Hi! I have recently added Nightbot to my chat and it's the BEST I absolutely love it and so does my community. Thank you devs!
So I looked through cool things to make Nightbot do and one of them was making it use emotes. All these tutorials were understandably for Twitch but since, just like Twitch, YouTube uses text-code based emotes, I thought it would still work. It does not. On Twitch if you write Kappa on the Nightbot it will get replaced by the emote in the chat but on YouTube if you do the same, it comes back in text.
In case this might help to figure out why it doesn't work, all the text-codes have ":" before and after.
Example:
:yougotthis: which corresponds to this emote:
:virtualhug: which corresponds to this emote:
:popcorn-yellow-striped-smile: which corresponds to this emote:
So yeah instead of the text-code getting replaced by the corresponding emote image it stays in the text-code form.
Could this be a YouTube issue or maybe it's fixable through the Nightbot?
Thank you for your time,
Seamphony
