[stark ingot]

You are hitting the ratelimit for blockcypher, you should look into what the limits are and how they recommend you handle them

[fast osprey]

Yeah not a discord bot problem at all

[verbal oar]

Hello, I am attempting to make a discord bot but have 2 things I need help with. I am relatively new to python, with like a week's work of experience. I have watched some video tutorials as well as done a python beginner's course.

1. Sharing variables between files. How do I pull this off? I want my cog to import some variables from the main file so I don't have to type it in over and over for each cog.

2. How can I add new slash commands to my bot without needing to write the decorator every time? (see image)

Thanks in advance

[fast osprey]

1. How do these variables get set or get changed? Are they just constants?
2. Why do you not want to use the decorator? That's kinda just how you do it, there's nothing wrong with it

[verbal oar]

1. Variables are constants.

2. Idk keeps the code shorter less confusing for myself

I figured both out. For the first issue, I just made a config.py file and then imported it into my cog.

The second issue, I wrote some code to make a new decorator that essentially predefined some parameters to ease the addition of new slash commands, like setting the guild ID to restrict it to a certain server only. It eliminates having to write 2 separate decorators for one command

[fast osprey]

It's a pretty common trap to think fewer lines is necessarily better

You're not paying rent per line. Especially if other people are ever looking at this code, it being explicit and following typical library practices is way more important than minimizing lines

(You also don't need to use the guilds decorator if your bot is only in one guild)

[valid garnet]

also the class method of making commands is a lot more tedious

[valid garnet]

i don't believe sharing constants from main to cog file is recommended I ran into a bunch of import issues that way I would recommend using a .env file to store your constants or that data

[fast osprey]

Importing constants is totally fine so long as you're intentional with your dependency chain

It's when people put constants in a file that has a bunch of other entangled stuff that it gets messy

[verbal oar]

I guess you are right, but since this is my first project and the only person who will be accessing this code is me, doesn’t matter I guess

[verbal oar]

I have put the constants in a config.py file. Would there be an advantage to storing it in a .env?

[valid garnet]

ehhh since you're new imports may be a bit of a hassle, so using a .env file would help

but it depends on your preference

do you already know how imports work between python files?

[fast osprey]

Relying on envs introduces another dependency and only allows for strings. Personally I really don't see any reason to use them over (well placed) python constants unless you have deployment environment considerations

But there's like 30 ways of doing static configuration and none of them are particularly better than any of the others lol

[verbal oar]

Yeah. It’s just “import config” or “from config import something” right?

[verbal oar]

Yeah I’m using only integers so far, no strings.

[valid garnet]

yeah fair

[fast osprey]

yaml and toml are other pretty popular formats

[tawny zenith]

Wow bro amazing you are making bot

[verbal oar]

What would be the best practice for storing embed messages? in the file they appear or in a seperate one then importing them into another?

[fast osprey]

Like a constant message you want to send? In multiple places?

[verbal oar]

i guess so yeah

[fast osprey]

Is it meaningful for the things that send that message to be in different places?

[velvet badger]

I'm working on a bot I built a few weeks ago, and suddenly I am getting error 4017 every time it tries to connect to voice. I swear that nothing has changed about the code, but I am losing my mind trying to find the source

[stark ingot]

Discord started enforcing E2E encryption. Check if the library you are using supports it, and update.

[velvet badger]

you are a lifesaver. Ill give it a go

[velvet badger]

It worked, holy fuck i'd been googling and asking AI and my friends and couldn't for the life of my find this. you saved my sanity

Thanks for the random code snippet i guess?

[verbal oar]

Commands won't sync to the guild on startup Trying to create an app_command group in my cog using GroupCog, can't seem to figure out what's wrong. Here's my code that's giving me issues:

@app_commands.guild_only
class Tickets(commands.GroupCog, group_name="tickets", description="Ticket commands"):

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

    @app_commands.command(name='ticket_test', description="Test command for the ticket system")
    @app_commands.guilds(discord.Object(id=g_id))
    @app_commands.checks.has_permissions(administrator=True)
    async def reportmodal(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        modal = ReportModal()
        await interaction.response.send_modal(modal)
    
    
async def setup(bot: commands.Bot) -> None:
    try:
        await bot.add_cog(Tickets(bot))
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Failed to load ticketing cog: {e}")

[fast osprey]

What library are you using?

Oh you asked in dpy also already

[drifting arrow]

Using discordpy, how do I get a users channel and check if it's a voice channel?

[burnt quiver]

a user object does not contain any information about a server

But if you have a member object, you can access it's voice attribute

!d discord.Member.voice

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.voice

property voice```
Returns the member’s current voice state.

[velvet swan]

Hello, Chat!

Whenever I make changes to my Bot’s code, I usually get errors related to the token. I store my token in an .env file, but sometimes it works and other times it doesn’t, even with the same code. How can I prevent this from happening again and again, I’m at the stage of going crazy.

[sick birch]

you need to get more details. what does "not means" works? what exceptions are thrown? what specifically is the behaviour?

[velvet swan]

Sometimes it's reading the token as none type instead of str, and sometimes it doesn't. I have no clue what's wrong with it, at this stage.

[sick birch]

Can you show us your code and the exact error?

[velvet swan]

I’m on my mobile, I will later today.

[sick birch]

for future reference it's better to ask for help when you're immediately available to respond and engage in back and forths 🙂

[drifting arrow]

The solution is to put everything that handles the token into a try/except block and print out the error :D

[drifting arrow]

Can you put buttons in embeds?

[woeful hill]

You can't

But you can put buttons inside an action row and put it in a container

[snow sun]

@unkempt canyon what are the uses of ai in my code because most of the time i get errors and what will be use of humans if they get advanced

[thin raft]

session = requests.Session()
session.headers = {
    "Authorization": f"Bot {token}",
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
}
message = session.post(
    f"{API_URL}/channels/1479903690562207796/messages",
    json={
        "content": "asdasd",
    },
    files={
        "asdasdasdasd": open("test.jpeg", "rb")
    }
)

print(message.text)
{"message": "The request body contains invalid JSON.", "code": 50109}

Does anyone know what might be causing the error?

[fast musk]

I don’t know the api payload but you aren’t reading your file.

[thin raft]

still doesnt work already tried

all posts I see are doing it like that

[fast musk]

Show me. It wouldn’t make sense to just open a file and pass it to a value to me. I would expect the contents

[stark ingot]

Uploading files needs to be part of a multi part request iirc

https://docs.discord.com/developers/reference#uploading-files

[thin raft]

damn it was that, now i have another error

but thanks ill try to go from here

[fast osprey]

You'll have a much simpler time if you use one of the popular discord libraries

[thin raft]

I know

wanted to use the rest api

[gritty inlet]

To add file(s), the standard application/json body must be replaced by a multipart/form-data body.
https://docs.discord.com/developers/reference#uploading-files

[thin raft]

yeah

but not only that, you need to remove normal payload data and send it inside the files parameter under the "json_payload" name

    files = {
        "file": ("test.jpeg", request.files["snapshot"].stream, "image/jpeg"),
        "payload_json": (None, json.dumps(payload), "application/json")
    }

    message = requests.post(
        f"{API_URL}/channels/1479903690562207796/messages",
        headers={
            "Authorization": f"Bot {token}"
        },
        files=files
    )```

weird af

[gritty inlet]

Yup

I didn't even know you could upload directly like this

There's the way of first doing POST /channels/id/attachments, then PUT to the upload url, then reference when creating message

[thin raft]

it makes sense you can upload like this

[gritty inlet]

That's what I knew

[thin raft]

but very unintuitive

[gritty inlet]

And that's what the client does

[thin raft]

thats why it takes some time to load images

I’m trying to get a Scrapy project setup on my MSI windows … it says Scrapy command can’t be found… I installed it

Guys

[proper slate]

What kind of bots are people working on?

[west breach]

I write a moderation bot and I made a few for interacting with AI, managing tags, role colors etc

[proper slate]

Oooh cool. Like sapphire?

[west breach]

Its not as polished as sapphire but it helps out the server I do it for a ton

We get about 800 channel bans a month with it

[proper slate]

I made a subscription bot that links PayPal to Discord and gives and takes away roles based on if they renew or cancel, etc. I use it to automate access to my animated bot

Dang thats nice. I just installed sapphire. I like it. If yours passes it up in quality lemme know. I have an 800 person server id be happy to have it in

[west breach]

Do you use OAuth?

Does sapphire do channel related bans and mutes?

or just full server

Its not that it doesnt work well polished, its just designed in a way that has a skill curve which could be improved

[proper slate]

For the sub bot? I made it custom. Links email and ID and has a database and looks up PayPal webhooks to give or take roles.

Im not sure about sapphire. I just installed it.

