Eye candy for cRPG character creation page (last update Mar 17th 2011)

[Harald]

This userscript restructures the cRPG character creation page and presents it in a user-friendlier way. If you find any problems please report them so i can look into it. Feature requests and ideas are welcome too.

IMPORTANT: the script modifies the html code of the crpg website, but should not cause any problems. But to be on the safe side you can disable the script when you do crucial changes on your high-level chars. For low-level chars i would appreciate it if you leave the script enabled and report any problems.

See first post for install instructions.

Latest update (Mar 17th, v7.6):
+ Fixed: crash caused by new credits link (by Chort).
+ Fixed: requirement filter ("hide items i can not use") working again (by Chort).
+ New: when buying, selling or repairing an item open the same page again (by Chort).

Known issues:

(click to show/hide)

- When logged in with a post-patch retired char the char switcher does not contain all names.
- Page flickering: original page is often seen for a split second.
- Skill points are always displayed as 0. This is only a display issue, you can still assign them it you got one.
- Current battles ("now!") are always hidden because of a bug in the day/time comparison.

Wish list:

(click to show/hide)

- More filter options for the shop.
- When buying, selling or repairing an item open the same page again.
- Show available gold in the shop.
- Put the strategus link in the navigation bar at the top.

Would it be possible to add a battle timer on the left side?

Some kind of little menu for the battles you were hired with the usual link or just a countdown timer?
