Create a #1130600438811590709 post and send your code there (with a gist like pastebin.com if it's long)
Yeah, I'd say that this is its own ticket and not a simple help if it's bouncing back and forth
done...
No
Yeah
-# Sorry, i have done that...
@ripe rock My bot's setup didn't work, I think. I forgot to include the assets folder when I migrated the bot from my PC to the hosting. It's working now. You can test the setup π (I got your username from your post. When you post, it goes to the servers where the bot is located. Your username appears there.)
how long are the forums around? there's a lot of stuff in my thread that I need to go through and lift out at some point and wanna make sure I schedule time around it
in theory itll be archived such that readonly but π€·
"We will archive the Buldathon channels so you can still see them"
Until the 29th guaranteed
Is the judging done?
-# please i wanna update my boot sooooooooooo bad
-# but you have my production build
If there's bugs or something you need to fix, you can just clearly document it in the thread so they know exactly what changed
well it's... missing the core...
-# but one of the commands work!
so wait, you submitted a project that wasn't complete and non-functional?
i would recommend reading pins/announcements
Whos' that to?
but on this Anthony did say that ideally it should be a code freeze until judging is over and event responded to you directly about it: #buildathon-chat message
the bolded "is the judging done"
which is why i work with a different token to update the bot and will switch back to production token once buildathlon judging is over
You can use a dev version of your bot all you want locally, you don't have to use the production version.
The one they'll judge off of is the one submitted
ahh okay, thanks. just didn't wanna assume
well anthony sorry i couldn't provide something very... functionable
We're getting through them! Halfway as of last night, trying to get through them quick so yall can get back to working on them
damn halfway already??

professional speedrunner right here
Can someone tell me what a buildathon is and how to participate in it
Its over already
:/
If you told what you needed help with
Like to have webiste for the bot
I know how to make that but what do i need to have it published
Are you asking how to connect a website to a domain? Like https://domain.com/?
If so, you should make a #1130600438811590709
oh
Uo
I am wondering that why my
print(member.status)
always return offline to me π€ even user are online/ DND / invisible and other status
even my intents are fine
# Allowing specific permissions to the client.
intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True
intents.members = True # Required for member objects
intents.presences = True # Required for presence (status) updates
status attribute is only returned through get_member, i.e, through cache/gateway
not through the rest api, i.e, fetch_member
I used get_member too, but .. let me try again
π
If your member is not cached properly I get member might still be incorrect. Although I think you get status on startup
how to cached properly...?
Doing this gives me None...
member = interaction.guild.get_member(user_id)
print(f"MEMBER : {member}")
# NONE
Either the requested member is not cached or it is not in guild
former can happen if the members intent is disabled or cache flags are set
Alright yall (espeically @left plaza and @jolly mountain ), we've gone through and judged all the entries! Feel free to jump back in and work on them as much as you'd like now!! Thanks for your patience as we went through them all. Now you just have to wait to find out the results at the finale event on the 29th π
https://discord.gg/discord-developers?event=1458612829400600688
Thanks... It's 1am π«©
Imma fall back into bed
I have school tomorrow
Imma have to buy more monster
I wanted to make sure we got through them asap since so many devs wanted to keep working on their projects!
That makes sense!
Do you guys record each bot you guys test?
Also let me guess the testing didn't... Give a lot of results for our bot
Does anyone want help me with a maybe vr game try are best?
But also can't wait
im rooting for torkin π₯³
π€
That's awesome! Did you guys miss #1459274210181517366 by any chance? I didn't see any telemetry originating from SF for that one. 
Would not have been possible without the backing library Dressed!
So big shout out to Inbestigator for that one
not all SF based 
We didn't record the initial testing but we tried to spend a good amount of time with each entry. Projects that were multiplayer or required multiple people to use we set up in a server to play with
They're using secret people from across the world to test...
Damn that was fast! I thought you were going to spend the whole 2 weeks judging the projects lmfao
any of you guys good at roblox games i need some help doing GUI tages and more!
ik but i thought i ask
Also you've sent out that messages so many times that discord has now flagged you a spammer by the way π
We still have to do some final recordings of the winners, make slides, prep for the event, practice for it, etc... lots to do behind the scenes to prep for these events!
Ohhh yeah that makes sense then, not out of the woods yet XD
perfectly during my morning class btw βοΈ
I'm guessing it will be recorded lol
hopefully at least
Will they give their opinion on each one or only on the winners?
There's quite a few submissions, I'd assume the top ones from each category, the winners, and then some honorable mentions.
-# again, assumptions based on what has been said previously
if only i didn't have a privacy policy and logged everything to see how fun you tested things, but in seriousness nice - ive looked through lots of projects myself and there are soo many cool things!
Crazy speeds. gg. Buildathon premium
Staffs using automod commands? :hmm:
So the 29 is when they get showed (the winners and the bots)
29th
Oops
imagine how much nicer it could be with components v2 (ie buttons inline to force ship to or co)
the member is in guild, if the requested member is not cached, how can i cache it ?
cls MemberCacheFlags.all() is by default, though you can check at the reference yourself for more information
okay great thanks
Oooo i have noted an interesting thing.. do i have to kick and invite the bot again after enable the present and other intents from the discord developer portal ?
No
In my scenario, my bot was working fine,
I have added these intents in codebase after enabling the options from portal
intents.members = True # Required for member objects
intents.presences = True # Required for presence (status) updates
And when i restarted bot it stop working,...
I mean when it starts, it is not calling theon_readyevent, and when i write anything ( like $config handled underon_messageevent) it peaks up the Memory usage and crashesSo, i have removed those intents and it start working,
So changing the presence and member switch on portal is not affecting it, but these 2 intents for some reason
..

