Text that shouldn't be there about discord-text-adventure-bot HOT 18 CLOSED

Interesting. I can include some regex to clear those out, but I've never seen this before. This looks like Zork; are you using a special version of Zork?

from discord-text-adventure-bot.

Yeah, it's Zork. I don't believe it's a special version. It's the .z5 from here:

http://ifdb.tads.org/viewgame?id=0dbnusxunq7fw5ro

It's working in terminal with dfrotz without the extra @ stuff.

from discord-text-adventure-bot.

Hmm, yeah, let me see if I can reproduce this with this file.

from discord-text-adventure-bot.

So, this is what I see with the latest version of the bot, and the Zork 1 .z5 file from that link you sent. I can't reproduce the issue.

What's your setup? OS version? dfrotz version? discord-frotz version?

from discord-text-adventure-bot.

Was there any other steps you took that might cause it to start outputting that stuff?

from discord-text-adventure-bot.

I don't think I did anything too crazy, but I'm not real confident working with Linux (easily may have done something wrong). I'm running "Linux Mint 18.2 Sonya" (32bit, cinnamon version), in a VM (Oracle VM VirtualBox), from http://www.osboxes.org/linux-mint/

node v6.11.3
dfrotz v2.44
discord-frotz 0.12.2

from discord-text-adventure-bot.

Huh, I have no idea what's up. Do you start seeing those weird @ messages as soon as you start playing Zork, or does it happen after a few commands?

from discord-text-adventure-bot.

Right from the start

Googled and played around a bit, I see what it's doing but not why.

If you do:
dfrotz -o zork1.z5

It does the same thing. "Watch object movement" it's calling it.

Edit: Maybe something weird happened in the make process, a debug setting or something because I don't know what I'm doing?

from discord-text-adventure-bot.

So, this is the line that actually spawns the dfrotz process:

this.game.child = spawn('dfrotz', ["-m", gameConfig.path]);

The only thing we're passing it is -m (other than the path to the game file) so that the output is easier to read.

from discord-text-adventure-bot.

Using -m gave me the object stuff too, doesn't without

Can you try to use this branch of the code to run your bot?

To use the branch instead of the version you npm i -g installed, use the following steps:

1. Uninstall the global bot with npm remove -g discord-frotz
2. Clone the repo into a temporary place with git clone https://github.com/aeolingamenfel/discord-text-adventure-bot.git
3. cd into the new folder and checkout the bad-output branch with git checkout bad-output
4. Install node deps npm i
5. Link the command globally by running npm link
6. go to wherever you have your discord-frotz.config.json file and run discord-frotz and see if you're still seeing it

Let me know how that goes. I changed the flag on that branch to use a different dfrotz flag for plaintext.

from discord-text-adventure-bot.

Haha, might have been easier to just change that one letter manually. (Especially since I don't have git installed in there, I downloaded the zip from the site.)

It works, I don't see anything out of place.

Really curious what -m means, dfrotz doesn't seem to mention it.

from discord-text-adventure-bot.

Ha, that's fair. It was literally a single char change lol. I'm not 100% sure either, actually. I believe @TheSofox was the one that found that switch. It seems fine to just use the -p switch instead though, so I'm going to clean up the code a little and release a new version with that switch instead of the -m version.

from discord-text-adventure-bot.

Sounds good!

from discord-text-adventure-bot.

Alright, I just deployed v0.12.3 of the bot (which includes that update) to NPM. Go ahead and update however you want, and let me know if the bot works as intended. It seems to be working fine on my end.

If so, I'll close this issue! Also, thank you for finding this issue!

from discord-text-adventure-bot.

Yep, still all good~

Thanks for the instructions btw, I would have had trouble there (despite downloading it differently).

from discord-text-adventure-bot.

Absolutely! I figured I'd err on the side of caution and outline it in case you weren't familiar with some of the stuff to do.

And cool, if you see it again, feel free to open this issue again. For now, I'm gonna close it.
