Help/Support / How to reference users in Bot commands?
« on: August 08, 2017, 06:04:41 AM »
Hi,
How can I reference a user in a bot command output message? Such as "Hello <user>"?
I've tried {user} and <user>... not sure if this is possible?
It'd be fun to have a game like this for viewers where they can "talk" with the bot.

Help/Support / Trouble with 2nd account setup
« on: August 25, 2015, 03:01:14 PM »
Back in the day,
Deep setup me up for two streams:
Couchtalkwithgamergirls
and
DirectorGunner
With respective bots:
lovemebot
and
DirectorBot
I stopped doing the couch talk show,
and have been tryin to use DeepBot again on DirectorGunner / DirectorBot and once I got it connected to both the bot channel and the stream, the chatting from within the bot doesn't work... And also Deep offered at one point a higher level membership in the beta for extra features... does he still do this?
Thanks for the help ahead of time!

Help/Support / Re: Deepbot crashing at startup
« on: July 28, 2015, 01:49:59 PM »
Thank you, I've backed up those 4 files.
And I also tried the run as admin on the update.exe.
I went digging and couldn't find the original install exe... I think I'm one of the first beta testers where Deep just messaged me on twitch with a zip file with all the app contents... I THINK... not sure.
What should I do?
Thank you for the support!

Help/Support / Deepbot crashing at startup
« on: July 28, 2015, 06:13:23 AM »
Hi,
I haven't used DeepBot in a while,
it's on the same computer it's always been on.
Running update.exe brings up the DeepBot Update progress bar but nothing happens...
it doesn't update.
And when attempting to run DeepBot it will always crash.
What can I do to fix this?
Thank you

Hi Deep!
Long time no speak,
I'd like to vouch for twitch.tv group League of Hunnies.
I'm producing their youtube videos soon and their leader's twitch.tv channel is:
http://www.twitch.tv/nancyytran
I told them your bot is the best around and it worked great for my webshow (it's on hiatus right now) Couch Talk with Gamer Girls.
Would you be willing to let them test it?
The leader usually has a min of 100 live viewers at any given time.
She's signed up on the forum here as user nancytran.
Wish you all the success in the world!
Kind Regards,
David

Feature Requests / Re: Bankheisting other deepbot streams
« on: December 12, 2013, 03:59:42 PM »
I see lots of fights and yelling as a result of fellow deepbot users who have less viewers and therein a less of an advantage. But for two corroborating streams it sounds like a nice idea. But it would be very distracting to the viewers AND it can cause the larger stream to syphon the smaller streams viewers (nonregulars) into the bigger stream... which isn't cool imo for the smaller stream.

Implemented / Re: Song Request
« on: December 12, 2013, 03:54:58 PM »Alright guys - I will be working on building a YouTube player within DeepBot.
Features would be:
+ Integration with !song to display current song title
+ Allow users to request songs (Streamer can choose to attach a currency cost to this)
+ Allow streamers to load YouTube playlists and shuffle
+ A screen to see the current playlist and the actual video with an option to switch to fullscreen
To be able to support playlists, can I get a few example playlists that you guys are using?
That is pure genius! Excited to see it in action

Feature Requests / Re: New competition options, duel and another points - very long post
« on: November 28, 2013, 10:39:40 PM »
The duel idea i'd say is pretty cool, would be a lot to handle if 100 viewers did it at the same time I would think but would be cool non the less. That's essentially a minigame that viewers in chat could do. Which I think is a good idea.
I think that raffles based on viewer hours or chat activity may be a better way to go, with chat activity being the best route to gage viewer activity.. and those who would abuse it to get ahead can be easily timed out/banned.
Ideally you want to maximize current features to full usage potential, opening a completely new system apart from the current currency I'd say is a waste as a viewer and as a producer. I'd say use the currency, but maybe have two ticket amount caps, one for everyone and one for the most active. This would allow your most active viewers a better chance at the raffle. So no matter how much credits someone had.. they won't be able to use them all if they aren't active. This way the only feature that is added is another cap that uses additional math and some modification of the first cap. Would solve the inactive "TITAN" viewers advantage problem and maybe encourage more chat activity and individual viewer watch hours.
Economics, try different incentives and find what works best to achieve the desired results.
P.S.
What I did is just give massive inflation and then massive deflation.
The difference between our top fans and the newer fans is so drastic (millions compared to hundreds/thousands) that it gives this humbling effect to new comers.. it's weird but happens. They then make personal goals (usually) to beat those top fans in points. And in the same regard.. a top fan can lose a million points in one bet... I saw it happen the other day... but then he donated and got all his points back... which helps the stream out tremendously. Plus large numbers make people FEEL good. So every once in a while I make it rain points... just depends on the stream. Then when the time comes for a raffle, if I want everyone to have a fair chance... I just make the raffle ticker per user cap at about 3 tickets... that way a big point wallet viewer can't hog a ton of tickets. Anyway, hope this helps.

