Just added a drop-down-list for own ships in the Simulator.

Nice script! Very useful. Might be asking a bit much, but can it offer opponents' ships also? Ships that I've seen or already fought earlier in the game?

BTW, Has NU ever discussed plans to improve the Battle Simulator? Doesn't seem too hard to have the SIM remember the damage, remaining fighters, etc, of the winning enemy ship so we don't have to manually enter the info for the second battle.

New version 0.2 lets you select your planets too.

The way it works now, enemy ships are not possible to add. Actually the "list of ships the player can see on the star map this turn" could be used, but their weapons could not be retrieved and are not known to the simulator. As I come to think of it, allied ships show their weapons, so I'll bring them in with a later version. Feel free to comment on that idea (and suggest how to display different ownership - colour?)

As said before, weapons, damage, fighters/torps etc. are not stored outside the vcr, but with some effort it could be possible to retrieve them from there, store them in a database (cookie?) and add them to the enemy ship display or at least the ship's notes...

I like it! One thing I noticed is that the mass that gets loaded for my ships seems to include cargo as well. I didn't check to see if this affected the results or was a display-only issue, but you may just want to use the hull mass here instead.

What a blunder... Thanks big beefer. I updated the code, but could not yet test it.

Version 0.4 shows correct mass and hides things that aren't there, torps on carriers, fighters on torpers, both on freighters and starbase stuff ...

Looks like this thread should be pushed to the top end now that it has been updated for the new client.

helmet, I realized that my enemyShipList plugin didn't have damage and crew yet which your vcr loader expected. I believe you fixed it with default value, I added them in version 1.03.

I do see problems when watching actual combat recently. The VCR doesn't load when your plugin is enabled and the console error message is "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'beams' of undefined". I saw it for various combats. Examples were game 815, player 5, turn 68 or 112.

Thanks kedalion, I uploaded a fix.

Btw. this addon also includes special starbases (radiation base and mining base).

Hehe, turned on my computer and Chrome/Tampermonkey showed me a little window asking if I wanted to update your script to the newest version. :)

All works fine now.

Hi guys, Not sure what happened but I can no longer use these (useful) scripts anymore. I use Chrome and Taper Monkey. They used to work fine, but now I need to disable them both (Enemy Ships & Load Own Ships to VCR) in order to watch my VCRs. If enabled and I click on VCR I get zero response.

Are you using the most recent versions of both scripts? There are some known incompatibilities.
Current versions are Simulator V1.0 and enemy ships V1.04

That was it. I had version 0.9 not 1.0. Thank you!
