Pinned a message.

I was wondering, how do I install chathud? I've looked around but find nothing

there is a settings .txt file somewhere easily findable Add a line with "channel:(yourchannel)" ^ be careful to syntax, just do like other lines, because I forgot how it looked Twitch icon will appear in emotracker and you can right click to activate it (edited)

It's not something you install, so much as just setting a config option as detailed in #faq

ohh nice

08:00

ohh nice I just found it in #faq thanks ^^

I know I've asked this before, and I can't seem to find the pinned info on it, if it was pinned. But what was the way to get chat animations to work? I think it was !hud rain name_of_image. But where does the image need to be? And are only a certain type of image allowed?

They must be a .png and must be saved in Documents\EmoTracker\extensions\twitch_chat_hud\images\

Thanks a bunch

How do you whitelist people for chathud?

it's in #faq scroll up a couple of screens

09:06

or down, not sure where you start

So I had chathud working a number of months ago, and it for whatever reason stopped working. I have since done a fresh install of emotracker, and it still doesn't work. I mentioned it to emo a few weeks back and was told its just broken for some people? im wondering if this is still the case, or if there is something else that I can try

11:46

ive checked faq and everything is in place for it to be working

Thtr

11:56

That's still the case

11:56

For example, it works perfectly for me right now (just tested)

ok thanks for getting back to me

11:57

such an off phenomenon

11:57

odd*

probably a case of blametwitch zfgAnyway

It's incredibly bizarre

13:58

I wish I could explain it

Just checking, you just add your twitch channel to the application settings (That makes emotracker appear in your chat) and then you right click on the twitch icon and click connect and it's theoretically supposed to work right?

Theoretically

Was just making sure there weren't steps I was missing

13:46

I made this for myself and a stream I mod, but expanded it to be more comprehensive and general in case other people could use it.

@Blazor If you load up Ninban's pack, hit the

00:55

... Advanced -> Export Overrides -> items.json -> Export Overrides, then

-> Advanced -> Open Override Folder, open items.json and the stuff in the codes section of each item is what you'd be looking for. Then, using the syntax format shown in examples in the above diagram should do the thing.

@AniMeiKao i love that image. i wish there was one for OoT since i mod a few streams and track that way. excellent work.

@VenCorbin Your question is literally answered by me above.

09:33

You just need to find whatever the file is within the pack that contains the item definitions.

theres an image for it just like the one above? thats what i was commenting about here. i just like the graphic is all.

No. I don’t believe such an image exists. You asked in #general how to find the codes. That’s explained above for Ninban’s Z3M3 pack. The process to find the codes for any pack is the same, just that the file name may differ. (edited)

Thank you @VenCorbin ! I could make one for OoT as I made a template I could adapt to it if people are interested I can look into it.

For those who use Hamsda's OoT Tracker Pack: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/155T1Yg3a6T3MRyJVQnNtxvtYDis4KEC4cIfjxfVBFvI/edit?usp=sharing I created a Google sheet filled with a large majority of the ChatHUD commands (the shortest variations are listed)

Hi, I followed the instructions in faq trying to add chat hud for the oot package and it says connected. but none of the commands seem to be working? any help is appreciated (edited)

Are you sure you're typing in the commands correctly?

16:49

Should be !hud <itemname>

i checked with the oot tracker pack in above message and tried differences with pauses and caps etc

16:52

i was entering for example !hud bow

There have been intermittent reports of this in the past. I’ve never been able to reproduce it, and I’ve only ever been able to track it down to, potentially, some issue on the twitch side. You might want to try with my LTTP pack as a sanity check, but beyond that disconnecting and reconnecting may work eventually.

Ok thanks. ill try reinstalling etc as well. thanks anyway

Sorry I don’t have better news for you - it literally just doesn’t work for some people some of the time, and we’ve never been able to identify a pattern.

That's ok. I'll let you know if i ever discover the issue

Thanks, I am always appreciative of any and all potentially helpful info and reports on this

@ShootMeImGinger One thing I'd make sure of is that your twitch username in the application_settings.json file is all lowercase. Any capital letters & it will result in it not working, even when it appears to connect properly. (Twitch's backcode essentially works in all lowercase when in comes to usernames) My friend had this issue recently & once he made his username lower in that file. It started working properly (edited)

This is interesting and new information to me. If this resolves it for you, please let me know.

Interesting, I tried using chathud a few days ago and it wasn't working for me, and I have my twitch name with capitalization too. Trying to test offline and the bot isn't joining my chat, does it only work if your stream is live?

No, it should connect regardless.

apparently I just had to step away for a while, it's there now. Confirmed it only works with an all-lowercase username

18:08

as soon as I changed it and restarted emotracker and reconnected it started working

18:08

odd, it previously worked with my name in title case

@Raizuto_Gaming Yep that fixed the issue. Thanks man (edited)

Although just so you know some of the commands appear to not work. i went through all of them with the oot items only package and most worked. just occasional ones didn't

@ShootMeImGinger what pack? Not every OoT Pack has the same chathud codes. I only know Hamsda's pack stuff since I assisted with optimizing his pack for chathud commands.

ah ok it is the raikaru and atz one

Is there a list anywhere for what the !bud command will understand?

There's a list of commands in #faq. The item codes are pack dependent and can be found in the item json(s) for the pack you're using.

It's the "name" variable from the Json? (edited)

No, it's the "codes" variable.

14:20

You'll also see some items have multiple codes separated by commas. Each code will work for the same item. For example, !hud silverarrows has the same effect as !hud silvers in Emo's pack. (edited)

I have put thought in the past into a command that will list available codes, but the output of such a thing - while useful - is not always intuitive, sadly.

My solution was to include a text file in the pack download with all the item codes, but that's probably a lot easier for me since the Resident Evil rando is comparatively small to stuff like Zelda

Out of curiosity, would I be able to change the "default permissions" line in user_permissions.json to something like "default_permissions": "Subscriber" in order to give subs permission to use Chathud by default?

Yes

Thanks. That seemed like the intuitive way to do it, but when you're futzing with code, sometimes things are less than intuitive.

Does chathud support Keysanity? Not finding anything about how to add small / big keys in any of the pinned messages or #faq, and typing in intuitive-seeming commands (e.g. "!hud ep bk" or "!hud ep bigkey" or "!hud bigkey ep") doesn't seem to do anything.

iirc, the keys don't have secondary tags, so I think it would be something like !hud epbigkey. If you look at the items.json (by making an override, for example) you can see the item codes

The key names in Emo's pack aren't as intuitive for chathud since they include underscores. So dp_bigkey, toh_smallkey etc.

Ahh, that's right

Okay, that works.

If anyone's ever curious about any of the item codes used for chathud, have a look in the item jsons for the pack. The "codes" field is what chathud uses to identify items. e.g.

{ "name": "Desert Palace Big Key", "type": "toggle", "img": "images/BigKey.png", "codes": "dp_bigkey" },

Okay, it took some doing to figure out which json file was the right one. Found it.

ya'll are some amazing people
