Hi everyone!

Finally I got it: a reworked/extended version of Veritas's GUI enhancement script. It still has the mark beta, which was the reason for me not to release until now. But now as Birq knows about me developing scripts, I better post it ;)
I made several modifications to it to fit my needs better. Particular changes are (full changelog is in the file):

// ----------- 2.50 changes
// - revived the Redux script :P
// - Market is dead, so dropped that link
// - Stock Market enhancements
// * Inclusion of zonio's graphs
// * Up/Down color
// * Redirect Handling
// * Inclusion of current Holdings in investshares.php
// - DOND helper ;)
// - moved Your Profile link down to "Your Stuff"

// ----------- 2.41 changes
// - some advertising for GEWar Cities Market
// - improved 'Unoccupied' display
// - added summary row on stocks page

//
// ----------- 2.33 changes
// - 4th group: NAPed

// - Cookie failure in 2.3 fixed
// - Update check function
// ----------- 2.3 changes
// - Configuration with a real interface, stored as a cookie
// - Caching of online users. Relies on a server of mine.
// - Alliance page gets online markers in a new column
//
// ----------- 2.2 changes
// - added unoccupied cities on main page
// - fixed main page bug for alliances with less messages
// - unoccupied cities
// - Instead of coloured PM links a vBulletin circle
// - An alliance website/forum link next to the cities one
// - More customizability - more variables
//
// ----------- 2.1 changes
// - added PM buttons on every page
// - added search box
// - added huge amounts for adding in face of 1 million before reset
// - added User Highlighting and Setting section (below changelog)
//
// ----------- 2.0 changes
// - ReNamed to 'Redux2'
// - re-added the conversion deal, since I could read it ;)
// - replaced the deposit/withdraw stuff by the ones of apollosmith's script
// (see here: http://smithplanet.com/gewar/ui.htm)
// - added a buy option to the armies table, not only for TFs
// - improved the buyArmy-selector generation
// - added a feature to replace links in the stock table to point to zonio.org/gewar
// (the Java control is not good for me)
// - put links to stat providers on the stock page
// - added Your Profile link in the menu bar (to see how others see you)
// - online status for your alliance pages (w/PM links)

Greetings to all,
Martok

Current Version: 2.5

Downloads
See my Redux² page at Martoks GEwar place (http://gewar.martoks-place.de/redux2.html) for most recent, but I recommend using the one attached here, as this is the officially approved version.

Also be sure to first look at the FAQ (http://gewar.martoks-place.de/redux2_faq.html) before asking me something.

I like it a lot. I have one request.

I have made a change to the script to be able to see who is online from other alliances as well...not just my own. I would like to see this released in the next version.

What would be REALLY hot would be if all of the "flags" where set into a cookie instead of in the actual script, and if you could make a small area on the bottom of the "My Profile" page that would allow us to change these flags since it does affect performance....

Besides all that....big props to you and the original creator of these scripts.

I agree with the cookie idea for the flags.

That way I can turn a feature on or off without having to dive into the script.

That cookie thing is interesting. The Task forces are already stored as a cookie, so I guess I can find out how it has been done. Might be a bit hard, but I love challenges ;)

The online status stuff really needs loads of reworking. If anybody might have a look at it?

Things to do:
* other detection method (less server stress. @crew: pls make a php that is called like www.gewar.net/forums/userstatus.php?u=12345 and that returns a simple text {online/offline/hidden})
* which members of your alliance are online on the main page
* option to show the vBulletin status bulbs as a new (first) column on alliance pages, and PM links outside table
* option to use coloured PM links all the time

Linking the last two might be difficult, when a user chooses not to have PM links, what should happen to online markers?

If anybody wants to take on any of the points above (except the settings form), please notify me.

Nicely done to one and all involved in this release.

Martok, you could easily set up the names to show if their online/offline/ invisible, I have mine set up to do this, because it loads it a little faster. I haven't figured out how to do it on all names but just on the Alliance page. But I get an error sometimes when I load the page after a browser restart. I've been looking through the code for the bug, but I can't seem to find it, so I just removed that process and don't show whether someone is online.

this is the best script i have seen in ages!!, well done to everybody who worked on it

Bloody awesome! Well done to all who have had an input into it!

