Battle app automation is Busted
My scripts for facebook battle apps (pirates vs ninjas & vampires vs werewolves) have been quite popular. However, due to new security features added by the developers, the script will no longer run. While it would be possible to update the scripts to the point they’d run, the developers could re-break the whole thing in two seconds, which doesn’t seem like a worthwhile way to spend time.
Apologies to those who liked the scripts. I’m still going to leave them online as examples of simple greasemonkey scripts, but they are no longer functional.
On the bright side, the game is fair again. Play for fun, and if you see ads that interest you, click on ‘em! (no, I am NOT a developer for this game, nor do I have any share in advertising revenue)

Hey I understand that point your taking about correcting the script, but in all reality you have to change 3 places, maybe just 1 but I changed three because i’m OCD when it comes to code. I’m sure you know how to do it, but if anyone else would like to know they can contact me.

Sorry Matt, I removed your email out of respect to the devs. Yes, it’s pretty easy to fix up this script, and any technically inclined users could write it on their own anyway; nothing that can be done to stop them. However, this script is staying in this busted state. I don’t want to get in a war with the people who are writing the game I like :D
(By the way, don’t judge me on the code, this was some of my first JS, and I posted a pretty preliminary version up here.)
