I would suggest to have a timer in the browser title bar so you can leave it minimized.

Ok, noted. I'll edit the code and put it as the next release. I'm not sure about how to make a dynamic title countdown using userscript although I know of a way using javascript. How about setting the time which the horn can be blown as the title?

Not bad, thanks a lot!

However, this script:

http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/53410

has a dynamic title countdown. Maybe it can help...

Wow, give me a couple of weeks to dissect that looonnngggg code.. Its the examination period so i won't be working on the code till next week.

Meanwhile, for your information, watch out for these 2 scripts..

These obvious plagiarism is not tolerated by me, if you can see, even the variable names are the same =.="

Of course I can give you all the time you need, since you are even free to ignore my requests! I just thought the other script could be useful to you, I honestly do not expect you to fulfil all my wishes (but I am glad you have welcomed my suggestion)! I imagine you have a life beyond MouseHunt.

And I usually don't to waste my time with copies, I prefer the original! :-)

Thanks. Its just a joy to see more downloads each day, so I'll try to keep the script at its best anytime, hopefully popularizing this script

With the latest update, this script is now perfect.

Kudos to the author!

It seems the latest version fails to display the alert window...

Yes, I've also noticed that. Im in the process of fixing that small pest bug. Also the title timer counts slowly if the computer laggs so I'm thrown with so many problems, i'm wondering why did i release this version so fast :X sorry bout that

Lol. Blacklist. You just have to face it. People want to steal your scripts. I've had my own janked from me.

Oh, nice job in referencing Wr3cktangle.
I've talked to him on facebook and he's no longer able to do any of the script b/c he's busy so much. So I officially took over his scripts and improved them further.

In the previous version v1.11, there was a sound when the horn is ready and the alert window is shown. But in the new version v1.12, the sound is gone. I think that it would be nice to bring the sound back, so when you are not in front of your computer, you would be able to hear the sound when the horn is ready and go and sound it.

Thanks vladin79 for your suggestion. Will be working on your suggestion soon...

Was wondering if it was possible for the timer next to the tabs only appear on Mousehunt tab and not on the other Facebook application tabs.

But otherwise it's a great script.

Hmm.. its strange, but where else does the timer appear on? Could you list some URL's which the timer appears strangely? Because this is not supposed to happen :X

nvm it works great now, i think i know why it didn't work, its probably cause I deleted script until
// >>>*** Start of active code ***<<< part.

I noticed that before I installed this script, if I blew the horn on my laptop I would get credit for others joining my hunt. Now that the script is installed, it only hunts for me and doesn't trigger any others.

Actually, it is the same as clicking on the horn, its just that you do not see the additional bonus points you received when you sound the horn. Clicking the 'ok' button simulates the actual cliking of the horn, but only sounds the horn after a short delay 2-6 seconds delay. Its probably that someone else sounded the horn during that period..

Personally, I havn't seen the longtail yet, I'm not a beta tester for it.. Anyway, I do not support autohorns, there are many autohorns out there, but be careful about getting banned..

the "to-the-second timer displayed on the title " , is it work on opera and chrome ?

 
osbron Script's Author

As far as I know, the timer countdown also works on google chrome. For opera, you can try it out.

I conform that opera cant display that timer ~
BTW, is it that chrome cant display the horn alert window?
