Customizing the "fleets_top.js" javascript

[DavAlan]

Load it up with a text editor to get....

var coordslayer;
var selgo=0;

function setcoords(e){
o=e.options[e.selectedIndex];
if (fc>0 && document.all) {
getfieldnames();
ez.value=Math.round(o.value.substring();
ey.value=Math.round(o.value.substring(4,7));
ex.value=Math.round(o.value.substring(0,3));
}
return false;
}
for (nr=1; nr<=5; nr++) {
eval('if (window.tlayer_'+nr+') coordslayer=window.tlayer_'+nr+';');
if (coordslayer) {
coordslayer.style.height="30px";
selgo=1;
}
coordslayer=false;
}
if (selgo==1){
document.write('<form name="selform"><div style="position:absolute; top:73px;left:'+(document.body.offsetWidth-280)+'px">');
document.write('<select name="playersel" onblur="setcoords(this)" onchange="this.blur()" style="width:250px;background-color:#31475b">');
// change these lines -------
document.write('<option value="500/500/50">500/500/50 - black hole</option>');
document.write('<option value="400/400/40">400/400/40 -
nobody</option>');
// ----- end of coords -------
document.write('</select></div></form>');
}
var scriptloaded=1;

Change the code in the line "document.write('<option value="400/400/40">400/400/40 -
nobody</option>');" to show your name and coords for a start.

Then reload the nav panel by loading another panel there the switching back to the navigation panel.
You should now be able to select your coords from the drop down list box.
So put the cursor into a fleet coordianate x box then select from the list box and the coord will go directly into the input boxes for that fleet.
You can now, after testing for errors, proceed to enter all your common coodinates into the code using the above syntax.

This makes setting desinations alot faster and reduces typing on the keyboard as well as any typo error one may often make.

probes.js java script

// this script reads the dsp-data from the probes.php page and calculates possible target coords from them
// its not ready yet

...there is where I put the commands to load my dsp vector calc

...when done I merely click on the "calc" next to the dsp reading and the date gets sent to my VC and the VC will output the results to a js script of my own.

This is not going to take as long as I thought or be as difficult

What may be difficult is making this availible to all st players via research (suggestion: make it an advanced tactics and/or leadership item with 1-2 days research time). Admin?....

LOL...8am pst...off to work we go....brb later

Watch out with that Osiris. I allways double check that one, cause it has fooled me to many times.

@dev: did you finish that probes-javascript?

@osiris: you got it wrong: the fleets_top.js adds a dropdownbox with all known coords, that you have and you can simply select the user then to add his coords.
you never have to copy and paste coords anymore

[Osiris]

oooh!!! like that, well than i'm wrong

sorry

we will add the fleets_top.js script as a standard.
you will have all the coords you have in your comlist in your fleets screen to choose from.

it writes the coords in the three fields and you can change them afterwards.

also i think it would be nice to have a + and - button to change the coords for one sector up and down

maybe the dropdown like it is is not so handy:
it would be nice to have a kind of aouto-completion... you write the beginning of a username or the beginning of some coords and it outocompletes it

someone would like to program that javascript for us?

it would help a lot and we would implement it as default for everyone
