How does this work in the backend?

[Hunter2809]

Hi there!

I want to know, as to how does the backend code works. Like, if I select only, manage server and manage messages permissions, how will it calculate them? What's the code for each permission, and how does permission selection works?

Thanks in advance!!

@AraHaan you there?

Well it's been a long time since I last update it but the ones currently in should still work, just lacks the newer permissions from discord.

And how it works is it takes the numbers generated by the api to calculate the permissions. So the values internally are hard coded in as shown in https://github.com/AraHaanOrg/DiscordCalc/blob/master/DiscordCalc/permissionscalc.py. I use eval with the actual hex values to convert them to normal ints.

Also see https://discordapi.com/permissions.html for all of the values as well to check which ones are already in.

Alright I just updated them to add missing permissions added since the original time this was made.
