Trust me, it's worth it.

I mentioned on another thread that I quickly threw together a greasemonkey script that exports your owned games to a format I *think* MaGog can import and understand. Download it here:

If you don't know what greasemonkey is then reading about the Barefoot essentials script should enlighten you:

I dunno how well this works so use at your own risk. And sorry to mrkgnao if it messes up MaGog in anyway.

Not quite perfect but very useful.

A small problem is that it doesn't work if you don't have hidden game (because document.getElementById('hiddenGamesList') returns null then sp getting its children doesn't work).

A mild problem is that games with DLC that appear as one box on the shelf don't get their DLC picked up, only the base game (it happened with Risen 2 for me, whose Gold Edition I recently bought but only the base game is picked up by your script).

A slightly bigger problem, I think is that games that have more than one box on the shelf (like Cognition which is one title on Magog and 4 on the shelf, same with dracula 4+5) and removed titles that you own appear borked, like in the attached picture.

I don't know why removed titles don't work, they look the same in the file your script generates as in the file magog generates.


So adding a list of game Ids for the script to ignore that includes the removed titles and either adding the shelf game IDs for dracula 4, dracula 5 and the 4 cognition episodes to that list or adding special handling of those should make the script work.

DLC, removed games and premium editions would still have to be added manually but that is much less than regular games.

Ah, too late for me, unfortunately, I'm almost at the end.
Anyway any automatic procedure is always welcomed.

Hey, mrkgnao, is it possible to search something like this in MaGog:
- show the last 20 updated games, ordered by modified date.

Ok I've hopefully fixed some of the smaller issues. Same links as before

As a quick hack I've add a list of ignored game IDs cribbed from MaGog but I've no idea if it catches them properly as i don't have any premium or DLC games myself. If anyone wants to adapt the script for themselves, feel free!

ANNOUNCEMENT:
Version 2.2.1 has been released with the following features:
* Tweaked the title sorting algorithm to result in a more natural order (e.g. "Baldur's Gate: The Original Saga" precedes "Baldur's Gate 2 Complete")
* Changed some of the colours in the dark theme in order — hopefully — to improve legibility (red to yellow, maroon to peru)

Cheers for the first one - always found it annoying when games in a series don't show up in order. :-)

Not sure I follow the second though - where exactly can we test the colour changes, I still get the red column in the results page.

Not sure I understand. There are already working forum links for the removed one.

Could you elaborate a bit? What HTTPS pages? What are the benefits and drawbacks of that?
P.S. I'm not a web programmer, so rather new to all of this.

:)))

What do you mean by "updated games"?

I didn't change the "red" (technically, maroon) column. Looked OK to me.

What I did change:
Red to Yellow:
- Number of hours since database update (on engine page)
- Warning when attempting to delete a tag which has been associated with at least one game (on results page)

Maroon to Peru (all on results page):
- Header row (column titles)
- Footer row (mean price)
- "Row #" column
- Fields names in the "My Fields" column

I mean those games that are updated by GOG (installer version, language, bonus, etc..)
I don't know, however, if that info is showed somewhere.
With such feature, it would be easier to find the last updated game (and maybe what has changed).

Wh-what? Pilots? O_o

Are you using the Dark Grey theme?

O-oh, I misunderstood the red --> yellow change, but got the maroon --> peru changes.

Personally, I think they were fine as they were, but then I have a "natural" aversion for anything light coloured on the Internet. ;-)

For now, I decided not to complicate MaGog with that (there is already a low-priority request for it by Shambhala (#13 on the OP)).

What I do instead is post my findings on a daily basis to the The "what did just update?" thread. Look for posts that begin with "From MaGog's logs...".

He's referring to my quotes such as "[French accent] Listen very carefully. I shall say this only once."
These are from an old British sitcom called 'Allo, 'Allo.
You might be too young to identify it.


Sorry, my wife complained that Maroon on Dark Grey was unreadable. My wife trumps anyone from Vatican City.

XD - and that's exactly the way it should be, +1!! ;-)

... wait... what if I changed my location, would that give me better changes...?
... nah, just kidding! I didn't even notice where the red --> yellow change took place, and peru is still a lot better than yellow. :-)
