Notes

Chat direction

To have your chat direction respected nad used by ToA, you have two options:

• Install edvordo/RoA-WSHookUp userscript
  • tl;dr: this script does nothing visible, it's meant for developers to give you something to see :)
  • With this option you don't have to do anything else, your chat direction will be applied upon next refresh
  • I'm sure there will be an use for it some point anyway, the updated avabur enhacer uses it afaik
• After installing version 4.1 or later and refreshing the gamepage, go to Account Management -> Preferences -> Chat and change the setting back and forth
  • You'll only need to do this once, the setting will persist between reloads after that
  • You don't even have to save the change in chat dir., just clicking the options (New Messages on Top -> New Messages on Bottom) will make ToA use it

Fair warning

While I have no intention of harming you with my work, this is a custom JavaScript code and you should not trust and install just any script you find on the internet. Get someone that knows a bit of programming to check it for you if you are unsure!

Disclaimer

This script is a Work In Progress or WIP, while I tried hard to iron out as many bugs as I could find, only a handful of people tested it for me, so be prepared in case you run into a problem 😃 If you update me on it [via a message on RoA or in the issue tracker here on github] I'll do my best to fix as soon as possible!

How to install

The easiest way to use ToA is to install a browser Script Manager extension

• Tampermonkey - Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Opera
• Greasemonkey - Firefox, QuPZilla, ..

And then click here to install Tabs of Avabur

Warning

In case you had previous versions of ToA (prior to the 3.0 version) installed, this installation creates a new entry for ToA. Check and make sure you do not have multiple versions of ToA running before you reload the game. You can safely remove the old entry for ToA. 😊
