Archetype Counter is a PowerShell WinForm script for the online video game PokeMMO.

Automatically tracks encounters (Horde, Safari, etc.) and when you receive Eggs or Fossils.

Does not hook into the PokeMMO or javaw process. Utilizes ImageMagick and OCR technology.

Useful for shiny hunting or metrics lovers. Feel like exploring? Give our client theme a try.

Open 'DEBUG' folder: Opens the general counter folder to help diagnose issues in the format of .png screenshots and a DEBUG_OCR_OUTPUT.txt file

Open 'Failed Scan' folder: Opens the debug counter folder that is specific to failed scans (This helps reduce pinpoint specific issues) - in the format of screenshots and a DEBUG_OCR_OUTPUT.txt file

Open 'Core' folder: Opens the Core folder where automatic screenshots are taken and when failing to activate the counter during battles (When fundamentally something is wrong)

Open 'Name Fix' File folder: Opens the text file that allows you the user to manipulate the OCR scanned output by correcting the bad name with the correct name

OCR and several other utilities are used to scan screenshots of monster names and compares them against a list

Monster nameplates processed using images passed through ImageMagick formula by realmadrid1809 + additional logic cleanup in PowerShell

Unfortunately no - the Counter utilizes built in Windows OCR (OCR, Powershell, etc.) + Tesseract OCR & ImageMagick

Yes, it will work with all custom themes, but the monster nameplate text will be modified to be OCR compatible

Client theme.xml, font values and graphical assets (AC folder) are inserted into the currently installed theme list

Open the counter menu and navigate to -> Theme Selector -> "Open Theme Folder" and modify the .png images accordingly

Modifying the ThemeConfig.txt file will allow you to change the font/background colors along with font sizing & types

Yes it does and it will also provide a prompt provided by the counter indicating a shiny is on the screen (Extra layer to prevent defeating or running from the shiny)

Yes, but only as a total count in the counter - will not add to the normal tracked monster count

Yes, but currently only the 3 legendary dogs from Johto (Raikou, Suicune, and Entei)

When the user retrieves them - by tracking the word egg & recieved for eggs / by tracking the word <FossilMonsterName> & recieved for fossils

Events / trades do not log towards count

If you are using custom strings do not completely remove receieved Egg / Fossil dialog

Due to this Pokémon and it's ability.. No.

Currently the counter does not support these types of battles and you may get mixes results when tracked in the counter

Yes, right-click empty slot to manually set monster via dex number, middle-click (scroll wheel) to manually set count

Manually editing profiles may cause corruption - located in Files\Counter Config Files

Go into the counter menu and change your Picture Mode from PrintWindow (Default) to PrintScreen (Alternate) - If this does not resolve issue, please report a bug

When a monster is incorrectly scanned via OCR, you take the 'failed' name and place it on the left hand side of the semi-colon and then take the correct monster name and place to the right of the semi-colon

(Ex: Gastiy; Gastly)

You will need to turn the counter OFF and then back ON for these changes to take effect

Open up the 'Name Fix' file from the counter menu and take the partial/incorrect text and place on the left hand side of the semi-colon and then place the word 'Blank' on the right hand side of the semi-colon

(Ex: GastE; Blank)

When a 'Blank' is provided on the right hand side of the semi-colon, this indicates the counter to completely remove that specific text - You will need to turn the counter OFF and then back ON for these changes to take effect

No - this is a limitation with the PowerShell WinForms GUI

Move the counter as closely as possible to the top of the screen and then utilize the arrows keys to move to desired location
