[west hare]

so this is not that simple

slash commands have limitations

[fast osprey]

Like?

[west hare]

there is a lot

you can't have properly formatted fields and validation beside basic ones

there is limit to their amount which require me to split settings into multiple commands

you can't really style it as well in which case some forms look ugly using only available components

[fast osprey]

If you're set on doing this with a web server then this is your simplest option. But you're sacrificing a ton of dev time for this control on the ux

Arguably for a more disjointed user experience too

[west hare]

I already did sacrifice more doing it Discord way

like generating staff on image

which would be way simpler to do in webpage with some div's

but my primary need is forms

[fast osprey]

Modals exist

[west hare]

for example I have a lot of 3-bool states which you can't do at all in Discord (the only way is to use Select)

but on form wise it would be just like Discord permission toggle (X, /, V)

-# this

[fast osprey]

Then use a select?

[west hare]

you can't have range slider as well

yeh? the problem is there is a lot of them that I need. in one page I can fit them all, in Discord command only one by one

[fast osprey]

You can send a components v2 "panel" with plenty

[west hare]

there is not much that can fit, I tried that

you just hard hit components limit quickly

anyway, I don't really want to rant about it, I didn't come here for this

[fast osprey]

At some point it's not a problem with the system's limits, it's a problem with your application sprawling to absurdity

Is a user actually going to care about hundreds of options when they don't fit into a digestible form

[west hare]

they don't fall under one category, some are for moderation, other for logging, and other categories...

[fast osprey]

You can likewise segment how you present things to users. I'm not going to argue with you, but I'll give you advice that it's a bad idea to invest your time building the most complicated solution to solve problems you don't actually have, especially when you don't materially have users complaining and it's just your own opinions on ux in a vacuum

If you spend days building this web server and your users just say "why isn't this in discord like everything else", that won't be a good feeling

[faint basin]

hi

@bot.command ()
@commands.cooldown(1, 7, commands.BucketType.user)
@commands.has_permissions(manage_messages=True)
async def slowmode (ctx, seconds: int = 0, channel: discord.TextChannel = None):
    channel = channel or ctx.channel
    s = seconds
    
    if s > 120:
        embed = discord.Embed(description=f"{ctx.author.mention}: Slowdown **can not** be over 2 minutes!", color=0xA4C4FF)
        embed.set_footer(text=ctx.author.name, icon_url=ctx.author.display_avatar.url)
        return await ctx.send(embed=embed)
        
    elif s == 0:
        await channel.edit(slowmode_delay=s)
        await ctx.send(embed=discord.Embed(title="{{ +     Slowmode   +  }}", description=f"{ctx.author.mention}: Slowmode is now **disabled**", color=0x000001))
    else:
            await channel.edit(slowmode_delay=s)
            await ctx.message.add_reaction("⚖️")

how can I improve this

[fast osprey]

What's not good about it?

One thing to consider is making this a slash command instead, then you get the benefit of a built in range and channel selector

[faint basin]

alr

[finite salmon]

you can use enums.IntEnum to store the embed's colour value and pass that instead of hardcoding hexvalues and magic numbers. That gives you some context on what colour it's supposed to be. You could even use discord.Colour class to get some colours from the library

and also use a fixed number of indentation everywhere in your code

and the fact that you did s = seconds is wild

bros so lazy to type 6 more letter

[finite salmon]

you can also type hint the ctx parameter too, idk why you left that out. It's discord.ext.commands.Context

[burnt quiver]

in official examples ctx is not type hinted

so naturally people tend to leave it out too

[finite salmon]

oh.. why is that?

[burnt quiver]

unlike discord.Member or discord.TextChannel, it's not a convertor, so the behaviour of the command doesn't change if you don't type hint ctx, I think at least

[finite salmon]

i see

[fast osprey]

yeah it's purely a type checker thing

[gritty inlet]

Is there ever more than one MessageSnapshot object in message_snapshots

hm

[timber dragon]

API returns an array, so we should handle it as that

[timber dragon]

Oh til

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

[high kite]

Check my Github on profile.

You might have to make some changes but ye

[cobalt meadow]

Is v2 components available for .py? If yes please provide the github link

[burnt quiver]

You were answered there no?

!d discord.ui.LayoutView

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.LayoutView

class discord.ui.LayoutView(*, timeout=180.0)```
Represents a layout view for components.

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

This differs from a [`View`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/interactions/api.html#discord.ui.View) in that it supports all component types and uses what Discord refers to as “v2 components”...

hey guys

    except Exception:
            await ctx.message.add_reaction("🤷‍♂️")

[fast osprey]

Is there a question?

[mellow charm]

how can i improve this

[fast osprey]

I don't recommend reimplementing things people can already easily do natively on the client

[finite salmon]

you had asked the same question long ago for a different piece of code, and seems like you took none of my suggestions

[fast osprey]

Other things to consider are

• using an error handler rather than these blanket try/except clauses in every command, and giving useful output rather than a react
• using slash commands so the experience is more railed and you don't have to validate user input

[verbal island]

I'm hosting my discord bot on android using termux. But when my bot isn't even running on termux why does it stay online? Like for the past few days i want it to go offline but it never goes. All the commands work and everything.

Is there a way to check where my bot is hosted from? I don't remember hosting it any other place than termux (asking cause i might've done something while i was drunk or something)

[fast osprey]

Not sure what you're expecting here

It's not like a connected bot also gives some human readable "place" name to discord

iirc cycling the token may force a disconnect

[verbal island]

I'm just wondering why my bot is even online (connected) when i'm not even running it

[fast osprey]

Though I'd recommend implementing an owner only command that gives you whatever info you'd want from the host and/or trigger a shutdown

[verbal island]

So you mean a command that shuts down the whole bot and need to be manually rehosted?

[fast osprey]

Or restart, or whatever you found useful

[verbal island]

Also, what do you mean by info from the host?

[fast osprey]

Whatever you find useful

All discord sees is a process opening a web socket from some IP, and I'm pretty sure they don't expose that IP anywhere. Anything you want to know about that process needs to be implemented by you

[verbal island]

@bot.command()
@commands.is_owner() 
async def shutdown(ctx):
    
    print("Shutting down bot...")
    await ctx.send("Shutting down...")
    await bot.close()
    print("Done")

After using this command, the bot is still online. I wonder why

[fast osprey]

Could be that whatever is connected isnt running that code

[fast osprey]

^

[verbal island]

How?

How do i

[fast osprey]

In the developer portal

[fast osprey]

This also doesn't match the code you sent. There's no embed here

[verbal island]

That wasn’t included in the code i sent

[fast osprey]

You should send the actual code you're running

In all cases

[verbal island]

!paste

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.

[verbal island]

I don't think its something with my code

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/TCIQ

[fast osprey]

This still doesn't send that embed

[verbal island]

Well, its a disconnection function

[fast osprey]

What is a "disconnection function"

[verbal island]

Wait

@bot.event
async def on_disconnect():

    if ids.log_channel:
        embed = discord.Embed(
            title="Disconnected",
            description=f"<@{bot.user.id}> Disconnected!",
            color=0xfac85c
        )
        embed.timestamp = discord.utils.utcnow()
        await ids.log_channel.send(embed=embed)
        ```

[fast osprey]

Gotcha. Well id still suggest rotating your token, and double checking your settings like making sure you didn't set an interaction url

[timber dragon]

pretty sure on_disconnect is for shards?

same for resumed etc

you need to override the close method to do stuff

[fast osprey]

Everything is a shard soheab

[verbal island]

Shards?

Learn from YouTube and documents

[fast osprey]

youtube is populated by randos making shit up in their basement for internet points. There's no quality control, it's a horrible learning resource

[static shale]

Can you please help me? I watched many video on how to set-up the code for my bot but It does not want to work.

I just do not know how to set-up.

[fast osprey]

Those videos are horrible, I guarantee it

Do you have base experience with python already?

[burnt quiver]

once you see intents.all() or sync in on_ready you know it's bad

[fast osprey]

My favorite is when the Internet point farmer puts in a line of code and admits they have no idea what it does or why it's needed

[static shale]

Can someone please tell me? I do not know how to set-up my bot.

[rustic vale]

discord.py has a quick start guide which will give you the base code. You don't have to start from scratch for this.

[static shale]

Good?

[rustic vale]

You would need experience writing python code to make sense of what's going on.

´´Do your best to help askers learn. People learn best if you guide them through a solution to the problem.

[fast osprey]

I didn't accuse you of that. I asked you a pretty simple question that helps inform the answer

[static shale]

Alright, then I am sorry. I know a little about python. I just want to make a discord bot.

The set-up I used from videos are not working.

It worked months ago but it does not work now.

Just the set-up.

[fast osprey]

Video resources are not a good thing to use at all. This is the official starting point from the people who do know what they're talking about, the people who made the library. If you have questions about what's in here, you're welcome to ask for clarification

depending on what level of python experience you have, you may need to supplement more in order to use these concepts

[static shale]

The thing is that the set-up from that website is not working.

[fast osprey]

how is it not working?

[static shale]

Wait for a second please. I might have not seen smth.

🙂

Do I need to install virtual environments?

[fast osprey]

virtual environments are recommended but not required

[static shale]

Alright, so now.

I will send a screenshot here.

nvm

When I turn on my bot it shuts down immediately.

I use VS

[fast osprey]

if this is your code exactly, you should be getting an error (and the linked example has a few key differences)

[fast osprey]

I'd recommend reading through this example and understanding why it does each line. They're all important and you've omitted some

[static shale]

I did everything.

[fast osprey]

you did not

[fast osprey]

again. Do not use youtube

[static shale]

Alright, I just need to set-up.

I coppied the code from the website.

And then it did not work.

Also can I delete the .env?

[fast osprey]

There's no @ in the last line of the example

How can I make the event*** on_disconnect ***actually work?

[fast osprey]

Maybe on_close

should work

Not working

nah

It is not working.

[fast osprey]

how is the bot disconnecting?

also on_close isn't an event

[static shale]

doesnt show me any error

[fast osprey]

well it won't error

it'll just attach a listener to an event that never happens

[static shale]

I just shut it down

[fast osprey]

well if you turn the bot off, how would it send a message?

[static shale]

Right.....

Can It disconnect by itself?

[fast osprey]

yeah if you call .close() on the bot that's a "graceful" disconnection

[static shale]

I wont use that event. I dont need it now.

[heavy palm]

making my own AI for my discord bot

[timber dragon]

Nice! Just hoping it doesn't train* on Discord data, as that's not allowed.

[fast osprey]

train

[heavy palm]

Is taking words the user inputs into the bot legal?

I use that feature to learn new words

[fast osprey]

Please read the developer policy

The one you agreed to

https://support-dev.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/8563934450327-Discord-Developer-Policy (point 21 is the relevant one here)

So technically it depends on what you mean by input

[timber dragon]

Hmm its a bit vage

[stark ingot]

I swear this used to say API data not message content

[fast osprey]

It would be fine by the letter of the policy if it just trained off of like slash command or modal inputs (and the bot described in its privacy policy that is what it was doing). But the whole point of LLM's is that they need huge datasets and ain't nobody providing all that through slash commands

[fast osprey]

Iirc the AI clause was always about message content, the API data bit pertains to third parties which is very frequently overlapping but not always

@bot.slash_command(name="show-bal",)
async def show_bal(
    ctx: discord.ApplicationContext,

how can you pass the guilds users in discord.Option if you can't acess any ctx before the user sends the command ?

solution: you can just pass in discord.Member as an argument an it will show the users in the preview
user: discord.Option(discord.Member,description="Select a Member")

[indigo cipher]

Why is discord api python so much harder than node

[halcyon plover]

fr like where even is this even written in the docs 😭

[indigo cipher]

Im only doing a bot bc im bored asf

Idk what else to make

[halcyon plover]

sameee

[halcyon plover]

I really wanna get into PyQt but I don't know what to make and I don't wanna read even more docs 😭

[indigo cipher]

😂

[indigo cipher]

Gone as far as to make a calculator bc im bored

[halcyon plover]

I'm working on a banking system but I already made something similiar with tkinter a while ago so yea my creativity isn't the best rn as well

[indigo cipher]

What so like

!bank bal/balance
!bank deposit <amount>
!bank withdraw <amount>
!bank transactions 0/10 latest transactions

[halcyon plover]

yea something like that

[indigo cipher]

Ah alr

[halcyon plover]

are you using pycord or discord.py ? or do you just not like slash commands

[indigo cipher]

discord.py

[halcyon plover]

ohhh

bad news

[indigo cipher]

Wut

[halcyon plover]

it's absolutely awful

like the worst thing I have ever seen

[indigo cipher]

Ive always used it...

