WARNING: READ EVERYTHING BEFORE INSTALLING AND USING THIS SCRIPT!!

About:

This script is a combination of various scripts that i did some time ago, and others that were requested, thought this script is NOT yet finished, it's a pre-release, some features need some changes, and others are still to be added, for now enjoy what it can do.
Also one thing that i wanted to do was to make this script multi-language, that means, no one needs to rip my script just to converting it to his own language, the only thing you will need to do, and when i say you, i mean everyone that might want to use this script, just only have to help me translating to your own language, continue to read to understand why and how... enjoy :)

Features:

  • Selective advertisement remover
  • Resources can have different colors at your own desire
  • Collect debris fields resources in Galaxy view
  • Spy moons directly from Galaxy view
  • Display the total of researches done so far in Research view
  • Display maximum ships and defenses that can be built with easy input buttons
  • Display the time left to build every ship, defense, building or research
  • Shows a calculator in "Fleet" page to help you calculate the number of cargo ships needed to send
  • Gives the possibility for a minimized mode of each build
  • Shows a calculator in resources page for hours and days of production calculation


Screenshots:


Known issues:

  • To use the debris colector feature, you only need to click the link in the popup, it already calculates the ships needed to be sent, but in case you want to change that number, left to the link there is and input with that calculated value, and when you first click on it to change it, the popup goes away, you have to show the popup again to finally change it, for now, i can't do anything about this :\. and this same problem applies to the spy feature
  • The display time left feature might not always work, because some people have moons and etc, and i don't, so i didn't had the possibility to test it in those cases, in case you notice anything weird please report, thank you.
  • To use the time display, you need to visit the resources page every time your resources production change (when you build a mine for example), the script needs to fetch those production factors in order to calculate the remaining time
  • I recommend to use the default skin of ogame, simply because some things this script does might not look very good using a custom skin, so the script was made to work fully with the default skin


Next features to come (desc order by priority):

  • Add last visit systems in the "galaxy" page
  • Rewrite the way of the advance message center is working
  • Add total of resources on title of spy reports
  • Add savable messages feature
  • Add "new" image for unseen messages
  • Add to each build the number of cargos needed to send the remaining resources or the total resources of that build
  • Add to each build the remaining resources needed with different color
  • Add expandable / collapsible feature to the left menu


Installing and using:

First, you must be aware that scripts are forbidden in OGame, and even if this script can't be detected if you say in forums (for example) that you use them you will be banned!!

IN CASE YOU DON'T KNOW THIS BY NOW, YOU NEED TO USE Firefox AND THE Greasemonkey ADDON!!

  1. First click the install link at your right and click install in the popup window
  2. Login to you account
    If your language is one of the list below the script is already working, if not you need to wait that i update the languages support, if you see stuff like ?????? thats because it isn't updated yet, to this i can't do anything, i only know two languages and bad, so if you want to help translating i would be very glad, and this is the forum topic where you can do it: http://userscripts.org/forums/1/topics/392
  3. Change the settings as you like in the options page


FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

  • Can you do "this" feature of "this" link?
    It depends, i don't like to copy features of others scripts, if you really want "that" or "that" script then use it, if it doesn't work for your language ask the creator, i won't make a feature simply because of making it multi-language, i've done some and i didn't like the felling -_- ... BUT if you have an idea of improving that feature i might consider, so instead of just asking me to do "this" or "that" try improving it first and then tell me your idea :] some of this script features aren't new but most of them have little improvements that I or someone thought about

  • Can you do the "Empire" view?
    Yes i can, but i will NOT do it, i could do it using two ways:
    1. since we need to fetch the information of each planet i could make the script get those informations when you visit the need pages (they would be: "overview","buildings","research","shipyard" and "defense") now imagine you have 9 planets, that means you would have to visit 9*5 = 45 pages in total to get an somehow updated version of the info... now ask yourself, do you want to visit 45 pages before going to empire view? and when browsing those pages you were already seeing the wanted information
    2. i could make the script getting those pages automatically without leaving the page you are at the moment, well this might sound awesome to you, but now think again, when you are visiting a webpage you a requesting to a server that page, that means ogame would know you were requesting 45 pages, this also applies to the previous reason, also i couldn't make the script fetch those pages at the same time, because ogame servers have already a hard time delivering to you one page at a time so try imagine 45, so basically this would be like the first solution but without your interaction and possible script detection... do you want to get banned?

  • Can this script be detected?
    In a short answer, no! it cannot be detected? The long answer, actually there is a way they can detect, not the script itself but they can detect you are using something different than the original ogame, so they can conclude you are using a script, and these are the harvest link and the spymoon link, and reason is when you click them, you are sending a information to the server without previously request for any page, in the normal way you would have to request for the fleet page first and his successive pages, and only then send the information to spy something or harvest something, but with the script you only request the galaxy page, BUT this kind of feature exist long before my script and until now i never heard of anyone getting banned because of it, so i can conclude they don't have any kind of tracking system for this case or they aren't doing anything... but if you feel more comfortable you can disable these two feature, everything else in the script doesn't depend of pages requests, so it's simply impossible to get caught...


Languages/Servers supported:

I will add more working languages by request, just say it.
