Re: A 2023 Christmas Treat
I was wondering what this was talking about because it's definitely separate from the Hawaii donation one. For the Hawaii one, it should have been as part of kcaps since the anniversary celebration. I'm assuming there will be an initial donation given to the fund
Re: Portal scan button has disappeared
Pokémon Go is using the out of date method of scanning.
A Point Cloud, which is computed on the server from video clips, they are quite inaccurate, but requires no effort on the users device.
Meshing was brought in, meshing generates on the device a real time mesh generation of the object, and requires a flagship device because of how computationally heavy it is.
Volumetric AR scanning is the new system, and is quite fascinating if you take time to read the patents on it. And was exclusively only available for Lightship ARDK 3 developers. The Ingress dev team are smart cookies and back ported it to their ARDK version of 2.5.
It generates a mesh using voxels (volumetric pixels), and is designed to not rely as much on a device's sensors, accelerometer, gyroscope possibly including a magnetometer. Which means that lower end devices could do high resolution scanning.
But only in ARDK 3, Ingress uses ARDK 2.5 and therefore requires a beefy processor and sensors budget devices do not have.
Minimum spec for Apple devices is an iPhone 8.
I have no idea how that relates to your iPad
NL-1331 Pin sets
I finally added my complete NL-1331x Pin set to a nice display case.
I also have a complete set of the 2018 NL-1331 Pins.
Now I wonder if there are other people out there who have one or both sets complete.
It was not easy to get all the pins as it was pickup only at the events in the different countries. But in the end I managed to find agents in every country who helped me to pickup the pins.
This reminds me of the times when we had events where you could meet other agents and trade your swag. It would be great to have these events again in the future as I need to get @bettyrumblepant to also sign the frame with the NL-1331x pins 😀
Re: Uploaded Scan - Scout Controller Credit went to someone else
This can happen when Agent A uploads 2 scans to the portal and Agent B uploads a single scan, say, 15 days later. Agent B doesn't upload enough scans to the portal to take over Scout Controller, but his scans are still registered on the server. Once Agent C scans the portal 30 days after Agent A has scanned it, the system updates and kicks out Agent A because the 30 days are over. However, as the scan from Agent B is only 15 days old at this point, it is still valid and Agent B takes over the Scout Controller.
Re: Uploaded Scan - Scout Controller Credit went to someone else
@VerdeSloth you should be able to claim Scout Controller by uploading another Portal Scan for this Portal now. It looks like Hulk32 beat you to it, but only with 1 Portal Scan.
Re: The forgotten drone
Drone should be able to do what they do now, travel on links is cool. Anything else is basically akin to spoofing and shouldn't be allowed.

Google translate doesn't understand a lot of the nuances of languages too well.
As well as, if I get back to reviews again, I would be doing so on mobile, which for such a challenge and having to use Google translate all the time, is far from practical p
Re: 1st hack of the day with overclock, no bonus (2x or 3x) items if hack is correct
When Overclocking, you get a certain multiplier depending on how many hacks you have left before the portal burns out, up to a maximum of 4. Despite the name however, the scanner does not hack once and multiplies the output of that hack, but it hacks up to 4 times all at the same time. Visually, it looks the same, but they are all 4 distinct hacks as if you'd hack the portal normally 4 times.
Due to this, the first hack of the day only counts for one of the hacks, the first. As each hack is "different" regarding output, it is very likely that you didn't get the Aegis on your first, but rather in your second, third or fourth hack which doesn't get multiplied by the 1st hack of the day.
Transmuter X
Could you make a new type of transmuter that converts
resonators to xmp
ultrastrikes to mods
and/or recipes for kinetics to craft resonators to xmp and ultrastrikes to mods.
common shields would be fine, or whatever tm+ does now.
