FIMFiction Emote Extender Update - Version 3.0 · 7:11pm Apr 1st, 2014
No, this isn't an April Fools' joke. That'd just be mean. This is a real, usable update!
New in this version:
- Now actually works and looks good again!
- Other small changes and adjustments.
Make sure to uninstall old versions of the scripts! Otherwise, things won't work right.
You can find the group for these scripts over here.
The New Emotes:
None this time, sorry!
The Scripts:
First, you'll need Greasemonkey for Firefox or Tampermonkey for Chrome. Once those are installed, click on the scripts below to install them. If you're using Chrome, you'll most likely need to install the alternate versions of the scripts, then scroll down further and follow the extra instructions (sorry, Chrome keeps removing features, which breaks compatibility with nearly every update).
You'll have to remove previous versions (if you're coming from the beta, you can install right over the old scripts), as I've updated the versioning and namespaces. This should not be necessary to do after this unless I make more monumental changes, which will not happen in the foreseeable future.
- Standard Emote Tables: This script contains most of the emotes, including the Mane Six, Cutie Mark Crusaders, and a whole pile of random emotes.
- Cheerilee Module: This is the same script as the old Cheerilee module, just updated to work with the new API. It contains several Cheerilee emotes.
- Roseluck Module: This is a brand new table with nothing but Roseluck. Roseluck, Roseluck, Roseluck.
Note: In case the above scripts don't work for you in Chrome (after following the steps below), download these replacement scripts instead: Standard Tables | Cheerilee Module | Roseluck Module
Plans for the Future:
- Individual emote names (so the hover titles will have meaningful text), and following along with that, there's the potential to make adding emotes manually easier by allowing syntax such as ":twiright:" to add an emote instead of clicking the preview. (About 50% complete. More names are needed.)
- I'll be writing up a guide to creating your own modules, including how to set up the metadata and what exactly the API call does.
- I want to add an emote table area to blog post authoring so that you no longer have to copy and paste into it.
Chrome users! Pay close attention:
I hate Chrome. I'm gonna get that out of the way right now. Why? Because they keep breaking things that work in Firefox. For example, this script. Luckily, there's a solution for this built into Tampermonkey, so follow along and you should be using your emotes in no time.
Edit: Some updates have removed a few steps here and everything works as intended. Yay! The old steps have been removed so keep following this guide:
You'll need to enable experimental JavaScript within Chrome. To do that, type chrome://flags into your address bar:
Once you're there, find the Enable Experimental JavaScript Mac, Windows, Linux, Chrome OS, Android option and make sure that it's enabled:
Finally, Restart Chrome. The scripts will not function at all until you do.
And now you're ready to install the scripts (if you haven't already) and get yourself some emotes!
...How do you install this? This blog post is the first I've heard of it but it looks awesome.
Sadly, I'm not seeing this active, even on forums
and I uninstalled and reinstalled them!

I finally had to install the alternate scripts on Chrome to get it to work this time (the regular version always worked for me in the past), but YAY EMOTES!

I knew I was forgetting something. I've updated the blog post with the links to the required extensions and instructions.

You are awesome. Thank you!
Could you please answer some questions for me?
1)What's the "Insert direct image" command for? Whats the difference between it and the regular insert image button?
2) How do you use the "ordered list" command and for what?
3) How can I turn this
--Leonzilla
Into this?

I just think it looks better fc00.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2014/013/0/2/nerdgasm_by_comeha-d72140i.png
Bugger. The RoundStable emotes work, but not yours.
1980871
Are you using Chrome?
1980947
ya. Also recently, a few of my other userscripts cause the comments to go wonky and lock in "Newest First"
If all else fails, I wouldn't mind just manually linking the emotes.

Oh. What do ya know. Sollace's emotes work now. Not yours, for some reason, but its something.

Did you install the alternate versions of the script? From what I've heard, Chrome requires those to work now. If your script auto-updated to v3 and you weren't using them before, you'll need to uninstall the scripts and reinstall the alternate versions. Google keeps removing features from Chrome that the script relies on for user safety, unfortunately, so a separate script is necessary.

I'm not following?

I tried both. I don't see a new emote tab. Sucks, but oh well.
I never used your before, though, so i dunno if there's something im missing or not looking in the right direction. Right now, I have the standard emotes, Sollace's emotes, Clapping ponies, wet mane, Round Stable, and Komanji tabs

If you're looking for them outside a forum post, they won't show up. Since emotes get spoilered everywhere except forum posts, I've disabled them for the rest of the site. If I didn't, it'd get really spammy really quickly.

I... do not follow.

The emote script is disabled if you're not viewing a forum thread. Is it not working in forum threads for you?

Ah, got it. dl.dropbox.com/u/21167245/FiMFiction/Emoticons/misc_Colgate_beam.png
The unsafe option isn't there for me.
Stay awesome Kray-Kray.

So,... uh, I need some help with this.
I installed tampermonkey and then installed the base scripts, but don't see how to use them anywhere.