This is an example of what my animated bot makes. Renders these and outputs them live. Ill show the view attached too

Sapphire is nice but I like custom bots more so im interested to hear about yours

[west breach]

I used OAuth to have discord users authenticate with their discord account instead of pairing the accounts without it

It lets you use Discord as a login basically

[proper slate]

Like when they join a server?

Ooh thats cool

[west breach]

No like when you want them to log in to your site, they use discord to authenticate instead of your own custom login page for instance

How other platforms use apple, google etc to log in

[proper slate]

I made a report bot thats a database. Stores all kinds of media and when you review it it sends it to uou

[proper slate]

Wait no way

Thats sick

[west breach]

Yeah its super simple, took me one 100 line python file

[proper slate]

Thats really cool.

Have you played fallout?

[west breach]

Yeah i like fallout newv and 3

[proper slate]

The bot i made is a ton like a pip boy

[west breach]

4 lost me, didnt like it really

[proper slate]

Wanna see?

[west breach]

Sure

[proper slate]

Can I dm you?

[west breach]

Yeah I think theyre open

If not just lmk and ill open em

[proper slate]

I gotyu. I run the whole bot in termux

I host it on my phone

[west breach]

thats dope

[proper slate]

Thats my thermal code so rendering doesnt overheat my phone

[west breach]

Dang thats sweet

[proper slate]

Its pretty cool. Ill show you around the server

Its a marvel rivals server but I ended up coding for it and got reallllll into it

[surreal walrus]

W termux user

[proper slate]

Ty ty 💜

[mighty pilot]

does anybody know how i can use the interaction data inside a modal? i want to have the guild ID to pull info from a database to use for making options for a select menu inside the modal

it would just make my life easier instead of maintaining a list of options as the database changes

[fast osprey]

What is the interaction? And at what point do you want to use it?

[mighty pilot]

the slash command which summons the modal and ill send what ive tried momentarily and im sure you can see what im trying to do

[mighty pilot]

    @app_commands.checks.has_permissions(administrator=True)
    async def settings(self, interaction:discord.Interaction):
        '''Bot settings for your server'''
        await interaction.response.send_modal(server_settings(interaction))
    
class server_settings(interaction, discord.ui.Modal, title='Server Settings'):
    cur.execute(f"SELECT * FROM db2.serverinfo WHERE server_id = {interaction.guild.id}")
    myserver = cur.fetchone
    selectoptions = []
    for item in myserver:
        selectoptions.append(discord.SelectOption(label=item))
    setting = discord.ui.Label(
        text='Settings',
        description= 'Select Setting',
        component = discord.ui.Select(
            options = selectoptions,
        ),
    )```

the error that this gives is that interaction is not defined in line 7 above^

[fast osprey]

You should accept whatever values you need into the modal's __init__

not subclass interaction

class MyModal(ui.Modal, title='whatever'):
  def __init__(self, guild_id):
    super().__init__()
    self.guild_id = guild_id
    self.add_item(ui.Label(...)) #something with self.guild_id

(also would be good to not use a synchronous database driver if using an asycnio-based library)

[mighty pilot]

The official mariadb driver is async compatible and I have connection pools set up

Thanks for the help 🙏

[slate swan]

Yo people. Im not sure i can post it here. I hope it will be help for a lot. Like to host your discord bot i found a hosting platform where u can get 1 month free hosting with unlimited resources like no limits on disc, ram, memory and with more a lot of features too!!
Dm me if u want it. Im not revealing it in here now. Like it is a hidden gem!

[fast osprey]

If it wasn't a scam you'd put it here so people can scrutinize it

Nobody's giving out "unlimited" resources as charity

[valid garnet]

I'm making a random ahh discord bot what commands do yall recommend I should add into utility

[fast osprey]

I'd personally recommend making a bot that fills a particular need rather than a Frankenstein of random unrelated stuff since there's like 8000 other Frankenstein running around already

[valid garnet]

i mean it's more like a bot that I'm gonna personally use and it's just for testing or learning purposes

later I'm probably going to make a bot that actually can go for a certain purpose (though i don't know what)

[fast osprey]

Well if it's for personal use then you can put in things you'd well...personally use. What's good for other people might not be good for you. Really depends what your server does and what the gaps are

[valid garnet]

i'm creating a new bot right now I have no idea what it's going to be used for what would you suggest

that's kinda new

[fast osprey]

Kinda hard to make something that solves a problem if you don't know what the problem is lol. If it's just a learning exercise you can reverse engineer an existing bot if you don't have any ideas

[valid garnet]

😭

I might make a bot for ticket systems that's like full fledged

[fast osprey]

Yeah that's a pretty popular space, good for learning exercises but not really if you want to make something that stands out

Good to learn about using threads

[valid garnet]

ahh

I want to make a bot that stands out but I have NO idea what I can do

I do have a really WIP bot that has like a eve online type theme

my main problem with that bot is the fact that it needs image generation and i just CANNOT get that thing working

darn you diffusionpipeline

[fast osprey]

There's some good libraries out there if you want to procedurally generate images like pillow and stuff

#media-processing would be a good place to ask

[valid garnet]

thank you

[humble horizon]

Who knows how to make discord bot???

[fast osprey]

Lots of folks in here, if you have a question you can ask it

[gleaming inlet]

Why do you ask?

[surreal walrus]

Depends what you want the bot to do

[pallid silo]

my pc is beefing w python

[valid garnet]

is it just me or have people encountered having to use nested_asyncio as a workaround to a weird problem

[fast osprey]

What's the problem?

[valid garnet]

asyncio not allowing nested loops

well

thats more of a asyncio problem

[fast osprey]

Nested event loops? Why would you need that?

[grave sandal]

@valid garnet also curious about this, do you mean like multiple event loops in one process?

[valid garnet]

yea

tasks for some reason caused a problem

[gritty inlet]

Well what is that problem
Although I don't think this is related to Discord bots

[fast osprey]

Well we'd need to know how you're starting a task and what that problem is

[minor storm]

Hello.

[noble hare]

guys

whats this?

its not really an error because it works exactly as it should

is there a reason i might want to fix it?

[shrewd apex]

well it expects something that supports write i.e the write method text io is much more broader scope you can just typing.cast it if that line is bothering you

[noble hare]

Oo then no need to fix it

[gritty inlet]

Interesting, that never happened to me on strict typechecker

[obtuse stone]

[jade raptor]

Hi

[thorn raven]

hi

[sour topaz]

Hi

Im looking for some information

anywhere to download a opus.dll for discord bots?, im trying to use a bot for playing audio files, and giving me headache

[gritty inlet]

well finding that isn't really related to Discord bots

and how come you need that dll file for just playing audio...

[sour topaz]

Looks like i cannot download discord[voice] in latest python updates

And PyNa library is not compatible with discord.py 2.6.4

[sour topaz]

Bot playing the audio like Groovy etc, but with local mp3 audio

[fast osprey]

2.7.1 is the latest version

[quasi quarry]

What are you makin

[gritty inlet]

Which library is the problem here?

Idk what PyNa is

[sour topaz]

Exactly its PyNaCl

[gritty inlet]

So uh yeah I'm 101% sure an "opus.dll" file isn't related to this

Update both libraries anyway

[sour topaz]

Ok thats the only thing i wanted to know, ill dig on it

[fast osprey]

You should be using 2.7.1 regardless because of the DAVE requirements

[sour topaz]

Im gonna update it to 2.7.1

And see how reacts

Thanks

[gritty inlet]

Yuh

[sour topaz]

i fixed updating to 2.7.1

and this is how it works

Your MP3/WAV file
↓
FFmpeg decodes it
↓
RAW Audio (PCM)
↓
🔴 OPUS ENCODES ← WITHOUT THIS, DISCORD REJECTS THE AUDIO
↓
Sent to Discord
↓
Users hear it

its a cctv system for a game, that send alerts

[gritty inlet]

OPUS ENCODES ← WITHOUT THIS, DISCORD REJECTS THE AUDIO
Are you sure lol

I didn't need to do that manually when I made my bot play voice with dpy

[gritty inlet]

FFMPEG_OPTIONS = {
    'before_options': '-reconnect 1 -reconnect_streamed 1 -reconnect_delay_max 5',
    'options': '-vn'
}

vc.play(FFmpegPCMAudio(stream_url, **FFMPEG_OPTIONS))

is all I ever did. stream_url in my case was an mp3 url

[wind loom]

hi guys i am looking for a job

[sick birch]

you're in the wrong place

[rigid falcon]

Guys how much python do i have to know to be able to build a discord bot

[west breach]

very little

imo

[finite salmon]

Python fundamentals like variables, loops, functions, condition statements, etc. And a little of OOP and async programming would be useful

[west breach]

these are good starting scripts https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/basic_bot.py https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/advanced_startup.py

making it do what you want is the part you'd have to know the fundamentals of python for, but to create one with no function isnt too bad if you learn from these starting points

[rigid falcon]

Thanks

[icy wharf]

Hi guys who do i need to speak to about advice on creating a bot for my server

[fast osprey]

You can ask any questions here and folks can help

[icy wharf]

Thank you Its hard to explain i am wanting to build a bot that I can set up with my d.jing software or like Spotify to be able to play 24/7 music in one of my voice channels

[fast osprey]

Distributing music you don't have the rights to is against tos. I'd suggest just using Spotify's native listening sessions

(Discord aggressively compresses and reduces the quality anyways)

[icy wharf]

Sorry so I meant to set it up to my mixxx account

Ive managed to create the bot and invited it to the server. But from there I have no idea on how to actually link it up to my mixxx account 🤣

[fast osprey]

What does "linking" mean to you?

