entering the bad URL. Try to post:
https://users.roblox.com/v1/usernames/users
with the next json value:

{
  "usernames": [
    // Username u want to search
  ],
  "excludeBannedUsers": true
}

requests.post(url=..., json=....)

[analog swallow]

what would i made json=?

[sharp hazel]

{
  "usernames": [
    // Username u want to search
  ],
  "excludeBannedUsers": true
}

[analog swallow]

i know that but for requests.post(url=..., json=....)

[slate swan]

Literally what is above?

[patent hull]

You should also use aiohttp (installed within discord.py) and use the built-in ext.tasks submodule to create loops

[last cradle]

how to determine if a user has a banner, animated icon, and a custom emote in there statuses?

[patent hull]

If a user has a banner, then user.banner is not None, to check whether they're icon is animated, check if user.avatar.animated is True

!d discord.User.banner

[unkempt canyon]

discord.User.banner

property banner```
Returns the user’s banner asset, if available.

New in version 2.0...

What library are you using?

[slate swan]

discord.py

[stark ingot]

Looks like these are the 2 examples they have

this soloution

[stark ingot]

Probably close to the top of the code

i tried fix always error i try with nodes

i read about it it should be good

@stark ingot I am gona make it with nextcord

Works for me

!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/stable/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...

[golden portal]

see examples

[golden portal]

it's a single deco yea

[drifting arrow]

What can I use instead of

    async def cog_load(self):
        self.battlemetrics = Battlemetrics(self.tokens['tokens']['battlemetrics_token'])
        await self.announcer.start()
```?

cog listener?

[drifting arrow]

I have 2 cogs that need to start a loop on cog load. However only 1 loop is starting

And the other loop doesnt get initiated

Ended up moving the await self.announcer.start() to the __init__ section

it works ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[hushed galleon]

it should work just fine in cog_load() if you don't await it, because Loop.start() isn't a coroutine anyway

[drifting arrow]

oh lol

[hushed galleon]

you had unintentionally awaited the return value of Loop.start(), an asyncio.Task that was running the infinite loop

so your method probably got stuck waiting for your announcer loop to stop before it could run the next line

You won't get help to breach YouTube's terms of services, no

[summer fog]

ok thanks bro.Did you know alternative ways fix this proble?

[fast osprey]

By removing any of your code that touches youtube

[stark ingot]

Make your own music or find a platform that gives you permission to stream music

[deft mural]

spotify api could be a good one to use

[fast osprey]

spotify has terms in their tos, too

^

A platform has no incentive to give you free rights to redistribute content and screw over their creators lol

[opal vortex]

it can fry when roaches decide to find their way inside it too.

[shrewd apex]

would roaches survive the cpu temp first tho 👀

[opal vortex]

they can

they love heat esp in the winter lol

[shrewd apex]

damn

[opal vortex]

after all they can survive an atomic bomb

[shrewd apex]

fair enough

roaches for a reason

[opal vortex]

only way to kill them is line your laptop/pc with roach killer chemicals that they will most likely eat.

but even then they still could die inside of it after laying eggs.

💀

[viscid hornet]

wait this is a thing?? wtf??

wait there's guild install too??

holy shit, i feel like such a dumbass for doing ```py
@allowed_installs(guilds = True, users = True)

[fast osprey]

It's just syntactic sugar shortcuts

[slate swan]

upgrade to 2.4

eh, it's just the parameters of the function

!d discord.app_commands.choices

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.choices

@discord.app_commands.choices(**parameters)```
Instructs the given parameters by their name to use the given choices for their choices.

Example...

[viscid hornet]

does it have to be exactly those choices?

or can the user still just put in whatever they want

[slate swan]

Choices are choices

[sick birch]

it does

autocomplete does not

[viscid hornet]

oh fuck yeah. i'm definitely gonna use this

[stark ingot]

Limited to 25 choices tho

[viscid hornet]

oof maybe not then. autocomplete might be a better way to go

is this an Invite object or a static link?

!d discord.Invite

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Invite

class discord.Invite```
Represents a Discord [`Guild`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Guild) or [`abc.GuildChannel`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.abc.GuildChannel) invite.

Depending on the way this object was created, some of the attributes can have a value of `None`...

[finite salmon]

Does dpy have a app command version of this https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html?highlight=is_owner#discord.ext.commands.is_owner

Or do I have to make my own

[sick birch]

I don't believe so, but you can set a slash command to only be visible and usable to specific people and roles from the Integrations tab in server settings

[finite salmon]

I would need perms for that server and there's no way I would have perms to do that in every single server

[blissful crane]

if you want to make bot owner only commands you should make them prefix since you can hide prefix commands from users, but if you really don't want. Make it a test-guild only command

[finite salmon]

Yeah we sync it to an admin guild, but that guild has both admins and owners, we only want owners to use those commands not admins

We'll just make our own decorator for it ig

[stark ingot]

You can hide app commands by making them guild commands and setting default permissions along with settings in the integration settings.

[midnight quail]

Hello guys

[wintry rose]

i have peaked

[young dagger]

Should I list all updates for each event or just the latest one?

[timid spade]

getting the

even tho they are enabled in dev portal

[wanton current]

You need to enable them in the code as well.

[timid spade]

did, chat gpt'ed it

but still the warning is there

tried disable and then enable again too

[wanton current]

and did you pass it into your bot constructor

[timid spade]

intents=intents

yes

should i reset token? i am runing this app after like an year now

[wanton current]

if you saved and everything, then you either have the wrong token, or you changed the intents for the wrong bot (on the dev portal); most likely

[timid spade]

probably not possible but imma recheck

[timid spade]

worked

that token was so old, idk maybe that caused the issue

[wanton current]

nice

[wintry rose]

await interaction.response.send_message(poll=discord.poll(question="test",answers=['testanswer1','testanswer2']))
i ran this and it said module isnt callable

[timber dragon]

Poll*, it's a class

please read the docs https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Poll
spoiler: it doesn't take answers like that

[wintry rose]

i hate classes

[timber dragon]

welcome to OOP!

[wintry rose]

tf you mean it dont take answers like that??? 😭

[timber dragon]

read the docs

chatgpt doesn't know shit

[wintry rose]

probably should have guessed that the first problem would be the thing i put in there with no rhyme or reason

[wanton current]

[wintry rose]

is it like poll.add_answer()

like with embeds

[timber dragon]

did you check the docs?

[wintry rose]

i dont know how to read python docs imma be real

[timber dragon]

talking about the discord.py docs

[wintry rose]

i saw def add_answer() so im guessing its this

[timber dragon]

they're fairly easy to understand

[timber dragon]

yup!

[wintry rose]

its still saying its not callable

[wanton current]

big P

[wintry rose]

oh mb

[wanton current]

discord.poll would be the file (module) discord/poll.py

[wintry rose]

isnt there a way to test certain lines and not the entire program

[wanton current]

Usually you can use breakpoints and stuff, but I'm not sure they play so well with async stuff

[wintry rose]

i kinda figured but i had to figure out timedelta

also suprisingly simple

do the slash commands work as classes

nvm im dumb

[wanton current]

lol

[soft crag]

https://ptb.discord.com/channels/267624335836053506/1332427029982740661

[wintry rose]

uh oh am i sped

is this not how you do it???????????

[stark ingot]

it is send_message() as per the docs

[wintry rose]

mb

[cunning briar]

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
import os

TOKEN = "hided"


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


client = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!', intents=intents)

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print("BOT READY")

@client.command()
async def hello(ctx):
    await ctx.send("hello")

client.run(TOKEN)
``` why the bot doesnt respond