Stealth skill confirmed
-# (Sorry, didnβt mean to @mention)
?
Adding those intents causing my bot crashes ! on server ... ( in local all good )
Likely an issue on your code elsewhere
well everything is exactly same
Do you terminate the instances inbetween restarts?
how it actually crashes --> on_ready function not getting called, nothing happening.. but on_message i have wrote $config so when i write that in chat, the CPU-Memory usage spikes and the whole VPS crashes
and it's not cheap VPS though... it's 40$ one
so my VPS crashed 4 times, everytime i tried the same thing, now i have put ulimit -v 500000 causing the process to terminate before it crashes the whole VPS.... but the bot is still not working
and removing those 2 intents magically makes it work tada!
What if you leave out the presences intent
you mean try removing the member intent only ?
Just wondering will the buildathon winners event be posted to youtube? Like a recording of it?
the results will be announced in the event, which will have a recording on youtube
<@&1050493473033289778>
Now what's the alternative badge for active developers?
there is no alternate
you can link your website or your github instead of the badge. i miss the badge as well
Thank you souji, I just was in a bit of a rush this morning and remembered to ask this morning and then yea
Do you know which website lets you preconfigure Component v2 on the web and then export it as code?
Use new Discord components in messages for free and stylize your server however your want.
thanks β€οΈ

Hello I'm Not Understanding I Cant Add a Bot To My Server Can Someone Help Me?
Are you adding the bot scope in your installation link? Is your server maxed out on integrations (50)?
Yeah
Then that part isn't working?
I don't know. You haven't said what's not working. I only could tell you the general troubleshooting steps
π
whoami
hello.world("print")
...
What is discord
Bruh
<@&1050493473033289778> not sure if this is the right ping sorry if this is wrong.
That's the correct ping
it will good if
class hello: world = print
hello.world("print")
the application you using
Yes of cours but you got the point
-# sometimes i dream of saving the world
me too, but never try to save the world π because i'm lazy
Yeah i took some random quote that was oftenly used with that statement
300 parameters AI ahh response
wdym? i dont get it
Me neither honestly
ahhh, ok
I have a very good understanding of how ais work but i have no f*cking idea on how to make one
sometimes having the idea still the brain stop braining
tru
Runtime error: type not declared l34
Line 34: " "
tf, tru
sometimes
total lines of code in the project : 135
and the Python:
File "<tokenize>", line 136
IndentationError: unindent does not match any outer indentation level
Bro counted the boot sector as line 136
although, there are problem in the code "indentation error" but still works idk why
Me when I have 100 spaces of indentation

My lost brother
Yes
makes sense then.

Itβs not about it
i'm not a mind reader
also then there was no need to ping me (or anyone else)
if you got a buildathon related question, just ask it
Can we talk about the bots command here?
this channel is specifically for the buildathon, for general bot and dev questions use the approprate other channels
Hello Developers
Pls where do I get the legitimate discord dev browser link

