SERVER WON'T START: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'discord_slash'

[bleak harbor]

it wont let me post the code for the bot . . .

if someone with coding experience could DM me I'll walk you through what I've done and show you the code for the bot and everything.

thanks so much <3

[still breach]

Why it's not letting you post code?
Use sourcebin for it

[graceful zephyr]

You could use mcpasteio

[still breach]

you probably haven't placed package.json file

or some dependencies are missing in your package.json file

[graceful zephyr]

They said they're using python so I doubt it's package.json

[still breach]

o well, didn't see that

[dense basin]

i was going to say, why use additional packages like discord_slash when you can just use a complete slash command built in library like discord.py (the new version) or py-cord?

most of these additional slash/interaction packages are no longer nessecary, and most of them not updated anymore

[bleak harbor]

Thanks for all the replies!

Ok so I’ll be completely frank - I have ZERO idea what I’m doing 😅

I purchased the annual host and used chatGPT to make the bot. I’ve gone into a few other servers and found that the info chatGPT is using is outdated so I’ve kind of been doing trial and error as well as reading through a few posts on GitHub to try and figure it all out.

I’ll post what I have via sourcebin once I get back to my PC, I just took a bit of a break because I was getting frustrated 🥲

[vast wharf]

@bleak harbor, you just advanced to level 1 !

[dense basin]

ok so, if you are going to start from zero knowledge and want to make a discord bot, chatGpt is not the way to dit. Chatgpt can be very helpful, but only if you know what you are doing, and what part of chatgpt is not telling the truth. First, you need to learn basic python, and that can take months of hard work, depending on how much you want to be familiar with it. Second, you need to learn how to use the libraries like discord.py or pycord. That is something you get better with as you work with them, so you can get your first bot done in close to a week. But, you need to have a firm grip on python3, because these libraries are not friendly to python beginners, as they immediatly use decorators and such advanced topics

of course, your other choice is to just grab an existing bot off github or hire somebody to make you the bot

[bleak harbor]

I am about to hire someone ngl

know anyone? 😅

[dense basin]

honestly no

its hard to find good devs who 1 won't scam you and 2 would make a good bot for you

what are you trying to make anyways

[bleak harbor]

good devs are hard to come by fr

[bleak harbor]

I am trying to make a discord bot that will record scores for members, tally them up, and create a leaderboard. I'd like a few variables added to the slash command so that an admin can record the member who scored, what they scored on, and the score itself. I am having a hard time figuring out how to create the options for the command. I can do a '!' or whatever command with the <variables> written out but I find it much more pleasing to have a /command with each field entered in correctly.

[dense basin]

that looks like something you can find on github

i mean, like if you mean socre = message count/activity

[bleak harbor]

I wouldn't even know where to start

I also can't post links here

[dense basin]

i saw that

but

how familiar are you with python

[bleak harbor]

🙃

I can understand very little

[dense basin]

from 0 what is python to 10 i can do tensorflow

i'm prob like 8

[bleak harbor]

looked at it for the first time - while actually trying to write it - today.

I've read a lot of it though

I just haven't written it

some things are more easily understood than others, and I'll admit that when you have a dev in your ear explaining everything, it makes a lot more sense.

can I DM you @dense basin ? Is that ok?

[dense basin]

dm me what?

[bleak harbor]

the link with what I'm looking at

[still breach]

@bleak harbor I can help you with building a gpt bot

[dense basin]

any dev can tell you what to do

[bleak harbor]

and see if you can help me make sense of it 😅

[dense basin]

but in the end it is just spoonfeeding

hey let's avoid taking stuff to dms if possible

i can see deleted links

so just send them i'll take a look anyways

[bleak harbor]

I don't know what a gpt bot is 🥲

ok so that first one that was deleted

[still breach]

You are building that?

[bleak harbor]

woah

that's cool

[still breach]

Do you know basics of python and discord.py?

[dense basin]

nah that was just me

manualy work 🙃

[dense basin]

they don't that's the problem

now i am more familiar with slash commands in py-cord

but i can offer some suggestions anyways

[still breach]

just use js lol

js is W

[bleak harbor]

ok so let me show you what I have so far

[vast wharf]

@bleak harbor, you just advanced to level 2 !

[bleak harbor]

idk how to use either tbh

[dense basin]

learning curve for new people

python is the beginner language

js is powerful, but it is probably the most slandered language in cs, and also more complex than python

[dense basin]

if i had to say, start with python

[still breach]

honestly I started off with python but it got me bored so I switched to js and js is a lot better

[dense basin]

you can't get bored of python :D

[bleak harbor]

not helpful

I don't know what I'm doing 😭

[dense basin]

i never learned js myself fully, and i prob won't ever

[still breach]

not overall, but when working on discord bot in python

[dense basin]

but once you know one language the rest of them come mostly hand in hand

[dense basin]

I suggest you try to learn basic cs and python first

stuff like

[still breach]

I am not saying python is bad language but I don't see it good for discord bots

[dense basin]

variables, functions, for-loops, etc

[dense basin]

no python is popular for discord bots

[bleak harbor]

I took a few classes of cs on freecoding-whatever

[dense basin]

there is no reason why js is better other than preference

[bleak harbor]

it was a while ago though

[still breach]

js is too, isn't it?
discord.js is more powerful than discord.py

[dense basin]

ok that's cuz discord.py is discounted

countinuedi meant

but you have pycord and tons of forks

[still breach]

have you used nextcord?