Feature Requests / Re: Max Points Value for Viewers
« on: November 28, 2013, 10:23:09 PM »
Our stream is a little different, the viewers that would ever hit the point cap would still come and watch regardless. But I could definitely be just fine without a point cap and have my site do that automatically. Just an idea putting it out there. As far as your post, I read it over. I'll comment on your thread about my thoughts.

Feature Requests / Max Points Value for Viewers
« on: November 25, 2013, 07:08:46 PM »
Just an idea,
I thought it would be useful if the point system had a MAX value variable so that no viewer could earn more than a set amount of points.
Uses:
To keep things fair for new viewers
To match any kind of future integration with a website CAP (eg MyCred)
btw, here's the code for anyone who uses MyCred on their wordpress website who wants a point cap, just add to your functions.php file for your theme in use (just replace 500000000 with whatever you want your cap set at) provided that the author doesn't include this on an update sometime in the future:
And just because it'd be another feature that no one else is doing for their Twitch.TV chat bot loyalty point system.

if ( $reply !== true ) return $reply;
// Cap
$cap = 500000000;
// Get user id from the request
$user_id = (int) $request['user_id'];
// Get current balance
$current_balance = $mycred->get_users_cred( $user_id, $request['type'] );
// If we have reached the cap deny this transaction
if ( $current_balance >= $cap ) return false;
// The amount the user would gain in this transaction
$amount = $reqest['amount'];
// get what the new balance would be
$new_balance = $current_balance + $amount;
// if this bring us over the cap, only add enough to reach the cap
if ( $new_balance > $cap ) {
$over = $new_balance - $cap;
// Add points now
$mycred->update_user_balance( $user_id, $over );
// Returns "done"
return 'done';
}
// Transaction is ok, let myCRED add

Feature Requests / Viewer Analytics
« on: November 25, 2013, 06:56:53 PM »
Thank you so much for adding the new Total users in Database field in the bot Experts!
I would like to make a suggestion with it's own thread here.
It would be amazing, if there were a kind of Analytics reporting feature built into DeepBot.
The purpose of seeing:
#1 watch time of viewers (more than just overall average)
#2 what viewers are doing (eg when do they show up and leave)
Eg a viewers per hour chart, or maybe a dot chart with Y representing minutes watched and X representing hour of stream and each dot representing a user.
Any way to extrapolate data that can be used to improve one's stream.
Just putting the idea out there
Thank you for an incredible and indispensable tool!

Feature Requests / Re: New Donation Alert Utility
« on: November 13, 2013, 01:48:43 AM »
I'm interested, I was thinking about doing a redcross charity donation stream this weekend for the disaster relief for the Philippines. I have a VPS (for our website) which might help if there's a way to allow validation through our site for our stream. I have no idea, but this stuff seems pretty cool and would love to try it!
Random thought: Would be cool if there was like a little cheer wav file and an animation gif or something whenever someone donates.. streamer choose-able assets for alert display/sound... would be crazy cool lol.

« on: November 13, 2013, 01:34:19 AM »
Hi Experts,
I completely understand!! And I deeply appreciate you taking the time to read all that. I wrote a novel, lol. I'm more than happy to stick with this and wait to see how things unfold. I don't remember if I mentioned it but I discovered that MyCRED plugin for wordpress actually has a built in API. So with an output/input template csv or xml or txt file from DeepBot, I could probably find a developer from a freelance site to make a plugin/program to take the file and then do the work to transfer the data. I also got a code snippet from the MyCRED developer to make the points system on the website have a MAX limit.. eg to not go past the 2,147,483,647 ;P DeepBot limit. Not that anyone would easily get there but still, better safe then sorry.
Really excited to see how things go! And we're gonna support ya as best we can! Your tool is the reason why our chat is so much fun, without it... well.. we'd have a lot more boobie comments and a much lower viewer retention rate lol.

