I installed the update this morning and it dissapeared as well. Came here and manually installed the update, by going to sidekicks and clicking versions and then choosing the latest to install. Now is working.

ok first test is good. HC sidekick is good to go. next...

January 26 by A Wikia contributor

ok second test is also good. MW2 sidekick is good to go, BUT you will need to set up your options again.

January 26 by A Wikia contributor

And I can finally log back into facebook, so the above comments are all by me

January 26 by Merricksdad

If this new thread is in relation to the previous thread asking for somebody to take over cityville, then you start whenever you feel like it and ask me questions if need be using the red phone down on the left.

January 25 by Merricksdad

Working for me and nobody else is complaining.

December 25, 2011 by A Wikia contributor

i have a problem too. WM don't load.

December 26, 2011 by A Wikia contributor

If you need help, use the Known Issues page for how to post a bug and give me something to work with. The only reasons I can think that would make your script not work is A) you are using a bookmark to the launch page and you didnt log into facebook first, or B) your greasemonkey is disabled or C) something is wrong with your version of either GM or FF. But since you didnt give any info, I can only guess at everything.

December 26, 2011 by Merricksdad

probably option B was good. reinstal WB and/or sidekicks dosn't work but reinstal all off them (greasemonkey, WB and sidekicks) was a good idea.

December 27, 2011 by A Wikia contributor

I'll check it out later tonight and add it to the downloads template so it registers on at least 3 pages here.

December 8, 2011 by Merricksdad

I'm going to be updating it here shortly to collect these blaze runner seeds from mobile phones, just testing to see if it works and likes this other page they use to collect them.

December 8, 2011 by Don Primero

oh wait is there a way for a sidekick to see another app id as part of this main app id? It just dawned on me the blaze runner is another app altogether. :/

December 8, 2011 by Don Primero

yup, a demonstration is used in the RwF/RsC sidekick. It uses the synAppID array and the addFilters object. Thumbsource can also take an array so you can potentially block images from multiple locations, either one game with multiple locations, or multiple games.

Ok, I checked out your sidekick. Very nice use of +version+ in the desc field I might add. Why did I not think of that. I was actually going to write up a version element, but I suppose there is no need now.

Only very minor things I would change: All your facebook* includes and all those hella long excludes can be reduced to one line now:

// @include http://www.facebook.com/pages/FB-Wall-Manager/*

The alias parameter is retired, but I might open it up later for something else. The hrefkey is forever retired.

And I see that you used the RwF sidekick as a base point instead of the mangled mess of a sidekick tutorial script. Good choice. That keeps me from having to give you a bunch of code.

I see your game is of medium size, but if ever you need something to automate an assload more stuff, check out how the FV sidekick is written. Its a mess, but it can handle a lot of added crap quickly. The new Cityville sidekick has an alternative automated handler for some stuff that will be moved over to other sidekicks shortly.

December 8, 2011 by Merricksdad

Thanks for all the positive feedback! I used RwF and fv sidekicks as reference tools, it actually started as a copy of the Heroes of Neverwinter sidekick it was the easiest to read but I started getting more from fv. never even dawned on me to look at RwF/RsC sidekick to run dual app id's :D lol

I stripped out all but the needed bits for blaze runner and made a 2nd sidekick for now but I'll add it into the PF sidekick! lmao http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/119994

December 9, 2011 by Don Primero

I've already claimed 90 blaze runner seeds, seems to be a popular add on to pot farm for the moment!

December 9, 2011 by Don Primero

Nice! did you get this right off the wiki here?

top.location.href = 'http://www.facebook.com/ThereIsNoWayThisExists/#status=' + s;

December 9, 2011 by Merricksdad

Also check out the CV sidekick where I put the scriptID up there with thisAppID and version for reuse throughout the script. Its just a little timesaver if ever you need/want to move the script or pass it to another person to tend.

December 9, 2011 by Merricksdad

yeah I got the top.location.href = 'http://www.facebook.com/ThereIsNoWayThisExists/#status=' + s; line from here :D no matter what I did I couldn't get it talk back to wm until I added that :D

I actually think it's a real fast response mechanism!

