[pliant gulch]

I'm confused can you rephrase

[glad cradle]

no

[slate swan]

how can typehinting break inheritance at any codepoint~

its for typehinting stuff so i.e if you want an argument to get satisfied by a function it would be typehinted with Callable

[pliant gulch]

Typehinting decorators are a pain

[regal pulsar]

wait do i not know what type hinting is

isnt it just

[slate swan]

sure

[regal pulsar]

def foo(bar: str):
    pass

[slate swan]

why not use ParamSpec and Callabale and Awaitable or Coroutine?

[pliant gulch]

You're proving my point

[slate swan]

Can you type for me?

[slate swan]

i am lol

[glad cradle]

ok

[slate swan]

it kinda is a pain just a bit

Embed one

[glad cradle]

@commands.command()
  async def ping(self, ctx):
        embed = discord.Embed(title="Ping")
        embed.add_field(name="`Pinging...`")
        embed.add_field(name=f"**Latency is** ``{round(self.bot.latency * 1000)}``**ms**")
        msg = await ctx.send(embed=embed)

[slate swan]

bro is it not documented or do i have the wrong path?

[regal pulsar]

?

[glad cradle]

@slate swan I'm from mobile, btw you should correct the indentation

[slate swan]

Hmm

[glad cradle]

are you using discord.py?

[slate swan]

Yes

[glad cradle]

this should work, just correct the indentation

[slate swan]

hm true, you can still just stringyfy the return type instead of returning self type

ah, got it

its still the same

[pliant gulch]

This could be easily fixed with a TypeVar though

Self is still the preferred way though

[slate swan]

How to solve this?

Means?

[left crater]

why are you storing ctx.send in a variable?

[slate swan]

maybe he wants the message object idk

[left crater]

that doesnt exist

its reply

[slate swan]

what

[regal pulsar]

to access the message object later im guessing

like

[slate swan]

?

[slate swan]

delete the 2 spaces

2 space means?

[regal pulsar]

@bot.command()
async def test(ctx):
    msg = await ctx.channel.send("Ok")
    await asyncio.sleep(1)
    await msg.delete()

[slate swan]

the 2 spaces in the function signature

[regal pulsar]

paste your code here

[slate swan]

Ok

@commands.command()
  async def ping(self, ctx):
        embed = discord.Embed(title="Ping")
        embed.add_field(name="`Pinging...`")
        embed.add_field(name=f"**Latency is** ``{round(self.bot.latency * 1000)}``**ms**")
        msg = await ctx.send(embed=embed)

[regal pulsar]

@commands.command()
async def ping(self, ctx):
    embed = discord.Embed(title="Ping")
    embed.add_field(name="`Pinging...`")
    embed.add_field(name=f"**Latency is** ``{round(self.bot.latency * 1000)}``**ms**")
    msg = await ctx.send(embed=embed)

how are you using classes but not indenting right 💀

[slate swan]

@regal pulsar

theres an invalid character in the line

so its not an underscore or a letter or number etc

You know you don't need to mark every picture you send as spoiler, right?

Copy pasting made you paste an invalid character

[slate swan]

?

[slate swan]

So how to fix this?

[slate swan]

zero-width unicode escape character?

has happened to me before

yeah

[slate swan]

Rewrite yourself with valid characters

🧢

?

Nothing

ok

[red kernel]

i require assistance

[slate swan]

We require code/errors

[red kernel]

ok so

ive made my bot

import os
import discord
from discord.ext import commands

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix= "?")

@bot.command()
async def hello(ctx):
await ctx.send("Hello!")

token = os.environ['TOKEN']
bot.run(token)

tjhis is the code quite simple

[slate swan]

And your command doesn't work with no errors, right?

[red kernel]

oh no no it works fie

fine*

[slate swan]

Right

[red kernel]

the thing is how do i make a new command such as ?joke

[river pivot]

use api's

[slate swan]

Just like you made one for ?hello

Copy the command you've made in the middle and rename the fuction

async def joke(ctx):

[red kernel]

but then i get this

Ignoring exception in command None:
discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandNotFound: Command "joke" is not found

am i supposed to like

write it on the same file or make a seperate on

cause thats what im doing rn is making a separate and copy pasting the code and only changing the command

[river pivot]

you need get channels at on_ready

[red kernel]

is someone gonna help me or should i go look on youtube

[river pivot]

@red kernel wwit

[maiden fable]

it takes upto 2 hours for those to show up

[river pivot]

@bot.command()
async def joke(ctx):
    await ctx.send("joke")

@red kernel

[red kernel]

where should i put that

[maiden fable]

seems like it

[red kernel]

in a new file or the same lines of code

[slate swan]

None

Below your other command

@bot.command()
async def hello(ctx):
    ...

@bot.command()
async def joke(ctx):
    ...

[red kernel]

now i get File "main.py", line 12
async def joke(ctx):

IndentationError: unexpected unindent

[fading marlin]

what the- why do you have a discord.Client subclass inside of a Cog class?!

[slate swan]

!indents

[unkempt canyon]

Indentation

Indentation is leading whitespace (spaces and tabs) at the beginning of a line of code. In the case of Python, they are used to determine the grouping of statements.

Spaces should be preferred over tabs. To be clear, this is in reference to the character itself, not the keys on a keyboard. Your editor/IDE should be configured to insert spaces when the TAB key is pressed. The amount of spaces should be a multiple of 4, except optionally in the case of continuation lines.

Example

def foo():
    bar = 'baz'  # indented one level
    if bar == 'baz':
        print('ham')  # indented two levels
    return bar  # indented one level

The first line is not indented. The next two lines are indented to be inside of the function definition. They will only run when the function is called. The fourth line is indented to be inside the if statement, and will only run if the if statement evaluates to True. The fifth and last line is like the 2nd and 3rd and will always run when the function is called. It effectively closes the if statement above as no more lines can be inside the if statement below that line.

Indentation is used after:
1. Compound statements (eg. if, while, for, try, with, def, class, and their counterparts)
2. Continuation lines

2. Tabs or Spaces?

[river pivot]

here its shoes you used a japanese char

[fading marlin]

where are you defining my_msg?

[wicked quest]

not to be cocky but it would help if we knew what is my_msg

[fading marlin]

?

could you show the code?

[slate swan]

!d discord.Message.add_reaction

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.add\_reaction

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

Adds a reaction to the message.

The emoji may be a unicode emoji or a custom guild [`Emoji`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Emoji "discord.Emoji")...

