Tavern Blocker (greasemonkey script)

Post by **lostcalpolydude** » Tue Apr 07, 2009 4:46 am

Based on some of the conversations around here, and my fear of screwing it up myself eventually, I decided to make a script to prevent accidentally going to the Tavern. The script simply changes the post-quest tavern link to send you to the main page instead of to the tavern. Specifically:

*This script will block you from accidentally adventuring in the post-quest Tavern.
*This script will block you from intentionally adventuring there, say for beer lenses.
---This means you have to disable the script to get beer lenses, and you have to re-enable it afterward.

*This script will NOT prevent you from going to the pre-quest Tavern. This means that softcore people can turn it on and forget about it.
*This script will NOT do anything about you going there during Teleportitis.
*This script will NOT prevent you from using the Last Adventure link to go there again after getting beer lenses, though I think it would be simple to add that if people really want that feature.

The script can be downloaded here.

This doesn't do anything for me. Help?

So you tried clicking on the post-quest tavern, and it actually adventured there? It should still be a link, it just goes somewhere completely different. The script is only a few lines, so I'm not even sure where something could go wrong, and I've tested it every way I can think of (with and without mafia).

Worked fine for me.

Just taking a quick look at the source, snarfblats aren't up in the 250s yet, right?

That's a good point... as long as they aren't in the woods it isn't an issue at least.

Also, you break mafia's image replacement during the tavern quest.

I can't reproduce that issue. The script doesn't run on that page (rats.php). Even when it does (after changing that to test), it has no effect. I was able to log out and log back in and still see those images.

Check that the images show up when you aren't using this script maybe?

Apparently this script didn't work in Seamonkey before. Now it does, thanks to Eleron.

I clicked two squares with the script active, neither was replaced. I turned it off, then all remaining squares were replaced. So I'm pretty sure it was a bug for me.

I also figured it shouldn't happen there, so I'm not sure what was going on. One of us could make a new character to figure it out (since it needs an open tavern).

I went in on BAFH, where the tavern is currently open.

I had this problem, too (in hardcore), and it went away as soon as I disabled the script.

[21:30] Hoopity: clicked on the artist
[21:31] Friederike: lost needs to make a script that doesn't let you click there! :p
[21:31] Hoopity: agreed

It took about 1 minute, so here's Artist Blocker.

Yay, down with art, long live technical science!

...I mean, thanks.

I'm pretty sure no one cares, but I updated it so that this won't be a problem. Yay for trivial reasons to learn new stuff?