December 9, 2011 by Don Primero

Yes, not trying to use the current page does work faster sometimes and saves an error response or two. I was thinking of just having EVERY post do that, but then I'd be hammering on the facebook server for page not found messages.

December 9, 2011 by Merricksdad

I'm going to have to add a second alterLink if possible to, when player play's on the stand alone site it uses the full url with www.site.com, and on fb it uses app.fb.... but they both need to go to the site without the www...

The problem with the stand alone site other then heavy loading all there ui is it checks fb permission almost every time you enter, so if players have never use the site or have "post to fb as me" turned off it's going to timeout in the wm

December 9, 2011 by Don Primero

I dont think alterlink is set up for multiple changes yet, except in that you can insert bits into the change based on body text of a post. Show me the actual two examples and I'll see if how it is now can work, if not, I'll turn alterlink into an array or string object depending on input.

December 9, 2011 by Merricksdad

I never thought about all the not found pages being sent to facebook, i wonder if top.location.href = 'javascript:null#status=1'; would work

December 9, 2011 by Don Primero

the page must be of the same domain. I tried about:blank but you cant do that if the user didnt change their greasemonkey settings (used to be allowed), and you cant just fake a page name that is not on facebook.com. I ended up going with apps.facebook.com/?#status=number so I didn't disturb the www.facebook server. I figured apps didn't care as much.

But the thing is you should never use that if your top window.location.href contains apps.facebook.com already because it should be editable already as long as the window the script is running in is also an apps.facebook.com.....which in the case of pot farm is probably not the case. I'm working on a RegEx version of alterLink for you so I dont have to change the whole thing to an array. That should do the trick nicely. I'll put it out in a minute and we can poke it with a stick.

December 9, 2011 by Merricksdad

OH.. ok!! that is why i get the funniest message ever from this link but it's not working http://www.new.facebook.com/status.php?#status=1 IT'S ALIVE!!! >:D

December 9, 2011 by Don Primero

cool find. ask zucker about that one!

Ok I put out 209 so you can do a alterLink find = "some regex test here in string form", then you can do a alterLink isRegex = true to make it convert to RegEx with NO modifiers so it will be case sensitive and will only replace the first found instance. So you could do like this:

alterLink:{

 find:'(www\.potfarm\.com|www\.sausagefest\.org)',
 isRegex:true,
 replace:'apps.facebook.com/potfarm'

}

or whatever it needs to be

December 9, 2011 by Merricksdad

history

O.O wow, that looks awesome!!! I'm going to go update and try that out! :D

December 9, 2011 by Don Primero

let me know if it actually works. I didnt have much to test it on

December 9, 2011 by Merricksdad

I'm going to have to leave for the next 2 hours for a job(hunting) meeting at church but will try again when I get back... but with or without it's not trying to collect any post and it will not let me manually click them to open them now atm... they show just no responce

December 9, 2011 by Don Primero

history

yeah it's just not responding to regex no matter how I ask it, unless I just sent the string as normal alterLink: { //works find: "apps.facebook.com/mypotfarm", isRegex:false, replace: "thepotfarmgame.com/potfarm", //"apps.facebook.com/mypotfarm", }, alterLink:{ //doesn't work //find:'(www\.thepotfarmgame\.com|apps\.facebook\.com\/potfarm)', find:"([www|apps]\.thepotfarmgame|facebook\.com[\/potfarm]?)", isRegex:true, replace:'thepotfarmgame.com/potfarm', },

I was going to get a screenshot of the error console but you just can't stops scripts which are error/warning ridden... errr lmao any way it said that "Regex was undefined" line: 3655

December 9, 2011 by A Wikia contributor

Hey Don, thanks for making the PF Sidekick! It has been extremely helpful! FYI, they just added some new "bondage" critters - I've seen beaver, rabbit, and duck so far.