[fading marlin]

add_reaction doesn't return anything

[slate swan]

As you can see it doesn't return anything

So keep using msg instead of setting a new variable my_msg

[wicked quest]

yep

[slate swan]

what's that kwarg to set it so that ppl who are mentioned in the message aren't actually mentioned

so for example if u mention @slate swan it won't actually mention them

!d discord.AllowedMentions

[unkempt canyon]

discord.AllowedMentions

class discord.AllowedMentions(*, everyone=True, users=True, roles=True, replied_user=True)```
A class that represents what mentions are allowed in a message.

This class can be set during [`Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client") initialisation to apply
to every message sent. It can also be applied on a per message basis
via [`abc.Messageable.send()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.abc.Messageable.send "discord.abc.Messageable.send") for more fine-grained control.

[slate swan]

Take a look at allowed_mentions

!d discord.abc.Messageable.send

[unkempt canyon]

discord.abc.Messageable.send

await send(content=None, *, tts=False, embed=None, embeds=None, file=None, files=None, stickers=None, delete_after=None, nonce=None, allowed_mentions=None, reference=None, ...)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Sends a message to the destination with the content given.

The content must be a type that can convert to a string through `str(content)`.
If the content is set to `None` (the default), then the `embed` parameter must
be provided...

[slate swan]

Right here

you can set it there and globally, as i do sometimes

Yes

[slate swan]

^

[pseudo portal]

"(" was not closed i mean i did... (and im using pycord with bridged commands so i can have application and prefix)

[slate swan]

Probably missing a , after "Pick a category"

[pseudo portal]

ooh dang! i shldve seen that lol

tysm!

[slate swan]

Again

Stop doing msg = await msg.add_reaction

Just do await msg.add_reaction...

You're always setting the variable before that to None

Correct

Of course

Sure

For the ending you can use the timestamp <t:timestamp:R>

Here would be an example

!e

import time

print(f"<t:{int(time.time())}:R>")

Sending this will give nice formatting, try it yourself

Just get the timestamp of a datetime object, which is probably what you have right now.

[pseudo portal]

hmmm

somma aint right 😂

[slate swan]

You're using twice the same option value

[pseudo portal]

okay idek whats up with me anymore, istg i checked it five times howd i keep missing it 🤣

[pliant gulch]

!d discord.utils.format_dt

[unkempt canyon]

discord.utils.format\_dt

discord.utils.format_dt(dt, /, style=None)```
A helper function to format a [`datetime.datetime`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime "(in Python v3.10)") for presentation within Discord.

This allows for a locale-independent way of presenting data using Discord specific Markdown...

[fading marlin]

in the app_commands.CommandTree.command() decorator, there's a guild kwarg where you can specify the guild ID

e.g @tree.command(guild=discord.Object(id=MY_GUILD_ID))

note that when syncing, you should also specify the guild ID the same way you'd do with the decorator c:

haven't gotten what to work?

[pseudo portal]

guild_ids

[fading marlin]

welp

oh

so bot has a bot.wait_for thing, which is basically what you want

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_for

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait\_for

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

Waits for a WebSocket event to be dispatched.

This could be used to wait for a user to reply to a message,
or to react to a message, or to edit a message in a self-contained
way...

[fading marlin]

there we go

[torn sail]

You need to manually sync in discord.py

[pseudo portal]

ye, if its puclic itd take your bot a few hours to sync, and make sure u invited the bot with application commands enabled. and add guild_ids to bypass waiting, but itd only work for the specific listed servers

[slate swan]

