TornBuddy 2.0 Update: Multiple Contacts

Hello everyone,

What's New in This Version?

Previously, TornBuddy allowed you to add only one favorite contact. With this new update, you can now manage multiple favorite contacts, making messaging, trading, and item sending easier than ever.

I hope this update enhances your gaming experience. I look forward to your feedback and suggestions to continue improving TornBuddy.

Thanks to Inferno for submitting the idea.

Straight away I've noticed a couple of things that could be improved (I'd assumed it would work like this, maybe other scripters have spoiled us over the years! 😅)

When adding a new contact, there are 2 boxes; 1 for the ID number, one for a 'label'.  I'd assumed entering the ID number would automatically pull in the username but, it doesn't, it just adds the number as-is.  If there's a way to achieve this, it'd make adding new contacts that bit more intuitive.

The 'label' field, can't seem to accept more than 9 characters, which is a bit inconvenient really (the very first contact I added, I had to shrink the label and now it just looks weird 😂).  Is it possible to expand this (even by us simply editing the code, without breaking the script)?  Better yet, if usernames could be automatically pulled in (or, even if a one-click method of adding someone could be added to people's profiles/mini-profiles), there might not even be a need for a label field, it could be made optional for those who specifically need it (traders, for example).

I know this is mostly just ease of use stuff, so I'm basically just tossing some ideas out here.  It seems to work well otherwise, though, so nice work (particularly for a newer player)!  😎

Hi, part of what you said comes from choice and part comes from the fact that the script was first made for my personal use and most of the things I've added to it are actually unnecessary for me and so I don't think about them immediately (like multi contact which is a new feature, before it was a single contact).

For filling the name via id, I would have to ask for API keys and I don't want to involve an API or query of any kind in a simple script like this.

For the label, it's my choice to limit it to 9 characters. I'm modifying Torn's style so that I can change it by increasing the size of the entry. Changing this limit will break the TornPDA version, so I can't go any further for the moment. At most, I can disable the limit and adapt the width for contacts that aren't the first.

Adding a button on the person's profile could be considered. This would be a simple improvement to the script that wouldn't require much modification.

Even if those modifications are made in the future, the label will continue to be needed and asked every time you want to add someone. Modifying this will have an impact on how the data is stored and it's going to be a problem in the long run.

Bump

Very nice! Will save me some typing every time I send items. Works smoothly on TornPDA so far and I love that it doesn't need another API key.

Hey!

I updated the script because the old system of triggers (it was my first script) started to falter.
I hope it doesn't break anything for you, theoretically, it's supposed to only be more reliable.

Have a good day :)