What's your recommendation to build a discord bot the runs 2-4-7
I mean a hosting site
Too many messages just can't find 1
@grand jetty
<@&1050493473033289778>
Search for them
just wanted to ask if it fine to update the version of the bot, I saw that the testing was done, but I am not sure if my submission was tested #1459274466935836831
Yes! I just double checked and we did test it! Feel free to continue working on it
thank you for the confirmation :D
Np! Sorry I missed your messages in the post

then?
There's no live chat support and moderators are here to moderate DDevs server - not the actual Discord support
okey
Just realised I didnβt add a back button to the activity so people had to restart to play the other modes, why is it always the simplest stuff missed 
Am I a Developer?
Magic 8 Ball Says: Ask again later
Have you ever written code? Have you ever solved a problem through logical thinking? If either are yes, then yes.
π Same. In our case, couldn't edit the Disjoint server once created.
Ig these things iron out with time, in true big products
Afternoon Saad.
@solemn sky this isn't a recruitment server
Sorry, I think I pinged the wrong person
Can someone help me make bots
Help with what, specifically? No recruitment in this server
I need to make bots in a server
Do you know of a programming langauge? Got prior knowledge about programming?
I know of python if u mean that kinda programming language but idk how to do it
Im still learning python in school rn is there any way someone can like make them for me or something i cant do much do to school
Oh ok thx
Being in school is a great time to learn new things. I learned programming and how to make bots while in school. I even took a few classes related to it.
@frozen basalt hi, sorry for the rag. I see you have the buildathon champion title. Am just curious what you have built to win π
Have good day
they mentioned it here: #buildathon-chat message
Yeah I didn't seen that one.. thanks
Hi, there
I can help your bot building
didnt expect this chat to be active after the buildathon LOL
it's the highest channel... it likely the default channel people see when they join... so most of it has little to nothing to do with the buildathon
oh yeah I might move this back down now until we archive it
Anthony are you excited for the DAVEcalypse
Im looking forwards to the DAVEcalypse
but i thought you liked DAVE? why you making fun of him?
I forgot friend classes existed
They are sometimes a horrible decision sometimes a good one
If i was making an application for the end user i wouldnt use them
But since this is a library i need another class to access another ones private functions without the librarys user being able to do that
As the dave handler has to change the encryptors key once the epoch changes
Sooj are you excited for the DAVEcalypse
i'm not the person working on that 
I wonder if people will come here to ask why their bot doesnβt work in vc anymore
Is our event is over?
all submissions have been reviewed and we are just waiting to hear the results
So goddamn excited
- it will be 7pm for me so it's even more doable
fortunately convenient that it starts right after my last class that day so ill be able to watch π
no it clearly says 11pm
We will record it too! So sorry we can't always get events that work for everyones timezone. I've been pushing some of them earlier in my day to make it easier for Europe to attend
@stone falcon
i got it a little better :)
:notlikethis:
how long will it last, as first % will just be formalities making it better(?) for me :))
but i useally wake up at ~12pm anyway, so recording it is!
They'll likely talk about automod commands
one of my fav projects
How do I get ORB for free?
You just have to do quests!
I don't know how to perform the tasks because I'm running the application on my mobile phone and not a computer.
ah looks like quests on mobile is still in beta
That seems π₯Ή
You can open discord.com/app in a webbrowser. It might look a little weird but you can do the quests for watching ads
I've finished the ad-watching missions and I have many other missions, like playing a lot of games.
Well i think most of those games are made for desktop. So even if the quests could run on mobile you would not be able to perform the games required...
ok π₯²
..
@bot.automod("!pet")
async def pet() -> None:
anthony: Member = guild.get_member_named("Anthony")
anthony.pets("cat").pet()
Ooo same here
do you have a components v2 editor for this tho
-# also eww python
and get_member_named is not username and instead nickname... so uh, who is first returned
Wdym?
Nickname > global (display) name > username
writing code boring, interactive fun!
so you are asking for problems, with relying on cache and hoping there arent 2+ people named same thing and user doesn't change their nickname
It's just a dpy extension. You can use any interactive service you like
Sounds Pithonic to me
What happens to buildathon does it finished?
Submissions closed, winners announced the 29th.
Tnx
Small question, am I allowed to use data from users using my bot to fine tune a private version of an AI?
In short, the bot currently uses OpenAI, Gemini and Claude, but I wanna make something fine tuned for it which will be cheaper to run for me.
Note: The bot is currently submitted in the buildathon (which is why I'm asking here). The fine tuned model will not be public or used in the bot until the buildathon results are announced.
Effective date: July 8, 2024

Discord is a place where developers can come to build cool experiences to further the w...
By Discord? So even if the user consented I'm not allowed to? That's nuts
It's also a bit of a broad restriction tbh
Correct. Even with user consent, you are not allowed to use API data to train an AI model
It's intentionally broad
Are there any records of someone who asked and actually got Discord's consent?
It's relatively new, so not that I have heard of. But you're welcome to contact dev support to shoot your shot
You are still using their api to retrieve the data they can impose any kinds of limits on it
Just around 2 days left to the announcement, SO EXCITED! π


