Cantr II Discussion Forum

Thank you Greek! This is very welcome!

Unstable version of Cantr Enhanced 1.8 is available. You install it at your own risk, but it works fine almost always, at least on FF.

New stable 1.8.2 version can be downloaded on http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/109440.

What's new?
1. Whispering using AJAX from events page.
It's possible to talk to everyone or whisper to selected character like this:


Be careful when whispering secrets, I didn't find any bugs, but I also can't guarantee it's always working

2. It's possible to rename characters on events page.


As a result, I've decided to change default behaviour when clicking on character name. You'll have to click on character's name instead of hovering it to get CE popup menu. It's planned to add more char data on the popup, so it's better to make it easy to read and not disappear so fast.
To access full character description page you have to click on the name and then first button to the right.
If you don't like this new feature then you can uncheck it in CE options to have old way of showing popup.

3. Much faster
Something wrong happened with new Chrome and some js instructions work much slower than on firefox. I've managed to make script faster by ~50% on firefox and by ~80% on Chrome (tests were done for about 6000 natural events).

4. Line is where you stopped reading
There's a line which points first event which was shown by autorefresh when browser tab with events page was not focued.


5. Toolbar on the right
Which shows charmenu buttons in convenient place

All features can be disabled/enabled in CE options on player page

What next?
I'd like to show more data on the popup, but it's impossible without server-side changes, so doing them to use just in CE would be a big waste of time. Maybe something like that will be made available for the game itself.
I'm going to make "whispers list" saveable in browser storage (just like buildings&vehicles bookmarks), but I'll need feedback about it when you'll be more familiar with new features.

I was first excited about the line, but if it only applies to autorefresh, that would only benefit people who leave the tab open in the background. It would be more useful if it showed where unread events start when you enter the character from the list, because if you don't do anything, the old events are going to stay there for several clicks.

Do you mean a line which shows events which were never read?
It's a good idea, but impossible to do in external script. However it can be easily done in the game itself.

Tick signaler was malfunctioning in new CE. There's new version 1.8.2.1 where this bug is fixed.

Hohoho!

Recent game changes have broken some features, now they should work again.

For the next version, would it be possible to add the possibility of bookmarking locations so that they appear at the top of the page no matter which category they are in? If a location has a lot of vehicles, it's annoying having to scroll down to buildings each time, especially when moving a hundred kilos of resources.

It doesn't work? It should.

Oh, I forgot it was there. It does work.

Is there any way to make the "pick/drop all" button work on my computer? I use Chrome...

EDIT: Oh, hey, now it works

Using the new version of CantrEnhanced for a few days now, I love the whisper-function

I can't bookmark buildings any longer.

Maybe something to do with the last changes? I read it had something to do with the events page, if I remember correctly...

Yep, it's because of b&v changes. I'll fix it later, so it'll go with other important changes.

How difficult would it be to enable drop/pick up all for Finnish language?
