EM Role Descriptors

almost 7 years

https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/37782-em-role-descriptors

Hello again, this time I've got an in-game script that adds a link to the learning page to words that mention them. Don't remember the exact values for clockmaker? Just click on anywhere someone said "cm" (the plugin makes it a hyperlink so you can't miss it) and it'll bring up the page for you. I hope this will be useful for people that are still learning what all the roles do.

The plugin works by scanning each new message, linking both official role names (grabbed from an API) and slang names that are hardcoded into the plugin. Mentioning any slang names that I forgot to add in would be appreciated. Also point out any bugs to me, I'm sure they're there.

The script requires Tampermonkey for Chrome or Greasemonkey for Mozilla. It can run in tandem with EMJack or the EM Enhancement Suite.

Tampermonkey:

Will this help the new player experience™?

@whoever is working on it

I'm not using it because I don't need it, but thanks for all you're doing. This really can be helpful for new players. Hopefully it can be stickied in the forums and used by everyone (who needs it). Thanks!

v1.3: Merged my code with Shwartz's code. Adds the ability to see role descriptions when you hover over the hyperlink, plus a few new aliases.

Thanks, Shwartz! That was a really good addition.