Anthony is the DAVEcalypse actually gonna happen on march 1st
I know discord deprecation dates havent been that accurate especially for voice stuff..
deprecation dates are usually not accurate because people are slacking and staff doesn't want to see everything in flames
the word depreciation/Ed makes my mind have PTSD
Is a year off too much?
This ^
If the feature is not losing discord money or performance there is not much reason to rush to remove it.
I mean true
Remind me what DAVE is?
I keep hearing about it but I have no idea what it actually is
Whitepaper for Discord's Audio & Video End-to-End Encryption (DAVE) protocol
DAVEEEEE
buildathlon tomorrow
Gotta stay up late, I guess :wilted_rose:
Idk who are the judges but, since i only have 2 users (which are mine) in the database i guess this is probably because my project has been disqualified or something like this ?
No real way of knowing that
I am interested though, if you got 2 users, where do the 200+ communities with 15 million daily messages, and thousands of downloads on "marketplace empji packs" on the site fome from? 
π
LMAO
Well u probably think u've found something, but yes Sherlock it's not true
Even the company names are not reals
Its placeholder
Everybody lies in their landing page i just choose to lie obviously
I don't realy know who gives a shi about that honestly
makes you immensely trustworthy as a provider of any service whatsoever
Yea everybody gonna look at those number and say π² it looks like it's the one
Litteraly made a /home page to showcase all the feature of the app. I mean yeah u can absolutely talk about something useless, u have free will. I just hope You didn't stop there.
dang
Just fyi, none of us are judges
Just community members pointing out your site looks fishy to us
Take that feedback however you want
I didn't think you were one. I remember you said you weren't.
Yeah very suspicious haha
Bro got offended hard
If u want
Lets just move on
Results tomorrow 
@stone falcon we also wanna have reaction permissions in the server π

Nah, hell nah people will spamm reactions
Results <t:1769709600:R> 
AAAAAA
bro my bot accidently deleted its self LOL
what lmao
Lol
When buildathon results came?
6 hours!!
mhmmmm 2am
Hmm, do I attend this and not work on my research project that I am demoing 1 hour after this event starts? It is unlikely that I make any more progress on this research project in a single hour
it will be recorded
<t:1769709600:R> start the event guys!!

good luck!!
(replied to the wrong message meant to reply to should make slides)

