Linkify Plus Red Links - Linkify Quake Live chat links (Greasemonkey script)

[kryty]

I wanted to make the chat links to proper links so I tried a greasemonkey script called Linkify Plus. With it, the links were white with the white background so I modified the script to make the links red and fixed a few bugs.

Linkify Plus for Quake Live makes the links written to Quake Live chat appear as proper links. All Quake Live links that are not to forums are opened in the same window and the rest will open in a new tab or new window.

Current version:
1.1.9

Installing
First you need to be able to use userscripts.

Firefox:
Scriptish (recommended) https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...don/scriptish/
Greasemonkey: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir.../greasemonkey/

Prism:
KETNAR has a pretty good guide on how to install greasemonkey to Prism.
http://www.quakelive.com/forum/showt...-(late)-xmass.

Internet Explorer:
It is said that sometimes greasemonkey scripts wont work in IE plugin Trixie. I haven't tried it but if you'd like to try, here's the link.

Chrome:
For Chrome no extensions are needed. Userscripts work without any (thanks to fraggedICE for letting me know), but there is one extension that provides some useful features like offering an easy way to edit the scripts.

After installing the plugin, install the script. For Firefox and Chrome, just click the Install button. To install the script in prism, right click the monkey head on the right bottom corner, choose "Download User Script..." and copy paste this:

Link colors

Since the version 1.1.2 there are no Greasemonkey User script commands. Now changing the color is fairly easy, you just have to choose your desired color from the dropdown list under the chat.

If you don't find the color you want from the list below, ask it in this thread (and possible provide color name + #) and I might add it when I get the time.

Current colors:
red: #FF0000
green: #00FF00
blue: #0000FF
black: #000000

From fraggedICE:
Exact color QL uses for links like the clan tag: #ca3827

If you find any bugs, let me know.

thats pretty cool

too lazy to try it out though. maybe someone else will give a review or something...

If only it worked :P

It does work sometimes but needs more testing.

Got to work on it when I have more time.

It works now!

Haaannndy..

I'll just add that to the list over here. Thanks!

ps: You should put the word 'quake live' in the userscripts.org post name so it searches better.

Thanks for the tip. At first I didn't because it worked everywhere. I think the original Linkify is better for usage outside Quake Live, so now Linkify Plus Red Links only works with Quake Live. If wanted, i can remove this restriction.

Renamed to Linkify Plus Red Links - Linkify for Quake Live

Works fine in chrome without tampermonkey. Chrome supports most stuff from userscripts.org out of the box, including the alt server browser, great script

Thanks for letting me know, I'll update the guide.

In case you're wondering, #ca3827 is the exact colour QL uses for links like the clan tag shown on your profile page, and it is possible to test the script with /tell_buddy <yournamehere> which will bring up a chat box just for you.

I'll add that color to the list and perhaps include better instructions on how to edit the script.

FF 3.6.14, GM 0.9.1 - the script makes the site painfully slow, especially notable when checking friends' games. "Live Game Info" takes ages to pop up after just a short while from logging in. Disabling the script and reloading the site makes it literally 10 times faster. Can anyone else with appropriately big friendlist reproduce this?