when i say !hello it doesnt respond

[stark ingot]

You do not have the message content intent enabled. You need to have this to read message content.

[viscid hornet]

message content intent is missing

[viscid hornet]

fuck man i was so close

[stark ingot]

I strongly recommend that you do not use prefix commands though. Slash commands will be easier in the long run

[slate swan]

turn on the message content intent like the others said, and make sure its enabled on the discord dev portal for your bot too

[slate swan]

they save bandwidth

they dont come to you to check if you've called them, saving energy aka bandwidth

[cunning briar]

when i added it ,it showed this problem

[stark ingot]

Did you look at the error?

[viscid hornet]

read the error

[viscid hornet]

surely it's marginal, right?

[slate swan]

yeah

[stark ingot]

Depending on your setup you can get rid of the gateway all together which is more than marginal

[slate swan]

think of it like this - a waiter who is constantly coming up to you and checking if you wanna pay the bill

(prefix commands, takes lots of energy)

[viscid hornet]

hm okay. i rarely need that concern to be honest, since very few people use my bots

[slate swan]

and a booth where you can pay your bill at (slash commands)

[fervent surge]

is the og discord.py still around?

[slate swan]

from 2015? yea

[sick birch]

i don't know if that's an accurate analogy

what are these?

[sick birch]

bookmarks and reminders maybe

save any message to DMs to look at later, and schedule a message to be sent at a later time

.bookmark

[lament depot]

You blew it.

Your input was invalid: You must either provide a reference to a valid message, or reply to one.

The lookup strategy for a message is as follows (in order):

1. Lookup by '{channel ID}-{message ID}' (retrieved by shift-clicking on 'Copy ID')
2. Lookup by message ID (the message must be in the current channel)
3. Lookup by message URL

Usage:```
.bookmark [target_message] [title=Bookmark]

[sick birch]

!remind

[unkempt canyon]

Missing required argument

expiration

[sick birch]

basically those commands

i find myself using these fairly often

bookmarks when i see an interesting message i may want to look into later, and reminds if I want to get back to someone on a topic later

not formal enough to need a dedicated knowledge management app or todo app

sure yeah

[viscid hornet]

what's the best way to implement a reminder / todo system?

as in how do i implement a date and time? could i parse one through regex?

[quick gust]

yes

[slate swan]

yep

i already have a function for this: ```py
def parse_time_string(self, time_str: str) -> int:
total_seconds = 0
time_units = {
'y': 31536000, # years
'mo': 2592000, # months
'w': 604800, # weeks
'd': 86400, # days
'h': 3600, # hours
'm': 60, # minutes
's': 1 # seconds
}
pattern = r'(\d+)([y|mo|w|d|h|m|s])'
matches = re.findall(pattern, time_str)

for value, unit in matches:
total_seconds += int(value) * time_units[unit]

return total_seconds

[last cradle]

is there a way to determine if user has a animated avatar and a custom or animated emoji in there status

[slate swan]

yes

[last cradle]

how

[slate swan]

animated avatar hashes start with a_

[last cradle]

and thats gonna be a work around to determine if user has nitro….

[quick gust]

no because not every nitro user has an animated pfp

[slate swan]

then the custom activity has an emoji field which has an animated field to know if the emoji is animated

and yeah it's not 100% sure the user has nitro with that

[last cradle]

ok

[slate swan]

will for some/lots of people be accurate, but not everyone

[last cradle]

what else do i do other than banner :o

[quick gust]

no reliable way, I'm pretty sure

[fast osprey]

You don't because discord doesnt tell you if someone has nitro intentionally. Why does it matter if they do?

[last cradle]

word

[stark ingot]

Because you have the wrong names for the flag object

[quick gust]

!d discord.PublicUserFlags

[unkempt canyon]

discord.PublicUserFlags

class discord.PublicUserFlags(**kwargs)```
Wraps up the Discord User Public flags.

[fast osprey]

What happens when it doesn't work? What does "work" mean here?

