Topic: CA-Tools Bookmarklet

[Hoots.Bude]

I'm developing a bookmarklet, if you don't know what one is, read here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bookmarklet

This site won't let me post the link to drag to your toolbar (it adds http:// which breaks it), so create a bookmark on your bookmarks toolbar (I'm assuming firefox is being used, but I hear it works on chrome too) then edit the bookmark and put the code below as the address.

Code: [Select]

javascript:(function(){var%20d=document;var%20catbx=d.getElementById('CA-Tools');if(!catbx){var%20s=d.createElement('script');s.setAttribute('src','http://cage.northcornwall.com/hoots/catbox.js');s.setAttribute('type','text/javascript');d.body.appendChild(s);catbx=d.createElement('div');catbx.setAttribute('id','CA-Tools');var%20d2=d.getElementById('app_content_46755028429');d2.parentNode.insertBefore(catbx,d2);}else%20catboxpoop();})();
Usage: Click the bookmarklet when a loaded Castle Age page is displayed.

Current Tools are:

Land Best Buy¹ - Highlights in Green the property with the best return on investment.

BSI/LSI² - Battle Stat Index/Leveling Speed Index, PvP build rank etc

Hitlist Generator - Adds those who have attacked you to the CA-Tools site Hitlist (under construction, for CA-Tools members only)

Gift Accepter - Accepts all Gifts/Invites, without going to Facebook requests page. If you use this, then click ignore on Facebook requests page for castle age items, as they will have gone!

Battle Buttons - for those who cannot normally see them on the following monsters: World Hydra, War of the Red Plains, Both Bahamuts, Azriel, Skaar Deathrune, Genesis, and Ragnarok. (Tool suggested by Hrafn, good call, thanks!)

Bookmarks - You can now bookmark any PvP battle for future use (requires CA-Tools membership for use)

More to come!!!

None of YOUR information is stored in any way³, if you don't believe me check the source code (address in bookmarklet code)


¹ Automatically executed when you request the land page.
² Automatically executed when you request the keep page.
³ we will collect hitlist information at your request.

Now as a Greasemonkey script!!!

If you have Greasemonkey installed click Here

Also works as a Google Chrome Extension!!!

It works just fine with SeaMonkey also. I really like the gift accepter feature, really makes short work out of accepting gifts.

Did you add the attack / fortify buttons for people who don't get them automatically?

It's probably not a tool I'll use, but it is interesting work and I'll probably poke through the source code.  However, by hosting it yourself you're allowing instant updates . . . without notifying the users.

I did not know that happened, can you specify how and when, I have some alts I can use to recreate your findings and add these buttons.

This is true that I can (and will) do updates, I will however stick to my word that I will not collect any data unless requested by the user ie: hitlist generator.
Unlike my other tools, everything is run at client side and the user can look at the code at anytime to see what I'm doing.

I will post a version number from now on so users will know there has been an update.

NB: you can click the hitlist generator without sending any info, the send button will be at the bottom of the page.

Oh, I trust you.  I'm just pointing out the way these things work for people less technical.

Here's what I have posted up on the direct links to the larger Stamina and Energy buttons:

Thanks for making this bookmarklet available to us, it's really handy.

@mallorn, you're welcome

@hrafn, writing button insertion code today, hopefully will be available later tonight.

Update
Battle buttons now active

Feature request

Total the War [ More ] screen for each general using the equations:

Attack = ( Effective General Attack * 6 + Effective Active General Modifier * 6 ) +  Sum( each Effective Item Slot Attack )
Defense = ( Effective General Defense * 6  + Effective Active General Modifier * 6  ) +  Sum( each Effective Item Slot Defense )

This would be wrong for generals that have item bonuses, couldn't be shown for players, but would still provide a lot of information.

"Gift Accepter" now featuring "RETURN FAVOR" to those you've received gifts from.