Feature Requests / The future of live streaming on Twitch.tv - integration & user engagement
« on: November 08, 2013, 08:28:54 AM »
Hi,
I've talked with Experts about this idea and I'm so excited to see if/how/when it gets implemented!
So before I go into specifics who here has a website associated with their stream and if so how do you use your website in tandem with your stream in terms of audience retention/engagement?
Our stream is Couch Talk with Gamer Girls and we use the website (www.couchtalkwithgamergirls.com) as a means to give viewers more to do after the stream that is fun. eg use points earned from bets and watching stream to bid or buy things in the website shop and also play games with goal of winning high scores for earning more points and bragging rights.
Okay so here's the idea.
The bot stores your data from the stream (eg usernames, points balance per player, hours watched etc) locally (at this point). Now if an output function was implemented using a template format for maybe a CSV file we could upload data into the stream after broadcast.
Eg CSV data per line: username, points, hours watched, sub or no sub, etc etc
and before a broadcast (I could hire a developer to make this type of plugin for us) we will output the same format from our website (lock the website points system until stream is over) and place that file in the bot directory and the bot would implement the changes to the point balance per player.
Now here's where we take these ideas to the next level (I haven't talked to experts about these yet):
There could be an additional column of data added to each viewer in this template to show if they are a verified website user or not.. if they are then special raffles can be done for just website users. Why do this? This would give incentive to have many of your viewers (on the fence of deciding to sign up on your website) to actually sign up on your website so they can participate in the special raffles and contests. Now wouldn't that be awesome?
Here's another idea.. as a website owner, if you approach companies or are approached by companies for advertising opportunities, your impressions and access to viewer data means EVERYTHING. What I learned from VidCon2013 in Anaheim California is that for content creators like us, a newsletter is incredibly important. And the larger your user database in your newsletter (either mailchimp or whatever, eg MyMail wordpress plugin) the greater value your brand has in potential reach since you have a means to directly contact your viewers (since YouTube doesn't share your subscriber emails with you... yet). Anyways long story short... if you had a newsletter, there could be another column in the bot's user data template to check if user is subscribed to your newsletter or not and you could do custom raffles just for newsletter subscribers (if experts allowed) which would give incentive more so to signup for your newsletter.
The overall idea of ALL of this is to maximize your monetizing potential while giving your fans more than the average joe stream in terms of pure fun and awesomeness! And in order to maximize your monetizing potential (since we live in a free world where you can't really make people do things.. we're not robots) you need to come up with powerful incentives to get the desired responses / actions from your audience so it's a WIN WIN for all parties. Basic economics.
Okay.. here's even a bigger (and more expensive in terms of 3rd party development) idea that would be even higher levels of awesomeness! Instead of my previous idea of integration where you manually stop your website point system... if the plugin that's made has an API... Experts BOT (better named as the world's best twitch.tv semi-automated chat assistant) could directly connect to your website from the computer you're using to run his chat assistant to allow nearly no interruption to user activity on your website which would allow them to still earn/spend points via the website when you're live. Why do this? let's say a viewer is desperate to join a raffle but doesn't have enough points.. the user could immediately go to your website and donate / buy points which would then automatically update to Expert's chat assistant at whatever set interval you have updates set to. This would revolutionize the way content creators use twitch.tv and save up a lot of manual work time which could then be used to focus on providing your viewers an even greater experience.
This is all VERY possible... and can be an incentive for Experts to implement for a subscription if streamers catch on to my proposal.
My proposal can be done rather easily for developing the website plugin if:
#1 You have a private wordpress website (not a wordpress.com one but an actually fully installed one on your own host)
#2 You are using MyCred as your point system on your wordpress website
#3 You are using a newsletter plugin like MyMail
If we all use these 3 factors... I can easily get a special addon made for MyCred that works with Expert's chat assistant through an API. And for security the addon can have an IP address lock to only allow your streaming computer to connect to the addon incase someone managed to get your API code.
Expert's, let me know what you think. I'll help fund as much as I can depending on how much I'm able to raise to fund this.
Everyone, please feel free to contact me and/or please feel encouraged to reply with your ideas as well on this overall topic.