😭

[finite salmon]

Why?

[halcyon plover]

same I just changed for this project

[indigo cipher]

Should i be using pycord?

[finite salmon]

Use what you're comfortable with

[indigo cipher]

I wana try it now 😭

[halcyon plover]

I don't like the docs and they make it sooo hard to make slash commands

[finite salmon]

You can try pycord and give it a feel, if you like it, use that

Don't use it because some random dude doesn't like dpy

[indigo cipher]

Do u use it?

[halcyon plover]

but the rest is quite similair apart from the fact that I never understood when to use client and when bot

[finite salmon]

Yeah the entry level may not be so friendly but there are guides out there that cover it pretty well. Once you understand it, it's not that hard.

And the docs aren't that bad really

[finite salmon]

I used to use pycord for a long time then I switched to discord.py when I joined a team

They both have very different structure when it comes to slash commands, personally I like pycords slash commands but dpy is better in api coverage and stuff. Its usually dpy that rolls out updates faster than other wrappers

[finite salmon]

Client is for lower level stuff and doesn't have a lot of features in it and Bot is the opposite

[halcyon plover]

oh ty, so does client have any benefits over bot ?

[finite salmon]

When you want to implement custom methods related to the client

Other than that no

If you don't know what you're doing, then just stick to Bot

[indigo cipher]

@finite salmon am i missing smth..?

NVMM IM SPECIAL

[halcyon plover]

but it's less writing and more lazy 😔 🙂‍↕️

[lime meadow]

I have the members intent and all members cached, but I still don't receive on_user_update or on_member_update

[fast osprey]

Code?

[finite salmon]

have you enabled it in the dev portal and in your code?

[fast osprey]

They wouldn't have cache populated if they didn't

[lime meadow]

Yes

[lime meadow]

I don't think so, there's already a lot going on

But I have the members intent and I use chunk() in all guilds

[fast osprey]

No I was asking for you to share your code lol

We can't mind read what the problem is

[lime meadow]

Okay, but I'm not really sure what to share, maybe just this:

        intents = discord.Intents(
            messages=True, message_content=True, guilds=True, members=True
        )```

```python
        @commands.Cog.listener()
        async def on_user_update(self, before, after):
            print("on_user_update")```

[fast osprey]

Share all of it, using a paste service if needed

Any number of other things could interfere or overwrite that listener (if it's being loaded at all)

Ugh lemme look up what it was

But one way to narrow this down is to just do an @bot.listen right next to where your bot object is made to see if the event isn't firing or if this specific listener isn't being registered

[lime meadow]

But all the other events are working on the same Cog, only this one isn't

My code doesn't modify the cache or anything internal

I don't think there's any obvious reason

[fast osprey]

Then share the code

And also describe what you're doing that you think should trigger this

[gritty inlet]

Could you show the Bot definition

[manic gull]

YO

can anyone help me make a discord bot that can look at images and give me the numbers that are in the image?

[fast osprey]

what have you tried and where are you stuck

[manic gull]

i tried chatgpt and it dont work

[fast osprey]

you shouldn't ever use chatgpt for this. It makes shit up and it's very very wrong constantly

I suggest breaking this down into individual tasks and figuring out where you get stuck

[stark ingot]

Have you looked into OCR? That is the starting point for this project

[manic gull]

i cant code at all

[fast osprey]

Well that's the first thing to work on

Your options are

• pay someone to make it for you
• learn
• continue having chatgpt lie to you

[manic gull]

anyone make me it for free

please

[fast osprey]

can you come mow my lawn for free?

[manic gull]

yea

[fast osprey]

Then you can make some money and pay someone

[manic gull]

but im mowin it for free

There are free bots that do this already. Not sure what they are tho, just know they exist.

Hii i need a little help for music bot

I am using ffmpeg , youtube cookies to play music , Quality is good but on the sam etime song is not starting from 0:00 its starts from mid way , there are some error which I am not able to identify what it is

and its my first time making music bot it making mess a lot

[fast osprey]

Playing music you don't have the rights to violates copyright law and youtube tos (and by extension discord tos)

[gritty inlet]

If I'm being honest ChatGPT did make some good OCR code for me back in the day

But meh, it's very easy if you're using an API. Local gets a bit more complicated

[lime meadow]

We really can't judge the problem before we figure it out... it was a ridiculous problem, it was happening because the listener was inside another listener...

and what does that have to do with discord bots or with python

[brazen raft]

Suggestion: Post that in an off topic channel or explain how it's related to Discord bots

[analog salmon]

Guys which library should I learn to build discord bots

[timber dragon]

None

Learn a language and then find a library for it or do it yourself

[manic gull]

what are the names?

Oh

[rapid knoll]

Hi, im new to app_commands and commands.Cog, I write this code and I've checked it three times now, could somebody tell me please why the commands /invite and /mytime aren't appearing in the guild?

bot.py is the main file & core.py is from cogs/core.py. any help is appreciated :3

[unkempt canyon]

Click here to see this code in our pastebin.

[fast osprey]

You're declaring global commands but syncing on a guild

[rapid knoll]

ah now that makes sense

wait how do I make them non global?

[fast osprey]

Is your bot in multiple guilds and you want these commands to only be in one specifically? If not, I suggest you just make the commands global

[rapid knoll]

The bot is just in one guild

[fast osprey]

then it really doesn't matter if you make the commands global or not unless you have plans for that to change

The simplest answer is to just remove the guild you're passing into sync()

[rapid knoll]

Doesnt that mean that it takes like 1 hour or something to update?

[fast osprey]

Nope. That info is multiple years outdated

[rapid knoll]

Oh damn

[fast osprey]

it's essentially instant, though you may have to refresh your local discord client to see it (since your local client caches commands)

[rapid knoll]

Ah that makes a lot of sense

Thats man your a legend

[twin ledge]

i just need help

making one

cause i cant get python on my device

Why not?

[twin ledge]

im on chromeOS

[fast osprey]

How do you plan to keep the bot running?

[twin ledge]

wdym

isnt it always running

[fast osprey]

It doesn't just run on magic in the ether

It's a process that has to run on a machine somewhere

(That the developer is responsible for providing and maintaining)

[twin ledge]

oh

[fast osprey]

So either a machine you own personally or one you rent (a VPS)

If this is not a school or work device you can enable the Linux environment and use python from there
https://discuss.python.org/t/downloading-python-on-chromebook/28199

If it is a school device you can use an online code editor (people say Google collab is good) but for more compute intensive projects you may need to find a different device to host the bot on.

[past pewter]

Hi guys. You know how we can use requests to send discord msg with auth token. Is there anyway we can do the same for interactions with message button components?

[stark ingot]

Can you elaborate a little bit? Do you want to send a message on a button click?

It sounds like you are talking about an OAuth token but I don't believe you can send messages via that token

[gritty inlet]

Most definitely just talking about the bot token

[frank parcel]

am im dum or smth wasnt doin stuff like this in ages and idk whats wrong

need to dnwload this for one command

[timber dragon]

Exit out of the repl

Ctrl z or some other combos

[gritty inlet]

or exit()

[frank parcel]

well im usin cdm for it since i wrte everything in idle shell xd

[gritty inlet]

You must've somehow opened the Python REPL

You need to opt out of it

[frank parcel]

aah

nwm made it work

hopefullu the command will work

bruuh just did this for nothin xd

[gritty inlet]

Does it not work

[frank parcel]

i mean the command does work but just now realised that i did smth i didnt need

since i need one that could change lang of my bot from polih to english cuz like 90% of bot is in polish

[gritty inlet]

Recommendation: if you ever want to support multiple languages on your bot, you can make the bot's commands on the command menu be auto translated based on the user's locale, there's a feature for this

[frank parcel]

yeah was thinkin of just like auto translating it into english

cuz i rn i dont own any polish server so polish lang on the bot is useless and my english is bad so cant translate it my self

[gritty inlet]

That would only affect whatever is on the command menu (the one that opens when you type in /). For anything else you'd have to do it more manually

But Discord doesn't do the auto translation for you and you'd still have to feed it yourself

[frank parcel]

also my bot still uses prefixis xd

made him ages ago and recently went back to it

[gritty inlet]

fair enough

I think you won't regret switching to slash commands

[frank parcel]

was thinking of adding buttons that could translate stuff into set lang wich would be english or smth and see how it would work

but make it so it translate the message after i type +pomoc not the messahe "+pomoc" but the thing that will apper after i type it ik i can make the one before be translated but not the thing after i send it wich is the embed that lists commands or at least commands for other embeds with each category the commands go for

[gritty inlet]