[icy wharf]

So like making them both work together ahaha

[fast osprey]

To do what

[icy wharf]

So when I go live on my mixxx software I could use the bot ive made to connect to my mixxx account and play live in one of my vc channels 🙂

[fast osprey]

Why not just stream it through your own audio? What is the bot accomplishing?

[icy wharf]

We are currently partnered with a discord called vibe radio and there bot is live in our vc 24/7 playing music. So i was ideally hoping to be able to create something simular we have a few discord servers linked in with us also. So to be able to use the bot to be placed in each server if that makes sense

[fast osprey]

So you play music locally, the bot sits on multiple servers and plays that at the same time?

[icy wharf]

Yes ideally 🙂

As i can get mixx to auto dj till one off us wants to go live on mixxx and do a set 🙂

[fast osprey]

That's going to be a bit on the complicated side. Would you be running both the music and the bot on your local machine?

[icy wharf]

I don't know. I dont know how I could get it to work. I cant find in the bot settings anyway of being able to set it up to work with mixxx

I know its possible as thats how vibe radio do it. But to set up i have no idea. And the guy that set theres up isnt around anymore aha

[fast osprey]

There isn't a bot setting because it's you making the bot lol. You have to code it

[icy wharf]

Yeah thats what I need help with i think 🤣

None of it makes sense to me ahaha

[fast osprey]

Do you have programming fundamentals? In python?

[icy wharf]

I dont think so

[fast osprey]

Not sure how you wound up on a python server specifically

[icy wharf]

Ive been using this so far but definitely on the wrong thing all ive managed to get this to do is make the bot live 🤣

[fast osprey]

Yeah any of those cookie cutter bot creation sites aren't going to do something this complex

You'll either need to invest in learning a language (like python) or pay someone to do it

[icy wharf]

Brilliant thank you as everything I google doesnt even explain or help me do anything. Ahaha

[fast osprey]

Or maybe someone's already built this but I doubt it

[icy wharf]

Do I just download python on my pc?

[fast osprey]

This is going to be a multi week investment, at minimum, to build up the skill set from zero

[icy wharf]

I really appreciate all your support and help. 🙂 I can see this is going to be a big task 🤣

Even YouTube videos make no sense or are relevant to what im wanting the bot to do

[fast osprey]

If you're interested there are loads of resources out there to learn python and programming concepts in general. But you won't learn how to do this specific thing, there are several layers of concepts that build on top of each other

You can't walk into a nuclear engineering class not knowing what a blueprint is and expect to learn

[icy wharf]

Exactly! I really do appreciate you taking the time in talking to me. 🙂 ive got more answers from you in this messege than I have googling and watching videos the past few days 🤣

[fast osprey]

No problem. As a quick stopgap you can probably use a virtual audio cable to tunnel output of your program to a mic input on discord

[icy wharf]

Yeah 100 percent. For what its going to be worth. It was more of a going forward wanting a bot more than anything really ahaha

I didnt release how complicated it was to set a bot up to be able to do that 🙂

[fast osprey]

There's a reason software engineers make six figures lol

[icy wharf]

Yeah 100 percent

[fast osprey]

Using existing bots can be pretty easy, but if you want something custom you generally either pay someone or build it from scratch

[icy wharf]

See this is exactly what im wanting the bot to do ahaha

But ideally I only need it to be able to do the live stream part ahaha

[fast osprey]

You could ask them

But they most likely have custom code running that streams audio, and who knows where that audio is coming from or how the bot is getting it

Once you have a good grasp on python, you can find numerous examples of bots that stream audio from youtube. You'd just have to then write the code that takes it from your thing instead

[icy wharf]

Yeah exactly ill have to do some digging ahaha

I know there audio comes from mixxx when they go live but not sure about when it goes to auto d.j ether so ill do some digging ahaha

[oak finch]

hello

do you know a discord server for sell my discord bot?

it´s incomplete but i wanna know a server for sell it

[fast osprey]

Not the place for it here. You're also trying to squeeze blood from a rock, there's incredibly little money in discord when most of the user base refuses to pay anything

[oak finch]

i mean a Creatos of Discords servers

[fast osprey]

Wut

This is a place for helping people with developing their bots (made in python), not selling things

[oak finch]

ok, i am only asking if somebody know a place for do that but well

[grave sandal]

Does your discord bot do something interesting? Maybe you could talk about it in a relevant community and show it off and if people are interested tell them they can buy it off of you. I don't imagine there's a marketplace server where people are arbitrarily selling discord bots to people though.

[fast osprey]

Yeah such a place would just be an unreadable cesspit of people plugging their stuff

Especially now that it's so easy to vibecode a bot that at least looks like it works

[grave sandal]

yea, like "hey chatgpt, give me python code for a discord bot to do x"

[gritty inlet]

I wouldn't make a bot I intend to sell without making sure there's interest beforehand

[grave sandal]

The last bot I seen sold was actually really bad and it was a telegram bot, very few lines, costed like $200, and all it did was take a list of groups, and add people to other groups. It was the first thing I got paid for (to add to/fix up) and I made significantly less, not to mention the code didn't even go much further than what was available in a guide already. But it did happen to be a piece of software sketchy people wanted. I'm not encouraging that and I'm not proud of this in general, i next got asked if i could help with drop shipping, and sniping instagram usernames 💀

[gritty inlet]

This isn't the first time I see people overpay someone to make a bot

[grave sandal]

The audience that will buy stuff like that I think is people who have no idea about anything, and will assume anyone who can produce working code is a genius, so they'll just pay whatever. Even then it's more like you gotta know people and they gotta ask you for stuff, rather than advertising so much.

[oak finch]

No, its only a Administrator server Bot , with administrator options and save the message on a DB with sqlite

also, is in developing right now

[fast osprey]

This applies

[stark ingot]

You will generally have more luck making a custom bot at the request of a server owner.

[fast osprey]

If you just make things you're guessing people will want, you'll be sorely disappointed when 80000 other vibe coders have the same idea

[stark ingot]

Not trying to sell a premade bot

[oak finch]

ok , thanks for the help

[compact yarrow]

i just open sourced my fluxer bot! yay!

i think its discord bot adjacent enough for it to be in this channel

[dawn plinth]

How I make a bot

[stark ingot]

The first step is to make sure you have a solid understanding of the basics of Python
then you can pick a discord bot library. There is a list of popular ones here https://libs.advaith.io/#python. You could use the raw api if you want but that is much more difficult
After that you should follow the docs, examples, and guides of the library you choose. Avoid following random youtube or 3rd party tutorials.

[dawn plinth]

how I work it

[stark ingot]

Can you elaborate? What exactly are you stuck on?

[gleaming inlet]

https://fallendeity.github.io/discord.py-masterclass/

[final breach]

hello

[dawn plinth]

Thank u

[dry olive]

https://github.com/smanav225-hub/AutoClaudeBot Made this discord bot.

Anyone wanna check it out or rate it?

[fast osprey]

Condones vibe coding, instant pass

[dry olive]

?
are you talking to me?

[drifting arrow]

OO I sense drama brewing

[fast osprey]

As the person who just posted a GitHub with a file endorsing vibecoding explicitly, yes

Don't know who else id be talking to given the context

[dry olive]

it is not vibe coded, It is coded with AI.
Vibe coding means when you don't know what you are doing or only know a little. and trust AI completly. Where you are just prompting AI and trusting that it works perfectly

[dry olive]

whereas I planned it out, I made all teh structure, I designed the GUI, I designed everything, Every script which is there was prompted by me tens to hundreds of times and checked.

All the markdown files are made by me, i wrote like 500-1500 words summaries for each markdown. and then AI just fixied the grammar and converted it to markdown

[fast osprey]

You're condoning it. I didn't say that's all you used

[dry olive]

yeah I made that. that file contains all the instructions on how to vibe code, made that after completing my project.

This discord bot wa built for a competetion for a server of 2500 players. And the owner wanted a easy way to vibe code it, as without any extra work he can simply prompt the AI and add or edit anything in my app.