Also you really shouldn't be spawning channels for tickets. Use threads

[stark ingot]

Can you delete your messages and use the paste service, this is too hard to read

!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.

[pallid plank]

good god

[pallid plank]

@knotty cedar ^

[sick birch]

regex to parse the date/time, store it in a database. on startup, loop through all of them and create a task for each one

that part is important otherwise your reminders won't be persisted across restarts

[viscid hornet]

regex to parse the date/time

should i do what danny did with r. danny and parse for "today at" and "tommorow at"?

[sick birch]

yeah, or this

!src remind

[unkempt canyon]

Command: remind

Commands for managing your reminders.

Source Code

Go to GitHub

bot/exts/utils/reminders.py:277

[stark ingot]

how would it know the timezone?

[wanton current]

r. danny has commands for settings timezones

[sick birch]

either that or relative times (which i find is more common)

i.e x time from now

[stark ingot]

I am trying to figure out how to make a datetime input rn. I dont want to store a timezone of a user but I also dont want the user to have to input it

[sick birch]

well you don't have many options there

[stark ingot]

yeah...

[viscid hornet]

i'll implement in Xd Xh Xm Xs then

[exotic hazel]

I personally find this more convenient as a user

[viscid hornet]

i'll parse for X days X hours etc as well

[stark ingot]

-# Another reason that timezones should not exist

[rough ridge]

How do I color text? I've tried using escape characters and code blocks, but it doesn't show up on mobile.

[blissful crane]

discord lacks in that regard which is a big shame. There isn't much you can do unfortunately

[rough ridge]

The code over here seems to be colored properly, even on mobile, but when I try and replicate it, it never works...

[blissful crane]

how are you replicating

[stark ingot]

Code formatting can be applied and work on all (most?) platforms. This is shown below but you can replace py with many languages and formats. ANSI color codes are platform dependent and often do not work on mobile

!code

[unkempt canyon]

