Internote 2.0.5, by Tim Horton, released on Jun 22, 2006

Persistent sticky notes for Firefox. Internote allows you to create notes on a web page which will be there once you return. Notes are very customizable, and come with many small, useful features. A manager is available, in which you can see all of your saved notes, edit them, print them, and delete them.

I got it for web development, however I found it handy for remembering what I wanted to do next turn. I've had it for a while, and figured I'd share.

Maybe Lack can use it for a more in your face todo.

Put your game listing on Google Homepage

found on http://labs.beffa.org/greasemonkey/

Description:
Auto-Login on forms where you have saved the password in firefox.

NOTE:
You may want to change the included pages to
http://*conquerclub.com*
instead of all http://* and https://*

I took Tr0y's game sorter greasemonkey script and made some modifications to it.

This new script allows you to filter out game settings that you don't like right on the "Join Game" screen, so that you only see the game types that you like.

Disclaimer: I've only tested this on Firefox 1.5 for Mac, so if you try it on something else and it doesn't work, let me know and I will do my best to fix it.

Disclaimer 2: This is my first ever attempt at a greasemonkey script. JS is not my language of choice, if anyone wants to take a stab at optimizing it (*cough*Tr0y*cough*), go for it

Here's something rather useful I found at the dead Lord of the Rings Risk website that has become Ham's playground and mine.

http://drpetrov.com/games/shuffler.zip
The above is a shuffler program that is in a zipped file. It'll be useful for tourney organizers, as long as everyone is numbered somehow, which would beeasy if you did it by signups. Just run the second file called shuffler, to do it put in the number of players and the output will be the order they're in.

I was bored today and made a script to add confirmation dialogs to the End Attacks and End Fortification buttons.

Way cool!! Is a confirmation dialog possible for deployment? Just a few minutes ago I dumped 13 armies on the wrong country.

Confirmation is possible for any button, just right click the link, choose "Save Link as..." save it on your computer, open it with notepad (or any text editor). The code for each button is exactly the same, so just make a copy of one and modify the name of the button it is looking for:

Code: Select all

      if (inputs[a].value == "Fortify")
      {
         inputs[a].setAttribute("onclick", "javascript:return confirm('Are you sure?');" );
      }


This would add confirmation to the Fortify... make one that looks for "Attack" to put a confirm on attack, "Deploy" (?) for deployment. Save it, then open the file with Firefox. Greasemonkey should ask if you want to install it.

Done.

Go crazy and put confirmations for any button you want... though I suggest not putting confirmation on the Login button.

How much of a pages DOM do you need to know to make non-trivial greasemonkey scripts?

What happened with all those things the greasemonkey offered? Most of them are gone after the update of the site. Like the statistics in-game and seeing who's turn it is out of game.

troy i just tried and it stillo does not show all the cool stuff like how many armies etc.....

you may need to reinstall it, or refresh when navigating to it.

Troy, let me just re-iterate how much I love your "current-game-status" greasemonkey script. I don't know what I would do without it anymore, since almost every move I make is influenced by the armies and power ratings it provides. Great job, man!

Just one thing though: how much does the power rating take the cards' status into account. I know it is affected when you have a complete set or two, but does it take into account partially completed card sets, or escalating or flat-rate card sets? I mean, a partially filled card set near the end of an escalating cards game should more greatly affect your power rating than a complete set at the beginning.
Sorry for mentioning something you've already thought of, if that is the case.

Yes, it takes the probability of turning in cards times the redemption value.

Code: Select all

   /*---- Returns probability of a tunin - http://www.kent.ac.uk/IMS/personal/odl/riskfaq.htm#3.5 ----*/
   var getTurnInP = function(num_cards){
      if( num_cards < 3 ) return 0;
      if( num_cards > 4 ) return 1;
      if( num_cards == 3 ) return 0.3341;
      return 0.778; // has 4 cards
   }


I hope that answers your question.

just wondered do having scripts on these pages slow down how quick they load when you refresh or click buttons to go into other things?

anyone know?

I saw this forum thread and made a simple lightweight firefox 1.5-2.0 extension.

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/3638/

It shows your games status in the status bar, right click for options, enjoy!

Hey. That's pretty useful. Cool!

Works like a charm.

My greasemonkey hasn't been working of late (to show number of armies / cards etc). I've updated it, and even reinstalled it. Any ideas? I'm on Firefox 2 and greasemonkey 0.6.6.20061017.0. In manage user scripts it seems to be enabled.

Any suggestions appreciated - I hadn't realised how vital it was to my enjoyment of the game!

Wow, that is pretty awesome. I just found out that you can double click on the icons and it takes you right to the game. Maybe you could explain all of its features. Some people may not know that they have to enter ther user id to make this work, and some people may not figure out that you can double click the icons to take you to the games.

Also, I have a question: what does the "Open in tab" option do?

Pretty awesome, how about to give more options for the refresh time? I want mine up to half a minute. 10 mins is too long.

Also could you include option to "check now"?

Could u possibly open-source it? so people can make changes to their exact needs?

Great work, Jon.

"open in tab" basically sets where the window should open when the user double clicks a status icon.

and refresh time - i didn't want the server getting bashed and my extension being blamed. A forced re-check occurs if you pick any of the times again (e.g. just select 10 mins again). If the server people are ok with a time of less i will add it in. Also, its really easy to hack/tweak the ext yourself once installed.
