Hello to everyone that bothers!

Some may have noticed that I became kind of inactive for the last few... weeks... months... maybe a year or so^^
I wrote my bachelor-thesis and focused on that mainly, also got a great part-time job...
And I became kind of sick/tired so after sleeping for few weeks I'm a bit more... normal now again^^
And everything will become even more great exhausting because of various reasons, one is me studying for my MSc. physic.

Also a great news

for all that requested something from me or asked me to do something:
I destroyed all my notes by washing my notebook. The analogue one of course... not the electric.
Maybe I will do something to manage dA-notes better... because I have some memory-problems about what I already have done^^
So, if you still are waiting and haven't given up all hope, just comment or send me a Note again!

So enough ranting,

I had a great Christmas and nice holiday.
Also something I really enjoyed during all the time was tgchan.org which is a nice platform for text-rpgs, commonly with illustrations for each post.
A bizarre phenomenon there is "lagotrope" who seem to constantly be updating 4 Quests simultaneously almost every day...
And I haven't heard of anyone giving him money or something...
One has also to say that his quests are really great and thoughtfull and his art is also nice!
see a wiki-list of his quests here: [link]

My flash-series to "divequest"

was also inspired by this site, more precisely the author "weaver", and could be counted as fan art for his quest "divequest"

Here are the current chapters:

It took and takes me some time to figure out adobe-flash better, but it becomes more and more intuitive.
The text and art isn't mine of course but I think it is way more comfortable to read the old chapters this way and coding/designing is art, too, right?^^

I also uploaded

some new pictures I used for a calender... all of course self made near my home.

Well... maybe I should feature someone, too...

like e.g.

with her great webcomic "slightly damned" or

with her comic "Chakra B.O.T." where I was allowed to voice a character in the audio-version...

So have some nice days/weeks/rest of your life!

Hi together!

I just wrote this new Journal-skin for a contest, so I thought I could use it as well...
It's free to use, so if you would like, go to:

Userscripts

As you may know, I have some current projects here on dA. The most popular would be my userscripts.

For those of you who don't know what a userscript is:
It's an open-source javascript-program you can easily install within your browser to change any page's appearance or functions.
e.g. could you search within your notes or get information about a deviation when hovering over the title.
As it is open-source, most userscripts are free to use!

Some new userscripts I worked on were

I also take requests for userscripts!
I don't take money/points for that, but it may take some time and not everything can be worked out.
If you feel thankful, you can of course give me some points if you feel like it.

current ideas/requests:

A script that gives you llama-statistics, like who you gave or who gave you, not returned etc.

script for searching in favourites

script for collecting general interaction with other users, like commenting, faving, noting etc. I also planned to let it connect to getwatchers.com for rating-statistics.

script for filtering/deleting all accepted/denied correspondence-notifications

Divequest

Well another project would be the flashes I make for divequest. I like the story very much and it is still going on, so these flashes make a good entry to the game in my opinion. it's also a nice story, so it is some kind of interactive novel, too. I got adobe flash some time ago, so when I have time to work on it again, it should come out better (for my taste) and faster...

Here are the current chapters:

Other things...

Well, I have still some interest in other things, too^^
I want to make more journal-skins in future, work a bit more with pixel-art, submit some technical illustrations I have done for my exams, give more critiques and try to work a bit more on photo-improvement for my photos.

By the way: why don't you take some time to take a look at

?

I joined there recently as a critique-giver for their critique-section and I think it's a nice group...
It's just sad that there are so many entries every day (around 70 I think)... maybe they should do something like a partial watching-function, just for some folders... or maybe I should write a script for that

discussion about next userscript dev_user_stat

Fri Feb 17, 2012, 2:06 PM

Hi!

Prologue:

I'm having almost free time now for some weeks after those exams that I nearly spend the whole last 3 weeks learning for (excluding 5h/day sleep and some time of mental absence)...
I have seen some nice feedback on a script-idea in my last Journal, so I would like to discuss it a little.

