As many (~42) of you have seen, I have recently developed a system for ensuring a crate is stashed on a page before continuing a mission. You may try this mission at http://www.pmog.com/missions/hon.... The features currently include: (This is to prevent looting their own crate) I'd like some user feedback on this system, and to see what other Benefactors might need from this system. |

Can't take the mission right now. Nothing appears on the first page. |

I liked it, I thought it was novel way of getting things done.

I managed to break it, I think by doing this: 1. loot a crate
Result: There is no "next" link on the crate page, and looting is disabled. |

tekkguy is right! This was put in place to prevent users from passing through the gate, then using the back button to go grab the crate they stashed. I'm happy you tried though, makes the work I put into that part seem worth it. Again, any suggestions for this systen or any other you would like to see, let me know, and I'll see what I can come up with. I'm enjoying the exercise in javascript again. |

The snag I seem to be finding on most honour crate missions (or at least those that encourage you to leave something for the next person), is that the only way to get from page one to page two etc... is a direct route - placing a crate means anyone keeping up to date on the Recent Events page can see exactly where to find a regular supply of crates. I'm not sure I can see a way around it aside from your rather ingenious mission, so kudos. |

am i allowed to break it? i.e. generate false referrers, use proxys, write my own javascript, etc.? |

pgu5802: Seeing that that's how I made it in the first place, I'd say no. Something like Greasemonkey could easily break this. Seeing that it's all client side script, there's not much saving it there. |

I seem to have broken it by accident (though there weren't any crates, so I couldn't have been the first. I'm running noScript with most websites blocked (exception being pmog, and a temp exception for the last page of any given mission). Perhaps you could move your script to the "complete" part of the mission (what stops people from not completing it but looting the box?), or do some trickery to make Firefox see the script as originating from pmog instead of from the source site? |

LOL, no, that's called cross site scripting, and is so much more of a hack, and dangerous! Unless PMOG devs want to incorporate my tool (hint hint!). Anyway, anyone can loot the crate. The idea on this tool is that you can't complete the mission UNLESS you stash a crate. I'm hoping to do more work on the whole crate exchange version, but work keeps me busy. I'll update everyone when I get it working. |
