Any chance of implementing support for other languages? I don't really care for the language of the displayed information - but I'd like the script to work on game servers other than ogame.fr. There is a similar function in NeoGame - but it, too, does not support all the game servers I'm interested in.

Heya Vess

As it happens, I wrote a similar albeit much simpler script which supports all languages:
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/53926

jeanc: In order to get the strings for Metal, Crystal, etc. just use whatever strings the server uses in the header. The code I use is:

var mstring = document.getElementById('resources').getElementsByTagName('tr')[1].getElementsByTagName('font')[0].innerHTML;
var cstring = document.getElementById('resources').getElementsByTagName('tr')[1].getElementsByTagName('font')[1].innerHTML;
var dstring = document.getElementById('resources').getElementsByTagName('tr')[1].getElementsByTagName('font')[2].innerHTML;


Also, you don't need those strings. You'll notice that you can get all the info you need from the 'title' attribute of the 5th anchor in every other class 'flight'. Here's my code to get the info:


var flights = document.getElementsByClassName('flight');
var info = new Object;
for (var i=1; i < flights.length; i=i+2)
{
var title = flights[i].getElementsByTagName('a')[5].title;
var elements = title.split(": ");
var type = elements[0];
var m = parseInt(elements[2].replace(/\./g,''));
var c = parseInt(elements[3].replace(/\./g,''));
var d = parseInt(elements[4].replace(/\./g,''));
if (!info[type])
info[type] = new Array(m,c,d);
else
{
info[type][0] = info[type][0] + m;
info[type][1] = info[type][1] + c;
info[type][2] = info[type][2] + d;
}
}


Note that my code just adds up all the totals for each type of mission - your script will need to do something more complicated. In any case though, you should be able to use that to make getting the information entirely language independent :)

Hope that helps!

Hi

It turns out the code I posted is horribly buggy - it's only reliable for transport fleets. Sorry! I'm working on fixing it, but for now, don't rely on it too much! I was just trying to make the point that it's probably better to navigate the dom than search for specific strings, as otherwise making it support other languages is a huge pain. Good luck!