Maint-part - Explanation:

I would like to write a userscript that gives you information about a deviant you meet including activity transactions like commenting/faving/gifting.
This would be kind of useful to know more about deviants that like your art but doesn't watch you or if you forget the contact for some reason.
Another idea would be a list of your watchers/watched with their activity. My script dev_user_inf shows you the activity on page but it's complicated to get all at once, so this may be a feature for a new script (-> this one).
Of course this would lead to an overview about all of your activities, but not like the current one, but more grouped by users than chronological.
And of course an overview about other's activities on you: "dev1 has faved 20 ones (link), dev2 as faved 3 and commented on 1 (link)" etc.
There will be some troubles/inconveniences as the script would need to crawl through a lot of sites, even if it only need this once for the comment-part and once in a while for current activity-behavior.
Then a second con would be getting stalked, as the script would log your activities and incoming ones in the message-center to prevent recrawling etc... That isn't something everyone likes, it won't send it anywhere though. As it will be OpenSource, you can easily prove that for yourself or disable parts you don't like anyway.

Main-part - summarizing:

Current script-idea would be:

list of activities a user made on yourself by hovering his icon
overview about all activities other deviants made on your account like commenting/faving/gifting
list of your activities on everyone else, not like existing, but grouped by user&extendable
list of activity-behavior (online, invisible, offline for some time) of watched/watching contacts

Your part - reactions:

I would like you to post your opinion about the general idea and those listed functions. If you have any ideas that should be added as you feel like it would fit, please feel free to post them as well!
For discussing regarding other projects (like you would like to see a new divequest-chapter first or some other script), please see this Journal: [link]

Epilog:

I don't know how long it would take or when I start as I'm currently working on a note-search and dq-chapter4 plus some things summarized before with "almost free time"...
Oh, and if you like you can of course comment without any discussion! I'm always glad to get some feedback!

Planning future projects

Mon Jan 30, 2012, 8:48 AM

Hi!

I just thought of some future projects and would like to know what you are thinking of it or what would like more...

divequest chapter 4 flash-file. Click to see chapter 1: [link]

userscript dev_alter_fav: create a folder where you can add deviations like favorties without faving them (e.g. if you only want to make a collection to browse later)

userscript dev_comic_nav: giving the possibility to browse a deviants gallery with next/prev based on the deviation-names via name-pattern

userscript dev_user_stat: possibility to recording favs/comments getting&giving deviants and showing them when seeing them (especially useful for forgetful people like me)

some sprite-practice (I began recently with that, as you can see when looking at my Icon)

userscript dev_note_filter: let's search in notes! (currently at ca. 20%)

a beginner-tutorial about making userscripts

I don't know if anyone bother to read my Journals, but If you like one of the ideas or you have a different one about me doing next, please leave a comment!
If you (dear anonymous person) don't want to post it in public (although I don't think many will read that), feel free to send me a note!

Regards,
Julian

Userscripts and next submits...

by =Dediggefedde, Jan 20, 2012, 11:00:49 AM
Journals / Personal

Hi there!

If you watch me and care enough to read this journal, you might already know that I'm writing userscripts, most of them based on suggestions I found somehow.

So yesterday I uploaded a new script based on a suggestion `ginkgografix made about filtering Journals.

The next script, I would like to write is about a Suggestion about storing Deviations for later viewing without faving them: [link]
Of course, that would only work within one browser on one computer at a time.
However, that may be very useful and I would like to include a voluntary statistic about how many were marked to view later, how many were actually viewed and how many were faved...

Next thing: I've got a very cheap flash-program and try to learn a bit actionscripting with the best method I know: working on some idea and leraning by doing.
It's kind familiar... just like javascript +basic meshed together^^

About the topic: You know text-RPGs? It's like someone opens a thread in a Forum, gives you a situation like a picture and ask, what you would do...
Some time ago I read through "Ruby's quest" by weaver (all pictures made by him), from which ~TekStation made a flash-series:
(It's not that well drawn, as weaver focused on the story/game, but it's fun to read. However, mature content for some paint-horror)
[link]

So, I plan to do a similar thing with another one of weaver's stories "Divequest":
(mature content again, as some blood and wounds... and some porn at the end of the page...)
[link]

I will upload the first chapter of this here when I'm finished to ask for some critique.
(I already have weaver's permission If he will get proper credits within the flash)...

Something about userscripts again:
If you have a suggestion you don't want to make a visual suggestion of, you can always send me a Note, if you want to know, whether it would be possible to write a userscript.

for some userscripts I may finish sometime:

A Mass-Fav-Script to fave deviations from the overview... I don't like to fav like that, but I was courious if it was possible^^ I also got some suggestions about this.

A quick-browing-script for browsing a deviants work. Now you can only browse e.g. a comic propper, if the artis insertet page-links himself or the deviation were grouped within a folder in the right order... so I thought of method you could change the next deviation you would be directed to by clicking the next-link with a proper pattern...