January 27 by Levine.matthew

dont like the way a sidekick works? dont use it. It was intended to auto click stuff, it just happens to be that lolapps is constantly changing their html layouts and reusing code here and there. Sometimes when they change something, it exactly matches the search strings for other functions of RwF sidekick and auto clicks them for you. Its all up to the user to figure this stuff out since I can't babysit it every hour of every day. If you are not in collection mode, don't use the sidekicks. If I could use red letters there, I would. Any time you run the scripts while playing the game, you need to know they are running and may cause interactions. Its always a good idea to disable greasemonkey, or at least the sidekicks for the game you are playing.

I also wouldn't get too hung up on talking about privacy issues where facebook is concerned. You are already crossing lines when you use scripts to do your work for you. But then to say that facebook could ever actually secure your privacy is kinda nuts.

December 7, 2011 by Merricksdad

history

I agree, I removed it after writing this an hour ago... The thing is it should not work outside of the scope of the overall product. if it is meant to work on you "page" or filtered feed that should be the extent it allowed to interact with not run ramped all over facebook, this would help people trust the FBWM Base, setting guide lines as to the scope of functionality the fbwm or any sidekick should be allow to do. then if a sidekick doesn't comply with "standards" then you would have just cause not to list it/support it as a trusted sidekick... just saying, even greasemonky as to follow guidelines set my Mozilla.

That is all I'm saying, it shouldn't do anything beyond apps.facebook.com other then tell the wall manager it was successful or failed.

lol you are right on privacy! that is why I'd never use any of this on chrome, last time I looked all these userscripts that where ported over to work with chrome where encoded/compiled or what ever, if I can't see what the code is, I'm not using it!

That was one of the things I'm going to miss about FVWM... TRUST! I trusted it to work only on the filter page and not interfere with the game! I never worried about it... While I know this IS a bot, and it is automating what I have been doing before and since FVWM, I still wouldn't ever use a bot on the game itself.

nuts? you mean insane right? lol as far as privacy, I'm mostly concerned with transparency, I don't' allow game to post as me or post my scores or activities or what I'm playing! for a few reasons, when the RwF sidekick was auto publishing in game requests, it went beyond it's scope of intended functionality, I didn't know if it was facebook, lolapps, adblock, FBWM or it's sidekicks! if we can trust fbwm and it's sidekicks not to go beyond what we expect it to, all eyes turn to fb and the app devs. as for the RwF sidekick I don't trust it and it is uninstalled, it wasn't really needed the amount of people posting ravenskye posts doesn't warrant it! same for mousehunt someone posts something once or twice a month and all it's going to do is slow things down looking for that once in awhile post lol

all in all, this new version is nice I ran fbwm 1.? for 10 minutes a few weeks ago and uninstalled it, and I've been waiting for fvwm to come back... do I need a bot to collect items? yeah I'm lazy lmao but I did finish my train station in 2 days without fvwm or fbwm!!! >>:D 661 active fv friends helps! with all those posts my biggest wish for fvwm and now fbwm is a limiter, lett it to collect 100 water cans and stop collecting those but continue collecting feed or building parts!

well I'm going to attempt to make a sidekick for pot farm, I'm diggin fbwm 2 for now! :D just have to be careful which sidekicks to trust!

December 7, 2011 by Don Primero

first: sip, sip, time to talk ;) u know what i mean lmao

second: fbwm is working excellent for me on chrome (fv) thank you charlie and ddm! excellent job!!!!!!!

third: my p.o.v. and not speaking for anyone. just my personal observations, with my option settings, my setup, and my style of play.  :)

@ Don Primero: i am in kinda the same spot as you. i may not play for long periods of time, i have shit tons of posts, and i do not want it to do anything i don't know about....

anyway, i use chrome. unsupported and i understand that. less private/secure, yeah probably, but i don't really care at this point. it works, it is what i am familiar with and i am gonna use it. internet security is like a door lock (just keeps people honest). i lock my doors every night before bed, but if someone really wants to get in, they will. (that's when the back up plan kicks in lol)

so, even joe's original did things i didn't want it to sometimes. when animal feed first started, i checked it of course... and woke up the next morning to see that i had posted a ton of feed while i was asleep. people commenting and messaging... obviously i can't have that. i haven't had any kind of that type issue in a long time. :) including fbwm and fv sidekick!!!

