Outdated Game Titles

[fcaps]

Hey,
i was looking to fetch some live battles data from the api, but the battle-titles are mostly "outdated" showing "EU1 - 055" and similar, can be seen on the website.

When pulling the data locally via the SpringClient all titles are correct. I think we are missing a update message that has the new title, or we have to flush the state from time to time to get a new one from the server.

Can someone provide me a botaccount (so i dont have to impersonate the chubby client), or can push me in the right direction?

... found the missing message as i was writing this:

The server dispatches a "non-standard" event named "s.battle.update_lobby_title" here in theory we could add a TeiserverExtension to the SpringLobbyClient, but i am not totally sure about all of this.

Cheers

we could add a TeiserverExtension to the SpringLobbyClient

Yes, that's the fix for bar-db.

I found another issue with the battles, same thing a custom event "s.battle.queue_status ", so the question is how can we fix it without too much effort till tachyon takes over.

I found 3 possible solutions:

1. Tap the socket here in this repo (listening and mapping).
2. PR at SLUTS repo to include the teiserver extensions
3. PR at SLUTS to allow custom extensions (so that we can register them here)

All do have pros and cons, but i tend to quick and dirty tapping it here and rip out later.
Downsides:

• consuming the messages again (but this could be used for all teiserver extensions)
• no other project using SLUTS will benefit from it

Something like that:

 this.lobbyClient.socket.on("data", (buffer) => {
      const messages = buffer.toString("utf8").split("\n").filter(Boolean);
      for (const msg of messages) {
          if (msg.startsWith("s.battle.update_lobby_title ")) {
              const args = msg.slice("s.battle.update_lobby_title ".length);
              const tabIndex = args.indexOf("\t");
              const battleId = parseInt(args.slice(0, tabIndex));
              const newTitle = args.slice(tabIndex + 1);
              const battle = this.battles[battleId];
              if (battle) {
                  battle.title = newTitle;
                  this.onBattleUpdate.dispatch();
              }
          }
      }
  });

@p2004a what would you and @Jazcash prefer?

I can write the PR and do some testing, but you are the maintainers and have more insights about the future.

PS: who to ask for bot-account to run the bar-db locally with the prod teiserver?