It was made for the owner of the server, so he can vibe code it easily with claude code.

And all the examples and the code snippets in it, are designed and written by me.

[fast osprey]

And I think it is irresponsible for you to condone it and encourage people to take that approach

[dry olive]

you don't know the context. The owner of the server is a developer of a github repo with 15k stars. He is making a app to help developer vibe code.

[fast osprey]

I don't need to know any context

It's irresponsible

[dry olive]

https://github.com/AndyMik90/Aperant It was built for this server. I created teh file so anyone can edit it and use it. It contains all the instructions so you can jus type 2-3 prompts and create any new features which you may want for your server

[dry olive]

I would say it is helpful, As anyone with 0 coding knowledge can download my github repo, give it to any AI directly and ask it to remove or add any feature.

As a user standpoint it is necessary. I realized it after making the app.

[fast osprey]

And the AI will shit out code that doesn't work, they will have no idea why and will have wasted that time (and environmental resources) instead of investing in themselves and learning a skill

[dry olive]

Just consider someone who made a discord server and has about 1-10K players and dont want to pay for dyno or mee6 in discord.
He will downlaod my app and directly start using it.

Only a couple of million people know how to code. You can't expect everyone to know to code.

[fast osprey]

I don't. I expect them to pay people who invested their time to learn a skill and do the thing properly

Just like I don't know how to do brain surgery and will gladly pay someone to do that if I need it

[dry olive]

For the file "how to vibe code.md" it contains enough instuction that AI will not edit any unessecary file.

[dry olive]

the only reason someone would use my discord bot is because they would not want to pay for it and want the paid featuers of mee6 and dyno for free.
So for a free user it is good.

And if someone wants to do it properly and spend money, then they can directly buy any discord bot subscription. Or they can hire someone to do it for them.

[dry olive]

Yeah i condone that, even while vibe coding you should atleast know what you are doing, and not completely trust ai for everything.

[quick gust]

[drifting sinew]

You don't have a license, BTW

[dry olive]

@fast osprey I agree with your point also.
Thats why i added a file called file strucutre, which contains everything you need to know about my project and its working in details, which a person can simply read and understand how it works.
https://github.com/smanav225-hub/AutoClaudeBot/blob/main/File Structure.md

[fast osprey]

Anyways besides condoning vibe coding, this looks like a random Frankenstein of completely unrelated functionality, including several bits that already exist natively in the client

[dry olive]

👍
I also don't like vibe coding.

[stark ingot]

there is no requirements.txt

also conventionally python files names are lowercase

[dry olive]

I am still learning.
This was my second github repo.
I just started using github from last 2 months ago.

[stark ingot]

yeah, but in your setup instructions you say to pip install -r requirements.txt

[dry olive]

Should have made a requirement.txt

[stark ingot]

dont force sync slash commands in on_ready

[stark ingot]

I was looking in the README

[dry olive]

I think, I should probably learn how to make proper github folder structure.

[stark ingot]

Why do you have httpx and especially requests when aiohttp is already avalible?

[fast osprey]

Wut

I don't like X

specifically makes a file called "how to X" and publishes it

[woeful hill]

also watching seven minutes video to get a bot token is very something

also i don't think this is a .db file, this is a .json file

[dry olive]

Fair point. There's a difference between encouraging vibe coding as a first approach vs. enabling people who'll do it anyway without completely breaking stuff. The guide was just meant to be practical for that, should've been clearer about that distinction.

[dry olive]

it is a database file.
in this app there are 2 database file

1 file to remember the GUI and the last state in the GUI, like which setting you enabled and stuff.

and the other database file stores all the discord messages

[drifting sinew]

DB in alternative reality lol

[woeful hill]

it is not a database file lol

json is a config file

[dry olive]

I stored the data as JSON in a database file because it needs to store your Discord token and settings between sessions.

[woeful hill]

but you already have token.txt?

like why do you need to store your token at 2 places

also, name a json file .json please

[drifting sinew]

JSON has a reserved file extension .json. And .db by convenient used for SQL databases that using file

[dry olive]

uhh where?
forgot to clear the token.txt. it is not used. I used that for testing in the start

[dry olive]

Listen
I did it on purpose and stored it in database(.db) file format.
Because it stored your "token" which is private.
If anyone in future want to secure it or add security to the Database then they can easily add it.

While json is just like a text file which you are directly open it.

[dry olive]

when you tried the app, did it work?

[stark ingot]

the file extension does not change how a file works. On linux the file extension is often not even used in processing

[woeful hill]

i don't run random apps

[drifting sinew]

...but there is no difference how is data represented if you change a file extension

[dry olive]

You can protect a .db or database file, by adding password or encryption. It needs security as it stores Your token.

in a .json file you cant add any security or encryption

[woeful hill]

changing the extension from .json to .db isn't how you make a database

[drifting sinew]

Okay. For example, remove a file extension. Will it change a data inside a file or not? @dry olive

[woeful hill]

and also to answer your question from where i get "Token.txt" you can search a string inside the project using many tools, on github you can search with the search bar on the repo, in vscode you can search with % prefix to search all the matched string in the whole project, in command line you can use grep -ri tool to search a text inside a directory

granted i only click in the repo and i immediately navigate to data.db and Database.py because sometimes beginners just push all their secrets on to public repo

[drifting sinew]

Okay, I'll try to explain in more details.

A type of data is determined by, if we consider textual data, its syntax. For JSON, it's a JavaScript object (because an abbrevation means JavaScript Object Notation). And there is organizations that register a file extensions to a type of data to determine in the future what is it and how it to handle.

You can, of course, use data.db instead of data.json, but 1) you don't complain to the standard; 2) tools will wrongly consider that it's a DB instead of JSON; 3) devs are used to these file extensions.

And also DB files are binary, not textual

UPD: fixed grammar errors

[fast osprey]

JSON is a data interchange format, it's not even a good config format (*IMO)

[drifting sinew]

@dry olive And, please, don't assert that you know something if you can't be sure about it. We're here to help you, but when you're trying to prove that it's made for some reasons that can't hold a critique, then it's so hard to keep to help you

[dry olive]

i am happy with the critique's.
Will not be doing the same mistakes which you and other mnetioned

[shell bone]

do anyone know discord.js?

my music part of my bot keep giving me errors where it wont stream the bot and play it in the call

i even asked ai about it and it dont even work with ai

[burnt quiver]

you're in the wrong server

[shell bone]

Wheres the discord.js server

[burnt quiver]

discord.gg/djs

[stoic minnow]

Js is the worst language 😭

[shell bone]

why you say that

[stoic minnow]

Python is much more efficient

And easier to understand

[sullen granite]

ayo guys

u think it's possible to build a text based online rpg game w/ a discord bot?

I was just thinking cuz these rps are rlly boring and is normally based on discord but they can't play here

[stark ingot]

My understanding of text based rpg games makes me feel like discord bots would work decently well.
Especially if you are using the component system. An image and/or text plus some button options would look nice.

[shrewd apex]

cuz python server but on a serious note do use typescript instead its a much needed extension on js and makes it much more pleasant to work with

[shell bone]

i use it on my discord voice master folder

not my main bot folder ( with all my commands)

[stoic minnow]

any suggestions in terms of text formatting?

[gritty inlet]

What I'd probably do is find a way to display some of the information in a "flow", not explicitly by categories

Like
-# Created by cookietermed. Waiting for opponent...
Instead of splitting to fields

[scarlet tiger]

Programming languages ​​are just tools; for example, I would never use Python for high-performance tasks.

[timber dragon]

Meanwhile you:

[fast osprey]

[finite salmon]

[sullen granite]

thank you bro

[sullen granite]

dang this man already doing what I thought of

[sullen granite]

guys btw

I'm rlly stupid with discord bots running on python so... how do you make the /cmds pop up?

[fast osprey]

It depends on which library you're using

[sullen granite]

how many diff python discrod bot libraries are there?

I only know the one that's just named discord

[sullen granite]

https://tenor.com/view/cymbals-monkey-brain-the-simpsons-homer-empty-head-gif-15689692

i'm actually stupid bro 😭

[fast osprey]

discord.py is the oldest and probably most widely used one but there are several

https://about.abstractumbra.dev/dpy is a good resource if you're using discord.py, read all of it carefully, especially the part about syncing

[stoic minnow]

What abt it

[stoic minnow]

Been doing it

Also have integrated Roblox auto deposits without using an external api

Which I don’t think any bot has capability’s of doing

[stoic minnow]

I mean realistically Python is the most reliable language for getting the job done where as js isn’t every optimisable

That’s just my opinion, the stuff I specialise in which is embed views for pvp games etc is much harder to do through js

[grave sandal]

No doubt on this. You can practically do anything you'd want to and the real question becomes how fast, at which point use optimized libraries for sensitive parts in native code or something, or try pypy. I can't recall the last time I found something I wanted to do that python physically couldn't regardless of how far I've gone in any direction that wasn't related to efficiency in the language it's self.

