missing hash again..

[anas-p13]

well now they just randomly repositioned the image, resulting in missing hashes error (i guess so)
example:
new

old

note that not all the images are repositioned like this, they all were moved to random directions
thank you

[anas-p13]

some images are also cut out by the frame
like this

also it seems like they gonna do this regularly

If you're too busy to help us, could you at least teach/tell us how to hash our own images? The only way I know how is by seeing it spawn and having the main,py program say the hash but it's much harder that way.

If you are interested in hashing your own images, you can look into https://github.com/JohannesBuchner/imagehash

imagehash is the library that DAB uses to compute perceptual hashes for images. It is well documented.
You can also look at this file for how hashes were computed en masse: https://github.com/Kr4ken-9/DAB/blob/master/pokebad/hashing.py

Someone with knowledge of DAB could extend it or rewrite it to save images and their hashes when a pokemon spawns so that you could later look at it and tell DAB the name of the pokemon. However, this was not how it was originally designed, and I do not have time to do it myself. I will also probably not be investing any more of my time in this project.

Otherwise, someone with knowledge could create a crowdsourced pokebois.json (or hash database) so that multiple people could contribute hashes. This seems like the most sustainable path forward.

oh its kinda sad to know about this, but i understand
so thank you! you have been a great help

also about this, it would be great if dab shows the image too along with missing hash so we can fix it

they made an anti-bot system which adds a grain filter, changes the background tone a bit and repositions the pokémon for each spawn (sometimes moving it out of frame), so the hash is always different and the DAB bot will not be able to recognize it, here is the best example i found:
First spawn

Second spawn (26 minutes later, same channel)

Pokédex entry (original pic, how spawns were before they added the anti-bot system)

oh, so there is not point in updating the hash then?, as they keep on changing every half an hour
is there any way to overcome this?
