How it works

The script runs inside your web browser and modifies the way the fallensword page looks and behaves. Since the script runs in your web browser, the modifications can only be seen by you. The changes can be anything from adding a single link somewhere to add completely new pages in the game. See below for a introduction to some of the modifications.

Modifications

The number of modifications that are done are too many to list here, but some of the highlights are listed below. For a more complete list, see the official feature page. Or even better: try it out.

Inline Battles

Battles displayed on the main world screen

Instead of having battles replace the current page, battles are done in the background and the result is presented on the world page along with number of XP and gold gained by the fight as well as how much was sent to the guild bank as a result of Guild Tax. If you obtain a drop, the name of the item will be shown under the name of the creature. Finally, a small summary of the battle is also displayed below the list of creatures.

Improved Quest Log

The standard quest book has now only lists quests that has not yet been completed (it is still possible to view all quests via a link). The list contains both quests that are started but not completed as well as quests that haven't even been initiated yet. Along with the quest names, there are links to both the fallenswordguide and this wiki with more details about that particular quest. In addition, the start location and minimum required level for the quest is also displayed.

Guild Online List and Chat

List of online guild members

At the top of the rightmost column of the page, two boxes are available that makes it easier to interact with your guild. The first box is a list of guild members currently online along with links to message or buff them. The second shows the last couple of chat messages from the Guild Chat. The chat box also allows you to post message in the chat directly from the main page.