salam
using two screens so I don't lose anything :(
my one issue with stage channels ngl
ggs y'all. Some great projects out there!
Could there be another buildathon this year?
See, I still got 28 minutes until my meeting :3
december
hopefully i can participate next go around... barely had enough time for work this year
HOPEFULLY :3
I'm just hoping if I participate next time I get more than 5 days of development. I kept getting stuck with other stuff I couldn't work on it lol
but happy to see such good projects being made! hope to use some of them for the foreseeable future
holy im late
no, its a time to build things but wasn't a guide per se
many people learned a lot, but that was by doing things and building their projects. you can do that outside the buildathon just as well
Is there any way to see what place we got (first, second etc)?
Okey
there are no places, only the winners and highlighted projects
Anyone able to give me some feedback on my submission 
Can someone guide me and give me a plan to start my career in discord App Development ?
Im currently learning javascript
But is there any way to get information about the project, like how it was etc. Or is it just not available
if you wana make a living from making bots: this is a very saturated market and almost nobody makes money, let alone enough to live off
career?
No not living, man. Just some dollars you know
If you want to learn a lot. Go to https://discord.dev/ and follow the API specs to make a websocket connected bot from scratch
If you want to make a bot quickly, check out https://discordjs.guide/
alright, just making sure you're aware
most are on github I think, you can check them out there
Thank you
Who won
No I meant feedback on my submitted project. If they stored it
They donβt provide that as far as Iβm aware
oh damn i forgot about the event and missed it... what projects were really cool and should i look at!
Ohhh, well alright
torkin
pom
checkpoint dir
tuxsudo
uhh idk the others
Honeypot
was it recorded? really wanted to look at it
nice i think i know most of those listed!
which ones did end up wining!
Most likely
those ones
ohh
It could be a while before it's published however
i thought it was only 3 or smth that could
i see thank you. ah so bad
5 categories with 2 honorable mentions
there was one about like choose your own adventure
3 I thought?
Dungeon Crawler by Music Maker
and honeypot
lol im a little biased towards liking that one
Games, Entertainment, Education, Moderation, Community
3 extras
Ohhhhh
Lmfao I didnβt clock the name π
Was there 3 honorable mentions? I can't count good
can't you click the chat button?
thats a perk for you
congrats
yay
I'll send out a server news shortly with our highlights!
can you right click and mark read?
ah i forgot about that (it was just funny how the ping didnt show normally on server sidebar anyway)
so now... how much time in total did you guys spend on dis one
(i know it was alot lol)
idk I came kinda later and refactored everything
we love
I'll be making private threads to message yall with nitro (1 per person even if you got highlighted multiple times)
congrats! you guys are awesome
ya, congrats everyone, i had some fun days playing with peoples projects!
I missed the stage dang
wins twice and wasnt even there
is discord api down
youre messaging, so no
is it the internet
I thought discord would've notified me on my phone lmaoo
same, i only realised it started... when it just finished π₯
itβs not working on my pc
Idk if it is recorded though
i hear it is
^
Ok cool
now the q is when its released
Now the only thing I really missed was the chat lol
both of you got some high praise
- tuxsudo for being such a nice tool for moderation and making those linux brains happy
- honeypot for being such a great way to moderate servers against spammers (you caught a dev in the crossfire in testing) and good cv2 usage
- checkpoint directory is getting shared internally
woah nice
Ooooh
Thank you!
thx, was really fun using your guys' new stuff too! (ie components v2 and new modal selects)
Yeah it was so cool to see adoption of new components across all of the submissions!!
I definitely learned a lot about the new v2 components. Gotta integrate that into my other discord app. Also apparently the new modal stuff π Unless that hasn't been pushed out yet
modal stuff is very much here, your lib may not be updated tho
Oooh, I'll have to check that out. I might have to update my lib
yay
I'm still waiting for my favorite lib to add new components 
my main goal in discord bot feedback is to shill components v2 lol
oo which one is that
MeowLib
I can't say out loud and pick favorites but they know who they are because I keep bugging them 
lol
does i need real cat to interface correctly
bUt Is DiScOrD jS nOt OfFiCiAl?!?
-# yes i know it's confusing for beginners that it's not... but still funni
Their documentation is so so good
these 2 are at least discord's favs
agreed... that's half the reason i fell in love with it. best docs ive used for anything
I used them to build a bot for a video recently and it was super easy to understand how to build with it
the super easy to use docs in combination with the guide that shows detailed examples and explanations of the concepts... it's just great
i wonder when discord-api-spec will document bitfields, as fully autogenerated lib would be funny
like you get payloads of input and output
sooo
My docs look like a time capsule from the 90βs
but that's on brand
Good lib
I've just been using the discordpy library for my applications, though I've considered the javascript one a few times. I've just stuck with the python one out of familiarity
Can't say I've heard of JDA though
MeowLib even supports DAVE
as of today the implementation is complete
Its called MeowAtDAVE
the best part of dpy is that it handles a lot for you out of the box... command syncing, event listeners, etc... however i think it gets confusing because it has a lot of "python-isms" that are unique to that library and makes support for it more difficult
djs has stuff like that if you use sapphirejs on top of it
but does dave support meowlib
Yes
For MeowLib i tried to make it as simple as possible to use but also very flexible
lol does discordjs voice thing support it yet - i havent used it before or know much about how it works
It does
nice
djs voice was one of the first iirc
but meowlib is better right
glad i chose the right ecosystem that ships fast!
I mean i got dave support pretty much done in 2 weeks?
I got it to play audio in a day or two
Yes, Source: I PR'd it
when is MeowLib on libs.advaith ?
:)
Lol
not if one of us makes a pr for it 
I can't believe you would say such horrendous things
You shivered my timbers
If someone else does that its not something i can really control but i wont be making a pr for it myself
fun fact if you triger automod with attachment it seems to just poof
and also automod takes up a usage in slowmode, but client doesnt realise
automod doesn't process attachments at all
I probably need to do some fixes and make sure it works on windows and then clean up the cmake mess
I hate cmake a lot
ya but i meant the message that tells you that msg was blocked doesnt show if you happen to also have image
Rayos
I've missed the conf but I'm shiny now π thanks a lot for chosing Pom ! Was cool to build something alongside everyone
Dang, I fell asleep
but thank you for the honourable mention 
Iβll be watching the recordings when it comes out!
I will have to look into your projects. I kinda glanced over it at first because I thought it was just a game (and I'm not that into gaming anymore) but the overview it got in the event made me interested.
Congrats to the winners :tada:
π Congrats all!
Hey @stone falcon,
Is there an ETA when people can watch the playback of event?
-# I am sorry if this has been asked, I checked pinned messages but no information so far.
I would like to hear reviews about my apps so yeah
All good! Usually our videos take 2-3 days to go live and I'll make a post about it when it is
Thanks!
congrats yall!
I was actually so surprised I won the game category, I saw https://discord.com/channels/613425648685547541/1458575964568027260 in the submissions and though it was game over for the rest of the competition π π
Lol same i saw sudo and all... but i got an even more intresting category anyway :]]
yooo can we dm you for feedback on our submission (or if it's okay wi you you can post in our thread here too). Would love to know your thoughts
Congrats to all the new winners, bunch more gold statues to fill chat im sure π
π₯
I've benn trying to make my own competitor to DiscordJS focused more on simplicity and ease of use (there are a bunch of small quirks of the library that drive me and my friends up the walls) but DiscordJS is just so damn big that I could never pull it off as a solo developer π
@stone falcon on which platform will the event be posted? (Forgor to watch lmao)
it will be on the ddevs youtube channel, just like other events
Thx π
Congrats on the win @random torrent
Hey π :D
Never seen a discord employee reply to a message
they are very active in this server!
When will <@&1436394722360033280> role removed on all users?
When we do the next buildathon we'll re-use this role but it'll stick around until then!
Oh alright

