GM Scripts: Enhancing your Newgrounds!

Update

Made a thread for this purpose instead, I probably wont keep this news post up to date.

GreaseMonkey Scripts for Newgrounds

-What?
-I just today started to explore the possibilities of GreaseMonkey, an addon for FF (and now directly integrated into Chrome!). Basically it allows for custom JavaScript to run on any website after it has finished loading, opening for loads of modification possibilities.

I will keep this news post up to date with the scripts I make, as well as noteworthy scripts by others. Also, feel free to make wishes on scripts you would like to see made! Remember that it doesn't have to be for the BBS only, although most of the scripts currently are.

-How?
These scripts works in FF and Chrome (4 and above), it's possible that other browsers supports GM in some way as well but I'm leaving that for you to find out :P

For FF you will first need the plugin, then you can install the scripts I list below.

In Chrome 4 and above it's as easy as clicking install!

Thanks, brah. <3

By the way, keep in mind that Snake-Arsenic has made quite a few Newgrounds-related GM scripts, all up there on Userscripts somewhere, I believe.

WHOO!!! This is awesome!! Been wondering when something like this was going to come about. I think I saw somewhere a long time ago, Tom was contemplating having an online/offline kind of thing but he didn't want NG to be like myspace.

Caeldom 2010-03-06 12:07:34

These scripts are damn useful. Thanks man.

jake-thesnake 2010-03-07 11:22:34

These are really cool and helpful!

Fro 2010-03-08 19:27:34

Can you or squid make one that shows the art reviews on our userpage?

knugen 2010-03-08 19:27:34

Unfortunately not :(

Garage 2010-03-12 21:03:52

Suggestion! Make a script that differentiates loops from full tracks in the Audio Portal.

knugen 2010-03-12 21:03:52

Neat idea :) I have been looking into the possibility to include this in the flash portal search filter script, but it seems that they make no difference between loops and non-loops in the audio search results.

I hope to investigate further in a while.

Garage 2010-03-13 13:23:11

Well, I've never submitted audio before, but does the submitter check either track or loop?

If so, then I don't see how much harder it could be than differentiating genres.

If not, then how does the site know what's what between the two?

I'm sure you'll think of something :)

knugen 2010-03-13 13:23:11

Here's the thing.

In the flash portal search there is an icon next to each search result that tells you if it's a game or a movie. On the main page for the audio portal there are icons next to each listed song that marks it as song or loop. In the audio search however they all have the song symbol, even if they are loops.

As long as the info needed for a GM script is available somewhere on the internet it can be used, and this info is available on the page for each individual audio. However, fetching info for each song on each search will increase the workload for the server by 50x or something, and it will take ages for the GM script to finish executing. Not an option =/

ReNaeNae 2010-03-13 16:05:29

How's about one that shows which forum (even if it's just the number) a thread is in when you do a search? Or better yet... filters it to just show threads from a particular forum. Like say I wanted to search for 'tankmen' but only in the art forum. Know what I'm saying?!? :D

knugen 2010-03-13 16:05:29

Yeah I get it, awesome suggestion :D My gut feeling says that this isn't possible from the info given on the search results page, in contrast to the case with the audio search stuff right above your comment this could actually be possible with help from Citrics database over threads. Perhaps this is something we could work together on, I'll throw him a PM :D

BepsiWay 2010-03-13 16:51:43

Make more of these!

BepsiWay 2010-03-13 16:55:27

The online/offline status one doesn't seem to be working for me

knugen 2010-03-13 16:55:27

Yeah, that's citric's script and it doesn't work on Chrome atm. Should work on Firefox at least though.

Snake61AU 2010-03-13 17:48:46

Suggestion for Newgrounds BBS Thread Watch:

Can you make it so the watched threads always appear and when there are new posts it has beams behind them similar to the popular threads beams? I've noticed the threads don't stick unless they are on the current page and it could serve as a list of watched threads as well.

knugen 2010-03-13 17:48:46

I'm afraid there is no easy way to list threads that are currently on other pages of the forum :(

Cericon 2010-07-25 15:08:21

Tell me when you make one to overrule bans or bypass the four post quota limit.
