haxball.js's Issues

DOMException [InvalidStateError]: RTCDataChannel.readyState is not 'open'

I'm running a 24/7 room with haxball.js and once in a while I get this error when a player leaves the room.

DOMException [InvalidStateError]: RTCDataChannel.readyState is not 'open'

I've also encountered this error without the last line (at Set.forEach (<anonymous>)).
I want to say it has had an impact on the server once, introducing some bugs related to moving players to teams, but I'm not 100% sure as I can't recreate the error message.

App console looks like real time console

Hello, can we receive data from an input in the application running on the operating system console and send it to the game console?

Actually, what I really want is for the system console to work just like the Google Chrome console.

setPlayerChatFilter don't work

I am trying to implement this, which this does is filtering every message starting with ! but I can't do that due to the function not being recognized, is there any other way to do this?

  room.setPlayerChatFilter((player: any, message: string) => {
    // If the message starts with !, filter it out of the global chat
    if (message.startsWith("!")) {
      return "";
    }
    // Otherwise, allow the message to be shown in the global chat
    return message;
  });

GetPlayerList returning Promise

Hey,

First of all thanks for this package! I used to use haxball-server-nodejs which just simply made it possible to run my room on NodeJS but sadly they stopped developing their package and it sometimes causes my rooms to crash. So now I'm trying this one, but I'm not sure I understand it all correctly. Excuse my possible bad understanding of it, but I'm not a native js developer ^^

So I tried to convert my code to the way your package works, which means instead of
room.onPlayerChat = function(player, message) { blabla }
I now have
room.on("onPlayerChat", = function(player, message) { blabla });

That all seems to work fine.
But in my old code I used to loop over the players like this:
players = room.getPlayerList();
for(let player of players) { blabla }
But I'm not sure how to do that with your package. Tried some things but I think the problem is it returns a Promise? Does this mean this simple loop is no longer possible? Hope I'm missing something!

Thanks in advance,
Immers

getAddrInfo

Hi,

I had opened a topic before, but since I was on break, I couldn't respond clearly. I opened a topic again in the attachment. After a while, the rooms I open with the module give the attached error and explode.

Can't create a room with proxy

Hi, I'm trying to create a room with a private proxy but I'm failing, here is my code and the error:

var room = HBInit({
    roomName: 'Test Room',
    maxPlayers: 16,
    debug: true,
    proxy: 'http://209.99.129.239:6227:login:password'
});

I get the following error:

Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 209.99.129.239:80

The port I specified (6227) is not the same as the port in the error message (80), what should I do?

Don't know how to reproduce it.

using proxy ip/overcoming ip limitations

hey mertushka,
as you know, there is limitation of 2 rooms per ip.

i'm running 9 rooms now and I use proxy ip's assigned to browser (old style using selenium) and I run 2 rooms per ip.

i'm wordering, how can i achieve running more than 2 rooms with haxball.js?

is IP discovered during webrtc connection init?
maybe there is a way to spoof the IP in headless script so that we can overcome this restriction? or at least make a way for webrtc to use proxy IP?

Room never comes up when I add "proxy" parameter to HBInit

As the title suggests, the room never gets created after I add proxy parameter to HBInit as it is mentioned in the docs. I've tried multiple proxy IPs. To be more precise, I don't receive any errors or anything after running node room.js there's just a blank output, waiting for something to happen, but nothing does (I've waited for more than 10 mins, or more).

Please note that if I remove just the proxy parameter, then the room comes up online and everything works perfectly. Well done creating this package by the way!

Random SIGSEGV

This problem is old, and I don't really want to investigate it and try some time consuming things to fix it because I'm not really bothered of it.

