Character Limit on Posts limits bots

[Baconchicken42]

as of March 22, 2016 I was working on a new addition to @EmoBot. If you're ever in &xkcd you'll probably know what it is. Anyways, the code for it is super long. So the character limit blocks out most of it, even though the code is still there and @BotBot can still read it and create the bot. However, today I found that one of the new things I added wasn't working. I added a !test command at the end of the code, and that didn't work either. Is there another character limit that stops the post entirely, is this a botbot issue, or something else entirely? Any help would be appreciated.

Messages are truncated to 4096 characters except when submitting one or using the get-message command; those are limited to 1MiB of UTF-8. @BotBot was specifically patched to support long messages (https://github.com/ArkaneMoose/BotBot/pull/27)... but all that was way after this issue, so it is probably obsolete.

Why am I getting this email now, and not at any of the myriad other times i put in botbot code that got truncated?

To quote myself, [Xyzzy] /me is meanwhile going through the Euphoria issues and commenting on them

Ok then

To my knowledge, any code shorter than one 1 MiB should be accepted by BotBot because BotBot uses Euphoria's get-message API to retrieve the non-truncated version of the message. (This has been implemented since ArkaneMoose/BotBot@7d1ec15.) However, the code may still appear to be truncated in the Euphoria interface. (I tested this in &bots just now, and it appears to be working; code that was truncated was correctly handled.)

...Just as I pointed out above. :smile:

Aside from all that, I vote to close this issue.

[ArkaneMoose]

Yep, sorry. I also vote to close.

[kaliumxyz]

Xyzzers pl0x close.

[CylonicRaider]

...I fear that is beyond my power... @logan pl0x?

[Baconchicken42]

while i'm in this email thread, I vote to close as well, I guess?

Actually, you might be able to close it as well, @Baconchicken42.

[Baconchicken42]

What do you mean?

Hot? Hot? I want to be here!

[kaliumxyz]

You can close your own issues.

[totallyhuman]

You gotta get to the website though. You can't do it via email.

[kaliumxyz]

unlike in real life.

[CylonicRaider]

@Baconchicken42, if you care to log in to GitHub, you should be able to close the issue from the button in the comment box.

[Baconchicken42]

You know, I forgot entirely that I even opened this. Funnily enough the problem was that I forgot a parenthese and I fixed it a while ago.

[totallyhuman]

Hooray! We did it, &xkcd!

[CylonicRaider]

Quick poll, should Euphoria have embedded emoji replies? :laughing:

[mechanical-girl]

Yay us!

[Baconchicken42]

Yay!

In addition, should those accumulate into “karma” points displayed on a user's profile?

[totallyhuman]

You'd have to implement profile pages as well, though.

Killjoy! :-1:

EDIT: By all means, if you can, do it. I'm not one to discourage a cool feature based on the amount of work somebody else has to put into it.

[kaliumxyz]

Just give everyone a score, I encourage said score to be based on.... some post count and emoji usage metric.

[totallyhuman]

Or slang ^memes usage.

[CylonicRaider]

This thread keeps giving and giving. :laughing:

[totallyhuman]

Wait a minute... can you call this a thread?

[CylonicRaider]

Yes, this is an oldschool forum thread.

[totallyhuman]

In that case, threading was boring.
