BOTS UNAUTHORIZED is an old archive with lots of information regarding the game. It was set up by Ed during Bots2, before he made Bots4. Some parts are no longer relevant / updated, but since Bots4 is basically a remake of Bots2, lots of stuff is still useful today.
In Bots Unauthorized you will find:
Then there are several useful extentions, aka scripts, you can install to your browser that will help you during the game. These were developed by regular players of the game. They're unofficial, but legal to use.
HOTKEYS - info - script - credits
I'd have quit without this script. It will make it possible to set your own keyboard shortcuts for the train/fight again links. After installing it, go to your workshop to set the keys.
STATISTICS - info - script - credits
Highly customizable script that will show various statistics about your bots performance regarding trains and fights.
TRAIN LIST - info - script - credits
The script enables you to minimize, maximize and highlight the trainbot boxes you want.
REMOVE FRAMES - info - script - credits
Enables you to remove the frames when training / fighting. Useful when you like to do other things while the battle continues. Also when you're playing more than one bot at a time.
BMAIL SOUND - script - credits
It makes a sound when you reveive mail.
BOT LOG - info - script - credits
This script will automatically log some info about the bots you are attacking, the information will be shown when you hover the fight list.
SHIELD ADVISER - info - script - credits
Deciding when to use a shield has never been easy, until now.
FIGHT SIMULATOR - script - credits
This script will add a couple of links in the (old) build calculator on Bots Unauthorized. They will enable you to save/load builds, and simulate fights between them.
OPPONENT ENERGY DISPLAY - info - script - credits
Useful script that shows you how much energy an opponent has left when you're fighting it
REMOVE OPPONENTS WITHOUT ENERGY - info - script - credits
This removes all targets that don't have energy. So you don't have to scroll through tons of unclanned targets to get to the ones you want to.
SORTABLE FIGHT LIST MOD - info - script - credits
Allows the fight list to be sorted.
OPEN-AS-POPUP - script
As of 2019, Chrome enforces a minimum browser width. This extension lets you have smaller windows, which can be useful to play the game while doing other stuff.
BATTLE STATS - info - script - credits
Logs stats for trains and battles, plus several other goodies.
How to install
You need Chrome+Tampermonkey or Firefox+Greasemonkey. http://userscripts-mirror.org/about/installing.html tells you how to install scripts. For Chrome; you can't install them directly from userscripts.org, so you need to download the file by right-clicking the install-button, and select Save As. Then go to Chrome's extensions page, and drag the downloaded file onto it.

In Windows+Chrome, non-web-store extensions are disabled. (still works fine for me in Mac+Chrome). You could try installing Tampermonkey first, and use this to manually add other extensions.
|
tried to add tampermonkey extension but when i press add, nothing happens haha
|
you have to either provide the path to the folder where your script is (under settings) or add it via the editor.

Does these energy scripts work?
It doesn't seem like it...
Are there a new version or anything?
|
I see a spelling mistake in Jans post :p

If you are having issues with a particular script, post the details in the forum post for that script. (the info link next to each script).

REMOVE OPPONENTS WITHOUT ENERGY - info - script - credits
This removes all targets that don't have energy. So you don't have to scroll through tons of unclanned targets to get to the ones you want to.
Just wondering why is this one text based? sorry not used to using JS
|
Because Fishwick couldn't be bothered (or doesn't know how ;) to turn it into a proper script. This worked for me: "save the code in a file as something.user.js and then drag it onto your extensions page in chrome"
|
Can someone please help me download the last script using greasemonkey
|
REMOVE OPPONENTS WITHOUT ENERGY
does anyone have this one working?
I have tried what jan said to copy it into file and save as .user.js but cant install it
any advices?
and 2nd one called "hotkeys" doesnt work for me
|
You have to drag it onto your extension page not "install". That's if I'm right
|
Neither works with chrome anymore. You have to get the ones from the chrome web store.
|
Everything still works for chrome! you have to download tampermonkey into chrome. its like the plugin for firefox grease monkey. So yea
|
basically use the makenewscript opition in tampermonkeys dashboard and copy the original code into it. It works.
|
since the hotkeys one has been put on the chrome store it would be easier to just get it from there. For other scripts you will have to use tampermonkey as Train said.
|
Its me again I got some problem.
To make it short,
so now I have every script working in my google chrome inlcuding remove opponents without energy.
But it doesn't work in my mozilla, my screen got freezed when I click fight on target, so basicly I have to click fight -> target every time if I want to attack somebody.
screenshoot how freeze look like: http://prntscr.com/5k1i45
does anyone have solution to this maybe?
|
could you try and pinpoint which script causes the freeze-up? By disable/enable them one at a time.
|
Remove opponents without energy and hotkey script cause the battle countdown timer to freeze ( just on mozilla, didnt try on opera)
|
IS there any way somebody can compile and post Fishwick's remove opponents without energy script, i cant seem to get it to work correctly with Win+Chrome+Tampermonkey.
|
Statistics dont work on Firefox 64bit 43.0.3.
I saw in replies that it didnt work before either, but it was fixed for some time..now it doesnt work again...? :D
Any chance it will be fixed or I have to DL chrome which i hate?
|
doesnt work for chrome either lol
|
Jans, can you please update the link for the Opponent Energy Display script to: https://openuserjs.org/scripts/ClayBanger/bots4Energy_display
It has a few minor bug fixes in it over the old version hosted on the userscripts mirror.
|
Jans is gone. And forum post edit functionality actually doesn't exist, so he wouldn't have been able to do it anyway. :)
I updated the post with my magical admin powers for you though. Thanks for maintaining the script and keeping it updated!
|
Anyone tried them on mobile or tried to convert?
|
"REMOVE OPPONENTS WITHOUT ENERGY - info - script - credits
This removes all targets that don't have energy. So you don't have to scroll through tons of unclanned targets to get to the ones you want to."
That one sounds great.. It works, but when I fight the fight freezes... Is there a solution to that?
|
thanks.. makes life much easier.
|
Just adding this here:
SORTABLE FIGHT LIST MOD - info - script - credits
Allows the fight list to be sorted and adds a level selector to the bottom of the page.
|
Thanks, I added your extension to the first post in this thread.
|
Some people might find this extension useful. Chrome has a newish update that makes it be a minimum of 500px wide. Sometimes you wanna have like 5 windumpers side by side and you can use this extension to have chrome tabs in "popout" mode, removing all the browser crap and removing the minimum width requirement for chrome.
|
Huh, seems like kind of a surprising change for Chrome to have made. Added, in any case. Thanks!
|
I have found that:
FIGHT SIMULATOR - script - credits
This script will add a couple of links in the (old) build calculator on Bots Unauthorized. They will enable you to save/load builds, and simulate fights between them.
Is no longer valid. Is there an update to this, perhaps? or an archived calculator which will work with this script?
Thanks!
|
Not only this fight simulator is outdated on browser, it is completely off.
I am trying out now the 99.9% winning build vs training bot and the actual win percent is not more than 10% :DDDDDD
|
I remember Emanuel had a really nice train simulator back in bots2, recall it was a standalone program where you entered your stats and picked a trainbot, then the program simulated 10k trains or something like that. Used to have it on a laptop I had, then bots2 was closed down by flor and my laptop died.. anyone still have that little program?
|
Xerex has a good one but he is never on nomore so doubt you'll get it
|
I've just made my own xD
Seems good so far
/flex
|
|
|
I don't recall seeing an update that statistics is remade by anyone. Is that right? I'm not programmer so at the whim of people that know how to make Chrome extensions...
|
Just a note for people who use Tampermonkey for their scripts (from April 22 but it just updated on my end):
