Profile Viewer script

It's a simple GreaseMonkey (GreaseMonkey is a firefox add-on allowing you to run custom scripts on selected pages) script intended to make browsing player profiles easier and faster. Except showing complete profile data it also allows to check and interact with other players. Script is pretty extension independent, but some changes in UD interface made by extensions may make using this script a bit more difficult.

Script is available:

Functions

Currently Profile Viewer embeds itself in UD screen, and iwitness record pages. It allows you to:

  • Quickly check profile details of survivors and zombies you interact with ([profile] tab)
  • Navigate to their group page immediately ([profile] tab)
  • Check their skills ([human skills] and [zombie skills] tabs)
  • Check their clothes ([clothes] tab)
  • Quickly attack them using attack links ([links] tab)
  • Check their Rogues Gallery entries ([links] tab)
  • Look for their name using google ([links] tab)
  • Add/remove players to your contacts with 1 click from the main page

Compatibility

Script isn't dependent on any specific UD Firefox extension, but some of them may cause problems with Profile Viewer. If my script doesn't work with your configuration post some info (extensions, versions, screenshot) on the talk page (of this page).

Profile Viewer was tested (on Firefox 2 and 3) with following configurations:

  • Plain UD interface (no extensions)
  • UDTool
  • ZUDTool
  • UDToolbar
  • UDWidget
  • UDToolbar + UDTool
  • UDToolbar + UDTool + UDWidget

Generally it should work on all not mentioned configurations, but I can't guarantee anything.

Options

There are few configurable functionalities/options of Profile Viewer:

  • Stay visible - if you enable this option Profile Viewer will try to scroll with your screen. Convenient when you are reading really long event logs.
  • Opening all links in new tabs - pretty usable for laptop users who don't have MMB and still want to open links quickly.
  • Mouse hover time - you can simply change here the time the script waits before loading profiles.
  • Auto update monitor - checks for new updates of profile viewer once per day and displays update info if a new version was released.
  • Manual update check - quickly checks for updates, and shows relevant info if there's a new version.
All script options are available in greasemonkey menu, in 'User Script Commands' submenu:
