PLA-Live-Map

Flask application that displays live information on an interactive map for Pokemon Legends: Arceus.

PLA-Live-Map uses sysbot-base to connect to the switch, and this must be installed on your console

How to run:

1. Install requirements pip install -r requirements.txt
2. Copy-paste config.json.template and rename to config.json
3. Edit the IP field to contain your switch's IP
4. Run main.py python3 ./main.py
5. Open http://localhost:8080/ in your browser
6. Select your current map

Troubleshooting

• What does FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'config.json' mean?

  • This error means the script could not find your config file in the directory its being run, make sure youre running the script from cmd in the project's directory, and that you've actually renamed config.json.template to config.json.

• I'm getting ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'requests' even though the pip install command runs fine!

  • Make sure that you do not have multiple python versions installed, and DO NOT USE THE WINDOWS STORE PYTHON. You can uninstall versions by searching "Uninstall" in your windows search bar and selecting "Add or remove program".

• Windows tells me Python was not found; run without arguments to install form the Microsoft Store... but I thought we didnt want windows store python?

  • Windows does this whenever it cant detect an already installed version and you try to use python, you can disable this by typing "Manage app execution aliases" in your windows search bar and deselecting python and python3.

• The script is telling me TimeoutError: timed out, what does this mean?

  • This error is a general connection error, common causes include:
    • The ip in your config.json is not your switch's actual ip.
    • The switch is not connected to the same internet as your pc.
    • Your internet connection is failing.

• When I click on a marker I get binascii.Error: Odd-length string

  • This error means that sysbot-base gave the script bad data, the cause of this is typically trying to read from memory (this happens when you click on a marker) while its already doing an action. Do not click any markers until the script is done doing whatever action its doing (you can see the progress in the terminal/cmd).
  • If this happens once, it may cause sysbot-base to get stuck, to fix this you can restart the script and your console.

• What does ConnectionAbortedError mean?

  • This error happens when something caused the connection to the switch to abruptly stop, make sure your switch and pc are still connected to the internet, and restart the script.

• Nothing is advancing correctly! or Every marker has the same generator seed! or The near shiny button makes a marker green but its way past the limit I have set?

  • If you've gotten to this point it means that your pc can connect to your switch, and that sysbot-base is able to send information to your pc. The most common causes of these issues are another program running on the switch that accesses memory. Make sure to not have programs like Edizon or CaptureSight running while you are trying to rng (Edizon might be accessing memory by default if its installed, so it may be best to uninstall it.)
  • Also make sure you do not have a mass outbreak active on your map if you are trying to rng a non mass outbreak, this will cause the group ids to be shifted and things will not advance properly.
  • Lastly, make sure your game is on the latest version (1.0.2) as the pointers used are specific to this version.
