Might need to uninstall the staging version, restart browser, then reinstall it, and restart again for it to actually update all the files. :/ If you do though, it might just confirm that it's ready to go.

Just did this - all the previously-missing mechs are there! Looks good, man - thanks for all the help!

Why this isn't PART of the website is beyond me. Nice work OP.

BTW, I used this to figure out what mech I should run...surprised to see the "best" three are not my go to favorites.
Only 3 combined the win to loss ratio with a high kill to death ratio.

When I installed this it came with a nice chunk of spyware/malware. Funny thing, when I uninstalled it, my spyware/malware warnings stopped.

Unfortunately, the crossrider platform is easy to use and has been used to make malware. Actual malware is not built into it, nor is it included in my extension, it just makes it incredibly easy to insert ads. I disabled all ad features and any type of built in monetization, so any spy/adware activity would have to be double duplicitous.

Did you notice new ads or popups? Any reason to think it actually tried to do something spywarelike?

"Potentially Unwanted Program", as per it's name, isn't necessarily malware. It's potentially unwanted because it has been reported. Crossrider has been installed with other apps, like chrome and toolbars, but also has been used as an ad serving platform in other extensions. (some worse than others)

EDIT: There has been one report of possible bugging of an internet connection, however I haven't seen logs or any troubleshooting steps that indicates it was actually causing the issue intentionally.

EDIT: I've researched alternatives, but this was the easiest way for me to convert a userscript into an extension and distribute it. If I have time/desire to remake this at some point, I will probably use Kango and do more manually.

EDIT: That's not to say I'm totally convinced of crossrider's cleanliness. If there are indeed spyware symptoms caused by this, I will fix it or remove the extension. I haven't been able to replicate any of these issues myself. I just need actual evidence before I throw away the manhours I've spent and kill the extension.

This is awesome, thank you. If you are still updating it, it would be awesome to have an ability to filter it - for example remove all mechs with < 25 matches played.

Additionally, there appears to be a bug when values go over 1,000,000 - see avg XP per match in the screenshot below:

Thanks for the bug report. Cheers! I will fix that later tonight if I can.

I meant to have remade the hiding system with custom filters before resistance came out. Kinda got burnt out lately though.

I added a possible fix for that, but I can't be sure since I haven't gone over a million on any mech yet. If you're on firefox or opera, you can try installing this: http://crossrider.com/install/67402 to see if it works. If it does, i can push out the update to everyone, but I won't be able to do much more actual coding until late tonight or tomorrow.

EDIT: I pushed it out. Hope it's working

Beta version is currently testing new features. Install it if you want to give me some opinions and bug reports regarding the sticky table header or the filter functions.

The primary stuff you should know is that the filters are case insensitive, let you combine multiple filters for complex searches, and use < and > for less than and greater than respectively. I'm going to include this somewhere before releasing.

Working all right with lots of mechs?
Styling ok?
Any issues with the filters not working as expected?
Which browser are you using when the issue comes up?

So far as i can tell its not working. Chrome says the version is 1.26.67, and it currently shows my XP per match in the Banshee as 1.

How do you use the filter function? im unsure (im not actually sure if ive installed this version either, because if i click on the link it tells me extensions can only be installed from the chrome web store)

Sorry about that, I should have predicted the issue and included a link. IE and firefox versions should work normally, but chrome requires using a dev channel release if not installing from webstore. If you want to go that route, here's a link. I am pretty confident that the fix in the current staging version will work this time around, so waiting until the next version release (tonight) will probably be fine too.




EDIT: Sent out the update for all users. Next feature will be exporting as .csv and json.

w00t. Thank you for informing me about it.

Hey! thanks for picking up/creating this - I used to use the older TamperMonkey script that did this and was really sad when it fell by the wayside

I have a feature request - on the Map Stats page, could you add up all the times in the Time column and give us a total? I'm sorta scared/curious to know how much time I've spent in match.

Sure thing, I'll see if I can't get that going tonight. (EDIT: maybe tonight instead)

freaking amazing! great work!

Tool is very helpful, thank you.

One thing happening to me: since you got rid of the duplicate listings of stats for one chassis, it might interest you that the extension differentiates still between regular and Invasion Clan Mechs of the same variant despite being the same sats (but you managed to get rid of the Gold variant listing).

What I would like is the addition of the ability to list either IS or Clan Mechs. Dunno if this is possible but I'd like that to further increase comprehensibility.


Just using it since today so when I encounter further "problems" or ideas I will keep you up to date.

Thank you for your suggestions. I'll see about adding some new data like that next time I get into updating.
You are still seeing duplicates of the Invasion mechs?

[MadLibrarian]

Ozealot, on 01 March 2015 - 08:14 AM, said:

Yup. Downloaded yesterday and didn't update since then. Lists the normal chassis and below that the same again but with the (I) for Invasion at the end. I actually own them if you need to know that (both in most cases).

I see. You own both an (I) version and a non cbill Prime version? If true, that would explain the duplication, it actually shows up both ways on the profile page so it includes both.

[MadLibrarian]

Ozealot, on 01 March 2015 - 11:23 AM, said:

True.

I just thought that's not as intended because previously (before using your plugin) the (G) versions where also shown.

Ahh good, thanks for informing me. I might add a button to hide each individually at some point.

[MadLibrarian]

Added totals for cbills and time played. Temporarily only listed on map and game mode pages just above the table, and not formatted particularly well, but will make their way to base stats page sooner or later. Started work on weights and IS/Clan toggling. Output functions and time periods coming before too long.

Added a donation button in the options box, for a little while at least, so I can hopefully upgrade to a shadow cat or ebon. Any donations will be greatly appreciated, thanks.