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print("Loaded & Online!")
    client.loop.create_task(status_task())
``` how change into idle?

[fading marlin]

nono, it's a global wait_for, you specify what type of action you want in the event arg

I believe there's an example in the doc

[slate swan]

Yes

[fading marlin]

not really sure, haven't experimented enough with slash commands, there's a gist that covers the basics though if you'd like to check it out: https://gist.github.com/Rapptz/c4324f17a80c94776832430007ad40e6

[slate swan]

@client.event
async def on_ready():
await bot.change_presence(status=discord.Status.idle) 

    print("Loaded & Online!")
    client.loop.create_task(status_task())

Like this?

[torn sail]

Make sure not to change presence on ready. Use the activity kwarg in the bot constructor

[slate swan]

Ok

[fading marlin]

^ if you're using 2.0, you can alternatively use setup_hook for async stuff such as cog loading

[slate swan]

And dnd?

[fading marlin]

wdym?

[brave forge]

why don 't I click on the reaction if I didn 't click on the first one first ?? And why can they only work in turn ?

[slate swan]

@slate swan

[torn sail]

!d discord.Status.dnd

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Status.dnd

The member is “Do Not Disturb”.

[slate swan]

?

[fading marlin]

then you should probably remove the str(reaction.emoji) == ":one:" from your check, otherwise it'll only check for the 1️⃣ reaction, instead of expecting any reaction as input

apart from that, you're already checking if the input reaction is already a 1️⃣, 2️⃣ or 3️⃣

[sick birch]

You shouldn't be changing presence on_ready

[fading marlin]

nope, don't delete your if statement, delete the part in your check function where you check for the emoji type

yep

[ebon island]

If an Asyncio task has a done callback, and during the original task there is a VoiceClient.play() in that task, is the task considered done after the song is "played" or after it finishes and hits the after block?

[pseudo portal]

async def cmnd(ctx):
    select = Select(
    placeholder="Pick a category",
        options=[
            discord.SelectOption(label="One"),
            discord.SelectOption(label="Two"),
            discord.SelectOption(label="Three"),
            discord.SelectOption(label="Four"),
            discord.SelectOption(label="Five"),
    ])
    async def my_callback(interaction):
        await interaction.response.send_message()

[worldly solstice]

Hey guys quick question:

Is it possible to make the value of an embed a hyperlink?
I know it can be done by for example:
embed.add_embed_field(name='Buyer', value='[go to google.com](https://www.google.com/)')
, wont work for me since my value and my link are variables tho.

Thank you in advance 🙂

[ebon island]

what do you mean they are variables?

[worldly solstice]

embed.add_embed_field(name="Buyer", value="[str(wov_name)](str(wov_link))", inline=True)

[fading marlin]

then use f strings, format, concatenate, etc

[worldly solstice]

thats how that would look in my case and this would for obv reasons not work

[ebon island]

I'm really confused about why you've written it that way, is there a particular reason you're doing it like that?

I'd suggest an f string and referenced the variable that way

[pseudo portal]

i did await interaction.message.edit but it gives an error altho it still works

[worldly solstice]

Tbh because i dont know better. I am pretty new to all this

[ebon island]

so your best friend is going to be an f string, a formatted string

denoted by f''

so for example f'What a nice day today, how are you doing, {name_of_friend}?'

[fading marlin]

!e ```py
my_var = "your best friends :D"
print(f"F strings are {my_var}")

[unkempt canyon]

@fading marlin :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

F strings are your best friends :D

[ebon island]

😄

[worldly solstice]

Oh that could work, thank you very much!

Really appreciate it!

[ebon island]

haha it not only could work, it will work 🙂 F strings are awesome, most places you use strings an F string is the best and most pythonic way to do it

[fading marlin]

there's also string concatenation, % thingamajic, and str.format

but we don't talk about those...

[ebon island]

yep, f string is basically an evolved version of those

[pseudo portal]

anyone used dropdown menus? 😅

[fading marlin]

kinda, but only dpy's one, sorry :/

[pseudo portal]

aah rip

but itd prolly b similar

do u know why it gives an error even after await interaction.message.edit works?

[fading marlin]

traceback?

[worldly solstice]

It works, thank you very much guys! Today i learned about f" strings! Highly appreciated!

[fading marlin]

sure thing c:

[ebon island]

No problem 🙂 Best of luck on your journey in Python! Keep asking questions and keep exploring!

[pseudo portal]

wdym? 😄

[fading marlin]

could you send the error that you're getting?

[pseudo portal]

im not getting any terminal errors, it edits it fine, but i get this on discord itself (even tho it did work..)

[vast gale]

what's your code

use interaction.response.edit_message

not interaction.message.edit

[pseudo portal]

async def cmnd(ctx):
    select = Select(
    placeholder="Pick a category",
        options=[
            discord.SelectOption(label="One"),
            discord.SelectOption(label="Two"),
            discord.SelectOption(label="Three"),
            discord.SelectOption(label="Four"),
            discord.SelectOption(label="Five"),
    ])

    async def my_callback(interaction):
        await interaction.message.edit(f"You chose: {select.values[0]}")
    select.callback = my_callback
    view = View()
    view.add_item(select)

await ctx.respond("Here ye go!", view=view)

[pseudo portal]

ooh aight

[sick birch]

Are you using discord.py?

[reef trail]

yeah cause this makes sense

[pseudo portal]

pycord

[sick birch]

I see

Either way that doesn't seem right

[slate swan]

self.get_kitties

[reef trail]

AHHH

i forgot

[pseudo portal]

hmm now i get this

[slate swan]

it does make sense because its not a static method its just a method of the class which in its parameters has an argument named self which needs to be satisfied by an instance of the class

[reef trail]

i havent had to work with functions in like a good 2 weeks so i completely forgot how they worked

[fading marlin]

(at least in dpy) edit_message only takes keyword argument, so you should do edit_message(content=...)

[slate swan]

methods*

its referred as a method since its inside of a class

[vast gale]

content=

[pseudo portal]

aah it works now! but say i wanna add an embed, howd i do edit_message(content=embed=embed) 😅

hmm content="" embed=embed?

[slate swan]

no just embed=embed

[fading marlin]

^

[pseudo portal]

aah aight

tysm lads!

[slate swan]

🍻

[fading marlin]

:D

[brave forge]

@slate swanby the way, I threw my code here and there was Russian and you didn't write something like the rule number

[slate swan]

How would i get current channel ID in discord.py

[brave forge]

dude, the option that you will now get an adequate assistant is very small. So be careful

[sick birch]

Define "current channel"

Because bots can't be focused in one channel like you might on your regular client

[slate swan]

the channel a user types the command on

so if i do

help

it will get the current channel of which the user typed the command of

[sick birch]

Ah. You can use ctx.channel.id for that

[slate swan]

Alright thanks.

[sick birch]

Yup

[brave forge]

@slate swan you're lucky you got an adequate assistant))

[slate swan]

haha

[brave forge]

But remember there are people from the category of I'll throw off the link without knowing what)

[sick birch]

What are you getting at?

[brave forge]

there's no need. just warned the person

[sick birch]

About what? It seems like you're upset about someone linking you to docs/a rule?

[brave forge]

it's just that there is such a group of people who can't say anything themselves and only spreads links

[sick birch]

That's because links often times explain things much better than we can

Especially when those links are official documentation

Written by a specialized team of people who know the library inside and out

[brave forge]

about how it works and how it is described there, I will keep silent, otherwise they will give mute again

[sick birch]

Wise, I understand you're frustrated that people throw links around but like I mentioned, those links are helpful and reading documentation is an essential skill

[brave forge]

for the same specialized people. Not for novechkov

[brave forge]

well, despite the way it is written, most likely those who understand it, they just don't need it

[sick birch]

Yeah, from personal experience, I can tell you at one point you stop needing documentation because you've kind of memorized it at that point

And unfortunately the documentation does seem to cater to those people which is counterintuitive

Regardless, documentation is the best resources when you're trying to learn anything

[brave forge]

well, only at this moment will you understand it. I just don't understand her at all. I remember learning how to make bots in js and there the documentation is more understandable for novechkov

[sick birch]

I've heard it said that discord.js's documentation is better, yeah

[brave forge]

@sick birch
well, you see. You yourself understand that a person like me will never understand how to do something about it, well, this is more complicated

[brave forge]

I didn't even know js at all and without sitting on js servers, I was able to make a good bot that could go into the voice and say something

[brave forge]

so I thought that well, if I could do it in a language that I don't know at all, maybe I could do 1000 times better in a language that I know and understand at least. But no, I think I was very wrong and it turns out 50/50

[sick birch]

I see

It's honestly really just practice, time and effort

[jovial dock]

why does it print this like once every few hours, it doesn't bother me and doesn't mess with anything. I just want to know why

[sick birch]

on_ready() can get triggered multiple times when your bot re-connects to the websocket

Which is why it's not suggested to do anything in there other than printing

[jovial dock]

jesus you type fast

[sick birch]

For example, if you were creating new database tables in on_ready, you'd have like 20 different duplicate tables just because it connects to the websocket multiple times over the course of a a few hours

!d discord.on_ready if you look at the documentation it actually has a warning saying exactly that too

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_ready

discord.on_ready()```
Called when the client is done preparing the data received from Discord. Usually after login is successful
and the [`Client.guilds`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Client.guilds "discord.Client.guilds") and co. are filled up...

[timber tendon]

Is there a way to let a discord bot know when it has too many requests and then have it send a message letting the user know this?

Not sure if I'm explaining this well, but basically something similar to how if you spam commands in Bcoins bot, it tells you to wait like this:

[slate swan]

make your own custom cache, use a global event and check if one command is running and etc

[unkempt canyon]

Missing required argument

package

[alpine pewter]

Actually, it is how I formatted it.
Postman works fine, can someone show me what I did wrong?

[timber tendon]

Um I understood none of that 💀

[slate swan]

I really need sleep, sorry

[alpine pewter]

I'm not exactly great at coding, I'm learning too.
I would advise if you're starting, to learn slash commands - They're being enforced by Discord here soon.
Some may disagree but I learned how to use custom prefixes !help -help ?help as an example and switching just confused me.

I can send you YouTube links of videos that teach you if you'd like, the ones I learned from.

[torn sail]

do you mean something like a cooldown?

[timber tendon]

well yes, basically something like this:

[torn sail]

!d discord.ext.commands.cooldown

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.cooldown

@discord.ext.commands.cooldown(rate, per, type=discord.ext.commands.BucketType.default)```
A decorator that adds a cooldown to a [`Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command "discord.ext.commands.Command")