You can make the embeds or whatever the bot sends translated if you'd like

[frank parcel]

got command for the one that translates my message with button just need to make it work on bot and not on user

cuz names of commands i can just translate my self but the other stuff not cuz would be not understndable

so far made it but the button dosent work cuz "This interaction failed"

[gritty inlet]

Did you get any errors

[frank parcel]

wait

yep

prob its issue that i got embeds

[fast osprey]

You're trying to json.loads on None

[frank parcel]

Wait so Uhh what would need to be changed?

[fast osprey]

look at what you're passing into json.loads. Figure out why it's None

[frank parcel]

ok

[past pewter]

Sorry I went to do something. But I was watching this video on yt
https://youtu.be/DArlLAq56Mo?si=zG1aQuJRkuLGvEo_

[past pewter]

They used the token found in the header of the https request when sending a msg using discord on the browser

[stark ingot]

This videos outlines how to send a message with a user account which is considered self botting and not allowed by the TOS

[past pewter]

Hmm

[stark ingot]

You can send the same messages with a bot account as you can with a user account so there is no reason to not use a bot account

[past pewter]

Yea

Thank you

[mental gorge]

im making a discord server between my friends so we can study programming, is there any famous bot that can run codes so we can live debug together?

[fast osprey]

That's not really about bot development if you're looking for existing bots . There are plenty of bot lists out there though, it depends on what language(s) you care about

[gritty inlet]

A quick search on App Directory / Top.gg should do the work. Though personally I find a real IDE more convenient...

[last cradle]

hi

how do i go about making a modmail bot for with forum posts and not a cjannel

[stark ingot]

A modmail bot would likely not work in a forum channel. You cannot allow people to view only some threads in a forum channel. You can create a private thread in a normal channel which is similar to what you want.

[last cradle]

can a forum channel not be only private for staff members?

[stark ingot]

ah yes like that would work

what exactly are you stuck on?

[last cradle]

….

[last cradle]

how to organize lols

like what if theres multiple people using the modmail wouldnt that create a shit ton of channels or sumn

[stark ingot]

You would listen for messages in the bot DM and when one is received create a forum post. You would also need to store when a user has an "active" thread so that when they send another message it is redirected to the correct thread. Then when messages are sent in the thread you direct them to the correct user. Then you can have something that will close the "ticket" which means the next message sent in DMs will create a new thread

[last cradle]

oh oki

thz

[proud axle]

What is this channel for? I am confused.

no need to ping mods, while you can find a free host there will be (often major) drawbacks

[potent pelican]

sorry

are these free

[stark ingot]

Oracle has a free tier

[potent pelican]

could u give me the link

[stark ingot]

https://www.oracle.com/cloud/free/

[potent pelican]

ok ty

[fast osprey]

It's free* (they'll turn your resources off if you go over), has no SLA's, and also oracle is oracle

You're far better off renting a cheap vps. Your time is money, and this stuff doesn't grow on trees. Nobody is giving it to you out of the kindness of their hearts

[stark ingot]

*No company will give it out of the kindness of their hearts
Friends might (but not random people you don't know)

[fast osprey]

Good addendum, yeah some people have extra hosting power lying around

[wheat shard]

where do y'all host your discord bots dude

[grave sandal]

I'm planning to host mine on digitalocean, ovh can also be a good option.

[fast osprey]

Hetzner

[gritty inlet]

[stark ingot]

Digital Ocean. I am trying to setup localhost for my personal bots

[gleaming inlet]

Orihost

[fast osprey]

ngl everything there looks pretty scammy.

• Anything that has to market itself as as "bot host" is just preying on people who are uninformed. There's no such thing as a bot host. It's just a linux vm under the hood. That's like someone trying to sell you a "cereal spoon" and you take it because you think it'll be better for cereal.
• Anything that promises to be free forever, no strings attached with those specs isn't doing it because they're nice. At best it'll go faulty and basically force you to upgrade, at worst they're going to scam you by taking data from the machine. I couldn't find any independent security certification on their site which is a pretty bad smoking gun. If someone is selling something to you for free or cheaper than what they paid for it, it's not charity and there's a catch

[grave sandal]

I don't think the concept of a bot host is necessarily flawed, if you rent a Linux machine you probably end up paying for way more resources than you necessarily actually use for your bot, if there's a host specifically for bots then I would imagine they could probably partition or limit the resources better in theory so that you aren't paying for more than you need. But idk, I'm talking out of my ass I've never touched any of the services besides old very generic ones like replit.

[fast osprey]

There's a major difference between a reputable host selling very small or on demand vps vs a rando no name company selling "bot hosts". Someone selling a legitimate product doesnt have to dress it up with a title that doesn't exist, theyd just respect you as a customer and sell you a Linux box because that's what it is

That's not to say it couldn't exist, but there's a reason why aws/oracle/ovh/hetzner don't sell bot hosts

[grave sandal]

The concept of trusting a rando company/potentially one person with hosting is suspicious but it's common place and works fine for stuff like Minecraft. Like why not have a service that's meant for bot hosting that limits network connections, bandwidth and memory, does shared hosting and charges you less, and markets it's self for that purpose? (Not that concerns about trust and security aren't major)

[fast osprey]

Afaik when you host a Minecraft server, you're not entering a legally binding agreement where you're subject to data privacy regulations (check me on that)

But the people buying "Minecraft servers" are most likely overpaying or getting under delivered due to being uninformed. They're all just the same thing under the hood

Like you could pay an extra $2 for the cereal spoon and be like wow this is great I can eat cereal perfectly

How is TOKEN defined?

[finite salmon]

He forgor to save his file before running

[burnt quiver]

classic

[gritty inlet]

Never send your token or any credentials anywhere on Discord. There should be a warning when you try to do so and it's very reasonable.

And I highly recommend you to reset it, you already know why

[fast osprey]

Does this server have an automod regex or a bot check to stop tokens? Just curious

[gritty inlet]

Now I know it doesn't

Oh wait

Yeah it has, just not automod

[fast osprey]

oh like auto delete from the bot?

[gritty inlet]

Mhm

Should probably make it an automod rule....

[fast osprey]

https://github.com/python-discord/bot/blob/main/bot/exts/filtering/_filter_lists/token.py#L50

Yeah IMO automod to prevent the message from even landing in the first place would be ideal, would need a very specific regex to avoid false positives though. Really though at that point, what you're fighting against are selfbots that are looking for that regex too but it's not inconceivable someone would try to run one of those in a server this big.

The bot in the dpy server forwards it to github, which will invalidate the token with a few seconds

[gritty inlet]

I'm pretty sure that the pattern for tokens is known

