Error when I try to getMapObjects with radius >50 about pokemongo-api

[enayfuos]

@dnsBlah it's fixed, it was a problem with the encryption library, I recompile it and now it works.. Thanks for help.

[dmadisetti]

Not able to replicate? Going to guess it does't have to do with radius

[enayfuos]

Yes, it's more about the response that i get when looking for nearest pokemons.
Inside the parseDefault(), the length of res.returns is 1: ['']

I don't know if it's about the encryption. Cause I didn't use the encrypt.dll..

[dnsBlah]

using the .so its doing fine.
I'm guessing its a matter of throttling the server with your requests

I'm currently also not ALWAYS finding pokemons. But I'm using radius 10.
But I do find that a 'big' delay is required.

Please put time.sleep(10) before you request mapobjects

On the status_code 3 I just reauthenticate and it goes on without a problem

[ciol06]

(using ubuntu 16LTS) same thing for me: radius = 49 is ok but with 50 i get this error, related to unknown 6 (!!!):

Other strange thing: with radius=40, I didnt find any pokemon, trying many locations/times...

[enayfuos]

@dnsBlah I'll try to put the sleep.

I'm using the .dll cause i'm under windows, but I will test this on Linux with the .so.

Thanks for help.

[dnsBlah]

Why using such a big radius anyways ?
I'm using 10 and it finds up to like... 196 forts, ok.. im wondering around in Tokyo.. but still
10 is a pretty big radius

[enayfuos]

When I use less than 50 I didn't get any pokémon... even if there are many around me. It's the same thing with @ciol06...

@ciol06 Did you use the encryption file? Where did you put it?

[dnsBlah]

@enayfuos For me it's quite random. With radius like... 10 I can see around.. 120 pokestops, in public crowded and attractive area.
The same area with radius 50, sees nothing
with 49 it does, like @ciol06 mentioned

However! This might be complete random, as I have the same issue with 10 once a while.
Thankfully I'm not exiting my script when it doesn't find anything, but keeps looping.

Eventually it just finds the pokemons and stops near, and starts playing.

This might take up like... 15 times? 15 * 10 seconds + 15 * +/- 3 seconds ( a few minutes )

[enayfuos]

@dnsBlah You have the chance to have the possibilitie to see pokestops and pokemons. Our problem is that we can't see anything :D => 0 pokémons and 0 pokéstops even if I'm near of 5 pokestops...

[dnsBlah]

Thats exactly an issue, ain't it ;-D
Again, I find it complete random.

Please do a loop around it for like ... i dont know, test it with 30 times in a row ?
It might be possible that it suddenly does see objects.

Just now after 15 loops I did receive objects back..

[enayfuos]

Yes that can be an issue... :D I'll do a loop until I get something.

[dnsBlah]

Just let us know, I'm still fiddling around with the threshold/cooldown and radius
radius 25, gives me 600+ pokestops ;-D

So again, I don't see why you need 50 :D

[enayfuos]

I tried 50 cause I got nothing with less, I was adding 10 to radius each time and when arrived to 50 it crashed.. I'll try with 20 and loop in few hours..

[dnsBlah]

-_- I'm just keeping focussed on a big area.
I downscaled my radius to 9 now.
And finding pokestops within a distance of +/- 1000m
Find below.

p.s. these are not ordered yet.

[dnsBlah]

@enayfuos Any results when looping and sleeping?

[enayfuos]

@dnsBlah I'll test it now.

[enayfuos]

@dnsBlah I looped with a sleep(5) each time before searching pokemons.
Returned values that I appends are:
[None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None] :/