A cooldown allows a command to only be used a specific amount
of times in a specific time frame. These cooldowns can be based
either on a per-guild, per-channel, per-user, per-role or global basis.
Denoted by the third argument of `type` which must be of enum
type [`BucketType`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.BucketType "discord.ext.commands.BucketType")...

[timber tendon]

I don't use .ext...

frick

[torn sail]

you can use it like this

@commands.command()
@commands.cooldown(1, 30, commands.BucketType.user) # so 1 use for every 30 seconds per user
async def command(ctx):
    ...

[torn sail]

why?

[timber tendon]

because I just followed the first tutorial on youtube which uh doesn't use .ext

💀

[torn sail]

well ext is much better

and yt tutorial are outdated

[slate swan]

or just check the ratelimit remaing hearder in all payloads?

[cobalt zephyr]

ext has amazing features and hybrid commands also in master branch

[slate swan]

or just check if the bucket for the endpoint is depleted

[slate swan]

i hear hybrid commands have given many issues have you encountered any? i havent tried them nor am i interested in them maybe ill check src code later

[sick birch]

Typical

[timber tendon]

Hey I didn't know at the time that ext existed

[cobalt zephyr]

Well there were issues but most or all of them are fixed .
There are some workarounds though in same cases , so you might have to modify your command signature a little .

and commands.Greedy is not supported

[slate swan]

mhm ic

[alpine pewter]

@bot.slash_command(guild_ids=guild_ids)
async def log(interaction : Interaction, query : str = SlashOption(description="Enter the user's gamertag.")):
    for id in server_ids:
        url = f"https://api.nitrado.net/services/{id}/gameservers/games/players"
        async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
            response = await (await session.get(url, headers=headers)).json()
        print(response["data"]["players"])

        if query in response["data"]["players"]:
            print("True")

Can someone help me with this?
The code works until line #7 - When I try to query a name in the file, it doesn't seem to come back.
Even though it's listed in the JSON.
Did I format it wrong?

[slate swan]

making a session for each id

and the final if statement is unnecessary

[alpine pewter]

Yeah, I have 16 servers I have to search through or so.

[slate swan]

you can jusr make one session?

[alpine pewter]

How would I go about that?
I asked in here and someone said this was the proper way to do it

[slate swan]

no you would just do a session outside of the loop

[torn sail]

# this is bad
for i in range(5):
    async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
        ...

# this is good
async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
    for i in range(5):
        ...

[alpine pewter]

Okay, will add onto that.
I'm kinda new, trying to find the best way lol

[slate swan]

its fine you just need to be a little more careful

[alpine pewter]

Got it, that would work with 16+ different ids ?

[torn sail]

yes

[slate swan]

yeah just set your actual for loop inside of the context manager

[alpine pewter]

Okay, let me try to fix it some.
Though, at the bottom -

        if query in response["data"]["players"]:
            print("True")

Did I format this wrong or is it bec of how I did the rest of the code?

[slate swan]

you could just do

if response.get("data"):
    ...

[torn sail]

well on this line

print(response["data"]["players"])

it will raise a KeyError if its not in it

so the if statement will always happen

[slate swan]

yeah hence the reason you should use dict.get

[torn sail]

or there will be a key error

[slate swan]

!d dict.get

[unkempt canyon]

dict.get

get(key[, default])```
Return the value for *key* if *key* is in the dictionary, else *default*. If *default* is not given, it defaults to `None`, so that this method never raises a [`KeyError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#KeyError "KeyError").

[alpine pewter]

I guess I should explain what I'm doing more, I kinda didn't explain it well.
I'd be searching through 16 servers, getting their name and then matching it by fetching their id

End-Goal is for the user to type /ban gamertag then it'll ban them.
Though, you need their id to ban, wanting to make it more simple.

It's a bit of stretch, haven't done something like this before.

            "name":"HOLY Zyrtec",
            "id":"8561a51590f9d ....",
            "id_type":"internal",
            "online":false,
            "actions":[
               "delete"

I've yet to use dict.get let me check that out

[boreal ravine]

did you try restarting your bot?

[abstract kindle]

is it possible to check the type of device a user is on

I wish we could know if theyre on discord mobile or not

[boreal ravine]

stop your bot, run it again

[abstract kindle]

Not talking to you

[boreal ravine]

!d discord.Member.is_on_mobile

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.is\_on\_mobile

is_on_mobile()```
[`bool`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#bool "(in Python v3.10)"): A helper function that determines if a member is active on a mobile device.

[abstract kindle]

no way

Bruh

That's so helpful. Cause some embeds look like trash on mobile

[boreal ravine]

ctrl + c in terminal

[slate swan]

it have to check this all day long? it's almost an overload

[boreal ravine]

did you sync them?

[abstract kindle]

Are your commands global or local

[boreal ravine]

!d discord.app_commands.CommandTree.sync

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.CommandTree.sync

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

Syncs the application commands to Discord.

This must be called for the application commands to show up.

Global commands take up to 1-hour to propagate but guild commands propagate instantly.

[cloud dawn]

Client doesn't have cogs

[boreal ravine]

true

also why do you have a ctx parameter in the commands

[cloud dawn]

You need to either make a custom cogs ext or just use Bot

You would also need to make your own tree.

[forest grotto]

-help

@unkempt canyon

[slate swan]

its prefix is ! so it would be !help and do it in #bot-commands

Yo! I have a bot and a bot that I am working on from discord.ui import View, button works with one bot but doesnt work with the new one, it says there is no module named discord.ui

[stone beacon]

Make sure u got d.py installed m8

[sick birch]

You need to have discord.py version 2.0.0 installed. You can find instructions on how to do so in README.md in discord.py's github page

[heavy folio]

pip install -U git+https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py

[slate swan]

Now it is saying main.py:15: RuntimeWarning: coroutine 'BotBase.load_extension' was never awaited bot.load_extension(f"cogs.{filename[:-3]}") RuntimeWarning: Enable tracemalloc to get the object allocation traceback

it is the same code for my other bot and it works fine, and I dont think that one is using the updated discord.py

[heavy folio]

await it

read https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/migrating.html for a list of breaking changes

[slate swan]

@heavy folio why does my old bot still work the same?

Is there a way to just keep it like that for my new bot?

and when I await it says await outside of function

[heavy folio]

show code

[slate swan]

async def on_ready():
  print(f"{bot.user} is online!")
  
for filename in os.listdir("./cogs"):
  if filename.endswith(".py"):
    bot.load_extension(f"cogs.{filename[:-3]}")

please tell me I dont have to change much, I hate updates

[supple thorn]

What

[slate swan]

i want cogs docs my friend want

[vagrant brook]

i mean you can put it in on_ready no?

[supple thorn]

!d discord.ext.commands.Cog

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Cog

class discord.ext.commands.Cog(*args, **kwargs)```
The base class that all cogs must inherit from.

A cog is a collection of commands, listeners, and optional state to
help group commands together. More information on them can be found on
the [Cogs](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/cogs.html#ext-commands-cogs) page.

When inheriting from this class, the options shown in [`CogMeta`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CogMeta "discord.ext.commands.CogMeta")
are equally valid here.

[slate swan]

okay thanks

[supple thorn]

Why do you hate updates

Updates brings features and bug fixes

[slate swan]

gotta change like everything

[vagrant brook]

you just have to add an await

how would that change everything

[slate swan]

bot.load_extension()
in mine disnake its not coro

[slate swan]

cant, says await outside of function

[vagrant brook]

.

[supple thorn]

You can just subclass commands.Bot and overwrite setup_hook

[supple thorn]

Better to put it in setup_hook

[vagrant brook]

either way its not quite a lot of changes

[slate swan]

async def on_ready():
print(f"{bot.user} is online!")

for filename in os.listdir("./cogs"):
if filename.endswith(".py"):
await bot.load_extension(f"cogs.{filename[:-3]}")

like that?

[supple thorn]

If you really don't like this changes then go back to the outdated version of discord.py

[slate swan]

cause that doesnt work

[vagrant brook]

await

[slate swan]

yeah it dont work🤷‍♂️

[vagrant brook]

did you make the setup function async

[sick birch]

Not the best idea to load cogs in on_ready

[supple thorn]

Yeah

Ok told them to

[slate swan]

well thats not where they were originally

I was asking if thats how they said

[sick birch]

It's going to throw an ExtensionAlreadyLoaded and crash your bot in on_ready()

[supple thorn]

Put it in setup_hook

[vagrant brook]

Just add a boolean to check if on_ready was already called

[sick birch]

You'll also have to subclass bot to use that

[vagrant brook]

anyway

did you make cog setup functions async

[supple thorn]

Yeah i already said it here

[slate swan]

okay, can I just make it like my other bot and stay at 1.7.3? But then I need help importing the discord.ui

even though my other bot works :/

[vagrant brook]

there isn't discord.ui in 1.7.3

[sick birch]

You have to be on 2.0 to use discord.ui

[slate swan]

But Im not on my other bot and it works just fine

Maybe my discord.ui is outdated to work with 1.7.3 also

[sick birch]

I really doubt you'd be able to use discord.ui on 1.7.3

[slate swan]

I swear I am

[sick birch]

There's probably something else going on

[slate swan]

Ill show my other bot code

[sick birch]

Like venvs or conflicting installs

[sick birch]

What's to say that's the one your bot is using?

You've probably got a 2.0 somewhere else it's using

[slate swan]

well, I dont have to use the await shit for my old bot

[sick birch]

Then you've got a broken package install and you should get it fixed asap

[slate swan]

anyways I guess I am fucked so how do I do the await shit again?

for new bot

starting over

import discord 
import os
from discord.ext import commands
import json


bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=discord.Intents.all(), case_insensitive=True)
bot.remove_command("help")
@bot.event
async def on_ready():
  print(f"{bot.user} is online!")
  
for filename in os.listdir("./cogs"):
  if filename.endswith(".py"):
    bot.load_extension(f"cogs.{filename[:-3]}")


bot.run(os.environ.get("TOKEN"))

[sick birch]

class MyBot(commands.Bot):
  def __init__(...):
    super().__init__(...)
  async def setup_hook():
    # do setup stuff here
bot = MyBot(...) # this will be your new bot instance

@bot.event
...

@bot.command()
...

[slate swan]

I am confused already

[sick birch]

I'd love to be able to clarify

[slate swan]

How can I put that into my code? I cant make sense of all that, being so used to how mine is formatted

and with this new bot instance, will I have to change anything about my commands because that would be a painn

[heavy folio]

class Cog(commands.GroupCog):
  """this was more than 100 chars and was supposed to be a cog description""" # errored out if more than 100 chars

  @app_commands.command()
  async def test(self, interaction):
    """this is the slash cmd description which was less than 100 chars"""
    ...
```is it intentional that the cog description cannot be more than 100 characters? it used to be possible

