Politely Request Clarification on New Config

[nu11s3c]

"CAPTURE": { "CATCH_POKEMON": true, "MIN_FAILED_ATTEMPTS_BEFORE_USING_BERRY": 3, "MAX_CATCH_ATTEMPTS": 15, "USE_POKEBALL_IF_PERCENT": 15, "USE_GREATBALL_IF_PERCENT": 15, "USE_ULTRABALL_IF_PERCENT": 15, "USE_MASTERBALL": false

How do these new percentages work? I've toyed with several different settings and haven't had luck teasing out the logic.

According to my understanding, if capture probability is greater than "USE_POKEBALL_IF_PERCENT" then pokeball will be used. Same goes for other balls. Also, balls are prioritized in this order : pokeballs > greatball > ultraball.

The bot still uses pokeballs für a probability of 11%...feature not working?

One solution to this is to keep MIN_POKEBALLS = 0. Farm items before you start bot. That way you have only Great Ball and above depending on your level.

[q32103940]

based on the fact that berries and pokeballs are so abundant, set berry to 0 so you always use a berry whenever you have it. you dont even need to reserve much space for berries. 5-10 is fine.

this will maximize your likelihood of being able to use the lowest ball whenever possible (pokeball hopefully).

@filpet,

~~I believe you are correct... this feature is not working~~

Fixed as of last night never mind,

Higher % means that ball will be used first...

"USE_POKEBALL_IF_PERCENT": 15,
"USE_GREATBALL_IF_PERCENT": 15,
"USE_ULTRABALL_IF_PERCENT": 15,
"USE_MASTERBALL": false

this setup will ONLY use pokeballs

"USE_POKEBALL_IF_PERCENT": 65,
"USE_GREATBALL_IF_PERCENT": 35,
"USE_ULTRABALL_IF_PERCENT": 15,
"USE_MASTERBALL": false

This will use pokeballs until 35.1%~ then great balls if it is under 35.1%! until 15.1% Then Untra balls for everything else I believe this ir right... Unless I am reversing something

and NEVER master balls because dear god why...

@HibikiFox this is wrong unfortunately

it will check like follows pokeball -> greatball -> ultraball:

• check if probability to catch with current ball is above setting
  • if yes, use ball
  • if no, check next ball

@destiny117 if this is the case, then the feature does not currently work. Using the default config 15,15,15 the bot only uses Pokeballs. I can confirm this per experience.

[mhofer117]

@FendleTruck are you sure, did you see it use a pokeball when the chance was below 15% ? are you running on the develop branch? for me it works as it should atm

[FendleTruck]

@destiny117 Ah... I my mistake. I'm using master branch.

[stolencatkarma]

try setting it to 85 instead of 15. this will try to use the ball that has at least a 85% chance of success. you can catch anything with a 15% chance with a regular pokeball so the better ones never get used.