Just a suggestion, instead of having to add every member out of an Alliance in the "Allies/Freinds/Enemies" Section, why not add the ability to add in whole Alliances there? Also maybe add in a "NAP'ed" section there?

This script is superb!!! Any chance of an extra 'arriving in.....minutes' column on the armies page in the next version? Just so you dont have to keep clicking back and forth when you have loads of armies moving around the globe. Also, putting alliances in the friendly/enemy/NAP bit instead of users would be splendid!!! Ta!

Hm, sounds nice.

Implemented, I'm going to upload it when the arriving thing is done.

Alright, so it wasn't working for me, so I re-downloaded it. Ton of new features, but I tried to change some settings in the "my profile" section, and clicked save, and everything went back to non-greasemonkey style, but it says the add-on is still enabled. Grrr, I don't want to have to re-download it again.

Would it be possible to upload all of the versions on a seperate page? I do not like the current 2.32 version and would like to downgrade.

How do you do this?

Strange. People always manage to do weird things with it.

Anyway: if anyone still has any old version he can supply, please notify me. Someone wanted to make me upload the old versions, but I did not keep them...
If you have any of them previous to 2.33, please tell me.

As much as i like parts of it, i find that it puts too much on the main page.

Also at a time where we have server problems, I worry that hitting the stock charts, or the number verification image everytime you go to a different page, is or will become too much for the server.

Then go ahead and disable something, I have turned off most of it, except the unoccupied list.

Stock charts come from an external site, so this should be no problem. I just noticed that the convert stuff can't be disabled...added in next version...

@staff: if you think any of the functions stresses the server to death, please contact me, and I will be happy to find a solution.

Just wondering what you thought of adding a coloum in the unoccupied cities page, for nuked cities, when they will become active again?

It still isn't working for me... hmmm... I even redownloaded it, installed it, and closed the window and reopened it. Still nothing. No changes. And I really liked this UI Script!

I just installed it NP, downloaded it and just refreshed the page and up it popped.

I have one idea of what the problem could be. Anyone with problems that solved after following the manual (i.e., the FAQs) who had user names with special characters like ~ (tilde) and stuff in their highlighting lists? Like Melek~Taus?

If you could confirm, I can easily fix it.
But sadly, fixing would need to change the storage method, thus everyone loosing their settings (biggest problem: highlighter configuration...) :o

Xorg..

its a problem with the cookies..

goto Tools > Options > Privacy > Show Cookies

then search for Redux when it finds it delete it..

It should work now, especially since you have the new version.

Is it me or did the new Ads mess up the army page.
I cant create task groups or use any of the functions there..

Looks like you will have to update it with the new ads, Martok...

I'm not seeing a problem with it xorg.

here (http://www.gewar.net/war/index.php) Instead of alliance notes, I am getting another banner ad.

here (http://www.gewar.net/war/index.php) Instead of alliance notes, I am getting another banner ad.
Turn off your stockmarket viewer, then turn it back on. Or just leave it off. I had mine off and it didn't have any other banner ads, now when I turned it back on it just had a banner ad beneath the alliance notes and above the stock market chart.

baaahh, all the DOM (Document Object Model) is different now....
Will need a lot of reprogramming, which may take a lot of time... If you encounter any errors, you dont need to notify me, just turn the script off while you are doing what you wanted. (you can press the monkey face in the lower right for toggling)

It all worked so well, and now... ;smcry

Sorry about that, Martok. I really liked the way everything was set up. I don't need to turn the script off, my only problem occurs with the armies page, and I can work around that until the reprogramming is done.

Don't despair, we appreciate the hard work. ;yes

All changes done. ;bgrin ;bgrin

Very interesting. The code I wrote is better than I thought ;)

Thx Luke for the div, this should make future changes unnecessary. Download link is in the first post, or in the auto updater.

;smi551 ;drunk ;smi551

Martok, I love your script, but can you clarify on the first page that the script is now version 2.4 and could someone in the know check it over and clear it for use.

Thanks

OK, not sure if I'm reading this right

But can you confirm that the download you are referring to is the 2.4 version?

If so can you mention that on the first post of this thread and can someone from the crew please check this update and confirm that it is legal.

As far as I'm concerned it has corrected all the above mentioned problems but my understanding is that it is an illegal script until it is properly submitted and verified.

thanks Martok, excellent work.

