Modifying Bot Code

1. In utils.js add these lines at the top of the file;

var fs = require('fs');
var path = require('path');

2. In utils.js replace t.getCardsInSets function with the following;

t.getCardsInSets = (callback) => {
    fs.readFile(path.join(__dirname,'.','set_data.json'), 'utf8', (err,data) => {
        if (err) {
            callback(err);
        }
        callback(null, JSON.parse(data));
    });
};

3. Place your set_data.json in the directory along with the bot files.
4. You're good to go! Your bot should now work again with correct set data!

Notes

• Script may take 30 minutes or more to complete on a slow connection!
• set_data.json is only provided once the script completes.
• Adjust reqLimit to change the speed of the script (warning below).

var reqLimit = 25; // Max simultaneous requests

• Setting reqLimit too high on a slow connection will possibly result in the script getting stuck and never completing, or even crashing, setting it too high on a fast connection may also get you rate-limited by Steam!
