What I'm trying to do: I have an on_message event for a 'global chat' command that I have created. This would send messages to any server that was in the json, currently supporting images, multiple lines of text, and custom emojis (as long as the bot shared a server with said emoji).
My problem: As you can see in the image above, one person, 'S o u p', has their profile picture replaced with a duck emoji. For context's sake, their avatar is not that of a duck emoji. However, if you were to look at the most recent message, the profile picture is shown. I believe that the problem lies in the size of the message.author's avatar. The PIL library may be a good solution, but I do not want to save the image.
Code I have tried:
avatar_bytes = await message.author.avatar_url.read()
guildem = client.get_guild(738285544911405107)
try:
em = await guildem.create_custom_emoji(name=f'{message.author.name}', image=avatar_bytes)
except:
em = ''
The code above is the one I had used in the image example I had provided.
avatar = message.author.avatar_url_as(size=128) # resize avatar
avatar_bytes = await avatar.read() # then read as bytes?
Above code gives exact same results. Avatars are turned into duck emojis.
Others I have looked at:
- How to crop an image to a shape for eg. circle using Pillow in Discord.py?: Messages did not send when using the code here. I assumed that using the PIL library would help reduce the file size significantly one way or the other without saving the image.
- How to reduce the image file size using PIL: All the answers required saving the image, which I do not want to do. I tried tweaking the code a little bit, but caused all avatars to be turned into duck emojis.
If necessary, I will include the entire on_message event. However, this does not feel relevant nor necessary to include since the emojis are only a small portion of said event.
Edit: Here is the code to the entire on_message event.
@client.event
async def on_message(message):
if message.author == client.user: # stop bot from replying to self
return
else:
if not message.guild: # prevent errors when messaging in bot dm's
return
f = open("global text.json") # existing json
