You want ctxl's script for local storage.

PS: "trail on info everywhere" != "big data". Trail of info is more related to data mining by some websites and private browsing do not fully protect you from it (e.g. you still generate statistics from your current session and you still give data to google if you use chrome). Big data is the bloated term used to define NoSQL databases (like couchdb) or NoSQL cluster databases (like cassandra).

Thanks for the link (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Big data is collected the way i describe it too.. all those nasty pages and ads collecting what you watched, where you been, which in turn fuels what ads they show you and build profiles etc, maybe it's just semantics (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (i'm thinking big data in terms of security/privacy, not in terms of programming or anything like that)
It is true that you still generate statistics from current sessions too, but only if you don't actively block/blacklist them at root doman basis (like adding facebook* and google* to noscript/adblock etc)
* includes all subdomains

Okay, I have a suggested change - specifically in the monster display the time was displaying the timezone information, causing the table to be too wide and screwing other stuff up. Testing shows that switching to 'date.toLocaleTimeString()', same as the chrome version fixed the problem.

getDateTimeString: function (date) {
if (browser.isChrome) {
// See [code.google.com] http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=3607
return date.toLocaleDateString() + " " + date.toLocaleTimeString();
} else {
return date.toDateString() + " " + date.toLocaleTimeString();
}
},

date.toLocaleDateString()

Will work crapily in Japanese locales. Never use locales if you're not 100% sure that you cover all locales that people will access your page from (i.e. do not use locales on the internet).

Okay, so how would we fix it showing up crappy in MY timezone the default way? I was simply looking for a way to have it NOT show all the time zone stuff.

I'll fully admit; I'm more of a hacker than a proper programmer. Looking up the Java I got this [developer.mozilla.org] little discussion.

So the problem would be that somebody with Japanese language set while using HVStat would get part of the date in Japanese?

Otherwise my reading of the function says that it'll attempt to display the time in the set language and format.

how ... fix ... in MY (insert feature of interest)

That that "MY" there is what starts every issue with software incompatibility. The best example of such a story are the first releases of glibc together with the Linux kernel

I'm more of a hacker, not a programmer.

Hail fellow hacker in training, you still need some training on [www.catb.org] thick skin to become a full hacker. That's a good thing being a hacker, yet it also means that you will have no issue to add the code you need yourself whenever you need. What works for you, might not work for someone else.

Actually not, I'm concerned with the fact of the poor (and unstable) support that mozilla have for locales on dates (as in the browser compatibility table on the MDN articale you linked). There's a reason why there is a "if (browser.isChrome)" before any use of locales, Chrome have it right Firefox and it's cousins does't. (don't get me wrong I actually hate Chrome)

As your main concern is the lenght of the text, then have full controll of the space I'd suggest to use date.getHours, date.getMinutes and date.getSeconds

I listed 'my' because while I figure that there are others experiencing it, I can only confirm my own experiences. In this case it was that the date was causing the table to be too wide, overflowing it's box, which also had the side effect of causing the resistances sub-table(right justified for some reason) to go onto the monster list.

As such, I figured out a fix('created' being a bit much) and proposed it here. I like your response, it's helping me to learn. My questions are more along the lines of 'It's broken in case A', you reply that 'your fix breaks it in case B', so I'm attempting to figure out a way to satisfy ALL parties.

I also 'hate' chrome. I like the 'how to become a hacker', but I think the relevant bit is the 'fix it once' part. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Sure, I can keep putting my code mods back in, but I don't want to have to keep fixing it, so I proposed it here(besides figuring I wasn't the only one). You should see how I mangled the end of fight skill increases(basically if no skill gained, don't display the skill!) back when the narrower HV screen made the end of fight summary push things like item drops off the screen. I kept considering proposing it here.

As your main concern is the lenght of the text, then have full controll of the space I'd suggest to use date.getHours, date.getMinutes and date.getSeconds

Wouldn't that be even more broken when it comes to multiple language support?

But really, thank you for your advice. It's just that I'm not on the computer(currently working in a remote location) that has Japanese locale capabilities, so I can't test how messing with locale would screw stuff up.

To be fair to the truth it actually may work well for a good deal of locales. But there's the question mark when you ask whether it will work for all of them, and if it will keep working for long.

The idea of "multiple language support" only works well in a perfect world (ok, it actually does work well when when you're writting text in paragraphs, think LaTeX). When you start dealing with the width of a text locales hinder you because you cannot tell/adjust the length over all possible locales. It's like the difference between using width in "ems" rather than in pixels in CSS.

I remmember an interesting story in a company I worked for: one of our customers was a bank in Croatia and one of the products we sold them was a web UI in JSP (java stuff, ew...). During an upgrade which we tested in the English locale one of the components to upgrade were the java binaries (provided by Oracle). Getting their new UI the bank complained that we added dots at the end of the dates on the screen i.e. the dates where appearing like "30.12.2013." (note he dot at the end). And just as in the case we are looking right now that extra dot screwed the location of a couple of thing on the screen (dates are very common in banking applications). We didn't do such thing! The dates were processed by the locale functions of java and the bank was using the Croatian locale.

It turned out that the ISO locale for Croatia, that was finaly implemented by Oracle during that update to java, was to write dates as: two digit day, a dot, two digit month, a dot, four digit year, and a dot. Unfortunatelly no one informed the Croatians that they should start writting they dates differently from now on!

The solution we made for our customer? It was to substring all dates to 10 first characters, effectively chopping the last dot after it was generated by the locale.

Could somebody help me figure out how to set this up? I installed the stable Chrome version (5.4.0) from the first post, but I'm only getting info on the first enemy on the list in battle. I try scanning all the other enemies, but I never get stats on those. The other features like for the inventory and stuff aren't working either. I already turned on the custom font setting and set it to a font on my computer instead of the default one that normally is used, but it's not helping.

The version in the first post is outdated... the latest version is 5.6.5.1... you can find it in this post by greentea039...

Thank you very much, that seems to have fixed it. This game's a lot easier when I can see scan results without having to constantly waste turns to double-check.

Sorry about double-posting, but I wanted to know if we can request things about this. If not, I'm sorry.

Anyways, I've been using this for a while and noticed that the color-coded weakness/resistances list for each monster also includes +0 stats as weaknesses. Could it be possible to have a darker color of blue to indicate an actual weakness, and the light blue to indicate a +0 stat?

Well... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Probably beating a dead horse but just got this script and it is really useful.

Can someone explain to me how the scan saving works?

I just scan something, it stores it somewhere, then how do I view the saved scan? Do I hover over something or click somewhere? Or does it only show at the beginning of the fight if I run into the same monster again?

Also, is it better to wait until I'm a higher level to start spending the time scanning monsters since I might not run into them again as I outlevel them? If so, what level should I start doing so?

Anyone know why my database has no monster skills listed in it? I have scanned the mosnters and been hit with their attacks but it is just a blank 57byte file when I export it.

Is it normal for the HP of mobs in battle to increase rather than decrease? I had a monster which I could assume way near death, and it had Infinity/ 20535 HP. Which is actually somewhat humorous. Other than that, no other things bugging me.

I have a problem and would like to seek for solution: Everytime I try to add HVstats to my chrome, it said that the app can't be added.

Download .crx and drag into the extensions page.

ah thanks

I installed this today and keep getting the following whenever I ctivate it "Database open error: A mutation operation was attempted on a database that did not allow mutations." Any suggestions?

What browser and version are you using, and are you using private browsing mode?
