grab.php

[capozzme]

Hi, It looks like the call to grab.php is failing. This is causing the heralds to be set to 0.

Line 1883 ajax('/patreon/grab.php',Game.GrabDataResponse);

Looks like the file is used at http://orteil.dashnet.org/patreon/grab.php?nocache=1647903804809

I think if you had a new repository with ozah/patreon and put the grab.php there it could work.

contents of grab.php

[ozh]

I imagine the returned content of this call varies at some point ? If so, there's nothing that can be done to really mirror it

Looks like heralds is always harcoded to 41

https://cookieclicker.fandom.com/wiki/Heralds

Trivia The herald count is currently hard-coded to be at 41 in the browser version: /patreon/grab.php. It is therefore incongruent with the number of patrons with the herald tier at the Dashnet Patreon page. However, in the Steam version of the game, the maximum number of heralds is increased to 100. As stated above, the amount of heralds is calculated by dividing the number of players currently playing the game by 100. It is currently unknown as to the reason for this difference,

[ozh]

So, it seems that the solution to this is :

• modify that line 1883 to return a hard coded value such as the one you describe
• update the "How to update" section of the README to explain that change and that future updates should check if http://orteil.dashnet.org/patreon/grab.php has changed its return

Pull Request anyone?

[Lugixion]

Hey! I checked this problem and downloading the grab.php file would be enough and that would make it easier if it gets uptaded, can I just pull request it or it has to be hard coded?

Pull request welcome !
