Here is a Firefox Extension for StickRanger to ease the saving and loading of different games and provide extra functionality: Features:- Easy save and loading, no need to copy and paste long text
- Automatic naming of the saves (configurable)
- the saves are stored on my server as a backup, so even if your computer looses the saves, I still have them (configurable)
- manual backup of the stored saves, if you don't trust my server
- back to the menu button
- quick links to the forum, wiki and the two things in my signature (will be configurable in the future)
- the wiki link automatically jumps to the page of the stage you are
- show your personal User signature (see configuration), thats what identifies you to the game (If you want to use my backup service, you need to provide either an old save or this signature, so I know who you are)
- function to delete your save cookie (if you have need for it)
- update notification
- If you want to transfer your saves, paste one in the field under "configure" and hit enter or click on save.
Dependencies: * Firefox * Greasemonkey extension >> install<< * The extension itself: >> install v0.6<< If youre updating from an earlier version, you only need install the last link again. If you think there is something missing, or something annoys you or something could be done better, just ask here.

Here is a new version of my extension. I added a few quick links to the forum and more stuff from me. Also I added a link to the wiki, that automatically links to the stage you are in the game right now. It is a bit limited though, because need to have once visited a next sign in that stage, or else I can't know where you are. All links are opened in a new window, if thats not ok for you, tell me and I will change it.
I also added an overwrite button, so you don't have to save and delete the old save anymore. Be careful though, because it overwrites the marked save without asking for approval.
If you have any problems with the update, it might be because I changed the domain for my server and those updates might take some time for the providers to realize. Just wait a few hours, and it should be fixed.
(By the way, I asked permission for this double post, so I can tell you what is new and in the future not post a new thread for every update but just edit the first post.)

I approved this thread, by the way. It can be used for all future updates on this addon.
Thanks for the forum link, by the way.

Well as I wrote, sure I can loose the data too, but then you have to loose your saves, my server has to crash and I make a backup of the saves 1-2 times a week, so my computer has to crash too or else I can at least restore them. And I give you the option to do manual backups yourself (look under configuration)... it won't get much saver then that.

It not like you could use the Get/Set for every good item or 10 levels that you get just to be safe. I enjoy it and have my clean set of whippers on it.

Wait, all whippers? Someone's up for a challenge.
Anyway, any ideas for future updates?

Anyway, any ideas for future updates? There are about 7 people using this extension and nobody has shown any interest in new features. I'm quite happy with it and don't have further ideas. When I'm bored, I could integrate the restore feature, so you not only can backup your saves, but also restore them. But I guess that feature will never be used anyways... (If someone needs it, I will do it no questions asked. But until then, I'm just too lazy.) I'm working on a different SR with Greasemonkey related project though.

The only thing I could think to change is to have it store the list of games locally, as multiple times I have saved to the list, only to return a day later and find it had reverted. Otherwise a pretty good app, sparing me the trouble of using a .txt file to copy+paste save files.

If you save exactly the same game twice, the second save will be deleted. But besides that, did you loose a save? Did your browser crash or did something else happen? I'm using Greasemonkey Cookies to store the data. I could use normal cookies as well, but IMO that wouldn't improve the security. But if you really lost some saves, I'll do it. And remember, if youre missing a save, I still have a backup on my server (unless you denied the storage in the settings). The last resort would be to also reload the saves from the server, as that would be resistant to all user side errors...

No, everything appeared fine, but my game of 3Whips+1Priest lost several hours of play going from Lv30 back to Lv8. Similar events involving other saves have occurred, but that is the most recent.

I gave a list of ideas on a help thread somewhere in a off topic kind of way. I must have missed it, do you care to find that post? No, everything appeared fine, but my game of 3Whips+1Priest lost several hours of play going from Lv30 back to Lv8. Similar events involving other saves have occurred, but that is the most recent. So the internal data didn't get saved right? Can you please post what Version (Firefox, Greasemonkey, my Script) you are using? And can you send me your userstring (You get it in the configurations menu of my script, perhaps under backup)? Did your browser shut down normally? Or did you use the firefox 3.6 anonymous browsing mode or some weired other extension?