now, i do keep my options turned way down. don't want to crush the gb. there are limits. they may be in the thousands, but stuff does get deleted. so, some people may have issues i don't. that is when they need to speak up so it can be fixed. i am like Don Primero in many ways, and i agree on many lvls. however, depending on when you update and when you decide to play and if you use fbwm can make the difference between completing the train station in 2 days or 20 mins.  :)

i have always been a proponent of item/post limits. i think it is possible, especially now with the great work charlie has done. it is on my personal wish list. never said anything, because i wanted the dust to settle and i am just thankful to have a working script.

all in all... i am happy at this point. can we all think of improvements? yes. are those improvements possible or feasible? idk. that is when we trust in the scriptwrights to make the best decisions they can at the time. i am confident that is being done and that is all i can ask for.

thanks for reading my long winded post :)

December 7, 2011 by Makavelithedon

Good Morning! Makavelithedon yeah I have always been thankful for joe, ddm and charlie! these scripts have made fb gaming a lot more bearable.

December 7, 2011 by A Wikia contributor

-.- fb connect... lol

December 7, 2011 by Don Primero

@don, here let me explain the issue present in the RwF/RsC sidekick a bit better for you.

• You have at least 4 different reward pages with different urls, these seem to change every 30-60 days for no good reason. Lets call these type A
• You also have popup pagelets that come from 3 or more different urls not already included in the 4 above. Lets call these type B
• You also have popop popup pagelets that come from another source. And just sticking with the theme, lets call these type C

You can see all the actual urls by viewing the @include lines in the script. There are more than you'd think for these games and I even went so far as using RegEx to capture similar urls in one pass.

The problem occurs when the game decides to start using the same base address from a type B or C location in their game popups while playing. For RwF and RsC, these popup address while playing have always been the exact same as type B addresses and because they are exactly the same ingame as out of it, there is no way to get around it.

This problem occurs because these games use iframes, inside of iframes inside of iframes. Those iframes having these urls from type B and C most often, but some having even type A. You can't see these urls in use unless you use something like FireBug to actually see hidden iframes and their HTML/DOM structure.

If it only worked on apps.facebook.com then you would be left clicking accept buttons for every game a sidekick is built for. I really really dont think you want that, or you'd be using one of the online apps that just brings all your bonuses to one page for you to click manually. FVWM was able to click the contents off apps.facebook.com as well. If you take a look at the FVWM code you will see that.

As for trust, since I am the one making the RwF/RsC sidekick, you should know I don't put anything in these scripts that is intentionally harmful. Every release has more and more fixes and moves further and further away from potential security holes. As mentioned on the about page, I make these specifically for me and I offer them to the world to keep the playing field fair. I personally had over 1000 neighbors in RwF and built the sidekick to help them all out. Every 2 hours I had 1000 return gifts in my in-game giftbox and so I also created the message center assistant (which is currently down). Of course that was when limits were like 26 posts per hour for RwF. Personally I don't see so much value in a RwF sidekick anymore since the limits are more strict. And limits on RsC are terribly low and uncertain in quantity.

Now about item limits, yes its in the works as part of the priority console coming soon. Its been on the planning board for a long time, but now that I'm off that damn facebook news feed, I can actually get it done. Call it is christmas present.

December 7, 2011 by Merricksdad

You dont, TriMoon does OR you can check out my temp fixed version on my userscripts.org script list. All I did was update the docking and communication parts, TriMoon still needs to keep the script updated. Dont rely on my version, I wont be updating it. It was for the most part just to show what was wrong with the base code.

November 30, 2011 by Merricksdad

Yes...

November 23, 2011 by A Wikia contributor

I think for the most of us, FF8 is no different than FF7 in how the script works. You might want to try fixing your greasemonkey script by sidestepping to the "nightlies" which you can read about and download from the GreaseMonkey page here on the wiki.

Also check that the scripts got carried over to your updated FF, and make sure they are enabled. Sometimes when we upgrade FF, it doesnt carry over scripts, automatically sets them to disabled, or has other issues. Its not an issue with the WM script, just how greasemonkey and firefox play together.