[dense basin]

no

i use pycord mainly nowdays

no real reason why

than i learned it

back in the day when discord.py had no slash commands

[still breach]

i thought nextcord was better after discord.py

[dense basin]

anyways, so if u need some help with the code just send it

[dense basin]

idk forks of discord.py is a whole iceberg like forks of bukkit

[vast wharf]

@dense basin, you just advanced to level 43 !

[still breach]

also use sourcebin instead of mcpaste

[bleak harbor]

idk what that site was

[dense basin]

ah dang

why didn't that show up

here

just use mcpaste

https://mcpaste.io

[bleak harbor]

then what

https://mcpaste.io/372a73354bccaed4

[still breach]

its for minecraft srrver logs 😭sourcebin better

[dense basin]

there isno difference

[still breach]

@bleak harbor Please use sourcebin, it's a lot better for code

[still breach]

it literally formats the code

[dense basin]

look, mcpaste is a known website that won't get flagged by the bot

and that kind of arguement doensn't help right now

[still breach]

ahh

[bleak harbor]

I'm pretty sure you just need to see the code, which is what you have . . . no?

[dense basin]

I did

so i have no idea what the whole discord.py command tree garbage is

because I use pycord and pycord is more clean in my opinon

but the code looks ok

[bleak harbor]

this is my error -
23.01 23:34:08 [Bot] Traceback (most recent call last):
23.01 23:34:08 [Bot] File "/bot.py", line 7, in <module>

23.01 23:34:08 [Bot] AttributeError: module 'discord.ext.commands' has no attribute 'describe'

[dense basin]

ok but

yea

you see

discord.py slash command garbage

its a bag load of unessecary crap for slash commands

i cannot help you with that because I don't use or like discord.py

[still breach]

I think you have to install python modules using pip, right?

[dense basin]

i use pycord which i just discord.py but with a different slash command system

[dense basin]

they already did

[dense basin]

but i'm 99% chatgpt was coming up with some bogus decorator

[bleak harbor]

could you rewrite it in pycord?

[still breach]

But it's not recognizing it

[bleak harbor]

it's like pulling teeth

[still breach]

this will not help you

[dense basin]

i can't rewrite it in pycord

but ican tell you how to

[dense basin]

it won't tbh, but it will help me better help with the code

unless, you know discord.py's slash command crap and want to fix it

[still breach]

you can also use gpt for it

#ai-support

[dense basin]

uh no

[bleak harbor]

I just want slash commands, I don't really care how it's written or in what language

[dense basin]

ask chagpt to write code is really bad

for beginners

[bleak harbor]

that's how I got here in the first place

I can do that on my own

[still breach]

But how will you work on it, if you don't know what it is?

[dense basin]

let me help you with pycord

[bleak harbor]

I am just trying to figure it out. I have a basic knowledge of coding, not very much but enough to semi understand things

[dense basin]

so first, uninstall discord.py and install py-cord

then, change your code

import discord

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

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

[bleak harbor]

ok, I am literally just going to enter it into chatGPT though 😅

idk what I'm doing at all

[dense basin]

start off with this, and ofc the bot.run("token") at the end

[dense basin]

don't

i already told you

chatgpt is not good for making entire code for you

[still breach]

nitro is literally spoonfeeding you

[dense basin]

plus it barely knows what pycord is

trying not to xd

[still breach]

just do what he says

[bleak harbor]

how am I supposed to change my code 🥲

[dense basin]

replace it all

[bleak harbor]

ok

[dense basin]

first, you need to change our your packages thou

remove discord.py and add py-cord

the dash is important

[bleak harbor]

ok so I just deleted everything

[bleak harbor]

added this to vscode

[dense basin]

go replace your requirements/packages

delete discord.py and add py-cord

[bleak harbor]

done

[bleak harbor]

what do I do after this?

[vast wharf]

@bleak harbor, you just advanced to level 3 !

[dense basin]

add some slash commands

i belive it is

@bot.slash_command(description="give it a description")
async def commandName(ctx):
  await ctx.respond("say something here")

to add paramters

from discord import Option

@bot.slash_command()
async def test(ctx, stringoption:Option(str,description="some string")
  await ctx.respond(stringoption)

[bleak harbor]

ok it's too late for me to dive into something new I think lol

I've been working on this for nearly 12 hours straight with no luck.