[noble hare]

guys

not a way to directly upload a file to the bot?

to the bot i mean, not from

like i send it as an attachment and the bot saves it?

or do i must use request

[gleaming inlet]

You would check the message's attachment and then you can save it

Something like this:

async def receive(ctx):
    # Check if the message has attachments
    if ctx.message.attachments:
        for attachment in ctx.message.attachments:
            # Save the file locally
            file_name = attachment.filename
            file_url = attachment.url

            # Download the file
            async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
                async with session.get(file_url) as resp:
                    if resp.status == 200:
                        data = await resp.read()
                        with open(file_name, "wb") as f:
                            f.write(data)
                        await ctx.send(f"File `{file_name}` received and saved!")
                    else:
                        await ctx.send("Failed to download the file.")
    else:
        await ctx.send("No file attached to your message.")

[noble hare]

oo tysm ill try

[noble hare]

worked first try, tysm x2

[timber dragon]

Or just use https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Attachment.save lmao

Does the same thing as above but yes

Oh also, ctx, image: discord.Attachment would require the user to pass a file

Can be wrapped into a list[] too

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/commands.html#discord-attachment

[fast osprey]

Why not just take it as an input to a command rather than reading it off a message?

or through a modal

[tough marlin]

Hi 1 question i have a big dc bot 1 of his many functions is to send messages in DC from a site that I configurated but how can I see some messages before

Pls ping me in case

[stark ingot]

Can you explain further? You want to see what the message is before it gets posted to discord?

[tough marlin]

Now the flow is from the site I tipe and the bot tipe it in a channel

I would like to see some previous messages so I ca basically see the last messages of that channel

[stark ingot]

You can fetch messages in the channel. But overall this seems sketchy. Why cant you just type in the channel normally? Instead of through the website

[tough marlin]

Sometimes I don’t have access to Discord, not even from my phone (I’m still at school, so sometimes I don’t have access to my phone, and therefore not to Discord). Also, since it’s a moderation bot, there can be some issues, so this way I can still communicate through the bot directly. The server has more than 700 members. If you want, I can send you an invite to the server so you can se the bot.

[fast osprey]

If you're in school, maybe you should be focusing on school instead of using some hacky website to proxy into discord

[tough marlin]

Bruh I created the website

And its private

[fast osprey]

That doesn't address at all what I said

[stark ingot]

I guess that makes sense. You should make absolutely clear that your bot is relaying messages outside of discord though. Probably should limit it to a specific channel

[tough marlin]

Can I send the code somewhere so you can check it (its only a cog)

[stark ingot]

you can send it in this channel or #1035199133436354600

[west breach]

I also run a moderation bot. could be cool to see what you're up to

[tough marlin]

Ok, but its to long my cog 2000+

[gleaming inlet]

Upload it to your Github and share a link here. Or use any pastebin service

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

So that everyone can easily read your code, you can paste it in this website:
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.

[stoic minnow]

Any formatting suggestions for this

I feel the price range or emoji is making it look off

[gritty inlet]

I'd use CV2 instead of embed with fields

That's how (imo) you can shift from looking technical to fun

    view = Components()
    await ctx.send(view=view)```

how do i any functionality?

generated using discord.builders btw

[fast osprey]

You should subclass Button and implement a callback

[stoic minnow]

add an embed

and go from there

after you add your feilds etc

of wtv the button is bein used for

[fast osprey]

You can't have embeds in components v2 messages

[fast osprey]

class ButtonOne(discord.ui.Button):
  def __init__(self):
    super().__init__(label="a")

  async def callback(self, interaction):
    await interaction.response.send_message("a")

class ButtonTwo(discord.ui.Button):
  def __init__(self):
    super().__init__(label="b")

  async def callback(self, interaction):
    await interaction.response.send_message("b")

class MyView(discord.ui.LayoutView):
  container = discord.ui.Container(discord.ui.ActionRow(ButtonOne(), ButtonTwo()))

or subclass ActionRow and use the decorators like you would a normal view

class RowOne(discord.ui.ActionRow):
  @discord.ui.button(label="a")
  async def button_one(self, interaction, button):
    await interaction.response.send_message("a")

  @discord.ui.button(label="b")
  async def button_two(self, interaction, button):
    await interaction.response.send_message("b")

class MyView(discord.ui.LayoutView):
  container = discord.ui.Container(RowOne())

[noble hare]

okay tysm both, ill see

[noble hare]

guys

does text formatting not work in embeds

im trying to set a footer with -# but it displays it as is

    embed = discord.Embed(
        title='-# title',
        description='-# description'
    ).set_footer(text='-# footer')

ok so as appears, it works in embed but only for description, not footer or title

no work around?

i just want a smaller text

[fast osprey]

markdown doesn't work in embeds

afaik

[timber dragon]

It does in some fields

[noble hare]

oo okok

[timber dragon]

But also, use cv2 / the container component

That's all with TextDisplays which supports full markdown

[stark ingot]

Footer text is already smaller

[timber dragon]

from discord import ui

container = ui.Container(
    ui.TextDisplay("### Title"),
    ui.TextDisplay("Description"),
    ui.TextDisplay("-# footer"),
)
stats_view = ui.LayoutView().add_item(container)

await ctx.send(view=stats_view)

Assuming discord.py

[noble hare]

yea but

-# its faded aswell so that makes it better for my purpose

Really depends what basics means

but regardless, you'll want to cement those concepts with actual targeted practice of those concepts, not a bot

how do i fix this 😭

[fast osprey]

That's not enough code to really diagnose

depends on how these files are structured

[sleek cedar]

i mean they are all in the same folder if thats what you mean

[fast osprey]

the structure in that file is relevant

you'd get an import error if it couldn't find that file

[sleek cedar]

hmm

i dont see why it would not work

[fast osprey]

well me neither because I can't see the file lol

[sleek cedar]

what can i show so you know enough info

[fast osprey]

that file

removing the actual text of the token

[sleek cedar]

token = 'x'
mongoURL = 'x'
phishObserverKey = 'x'
phishReportAPI = 'x'
fishfishKey = 'x'
developers = [x, x]
watcherChannel = x
watcherLogChannel = x
reviewerRole = x
teamRole = x
certstreamFeed = "x"
iokRules=["x", "x", "x"]```

@fast osprey does that help

[fast osprey]

what happens if you try from config import token? Does it find it?

[sleek cedar]

tried that does not work

so no

for some reason python cannot read anything in that file

[novel scaffold]

have you saved the file?

[sleek cedar]

yes, ive tried. i just got it to work. i looked in the actual file and there was nothing saved to it, it was just blank. not sure why. so then i saved as and then it actually saved

strange, never have had this issue

[fast osprey]

Does not work how

But yeah possibly just looking at the wrong thing in vsc or saving it elsewhere

[velvet swan]

Why don't you just store the token in a separate “.env” file?

[scenic pike]

Wtf is it token grabber?

[stark ingot]

looks like they are making an app to block phishing urls, not sure where you got token grabber from

[stoic minnow]

my exact thought too

[stoic minnow]

a config.py isnt efficient enough just use env

also your functions.py isnt gonna be able to function

😭

[fast osprey]

What about a constant file isn't efficient?

[stoic minnow]

wdym

why would you even use that

thats just more and more work

[gritty inlet]

How? It's much easier to import from a Python file than from an .env

[woeful hill]

Something something pushing .env is harder than config.py something

In reality, they both have equal chance of accidentally being pushed to remote

[stark ingot]

Many template git ignores include .env by default but that is splitting hairs. Although by convention .env is often understood to be more sensitive than any .py file.

[fast osprey]

Config formats are essentially interchangeable as long as you know what you're doing

Both is good

Open the bot's folder then right click > open powershell (within that folder) then try python bot2.py.

It was an editor saving issue

[sleek cedar]

^^ as solstice said, vsc wasn’t saving correctly

[sleek cedar]

Uhm there’s not really too much of a risk in my opinion. It would probably be better practice to use an env file although

[sleek cedar]

Yep, it’s a simple app to track phishing and report it.

[sleek cedar]

And why’s that 🤔

[fast osprey]

There really isn't a benefit IMO, people just like parroting what they were taught. Other formats are better for configuration (ex toml) and other approaches are better for sensitive secrets (ex docker secrets or a secret server)

Importing a library (dotenv) to then emit constants into the environment to then consume it rather than just directly importing it is pretty backwards

[stark ingot]

I like .env as it gives me the flexibility to use normal environment variables. For example as different run profiles in pycharm

[vocal plover]

Yeah the advantage of a .env for me is that you can pass stuff in a fairly standard way, like if I'm using docker[-compose] I can easily set env vars, whereas mounting a readonly volume for a config file is more annoying. Not really a major issue, and you can use whatever, but there is a definite benefit there

[stoic minnow]

This^

You can use either but at the end of the day env is just pro

[crystal escarp]

Does anybody have a Discord Developer Portal team where the owner is identity verified so that I can verify my bot?