[fast osprey]

It is yeah, there's a spec

[gritty inlet]

I know that the first part of tokens was just base64 of user id snowflake. Not sure it's still that way

[fast osprey]

oh I was reading the pydis bot code wrong, that's the regex for spoilers

[gritty inlet]

This is not someone's token if anyone's worried

Anyway as I said, I'm not sure they're still generated this way

[fast osprey]

Believe they are

[gritty inlet]

I wonder if there'd be a difference between generation of user and bot tokens to begin with

[grave sandal]

I wonder what will happen when discord runs out of time for snowflakes, and what's crazy to think about is we'll all be dead by then.

[young dagger]

Is there any way to see how many times a member boosted the server?

[fast osprey]

Not retroactively, and not even fullproof even if you start checking

[wild gate]

is it better using discord.py or discord.js anyone have experience in both?

[grave sandal]

I would think It would depend on your preference for language, tooling and ecosystem. I prefer python for all three, maybe discord.js gets newer features for discord implemented quicker but I would personally favor whichever is personally better developer experience wise.

[wild gate]

i have a file in js that I need to send information to my bot so

dik I'll try translating it to py ig

[stark ingot]

The general recomendation is to use whatever language you know best for discord bots. If you dont know any, we will obviously recommend python.

[wild gate]

can a discord file pull information from a js file?

[stark ingot]

I think you are misunderstanding how bots are run. Discord does not see the code your bot runs at all

Your code contacts the discord API and the discord API responds. Sometimes the discord API will send you events, and your bot may respond.

[wild gate]

yeah but when a user makes a request to the bot isnt that calling the api so i need to pull the infromation from my server

and my server is storing the info on a websocket from a js file

idk i'm just gonna and translate the js file to python

[gritty inlet]

You're not meant to "read" js
If you wanna use Python then rewrite that file

[wild gate]

its output

not the actual file

[gritty inlet]

Still, how'd you run that file

[gritty inlet]

In that case you can connect to the WS with Python

If I understood you correctly

[brazen raft]

You may be able to run it with asyncio's subprocess functions but it still requires a desktop runtime for the JavaScript program

[fast osprey]

what the hell did I just read

[vocal plover]

when you work it out let me know lol

[fast osprey]

A lot of programming words that individually make sense but don't mean anything put together

[fast osprey]

Use whatever language you want, they all essentially have the same basic capabilities, and if you're having trouble here it would help if you explain what exactly you're trying to do simply with a user flow (I do X, bot does Y)

[brazen raft]

I mean using something like asyncio.create_subprocess_exec together with asyncio.subprocess.PIPE and asyncio.subprocess.Process.communicate to run the JavaScript program, capture its output and go on with the rest of the Python bot program. Like, I'm assuming they're using asyncio and a JavaScript program. I just don't know for sure if they're using asyncio or some other async runtime, and what JavaScript runtime.

[fast osprey]

Was referring to the broader conversation, like what their project actually does and how you "store info on a websocket"

[gritty inlet]

I was confused as of why the mix of Python and JS

[fast osprey]

The whole thing is pretty convoluted and it would be good to start from what the actual goal is

[gritty inlet]

What is blud talking about ✌🏻🥀

[fast osprey]

Yes, any service that tells developers to just give them tokens because "just trust me bro" should be shut down

if they're "triggered", they should actually read the TOS

[regal venture]

Anyone wanna help? Dms please

[fast osprey]

why not get help here

[fast osprey]

What kind of games? Development gets pretty boring without a good feedback loop to see the progress being made

[forest vortex]

Well it's a good way to improve your skills i made a tic tac toe bot before and learnt a lot

[stark ingot]

The discord developers server is running a buildathon (low key coding competition) you could make a fun short term bot or see if anyone is still looking to team up

Yes

[finite salmon]

Yo btw I think you're using basedpyright and I would recommend you to permanently disable reportMissingTypeStubs cuz you can't expect every library to provide you stubs and you can't do shit about it either, so it's better to just disable them than suppress

[gritty inlet]

Idk I just enabled type checker (pyright) on Pylance

[finite salmon]

you can configure your type checkers with a pyproject.toml file

[tool.pyright]
reportMissingTypeStubs = false

With a toml file you can do project wise configuration, Im not sure but there might a setting in vsc pylance to configure globally

it is http only bot, you can't do this in discord.py

[elfin torrent]

How to get that kind of purple colour status and how to get that sticker in bio?

[gritty inlet]

That "sticker" is just a bunch of emojis

The status is Streaming, I believe discord.py has that

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ActivityType.streaming

A “Streaming” activity type.

[elfin torrent]

It's not bunch of emojis

[timber dragon]

It is

[fast osprey]

Why do people actually care about the status icon so much

[timber dragon]

Because it looks somewhat "professional" and good over a sloppy, lazy one or no bio.

or its not available in python

[fast osprey]

I have no idea what you mean by rolldown thing

Do you have a screenshot?
It sounds like you are talking about a codeblock

[timber dragon]

or a container + select

[faint mountain]

yeywyeyee

You have to put the select inside of an actionrow and then put the row in the container

Heyo, is it possible to leave a server (guild) via Oauth2 flow, with the a DELETE request to /users/@me/guilds/{guild.id}? I'm getting a 401 despite all the intents and scopes and tokens looking fine. For context, I'm trying to make a small local tool to help me leave servers en masse.

[timber dragon]

automating your account is against the tos, we ain't helping with that
https://support.discordapp.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002192352-Automated-user-accounts-self-bots-

[compact gyro]

ah thats a shame, I just wanted an easier way to leave ~80 servers without clickops. I guess a bot account wouldnt help either since it would only be aware of guilds its been invited to, rip

thanks for the heads up either way

I cant even shift-click to select multiple servers at once, and each time I leave one from the bottom of my list, it scrolls me back to to the top 😭 the UX makes me so sad

[timber dragon]

goodluck

#bot-commands exists

[stark ingot]

This is the channel about developing discord bots, not for using them

[jaunty cape]

It could be both if you feel what I’m saying

[brittle oriole]

Hi im trying to make a bot who use the warframe wiki as data base but i have some issue abt the embeb, instead of getting sent into info["description"] instead of info, i can send a part of the code or the all code in a zip file to find the issue but ion know wich part to send, i was hoping for people who could guide me

[stark ingot]

It seems you are making a request, getting the response json, but not getting the description from the json, you are sending the entire json object

[brittle oriole]

mhh i see

i will try to see if i find something to fix that

just with the screen you may have some info on how to fix it, im on it since yesterday (im new to coding) and i still didn't figure out

[stark ingot]

