How to multiple server connections at the same time

[MTRNord]

Hi I want to have the client connected to multiple servers without writing the hole handling stuff all over again. Are there any ways to do so?

[del6597]

The current implementation handles 1 server per client created. If you create another client in your code, then you'll have two bots connected to two servers.

@del6597 yeah that did I see but how can I make that both clients can use the same function? Is this in any way possible?

@MTRNord You could just make your own addListener function that iterates your list of clients and adds the listener function to each of your clients.

Something like this maybe:

var client1 = Client(...);
var client2 = Client(...);
var clients = [client1, client2];

function addListener(event, callback) {
  clients.forEach(function(client) {
    client.addListener(event, callback);
  });
}

@jirwin i will try that :) thanks for the idea

@jirwin seems to work but hackint.org is sadly kicking the bot sometimes with "quit: Excess Flood" :/

[jirwin]

@MTRNord try enabling the floodControl option in the config.

@jirwin that seems to help :) hopefully i can speed up the forEach. it slows the bot extremly down

[jirwin]

@MTRNord do you have a code snippet you can share? I wouldn't expect things to slow dow much(other than flood control doing its thing)

this is my code for the bot. I know that there are also other things that are slowing the bot down.

Closing this.