[stark ingot]

That does not seem like a smart plan. If you add your bot to a team it is like transferring the ownership of your bot to the team owner

[crystal escarp]

oh well

gotta find someone i trust

yk

[timber dragon]

Or verify it yourself

[fast osprey]

Someone would be pretty foolish to go through the trouble of verifying and then take responsibility to run a bot some rando made (who refuses to get verified themselves for some reason)

[stark ingot]

I can think of 2 pretty strong reasons to not get verified yourself

Although the first part still stands

[tidal zinc]

Hello, I am trying to make a bot that takes all the messages from a discord server of mine, prints them, and reads them out loud. They successfully print, but arent said. I am told that i dont have PyNaCl installed, despite installing it earlier.

Error: "WARNING:discord.client:PyNaCl is not installed, voice will NOT be supported"

My code (<API> is my bot api token, but replaced so its not taken) :

import discord

import pyttsx3

engine = pyttsx3.init()

API_TOKEN = '<API>'

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

client = discord.Client(intents=intents)
guild = discord.Guild

@client.event
async def on_ready():
print('ready'.format(client))
await client.change_presence(activity=discord.Game('👀'))

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
message_content = message.content
message_author = message.author
print(message_content)
text = (message_content)
engine.say(text)
engine.runAndWait()

if name == "main":
client.run(API_TOKEN)

Probably an issue with pyttsx, never heard of it though

[restive geyser]

@tidal zinc How about you make sure that it's not a discord problem by just running the library.

[oblique yarrow]

Hi!

Did any body can give me suggestion that I had learned discord.py on intermediate and I want to go on advanced did any body can tell what I need to do?

[gleaming inlet]

https://fallendeity.github.io/discord.py-masterclass/

[oblique yarrow]

Thanks! brother.

[fast osprey]

Really depends on what advanced means to you. Also worth noting the above guide is not officially endorsed by the library

[oblique yarrow]

OK than did you can suggest me a project on which I can work brother!

And thanks

[fast osprey]

Hard to make recommendations not knowing what you're specifically trying to learn. The library itself isn't all that complicated once you have a firm grasp of the underlying python concepts IMO

[heavy peak]

how to make some of my hybrid commands work in a gc or a users dm as well?

[timber dragon]

See https://about.abstractumbra.dev/discord.py/2024/04/11/user-installable-applications.html

[oblique yarrow]

I need some advanced thing to practice on ui things like options,buttons and embeds,etc. brother and want to get a deep dive in them.

[fast osprey]

The repo has examples of all of those things. I'd suggest copy pasting one of the examples, coming up with an idea and modifying the example to see what happens

[oblique yarrow]

Which repo brother!

[fast osprey]

The discord.py repo. It has an examples folder

[surreal walrus]

Hey guys is there anyway to get around the limit of 5 followup responses for slash commands on user installed app

[fast osprey]

Why would you need to send so many followups and flood the user's screen?

Also limits wouldn't be limits if people could just opt to not follow them

[surreal walrus]

So that's a no?

[stark ingot]

You would need another interaction. There is no way to increase the number of allowed followups in a single interaction

[viral pollen]

i used python crash course 3rd edition. try that better than yt tutorial hell

It's easy, i mean i don't understand much technicall language till i see some real examples too

[brisk tapir]

Just go as your teacher guide ig

[stark ingot]

It's been a while since I have looked at those examples. But they were made for people with 0 experience with programming so they should explain the technical language

[brisk tapir]

Ok

[lavish pollen]

What are some good commands that MUST be into you discord bot?

[fast osprey]

None

If every bot copy pasted functionality, why would you even bother inviting one of them? Let bots serve specific purposes

That said, there are some general purpose maintenance things for the bot developer that are generically useful (like evals or system resources), but for user facing stuff I wouldn't suggest it

[celest pelican]

Some kind of status command I guess would be useful in any bot. So you can check it is running.

[fast osprey]

In that line, I'd highly recommend jishaku if you're using discord.py, it packages a whole slew of owner-only maintenance commands for you that are implemented quite well. Had to catch myself there not thinking about the dev 😅

[stark ingot]

/ping
/info
Can't think of anything else that you would need

[gleaming inlet]

/sync command is a definite must

[fast osprey]

Not sure why you'd want that to be a publicly visible command

[stark ingot]

or have it at all but I'm pretty sure it was a joke

[orchid zodiac]

why am i having such a hard time understanding loops

[fast osprey]

What's the confusion?

[slate swan]

pip install discord.py python-aternos

[gritty inlet]

lol made this to get guild specifc bio

Nothing stopping someone from documenting this on the api docs (so then libraries like dpy will follow that)
But I was also wondering whether it should be a cached property 🤔 or would I need to keep fetching it

[knotty solar]

hey

im working with replit but i have a problem where i can ask?

[fast osprey]

If it's in the context of making a discord bot, replit is not suitable in the first place

This is only for the current user, right?

Uh yeah for current bot

Most definitely that field does not exist for users

[umbral mountain]

[fast osprey]

Overjoyed

It's really unclear what you're trying to get at though. We can't really tell anything about the nature of a bot from a screenshot of a message it sent tbh

[plain parrot]

If that was being said in the beginning I would actually pay attention more , I was just trying to say if that’s an online bot that the owners changed the profile picture and the name or is it a local bot that was made by the owners themselves

[fast osprey]

You can only modify the server profile pic of a bot if the bot specifically gives you a method to do so

[plain parrot]

Like premium membership? Right?

[fast osprey]

That's up to the bot to implement if/how it wants to

[tropic mantle]

Off-topic channels

There are three off-topic channels:

• #ot1-perplexing-regexing
• #ot2-never-nester’s-nightmare

Use any of the three, it doesn't matter.
The channel names change every night at midnight UTC and are often fun meta references to jokes or conversations that happened on the server.

[young dagger]

Can you set/change a View object's timeout to None after the button is pressed?

[fast osprey]

Dpy at least doesn't support you manually modifying the timeout, though I'm not sure why you'd want a view to last forever specifically after it's interacted with once

[gritty inlet]

Does it matter what the timeout is, if the view only contains dynamic items? (or non-interactable components)

[fast osprey]

If there aren't any components then the view timing out doesn't do anything. tbh I'm not even sure if it gets added to the view store at all

[gritty inlet]

I didn't say there aren't any

[fast osprey]

"component" is a bit of a loaded term

but the view store only exists for routing interactions, so if there aren't any interactions ever happening it doesn't matter if/when that view is in the store

[gritty inlet]

So the view timing out does not affect a Dynamic Item that's in it?

[fast osprey]

iirc it does deregister, because by setting a timeout you've told the library you don't want that interaction handled

[gritty inlet]

Hmm although dynamic items are added to the bot via a separate function so I wouldn't be sure it's tied to the view

I'll test it

Was also wondering whether I should set timeout of views that only contain components of CV2 that can't be interacted with, to immediate, for optimization
At my scale it doesn't really matter tbh

But maybe it's good practice rather than having many views wait like 3 minutes to timeout when you might as well make it immediate

[fast osprey]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/discord/ui/view.py#L305

you don't have to bother

[gritty inlet]

Alright, but I still dunno what should be done with dynamic items, I'll check later

[fast osprey]

Presumably if you're making it dynamic then you want to respond to the interactions forever, in which case a timeout isn't really appropriate

[gritty inlet]

Yeah but I see the view here as just the way to send the dynamic item, rather than managing and dispatching it

[fast osprey]

That's probably not how the maintainers look at it

It would be somewhat unintuitive if an arbitrary subset of components on a message continued to work after a timeout you set expired

Although looking into it, there is a flag for if everything in a view is dynamic but I didn't have the time to drill into how that flag is used

[gritty inlet]

Hmm I couldn't find something like that

Ok just found it

So it looks like it doesn't go in the viewstore:

Which would also mean timeout does not affect it

[warped cosmos]

can anyone reccomend any youtube videos to start learning the basics with discord bots?

[woeful hill]

None, as a discord bot library is just a python library, if you know how python works you know how the library would work

There are example codes on the library's github

Copy it, mess with it and see what happens

[fast osprey]

youtube videos, especially those not made by accredited institutions, are incredibly awful for learning. Videos are just a wasteful medium for these concepts, and random people on youtube farming for views have no quality control or fact checking

IMO your best bet is to read reviewed resources for learning python, then read the documentation and examples for the library you want to use once you know the python concepts

[eager crypt]

Does anyone have a comprehensive guide for discord py's UI view? I couldn't find a single decent one, and documentation is horrible...

