Is there an update for Greasemonkey? When I updated to FF 3 beta 5, it said Greasemonkey wasn't compatible. I just checked and it still says that.

if u want clean your firefox browser cache memory:
You can check cache options on Tools/Options/Privacy/Private data/
and (clear now)button and check what do u want to delete.

if u have older files of animated ikariam or other scripts go to Tools/Greasemonkey/Manage User scripts/
select script what do u want delete and click on uninstall button.

or right click on ape in right browser corner and click on script to false or click to manage user scripts link

You know the updated pictures for building material

, wine

and the other ones? Do you think you could make a version without those?

I just like the original ones better.

EDIT: Actually, don't bother. Not worth the trouble.

You could always go into the code and change the image sources back to what they normally are. Or I can tell you what to do

Right click on the Greasemonkey icon and select manage user scripts.
Select the script labled Ikariam Animator and click on the Edit button down at the bottom.
Find this code. (Use Ctrl-F)

Source code

addAnimStyle('#advisors #advDiplomacy a.normal {	background-image:url(Http://www.bgt-angels.sk/TW/diplomat.gif);	}');
addAnimStyle('#container ul.resources .wood {	background-image:url(Http://www.bgt-angels.sk/TW/icon_wood.gif);	background-position:4px 2px;	}');
addAnimStyle('#container ul.resources .marble {	background-image:url(Http://www.bgt-angels.sk/TW/icon_marble.gif);	background-position:2px 2px;	}');
addAnimStyle('#container ul.resources .wine { 	background-image:url(Http://www.bgt-angels.sk/TW/icon_wine.gif);	background-position:4px 2px;	}');
addAnimStyle('#container ul.resources .glass {	background-image:url(Http://www.bgt-angels.sk/TW/icon_glass.gif);	background-position:4px 2px;	}');
addAnimStyle('#container ul.resources .sulfur {	background-image:url(Http://www.bgt-angels.sk/TW/icon_sulfur.gif);	background-position:2px 2px;	}');

Replace that with.

Source code

addAnimStyle('#advisors #advDiplomacy a.normal {	background-image:url(Http://www.bgt-angels.sk/TW/diplomat.gif);	}');
addAnimStyle('#container ul.resources .wood {	background-image:url(http://s1.ikariam.com/skin/resources/icon_wood.gif);	background-position:4px 2px;	}');
addAnimStyle('#container ul.resources .marble {	background-image:url(http://s1.ikariam.com/skin/resources/icon_marble.gif);	background-position:2px 2px;	}');
addAnimStyle('#container ul.resources .wine { 	background-image:url(http://s1.ikariam.com/skin/resources/icon_wine.gif);	background-position:4px 2px;	}');
addAnimStyle('#container ul.resources .glass {	background-image:url(http://s1.ikariam.com/skin/resources/icon_glass.gif);	background-position:4px 2px;	}');
addAnimStyle('#container ul.resources .sulfur {	background-image:url(http://s1.ikariam.com/skin/resources/icon_sulfur.gif);	background-position:2px 2px;	}');

Just deleting these 5 lines should also work.

Animated Ikariam CANCELED

For more comfort of playing I must CANCELED this project for Mozilla Firefox because animated files are 5-7 times bigger than static. For many players is speed of game too low and can be frustrating and hard to focus to fluently play the game Ikariam.

! Do not uninstall your Animated Ikariam. I will release last update what can optimalize game loading speed around 40-60% for Mozilla,IE6 and IE7! Last version will be in support-mode and you can play without changes or brakes.

More informations i will release later.I would like to heard your opinions about this decision.

Around 29.-30. May i release more informations about Canceling of Animated Ikariam for Mozilla Firefox and future plans

Other browsers versions will be still fully supported.

I preparing some other new projects and i need time for develop.

First of all, Anilo, let me say how much I appreciate your creating the script and graphics for others to enjoy. And I do enjoy your work. I knew that the town center building should have flames dancing in front of it, but I was delighted to see also the water in the fountain. Such tiny detail. And every waterfront needs a working crane to load the ships. But what really made me laugh was the diplomat giving me such a look, like someone's leering avatar.

15 years ago, a 160 x 240 pixel animation at 15 frames per second was a staggering demand on computer resources and bandwidth [1.5 megabytes, oh my!]. On today's computers people watch full-screen high-definition video at 30 fps. But they don't do that over a 56 K modem connection or on a machine with 512 megs of RAM. The size of your little animations is not the problem. Nor is it a problem of Firefox, which always loads faster for me than Explorer.

My point is that rather than discontinuing a wonderful feature for Ikarium on a popular and innovative browser you could think about it this way:
>> You are more likely to hear from grumpy users than pleased ones. Sad but true.
>> Your answers to the whiners are very generous and helpful. I loved your information about editing the script. [My answer would be, if you don't like it, don't use it.]
>> Instead of losing the pleasure of creating something for so many, or denying those who enjoy your work for the reason that a few have problems, you may say to those with distracting slowness that instead of blaming your work, they could take responsibility for their pleasure by upgrading their computers to meet certain basic requirements, such as internet access via cable or DSL and having sufficient RAM.
:rolleyes:

RAM is the single most important upgrade to having a computer that is fun instead of being weak and slow. It is so cheap that you might say the minimum amount of RAM that you need is however much is the most RAM that your computer will take.

Anyway, I will stop now, for I am obviously a very crabby person, and your readers will want to get back to something more nice. But whatever you decide, do it for your own reasons. You have a worthwhile talent that will bring good however you express it. Do not let anyone discourage your enjoyment or sharing of it.

Regards,
musclemutt

No this just takes some of the pictures of buildings and things like that and adds a little animation to them.

It still works, but I can't tell if it works in conjunction with the day/night script because that script does not work with the updated Ikariam patch. Nice effects though.

Want a sig, banner, or avatar? Just CLICK and ask!
Any other questions? Feel free to ask them, it is what I'm here for. ^_^

Well screen captures are kind of pointless since they show everything as in-animate. The flags move, and so do your advisors.

The dock's crane moves, the research telescope etc.
