Coding AJAX-compatible GM scripts

[Optimus Prime]

I just want to say thanks to you guys who are working on getting it refurbished for all of us. That's a lot of extra work you don't have to do.

Thanks again.

[Ishiro]

Yeah, well, finally an excuse to learn AJAX.

[stringybeany]

Add my thanks. What you are doing is work and has real value. Thanks.

[cricket]

so u guys have a link to this new script?

[Ishiro]

Not yet, because parts of it don't work well at all. The map doesn't update when you do things... have to fix that first.

Here's a tip for anyone trying to fix BOB. There is an function I put in called handleResponse() that runs each time an AJAX response comes in. Perhaps the GM script could re-define that function to call gm_ConquerClubGame() at the end?

tell you what.......you install this crap for me on my computer, and ill make your moves in your game so you can win one

this would have been so much funnier if it wasnt for that "neverland game we played"

lack just beat me in a game

The original BOB was write when pages are totally reloaded and now, only a few part of the page are reloaded.
I do not thing that we can make original BOB work and is not a easy think fix/maintain/upgrade someone code.
Above is what I think that is more important on the new code, that is a prototype model of clock fully working in Ajax way.
The 2 seconds difference (in the setInterval) is intentional to show that after refresh (use page link (Ajax) and not navigator button) the clock became correctly.

Code: Select all

// ==UserScript==
// @name          Conquer Club - Ajax BOB
// @namespace     http://www.itj.com.br/

// Starting
var TimeStr = document.getElementById('clock').innerHTML;
var TargetTime = TimeStr.split(/hrs\n|min\n|sec/);
var CurrHour = parseInt(TargetTime[0]);
var CurrMinute = parseInt(TargetTime[1]);
var CurrSecond = parseInt(TargetTime[2]);
ClockInterval = window.setInterval(ClockTimer, 2000);


// Running clock
function ClockTimer()
{
   --CurrSecond;
   if (CurrSecond < 0)
   {
     --CurrMinute;
     if (CurrMinute < 0)
     {
       --CurrHour;
       if (CurrHour < 0)
       {
         CurrHour = 0;
       }
       CurrMinute = 59;
     }
     CurrSecond = 59;
   }
   snextTurn = ' @ ';
   CurrDate = new Date();
   nextTurn = (CurrHour * 60) + CurrMinute + (CurrDate.getHours() * 60) + CurrDate.getMinutes();
   if (nextTurn > 1440)
   {
      nextTurn -= 1440;
      snextTurn = ' tomorrow @ ';
   }
   StrClock = document.getElementById('clock');
   StrClock.innerHTML = zslash(CurrHour, 2) + 'hrs ' + zslash(CurrMinute, 2) + 'min ' + zslash(CurrSecond, 2) + 'sec' + snextTurn + '<b>' + zslash(parseInt(nextTurn / 60), 2) + ':' + zslash(nextTurn - parseInt(parseInt(nextTurn / 60) * 60), 2) + '</b />';
}


// Ajax Code
var bob_gameLog = unsafeWindow.gameLog;
var bob_gameChat = unsafeWindow.gameChat;
var bob_handleResponse = unsafeWindow.handleResponse;
unsafeWindow.handleResponse = function() {
   if (typeof(unsafeWindow.request.responseText) != "undefined")
   {
      var bob_response = unsafeWindow.request.responseText.split("&"); 
      if (bob_response.length > 2)
      {
         if (bob_response[2] != "")
         {
            TargetTime = bob_response[2].split(/hrs|min|sec/);
            CurrHour = parseInt(TargetTime[0]);
            CurrMinute = parseInt(TargetTime[1]);
            CurrSecond = parseInt(TargetTime[2]);
         }
         var CurrDate = new Date();
         bob_gameChat.innerHTML += '<b>' + zslash(CurrDate.getHours(), 2) + ':' + zslash(CurrDate.getMinutes(), 2) + ':' + zslash(CurrDate.getSeconds(), 2) + '</b /> Ajax Test - I am a response!<br />';
         }
   } else {
      var CurrDate = new Date();
      bob_gameChat.innerHTML += '<b>' + zslash(CurrDate.getHours(), 2) + ':' + zslash(CurrDate.getMinutes(), 2) + ':' + zslash(CurrDate.getSeconds(), 2) + '</b /> Ajax Test - I am not!<br />';
   }
   return bob_handleResponse();
}


// Counters, Map inspect...


// Common Functions
function zslash(svalue, iwidth)
{
   var szero = String(svalue);
   var ch = szero.substr(0,1);
   while (ch == ' ')
   {
      szero = szero.substr(1, szero.length);
      ch = szero.substr(0,1);
   }
   ch = szero.substr(szero.length - 1, szero.length);
   while (ch == ' ')
   {
      szero = szero.substr(0, szero.length - 1);
   ch = szero.substr(szero.length - 1, szero.length);
   }
   for (var i=0; i < (iwidth - szero.length); i++)
   {
      szero = '0' + szero;
   }   
   return szero;
}

I too would like to extend my thanks to the brave souls on the front line in the battle against ajax.

I'm pretty sure I can get the map inspect working properly, however, it may have to lose the color coding and just show attack/defend paths. Working on that today.

[yeti_c]

Most aspects of the map inspect are fairly rigid (i.e. what you can and can't attack)

But obviously the things that change are the colour coding of each territory.

The Table of data code would need to be run on every refresh... of course that's the bit that takes time as it inspects game logs - so may not actually complete in time for a refresh... so could be nasty - unless it's made easier to get this info out of the system now.

Let me throw in some incentive - free premium membership* to the contributors of an AJAX-compatible GM script that can replace Tr0y's & BOB**, so I can move everyone onto AJAX


* Main contributor(s) will get 12 months, secondary contributors according to their contribution

** Colourblind feature is now core, no need to replace that

[Wild_Tiger]

if I cheer for the programmers, will that get me a couple days, lack?

I think it's because he doesn't want to do it all and make it part of the actual site. But hey, whatever works.

Actually - I'll make a deal with you...

If I get it up and running - will you look at creating a test area in the Foundry for new maps?
