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. (NOTE: Requires a version check override such as Add-on Compatibility Reporter to function.) NOTE: UDBrain is offline according to a note on the website: UDBrain has been taken offline. I recently upgraded my website to a new layout and backend, and rewriting UDBrain would be too much work with too little gain.
  • Update for dark buildings.
• 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. (Link Down)
• 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 No longer updated.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 (Link Down)

Tampermonkey Scripts

User Interface

• UI Enhancement This adds enhancements to the UD user interface, such as links from wiki of suburb and building/area location (general locations redirect to general information especially on junkyards, warehouses, and factories), time to AP recovery, see barricade levels on buildings you visited either inside or outside, know the location where you are sleeping, and random colors on tagged buildings/locations.

Greasemonkey Scripts

Actions and Inventory

• Dumbwit Button This adds a Dumwit button in the Actions section for quick screenshots. screenshot
  • Broken in Chrome; only opens blank tab.
• UDInventory A simple, no-frills inventory and search compactor. Combines weapons, ammo, FAKs, syringes, fuel cans, and mall search options. Screenshot - Works in both GreaseMonkey (Firefox) and Chrome
• UD Speech Combiner - Enlarges the speech input box and combines it with graffiti and broadcast boxes.
  • UrbanDead BiggerSpeechBox – Enlarges the speech, graffiti, and broadcast input boxes to more useful sizes. Basically obsoleted by UD Speech Combiner, but some people prefer it.
• Urban Dead HUD Adds access keys for actions and inventory, adds a long-distance map, and tracks distances to the places you specify.
  • Doesn't seem to work on 1.5.0.4

Maps

• Show nav redesign (Redesign of the original script changing only the looks to fit the style of the game). Show navigation in the game. This shows a small map of your suburb and of the world, with important buildings coloured. See screenshot. No XPI available. I did not make this script - if the author of the above script opposes to this being uploaded, please remove this! (I couldn't manage to contact the original author.)
  • • I am the author, I have started working on this again, please contact me, torbjorn.lindahl at g mail dot com
  • Will not work with Show Misses GM script.
  • Crashes Firefox when used with z-udtool (Which is a shame, cos its a nice script)
  • Still suffers from the bug from above script, showing you as in another building near map edges
• UD Revive Radar shows distance to nearest 3 (or more) publicly-noted revivification points (more info) (Note: revive point list in the script is out of date)

Profiles and Characters

• chud Grabs all survivors on the current map cell that need healing and compiles them into a list. Clicking on names in this list will attempt to use a first-aid kit on the specified player. Requires Diagnosis. (Now updated to work after the July 09 UD update, including additional enhancements) Screenshot.
• DSS S2 Target Highlighter highlights targets from the Rogues Gallery and Zerg Liste, making it a lot easier for both regular players and bounty hunters to identify these characters and take appropriate action. (Automatically updated.)
• MassContacts - adds several powerful features to you contacts page to allow bulk handling of contacts, including "pasting in" lists of contacts to add them all at once, rather than one at a time, similarly changing colors / dropping contacts, and creating lists of contacts use this way or to share.
• UD Lister - This script produces text listings of contacts with profile URI's in a separate window sorted by color key used. It is useful for listing groups of players in forums, emails and wikis.
• UD Profile Expander Shows you the group name, level, experience, and pertinent skills (Free Running, Body Building, Lab Experience, Scent Trail, Brain Rot, Ransack) of everyone in your current cell at the click of a button. - Works in both GreaseMonkey (Firefox) and Chrome
• Urban Dead Attack Links - Shows attack links for pistols, shotguns, knifes, axes, tennis rackets, maul and bite next to a character's name, and subsequently pastes the URL into the URL bar. This allows to attack again the same way by refreshing the page. Tested in Firefox (22:25, 4 August 2012 (BST)).