[sick birch]

That's understandable, I see you have

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=discord.Intents.all(), case_insensitive=True)

commands.Bot is the default bot instance, and by subclassing it, you're basically making a copy of commands.Bot, and extending it. So your new class will take the place of commands.Bot

[slate swan]

Anyone know where I can find a mass dm bot on discord (DM if you can)

[sick birch]

No

[sick birch]

No. That's against Discord's terms of service

[slate swan]

I just dont know what to put where, like the ... and what is considered the "setup stuff"

[sick birch]

Basically, you're replacing

bot = commands.Bot(...)

with

class MyBot(commands.Bot): # this part is important
  ...
bot = MyBot() # notice how it's different from `commands.Bot()`?

[torn sail]

Probably because discords limit in length of slash command group descriptions

[sick birch]

"Setup stuff" can be things like loading cogs (what you're interested in), creating aiohttp client sessions, connecting to your database, and all that jazz

[slate swan]

Can you translate my code into that I still am clueless on what any of it means or the point in doing so😭

[sick birch]

Speaking of aiohttp client sessions, @alpine pewter you shouldn't be creating a new client session like this:

async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
  ...

you should have a global one

[sick birch]

Translate your code, I'm not allowed to do that, nor would that benefit your learning. I can guide you through it step by step, however

[little briar]

So, having a bit of a dilemma, can't get pydub to 'select' the file, it just exports it straight up. I needa have the MP3 as an object.

        import pydub
        import os
        import io
        print(pydub.audio_segment.AUDIO_FILE_EXT_ALIASES)
        recording = pydub.AudioSegment.from_file(io.BytesIO(txt2),format="mp3")
        mp3 = recording.export('voice_claim.mp3',format='mp3')
        await ctx.respond(mp3)
        # txt2 and ctx are irrelevant mumbo jumbo, I just need mp3 to be an actual object I can use.

[sick birch]

Are you trying to stream this to a discord voice channel via a bot?

[little briar]

No, just post it as a file

[unkempt canyon]

Hey @hidden hazel!

