Tools

There are a variety of tools that exist to automate, simplify, reproduce, or add functionality to KoL.

Scripts & Scriptlets

Scripts/Scriptlets directly affect and/or enhance the functionality of the standard KoL web browser interface.

They are commonly implemented in JavaScript, a browser/client scripting language, but are sometimes dynamically generated by PHP or some other server scripting language.

Scriptlets are usually run by entering "javascript:SCRIPT" in the address bar of a web browser. They can also be bookmarked for easier use. Some scriptlets are browser-dependent.

• Ohayou has written a multitude of handy scriptlets. His Repeat Action Scriptlet has been revised in this forum thread. Also popular is his UI improvements script, which not only logs and displays his item effect logging scriptlet, but also combines a variety of his other scriptlets.

Greasemonkey User Scripts

Greasemonkey is an extension for the Firefox web browser, which provides a framework for user scripts to be written to automatically be invoked when you visit a particular page.

In-depth instructions on using Greasemonkey are available at this forum post, courtesy of Aprocalypse.

The following scripts all require Greasemonkey.

• Tard created a multitude of various scripts, from an arena trainer to spoiler/helper scripts, that can automatically inform you of updates when using his Framework script. These scripts have since been updated and maintained by SomeStranger at his user scripts page.

• Turias has a selection of scripts available at this forum thread, including a color-changing, location drop-down, moon, search, and toolbar script.

• Numfar has authored a monster stat, wiki-linking, and bang potion script, which are available at his user scripts page.

• OneTonTomato has authored a large number of scripts, all of which are available at his user scripts page.

• DaCyclops provides a number of small helpful scripts, including one that counts visible trophies and one that shows the moon sign effects on ascension, at his user scripts page.

For a more complete list, see the List of all Greasemonkey Scripts (Categorized).

Stylish

Stylish is a Firefox extension similar to Greasemonkey, but is more visual than functional in nature. KoL Stylish scripts include one that labels chat mods and one that colorizes a menu to highlight HP and MP Restorers.

For more information, see the Stylish website and a list of KoL Stylish scripts.
