Global Conflict

First of all, thanks for yesterday's battle. It was the first one for me, and even though it was a little unbalanced, I enjoyed it quite a bit. Great teamwork and competent command. Very unfortunate that the battle time overlaps with 21CW's (all my pals are there, so I'll have to go back, when C46 begins...).

Anyway, I've been participating in organized battles for a few months now, and always was annoyed by the lack of a quick way to switch my tags. About a month ago, I decided to fix this nonsense and created Battletag. It's a cross-browser extension, which displays your current platoon on every server join button, and lets you select another one, with just one right click. I'm sure many GC members are a part of more than one active club too, and I urge you to try this out.

Hope you'll like it. Any feedback is welcome!

P.S. "Virtual" platoons are on the way, but not this month.

I guess you played the first matches, during the NA it was quite the opposite.

Nice contribution

Nice stuff man! I installed and will give it go right now!!

EDIT: Do you have to restart Firefox. I can see only one Tag showing under the Join button. There should be 3 and I should be able to click on them right?

You know if i had the ability to randomly makes things like this i'd definatley use those powers for Evil

i'll give it a whirl
cool stuff dude

Is there anyway to make it so you can right click and manually type in your tags?

@undrt0w: You have to right-click the join button.
@Kilo: Nice try Maybe you'll have more luck here. Anyway, I'll make something quick'n'dirty, because I need it too. Would be a nice placeholder, until the virtual platoons are implemented.

Done!

No worries, man, not your fault (you aren't the first one, for what it's worth). I'll update the screenshot with the next release, add some in-the-face usage instructions (currently it's just one word, at the very end of the description).

Kilo's dream is coming true: now it's possible to type in a clan tag.

I am getting a weird message in Firefox that the addon cannot be installed, because this is not the addon Firefox was expecting 0_o

I'm hesitant on using even the simplest coding unless I know that its clean. Anyone look this over and give it a clean bill of health? Internet makes me paranoid sometimes.

The code on github looks clean, but with analytic tracking in the chrome version.
But if you are paranoid you don't use chrome and have some sort of script blocker already.
If you are really paranoid you need to build the plugin from the source, as there are no easy way to know if the plugins are actually made from the public code.

jeremejevs good job man, no offence intended.

@undrt0w: Hmm, that's probably because it hasn't been approved by Mozilla yet, hence the striped download button. Or maybe you have to uninstall the previous version first. I'm not sure.

@cairdazar: Thanks for the review! Google Analytics is there just to match Firefox's detail of stats (i.e. languages, countries, etc.). By the way, the code can be verified in Firefox - just click View the source below the download link here. Can be done in Chrome too, but only after installing it (check %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions\ckdomikkinngpfpodjjannnbojbembhj).