You either uploaded a .txt file or entered a message that was too long. Please use our paste bin instead.

[alpine pewter]

Ohh alright. Someone explained it to me earlier and I thought it was just the location of the aiohttp.
What's wrong this way and how/what can I do to fix that?

And thank you btw

[sick birch]

Ah, I ask because that's unfortunately out of the scope of this channel. We are internally discussing a new topical channel that could fit the scope of your question, but as that does not exist as of yet, I suggest you claim yourself a help channel (see: #❓｜how-to-get-help), or ask in #python-discussion

[slate swan]

thank you robin for your help, I have to sleep now but I will definitely be here tomorrow😭

[little briar]

Ah, alright.

[heavy folio]

no, that's not the point
group commands arent shown, their subcommands are and look carefully in my @app_commands.command() deco and func, i have the description there and that's the one which will be shown
i dont think group commands by themselves will be shown? so i dont get why the cog description has a character limit

[sick birch]

Don’t create a session per request. Most likely you need a session per application which performs all requests altogether.

More complex cases may require a session per site, e.g. one for Github and other one for Facebook APIs. Anyway making a session for every request is a very bad idea.

A session contains a connection pool inside. Connection reusage and keep-alives (both are on by default) may speed up total performance.
from: https://docs.aiohttp.org/en/stable/client_quickstart.html

[sick birch]

Yup. Ping me if you need any further assistance

[alpine pewter]

Got it, I'll definitely look into that.
I didn't know it caused an issue that way, I've only used aiohttp this way before.

[sick birch]

As for how to fix it? Do the same thing I told Tok to do, subclass commands.Bot, and bind your newly instantiated aiohttp.ClientSession to your bot instance (self if you're subclassing):

class MyBot(commands.Bot):
  def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
    super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
    ...

  async def setup_hook(self):
    self.session = await aiohttp.ClientSession()

bot = MyBot(...) # notice how this is different from how you might usually do `bot = commands.Bot(...)`?

Forgot self. Been doing too much javascript

[alpine pewter]

Ohh okay, so, something like that would fix any problems for the future?
For the aiohttp - anyway.

[sick birch]

You got it

[alpine pewter]

Okay, I'm somewhat newish to coding, I'll try that and if I need help, I'll let you know 🙂
I do have one more question about cogsif you can

[sick birch]

Please, go ahead

[alpine pewter]

    server_ids = [10675, 10501, 10482, 10490, 1016, 10416, 1796, 10483, 1047, 10450, 10412, 10709, 179, 1051]
    guild_ids = [956462089935941652]

    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot
  
    @nextcord.slash_command(guild_ids=guild_ids)
    async def ark_ban(self, interaction : Interaction, gamertag : str = SlashOption(description="Enter the user's gamertag.")):
        if (not interaction.user.guild_permissions.administrator):
            embed = nextcord.Embed(title="`❌` `System Exception Error!`", description="**Exception Error, Checklist:**\nEnsure user permissions are met.\nCheck the API's current status.", color=3066993)
            embed.set_thumbnail(url = "https://i.imgur.com/FmzHoKr.png")
            await interaction.send(embed=embed, ephemeral=False)
            return

        else:
            async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
                for id in server_ids:
                    url = f"https://api.nitrado.net/services/{id}/gameservers/games/banlist"
                    response = await (await session.post(url, headers=headers)).json()
                    print(response)
                    
            embed = nextcord.Embed(description=f"**`>`** **`✅ - System Success:`**\nThe user have been banned!\nResponse: `({gamertag})`", color=3066993)
            await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed, ephemeral=False)              

How come guild_ids register through all my commands below that? Though the server_ids will not register?
(Haven't fixed the aiohttp yet)

Wait

Half the code is missing lmao

[sick birch]

Those server_ids don't seem to be valid IDs

Or is that for an external service?

[torn sail]

Oh yeah that’s correct

[alpine pewter]

They're my own servers on Nitrado, I cut them in half to be safe, the full ID gives admin access through API.
They're accurate though 🙂

[sick birch]

Okay, and what do you mean by "the server_ids will not register"?

[sage otter]

Do you actually need an await for that?

I don’t think so.

[sick birch]

Not sure, it does need access to the event loop however

[alpine pewter]

03.05 02:12:50 [Bot] NameError: name 'server_ids' is not defined

That's the error I got with it positioned there, though when I moved the [server_ids] into part of the code, it worked fine.

[sage otter]

just pass it in then

ClientSession() takes a loop kwarg

If not passed in it probably runs asyncio.get_running_loop

[sick birch]

Yeah, but when you have async setup hook function you may as well call it in there with nothing attached

[sage otter]

i mean there’s not really any extra effort needed

[sick birch]

!paste Can you post your full code in a hastebin?

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in discord, you can paste your code here:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the floppy disk icon in the top right, or by typing ctrl + S. After doing that, the URL should change. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

[alpine pewter]

Will do

[sick birch]

You're right, looking at the documentation and it doesn't seem like they're using await on it

[sage otter]

Just put in the init
self.whatever = aiohttp.ClientSession()

And call it a day

[sick birch]

Yeah, don't know how you'd make a class constructor async anyway

[sage otter]

Context managers

Not really but you get the idea

[alpine pewter]

I believe the issue is the placement of it.
The headers and server_ids have issues.
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/nanekawaqi

[sick birch]

!e

class AsyncConstructor:
  async def __init__(self):
    print("Asynchronous initialisation")

async def main():
  await AsyncConstructor()

asyncio.run(main())

don't think that's gonna work anyway

[sage otter]

async with aiohttp.ClientSession()

[sick birch]

Try moving those inside the constructor and bind them to the instance

[alpine pewter]

Can you dumb that down for me some? Lol

[sick birch]

Well, that's more of an __aenter__/__aexit__ deal rather than a truly asynchronous constructor

[sage otter]

yea.

[sage otter]

Slide it into the init

[sick birch]

class Nitrado(commands.Cog):
  def __init__(self, ...):
    ...
    self.headers = {...}
    self.server_ids = [...]
    self.guild_ids = [...]

[sage otter]

Constructor = __init__

[alpine pewter]

Will do, that's how I started it, it gave an error but maybe I messed it up
One sec, trying again

[sick birch]

Also, if you were to make a global ClientSession like I mentioned earlier, you can just pass in your header into that and aiohttp will automatically include that with any requests made with that ClientSession instance

Straight from the docs:

headers={"Authorization": "Basic bG9naW46cGFzcw=="}
async with aiohttp.ClientSession(headers=headers) as session:
    async with session.get("http://httpbin.org/headers") as r:
        json_body = await r.json()
        assert json_body['headers']['Authorization'] == \
            'Basic bG9naW46cGFzcw=='

Notice how the headers are passed into aiohttp.ClientSession rather than session.* methods?