Formatting code on Discord

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py
print('Hello world!')
```

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

For long code samples, you can use our pastebin.

[tawdry wolf]

how do i split my commands in multiple files? And what are "cogs"?

[frank osprey]

ah yes them dam cogs

[scarlet tiger]

Cogs are classes that contain events or commands, and if there are multiple Cogs, they are known as extensions.

I'm not sure if Cogs are created the same way in all libraries

[fast osprey]

Extensions are just external files that get loaded into the bot. Whether they contain cogs or how many is an implementation choice

[frank osprey]

Wait so everything goes of the main bot.py file?

you know what i mean

[fast osprey]

[frank osprey]

ah maybe not then dont worry

[last cradle]

how do they make the title clickable

[scarlet tiger]

It's not a title, I think it's part of the description

[glad cradle]

!d discord.Embed

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed

class discord.Embed(*, colour=None, color=None, title=None, type='rich', url=None, description=None, timestamp=None)```
Represents a Discord embed...

[glad cradle]

if you pass title and url the title will get a hyperlink to the url

@last cradle

[last cradle]

it is a title but okay

[scarlet tiger]

It is not the title as it is not larger, the title has a larger font than the description and other embed fields.

[last cradle]

🙈

[vague moon]

Hello,I made a discord bot in python and I want to host it with a free how,does someone know a free hosting for discord bot?

[viscid hornet]

!hosting

[unkempt canyon]

Discord Bot Hosting

Using free hosting options like repl.it for continuous 24/7 bot hosting is strongly discouraged.
Instead, opt for a virtual private server (VPS) or use your own spare hardware if you'd rather not pay for hosting.

See our Discord Bot Hosting Guide on our website that compares many hosting providers, both free and paid.

You may also use #965291480992321536 to discuss different discord bot hosting options.

[young dagger]

I would invest in a basic VPS for around $5 a month

But that's just me, because I wouldn't trust a free VPS

[woeful sparrow]

can I have one link button that when someone presses this button, the embed's footer changes?

[viscid hornet]

no

URL buttons don't have a callback (i think)

the callback is pre-defined by discord

[viscid hornet]

why? whats your use case?

[woeful sparrow]

I want when someone sends an mp3 file, my bot to download it, upload it to my database and give a link to the user so that he can download the file, and I want to put the link to a button, and when someone presses this button, after the user presses it, the footer of the embed where the button is, changes and says how many times the button has been pressed

[viscid hornet]

"I want when someone sends an mp3 file ... give a link to the user so [they] can download it"

what?

they already have the file

and discord already lets you send files

this would make sense if it was a pastebin, not if it was discord

[woeful sparrow]

it's for a server with unreleased songs that in the past they had a term and their server shut down because of the songs and so it's a way that their server won't be termed

[tall furnace]

@bot.command()
async def testing(ctx):
def check(message):
return message.author == ctx.author and message.channel == ctx.channel
await ctx.send("What would you like capitalized?"),
msg = await bot.wait_for('message', check=check)

await ctx.send(msg.content.upper)

this line of code made my bot reply with:
D_CordBotAlpha
APP
— Today at 5:02 PM
<built-in method upper of str object at 0x000001703168F7E0>

[woeful sparrow]

to be honest I'm just looking for a way to test it, I don't intend to run it on a bot, I just saw it on another server and I liked it

[wanton current]

you need to call upper since it is a method

[woeful sparrow]

await ctx.send(msg.content.upper())```

[tall furnace]

i should have hit tab in pycharm lmao

thanks boys, i thought i gave my bot a stroke for a second

[severe sonnet]

how do i get the author id from a discord message when another person is reacting to the message?

for example, i wanna this message get my id and the reaction get the other person id

which is kinda the same person

[stark ingot]

Cached messages can be accessed with Reaction.message

[sick birch]

if it’s not cached you’ll need to do a lookup using the message id. Though I don’t know if on_reaction gets triggered for uncached messages

[stark ingot]

Otherwise you can use on_raw_reaction_add to get the raw data which includes a message ID that you can get/fetch
https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/models.html#discord.RawReactionActionEvent.message_id
-# Above link is for pycord, if you are using something else you can probably find something similar on those docs

[severe sonnet]

is that the same for discord.py?

[viscid hornet]

yeah, it should be

!d discord.Reaction.message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Reaction.message

Message this reaction is for.

[viscid hornet]

bosh

[severe sonnet]

!discord.reaction.member

[stark ingot]

It should be similar but idk for sure because I dont use discord.py

[severe sonnet]

that's strange

now i don't know which gets the member

trying to acess the reaction owner

who made the reaction

[hushed galleon]

are you using the on_reaction_add event? if so, it's the second parameter of that event which provides the user/member

[severe sonnet]

i'm using on_raw_reaction_add

[hushed galleon]

then you have to manually get/fetch the member from payload.user_id

oh right, there is payload.member as well

!d discord.RawReactionActionEvent.member

[unkempt canyon]

discord.RawReactionActionEvent.member

The member who added the reaction. Only available if event_type is REACTION_ADD and the reaction is inside a guild.

New in version 1.3.

[severe sonnet]

the problem is that i get error when i try using the payload:

which is reaction: discord.Reaction

[severe sonnet]

anyways

i just added a checker, and it was suppose to be raw version not reaction

i got the wrong relative

also, why trying to import the package it shows an error?

[slate swan]

how's your file structure

[viscid hornet]

if you're on the same level as your cwd, you don't use relative imports - you use regular imports

i'm assuming you have a database.py file inside your cwd?

[severe sonnet]

how do i get the id of my bot?

using self.client?

!d client

[blissful crane]

client.user.id

[austere musk]

Hey guys i don't know if that is a glitch with me or not but I can use my bot anywhere even if the bot not in the server so is there something to disable from portal to fix that?

[slate swan]

Change the context to just guild installation

That's a user installed app

[errant moss]

Hey! I am having a troubled related to my code...
So i am trying to send dms to multiple users but when i try to test it the bot is unable to send dms to users which i have valid id's of.

The bot is in same server as they are also ids are valid but it gives an error

User with ID [ID] not found.

[slate swan]

What is the code & user id

[errant moss]

async def send_test_dm():
    users = get_user()
    for user_id in users:
        try:
            user = await bot.fetch_user(user_id)
            if user:
                embed = discord.Embed(title="Test DM", description="This is a test DM to check if the bot can send messages.", color=0x1a52f9)
                await user.send(embed=embed)
            else:
                print(f"User with ID {user_id} is None.")
        except discord.errors.NotFound:
            print(f"User with ID {user_id} not found.")
        except Exception as e:
            print(f"An error occurred while sending DM to user {user_id}: {e}")```

