Assuming that you already have greasemonkey and this script installed, and by "work the greasemonkey" you mean make modifications to a script, here is how:

When you installed the greasemonkey add on for Firefox, it placed a little monkey face on the status bar (bottom right).

Right click the monkey face, and click on Manage User Scripts.

From there, on the left hand side, you will see a list of all the scripts you have installed. You can select the script you wish to edit, and click the Edit button.

For your first time modifying a greasemonkey script you will be asked to select the program you wish to use to do so, personally I use Notepad++ (from sourceforge.net), but you can use anything you want.

I finally finished the Auto City Buy module for this script, and posted it here: http://userscripts.org/topics/18417

Sorry it took so long (Christmas vacations).

Auto City Buy
This mod will allow you to set the script to automatically purchase city (in groups of 10) based on the best RoR (or RoI as some have pointed out).

If you haven't added it already with the Withdraw to Hitlist mod, then add the Bank Withdraw function:

function bank_withdraw(params, timer){
  if (logLevel >= 2) GM_log("bank_withdraw: amount= " + params);
  var amount = params;
  if (document.getElementsByName("withdraw_amount")[0] != null){
    var submit = Utils.getElementsByXPath('//input[@value="Withdraw"]')[0];
    document.getElementsByName("withdraw_amount")[0].value = amount;
    Timer.start(submit, 'Withdrawing $' + amount + ' from the bank...', 5);
  }
}

Add the folowing functions:

var logLevel = 2;
function autoCityBuy_exec(){
  if (!boss.preferences.autoCityBuy) return;
  if (boss.autoCityBuy_cost == undefined) boss.autoCityBuy_cost = 0;
  if (boss.autoCityBuy_item == undefined) boss.autoCityBuy_item = "";
  if (logLevel >= 2) GM_log("autoCityBuy_exec: boss.autoCityBuy_cost= " + menu_intToDollars(boss.autoCityBuy_cost)
    + "; boss.autoCityBuy_item= " + boss.autoCityBuy_item);
  if (boss.autoCityBuy_cost == 0 || boss.autoCityBuy_item == "") {
    var action = new Object();
    action.message = "Checking next city purchase...";
    action.page = 'city';
    action.func = 'autoCityBuy_getBestBuy';
    action.params = [];
    action.time = 3;
    boss.actions.autoCityBuy = action;
    if (Page.c_page == 'city') document.location.reload();
  } else {
    var money;
    if (boss.preferences.autoCityBuy_withBank && boss.bank_cash > 2000) money = boss.cash + boss.bank_cash - 2000;
    else money = boss.cash;
    if (boss.autoCityBuy_cost <= money) {
      if (boss.autoCityBuy_cost <= boss.cash){
        var action = new Object();
        action.message = "Buying property...";
        action.page = 'city';
        action.func = 'autoCityBuy_buyProperty';

      }
    } else {
      if (logLevel >= 2) GM_log("autoCityBuy_exec: not enough money to buy yet, need " 
        + menu_intToDollars(boss.autoCityBuy_cost - money) + " more.");
      setTimeout('window.location.reload()', 3600000); // Reload the page after 1 hour (incase nothing else is happening)
    }

When I select this option, the script tries to do a Bank Robbery but I do not have the items to qualify for that Job. I was just messing around to see what would happen if I sold my armored trucks and it seems I have stumbled across something that has been overlooked?

if you have a look at this script

http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/37709

it has an auto buy module based on the ROR... except id prefer to use this script because the script i just mentioned has a messy menu and 2 conflicting scripts that do the same thing would be a bit pointless.

EDIT: I just tried it out and it seems the CAPTCHA is trapping the auto buys. It happens after about 20 - 30 attempts/refreshes. Maybe if the refresh rate is incresed...

I was able to do it by editing the script.

near the last 10 or 20 lines of the script, find this line:

action.time - Page.now > 5 ? timer = action.time - Page.now : timer = 5;

instead of the number 5, change it to however many seconds you want. obviously, change both number 5s. it seemed to work OK for me. I changed it to 600 and now the script refreshes every 10 minutes.

I replaced the old script with Druid Keeper's at the beginning of the "Script mods from TheDruidsKeeper" (http://userscripts.org/topics/18417) but if I select, say Drug Smuggling by Sea, I get Error in module 'skill' on line 1429: boss.actions.jobs is undefined and the Status loops Trying to recover... in 5 s over and over.

I thought it was only the jobs that have the new weapon drops but it also does it for Drug Dealing (but not Mugging). Setting it to Best payout or Best Experience seems to work fine. Any ideas on how to fix it as I'd like to get some Tactical Shotguns so I can do Illegal Weapon Smuggling. :)

Mr. Mike, Pea Cracker's code has changed quite a bit from this original code - I don't know where it was branched either.
Attempting to merge them at this point would be quite difficult and likely to break things.
I only just started looking at the code and made a few small changes to fix things in this project (TheDruidsKeeper).

BTW, Pea Cracker has released a new version of Mob Wars Helper+ a few hours ago.

You might want to install that and try it. Not sure it has all the features mentioned above, but you could do a code compare and find out.
Enjoy, and thanks, Pea Cracker!

Hi TheDruidsKeeper,

first of all, thx for the extentions for the script!

Unfortunately the part for autobuying city properties do not work
If I check this part:
Automatically buy city with best ROR: v (bought in groups of 10)

Then it will load and refresh the page, but it does nothing although it should buy a lot of cheaper properties (Villa, Restaurant, etc) with higher ROI than the others and I have enough money for it.

Could you please fix this?

Thank you in advance! :)
