Walk back and forth or get stuck between two pokestops

[IllidanU]

I tried two accounts. They can play as normal from my phone's app. But when using the bot, they can not find any pokemon nearby though there is actually many pokemon around.

• I can spin and get item. Receiving XP at the same time.
• I can successfully catch the lured Pokemon at the lure pokestop. Receiving XP at the same time.

Quite like this. #536

I switched the option of "farming mode", both true and false do noot fix this.

My config here:

OMG how to fix the format of config? It's so messy

[infinitewarp]

Wrap blocks of text with three backticks ``` on the line before and after to preserve formatting.

I'll edit your post to fix.

[IllidanU]

Thanks!

[infinitewarp]

Try setting USE_CACHED_FORTS to false. I've been having some problems with that lately where it might never move from its starting position.

Not stuck at one place now. But still do not meet any pokemon

Updated to the dev brunch. I think the problem is that the bot is walking back and forth so it actually got stuck between two or three pokestops. The picture here is that: after increase the SKIP_VISITED_FORT_DURATION to 900 and set SPIN_ALL_FORTS to false. (don't figure out which is actually working) The bot is circling in a bigger circle.

Is there any method to form a bigger loop for the bot to walk?

[IllidanU]

Another thing to mention: though the red line seems to be a single line. But the bot is actually walking back and forth along each line several times. Then it may go to another path with a small chance.

It will be great to let the bot figure out which path is already walked and always wonder to some new place.