here it is and the user id is mine.

def get_user():
    with open('user.json', 'r') as f:
        users = json.load(f)
    return users

also the ID are stored in a String format

[slate swan]

remove your try except and let the normal error print

[errant moss]

ok

[slate swan]

that's likely the issue

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.fetch_user

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.fetch\_user

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

[slate swan]

Expects a user ID which are integers, not strings

int(user_id)

[errant moss]

its weird but discord is not being able to find the users

the error which i am getting suggests discord is not being able to find the users

[slate swan]

print the user id, because i can fetch_user on you easily

both with string and int

[errant moss]

its kinds wierd

raise NotFound(response, data)
discord.errors.NotFound: 404 Not Found (error code: 10013): Unknown User

i even tried printing

[slate swan]

and it prints?

[errant moss]

async def send_test_dm():
    users = get_user()
    for user_id in users:
            print(f"Attempting to fetch user with ID: {user_id}")
            user = await bot.fetch_user(user_id)

[slate swan]

What does it print?

Attempting to fetch user with ID: 12648712739817328

then the error shows up

[errant moss]

.

[slate swan]

whom's id is that?

[errant moss]

mine

[slate swan]

nope

[errant moss]

@errant moss

[slate swan]

1314084551265357876

[errant moss]

i even entered it manualy

[slate swan]

12648712739817328 != 1314084551265357876

[viscid hornet]

json isnt a database

[slate swan]

Show your files, because it works fine for me tbh

[errant moss]

its kinda large... I have not arranged code in cogs

[slate swan]

vscode?

search for "12648712739817328" in all your files

you likely have that somewhere

or the user.json file is not saved properly

[errant moss]

the bot is able to get the ID.. But not able to find the user

[slate swan]

it gets the wrong id, so no

your user.json file is likely not saved properly or you're reading from the wrong file

your code gets the ID 12648712739817328 which is not your id

and not a user id at all

discord wasn't existing at that time

[errant moss]

wtf i just noticed now its fetching wrong id

[slate swan]

that id was "generated" <t:1423086088> - so not possible

[errant moss]

Wtf

i can try entering my id manualy

rather than retriving it

[slate swan]

that will work

[errant moss]

yeah it worked

12648712739817328
@slate swan but why is it fetching this id

i dont have it anywhere

[slate swan]

using vscode?

[errant moss]

i just found out🤣

[slate swan]

use the magnifying glass icon on the left (ctrl+shift+f or something like that) and search for it

[errant moss]

i had 2 json file user.json and users.json... the users.json had my id

[severe sonnet]

okay so, i need the reference in the docs about the list of those who reacted, can anyone give me an href?

[quick gust]

!d discord.Message.reactions

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.reactions

Reactions to a message. Reactions can be either custom emoji or standard unicode emoji.

[slate swan]

there you go

[quick gust]

a list of discord.Reactions to a message

[errant moss]

Thanks a lot... I was just on verge of giving up on the project xd

[severe sonnet]

thought i'm using on raw reaction add function

so it's kinda different

[quick gust]

oh then you'll have to manually form and store a list

every time a reaction is added, update the list

this seems pretty weird tho and there might be a better option for whatever your use case is

[severe sonnet]

then guess i change it to on_reaction_add, searching it here

[quick gust]

or actually

[quick gust]

just get the message using the message ID and then check this

!d discord.RawReactionActionEvent.message_id

[unkempt canyon]

discord.RawReactionActionEvent.message\_id

The message ID that got or lost a reaction.

[quick gust]

so it will be something like payload.message_id

use it to get the message

[austere musk]

I forgot about that thx brother

[severe sonnet]

okay so, which function is related to stage/voice stuff?

i need that to check how long a person was in a voice chat/stage

[sick birch]

that’s not something that’s provided to you and needs to be tracked on your end (comparing time difference between join and leave)

[severe sonnet]

how do i do that?

is there a function that checks the on joining

and on leaving?

[sick birch]

yeah, check out on_voice_state_update event.
You can tell different events apart based on the input arguments values

• A user joined a channel if before.channel is None and after.channel is not None
• A user left a channel if before.channel is not None and after.channel is None

You can obtain the current time using datetime.now() of both join and leaves, and subtract these datetimes to receive a timedelta object

[severe sonnet]

i see, also on_voice_state_update it doesn't seems to have a way to grab the user

unless

[sick birch]

member is the first argument

[severe sonnet]

thanks, also how do i convert the time to minutes or seconds?

[sick birch]

!d datetime.timedelta

[unkempt canyon]

datetime.timedelta

class datetime.timedelta(days=0, seconds=0, microseconds=0, milliseconds=0, minutes=0, hours=0, weeks=0)```
All arguments are optional and default to 0. Arguments may be integers or floats, and may be positive or negative.

Only *days*, *seconds* and *microseconds* are stored internally. Arguments are converted to those units...

[severe sonnet]

how do i grab all members that joined the voice chat?

[winter sentinel]

hello I need some help with a discord bot building like I want a discord bot that plays music,how can I script it?

[finite salmon]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html?highlight=voice#discord.VoiceChannel.members

[viscid hornet]

!d does this for you btw

[finite salmon]

love blessing my eyes by opening dpy docs

[severe sonnet]

uhhhmm, i'm using on_voice_state_update i don't know if i can do that

[viscid hornet]

there's a .channel attribute

!d discord.VoiceState.channel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.VoiceState.channel

The voice channel that the user is currently connected to. None if the user is not currently in a voice channel.

[finite salmon]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html?highlight=on_voice_state_update#discord.on_voice_state_update

on_voice_state_update takes in 3 parameter: member, before and after.

before and after are of the type discord.VoiceState (https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html?highlight=on_voice_state_update#discord.VoiceState)

If you scroll down that link you'll find the channel attribute which is of the type VoiceChannel or StageChannel (you needn't worry which type you end up getting since they both have members attribute) and thats the type which you need

youd mostly want to use the voicestate from the before argument you get which is the orignal vc which you want to get the members from

if thats what you want

[severe sonnet]

how do i check if the channel is private?

[fast osprey]

Define private. Just whether or not @everyone has view?

[severe sonnet]

i have no idea, the guy who contracted me told me to see a document i don't have acess

so i don't know what he want with private voice chat

guess i should ignore that step form the docs i received from my client

[fast osprey]

Hard to implement stuff without the requirements lol

[severe sonnet]

yeo

guess i should just ignore that part

since i have no idea what to implement

how do i check the time that two people made voice chat activities together

such as gartic phone

[viscid hornet]

!d discord.Activity

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Activity