[fast osprey]

There are examples in the repo

And if you have any questions about what those examples are doing, you can ask here or in dpy's server

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

[sick compass]

How exactly do Cogs works, and why do I need:python @app_commands.allowed_contexts(guilds=True, dms=True, private_channels=True) @app_commands.allowed_installs(guilds=True, users=True) @app_commands.command(name=name, description=desc)
Before every command in the Cogs?
I understand @app_commands.command, but why the other 2?
Isn't it taken care of when you make the bot in the Developer Portal?

[fast osprey]

They're not required. They're just there to modify from the default contexts and installs

[stark ingot]

The dev portal only controls the default installation contexts

[sick compass]

Aaaahhhh, okay
Makes alotta sense
Thanks!

[north kiln]

What should I use if I don't want a user to run a command twice? Like the second command should not run until the current interaction has finished

[north kiln]

I vaguely rmb there was a deco for it

[timber dragon]

There is one for prefix commands

[proper slate]

Anyone wanna show me their bot or see mine? Curious what people are working on

[proper slate]

I defer callbacks and debounce new inputs

[north kiln]

I am not sure what you mean

[proper slate]

You can say hey we are working on this right now using a callback. And during that process, reject new commands and inputs

[north kiln]

yes but I will need to store some additional states

would using something like a set be potentially unsafe?

[proper slate]

I suppose but it isnt as hard as jt sounds. You take the discord input. Defer so it doesnt timeout. And then work on it until its dome

[timber dragon]

Defer still requires you to followup within 15 mins for slash commands

[proper slate]

Hmm im not sure. My syntax is ok but i use AI as a force multiplier so im much better at systems thinking and theory/apolication

[proper slate]

Right but 15 minutes is a long time for discord

[timber dragon]

But is this for slash commands?

You can just deny the command by raising an error

[north kiln]

like I want to prevent a user to invoke another slash command while he is already running one

[north kiln]

yes I know but idk about this

[timber dragon]

I had an implementation that worked similarly to dpy's max concurrency decorator for prefix commands, but I've lost it 😭

Found it https://gist.github.com/Soheab/002539fbb5e1e4df4c541db4ccecfe20

Basically stores a count per user on the command and then checks that on invoke

[gritty inlet]

I never reject commands, why try to fight race conditions

[woeful hill]

If i want to have a chain of interactions like that i would just put the second command as a button for the user to click in the first command response

[vivid elk]

Hi

[fast osprey]

Depending on the goal here, it's possible you can design this to be less stateful so you don't actually care if someone runs a command twice

Which might improve the UX and take care of edge cases

[gritty inlet]

Is there a good library out there for HTTP interactions? Would like to hear some recommendations rather than installing something random (or making my own)

[fast osprey]

Out of curiosity, why decide not to run a gateway bot?

[gritty inlet]

I'm not really planning on a bot right now but rather to experiment with HTTP

But if you don't use any gateway feature and want something a bit faster for just interactions, I guess

[fast osprey]

It's probably a pretty narrow use case where you wouldn't want cached info like the gateway provides. There are loads of web server frameworks out there, not one that wraps discord models though too that I know of

[gritty inlet]

Well the web server part isn't quite the issue 😅

I might as well just use uvicorn and do it raw, but that wouldn't be something I'd wanna do for a whole bot, just for experimenting Ig

[timber dragon]

https://github.com/AlexFlipnote/discord.http probably the only good one for Python

[gritty inlet]

Ty 🙏🏻

[dusk pelican]

hello

someone online in the discord api gateway thread? Or not interesting anymore?

[dusk pelican]

you use pydantic for data models? you a pydantic user or contributor?

[stark ingot]

TBH, this chat is inactive enough that you should just ask the questions here

[dusk pelican]

Yeah you are right

[whole shoal]

memory usage on startup:
Memory Usage: 475.71 MB

memory usage after running for a while:
Memory Usage: 578.83 MB
Uptime: 1 day, 2 hours, 36 minutes, 34 seconds

after longer:
Memory Usage: 926.86 MB
Uptime: 59 days, 16 hours, 27 minutes, 53 seconds

How do i even scale the bot? RN its just one shard thats eating up so much memory

[fast osprey]

Start by using a profiler to see what is actually using that memory

[whole shoal]

Yeah, ive tried it already, used tracemalloc but the overhead of profiler was soo much that the bot never started, it completly maxed out the vCPU for 30 minutes straight but never got running. cant really do that on a prod bot

i do have a lot of data thats cached on startup but that shouldnt exceed 100 MB probs

[fast osprey]

I'd try a dedicated profiling library. You need to get some actual telemetry or you're just trying shit and hoping it works

[whole shoal]

thats the issue, profiling libs have wayy too much overhead

[fast osprey]

which ones have you tried?

[whole shoal]

memray

and tracemalloc

cant even try it locally tbh

[fast osprey]

It's worth trying others. If profiling at scale was an impossible problem, nobody would be able to fix anything besides firing in the dark

[whole shoal]

i'm probably being bottlenecked by the 13 year old vCPU i got on the vps

[fast osprey]

oof

I mean that's definitely not doing you any favors lol

[whole shoal]

Intel Xeon E3-12xx v2 (Ivy Bridge, IBRS)

does the library cache some stuff on its own?

[fast osprey]

A quick google gives like a billion profiling libraries. Maybe someone else here has had recent experience doing this at scale, I haven't. That's also a more general problem you can probably get good opinions on, maybe somewhere like #tools-and-devops

There are lots of levers on the discord library side that you can pull to reduce memory usage, but without good profiling we have no idea if it's the library or just a memory leak you introduced yourself

[whole shoal]

its really hard to test with a prod bot

[whole shoal]

ill have to check more thanks tho , found a lib scalene, might have to try if it works

[fast osprey]

Yeah give it a whirl. You may need to scale up at least temporarily while you diagnose. But if you're going into this blind without profiling, that's like your IDE saying there's an error but refusing to give you a line number, it's a non-starter

[whole shoal]

i have a decent headroom before discord forces sharding, hence want to figure this out quickly before it gets too late, probably will have to first switch the vps provider

[fast osprey]

Yeah getting good telemetry in early is incredibly important

[dusk pelican]

Hello, you ever used webhook api from discord?

[fast osprey]

Via a library, yes. Have never needed to implement it raw

[dusk pelican]

Yes recycle if you can do it

[whole shoal]

i noticed the lib was caching all members since member intents were enabled, disabled that flag and startup mem usage went a little better,

Memory Usage: 324.14 MB
Uptime: 6 minutes, 49 seconds

[fast osprey]

I would suggest auditing the intents you're requesting and aggressively disable ones you don't need

Members is the most egregious in terms of memory, but others are really bad for cpu

[whole shoal]

i only have intents.guilds and intents.members enabled along with default intents, for role sync purposes , they are really only used to monitor one single guild so not that heavy for cpu perhaps

[fast osprey]

Defaults include almost every intent

Including some of the most expensive and least useful ones

[whole shoal]

ah need to go through them and disable the unnecessary ones

[fast osprey]

Intents.typing for example is the one that probably fires the most and is something that maybe 0.1% of bots care about

[whole shoal]

i see

yeah i realised i dont even need the voice channel intents, integration, events and stuff

thanks for pointing it out!

ong just realised i need none of the default intents.

[fast osprey]

guilds is pretty much required for most things if you're running a gateway bot, otherwise your cache will be empty

[whole shoal]

yep i need only intents.guilds and intents.members

will probably drop the members too once i switch to webhook based logic, rn it depends on member roles

[fast osprey]

Yeah it's like a 10 minute exercise to review the intents that a vast majority of devs never bother with and just waste resources on for perpetuity

[whole shoal]

haha never had a thought about checking them, thanks a lot

down to 300 mb startup mem, pretty good for now

will probably move the mem cached dicts and large files onto redis before sharding and run a local memory profiler on a diff bot token

[slate swan]

so i started python with DPY
i dont understand async/await or anything really
i just know how to make things work, what should i learn to like get better at making bots? i can code any bot but it doesnt feel like they are scalable, efficiently written?

do i start with learning python from scratch? or do i read the dpy docs deeply?

[finite salmon]

dpy assumes you already have knowledge of many concepts like oop, async, decorators, etc. Reading the docs wont do much help.

