General Settings

SysBot.Pokemon's settings are split into multiple classes, arranged by their general function. When you click on a setting's row, the bottom pane will give you a description of what the setting controls.

General

If you cannot get a setting to "stick", restart the program or remove/readd the bot.

• Most settings can be changed while the program is running, allowing for small behavior tweaks without stopping the bots. Examples include:
  • Toggling the ability for users to join the queue
  • Changing when the queue automatically closes/opens
  • Folder of where to dump things
• Some settings are only checked when the program first starts, generally for computationally intensive setup. Examples include:
  • Fake trainer data used to generate new PKM files from a ShowdownSet. For fake TID/SID, we need the 16 bit values rather than the 6digit TID style of current games. Hover over the TID/SID in PKHeX to get the old-style representation (16bit).
    In this example, you would enter TID: 34101 and SID: 09035.
    
  • Stop conditions (for loading in IVs).

Settings are saved when you hit Start, and are also saved when you close the program. The values are saved in config.json.

• Deleting the config will cause the program to regenerate the default settings the next time it opens.
• In general, config files are compatible for future updates. However, some settings may be forgotten/reset, so if you notice things misbehaving, double check your settings for that feature.
• Do not edit the config file in a text editor while the program is open. Closing the program will overwrite your changes. In general, you should be making changes in the program hub.

Settings

These are settings that apply to multiple bots and may be scattered around the Hub.

• AntiIdle: The bot will press B periodically to keep the Switch from going into sleep mode. You can also disable sleep through the Switch settings. This does not work in Scarlet/Violet.
• LoggingEnabled: If set to true, the program will keep text logs in the logs folder for troubleshooting. Restart to apply changes.
• MaxArchiveFiles: This controls the number of old text logs to retain. Set this to 0 or a negative number to disable log cleanup entirely. Restart to apply changes.
• ScreenOff: Every bot has this setting, which turns the screen off when the bot is started and turns the screen back on when the bot is stopped.
• EmitCountsOnStatusCheck: When enabled, the bot's counts will be displayed in $status.

Debug

• SkipConsoleBotCreation: Bots will not be started if enabled. This can be used to test integration with Twitch, Discord, etc.
