Hideout Travel Times
Pretty simple. On the Hideout page, it grabs your towns co-ords and the co-ords of each city you have a spy in, calculates the travel time and displays it next to the target towns name. Very useful for planning which towns you want to hit.
Sorting the listing of towns based upon travel towns is next on the agenda. Stay tuned.
Would love some comments. Go easy on me though. I only taught myself HTML and Javascript this weekend.
You can find the script at http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/49624

I have absolutely no idea why that would be. Bit of a newb when it comes to javascript. Happy to fix it if someone tells me what's wrong. It's probably got something to do with the sorting. Don't know how countdowns work, but I imagine it needs to know where to change the display - the sorting probably screws that up.1. The countdown timer no longer moves when this is installed. You have to refresh the hideout view so see exactly how long until a spy arrives in the enemy city.
lol, I should have thought of that. I spent an inordinate amount of time trying to mine the co-ords (which is then used to calculate the travel time) from the string where it's displayed. Just realised it's going to farm any numbers in the name also. I'm guessing the towns you have problems with have numbers in the name? That shouldn't be too difficult a fix.2. Sometimes the calculations are way off. I have spies in two enemy towns on my island. Travel time should be 10m for both. One shows the 10m correctly, the other shows 4h 40m. This happens in more than one of my hideouts.
Probably. Haven't done anything with options and forms before but I can probably muddle my way through it.Feature request: could you make the sorting by distance optional? Some other scripts put their options on the options menu. Could something similar be done for this one?
Thanks for the feedback.

@Ryst: here are 2 functions that can be used to get a coordinate from a string.
both functions will return an object or false.
the returned object has to properties, x and y.
get coorinate from the breadcrumb text format: [x:y]
get coordinate from the spy location format: (x,y)
example:
the string you pass to each of the functions can contain other text other than the coordinate. (like html and town names etc)
if the string you pass to these function contains multiple coordinates it will return the first one it finds. (this should not be a problem though)
both functions will return an object or false.
the returned object has to properties, x and y.

Source code |
1 2 3 4 |
var breadcrumbCoordinate = function(text) {
var result = /\[([0-9]+):([0-9]+)\]/.exec(text);
return result.length === 3 ? { x: result[1], y: result[2] } : false;
};

var spyCoordinate = function(text) {
var result = /\(([0-9]+),([0-9]+)\)/.exec(text);
return result.length === 3 ? { x: result[1], y: result[2] } : false;
};

example:
|
|
Source code |
1 2 3 4 |
var inputString = "<li class=\"city\" title=\"Residence\"> -Town- (12,13) </li>"; // this is an example, not real coordinates
var coordinate = spyCoordinate(inputString);
alert("found coordinate "+coordinate.x + ":" + coordinate.y); // in the example it, the message will read "found coordinate 12:13"

Just had a thought about a quick fix for the problem. I've udated userscripts wit hthe new one. Haven't done a lot of testing though so let me know if any problems crop up.@Rryst: Have you had any chance to look at this and see what you can do with it? I checked the userscripts page hoping you had updated there an not posted here, but that was not the case.
I think this script shows real promise. It would be a shame if it does not get improved.

just updated from the fist link, i still have the timer problem, and the blue travel time is incorrect. it says 20mins to next island, and my game shows a frozen timer on bellow 10min....

The countdown doesn't work. It's just something you'll have to live with if you want to use it for the time being. What it get's 'stuck' on is the time from when you loaded the page - it's correct, it just doesn't countdown in realtime.Just had a thought about a quick fix for the problem.

20min trvel time to the next island is correct - the travel time listed is the travel time of troops/cargo ships not the travel time of the spy.

- I can live with the countdown not working.
- There is still a problem in the time/distance calculation. When calculating the time from 25:82 to 25:100 it says it will take 24 hours. Actual travel time is 6 hours.
- The problem with numbers in the names appears to be fixed.
(Note to Mods: I'm aware of the no island coordinates rule, but how can we fix this if we can't give examples?)