I can't really help without seeing the code related to creating the embed

[fast osprey]

What did you try?

[brittle oriole]

should be that if i ain't that stupid 🙏

[stark ingot]

Have you saved your code?

[brittle oriole]

yeah

i have it zip without my token if needed

[fast osprey]

Try adding some logging statements to confirm that you are saving it properly and that this info is what you think it is

[stark ingot]

Do you have 2 layers of description?
IE would info["Description"]["Description"] work?

[brittle oriole]

im not sure i will be able to do that on my own, im starting to code in python i have 0 aknowledge, it's my first try doing something 🙏

[brittle oriole]

i believe you're talking abt that ?

[stark ingot]

Not really. I was trying to see what the full JSON structure is. It is recommended that you have a good understanding of the basics of python before getting into developing a bot

[fast osprey]

if you don't have an understanding of python how did you get this code to begin with

[brittle oriole]

i watched some youtube tutorial, and got some help from my friend

[fast osprey]

youtube is complete ass for learning. It's all random people making shit up

[umbral marsh]

I NEED A SYSTEM BOT

[fast osprey]

Use your indoor voice

[stark ingot]

also "system bot" is very vague.
also note that we help you make bot here, we dont find them or make them for you

[brazen raft]

Go over the fundamentals properly

[proper slate]

Am I able to post outputs from my discord bot here? I made an animated terminal style discord bot and wanted to see what people thought

[finite salmon]

Sure

[proper slate]

Here's the three color themes

The first one is the loading animation and the other two are content examples

You can choose a color theme

[finite salmon]

Thats cool

[proper slate]

Thank you. I got around rate limits by making GIFs. Instead of sending 60 frames it sends one 60 frame GIF and counts as one message.

[stark ingot]

I'm curious how this integrates with a bot?

[proper slate]

Its what my commands output. Instead of outputting embeds, I output animated GIFs with navigation buttons. Its kinda inspired by the Pip Boy from fallout. These are example GIFs but in the server it looks like this

Taking a pic 1 s

[azure ice]

[tender bobcat]

What usually is the size of the gif file? Just curious to see how friendly it's to user with poor internet

[proper slate]

Pretty small. Lemme check the size of these examples

About 500 kb each

[tender bobcat]

Cool

[severe temple]

What is the best Software to code/make a Discord bot?

[fast osprey]

Are you talking about an IDE? That's incredibly subjective and mostly personal preference

Discord bots really aren't different than any other programming in that regard. Use whatever you like

[limpid nexus]

Discord

Only valid software to make a Discord bot.

[fast osprey]

In theory you could make a bot without having discord on the machine you're developing on

[limpid nexus]

My point was that if there was no Discord, one couldnt make a Discord bot.

[fast osprey]

Don't think that's what they asked

[limpid nexus]

Proof?

[fast osprey]

You don't use discord to code things

Discord doesnt execute code

[limpid nexus]

Never have I said it does.

[fast osprey]

That's what they asked

[limpid nexus]

He should ask better.

[fast osprey]

What he asked for was fine

[limpid nexus]

I agree.

Salutations my fellow intellectual.

[fast osprey]

[woeful hill]

very discord bot related

[limpid nexus]

I am a bot.

[timber dragon]

@ mods

[dense swan]

who has made a discord bot i can use? that can help moderate my server? like auto moderation

[fast osprey]

Discord has auto moderation built in

[heavy peak]

balo

wat dis mean

[finite salmon]

you've been ratelimited

[heavy peak]

from just turning it on………………

[finite salmon]

chill out with the requests you're making to discord and dont hit the api rate limit

[finite salmon]

you couldve hit the limit in your previous session

before restarting

[heavy peak]

i turned it on once this morning and that code is only 50 lines¿

[heavy peak]

ah

[finite salmon]

i can make 10 lines of code that can hit the api ratelimit

[heavy peak]

oh

i understand now thz

[finite salmon]

the ratelimit will go away after a few hours or a day at max

[fast osprey]

This isn't a discord rate limit, it's a cloudflare block

Typically from collocating on an IP

[finite salmon]

I see

[blissful mango]

how to make bots in discord with python?

[fast osprey]

Discord rate limits would respond with a proper API error, cloudflare is a level above that

[fast osprey]

Learn python -> pick a library -> follow that library's official examples

[blissful mango]

Ok thx

[heavy peak]

so dont use replit?….

[fast osprey]

Absolutely don't use replit that's the worst

[heavy peak]

oki

[gritty inlet]

Local or VPS and such

[stark ingot]

The problem with replit is that many people use the same IP address. If one person on that IP address hits the cloudflare ratelimit everyone on the IP gets ratelimited (as discord can't tell you apart). Also the rate limit might be hit because there are many people each contributing a little bit to the shared bucket.

[heavy peak]

nobody contributes to this

so i just got up and used vsc so its kool

[solid matrix]

hello everyone

[fast osprey]

vsc is just a wrapper over running the python executable in this case. If it's for hosting purposes you should probably just run it on command line with like task scheduler

[heavy peak]

is it not a code editor

[stark ingot]

It is

[fast osprey]

Code editing isn't the same as running your bot business as usual

[zealous moss]

hi

Can i use discord.ui.Modals but pass an argument in it?

Like some questions will be displayed on my form that needs to pass it manually

[gritty inlet]

Yes

Subclass it

[zealous moss]

how

[gritty inlet]

class MyModal(discord.ui.Modal):
  def __init__(self, x: ...) -> None:
    self.x = x
    
    self.add_item(...) # Example

Subclassing is a basic thing in Python which I feel like you should learn before trying to make a Discord bot

[zealous moss]

how do you receive the input on the on_submit then?

[burnt quiver]

Define the on_submit function in the class

[patent lark]

is anyone familiar with using ro_py? im trying to connect my bot to roblox to manage a group, upon the base setup, i cannot even get a "whois" command to work, although ive followed the documentations exactly.

https://pastebin.com/5Q0GagYH

this is my code

https://devforum.roblox.com/t/create-discord-to-roblox-bots-with-ropy/1038709

this is the doc

thats my error

i have checked that it is taking the "username" argument correctly.

i tried searching multiple usernames that 100% exist

[fast osprey]

Doesn't really seem related to discord bots

[young dagger]

Are you sure this user exists?

Catch the error, UserDoesNotExistError

There is no error handling

[gritty inlet]

Wth is that exception

Ah that's not from dpy

[patent lark]

100% sure the user exists, and what do you mean? its clearly raising that error?

[young dagger]

It means that the user does not exist, I would just use a try/except for that

Can you try a different user?

[fast osprey]

you should probably ask the maintainers of that library

[patent lark]

ive tried, ive also tried try / except, same errors

[patent lark]

thats what i was thinking

[young dagger]

What is the user?

[patent lark]

xaitzxs

which is my user lol

and i tried my friends users

@young dagger

[young dagger]

Can you try this

@bot.command()
async def whois(ctx):
    user = await client.get_user_by_username("xaitzxs", expand=True)

    embed = Embed(title=f"Info for {user.name}")
    embed.add_field(
        name="Username",
        value=user.name
    )
    embed.add_field(
        name="Display Name",
        value=user.display_name
    )
    embed.add_field(
