If i was receiving that i could then determine how to handle it, but i get nothing whatsoever. I am not connected to the group chat because it seems to me it was moved to the regular server, as i can SEND whispers from it, is the RECIEVE on a different server by chance? Possibly there is a setting within mIRC that is blocking the whisper from showing in the status window? Is it even supposed to come through the status window, or possibly directly from #jtv like hosts do? No clue what im doing wrong here.
It’s better to post your relevant listening code, as more often than not there’s somebody here who has written a bot in the language you’re using and can help troubleshoot the exact issue location. There was a mirc script floating around to parse twitch chat messages + whispers a while ago, not sure where it went, but it’s probably available via search.
listening code? i have none, because i have not received anything i have no clue on how to handle the incoming message, i planned to explore that once i receive a whisper.
language = msl
output code =
/raw PRIVMSG #jtv :/w XuserX XmessageX
produces in the status window
[05/26 16:05] -> Server: PRIVMSG #jtv :/w almightysoul this is a test
recieved via twitch website whisper to almightysoul “this is a test”
i assumed it would be apparent that that is what im doing, sending is working fine, receiving is what im trying to accomplish
/raw PRIVMSG #jtv :/w almightysoul this is a test
produces in the status window
[05/26 16:05] -> Server: PRIVMSG #jtv :/w almightysoul this is a test
recieved via twitch website whisper to almightysoul “this is a test”
this particular discussion is how to capture a message that is sent (received) by the console. I am not getting anything in the console. This is what i am trying to accomplish. If i can receive the code specified
thank you for asking, no i do not, was an interesting question, as i had set up the bot account and never checked the default, but no, i have nothing blocked. I spoke with a dev friend of mine, whom i wish had more time for personal ventures and he referenced a “raw logger”. could this be what was previously mentioned as “listening code”? would this potentially make a difference? all the references ive seen mention a whisper coming right through to the status window, with no mention of a logger.
I haven’t done anything with whispers yet myself, as my bot hasn’t needed it, but I did some research on this a few months ago, and at the time, I believe there was a different cluster of servers for whispers than from normal chat (I think the “group” chat servers?).
But I think this all changed since the switch to AWS. Can anyone else on this thread confirm/deny?
My suggestion would be to use the recently implemented ON PARSELINE event to work with the raw data. You can type “/help on parseline” into mIRC to get more information on it. Good luck!
@Almightysoul Please explain how you were able to accomplish listening to whispers. I am able to send them but have no idea how to recieve them even what is said above is a little confusing to me. I am trying to recieve whispers using PircBot.
Sorry, i failed to report once my problem was solved. Thanks to this forum, heres the process.
i have the following cap requests enabled
/CAP REQ :twitch.tv/membership
/CAP REQ :twitch.tv/tags
/CAP REQ :twitch.tv/commands
then, this command opens a new debug window that the whispers will come through on.
/debug @raw
i have yet to try to analyze the information that comes through in this window.
