I've been having a few problems with scripts lately, and...

I've been having a few problems with scripts lately, and while I've got most sorted out, I have one issue I'm at a loss to correct. As Horwasp, I used to get a note in the roll over text if an enemy ship was cloaked or not. I don't anymore, and I don't recall what plugin displayed this info, or if it's an in game thing and a script is buggering it up. Anyone have a clue?

It's a script. And you don't need to know if I'm cloaked. LOL.

I think it is the improved hover text, if I recall correctly.

Shit. I've got that one. That means something else is messing with it. (or it's not that script)

@Snork: Dodge submitted a fix for that if you don't mind editing the script yourself;

"Dodge: I fixed the Improved Hover Text Addon. All that i changed was to add {} around each if statement in this block.
------------------------------------------------
if (ship.ownerid === vgap.player.id || ship.allyupdate) {
html += "";
if (settings.showShipMission){
html += "" + vgap.getShipMission(ship) + ( (ship.mission === 6 || ship.mission === 7) && ship.mission1target > 0 ? " " + ship.mission1target : "") + "";
}else{
html += "";}
if (ship.damage > 0){
html += " Dmg: " + ship.damage + "";}
if (ship.iscloaked){
html += " Cloaked";
else
html += "";}
html += " Warp " + ship.warp + "";
html += " FC: " + ship.friendlycode + "";
}
if (settings.showPlayerForAllies && vgap.fullallied(ship.ownerid)) {
html += "" + race.name + " (" + player.username + ")" + "";
}

--------------------------------------------------

NOTE: before i made these changes; i had changed all his == to === and added a few missing semi-colons. All of that because netbeans said they were missing. Anyhoo this block's structure looked off to me with out the {} so i added them and it was what actually fixed the problem of missions and cloaked status not showing up on the hover window data."

RE: I've been having a few problems with scripts lately, and...

Ok I have a band-aid fix for the Cloaked info;

Goto line 295, and after the ';' add the following;

if (ship.iscloaked) html += "CLOAKED";

Now goto line 280 and after the '}' add the same as above.

Thanks. I thought it didn't work at first, but it just displays it differently.

Die cloakers die!

RE: I've been having a few problems with scripts lately, and...

@Snork: You want it the old boring way with no coloured background?

Then do the following;

Goto line 295, and after the ';' add the following as one line (I have to put new line after a '<' otherwise forum removes text);

if (ship.iscloaked) html += "<
td colspan='4' style='color:##009999'
>Cloaked<
/td>";

Now goto line 280 and after the '}' add the same as above.

I use McNimble's redraw. I'm not sure what it looks like without it. No Matter. As long as I know.

So the Improved Hover Text script is also not showing out-of-fuel status for Crystals either, not broken, wasn't ever included. Must be older than that feature in the Client.

Also seems like it had mission display feature that isn't working either.

Why doesn't someone fix and update the script?

RE: I've been having a few problems with scripts lately, and...

Well the creator hasn't been around in years, and I imagine no other script creators care about it. To be honest, I don't really care about this script myself, I only provided a minor fix for fun.

Well can't one of you smarties cut and steal it and re-release with fix? You've already done the work.

As the Wasp, knowing if a ship isn't cloaked is vital. If this script is otherwise of little value, the cloaked flag should be put into another script, or into the client. My $0.02 worth.

RE: I've been having a few problems with scripts lately, and...

@Snork: The native Web Client already does display if a ship is cloaked... are you saying that playing as the Horwasp you cannot see that info without this script?

RE: I've been having a few problems with scripts lately, and...

Hi,

This may be outdated information but I do recall I used to see whether or not my share intel ally ship was cloaked. One hover text script came along and the cloaking information was still available. Another improved hover text came along and it was no longer available. I would have to go into a vanilla browser and the information on cloaking or not was visible to me so long as no scripts were running. This was important because as I recall, I could not transfer items to him if he was cloaked even though share intel allowed me to see his ship. I would either have to manually ask him if he was cloaked or I would go the vanilla browser and see if it said cloaked in blue somewhere.

I don't know if this still exists. This is all Pre-Horwasp and before some of these scripts got added directly into the interface.

Question 1: With share intel am I supposed to know whether the ally ship I can see is cloaked? (I believe so)

Question 2: Does the vanilla interface show me the ally ship is cloaked when in the hover text? It used to but that was before the hover scripts got incorporated into the UI.

Cheers,

MEGA

I just checked with no scripts and it is back. One of them is breaking it... Back to the drawing board.

RE: I've been having a few problems with scripts lately, and...

It seems to be Improved Hover Text that breaks it...

RE: I've been having a few problems with scripts lately, and...

Hi,

As I recall, cloaking still showed in blue with the first hover script and with no scripts at all. The improved hover script came along (which may have added features like bird superspy and darksense to the first hover script) but it broke the ability to see cloak highlighted in blue.

@BigBEEFER Is improved hover automatically in the UI now?

I am at a vanilla computer without scripts and can't see if a ship is cloaked or not. Perhaps it was purposely removed in the improved hover script because you are not supposed to know if a share intel ally is cloaked? I thought I could see this information in a vanilla browser in the past without any scripts and if improved hover is now part of the standard UI then I can't see this info anymore.

@Megalomaniac,
Cloak should be in the hover text regardless of your settings in the Nu client.

It is true that the Improved Hover Text script blocks the cloaking indicator. It's unfortunate, and why I don't use it.

@Megalomaniac: "Perhaps the ability to see cloaked share intel ally was purposely removed in the improved hover script"

It wasn't. A giant chunk of the Improved Hover script is non-functional now I believe due to changes in the native Web Client (which it modifies).

I have instructions in my third post in this thread on how to fix the script for displaying cloaked status on your own and allies ships.

_ _ _

The extra features that the Improved Hover script adds have not been incorporated into the native Web Client yet.

Already stated this above, but the Improved Hover script was made before out-of-fuel status was added, so it is missing that making it less desirable to Crystals and Privateers, however a McNimble script shows them on the Starmap so it isn't a big deal for me.

Hi

@glyn

Thanks for the update. I turned hover on/off and didn't notice a difference on several ships and planets although I couldn't find a cloaked ship to view. Even the planet info looked the same to me after turning on/off and exitting and reentering firefox. I do use McNimble now but that shouldn't affect the hover view. I will pay more attention particularly when I know a ship to be cloaked.

Thx
