Random forms don't work

[Blakeinstein]

I am running into issues against shuf missing in osx.

Looking on the internet, I need to install coreutils but that installs shuf as gshuf.

What do I do?

And can I pipe the output of this to neofetch? (using command output?)

[acxz]

Can you post the command you ran and the output of the command?

Make sure to copy paste the next empty prompt that shows up right after running the command.

As for piping the output to neofetch, I think its possible but not sure off the top of my head. Let me think about that one for a bit.

apparently coreutils does a link for shuf, but on osx , big doesnt work correctly,

animated flag throws an error

Great! Glad to hear that works on your machine.

big doesnt work correctly,

I'm guessing you are using iTerm2? I think I know the issue there. Can you try again with the latest commit: e4556d3

pokeshell -a tapu-bulu

You seem to have found an edge case, there is a bug with random and forms.

[Blakeinstein]

I'm guessing you are using iTerm2? I think I know the issue there.

I genuinely apologize for not mentioning the terminal emulator. I am using kitty. This seems to have worked

funny it picked numel only

running pokeshell -a -b random gave me the following

and yes this was animated

I am genuinely interested in piping the output to neofetch, and possibly using the kitty backend to display the image.

[acxz]

Sweet! Yea both iTerm2 and kitty backends had that issue where they wouldn't necessarily upscale.

funny it picked numel only

Looks like ur lucky pokemon of the day!

pokeshell -a -b random

Basically the script is trying to find a animated sprite for a pokemon called -b, which doesn't exist. I should check and suppress error output for invalid pokemon.

[Blakeinstein]

hmm makes sense, how do i supress the random title? plugging pokeshell -b random to neofetch gives me this

[acxz]

how do i supress the random title?

I'll have to add an option for that

plugging pokeshell -b random to neofetch gives me this

Nice some progress, hmm maybe I could separate the display from fetching the images. Then you could just use the output of that directly in neofetch, although it may not look as good since chafa doesn't have a pixel perfect mode.

If you want to piggy back off of your cached images, try this in your neofetch config:

image_backend="chafa"
image_source="/home/<USER>/.cache/pokeshell/"
crop_mode="none"
image_size="auto"

Note: you should tweak image_size based on your liking and crop_mode=none is sort of a hack since it uses neofetch's internal api, if u can even call it that.

I'll make a faq on try to improve the neofetch experience once I iron out some of the more fundamental issues, like chafa pixel perfect and random forms.

[Blakeinstein]

i see, the resolution isnt soo good and I cant get a fast response time either. Will leave configuring this for now.

Thanks btw! You can close this issue whenever you see fit!

@Blakeinstein I believe with hyfetch you can get the results that you want. See the following README section: https://github.com/acxz/pokeshell#hyfetch

Right now only ascii works well, but I'll add true image soon as well.

For a fast response, you'll have to use pokescript (neo branch) which I still need to write the readme for, but is usable.

I figured the same, I also posted this solution on pokeshell alternatives as well. Only speed is the problem now haha, maybe animated sprites would work someday too.

[acxz]

animated sprites would work someday

Should be possible, just need to display the text before the gif and that should work. I'll ping back when pokescript is easier to use, but if you do get around to trying let me know if it is fast enough for you.
