It's not that hard to guess what the structure of the config looks like by just having a look at the code. Let's have a look for any occurrences of the config in Ark's code.

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

OK, so there is an array called 'list'.

player.name.toLowerCase() == config.list[i].name.toLowerCase()) {

The items in that array have a property called 'name' which we know is a string since it's being compared to one here.

'Found: '+ player.name + ' : ' + config.list[i].type);

The items also have a property called 'type' which is most likely also a string.

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

There is another array called 'portals'.

update.newObjects[k].objectType == config.portals[i].id

The items in that array have a property called 'id' which we know is a number since its being compared to one here.

' Found: ' + config.portals[i].name);

The items also have a property called 'name' which is most likely a string.

Putting all of this information together, we can guess that the config looks something like this

{
    "list": [
        {
            "name": "Eendi",
            "type": "Cool players"
        },
        {
            "name": "Oshyu",
            "type": "Fame Trainers"
        },
        {
            "name": "You get the idea",
            "type": "I hope"
        }
    ],
    "portals": [
        {
            "id": 81942,
            "name": "Ice Tomb Portal"
        },
        {
            "id": 23879423,
            "name": "Cave of a Thousand Treasures"
        }
    ]
}

You wont believe how close i was to making it.
Anyway got it up and running thank you so much both @ArkMods and @Killer Be Killed

Last thing where can i find every portal static id? I know its probably in the xml file, just dont know wich one

nrelay uses the Objects.json file instead of the Objects.xml file and it will automatically download the latest one when it runs so you should already have it. If you search that file for the term

"Class": "Portal"

You will be able to see all portals. The id field in the config file should correspond to the "type" field in the Objects.json file. For example the Ice tomb portal has a "type" of 0x7fb8

One useful thing about TypeScript (and many other languages) is that using a hexadecimal literal as a number is fine. So you can put "0x7fb8" right into the config file instead of converting it to a decimal number first.

i keep getting this error [18:30:47 | PluginManager] TypeError: Cannot read property 'toLowerCase' of null
on this line of code

if (player.name != '' && player.name.toLowerCase() == config.list[i].name.toLowerCase()){

why is it giving me null values instead of just an empty string?


it is tracking my accounts, but it's also giving me that error

[Fabi0wZ1]

for now i will have to use without .toLowerCase but it's kinda hard if someone has a hidden realmeye and i dont know which letters in their name is caps locked and wich ones are not, whenever someone can help me i appreciate it

cause you're not checking if it's null, null isn't hte same as a empty string, and empty string is still a string, not a null value.

Check it for null not an empty string

if (player.name != null && player.name.toLowerCase() == config.list[i].name.toLowerCase())
{
}

would probably do what you want.

[ArkMods]

When you process the data from new objects => IPlayerData if the object is not a player <IPlayerData>.name will be an empty string.
