Can someone make two buttons in the Audio Portal, one which speeds up the track you're hearing by 2x and another which slows it down to half its speed, all in realtime? I don't know if it's possible/feasible but something like that will be infinitely helpful for audio moderators.

Hey so I'm assuming this is impossible to make?

Well, I certainly can't make something like that yet. But, if anything, I don't think that it's impossible. It's just the matter of that Xaotik and some of the other userscript makers are too busy with other script projects to make Newgrounds a little better place to be.

Well, the thing is, it's not impossible, but kind of impractical. The problem lies in the fact that the audio is managed by information fed from JavaScript to a Flash applet. The audio file is then played from the applet and it's code, which is compiled into the exported file.

Changing the behavior of the Flash file from JavaScript is not possible, the only thing I can do is replace the applet with another, which would not be able to replicate the Newgrounds Player perfectly.

Although it is possible, it's not totally practical to do.

Another update on the chat script guys. This is all features for mini-chat.

- Mini Chat no longer appears on every page on NG.
- - Mini Chat will now only appear on:
- - - Movie Portal Movies
- - - Game Portal Games
- - - Art Portal Submissions
- - - Audio Portal Submissions
- - - BBS Topics

I did this because I figured this is where users would spend most of their time, and there's really no need to have the extra loading time on pages such as the NG homepage, account settings page, store, etc. I've also removed it from user pages for the time being until I determine what I'm going to do to store things such as save data for scroll locking, unsent messages, etc.

The next change is in the layout of Mini Chat, I've added a "Users" button in the top right corner of the window. Clicking this button will pull open a list of everyone Online in chat, from there you can go to their user page or tag them in a message. I'll be adding in-chat tagging shortly as well.

The send button has been removed in favor of just using [Enter] to send messages. In it's place, there is now a scroll lock button.

Scroll bars will now only appear when you mouse over the chat panel, leaving you free to read it uncluttered.

Same as always, download the source code here and add it to your browser as a .user.js.

Any plans for a new Inline Submission viewer? :-)

Yes, but it will be a while, I need to figure out how I'm going to do it because I can't pull the variables out of the submission page with just an XMLHTTPRequest like it was possible in the past..

Hey NG, new script just made!

Name: NG Wallpaper
Description: Adds the ability to put custom wallpapers on NG. Simply go to the page (www.newgrounds.com/account/) and you will see the Wallpaper Settings Page.

NOTE: There are a few caveats with this script.:

- First off, this will not work on pages that are not part of www.newgrounds.com. Meaning that chat.newgrounds.com, and every uses's profile will not look any different. This is part of the spec for HTML5 Storage, which this script uses. I'm sorry if this is a deal breaker, but there's nothing I can actually do about it.

- Wallpapers are not going to match the colors of the website's background right away, so if it looks ugly, do some editing. However, I will be fixing this in the future.

- You need an HTML5 Enabled browser to use this, otherwise it'll just fail. Firefox and Chrome are both compatible in their latest versions.

- Have a great time with this. I'm considering starting a thread for the script if it gets enough support. If you'd like to make your own background, it would be cool if there were a few I could advertise with when I write the thread.

Thread is up guys, if you've got some artistic talent, go on and try making some wallpapers for NG.

Not at all, I don't mind requests, I just get to them in between work.

Added another feature to Mini Chat, requested by a user who was having issues due to their screen size. There is now a Hide/Show button on the Mini Chat, I will fix the little white pixels around the button in the next update.

Well, here's a nice little update for the Wallpaper Script as my 1000th post.

The script now has options for a "Wall" image and a "Backdrop" image, which can be used together to completely redesign the wall art.

There is now also an option to deactivate the script, in case you'd like to see regular NG Wall Art.

I moved things around on the script settings form on the Account page. It should now be a little more organized.

There is also a Delete All button, to completely wipe your preferences and start fresh.

[ Download & Install ] - This is a different download URL than before, so please don't copy/paste the old URL, it's broken.

Also, here is the thread for Wallpapers.

Here is a dump of the new look and feel of the Settings Pages.

I need a handful of beta testers for a script I'm working on. PM me for details, first come first serve.

Teaser:

New script! In celebration of Pico Day (I guess?)

I call it ShareBar for NG. Basically it improves the sharing features available to NG currently.

Here's a list of features, broken down by page:

- Movie/Game Portal Pages:
Activates the built-in StumbleUpon and Digg sharing.
Adds EMail sharing.
Adds an RSS button, which opens the Flash RSS feed for the user who uploaded the submission.

- Audio Portal Pages:
Activates built-in StumbleUpon and Digg sharing.
Adds EMail sharing.
Adds an RSS button, which opens the Audio RSS feed for the artist.

- Art Portal Pages:
Activates built-in StumbleUpon and Digg sharing.
Adds EMail sharing.
(Sorry artsy guys and gals, NG doesn't seem to have RSS for artists)

- Userpages/User News Pages:
Activates built-in StumbleUpon and Digg sharing.
Adds EMail sharing.

- BBS Topics:
Adds a floating "Sharing Bar" to the bottom of your screen.
The Sharing Bar will show the current URL of the topic and the Title of the topic.
In addition, the Sharing Bar supports sharing for:
->Facebook
->Twitter
->Reddit
->StumbleUpon
->Digg
->EMail

Well, that's pretty interesting. Not sure who'll use it often, but very neat. Now, if only PMs had image support, then it could really be used.

Creativity at its finest.

Update: Fixed the Pico Day glitch on the Wallpaper Script. Should display custom wallpapers again.

Download

Also updated the inline poster, a few quick UI tweaks.

*** If you're using Quote 'n' Reply, please uninstall because it glitches when used with inline poster. ***

- Added the same shadow effect that NG Pods have to the Inline Poster window so it fits in better.
- Removed the blank space left by the Inline Poster.
- Made it so the text field can be vertically resized only (if your browser supports it), this allows you to stretch the text box as you please without disturbing the UI.

The only reason I use a proprietary method of delivering scripts rather than Userscripts.org is the fact thatI'm not quite fond of the way UScripts has their site set up, and server errors are fairly frequent there. I agree my way is not perfect, but I plan on fixing that in the near future.

My website (real .com address, not my Google site) is still under construction, and it will feature a place for those, like myself, who have an interest in scripting, to develop and publish scripts and other add-ons for easy download.

[A copy of this post will be in the Wallpaper thread and GM Scripts Thread]

Hey guys, after some suggestions and comments from a user of my Wallpaper Script, I've decided to scrap the old script and start fresh with a cleaner, more streamlined interface.

Before I dive into remaking it, I'm going to wait a day and consider any and all suggestions to enhancements that can be made to the script.

Please post suggestions in either thread or PM them to me, I really want to go over the top with this rewrite because it's fairly uncommon for me to entirely rewrite a script from scratch.

Hey guys, sorry I haven't been posting for a bit, but I've been busy with work and sick lately.

I'm still working on a bunch of new scripts, but for the moment, I've whipped up a quick little tweak for Movies and Games.

Hey all, just a short post to let you know what's been going on with me.

I've gotten back to my second job which is summer-only, and this means I have less time to work on scripts. Though I intend to continue working on new scripts, I also plan on getting back into the swing of submitting Flash content to NG. Therefore, I'm going to go quiet for a bit and experiment with some new script ideas in my spare time.

I still really enjoy all the nice things you guys have to say, and the appreciation my work gets, so don't worry, I won't forget you all. Even though I won't be posting much, I'll be reading this thread every so often.

In my absence, I hope my scripts work as a tool to inspire a new generation of GM'ers to rise above and beyond the level of work I produce.

Regards,
Xaotik
