Firefox Tools

NOTICE: With the release of Firefox 3, most of these plug-ins will no longer work until the creators update them. For those who still want to use Firefox 3, there are ways to allow these extensions to install. However, doing so may pose security risks on your browser, and it is entirely the user's responsibility whether or not to proceed in installing these extensions in FF3.

If you wish to continue using an extension, there are several options:

• Keep using Firefox 2.
• Install the Nightly Tester Tools extension, which lets you override compatibility for individual extensions.
• Firefox 3 compatible extensions - unofficial updates to several extensions.

Firefox Extensions

• UDBrain Extension - Uses a MySQL database to track the barricade status of all buildings in Malton. Users will see the abbreviated barricade report of all buildings in the database printed on their map, and will automatically submit barricade reports of all buildings they visit to the database. This database can be viewed in its entirety at on the UDbrain website, making it very easy to figure out what buildings likely contain recently active survivors whose players use this extension.
• UD Automapper Automatically maps Urban Dead - made for the mapping of Monroeville - to install, allow ud.malton.info to install add ons - the map updates every five minutes from its data.
• UDTool for Firefox 3 - Offers name highlighting, with factions to separate out groups; HP values are colorized; stacks inventory of same type; linking; and other features (Full list included in extension package).
• z-udtool Modified version of UDTool that adds various, mostly zombie, features such as player list reorganization and quick attack buttons in addition to everything UDTool has. No longer updated. Only works on firefox 0.9 -> 1.16

  scent death map w/ numbers
  ScentMapNumbers Shows decimal values for the color codes displayed in the new Scent Death map table. For example, a bright yellow block's cell would have the text "g.r|255.255" in it. This script is intended to facilitate reverse-engineering what the color code values mean, but may also be useful to individuals who are color blind or have trouble seeing the colors due to display issues. A picture of the modified scent death map is shown on the right here.
• Show navigation on map Show navigation (up, down, right, left) on the map. XPI also available.
• Show navigation in-game Show navigation in the game. This shows a small map of your suburb and of the world, with important buildings coloured. See screenshot (400 kb jpg file) XPI also available.

You can also open links to Iwitness records showing that profile and to the Rouges Gallery record for that profile (if any).
