I need help.

While the original tweet is this the output to IRC is truncated and is:
(Transfer News Live) @ManUtd The fee for Romelu Lukaku could rise to £100m. £75m up front. £15m add ons plus £10m for Wayne Rooney. (Sou… https://t.co/muBXg7kc5B

Notice the (Sou... ) part...

How can I change it and fix it please?

Thanks

Mine does a similar thing - maybe it is a hangover from when Twitter used to restrict the number of characters per-tweet?
Just a thought though & I may be be totally wrong...

OAuth failed error

2019-08-03T22:28:48-04:00

Hi all
Have been using the Birdy TCL script without issues for a long time now, but for the last week or so it's been returning this error in the partyline:

[02:24:30] OAuth failed: (???) Unknown problem... No reason given...( timeout )

Just wondering if anyone has/is having a similar issue?

Thanks in advance!

Can you elaborate how to do this?

Regarding the truncated tweet: Updating the script to use extended tweet mode may solve that: https://dev.twitter.com/overview/api/up ... -to-tweets

You'd need to find wherever it is making the HTTP requests to retrieve tweets and pass an additional argument of "tweet_mode=extended". The key in the tweet status then becomes "full_text" rather than "text", so you'd have to update that as well.

Regarding showing tweets of a particular user: You could set up a twitter account and follow the one user. Then any twitter script that outputs statuses as they come in on the timeline would probably work for you.

Is it possible to show all the tweets of a particular user and parse them when he tweets?
I'm looking for a script just to send a message to a chan when a particular user tweets

Did that and got a couple errors, heh.
http://paste.tclhelp.net/?id=ib6

I'm not familiar with that command that the pastebin thinks is an error, and I haven't looked it up.

But, for the heck of it, I copy-n-pasted from that pastebin, into nano, and saved.

Made no edits.

For what it is worth....
That script loaded fine in a bot of mine. No crash.

The same program I've used for years, Notepad++.

So it is not likely that the problem is with the editor introducing something unwanted.

If you wish, pastebin the faulty script here:
http://paste.tclhelp.net/

and post the link to it here. Maybe somebody here can spot it.
Maybe the pastebin itself will point you to the error.

Something came to mind...

I assume you are editing these script files, according to the directions in them, to configure them.

How do you go about that?
What are you using to edit them?

Yup, that's the whole message (which really confuses me). I tried commenting out the line already (in fact, I have to do that to even start the bot).
If the eggdrop.conf got the following 4 lines, it won't start (showing the error above)

Code:

source scripts/sha1.tclsource scripts/base64.tclsource scripts/oauth.tclsource scripts/twitter.tcl

Commenting it out

Code:

source scripts/sha1.tclsource scripts/base64.tclsource scripts/oauth.tcl#source scripts/twitter.tcl

lets the bot start normally.

Just tried re-adding (uncommenting) the line, did a .restart on partyline and that resulted in

Code:

[14:44:57]  [14:44:54] Tcl error in file 'eggdrop.conf':[14:44:57]  [14:44:54] invalid command name "[14:44:57]  [14:44:54] * CONFIG FILE NOT LOADED (NOT FOUND, OR ERROR)

again (strangely enough, in the partyline there's some hyphen-like symbol (which won't copy/paste properly over here) after the " in invalid command name " ). That can be seen here

Is that the whole crash message?

Also, examine eggdrop.conf carefully. (Have you recently made an edit to it? )
Do you have a line with just a " on it? As in perhaps a typo or accidental carriage return cause a " to move down a line?

It would be easy to prove that the problem is or is not in that script file.
Simply comment out the source line that loads it.

If your bot will then run normally, then the problem is either in that script file (and I think you'd see more in the crash message) or in the source line that tries to load it.

If the problem persists, then you know it is nothing to do with that script file or the line that loads it.

Really weird thing happening to my bot for the last couple days. Whenever I want to start it with the twitter.tcl loaded, I'm getting the following error:

Code:

[10:58:54] Tcl error in file 'eggdrop.conf':[10:58:54] invalid command name "[10:58:54] * CONFIG FILE NOT LOADED (NOT FOUND, OR ERROR)

I have no idea what exactly broke in the .tcl file (I redownloaded it already but without any luck of it working again).