        name="User ID",
        value=user.id
    )
    await ctx.send(embed=embed)

[patent lark]

lemme try

[young dagger]

Do you still get the same error?

Wait

[patent lark]

looks like expand isnt a kwarg

[young dagger]

Change

roblox = ro_py.Client("My session cookie")

To

from roblox import Client
client = Client("My session cookie")

[patent lark]

alrighty

same usernotfound error

[young dagger]

Should work
https://github.com/ro-py/ro.py/blob/main/examples/user_information_by_username.py

[vagrant depot]

embed.add_field(name="Silver_coins: ",value=result[0],inline=False)
embed.add_field(name="Gold_coins: ",value=result[1],inline=False)

how do i display name and title in a single line like:
silver_coins:1000
gold coins:10

its appearing as:
Silver_coins:
1000
Gold_coins:
10

[young dagger]

I mean you could add it under the description

[vagrant depot]

ohh

like add the embed fields in description attribute?

[young dagger]

desc=f"Silver coins: {result[0]}\nGold coins: {result[1]}"
embed = discord.Embed(title="Tile", description=desc)```

[vagrant depot]

oh i got it

thanks alot

[young dagger]

Sorry, I don't really know what else it could be. It's getting late over here

[vagrant depot]

Thanks again

looks good now

[young dagger]

No problem

[patent lark]

i honeslty think its an issue with the lib

[young dagger]

Could be

[delicate flame]

try searching by ID not by username. Usernames are not guaranteed to be unique

sorry I forgot "not"

[patent lark]

this is searching by roblox username, itd be harder to get their roblox id just from discord

i can try that, not sure if ro_py supports search by id

surerly it does

[delicate flame]

OH sorry I missed that part of the conversation. I would think it does right? Do roblox usernames have to be unique? I know nothing about roblox. Just an educated guess

[young dagger]

It does
https://github.com/ro-py/ro.py/blob/main/examples/user_information.py

[gritty inlet]

They could've just made it

async def get_user(u: int | str, /) -> User:
  if isinstance(u, int):
    ...
  elif isinstance(u, str):
    ...
  else:
     raise

Or (worse)

class User:
  ...

  @classmethod
  async def from_username(cls, username: str, /) -> User:
    ...
  
  @classmethod
  async def from_id(cls, id: int, /) -> User:
    ...

[gritty inlet]

bruh i just noticed that you also did this @timber dragon 😭 and sorry for the ping

What happened with yours though

[burnt quiver]

Probably hasn’t been reviewed or smth

[timber dragon]

Yeah

It hasn't been documented yet either so no rush

[gritty inlet]

Shall I remove mine?

[timber dragon]

Up to you

[gritty inlet]

But where did you get these names from, clearly they're not the ones that the tooltip shows

Maybe Discord rebranded the names, and the ones above are the official ones, Idk

[timber dragon]

https://docs.discord.food/resources/user#display-name-style-structure

[gritty inlet]

I figured, though Idk where they got that themselves

[timber dragon]

Datamining probably

But I guess discord changed them

[gritty inlet]

I followed the html elements

[timber dragon]

That may only be the branding names

[gritty inlet]

That's not necessarily bad though

That way users can compare to the ones on the ui

Question
Why are we required to pass the view typevar to CV2-only items such as container?
Couldn't it internally be set to LayoutView and that's it?

Current, I believe:

class Container(Item[V]):

By required I mean you must do it to satisfy type checker

[burnt quiver]

Not too familiar with typing but I don’t think u do on basic pyright, IIUC

Oh hmm actually not sure

[gritty inlet]

Couldn't it just be

class Container(Item[LayoutView])

[gritty inlet]

You do on strict setting with Pylance

[timber dragon]

That would mean .view is always a generic view

Instead of one of your subclasses or something

discord.py doesn't support strict so you're also on your own when using that

[gritty inlet]

Wdym by 'That'

[gritty inlet]

This?

[timber dragon]

^

Yes

[gritty inlet]

And is this an attr that Item has?

Ok yeah

Good point then
Although personally I've yet needed to pass my subclass type instead of just generic

Can't you make typevars have a default value or is that just in the new syntax

[gritty inlet]

But if you say this then I guess I shouldn't expect them to care

[timber dragon]

Thats 3.14+

[gritty inlet]

Yup

[timber dragon]

But you can import it from typing_extensions

[gritty inlet]

What's the reason for 3.8 support

[timber dragon]

Dpy has done that for Interaction.client

[gritty inlet]

Wait import what, new syntax is just.. syntax

Not classes that I know of

[timber dragon]

TypeVar has a default kwarg

The new syntax in 3.12 just uses that yeah

[timber dragon]

That was the latest when it was decided I guess
3.9 was released 2 months later https://devguide.python.org/versions
#336642776609456130 message

[gritty inlet]

☠️

It's too late now

[timber dragon]

Pycord moves to the last maintained version when one goes EOL

Like now it's on 3.10 minimum

But I don't see dpy ever doing that

[gritty inlet]

Still no voice message support

[timber dragon]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/pull/10230 it's complicated ig

[gritty inlet]

I'd imagine

file = discord.File(buff, filename=fn, voice_message=True)```
Internally, the library would need to set the waveform (that's actually optional) and duration
And add the flag

https://gist.github.com/HDR/7d5d4ce8bbe4b715d788a9bc9f99e02d

Maybe I should test that (I mean in the fork)

[burnt quiver]

No wonder

[gritty inlet]

But last time I tried to do the waveform I couldn't do it

[burnt quiver]

Maybe 3.0

[timber dragon]

It's easier than that iirc

I've done it reliably using ffmpeg

[gritty inlet]

Unlike that pull you sent, this doesn't add new functions or classes

[burnt quiver]

Wdym

[gritty inlet]

The content_type will be kept audio/ogg.
But, either the file from the path or the filename being mp3 doesn't seem to cause any problems. Maybe they're unplayable on ios, I do not care enough to limit users
So I'll remove the bit below ig

[burnt quiver]

Ic

[glass skiff]

Hello

[gritty inlet]

broski rocking that

[mild terrace]

how could i add, delete or print a channel fixed message using discord.py?

[fast osprey]

What does a fixed message mean?

[mild terrace]

a pinned message

[fast osprey]

!d discord.Message.pin

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.pin

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

Pins the message.

You must have [`manage_messages`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_messages) to do this in a non-private channel context.

[fast osprey]

That will add the pin

[mild terrace]

ok, thanks, i gonna try it

[fast osprey]

TextChannel.pins lists the pins on the channel, and Message.unpin removes it

[mild terrace]

perfect, thank you @fast osprey

[young dagger]

I need to load some entries from a db and access self.bot.get_guild. I’ve heard using on_ready isn’t ideal. Should I do it in cog_load or setup_hook?

[fast osprey]

Why do you need to do it then? What's it used for?

[young dagger]

I need to restore some entires from a db and access self.bot.get_guild to restore some tasks

In the case of reboots

[fast osprey]

I'd recommend just starting the tasks. If they internally need some metadata they can wait_until_ready

[young dagger]

The problem is that if I use cog_load, it can’t access self.bot.get_guild

[fast osprey]

You don't need it then

[young dagger]

So where do I place it?

[fast osprey]

You need it during the execution of the task, and that task can wait

[young dagger]

You mean that I let each task call await bot.wait_until_ready()

Never thought of it that way thanks

[fast osprey]

Or in the before_loop would be better

[junior arch]

Anyone wanna try my rpg bot??? :D