[alpine pewter]

Okay, that's starting to make more sense to me.
I was confused on how to go about that.

Will you be on for a few so when I switch it all you can check it out?

[sage otter]

They go with session?

I thought they went with the http methods

post/get/put etc

[sick birch]

If you pass it to the session, aiohttp will automatically pass it to the methods

It's useful for shared headers, like what our friend here is doing

[sage otter]

That’s epic

[sick birch]

Yup, especally when you interact with different APIs that have their own headers, you can have multiple clients for each API with their own shared headers

[sage otter]

Across all methods tho? What if one of the methods doesn’t require any headers?

[alpine pewter]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/oxocevucuv

So, I switched it like you said, I got this error.
03.05 02:32:04 [Bot] NameError: name 'server_ids' is not defined

[sage otter]

did you put

self.server_ids

[sick birch]

Not sure about that. The whole point is that ALL methods require it. You may be able to override it by passing an empty header however

[sage otter]

Sounds reasonable

[alpine pewter]

Wait, so, I'd need to put self in front of that?

I did not know that lol

[sage otter]

I’m your init

[sick birch]

Yes

[sage otter]

All those variables you made there need self

Or it binds to the function not the class

pretty sure. Idk

[alpine pewter]

Even for guild_ids ?

[sage otter]

idk python. I’m just here.

[sick birch]

If you're setting, that is. If you're just accessing, then it won't be found

[sage otter]

Yea

Wait hold on

[alpine pewter]

I've used it normally without it for about a month, haven't ran into that issue

[sage otter]

Am I like missing something or is your indention off

[alpine pewter]

The rest is fine, the issue is I didn't know where to put my headers/server_ids

[sage otter]

No I mean like

They're not in the init.

[sick birch]

Pass that into your aiohttp.ClientSession within your setup_hook()

[sage otter]

They're basically in the same scope you had them earlier

[alpine pewter]

They're aligned, I don't think that's the issue.
It might look odd on the formatter

[sage otter]

I think. I’m just trying to support what Robin is saying. Since he said to move them into the init

[alpine pewter]

Let me just change the code into the other aiohttp

Then go from that

[sick birch]

!e

class MyClass:
  x = "Hello, world!"
  def say_hello(self):
    print(self.x)
MyClass().say_hello()

[unkempt canyon]

@sick birch :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

Hello, world!

[sick birch]

Oh looks like it's automatically bound as a class instance when you have it top-level inside a class

Leave your stuff how it is then and just access them like self.server_ids and self.guild_ids

[sick birch]

TIL

🙀

okimii just showed us the path to eternity

[slate swan]

no

its a class variable

[jade tartan]

This code was working before but now it isnt

can you help me

[sick birch]

Yeah, which are really just bound to self

[slate swan]

its the same for all instances and can be accessed with instances of the class

[sick birch]

Same thing, different terminologies

[slate swan]

not quite

[sick birch]

This is a bit different yeah

[slate swan]

theyre class variables and not instance variables

[sick birch]

It's more like static keyword in Typescript or Java

[slate swan]

self.x = x

i.e here self.x has a different value depending on the instance of the class
while

x = ...

is a class variable which will always be the same no matter the class instance

[jade tartan]

Hello

[sick birch]

Yup, slightly different

[slate swan]

that is so.

            await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed, ephemeral=False)

@sick birch - So, I figured out the issue, this is working mostly.
This command gives the response of it working - Though, it doesn't do anything.
The API response saying that the user was banned.

When I use it through postman, it works just fine.
Assuming it has to do with the aiohttp, should I try switching to what you said now?

[slate swan]

do know even if its a class variable suggest its a variable in the class scope which any instance can call the variable ofc but its not in the global scope!

[sick birch]

"doesn't do anything" as in how?

[alpine pewter]

The API responds with this below - Sorry, I should probs word things better.

    "status": "success",
    "message": "The user has been added to the banlist."
}```
It's a `POST` 

When I do it through my bot, it says it bans the player but doesn't work. 
When I do it through postman, it bans the player immediately. 
I'm unsure what's wrong with my part of the code.

Let me try it with one ID instead.

[sick birch]

Doesn't work as in, the player is not banned in the game?

[slate swan]

hi

[sick birch]

Howdy do?

[slate swan]

im fine :D , how are u

[sick birch]

I'm doing peachy, thanks for asking!

[alpine pewter]

Correct. My code replies stating the they have been banned, through the API.
Though, the player does not get banned in-game.

I tested the API with postman, it works properly. It's an issue with what I did wrong.
I'm unsure what I did wrong though.

[slate swan]

just completed my 400 lines only giveaway start cmd

;-;

[sick birch]

It's a start :)

[slate swan]

i used modals :D

wait let me send ss

[sick birch]

discord.py?

[slate swan]

whats the issue?

[sick birch]

Ah, and you're 100% sure postman & your local code matches up?

[sick birch]

long story short, API request works through postman, not through aiohttp

[slate swan]

weird postman probably does it in a better way
probably making a bad request then

[abstract kindle]

Anyone know why my interaction.user.status is returning as "offline"

[loud junco]

anyone knows how to set up webhook?

[sick birch]

is the user... offline?

[alpine pewter]

I'm using the same URL from postman, it's a post and I'm 100% certain something is wrong with my code.
I just can't figure out what. It replies from the API saying it did ban them. Though, it doesn't actually do any action.

[abstract kindle]

No

[loud junco]

im struggling to make a vote reward for my discord bot

[abstract kindle]

It's me, and I'm well online

[slate swan]

the user is offline or you dont have members intent if they arent not sure

Either you're passing in the wrong ID (valid ID - it's someone elses, just not yours) or something's wrong with Nitrado's backend

It works immediately when using postman, so I know it's something I'm doing wrong.
I've checked the server_id and it's accurate as well - The API returns a success code saying it bans the player and it doesn't actually ban the player with my code but it works as expected with postman.

[slate swan]

😶

[sick birch]

very strange 🤔

[alpine pewter]

I trimmed the server id in the link for security purposes.
But other than that, it's 100% accurate

?

[slate swan]

its http request and it wouldnt matter really the gateway handles it quite easily

[sick birch]

@alpine pewter by chance, are you using postman's special thing for authorizing? or are you doing it manually?

[midnight gorge]

i have it like this

wait

In the "authorization" tab I mean

[slate swan]

🤔 is the new change in slash commands permission anyhow breaking code-wise ?

[jade tartan]

This code was working before but now it isnt

[slate swan]

you did not import Path

[midnight gorge]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/duwakipewo

[slate swan]

um whats that drop down menu called ??

