They are ordered by the "Remaining time" either ascending or descending (depends on your option in the script menu).


Is it possible to add other ordering options?

Which one would you like to see?
It is possible, but hard to do right now.

I would just like to sort by game number so it cuts down a bit more time as I don't have to look through my spreadsheet when updating games.

Also, are you able to add the Tournament Thread Link on the watched game tab just like it is on the Active Games tab?

I havn't read every reply ... but i would like to ask for a feature ... could you add a "Next Watched Game" link somewhere so that I can simply cycle through my watched games rather than have to open them one at a time from the watched game tab .... also could you add a Watched Games button under "Game Finder" on the main game menu ... i think you shoudl be able to inject that html at that location =)

Thanx

=D=

p.s. did I say how cool this grease monky addon is =)

I will look into "next watched game" implementation. But I would like not to inject anything into game menu - and I plan to change the structure if the tab later so it will be impossible to make a tab has a static name. So it will not make any sense anymore later.

Hello everyone. New version has been release with 3 new feature, and one of them is a major improvement!

Now WTG works in Chrome (well, updates do not work but that is a known issue). And also, I added a confirmation on uwatch all action and another sorting option - now you can sort games by time or game number!

Enjoy - Install link

When watching waiting games, it doesn't show the empty spots like the game finder page. So you have no clue how many more players are needed for the game to start.

Yes, I know. Sorry, this is a CC API bug and there is no way to solve it unless you nag lackattack very hard for that.

Bummers. Oh well, at least it updates when new people join the game.

Okay, I've got a weird bug.

I've got only a few games watched for tournaments I'm in or running right now (I did NOT try watching the 486 in the first round of Powers of Three, what do you think I am, nuts?)

In two of those games, a user displays as someone else, from outside the game. clicking on his profile link, or entering the game, displays him properly.


7574054
7529050

In these games [Game]morleyjoe[/Game] is being shown from the outside to be [Game]pedronicus[/Game]... WTH?

This does NOT apply to games in my active games (where I'm playing morleyjoe a few times), NOR does it show up if I just punch one of those games into game finder. ONLY in "watched games", and it is not, so far as I can tell, affecting any other users.


Anyone else having this problem, or similar?

Yes, known issue. The problem is that their user id is similar - 147392 vs 473. So the script fails to do the thing correct.

Unfortunately, I am very busy with time right now and I don't think I will have time to fix it in the nearest future.

Nice Script. The Tech Document Group should be working on this script very soon.

This is one of my favourite scripts! It makes keeping an eye on half of my tournaments so much easier, the amount of clicks that I save for updating is amazing, so my mouse is also loving it :lol:

Though, I have one tiny complaint (don't remember if I posted it already or if it has mentioned before). Everybody is shown as premium member in the list of watched games. It would really help if freemium players would be shown like that because sometimes sending out new games depends on those freemiums getting eliminated/being in games. Is there a way to change it?

Yet, even with the tiny "flaw", I'm loving it! Thanks, Dako! =D>

Nope, I cannot change it yet - the CC doesn't give premium info on players request =(.

Alright, thanks! I really don't know anything about programming so all my requests/suggestions might be off but it doesn't mean I'll stop making them :oops:

I use Watch this game for tournaments and mostly to check which games have started and finished. So I was thinking if there's a way to easily notice these kind of games. Either by sorting them in order of waiting/active/finished or use a special way of mark the games with tags "waiting", "finished". Or, if these things can't be done maybe just show the open spots (or who they are reserved to) when I go on my Watched tab.

It's not a huge deal if it can't be done but I usually go through the list of 100+ games daily and it would help me if (and probably others) so I thought I'll post my idea :)

In the menu you can select sorting order "Sort by Time" and use "Reversed order" to NO. This way all finished games will be on top of your list. As fro started games - there is no such feature.

However, I can add additional sorting by game state (active, finished, waiting) and it will sort them like that.

That would be so awesome if it's not too much work!

In my list of watched games, there has suddenly appeared game number 1, with a long list of players. (i'd say more than a hundred).
this was just after installing the new update.

Go to about:config page and post me your "greasemonkey.scriptvals.http://userscripts.org/Conquer Club - Watch This Game.games" value.

This will tell what is the problem - maybe you have malformed watched game listing.

this is the value.
Game 1 in the list still has the green link saying watch this game. So it's not watched.

Please remove the last comma in the value string - that should fix your problem.

I love the script.
When I input the name of a tournament to watch the games, the waiting games don't show up. I have tried with Options>Watch waiting games: Yes and No.

Thanks