I also plan to make some more physic-pictures and maybe the .net-program I wanted to use them in^^ However, as I have not really enough free time for such things, as there are some minor distractions like studying physic, it may need some... weeks... months... to do something

So, thanks for reading (or downscrolling)...
I don't think there will come another Journal in some time^^

Regards,
Julian

holiday is over, jquery begins

by =Dediggefedde, Jan 9, 2012, 1:41:30 PM
Journals / Personal

So holiday is over for me...
Not that I was that active in my holidays, that you would feel any difference... But I need a second journal-entry for a new script of mine!

Some Informations (You don't need any of them!):

I just learned how to use jquery, so maybe I will write some more scripts in future!
jquery seems to offer a lot of things I wanted to use since a long time ago without any circumstances...
if you don't know about it: it's a javascript-libary that you can use in userscripts.

I volunteered by for auditing her chatacter Kuma's voice in her comic . She is currently holding a project for making an audio-version of her comic.
However, Kuma didn't appeared yet, so I simply have to wait a bit^^

As you can see, I use some pixelart-icons recently, so you might have guessed that I try that art-style currently... I already made abut 10 little symbols, also animated, but it's kind of a waste to submit something about 30*30px... so maybe I make a pack sometime to upload...

I met some Swiss guy that sells Russian Gamekeys and Russian-to-German-Patches for current games at some discount-prices and helped him to redesign his webstore (html, php, ajax, some prestashop-hacking^^)

So, please have a nice day!

Using GM-scripts with other Browser

Journal Entry: Thu Sep 22, 2011, 5:31 AM

Gallery●Profile●Note Me●My Prints

Greasemonkey-Scripts are to use with Firefox and Firefox-Addon Greasemonkey.

However, it is possible to use them in other browsers as well (now with videos!):

Firefox:

For firefox, just install greasemonkey-addon here: [link]
Everything is now set well, just visit the intall-link within the userscripts-description, press install on the targeted site and refresh deviantart to use it!

Opera:

See the video: [link]

If the userscripts aren't using GM_functions, they will work in Opera just fine with copying them into the javascript-path.

goto menu->tools->preferences->advanced->content and check "enable JavaScript"

click on Javascript-Options and select a path on "user JavaScript folder"

If you want to install a userscript now, you have to download it and save it within this selected folder with the user.js-extension unless told otherwise.

If the userscript uses GM_function (like GM-Variables oder Cm-CrossSite-Requests) you have to install some additional things:

Download "Greasemonkey Emulation"-script into your javascript-folder and rename it to "aab-greasemonkey-emulation.js":[link]

Download Cross-Site-Handlers for Opera: [link]
(files a-lib-stacktrace.js and a-lib-xmlhttp-cd.js . Copy them in your javascript-folder, but don't rename them)

make sure you enabled some options if the script isn't working:
opera:config#Network|AllowCrossNetworkNavigation to true
opera:config#PersistentStorage|UserJSStorageQuota to something about 500 or higher
opera:config#UserPrefs|UserJavaScript to true
opera:config#UserPrefs|UserJavaScriptonHTTPS to true

Chrome:

See the video: [link]

If the Script doesn't use Cross-Site-Requests, it will just work fine with Chrome/Chromium.
You only have to install it and it will appear as extension.

However, to manage them in a better way and to allow them to contact a different than that your visiting, you should install a userscript-handler.
I would prefer this one: [link]

Please be aware to uninstall the script if you installed it before the script-handler!
You can uninstall it before or after you installed your script-handler.
But you need to make sure, the script isn't listed in your extension-list anymore, but only in your script-handler-options!
After you installed the script-handler, you can install it again like you are used to do.

Internet Explorer

Even old IEs are able to use Gm-Scripts... But not all Scripts are working well!
Especially if they use xpath or similar!
You need the application Trixie: [link]
After you installed it, you should copy your scripts into you script-path (e.g. C:/Programme/Bhelpuri/Trixie/Scripts).
After that, you should be able to activate the Script in your IE-Settings under "Trixie-Options"!

Safari

An old way that isn't very sure to get my scripts working:
Using Greasekit and Simbl:
Just follow the instruction here: [link]

A newer and often better way:

Install Ninjakit for Safari (direkt download link): [link]
Homepage: [link]
Now, just follow the install-link in the userscripts description and ckick "install" on the targeted site. The userscript should be installed now instead of downloaded.