Around a half of a year ago I've launched a room with the haxball.js under the hood and the app was crashing randomly, and some time later I've noticed by accident the "SIGSEGV" error inside a logs of my apps launcher, pm2.
Specifically:
"/home/username/.pm2/pm2.log"
2023-02-25T18:07:02: PM2 log: App [hax-host:4] exited with code [0] via signal [SIGSEGV]

Then from this article I've found the problem is probably because of this module that is being used by haxball.js, and since I was using nodejs v16 I've switched to nodejs v14 because it's listed here. Sadly this did not fix the problem, but it seems to be better

Approximately, with a nodejs 16.15.0 I had 4 crashes in 4 months, and with a nodejs 14.21.3 I had 2 crashes in 3.5 months. The crashes are seems to be happening only when the room is being played, not when the room is empty.
The room activity, approximately, is 10+ people, 6+ hours a day, and the last months activity is definitely higher than it was in first months, so I guess if I'll switch back to node v16 I'll probably get more crashes than it was when there was less activity. Maybe, or maybe not, idk

I think that I could try to use another versions of node, or maybe try another JavaScript runtimes (deno, bun), or another linux build or distribution, but this crashes are so rare, this might take a years to debug this problem in that way. The problem is still annoying though

cat /etc/os-release output:

PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="10"
VERSION="10 (buster)"
VERSION_CODENAME=buster

room.setRequireCaptcha is not a function

I think this function is necessary to prevent indiscriminate access.

Is there a way to access this function?

Exceptions not outputted in some roomObject functions

Exceptions are not outputted in some roomObject functions.
Example of correct exception output (room.onRoomLink):

const HaxballJS = require("haxball.js");

HaxballJS.then((HBInit) => {
  const room = HBInit({
    public: false,
    token: "thr1.AAAAAGRnQzBMDYP3KqP38w.-sErfHVd6Pw"
  });
  room.onRoomLink = function (link) {
    console.log(link);
    throw('test')
  };
});

Output:

/Users/jjuszk/projects/recreate/room.js:13
    throw('test')
    ^
test

Example of incorrect exception output (room.onPlayerChat):

const HaxballJS = require("haxball.js");

HaxballJS.then((HBInit) => {
  const room = HBInit({
    public: false,
    token: "thr1.AAAAAGRnQzBMDYP3KqP38w.-sErfHVd6Pw"
  });
  room.onPlayerChat = (player, msg) => {
    throw('test')
  }
  room.onRoomLink = function (link) {
    console.log(link);
  };
});

Result:

<when typing in the room, getting Disconnected: Connection Closed>
<nothing logged in console>

It's also not working correctly for room.onPlayerJoin, did not test others, but will do, to find discrepancies.

Env:

$ node --version
v18.16.0

Tested on node16, node18, node19, node20.

New Event/Function Added

Hello,
Basro has included a new function in the Headless API, namely the onTeamsLockChange function I suggested.
I tried to use it in my script in haxball.js but it doesn't work, while with the code directly launched in the browser console it works, so I guess there needs to be a little update on that for haxball.js too.

Do you know what this error could be? Happens when I call this function in onPlayerJoin:

function startGame(victory, player) { // Serve para Mover os players para os times corretos
    const players = room.getPlayerList()

    if (victory) {

        room.stopGame()


        if (players.length >= 6) {
            const playersSpec = room.getPlayerList().filter(p => p.team === 0)
            const playersPlaying = room.getPlayerList().filter(p => p.team !== 0)

            for (let i = 0; i < playersSpec.length; i++) {

                if (playersPlaying.length === 0) {
                    if (i <= 9) {
                        const team = (i % 2) + 1
                        room.setPlayerTeam(playersSpec[i].id, team)
                    }
                } else if (playersPlaying.length === 1) {
                    if (i <= 8) {
                        const team = (i % 2) + 1
                        room.setPlayerTeam(playersSpec[i].id, team)
                    }
                }
            }

            room.startGame()
        } else {

Hi,

After a certain time, it gives an error like this and terminates the application. What could be the reason for this?

Hi bro, can you solve this problem?

form.append(null, new File([room.stopRecording()], `HBReplay-${RecSistem.getCustomDate()}.hbr2`, { type: "text/plain" }));
