Happy Mistake? Javascript scripts come preloaded with jQuery

[Vlek]

It appears that whatever is loaded by the window is also loaded within scripts as well. I know this might be a no brainer to some, but I wanted to share this in case anyone wanted to use jQuery that didn't want to load it themselves. There're a lot of stack overflow answers for basic scripting topics that are in jQuery that one or two people might've overlooked because they thought they couldn't readily use it.

As a side note, this also means that one can modify the client itself using scripts within aliases or triggers. I will definitely be exploring this to see if I can't add some of the features I requested and fix some of the bugs that I have found.

You can use whatever javascript you want in the client.
If you break something you have to fix it yourself.

One thing that really has been bugging me is the fact that the whole alias and trigger divs will scroll based on how many you have in your selection list. I've come up with a pretty simple solution. I had a trigger already made for finding obvious exits that checks whether a function is defined in my userdata since functions seem to never save into userdata between game saves. If it's not defined, then I haven't loaded anything, so it also loads up this jQuery css changing bit to fix it:

Code: Select all

$('.content').css("overflow", "hidden");
$('.selection').css("overflow", "auto");

Now everything has its own scrollbar where it seems fitting that there should be one! Yes, in big scripts it'll make a U-shaped scrollbar outline of the script area, but it still feels right.

That should be fixed in the next release.

Cool! Is there any way I can help?