All changes done. ;bgrin ;bgrin

I was recently using this script, but it was the one off fluteflute's blog, which was removed until its legality was approved so I have stopped using it. Can we get confirmation it is legal, cos it's a damn fine script and I'd like to be able to use it again without fear of breaking the rules.

so when is it going to be approved, so i can grab it?

awesome script, this should save me time!

This is a very useful script. I just wanted to point out for future correction that the "5 Most Recent Alliance Messages" only shows four messages.

Great work. ;clap

NS_ERROR_FILE_ALREADY_EXISTS.

it keeps saying this when i try to install

im trying to install the redux2 script. i installed it before but then it got deleted.now every time i try to install it it just says NS_ERROR_FILE_ALREADLY_EXISTS and a lot more. just see the picture. i really need this script

have you tried to navigate to where it says the file already exists and install from there? Or right click on the monkey and go to manage user scripts and activate it there?

Xorg..

its a problem with the cookies..

goto Tools > Options > Privacy > Show Cookies

then search for Redux when it finds it delete it..

It should work now, especially since you have the new version.

Try this..

I dont think so.

I had this error too some time ago. It was placed in the gm_scripts (or something similiar) directory in my firefox profile path, and the monkey tried to copy it to the same place - unsuccessful, of course.

@Lenin: the cookies thing is responsible for a lot, but IMHO not for this. NS_ERROR_FILE_ALREADY_EXISTS points to a file issue. Btw I didnt know they still name error codes after Netscape... ;)

lenin, ive done that but it still doesnt work.

have you tried to navigate to where it says the file already exists and install from there?

what do you mean by this?

have you tried to navigate to where it says the file already exists and install from there? Or right click on the monkey and go to manage user scripts and activate it there?
ive tried that. what does ghetto bob mean by scrolling to the file already exists and install there???

im getting the same error message, could this have to do with the fact i installed it on my work computer no problem? and now im getting this message from my home computer?

like 1 script per user ????

spikey, search your computer for gewarredux2.user.js

UPDATE of the NS_ERROR_FILE_ALREADLY_EXISTS... error message.

navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\insert computer user name here\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default/gm_scripts

delete the existing redux2 script there and install normally

yeah, it works. thanks ghetto bob, your the best :bang

my hero! :D

I thought that implicated the solution to delete it... ;) I should become more specific...

Im still having problems on the Armies page adding troops.... Also that thing on the top of the alliance page with "Add alliance as.... ALLIED FRIENDLY ENEMY OR NAPED it doesn't do anything but bring me to my profile.

But its a great script.

Just installed it and it works well

Vista Entp
Firefox 2.0.0.4
GreaseMonkey 0.7.20070607.0
and Redux Script 2.40

Excellent work guy's

The online/offline color coding of the PM links is a good feature. Any chance you could do this for the username for donators/non-donators?

Those buttons do work, you'll find that it takes you to your profile page, and scrol down, oh look it's added att the names of that alliance into whichever button you pressed, enemy in the enemies section etc etc etc, all you need to do is press the save button :)

Im still having problems on the Armies page adding troops....
Works for me...

Also that thing on the top of the alliance page with "Add alliance as.... ALLIED FRIENDLY ENEMY OR NAPED it doesn't do anything but bring me to my profile.
Yep... but scroll downwards. The people are added to the lists. I just dont have another way of saving, so you need to sav that changed profile then.


The online/offline color coding of the PM links is a good feature. Any chance you could do this for the username for donators/non-donators?
Possible, yes. But currently the freehoster I am running this on is killing me because of the traffic load... ;) So I guess adding another one would finish my business there ;)
There are talks for a solution, though.

Martok if you need something better to host this off of, let me know.

I'm working on getting some linux servers up, but until then I have a reseller at disposal.

So is anyone having issues with the converting addition on the left column that Redux adds in?

So is anyone having issues with the converting addition on the left column that Redux adds in?
Yes, and the alliance page is pushed over.

And it no longer shows the last 4 posts of the alliance page, and shows more than 4 recent attacks.

So is anyone having issues with the converting addition on the left column that Redux adds in?
yes i am too

So has anyone had any issues with this script since the google search was added to the far left column?

Everything seems to be wanting to be put into the far left as seen in the screenshot:

seems like the team changed something.
1) I cannot see convert all code boxes on the right sidebar.
2) No stocks on the main page.

Maybe something else. I don't know.

Maybe it's time to update?

zao

YES I AM

wtf this is the 4th time ive tried to post this and it hasnt shown up yet... :assassin

So is anyone having issues with the converting addition on the left column that Redux adds in?


Yup. Doesnt work for me anymore.

i cannot make task forces or convert my version must be buggered

My reduz appears to be broken with the new ads/search boxes.

The negative point of a script. Whenever something in the layout is changed, the whole script needs to be updated.
I believe someone was working on it, or atleast so that person told me.

My reduz appears to be broken with the new ads/search boxes.

ok, so am not the only one.

Fixed the layout scheme caused by layout changes.

I have taken on Martok's project as he's decided to no longer doing it.

This is only a quick fix for the time being. Redux will move into the HEdux era. I've been working for about 2 weeks on recoding / restructuring the coding to take out as much bloat as possible. I don't know how long it will take, but the HEdux 2.50 should be released mid to late September. It all depends on how the restructuring goes.

Can we get a mod (NOT BE CAUSE I AM APPARENTLY AN IDIOT) to give permissions for everyone to be able to download this file?
I downloaded it, had no problem. weird.

;bounce ;bravo ;90 :drinks ;88

I just wanted to download the file but it's labeled as "Attachments Pending Approval".
Can you please confirm this file?
Thanks.

hmm my redux script stopped working
any idea where I can download a working one?

Yeah Luke made a change and took off the google search on the bottom of the left column. Someone will have to fix it again..... helo? :D

Seems to be a bigger problem, mine stopped working as well. And I asked a friend of mine, his is also broken...
I'll download the original file again, and try if it works...

+bump+

anyone working on this?

cheers

can some1 give me a pm when this is fixed. nothing is working right

I dont think anyone is working on this but if someone is please let me know.

I dont think anyone is working on this but if someone is please let me know.
*Lets the world know*

After quite some time, I am back. Didn't think it would come to that, but the 5 weeks at OGame have told me that GEWar still has the best gameplay and even better community ;) ;ipunk ;ipunk

Anyway. I am back, and so developing here resumed. I have a version working with adblock, I am still working to have it show up correctly with ads.
And another note: my version will only be "classic-game". The ex-donut-game will not be supported by me, as I personally don't like it. Maybe if someone forks it, no prob ;)

;lame
Martok

Okay, there it is ;)

Changes and Downloads are in the first post.

Website will be updated 'soon' (meaning 'as I find some time'), including info on the usage of the new features.
For now a short guide to the new features:
Stock view: Go to the 'Invest in stocks'-Page, you will find a much larger table now. Most of it should be self-explaining, but there are some buttons:
x 1d 1w 2w 1m (and the same in the column header for 'All' rows)
They control the graphs: x removes the graph, the other buttons select 1day, 1week, 2weeks and 1month of data.

The colors show rise/fall of the stock values (left half) and of your holding values (right half).

The DOND helper adds a statistic at the bottom of the 'Remaining Amounts' List with 2 numbers: A means average of remaining, M means median which is the value in the middle. After speaking to Luke I am no longer sure if they are useful but I just left them in ;)

As usual, the new features can be switched on/off on Your Profile (which is now under Your Stuff).


Oh, and one thing: this script was not tested with FF 3.x, but in theory it should work just fine.

I downloaded the most recent version but it is not showing me my alliance forum on my homescreen.

Hey, I downloaded the newest version, but the alliance notes section is not there! Help!

Hey I can't see the alliance notes page.

Welcome back man was wondering what happened to you.

Hi!

Just a short intermediate question: is anyone using it? I have recently checked my status cache, and compared to the old days, it was pretty small. It really used to be a problem, but now it is no more. This usually happens when only a few people use it so... any problems?
I have indeed heard (in a side note) of 2 cases where it 'didnt work', but I can only fix it if you tell me...

I love this script! how's the update coming markos? ;96 ;96

hows this coming Martok! I am anxiously awaiting an update :bow :bow

Convert resources is down for me...:(

Is anyone willing to work in a team of people devoted to keeping this going? I would be willing to help out, once I learn how it works :D

With the addition of the uranium mines, parts of this script now do not work. Any chance of an upgrade? :)

I'm really hoping this gets upgraded for the new version!

I too would love an upgrade!
