Recruit Generals

The generals worth recruiting from the tavern, and the short list the Tavern Recruit task looks for.

Where
Resources ▸ Recruit Generals.
Use it to
Choose which generals the Tavern Recruit task looks for.
You need
Nothing to look or to switch generals on and off. An emulator, or a screenshot file, only to add a general that is missing.
Used by
The Tavern Recruit task.

This list is for generals you would like to recruit, not the ones you own. (The ones you own are in Generals.) Each general has a picture and a small recognition picture, so Evonex can find it on the tavern’s recruit board. The search list is the short list you pick: Tavern Recruit looks only for generals on it. A long list comes with Evonex, with the pictures already made. About half of them are on the search list at first. Every instance shares this list, and a change is saved as soon as you confirm it.

Resources ▸ Recruit Generals. Some cards are on the search list and some are not.
  1. 1Search generals… Finds a general by part of its name.
  2. 2Search list Shows only the generals on your search list. All shows everyone again.
  3. 3Add General Opens the window where you add a general that is missing.
  4. 4Count Shows how many generals there are and how many are on the search list.
  5. 5Rank Shows Epic or Legendary. Point at it to see what each rank allows.
  6. 6Recognition line Says template set when Evonex can find this general on screen, or no template when it cannot.
  7. 7Add to search Puts the general on your search list. The button then reads On search list.
  8. 8On search list Marks a general on your search list. Click it to take the general off.

Point at a card to see two buttons: Edit general (sliders) and Delete general (bin). Delete also removes the general’s picture.

Choose who the task looks for

  1. Find a general. Type in Search generals… or scroll.
  2. Click Add to search on its card. It changes to On search list.
  3. Click On search list to take it off again.
  4. Click Search list at the top to see only your chosen generals. Click All to see everyone.

The button saves at once, and the list keeps its place. Until at least one general is on the search list, Tavern Recruit says No generals on the search list yet.

Add a general that is missing

  1. In the game, open Tavern ▸ Recruit ▸ Portraits and tap the general, so its full picture shows.
  2. In Evonex, click Add General. In Port, pick your emulator and click Capture screen. With no emulator, click Upload image… and pick a screenshot file.
  3. Drag a box around the general’s portrait. Scroll to zoom and right-drag to move the view. Then click Use selection.
  4. Type the General name and pick the Rank. Leave Show in Tavern Recruit search on if you want the task to look for this general.
  5. Click Select template in Vision Lab. Drag a box around the face and upper chest, then click Use for this general.
  6. Click Save general.
Take the picture from the Portraits window, not from the recruit board itself. The board draws generals smaller and shows random ones, so a picture cut there is not found reliably.
Step one: capture the general.
  1. 1Port Picks the emulator to capture from. It lists running emulators and your instances on this PC. You can type a port such as 5555.
  2. 2Capture screen Takes a picture of the emulator’s screen.
  3. 3Upload image… Uses a picture file instead of the emulator.
  4. 4Picture Shows the captured screen. Drag a box around the general’s portrait.
  5. 5Selection Shows the size and place of your box.
  6. 6Use selection Crops to your box and moves on to the general’s details.
Port
The emulator to capture from. Type a port such as 5555 or a full address such as 127.0.0.1:5555. It remembers the last address that worked. A problem shows Invalid port.
Capture screen
Takes a picture of the emulator’s screen. If that fails you see Capture failed.
Upload image…
Picks a picture file instead (PNG, JPG, WEBP or BMP).
Back
Goes back to the details. It shows only when the general already has a picture.
Use selection
Crops to your box. It stays grey until the box is big enough. A box that is too small shows Selection too small.
Step two: the general’s details.
  1. 1General name Names the general. Required.
  2. 2Rank Picks Epic or Legendary. Default: Epic.
  3. 3Show in Tavern Recruit search Puts the general on the search list. It is the same switch as the one on the card.
  4. 4General art Shows the picture. The green box marks the part Evonex looks for.
  5. 5Template Names the saved recognition for this general, or says there is none yet.
  6. 6Select template in Vision Lab Opens the Vision Lab, where you mark the part to look for.
  7. 7Edit detector Reopens the saved recognition in the Vision Lab so you can tune it.
  8. 8Unlink Takes the saved recognition off this general.
  9. 9Re-capture image Goes back to capture the picture again. The name, rank and link are kept.
  10. 10Save general Keeps the general.

The Vision Lab works the same way as for champion skins. See Champions for a marked picture of it.

General name
The general’s name. Required: with no name you see Name required.
Rank
Legendary or Epic. Default: Epic. Epic generals can be recruited or bought as tokens. Legendary generals can only be recruited.
Show in Tavern Recruit search
On: the general is on the search list. Off keeps it in the library but out of the task’s list. Default: on for a new general.
General art
The picture, with the part Evonex looks for drawn as a green box. The line under it says Template area and gives its size, or says No template selected yet. If it says Template not located on this image, the saved recognition was cut from a different picture.
Template
Names the saved recognition (Detector “…”) or says No template yet.
Select template in Vision Lab
Opens the Vision Lab on this picture. Mark the part to look for, then click Use for this general.
Edit detector
Reopens the saved recognition so you can tune it. Greyed out until a general is linked.
Unlink
Takes the saved recognition off the general. It shows only while the general is linked.
Re-capture image
Goes back to the capture step. The name, rank and link are kept.
Cancel
Closes the window without keeping the general.
Save general
Keeps the general. With no picture you see No image. If the picture cannot be written, the general is still saved and the old picture stays.

Controls on this tab

Search generals…
Finds generals by part of the name.
All | Search list
Switches between every general and only the ones on the search list. Default: All.
Add General
Opens the Add window.
Count
128 generals · 64 on search list for example. In the search list view it reads 64 on search list. While you search, it reads Showing 3 of 128. In those two cases Clear filters shows too, and returns you to All with an empty search.
Card
The picture, the name, the rank (Legendary for recruit only, Epic for recruit or tokens), the recognition line and the search button.
Add to search / On search list
The one-tap button on a card. It saves at once.
Edit general
The sliders button on a card.
Delete general
The bin button on a card. Asks Delete “Name”?

With nothing saved, the tab says No recruit targets yet. With an empty search list, it says Nothing on the search list yet and offers Show all generals. When a search finds nothing, it says No generals match.

How Tavern Recruit uses it

When Evonex updates, the pictures of the generals that come with it go back to the original copies. Your Add to search choices are kept. A general you deleted stays deleted.

Problems?

Tavern Recruit says No generals on the search list yet.
Turn on Add to search for the generals you want. Click Search list to check them.
A target showed on the board but was not bought.
Its card may say no template, so it cannot be recognised. Or its picture was cut from the recruit board instead of the Portraits window: capture it again from Portraits. Or the buy limit in the task was reached.
Tokens is missing for a general.
Tokens work only for Epic generals. If this general is Epic, set Rank to Epic.
A general says Template not located on this image.
Click Select template in Vision Lab again, on this general’s own picture.
Capture failed or Invalid port.
Check that the emulator is running and that the port is right. See Emulator setup.