class discord.Activity(**kwargs)```
Represents an activity in Discord.

This could be an activity such as streaming, playing, listening or watching.

For memory optimisation purposes, some activities are offered in slimmed down versions...

[viscid hornet]

i assume discord.Activity.name would have this as "Gartic Phone"

[severe sonnet]

okay next i need to know how to check when the user started an activity, not just gartic but any activity

in voice channel

thought i don't know if this fits in on_voice_state_update

[viscid hornet]

nope - it's not a voice state

[severe sonnet]

yep, then... is there another listener function related to activity?

[viscid hornet]

querying my local database for it

[severe sonnet]

uhmm, can i see an example?

[fast osprey]

There is a presence event

[viscid hornet]

oh yeah i shut my laptop so it stopped reading rows

@fast osprey i decided to search my own database with dpy's docs in it

[severe sonnet]

can you link me to it?

[fast osprey]

!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/stable/api.html#discord.Member) updates their presence.

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

[severe sonnet]

okay so, i'm lost on getting the time where the old update the member started the activity

and when they ended their activity

[fast osprey]

The event fires when they change their presence

[severe sonnet]

i see, but how do i use it? I wanna get the how many time a member was doing the activity, as well the others

[versed basalt]

im having an issue where I can integrate my bot with a server, but the bot never actually joins the server. Maybe im missing something simple since its been a while since I worked on this bot, but has anyone run into something similar?

The bot runs and doesent throw any errors at me, tried removinf the integration and readding it, made sure it had the right scopes and intents, re did token etc

it just never shows up as a user on the server

[stark ingot]

what scopes are you choosing?

[versed basalt]

applications.commands

[stark ingot]

For the bot to show in the server I belive you also need to select bot

[versed basalt]

ty i remember that process now, i knew it was something dumb on my part

yep that did it

[viscid hornet]

!d discord.Member.activity

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.activity

property activity```
Returns the primary activity the user is currently doing. Could be `None` if no activity is being done.

Note

Due to a Discord API limitation, this may be `None` if the user is listening to a song on Spotify with a title longer than 128 characters. See [GH-1738](https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/issues/1738) for more information...

[viscid hornet]

!d discord.Activity.start

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Activity.start

property start```
When the user started doing this activity in UTC, if applicable.

[viscid hornet]

!d discord.Activity.end

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Activity.end

property end```
When the user will stop doing this activity in UTC, if applicable.

[severe sonnet]

okay so, in activity is it possible to list all the participants of the activity?

[viscid hornet]

probably not

[severe sonnet]

it's because i'm working on a collective point gaining system

all those that was in the activity gains points

[viscid hornet]

i doubt this is possible

[versed basalt]

my bot no longer has the "supports slash commands" badge, and slash commands are not showing up. Are these things correlated or coincidental?

this is a "new" bot using code of mine that has previousley worked fine.

[stark ingot]

Make sure you sync the commands and then use ctrl+r to refresh your discord.
Also I believe that the commands need to be global for your bot to get the badge

[shut zenith]

Can sb help me to connect my bot?

I can't connect it to my server for sum reason

[scarlet tiger]

No one will help you if you don't give more details or the code

[shut zenith]

one sec

[shut zenith]

and it's not working

[quick gust]

explain not working

what's the error

[viscid hornet]

what does "its not working" mean to you

[winter sentinel]

guys can someone give me a script for a discord bot that plays music on a vc?

[wanton current]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/basic_voice.py

[winter sentinel]

ty

[stark ingot]

Only use that example if you want to use discord.py though. Also make sure you are following discord TOS when playing the music

[winter sentinel]

alright

i will make sure to follow the steps carefully

[drifting arrow]

This is not what you want to see when you're setting up a new repo for a discordbot XD

[full ether]

better than your token getting leaked and not knowing about, tbf

[drifting arrow]

true true

turns out I forgot to delete my zip file before uploading my repo lol

Anyway https://github.com/Gnomeslayer/GnomeslayersTickets2 :D

I shared this a while ago, but i've been tweaking it and fixing bugs here and there

What originally turned out to be a quick 5 minute job, in and out. turned out to be like several days lol

[shut zenith]

I can't connect

[drifting arrow]

So what ya'll working on

[shut zenith]

Do ur guys use replit or?

[fast osprey]

replit is an environment for prototyping small sites. Not for hosting long-living processes.

[shut zenith]

Oh ok

Wat should I use for the bot?

[fast osprey]

!hosting

[unkempt canyon]

Discord Bot Hosting

Using free hosting options like repl.it for continuous 24/7 bot hosting is strongly discouraged.
Instead, opt for a virtual private server (VPS) or use your own spare hardware if you'd rather not pay for hosting.

See our Discord Bot Hosting Guide on our website that compares many hosting providers, both free and paid.

You may also use #965291480992321536 to discuss different discord bot hosting options.

[stark ingot]

If you are trying to run your bot on replit you are probably getting an error. It seems replits certs have expired based on reports in another server.

[shut zenith]

Thx

So what else can I use

[stark ingot]

For coding or hosting?

[fast osprey]

^

[shut zenith]

ya like for the bot

[stark ingot]

For coding or hosting though
Coding is where you type the code and run it to test and make sure it works
Hosting is where you run it 24/7
-# This is a very simplified definition

[shut zenith]

Oh ic

Like for coding?

sry Im not very good at this

[stark ingot]

Replit is fine when it is working and not broken.
If you have a computer you can install an IDE, some of the most popular IDEs for python are Thonny, Pycharm, and VS Code

[shut zenith]

My computer has no space left😭

Too much stuffs for skl

Is there like a template for something that I can use for the bot?

[stark ingot]

You tecnically do not have to use an IDE but it makes things easier.
You can also use notepad or notepad++

[stark ingot]

It depends on what library you are using
It is also recommened to have a strong understanding of the python basics before making a discord but, but that is up to you.

[shut zenith]

Im not so good at python tho🥲

[stark ingot]

Yeah discord bots are not a beginner project, but we wont stop you from doing it.
You could start with a few smaller projects and work your way up to discord bot.

[shut zenith]

👍

[drifting arrow]

There are probably free bot hosting websites out there, but they're free for a reason.
Most bot hosting websites will charge you around $5 USD (i think?) a month to host your bot and they usually have 24/7 uptime.
I find it affordable if you wanna run bots on small groups of servers etc. They aren't meant to be powerful but if you're popular enough you can afford a better hosting, at which point you'll move from the general pterodactyl hosting services you find around to a more dedicated machine which can cost a bit more

