[GF] Saved Searches in Game Finder

[PsyDev]

Thanks for the link. I didn't see it in the suggestion box already as "pending" or "rejected" or "to do" so I thought I should suggest it.


edit: It should probably say under "rejected": "visit this link instead"

I've been using a tool with Conquer Club to save my favorate Game search parameters, and to create games.

The Selenium IDE extension for the Firefox browser, allows you to record all the actions you take, as you painstakingly set every option for the game of your choice, and then allow you to playback all those actions, whenever you want.

The IDE seems to be far more powerful than that, but using it to select your favorate game options is a real plus.

it is most useful , for example, when I want to search or create, for terminator/seq/nofog/public/casual games with my favorate 5 maps.

There's already a grease monkey script to do saved searches. Lack would appreciate if you NOT use the Selenium IDE to save game creation. The powers that be have deemed that players should create games one at a time. Thank your for your cooperation.

[riskfreak]

Oh, I wasn't trying to suggest that you use it to create more than one game at a time. I can see why you might think that, because I said "5 maps" in the last post.
I meant, "I was looking for ONE game, that may have one of those 5 maps.

I suggested it because it is useful for creating a single game, with all the options done right the first time..... no dropping the mistake game, and hitting the server again to re-create the correct game(hopefully).



I have never tried creating more than one game at a time, and I understand why the "powers" would not want that.

Thanks

CC is an awesome site but I have one small suggestion to improve it. I find I am always selecting the same options in the Game Finder to find games of the type I like playing. It would be neat if you had a Save this search option and then a player could go to My Saved Searches and just pick one and search for it. Just an idea.

just download greasemonkey and install this script

[Pip Squeek]

Description:
A quick search to be able to be able to find games faster would be helpful and save a lot of time. That way you do not have to do a lot of clicking just to search for the same type of game over and over again. I know it is not needed, but it would make things a lot nicer.

Specifics:

• Searches a saved preference for a particular criterion for Game Finder.

[BaldAdonis]

There's a plug in that does this. Have a look at that forum.

I use it all the time. Works great!

I'm fed up of clicking the check boxes on the game finder:

• Premium membership needs additional perks, and I don't think this would be too much to ask for as a small addition

Specifics:

• You click on a box saying 'Favorite games style' tick the boxes of the game finder that you most want to look for and then click 'confirm save'
• Then after finding a game of your choice, you go back to game finder page, click 'favorites' and instantly search again for the same settings

This will improve the following aspects of the site:

• more people will search for games
• less new games will be started cluttering up the join games list

[Anarkistsdream]

I firmly give this a stamp of approval....

[Timminz]

There's a Greasemonkey script for this exact purpose.

This should be a site perk, not something a player should have to do for themselves.
I'm not good with pc's

Why would they want to spend time building it into the site, when anyone with the desire and 5 minutes of free time can get the option already?

[Pedronicus]

Why would they want to spend time building it into the site, when anyone with the desire and 5 minutes of free time can get the option already?

1. Because it would improve the site.
2. I want this function, but do not know how to load the greasemonkey bit you are talking about, nor where to find it.
3. Not everyone who plays CC is active in the forums
4. Lack wants the game finder section as uncluttered as possible.
5. More Premium perks will encourage more players to part with their cash.

3. true
4. Did he tell you that?
5. also, probably true

Timminz, check this out...

I DON'T WANT GREASEMONKEY... How's that for ya?

[Timminz]

If you don't want Greasemonkey, don't complain about not being able to use its functions. Pretty simple, really.

Or just build them into the server itself...

This is a place for ideas... If you don't like the idea, than don't vote for it... But sitting their bitching telling me that I have to install something else on my computer is fucking retarded...

Chill out - You and I both know that updates in this place take forever... so - until it comes along - use GM - or wait.

And I was perfectly willing to wait until Timminz felt the need to be a douche to Pedro and myself.

Pedro...

If you need help installing BOB - or any other GM script then go for this thread...
viewtopic.php?f=59&t=41487

Then install the script from here...
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/13710

Sadly this version is a touch out of date... so we then need to do the following...
Right click on monkey bottom right corner.
Choose "manage user scripts"
Select the script "Conquer Club Saved Searches" (or similar)
On the right hand side in the "included pages" box
replace

Code: Select all

http://www.conquerclub.com/player.php?page=find

with

Code: Select all

http://www.conquerclub.com/player.php?mode=find

See, basically you are telling people that thy have to use Firefox... Now, I use Firefox, so I don't care, but a lot of people do not or can not for whatever reason...

This suggestion I think should definitely go on the to do list...

I'm not telling anyone that they have to use anything - I'm saying that there are a lot of cool scripts that work with FF - if you want to use them - then you're more than welcome.

Lack has various plans to add "Greasemonkey" like improvements to the website over the next while, but they are lower on the priority list, but always there is a chance they may sneak into an early update if they are relatively easy to work out.