ooo nice member count
Nice role
@buildathon 2025
hm
So when will be the next buildathon?
They'll do one once a year afaik
Hm...
I'm curious if the next buildathon will be a similar/the same format, it'd be nice to see a little bit of separation between activities and bots with regards to categories
I hope whenever theres a next buildathon its not as broad, instead being provided a general idea of what to create
Would be curious how viable a gamejam-esque approach with a set theme, its definitely a lot harder when constrained to the abilities of the API
When will the <@&1436394722360033280> role removed?
Oh, sorry
They should just give us a couple themes to work around like "space" or "decoration"
Yeah lol
I want teammate or partner for making my bot
What type of bot?
Ok
The event already ended if that's what you're thinking
Universal bot
Nah not the event
wht do you mean by universal?
All in one
doesn't everyone nowadays make that
try catching a niche and making something in that
Yea but mine is little different
hmm
Some hidden cheat code for bot admin and owner
Can ban server from using it
And more
I can't share much info
Hmm isn't it the same thing?
Yea
yea but you asked teammate or partner so i replied with it
Partner seems like temporary partnership
Let's go with teammate
But for now Im going slow as my exams r near so I have to study also
mine starts from 12
This month?
yes
Mine next month 7
oh
So u also make bot?
alot
Can u connect it like to website for dashboard type?
yes
you are hosting dash seperately
Yea let's goo I was looking for a guy like that
Yea no problem with that
hm
Let's talk about bot details in dms or somewhere else
okie
Everyone says that lol
My advise is pick a theme and stick with it. Like community, moderation, or entertainment. Then only add stuff that contributes to that theme
and no "kitchen sink" is not a theme
Restricting your options like that really forces you to get creative and not bloat the features, also helps shave down on development time
LOL
some people like having one bot for everyting. but in my experience those become bots that do a bit of evertying, but none of it particularly well
I'm working on an invite tracker right now, nothing fancy, but I made the choice last night to not add a ban and kick button to the logs because it just doesn't need it. It's convenient, yeah, but I guarantee that every server has like 12 different ways to ban, and it doesn't even benefit my logging at all besides the added risk of permissions and bugs
I will say that kitchen sink are not bad when you are learning. But for a project you intend to host and make public, kitchen sink is not the best
i would say its the worst
Because like, 90% of the "big bots" are kitchen-sink or sim.
i dont see a purpose in a "Jack of all trades; master of none" client. Youre just wasting resources when you could delve into a stronger moderation feature set for example, rather than just a few set commands like /warn /kick /ban etc.
(and most people would prefer that)
I would treat bot projects like any programming project, find something youre missing in a feature set, and make something that fixes it (if possible, even if its something that already exists in another bot)
There was a bot in the buildathon that really caught my eye: #1459267945715732624
There's nothing in the project that is technically impressive by any means, everything in there is fairly easy to build given a few days, but I really love it because it is so niche. Text conversion, resistor ratings, periodic table, various help pages (xy problem, no hello, dont ask to ask, etc.), and quizes for niche topics like 3d moddeling, blockchain, networking, and cyber
I thought we were talking about a literal kitchen sink
π
Wild Anthony spotted lol
Yeah it was really well built! resistor ratings are really useful. I've been on the cusp of doing electronics work forever but I'm always afraid to overload or short parts. Still need to learn them and when I finally do it I'll use FOKON!
I've wanted to get into electronics and really the hardware side for a long time but the entire field is just so daunting and moreso because I'm used to code where you can touch and see the code and how it works, contrasted by hardware where it takes a lot of prayers and luck it seems LMAO
more the opposite is it not
I cant touch my code without smudging up my monitor
There was a book I read a few years back, But How Do It Know. It talked about all the CPU fundamentals and slowly built it up in a very approachable manner. I have never looked at a computer the same way since then β€οΈ
LMAO
Did Anthony read my Buildathon feedback yet? It was a 1010/1010 feedback
-# Binary rating
Did you submit it on the google form?
Yes :D
I think it just gets saved for all staff to see, I remember that same form last buildathon lol
Oooo then all the staffs can see my 1010/1010 feedback
Yeah lol
There are only 10 types of people in the world: those who know binary and those who don't :D
I certainly am neither
Trinary?
Yeah I take all the feedback and we use that to plan future events, buildathons, etc...!
hm makes a bit of sense
Ya but I'm built different
Knock yourself out, everyone here is warning you though lol
real
what are the other 8?
10 in binary notation is 2
yeah, 2 hard to understand
π€ -

