Error: Cannot read property '1' of null

Hey, I'm having an issue getting the sample.js file working. I've converted the es6 modules to node requires, I've pulled the latest schema from here, am using the app id and hash from the dev console, and fixed the function typo on line 38. Unfortunately I'm getting the following:

/Users/jeremy/telegram/telegram-js/node_modules/telegram-tl-node/lib/builder/constructor-builder.js:137
            var typeName = type[1];
                               ^

My node version is v6.10.0. Any possible ideas? Kind thanks

check schema.js and replace "#" to "string" and "flags.0?" to "string"

Thanks! But I gave it a try and am still getting the same error.

I think is because TL introduced new syntax definitions, like dependant types, that weren't there a while ago. This is unlikely to be supported by telegram-tl-node engine.
It has to be implemented in the underlying libraries to make it available, but I wouldn't go that way. This library is rather old and poorly written.
