What... ...things does the Sweetie Scepter do?

3327702
Wonderful things.

Riiight.
I'm going to have to look at the code to find out, aren't I?

3328036
It's just something fun to play with on the forum. I think some people have already figured out two of the things it does.

Edit: Oh and, 4000+ lines. Good luck.

Challenge accepted.

Okay... well, first of all, it's very easy to find the setupSweetie() function (ctrl+f, FTW!)... though as for what it does... *sigh* I do php, mostly. My java experience is very limited, but I'll try.
It seems to put an image (the data for which is dumped into the code itself!), which I presume is the Sweetie Scepter, onto the page, where it can be moved around by the user, and dropped into different places... maybe as a sort of bookmark?
It also seems like you can make it rotate, wobble, or shake... probably by clicking it while holding certain keys down.

So, did I guess well?

3330255
It was a good guess. You got some parts right. It is an image placed on the page, and you can move it around. Holding certain keys will have an effect, but not by clicking.

It can rotate, but the shake is used for something else.

If you'd like I can give you a hint.

You make my self-esteem go down by showing me that I'm not worthy as userscripts programmer, but at least it gives me a goal to strive to. :V

3311234
Do you think you could possibly add stuff like [ right_insert ] and [ left_insert ]?

If you do.

3330420
He, thank you. I'm sure you'll be able to make some nice stuff as well as long as you're willing to try.

3436406
I'm not sure what you mean. What does the left and right insert do?

-Sollace

3438180
Doing nice stuff is one thing. But then someone else steamrolls your nice house and puts an even nicer one in its place. Ehh, if that makes any sense.

3438180
It does this sort of thing.

3438314
Sure, I could add that. I'll just have to fix the issues with site formatting first.

I'll have a look at it when I'm home.

3438465
Ah ok. So uh, that FimFiction Modder title. Is that official?

3438482
Heh no.

It's added by some of my scripts. I think there are other people that will have it, like Selbi and someone else.

3438541
Ah ok.

3438642
There you go. FimFiction Advanced has been updated with those tags.

You can see the blog post over here

I don't know how much of a problem this is, but I noticed this, so I thought I would bring it up:

On any story page (and as far as I can tell, only on story pages), I get this error recurring once a second:

The relevant bit of code is in the Fimfiction Advanced script:

3527677
Thanks. That will be fixed in the next update.

A script that allows me to give fimfiction a dark background without using Stylish? Thank you good denizen.
Only complaint is this:

~Have a good one.

3539517 Out of curiosity, why do you want to avoid using Stylish? The problem you have there is easily fixed with the following CSS, just make the color whatever you want it to be. I'll even throw in a link to a color picker so you can get the hex code. If you'd rather not have to maintain it yourself in case the site code changes, here's a link to the userstyle I made for it: Link. Of course, if you really don't want to use Stylish, a userscript can be made to accomplish the same task, but it would be horribly inefficient to do it that way. There's even a thread that specifically asks that appearance only changes be done using userstyles instead, but I can understand if you're really just not willing to use Stylish.

ul.breadcrumbs li{
display:inline-block;
color:#56C41F;
font-weight:bold;
font-size:18px;
text-shadow:1px 1px rgb(0,0,0)
}

ul.breadcrumbs li:after{
font-family:"FontAwesome";
content:"\f138";
margin:0px 7px;
color:#344BCF;
}

Color Picker

Plus, if you don't have Stylish installed, Userstyles.org does offer a link which servers up the CSS wrapped in a Userscript which'll apply it.

3311234
Where's the Advanced Tab?

3539517
That should be fixed in a recent update to FimFic Advanced. It will detect when the background is dark and adjust the text colour accordingly.

3693710
Just got to Settings. It should be listed at the bottom on the left panel.

The chapter width setting is not working for wider settings than 46em at present (percentages give unexpected results as will be seen in a moment).

Both the inner_margin and the chapter_container divs are set to 46em natively, but only chapter_container is modified by fimfic advanced, leaving inner_margin to limit the width to 46em and to cause percentage values to be a percentage of 46em.

3809896
Ok, I'll have a look at that.

Fimfic Advanced (or the underlying event library) seems to be preventing me from opening the PM window. I get this error:
http://i.imgur.com/h7aHAm5.png (Apologies for the potentially broken imgur link.)

To head you off at the pass, I have reinstalled the script to make sure that it's using the updated version of Fimfic Events since the site update, and reinstalled again tonight just in case, but the issue remains.

5080555
I've pushed some updates to my internal scripts that should fix that along with many other bugs. Try downloading it again.

FimFicEvents.version()

Should give you 1.53 after the update.

5080933

Works like a charm!

Welp. This is certainly broken with the update. It’s kinda sad, too. I’ve been using it for about half the time I’ve been on here.

5978587
Aaaand now it’s fixed.

Fimfiction Advanced 4 seems to break the about page’s stats graphs.

5979016
Picture?

5979029

There seems to be something wonky with image inserting as well. I had to disable fimfic advanced to embed the image.

5979036
Everything’s working on my end, so you’ll have to reinstall the script.

You can see the current version running at the bottom of the page to see if it’s correct. (should be 4.0.1 now)

5979106
Yeah, I’ll have to update.

5979106
Fixed now.

3311234
I'm guessing the latest update (or at least a recent one) fixed the duplicate round avatar on user pages issue, but it also started putting a big blank space between the avatar and all the buttons:

Also: the settings page is shouting at me:

This is after a delete and fresh reinstall of the script just in case.

6025370
Yeah, I updated it for stuff knighty changed. There are other bugs though since I have jquery partially removed.

Are you using any other scripts?

6025373

Just this one: https://www.fimfiction.net/group/198799/fimfiction-userscripts/thread/322189/group-button-shows-recent-threads

Tried disabling it, and the issue remains.

6025380
Yeah, seems to be an issue with custom banners. I had to fix several bugs in that area just to get the option to set one to test.

6025381
Gotcha. I can live without the banners for a while.

6025383
Okay, try updating now. The custom banners should be fixed.

6025396
Updated to 4.1.3, settings page is happy, but the user pages still have the same issue. In fact, I'm pretty sure the gap is a little bit bigger now in narrower windows. The only significant visual difference I can see is that when the page is narrow enough to cause the buttons in the header to wrap to two lines, they are now left-aligned instead of right-aligned.

6025450
That's weird. I haven't done anything that would cause that, and it doesn't appear on my end even if I change the size of my screen.

6025450
Fixed your avatar spacing issue.

6025496
Success! My OCD thanks you a bunch.

3311234
Um, sir? Where's the customization settings? Half of the custom settings were blocked by... some sort of right page arrow for banners, I don't know.

6665252
Did you try going here? There is a link on the main toolbar under settings, and an "Advanced" option under account on the main settings pages.

6665827
Yes. I already did, but I don't see it.