[alpine pewter]

I'm not too sure what you mean by that.
I entered it as a POST and put in the info necessary, then but the AUTH token.

When I start it, I'm in the params tab. If that helps

[midnight gorge]

@slate swan

[slate swan]

!d discord.ui.SelectMenu

[unkempt canyon]

Nuh-uh.

No documentation found for the requested symbol.

[sick birch]

Where'd you put the auth token?

[slate swan]

okay

[jade tartan]

Is it import path

?

[alpine pewter]

Authorization, under a Bearer token

[slate swan]

what is that exactly? are you makign your own wrapper?

[slate swan]

sorry, its just Select

ohk..

[midnight gorge]

no

is the mobile status thing

[slate swan]

in src?

like where did you got that from lol

im so confused

[slate swan]

from pathlib import Path

[midnight gorge]

in main file:

discord.gateway.DiscordWebSocket.identify = ok.get_mobile()

[sick birch]

Aha, spotted. When in Postman you select the "Authorization" tab and use a Bearer token, it actually creates a header like this:

{
  "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_TOKEN_HERE" 
}

But yours looks like this:

{
  "Authorization": "YOUR_TOKEN_HERE" 
}

I can tell from this snippet in your code, line 27:

headers = {"Authorization" : key.nitrado_key}

It should be:

headers = {"Authorization" : "Bearer " + key.nitrado_key}

[alpine pewter]

Let me try that, I'm gonna be so happy if that's all

[loud junco]

alright indian guy on youtube solved my problem

[stone beacon]

Of course

[slate swan]

was it hunter?

Hunter has a yt channel?

even after those splitgate games i even knew you before you had those colorful roles😔

[sick birch]

i cant lmao

[slate swan]

wdym ofcourse it does

[alpine pewter]

Actually, I don't believe that this is the issue, if I enter it wrong, it tells me that the token is missing.
It's working normally as it was before, same issue.

[slate swan]

click on my pfp and youll see my profile pop up and then press this button🙀

[slate swan]

huhh, me who couldnt even find them in the docs
thanks i'll look those up again

[sick birch]

Strange, because postman prepends "bearer" to the start, yet it works from there?

[slate swan]

lol

[loud junco]

ahem

[slate swan]

imagine using top.gg after this button

[slate swan]

😳

[loud junco]

fixes u in what way

[slate swan]

any way you want to imagine

[slate swan]

Doesn't help you discover bots

[loud junco]

ye

[slate swan]

thats true

It just helps you to invite a bot you visit its profile

[alpine pewter]

url = "https://api.nitrado.net/services/XXX/gameservers/games/banlist?identifier=vSpectraI"

payload={}
headers = {
  'Authorization': 'Bearer B7rcAjbI5Nw...',
  'Cookie': '7c7a3581f78104008dff0...'
}

response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload)

print(response.text)

Yeah, this is all it is apparently to work.
Only took me an hour to realize there's a copy button

[slate swan]

right

anyways im gonna go to sleep, Goodnight everyone!😅

gn oki

'night

[loud junco]

i just woke up

[sick birch]

I would do some minor adjustments like using requests.post() instead of requests.request("POST", ...)

[slate swan]

gn i hope u dont get nightmare of mine

[slate swan]

mine never checks it

[loud junco]

BRUH

[sick birch]

Other than that, yeah, good for you! Sorry I couldn't be of more help to you

[slate swan]

AMONG US

[loud junco]

nigerundayo smokey

[slate swan]

Goodnight my fellow crewmates👁️👁️

[alpine pewter]

Got it, I'll change that, do you think that's all?
And no worries, Nitrado is slow. I've been hosting off them for 5+ years, my servers stay up only like 70% of the time.

API is probably terrible

[sick birch]

Should be it. I'm off to bed, so if there's any issues ping me, I usually check my inbox in the mornings

[alpine pewter]

For sure, I appreciate all that help. 🙂

[sick birch]

t'was my pleasure

[slate swan]

@client.event
async def on_command_error(ctx, error):
        embed =discord.Embed(color=000000, title=f'Vexon | Error!', description=f"**:RikkaDance: | {error}**")
        await ctx.reply(embed=embed, mention_author=True)

I want to change this

Into this

SPOILERS

Xd sorry

😶

Anyone?

Use the Levensthein distance algorithm to get the closest matching command (recommended). Or simply check if the command you've used is in one of your commands, e.g. you have command botinfo and ban but you've tried info, info is in botinfo but not ban. (Less recommended as it might not always be accurate.)

[jade tartan]

What if i want to ping it in the embed?

[slate swan]

Append .mention

[jade tartan]

like mention it like @ everyone for example

[slate swan]

That you can't

[jade tartan]

I have seen servers and it seems thats you can

[slate swan]

You will need to send it in the content kwarg

You cannot ping people in embeds

[slate swan]

What you can do is mention someone, but they won't get any notification

[slate swan]

thats a mention, not a ping

[jade tartan]

I know you cant btu i was saying for example

[slate swan]

Cloning another bot

[jade tartan]

or yeah mention the bot in embed

[slate swan]

bot.user.mention as said

I hope you moderate your server really well and make sure everyone is 18+
If there's minors being involved on the server and no one is kicking them out, then yes, it's against ToS and your server will get terminated along with your account.

How to change bot status into this?

Can you stop marking them as spoiler? It's really annoying as many people already said...

And you can't do that

Why?

Because the API doesn't let you do it

[pliant gulch]

You can, but it's not intended

[sick birch]

Well

[slate swan]

I know.

[slate swan]

mobile_status ?

Yes

Hence not recommended and shouldn't be explained

Surprised they're not completely blocking it

?

:v

Simply don't do it

[slate swan]

So how these guys do that?

Again

lmao

😶

It is technically possible

Hmm

But

1. Not recommended
2. Pretty sure it's against ToS in that case
3. With your knowledge I wouldn't get myself into that

why would you even need that if its not recommended, its just a status and doesn't affect performance of the bot

is it related to api manipulation?

Yes

ah

Well

[sick birch]

Websocket identify manipulation

[slate swan]

to be exact yes

Which is as per terms of service disallowed

[sick birch]

I suppose as you're working with that sort of thing, you're naturally going to be interested in that

[slate swan]

Against tos what?

yeah

Seriously?

[slate swan]

terms of service of discord

[sick birch]

Yes

[slate swan]

Can get your bot and account technically terminated if discord cares

Xd got it

They would probably do something else than terminate your account directly

Such as a warning or hindering your bot to use that status

👍

[alpine pewter]

Figured out the actual issue
I forgot the params @sick birch

[sick birch]

Ah

It happens lol, don't fret about it

[slate swan]

How can I host my bot on android

were all humans!

[slate swan]

Ur not u didnt sleep

😳