This is just from my personal experience and what I've seen people do.

[fast osprey]

IMO, anything that markets itself as a "bot host" is scamming you. There's no such thing as a bot host. There's just machines. Anyone trying to sell you that (free or otherwise) is trying to take advantage of lack of experience.

Industry recognized, legitimate hosts will give you a box and let you do whatever you want with it. Small ones can run cheap, but none will be free forever unless there's a catch

[drifting arrow]

Most people just want to upload the code. Click a button. and see har har funny bot things.

[fast osprey]

Oh for just coding environments they're a dime a dozen

pythonanywhere, etc etc

[drifting arrow]

You get what you pay for, and for what you mentioned "give you a box", do you honestly think you're getting that for 5 bucks a month?

[fast osprey]

Yes? I have a hetzner cloud vps for less than 5 euro a month

[shut zenith]

Ic

Thx

[drifting arrow]

alright mr "i did my research"

:(

[fast osprey]

[drifting arrow]

Some of us just googled "bot hosting" and clicked the first link

[fast osprey]

With hosting there's not a singular correct answer. But the ratio of self-marketed "bot hosts" I've seen that are either a) overcharging or b) literally a honeypot scam to get your token is in the high 90%'s

[drifting arrow]

Oh, the ones I use are legitimate services. In fact there's a really good Australian one I use who has been incredibly responsive whenever I needed help adjusting. He doesnt host just bots he also hosts games as well. And it's awesome.

I won't give the name because I dont wanna "advertise" but I can if u dm me.

I believe he's Australian.

idk. I wanna believe he is.

[shut zenith]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/BVQQ

Can sb help me check whats going on pls

[fast osprey]

Don't put your token into files you send to people, or remove it before sending

also code you sent doesn't match the error

[shut zenith]

Oh oh sorry I generated a new one

[shut zenith]

That's what happened Im not sure why

How do u read the codes so fast

But it is in str tho

[fast osprey]

error doesn't lie

Maybe you're not running the code you think you are

[shut zenith]

?

[fast osprey]

your traceback clearly has a line that's literally client.run(token). That's the code it's running

if the code you're looking at doesn't have that exact line, then you're not running the code you're looking at

[shut zenith]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/JI7A

Can u pls help me double check?

[fast osprey]

token is none

[shut zenith]

But didn't I set token = os.getenv("My_Token")?

[fast osprey]

That doesn't mean it's not None

[shut zenith]

Im not sure wdym by None then😭

[fast osprey]

If you don't know what None is, then you might want to do simpler projects to learn

[shut zenith]

Do u know how can I fix it?

[fast osprey]

By learning what None is

[shut zenith]

What are some simpler projects

[fast osprey]

Basic coding challenges to start with. It really depends on how you learn. But things like a bot layer on several concepts and you're trying to learn all of them at once

[young dagger]

Did you create an env file with My_Token = TOKEN_HERE?

token is a variable used in client.run(token)

Which should be in the env file

[drifting arrow]

None is none. basic human english

[shut zenith]

Thx for helping

[shut zenith]

bruh

[glad cradle]

the concept of None (null, void etc... may be strange for new coders)

[viscid hornet]

is there any way i can upscale the resolution of my 16x16 pixel art?

[slate swan]

have the pixel art not be 16x16?

[viscid hornet]

sorry man, it's just what i got

[slate swan]

then, unfortunate

[viscid hornet]

[pallid plank]

I mean you can upscale it

Make a 160x160 photo where each pixel from the 16x16 is 10 pixels wide

Or something like that

[slate swan]

that pic is blurry indicating some linearity or anti-aliasing filters... you can definitely upscale any pixelate arts like that to any resolution as what EasternFarmer said try upscaling using any image processing software you have or whatever tool or method you use and then implement the image without the aforementioned filters search for some parameter like "Nearest", "Sharp" or "Point-sampling"

[viscid hornet]

what software do you suggest?

[slate swan]

anything really maybe pixelart, gimp or adobe photoshop

[viscid hornet]

anything programmatic?

[slate swan]

only check for putting image filter as "Nearest", "Sharp" or "Point-sampling" see what option you might get, also check if you can use pillow module for implementing the image in your bot code

are you being rate-limited on discord operations or something else?

[broken folio]

yes, the bot wont start, right when i run my python file it already says ratelimited, please wait 60 seconds, goes on for like 5 mins saying the same msg and then just stops & never starts

[slate swan]

send the traceback please

[broken folio]

there's no error

the bot starts sending member avatar updates in servers right when i run it (without being ready) & also does slash-commands

and the output?

[broken folio]

i tried making the member avatar updates by setting a cooldown for each channel but, no luck

[slate swan]

could you send the snippet that you think is doing this?

don't send the full code

[broken folio]

i have noo idea what is happening

there are like 6 slash commands & etc, idk what's causing it

but the bot has gone bigger and i think something is up

[slate swan]

must be before the on_ready function

[fast osprey]

"It says already ratelimited" what is "it" and what precisely is it saying

[broken folio]

user avatar updates are done without it being on_ready, slash commands are used before it starts too

[slate swan]

try waiting for that period of time, also, you mentioned that your file is 2k lines big, why not use cogs? (aka separate files for each command)

waiting does not help, it goes for like 5 minutes and then stops trying

Reeks of backdooring

[hollow belfry]

this my first time

im so confused

[fast osprey]

discord is not a default module installed in the standard library. You need to install it

[vital yoke]

I want to make a bot that posts a message to bunch of channels across several servers with a role ping (Basically a new bot.) Server admins can add the bot and subscribe a channel to the bot in the specified channel with the role id to ping. I'm wondering which would be better in terms of API rate limits: have the bot send the message directly or have the bot make a webhook and then use the webhook?

[fast osprey]

webhooks

[vital yoke]

Is there a ratelimit for all discord webhooks by one ip I should be aware of?

[fast osprey]

Are you sharing that ip with someone?

[vital yoke]

Idk if it's a dedicated host or not, I assume it's shared

Could be wrong

[fast osprey]

It's about the ip, not the host itself

if randos are using the same ip, then you need to get off that host if you want your stuff to work reliably

[vital yoke]

I think it's a dedicated IP as the bot has never had issues before

[fast osprey]

Things not breaking before doesn't mean it's right

Just takes one idiot rando to spam discord on that ip to bring you down as well

The hosting service should be pretty clear about this

[stark ingot]

Is the reason announcement channels dont work is because you want the role ping?

[scenic pike]

Is possible to make custom status without activity?

[stark ingot]

Yeah, you just cant use the discord emoji field, only unicode emojis

How you do this might depend on the library you use

[timber dragon]

It should just be as simple as activity = discord.CustomActivity(name=...) in dpy and forks

[scenic pike]

Ty friends

[slate swan]

pip install discord.py first

[stark ingot]

