tools RENcounter counter for linux/windows/mac

[rengaret]

I was pissed of that none of encounter works properly for linux so after yesterdays coding session I introduce you:
RENcounter counter running on linux (I have to test it on steam deck), will work on windows and mac.
Code will be available on github for self compiling.

I also will setup the automatic builds for Windows/Mac/Linux.

source code

I will be using this from now on, GEC lags my game too much and Archetype can never scan the pokemon properly.

Thank you!

Dang, that is harsh towards the Archetype Counter. lol. All good.

 

I would argue this encounter counter could potentially be the best on the market being cross platform and all, but it needs to master the mulit-language and reliable aspect. Agreed, GEC lags the crap out of the game and Archetype has definitely gone through its trouble days with not properly picking up names. To be fair, it has always tracked "total" counts just fine. I would implore you to try the "testing" branch as I am almost complete with a brand new version 🙂 

 

But I would be curious of your mileage with this particular encounter counter 😉 

 

Differences with Archetype Counter:

- Not an actual application. It is a PowerShell script wrapped/disguised to look like a real built application.

- Built only for Windows 10/11.

- Completely portable built in mind - does not require any additional downloads.

Right now I'm having some issues with this encounter counter. Sometimes it doesn't scan full hordes. For example it says I encountered 4 onix but in reality it is a 5x horde.

Ok, I've been testing it and this same case happened to me, but it's not something to die for. I think that for 1 untold encounter, at least in the long run we will have an estimate in the end and in the end everything is relative. I hope it gets fixed when it can

I guess I want to leave a little criticism/experience with this counter:

 

In the case of not being multi-language, you could simply choose to simplify it, we don't need a nice interfast XD The mere fact that it works for me, who has Windows 7 and a PC as a toaster, is amazing It's seriously incredible please keep updating ❤️

[rengaret]

Thank you for the feedback. Yes, it happens to me from time to time as well. It is because I didn't tweak AI model with Pokemon names. 
I think that for every 30k encounters, I miss like 100-400. I can increase the chance of correctness but that would have impact on CPU usage (performance of your PC). 
The other issue is sometimes it makes mistakes in mons name like recognizing mankev instead of mankey.

Let's keep posting issues. I need your feedback to improve it :)

Oh yeah I forgot, there are 3 modes ( you can change them by pressing the letter T)
- Runaway
- Safari
- Exp
The difference is in the timing screenshots of your screen and recognition ( Safari mode probably will have impact on performance). 
You can check which is better

Another thing I noticed is that if ever you are watching a stream or a video of someone playing pokemmo then it will count the streamers or videos encounters

Hey i am a complete noob to mac and I am trying to get this to run on my mac because i desperately want a fuctional auto encounter for mac, but I cannot for the life of me figure out what im doing. I installed rust, and then i went to the app store and installed xcode. Then i couldnt figure out what cloning repository was, but i opened the xcode app and saw a "clone git repository" and clicked that and it opened this window:

I had no idea what to do with this but i continued anyways and opened terminal and entered the command you said to: "git clone github.com/rengare/rencounter_counter
cd rencounter_counter
cargo run --release"
then it ran and worked (i think? it showed no errors and like looked like it was doing all kinds of stuff) 
then it asked me to give permission to record my screen or something so i allowed it, then it restarted and looked like this

idk where im supposed to go from here. When i get to this step:

I just get lost bc there is no executable that i can find in the rencounter foloder that i can open as the app in these instructions, i just see:

again, i am a complete noob when it comes to mac, and computer language too ig so idk if im doing something wrong or what. Any help on finding this app would be appreciated!!

@schmelu
Sorry for late update.
Macos was broken for a while but yesterday I fixed it. 
Grab latest mac arm version https://github.com/rengare/rencounter_counter/releases
Download to `Download` folder.
Extract the zip
Open terminal app and enter

Double click on the app

 

cd ~/Download/rencounter && ./rencounter_counter

I also added a window tracker to encounter so it doesn't matter what app is up front, it still tracks game window.
I'm trying to fix opening by double mouse click fixed

[rengaret]

@BlueWhoop that is now fixed, I implemented a game window tracking mechanism. 

[rengaret]

29 Aug 2024 Update:
- Encounter detects if game is running, if not then it closes with error
- double click on Macos and Windows fixed
The Windows version should include everything to run the encounter
- game window track added (now it doesn't matter if ie. browser is on top)
- new screenshot library added (should be faster now)
- debug option under `d` key: when in debug mode, encounter takes a screenshot and saves it to the folder. It is helpful to see what is on the screen and the reason why something doesn't work.

Gracias por pensar en los usarios de Linux, lo descargue y segui las instrucciones (los descargue, puse los archivos en la ubicacion del juego y lo corrie desde la terminal) pero no funciona, falle en algo.

@LoopsLonder 
I'll take a look tomorrow and fix the issue, you are on kde right?
Oh and I see that you are using Spanish language, and have 'Nv.'. I'm looking for 'Lv.' text. Tomorrow I'll add it to the config

@LoopsLonder 
its fixed

04 Sep 2024 Update:

• spanish text detection for word 'lv.'
• when encounter does not find a window, it tries to find it again, if it still can't find it then throws an error and exit the app.
• intel core m3 throws error -> it is because of the AI engine I'm using, will try to fix it
  Plans
• I'm working on integrating better UI -> https://slint.dev/ (depends on available time)
• run the engine in a separate thread so the UI is not frozen

 

as always the newest build is located here https://github.com/rengare/rencounter_counter/releases