To clarify, I didn't close Firefox between sessions, so shutdown is not an issue. I played, went to another site after closing that tab, and returned some time later to find the data had not saved.
Firefox 3.6 Greasemonkey 0.0.2010/02/11.5 Script 0.5

Greasemonkey 0.0.2010/02/11.5 You probably meant 0.8 right? Did it happen more than once? And youre sure you didn't use the private browsing feature right? Anyhow, I fiddled together a recovery script and send you (via PM) the highest level saves I got from you for every team you got. I'm still amazed how this should be happening... but then I never understood how anyone could loose his cookies, but without restarting the browser, this puzzles me even more. I will hack together an online recovery of the saves and add it as a link to the extension. (So I have a plan for a new version now). A question to all users: Do you have any interest in others not seeing your saves? You know you didn't have to register an account on my server but still things get saved there under your SR user-hash. If I make a recovery script, anybody who knows your hash could read your saves. Some might be "oh noes, privacy". So if you care, you would have to register with a password and stuff. Raise your voice or I won't code a password system.

You could put stuff that the Book don't give. What increase what for each class in terms of SP, What Dex you need for the gunner to have the lowest Agi (without wasting SP) for that weapon, (would be a huge help as the wiki only tell you the math that you can use which is pretty useless as you can only use it after you put the dex) What is the best stage to train on for your level (easy to do and already on the wiki, just need to add it on) basically a mini SR personalize calculator. All of the digits and info you need are already on the wiki, you just need to add it to the thingy. Also I have something else in mind, could you create a sig thing which show a team of your choice and give the stats and weapons, kinda like what runescape and maplestory fans have done? I not sure how much space you are willing to use on your server but if you have ton of space just sitting there then may as well use it.

Well a sig generator sounds like an interesting idea... but I'm not really sure how you should be able to choose what save is shown in the sig. I could make a button "show this save in the sig", I could always show the latest save (that would mean if you start over with a new team, that one is shown and not your latest and greatest)... I probably won't make it so you name one team and I keep track which one it is... any ideas? And about the information stuff. I'm not especially keen on implementing much gui related stuff. One reason is I'm not really good at designing guis and the second is I'm not that experienced in Javascript programming, that I enjoy implementing those. If you want you can help me with the first one. Make a screenshot, open up Paint and draw where I should show what. But I also don't want to swamp the whole screen with information. So perhaps a little more JS is needed to only show the information when youre interested (like the config). Perhaps I should start to include external libs to make those things easier... And about the server space: I'm using a free webhost. (I'm calling it "my server" because I don't know how else to call it.) Theres enough of storage, but it seems they don't like how I'm using the server because they write me emails about it. If they ever cancel my account, I got another webhost to move in and with the last update I moved the address to a third party URL, so there should be no problem with the move. If anyone knows a reliable webhost with ~100MB storage, 500MB traffic, php, >500kb file size limit, no ads and they don't care how you use the space, please tell me.

lol and have to be free? I don't think one exist. Back to the sig generator, I doubt many people would use it after a month have been passed but like most sigs it was kinda made to be that way. You could have a button and don't let the sig update seeing how I could train a lv30 group to lv40 but still use the lv30 save. SR not really a game where you have a "best" team. I sometimes make what I think would be the worst team just to have some fun. I would see if anyone would even want a SR sig before making the program though. Technically anyone can create a sig just by using MS paint and a screen shot. If you want the sig to automatically update then that would be more helpful but I pretty sure the hosting site will kick you out.

You'd be surprised how many good free webhosts there are. The one I'm using has 200MB Storage, 5Gb traffic, no ads. The only problem is, they don't realize I'm using it. And the sig generator should of course be some kind of auto updating. Its not that hard to do. Make a form to upload a base banner, then choose where to put what info (or I do that for you) and then merge the two. All that should be doable in a few lines of php code. And the traffic I'm producing is so laughable low, I'm sure even if every member of this forum used these signatures, they wouldn't hardly notice. *edit* Of course I'd cache the signature, so the server only has to work when a new save is uploaded...

OIC, I guess that would work then.
I don't hunt for hosting sites seeing how SMF and the webpage creator on it often give me all that I need at the current moment, so I can't help you with that.
I not good with UI designs but if no one else feel like helping you then I will try to make a quickie.