So many people I know here
Bot
Heads up: At the end of the week I'll be archiving these Buildathon channels and locking threads so that they're read-only
will the video launch?
π
the buildathon was the friends we made along the way
Lmao
I had a team at the very beginning but they had too many people so I took the walk of shame and left. I then later heard that the group did basically nothing for the first 2 weeks because 2 of the guys disappeared off the face of the earth π
They had a pretty cool idea but I don't think they got anything meaningful unfortunately
Congrats on the winners
Plus the teams it took to get there and hope the friends we made along the way thrive
imma hard disagree here. My bot is a do everything I want, so I don't need ten bots to get things done. I have full customization over how everything works, so I don't have to rely on doing it the way another bot wants me to do it. I can take feedback from my members and implement it instantly if it's good feedback.
I constantly get appreciation from members in my server for how easy it is to use, how much it can do, how consistent everything is across features/commands, and how they don't have to remember which bot to use to do the thing they want to do, etc.
If I want a feature in my server, I just add it to my bot rather than having to find one that does it somewhat acceptably. It's a jack-of-all trades bot, but also a master of all. Just because a bot "does everything" doesn't mean it does them all poorly.
most of what i said applies to/is meant for new bot developers tbf 
Theres definitely edge cases, especially when it comes to private bots, the bots i make (since basically all of them are personal or for friends) are JOAT-adjacent so i understand where youre coming from
I don't have to rely on doing it the way another bot wants me to do it
What :confused:
I can take feedback [...] and implement it instantly...
Yeah, like any other dev would with their bot. I don't know how that has to be specifically to an all-in-one bot though
how they don't have to remember which bot to use
Yeah, surely any/bancommand is different from the built-in one. Maybe one ban command out there gives points for banning or something
Uh-huh, and every other feature goes down when that all-in-one bot goes down :|
can you not randomly ping staff, please?
What π
What's to be confused about? if Bot A decides an output for a command should look a certain way, or give certain info, you're stuck with it. with my own, doing everything, I can make anything look how I want. Not very hard to understand. can also keep every command, and everything across features consistent. Using specialized bots nothing is consistent across them.
Yeah, like any other dev would with their bot. I don't know how that has to be specifically to an all-in-one bot though
Except they don't, lmfao. Have you been to bigger bot support servers? They dont give a flying fudgsicle about how their users want things to be. with my all in one bot, it's mine. I have the power to do it. Big bot dev's do have that power, but they never do anything lol
Yeah, surely any /ban command is different from the built-in one. Maybe one ban command out there gives points for banning or something
uh, yeah they can be very different? You can do so much with a ban command, anything you want. built in one not so much.... other bots not so much.
Uh-huh, and every other feature goes down when that all-in-one bot goes down π
sure, but it's my bot, it's never down. If my host goes down, I localhost till it's back up. My hosting service also rarely ever goes down, and if it does it's for 5 minutes lolUptime (hrs): 688.96
ive opened a can of worms, didnt realize this was much of a hot topic
feel like this conversation should be cut short
kitchen sink boats are a wild topic.
most people are either on board with them to a cult-like degree, or despise them.
there's a few in between, but that's more rare.
I lean more towards despising, personally

