Instruction details
- General
- press a filter to select it
- select multiple filters at will
- clean the filters by pressing the red cross on the right
- RoundTripTime
- mouseOver the duration cell - a blue background time will appear
- until the script learns your tribe the time shown will be: ??:??:??
- visit the Send Troops Page so that the script knows your tribe
- this time tells you when will your merchants return from this trade
- textboxes
- the "Ok" on any of the textboxes is simply removing focus from it
- (eg.: on the ratio write "1.5" and then press anywhere else in the page)
- alliance filters
- case sensitive
- for multiple alliance just separate them by ";"
- for partial match check the checkbox to the left of the textbox
- partial match checkbox should be set before the alliance(s) - otherwise refresh
- if you already had an alliance set and want to change it - might need refresh
- known bug: searching for empty/space alliance
- shortcut key "space"
- pressing the "space" key almost anywhere will go to the next page
- on last page returns to previous page
- disabled when focus is on alliance textboxes (they can have spaces in their names)
- auto next page (ANP)
- triggered only on new offers page
- "reset" does not reset this back to 9 - I think it's more user friendly this way
- will only go to the next page the amount of configured times
- configurable in the first textbox of action row of the filter table
- enabled text box - configures how many ANP can be done
- disabled textbox - shows how many ANP can still be done before stopping
- configurable ratio coloring
- this is configurable inside the script right at the start of the script
- default is turned off: it is a bit confusing to have duration + ratio coloring turned on
- configurable alliance column
- this is configurable inside the script right at the start of the script
- default is turned on: shows the column
- even without showing the column, the alliance filters can be used
- translations
- before you retrieve the words in your language you will see the english defaults
- visit the following pages to retrieve your language words:
- "Alliance" - retrieved from any player profile page
- "Accept Offer" - retrieved from any acceptable offer at the market itself
To Do

Generic script goals
- simplify some tasks - repetitive tasks; too-many-steps tasks; ...
- no support for other browsers - using of firefox GM_set/GM_get to save permanent info
- no need for language translations - simple new icons OR words/icons from travian
- low priority on Plus support - Plus users already have benefits over others
- ultra low priority on country specific HTML support - some travian servers have changed HTML in the game