Start from the very basics of python and build up slowly.

hey, so i setup a local instance to check mem allocation and stripped out some stuff to avoid it interefering with the main bot, and well the mem usage is fairly normal, Memory Trace Status
Current Memory
160.81 MB
Peak Memory
191.11 MB

on prod its around 300 MB,

The largest sources in the cache are mainly the 370k word list and other large obj cached on startup along with python libraries taking up most of it, will move some large lists ' to redis hopefull that will save a bit more, cant really check for mem leaks here tho

[gritty inlet]

That word list already sounds quite heavy lol

[whole shoal]

its just 20 Mb + additional 16 mb for python set internals

[gritty inlet]

I wonder how much would chunking members add if you're in lots of servers

I used to use a local background remover thingy that added 200mb on import

[whole shoal]

apparently when chunking members was enabled, the bot used ~475 startup memory, disabling it dropped it down to ~320

[gritty inlet]

Well good thing to turn it off if you don't need it

[whole shoal]

thats a lot, what was it importing

[whole shoal]

yeah basically only need it for one guild but it cached every member in every server

[gritty inlet]

a function that removes background from image in memory, so it was most likely the model itself that was heavy

[whole shoal]

makes sense

[gritty inlet]

can you do selective chunking?

[whole shoal]

no idea

[gritty inlet]

Hmm

[whole shoal]

i didnt bother much i just make a fetch call instead

[gritty inlet]

Anyway it's usually modules that take a bunch of memory

[whole shoal]

yeah

[fast osprey]

You can disable auto chunking and then chunk individual guilds if/when you want to

[gritty inlet]

Maybe the 3.15 lazy imports will help

[whole shoal]

baiscally heres the breakdown for top 30 alloc:

Python Import System
#1, #4, #11, #15, #18, #24
≈ 63 MB

LastLetter Dictionary
#2, #3, #7, #9
≈ 39 MB

Python Runtime Caches
#5, #6, #8, #21, #22, #23, #27, #28, #30
≈ 9 MB

Typing / Pydantic
#10, #13, #16, #29
≈ 2.5 MB

Word Royale Dictionary
#14, #20
≈ 1.2 MB

External Libraries
#17, #19, #25, #26
≈ 1.5–2 MB

Async Networking
#12
≈ 0.8 MB

Total Tracked
≈ 117 MB

[gritty inlet]

Will keeping track eventually tell you more?

Cuz u initially said more memory usage than this

[whole shoal]

i only listed the top 30

[gritty inlet]

oops

[whole shoal]

there are over 500 xd

[honest dawn]

what's the best python version for discord bots?

[fast osprey]

Presumably whatever the most recent one is that's supported by your library of choice for optimizations and security. Bots can do anything, that's kind of like "what's the best Python version for programs"

[river valley]

can someone teach me python

[fast osprey]

What learning have you tried so far?

[gleaming inlet]

!learn from one of the recommended resource below 👇

[unkempt canyon]

[latent bluff]

hihi im using visual studio code for this (even if that matters). it keeps giving me errors on certain lines and i am unsure of how to fix them. can someone help me figure out whats wrong?

[unkempt canyon]

Click here to see this code in our pastebin.

[latent bluff]

by the way if u don't understand what the bot is for here is an explanation to what this is supposed to do

1. i want this bot to be a queue bot, it needs to have 3 buttons that when you click one it changes the original message.
2. i want the buttons to say in this order: noted, processing, done. i want each to have a custom emoji and the label to be grey.
3. i need to be able to have 3 options within the slash command, those being: customer (let me mention someone), order (fill with text), payment (fill with text).
4. when a button is clicked it becomes unusable and the only person who should be able to use these buttons is the one using the command.

[fast osprey]

What's the error?

Just eyeballing it, there seems to be some indent issues

[latent bluff]

i made a forum, and yes its indent issues

[fast osprey]

[honest dawn]

i didnt know bc someone told me theres versions better than in making discord bots thx for helping!

[stark ingot]

Just not old ones, as like any software it becomes unsupported

[whole shoal]

i disabled guild chunk on startup and now im not receiving on_member_update events ....

[timber dragon]

Makes sense, that relies on cache

How would you otherwise have the previous information

[brazen raft]

Gateway event?

Unless no intent covers member updates

Oh but I guess maybe the member's previous state is lost then so no before

Ideally in that case there would be a raw event or something that more directly forwards member update events from the gateway

[thorn moth]

Can someone explain why my

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

Doesn't work and then when I try

@bot.command()

It doesn't work

[brazen raft]

Any error messages?

[thorn moth]

Yeah

[brazen raft]

What do they say

[thorn moth]

when I did a indent for it it said smth like
"unindent line 3"

[brazen raft]

Use pastebin to send the complete program and exception traceback

!astebin

!pastebin

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

So that everyone can easily read your code, you can paste it in this website:
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.

[brazen raft]

As far as I can see there's no indentation and it is not a problem

[timber dragon]

Yeah

[hybrid ravine]

is discord bot developement profitable

[dusk pelican]

might be I dont know, you have a unique idea in your mind?

has anyone here it this channel a discord bot which has some premium features and you are selling this?

[hybrid ravine]

its just cos i want to learn python, and i want to expand my understanding on what profits and capabilities i can accpomplish with it

and i was thinking discord bot dev

but i wanted to know if it is acc in demand

[fast osprey]

It is a very saturated market where the vast majority of the user base refuses to pay anything

Is it possible? Yes. Is it likely? Absolutely not, except if someone commits to paying you that money before you start

[hybrid ravine]

ahh i see thank you! do you know of any other oppurtunuties learning pythin brings?

[fast osprey]

There are tons of industry jobs that use python. Also lots of jobs that don't need python directly but just want you to come in with solid software engineering skills. Picking up other languages is relatively trivial (except for deep niche specialist jobs)

Lots of freelancing opportunities too I'm sure

[dusk pelican]

there are so many discord bots, so many you are right kinda full

[hybrid ravine]

in terms of things i am able to do as im under 18

im 16

[fast osprey]

I'd really suggest an internship, but probably a better convo for #career-advice

[dusk pelican]

do you have a discord bot up right now?

you selling some premium features?

[fast osprey]

I just do bot dev for fun lol

[dusk pelican]

very nice love that!

[dusk pelican]

I have a question what is the difference between the discord ban and kick command provided by discord itself and the endpoints to do it?

[fast osprey]

A bot can use those endpoints in more complex and novel workflows

but if someone is literally just recreating "I want to ban someone right now", that's just a strictly worse version of what they already have

[dusk pelican]

ah ok I see

wait why worse?

[fast osprey]

The built in command applies 2FA checks and properly logs into the audit log

(Also as a rule of thumb, bots having fewer permissions is always a good thing)

[sick dagger]

Dm me if u can help me make a Roblox bot follower plz! I NEED THIS BS NICE

[fast osprey]

Why not just ask your question here

[dusk pelican]

"Fuck Life and Fuck me wallahi am going to kill my self soon when its time…." what do you mean by that?

are you mentally instable?

[sick dagger]

just hate life

[dusk pelican]

ok but therefore talkking is essential

always talk about your problems and I am sure you will find a solution to it

many people are in big problems or had big problems, you are not alone. stay strong and search for good people to talk and support you

[sick dagger]

Thx ig

[main idol]

yes, i got like 600 robux out of it

[timber dragon]

So 5$ lol

Even lesser

[brisk tapir]

From where should i begin reading discord.py

[celest pelican]

Perhaps from here

[brisk tapir]

You can try a Hello response
Do like this
@bot.command()
async def hello(ctx):
await ctx.send("hello")

[safe comet]

Is there any experienced discord bot developer who has experience with Components V2 in python

[gleaming inlet]

If there is an experienced discord bot dev who has experience with Components V2 in python, what would you ask of them?

[safe comet]

I wanna know how to transcript components v2 container based embeds as when I use chat exporter then they appear as blank spaces

[gritty inlet]

Wdym by transcript

You wanna know how to use them?

[safe comet]

Channel transcripts
Like ticket bots

Whole channel logs before deleting saved

[gritty inlet]

You want to extract text from them?

[safe comet]

1:1 html transcript

[gritty inlet]

I can help you with getting the text/whatever from them, dunno what it gotta do with html

[nimble kindle]

you got?

[sick dagger]

?

[nimble kindle]

did you make the bot

[nimble kindle]

help please

[gritty inlet]

You need to add Python to PATH, by editing User Environment Variables if you're on Windows

This is assuming you really installed Python correctly

[nimble kindle]

idk its really glitchy i dont know how to add it to path ik when you installed there use to be a option but there isnt anymore it just downlaods

[gritty inlet]

You can add it to PATH manually in the way I specified

I'd show you but I'm on mobile, for now I guess you can just Google it

[novel scaffold]

have you tried py?

[nimble kindle]

ive tried multiple times i never see the python folder

[nimble kindle]

wdym

pip install discord py ?

[gritty inlet]

no, py instead of python

[nimble kindle]

so do i delete python and install py

whats the link

[gritty inlet]

no, try running that in your cmd

[nimble kindle]

oh yea i already tried that i get the same thing

wait actually i did it and its installing python

just pip install colarama right, but i already have it installed.