I do think there are applications for a kitchen-sink like bot. For example as a gamedev I might want to make one custom bot for my server that's flavored like the lore of the game and have it able to handle anything I need to automate both in the server and to tie the server back to the game (giveaways, sharing player stats, etc...). I might also not trust a 3rd party bot to have admin access in my server in that case. So I can see some use for it but for a general purpose bot made for the public I think I'd want it to be specific with only necessary permissions
Exactly, there's 100% edge cases.
I am the same way... The first bot I ever made was a kitchen sink bot for my server... but we wanted more privacy and control over how it worked (custom logger which forwarded to a different server for admins) ... and over time, it integrated other specialized things for that specific server
I'm actually personally of the opinion of "kitchen sink app, tailored bots" kinda solution. Like almost breaking it up by module. The high permission bots are only linked to modules/services required while the lower bots are tied to other modules and services. Maybe be confusing but there's ways to make the UX a bit more simple
I think there is a big difference between private bots and bots being marketed to the public
true, it's hard to compare them... because private bots will happily reinvent the wheel.. but public bots need to be marketable and unique
I don't even think they need to be unique, personally. just do a job well
That's also true. I just don't think making a blanket statement "all in one bots are bad" is a valid statement. My bot is in three servers, ~12,000 members total, and will never be public for just anyone to use. I constantly get praise over how consistent everything is across all commands and features. Makes everyone's experience so much better when they already know how something will look.
again another blanket statement... but it's also probably fairly likely that the stigma of "all in one bots are bad" is because it's typically people's first bot... and they are just adding features other bots already have
but yes. any bot (regardless of function) can be good if you put a lot of time/effort into consistent UX/UI, high functionality, and suit the needs of that specific server/community... private bots very often can do that because they're not trying to achieve the whole "jack of all trades is a master of none" thing. they know what they want to do, how they want to do it, and how that integrates with other systems
I just don't think making a blanket statement "all in one bots are bad" is a valid statement.
In general (and most cases IMO), they are bad. Mainly because when you have a kitchen sink bot then it performs all jobs subpar...or some other split. It's quite literally splitting time and energy across multiple modules and functionality and they tend to lack in all things in some capacity and struggle in terms of scale because you have to support all things equally but you just can't unless you shell out cash for devs dedicated to those modules. Which is why people tend to break off the kitchen sink solutions as they grow and use fine tuned bots for functionality or custom kitchen sink bots.
I literally removed the kitchen sink bots in one server with 8.5k members and another with 68k members because they're so under performing
Which i did replace with sapphire, which is another "kitchen sink" bot but it has extremely focused functionality with like 8 modules...and 3 of them are related to each other/build off each other...the other 5 are basic in terms of functionality.
and even then I wouldn't consider Sapphire "kitchen sink" compared to like Dyno, carl, probot, mee6, etc.
For context:
- ProBot: 18 modules
- Mee6: 25 modules, minimum (grouping all Web3 into single module)
- Carl: 19 modules
- YAGPDB: 12 modules
- Dyno: 26 modules
Theyre not bad because they're all in one bots. They're just bad bots, that happen to be all in one lmao
It may not be the cause but its certainly an effect
I'd argue a major effect.
-# hold on, mee6 web3??
Can discord bots see if someone has nitro or not?
not without oauth
or like sniffing around for them doing something nitro only but that's completely unreliable
and i'd argue that nitro status is pretty irrelevant to bots
Isn't premium_since an attribute?
not set in user objects outside oauth
Ah this is for boosting
Hmm, I did some research myself and I think I can use user.premium_type.
Not available (anymore) for bots
You need to rely on things like animated avatar, banner etc
Or oauth2 ofc
Oh, alright
Only use I've seen is listing someone's badges, pretty useless in my opinion lol
β€οΈ
jack of all trades, master of none, i like bots with 1-2 things that are really good at those two things
does anyone know how i can make an app free with ai??
What. Like... code one...?
better when they can barely do either
No fair, π
What do you mean by that? Do you want an AI platform to code you a bot?
make a mini home server (old laptop, mini pc, mac mini m1 if you can find one cheap) > install linux (prefrebly fedora or debian) > install openclaw > hook it up with a good coding AI model > set thinking to medium > tell it to build the app in a specfied directory in agent mode
Umm hello there! How are you all I need some technical support anyone can?

Niceee Www
i wanna ask if i can get feedback on #1459274466935836831
I need help @plucky sorrel
with? (pinging the bot won't really help with anything)
Guyss how to make stamina GUI?