Only if they want to use discord.py, it is not the default that everyone should use.
Also btw they got there problem solved in another channel

[slate swan]

ah alr then

[flint quest]

Let’s say I wanna create a discord bot but it should also save data to a DB and then I also want frontend made in JS with something like Next.js as framework and shadcn/ui as UI library because it looks nice, how would these even communicate with the discord bot?

I don’t want help with the code but more just a roadmap like what i need to implement e.g. if i make a file named bot.py for the bot and server.py for maybe fastapi and then how to port it to the frontend

[fast osprey]

It really depends what this front end materially does

[flint quest]

Well it’s really just for stats

Like the data collected with the discord bot might just be how many times a specific slash commands has been executed in the past 24 hours and then that’s gets saved to a relational db and the frontend just reads from that i guess

But if I have a function defined that fetches let’s say an API endpoint and checks if it is alive for like random quotes and so on, i want that functionality on the frontend to show

This wouldn’t be ideal with a db

[fast osprey]

what is fetching from the api? The bot, or this frontend?

[flint quest]

I’m gonna try to word it better.

A discord bot has a slash command that will monitor an API endpoint and check to see if it’s alive, let’s say it does this every 300 seconds, basically once it’s ran it should return a status or boolean indicating it’s up and I want my frontend to take use of that return value.

[fast osprey]

and why wouldn't a database work here?

[flint quest]

Though I have no idea how to access it from the frontend, maybe this value can be saved to a relational db like sqlite and then read, but this wouldn’t be ideal if there are a lot of entries I would like to believe, and with that I mean around 1000 entries a day, instead I thought of either IPC or a FastAPI server that gets access to those statuses somehow.

[flint quest]

I’m just assuming it’s not ideal to write and read from a db every 300 seconds and sometimes it’s not exactly 300 seconds all these API endpoints may have been monitored at different times so it could read/write every 5 seconds or so

[fast osprey]

That's an insanely insignificant scale for what sqlite even handles

Generally I strongly recommend going with the simplest approach. If you overoptimize for scale you don't have (and don't even anticipate having), you're going to make unnecessarily heavy solutions

Polling a db at that scale is completely fine

[sick birch]

even lightweight databases like sqlite are rated for thousands of reads and writes per second, once every 300 seconds is pretty much nothing

[flint quest]

Oh ok, well in that case that might just be the option, to use discord.py for the bot which is the backend and that will write results/statistics to the database and then next js for the frontend which will read the database and display them nicely on the frontend dashboard for the bot

FastAPI wouldn’t even be needed with this approach

[sick birch]

it might be better design to have a single source of truth, a fastapi app for both reading and writing statistics

that way you won't have duplicated schemas on your nextjs backend and the discord bot, both accessing the database

[flint quest]

so it would be the discord bot with the slash command let’s call that file bot.py and then a fastapi app let’s call that server.py and the bot should just send a request to the fastapi endpoint that handles this and then the fastapi will store the info in the db and will also have routes for reading data with different filtering options and the next js app just requests those fastapi endpoints for reading data (or maybe also write data)

[fast osprey]

Which of those two processes does specific things is up to you. But probably the most meaningful choice here is make sure that you are running these in two separate processes

[flint quest]

yeah well i will need to run the bot, fastapi app and next js separately so i guess i should be fine

Honestly i’ll try my best and then ask for further help but now that I have a plan i’m gonna have to experiment a lot and do some trial and error

So thanks for the help, i finally have a project structure to follow.

[fast osprey]

At some scale you might want to consider message queues or sockets or something, or just to do it out of curiosity. But IMO this is a fine start and is like 99% likely to be totally functional for what you're trying to do

[sick birch]

bot and fastapi app can run on the same host. vercel for next.js and your database

[thorn imp]

Anyone know how access this because in the discord python library i can't find it
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/

[thorn imp]

I trying get the example so i know how to use the code correctly but i can't find it

[blissful crane]

can't find what?

[thorn imp]

I need a example like this or else i can't correctly learn the code block do

[thorn imp]

But the example i can't find it

[blissful crane]

they don't often have examples

[fast osprey]

It's also not clear what you're even trying to do

[thorn imp]

Sorry my english IS VERY SHITTTY*

[thorn imp]

So could i how use the code block when i don't understand how use it

[blissful crane]

you don't need an example to learn how to use the function, the docs are good enough

[thorn imp]

Well i'm new to python discord library, i still trying understand the basic

[scarlet tiger]

What do you want to do?

[thorn imp]

I just wanna know how python discord library work and to understand how code block work too because is confusing

[scarlet tiger]

You can't understand the documentation?

[thorn imp]

Like opening a example
One fo my friends said you can open the code block and see a example ho wot use it

[scarlet tiger]

Hmm discord.py I think it doesn't have a guide for new users, if you can't understand how it works you can change to another library that has better help for you

[thorn imp]

What library should i use?

[scarlet tiger]

Mmm py-cord has an excellent guide, I learned very well from it, do you want the link?

[thorn imp]

Sure send it in my dms!

[scarlet tiger]

sure

[woeful hill]

discord.py also have example codes

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/tree/master/examples

[thorn imp]

Thank you, that what i was looking for

[shrewd apex]

https://fallendeity.github.io/discord.py-masterclass/ also a detailed guide and tutorial on discord.py

[thorn imp]

Thank you, i will have it save

Will be very helpfull

[flint quest]

I mean running the files separately, I have the bot functionality and setup in one file and the fastapi in another

I will have to run both separately e.g.:
python bot.py
python api.py

[sick birch]

right, in different processes

the way I'd do it is make a container for each, put them in docker-compoes and just run docker compose up

[flint quest]

So it runs directly both of them?

Instead of having to open two terminal windows and run them that way

[sick birch]

yes

[flint quest]

Yeah that sounds good

[sick birch]

you'll still want two terminal windows if you want to look at both of their logs at the same time. but if you don't it can run in the background if you use docker compose up -d

[bright oasis]

Hi everyone I have a problem with my .env file with the variable the terminal the variable cannot be found

[viscid hornet]

your variable name is most likely wrong then

[slate swan]

@proud vector

[proud vector]

copy the command you ran and the full output, and put it in a pastebin, ask in #python-discussion . This isn't about discord bots.

[frank osprey]

ah guy quick question how to i move from py-cord to discord.py ?

is it as simple as "pip uninstall py-cord then doing dis.py ?
