DeepBot - Using Widgets Interchangeably
« on: November 14, 2016, 07:32:19 AM »
I found and followed this guide for what I wanted to do:
http://deepbot.deep.sg/forums/index.php?topic=4984.0

Some backstory so that it is clear what I am trying to do...

I have recently been streaming Pokemon. You have up to 6 Pokemon in a party at any given time. I would like to display the gifs of the 6 current Pokemon I have in my party via chat commands. Obviously, I turned to the widgets with commands on DeepBot to do this (but if somebody has a better way, I'm all ears). I am able to select which Pokemon I want displayed by having the @target@ fill out the URL location for the image as follows:
http://imgur.com/a/uiBG7

The URL I have been able to successfully use for my widget would therefore be:
http://deepbot.tv/widgets/ImagePanel.htm?dur=100&panel=Party1&w=140&h=140

When I type "!party1 [pkmn name here]", the command will tell the widget to read the gif at www xxxxxx com/pkmn/[pkmn name here].gif as I would want it to, and display it at the URL above this paragraph. I then have my CRL source on my XSplit pull it and display it on my stream. 

There are two problems I have. 1) I cannot seem to get an infinite duration so that the image will stay there forever. One workaround was setting it to a ridiculous amount (i.e. 10000000000). This lead to problem 2) I want to be able to change it by reentering my command with a different @target@. It would successfully do this, but it would only do the new .gif after the duration I entered for the previous ran out, so I can't have it be a super high amount.

Figuring this out would be spectacular, as I've been looking for a way to do this without finding a developer who could create such an IRC application for me that can do this. DeepBot seems so close to being able to do it, perhaps somebody more knowledgeable about the url code or DeepBot program can help me. Thanks ahead of time for any support!

I would just use OBS Remote. It would be easier to enable/disable image sources if you want to keep the image active.

Well, the problem with that specifically is there are 800+ image files to cycle between, double that for alternate versions, and then I need that in 6-8 spots on the screen. That's an absurd amount of command set up. 
 
And while this shouldn't be part of the argument: I use XSplit as well.

Duration was already in the URL... and it does appear to be that number in seconds, not milliseconds. Once more, the problem is that I want it to appear forever, or at least pseudo-forever. That's the first problem, which the only way I knew to work around was by making it an excessively large number that it'd never reach. The second is that if I make it appear pseudo-forever with a large duration, then it won't swap the image until that first duration is over. I have hundreds of images that I'd like to be able to call back and forth between each other via command at random durations throughout the stream.

I understand but widgets are pop-ups on stream. They are not meant to be there on-screen forever. I recommended OBS Remote for this reason.
