Public release of tool (HarmlessButler)

Ok, if possible, I need to see the first errors that occur.  Greasemonkey has a bad habit of causing firefox to report line numbers within GM itself instead of the actual script running, so that doesn't give me a point from which to search.

I see by the filepath that you're using linux (or mac).  I don't have a mac, but I can test latest versions of my script on linux and see if I glean anything.


Unfortunately, with UIv2 around the corner, I'm not going to be doing any major work.  At the moment I'm more concerned with documenting current behavior so I can compare it with UIv2 and see what to bring to the UIv2-compatible rewrite.  (After all, once UIv2 comes out, I can no longer run HB 0.9.x to review its original behavior.)

I left my linux laptop at work, so I'll revisit this after I pick it up again Friday (tomorrow being Labor Day)

My apologies.  My previous statement was a labeling error only...I just finished spending my two minutes of silence and then reviewed some information on Wikipedia.

Special Notice:  With the release of a new UI imminent, HarmlessButler is about to become obsolete.  There's likely going to be an HB 2.0 to go with the new UI, however, and chances are that you will want access to the old data you had on the original either for your own informational purposes or for setting up the next generation of UI aftermarket modding.

After UI 2.0 comes and HB is no longer operable, players who used the sync tool included with HB will be able to request a copy of the information they have stored on my server (which includes stuff like any city groupings, notes, sorting rules, and specialization tags you may have set).

For now this data would just be a raw JSON dump, which is ugly but still useful if you just want the information.  If there's enough interest, however, I'll also code up a way to view the data online in a more aesthetically pleasing graphical format.

If you do not use the sync tool, however, there's nothing I can do for you.  You can find your data in your own browser using the about:config page and searching for illyriad, but you'll be on your own with regard to making sense of it.  If you want to retain some information but prefer not to use sync+my server, you're better off taking some screenshots of Illyriad pages that show what you want remembered.

If I deem it useful/desireable, I will be making an HB 2.0, but it will not be using browser-side storage, so sync will be your only option for a nice automatic upgrade without data loss.

The actual timers page is now up.
