I've created a KDice add-on that allows you to keep track of users and their game play.
My motivation behind creating this tool is that I often forget users and their tendencies. Some players stab; some players are abusive, some players are friendly, etc. It is a huge advantage to know this information before going into the game. Unfortunately my memory is not strong enough to recall all previous games I've played with people. So I created a tool that remembers for you. Here is an example of it in use: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/17/screenshot20110515at300.png/ The add-on currently allows you to store information about individuals while in game. But I plan on expanding it to also allow you to see the opinions voiced by your friends/trusted users. I know some people are thinking; "Hey isn't there already a review section to kdice?". Yes there is; however, as many veterans to this game have come to realize; the review section is pretty much just a wall for angry beginners to voice their angst and real quality reviews by yourself/friends are quickly lost in the vast ocean of non-actionable reviews. This is the first version of this add-on and I hope to continue improving it over time. At this point; I'm looking for some early adopters to start using it and voicing opinions about features they would like to see. Ryan is currently unavailable to improve this game; so I figured why not have community sourced improvements in the meantime. Requirements: 1. Firefox (Chrome will be supported eventually; please tell me if this is important to you) 2. Greasemonkey (A simple extension for firefox; easily installed at the following link: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/) Once you have the above requirements; my Kdice add-on can be installed at the following link; very simple; just press "Install". http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/102923 Please feel free to contact me via this thread; in game (deadcode); via the userscript website; or via email (dustin at nov8rix dot com). Usage Instructions: 1. Press "Update Players" while in a game. 2. Green boxes will appear on the upper left of each players avatar. 3. Click the green box and a dialog will appear allowing to you view the current notes you have taken on the users; as well as the ability to modify them and save. Please excuse the crude nature of this release. I literally started on this tool yesterday. Let me know when you encounter bugs (giving me detailed information about how you encountered the bug will help me fix it swiftly and is much appreciated). Also please give me feedback. What direction would you like this tool to grow in? As a side note; if there is anyone out there with graphics knowledge that wants to collaborate on this project please let me know. I could definitely use some help making this product easy on the eyes. I hope everyone finds this tool as valuable as I do. Thank you and enjoy! |

at 7:30 AM, Monday May 30, 2011 EDT just a guess: maybe you have to tag the <tr>'s you highlighted so you don't keep highlighting them. i could be wrong though

at 7:42 AM, Monday May 30, 2011 EDT Yeah I'm working on a more efficient way of doing it. I'm currently using a modified highlight script from the web; but I think I can make it much more efficient.

at 7:53 AM, Monday May 30, 2011 EDT now that you 2 scriptwizards are here in this thread, would it be easily possible to do a v-edit button?
something that merges 2 posts together (well only for the people that use the script ofc) if the second post is started by a default commandcode like V-EDIT for example post 1 Ryan: I care post 2 V-EDIT:I=who;care=cares so if a post starts with V-EDIT, it will look for the most recent post by the same poster (I guess it will only work if it's on the same 10 posts page), look for the first match and replace, then the second, etc so if a post is editted like that, such a 10 post forumpage will only show 9 posts for the people that use the script. maybe too complicated but I just wanted it out of my system |

at 3:35 PM, Wednesday June 1, 2011 EDT Proxy Cheater had a request. Would it be possible to turn off all avatars with DC Tools. We all know that you can click them to turn them off, but when his son wants to play that can be annoying to keep doing. Adding censoring for foul language was brought up again.

at 3:50 PM, Wednesday June 1, 2011 EDT or, deadcode could add an extra trait: offensive avatar
that combined with an option to auto-censor each avatar that has at least X (to be set by user) flags as offensive that trait could ideally also be sorted on by a mod search function so I could quickly find the most flagged ones |

at 6:05 PM, Wednesday June 1, 2011 EDT We definitely need a way of prioritizing these features. There are way more feature requests then I'm able to code on my part time basis. Is there a free solution for this; or can we use the idea section (not sure if it is even ideal for this stuff).
Anyway; we need a way of prioritizing/voting on a large number of feature requests. |
