[Script] GIF Chat

GIF Chat
The worstbest userscript you never asked for.

Have you ever spoken with another player?
Have you ever wanted to tell that one annoying person in world chat to shut up with a little more flair?
Have you ever reacted to anything at all, ever?

If you answered yes to at least ZERO of those questions, this is the perfect userscript for you!



So how does it work?
I'm so glad you asked! By base64 encoding the URL to a .gif file in your messages, you can share low-quality animated photos with your friends and confuse the hell out of anyone that isn't privy to the coolest new tech Torn City has ever seen, all at the same time!

Will this make my chats look ugly and gross?
Absolutely not! Yours truly is remarkably mid at web design, so this script will never add any terrible buttons to your perfectly clean chat interface. (Trust me, I tried, it did not work out)

Does it work on mobile?
Sort of! Mobile support isn't fully tested yet, but you should now be able to send/receive GIFs on mobile with minimal issues, provided that your mobile browser supports extensions.

Is this compatible with [userscript manager]?
So far, I have only tested this script on Tampermonkey. I plan on testing other userscript managers such as Greasemonkey, Violentmonkey, etc. in the very near future, so stay tuned, or be the first and test it out yourself!

I'm sold! Where can I get it?
Awesome (for you, of course)! For the low price of absolutely free, you can install the script from here and join the next era of Torn today!

I'm not sold. In fact, I think this is stupid.
Oh-ho-ho, hold your horses! (No, seriously, your horses are running away.) You haven't even seen it in action yet! Just check out the thrilling experience I had sending a gif to Leslie:

"Wow! So cool!" - you, probably

UPDATE 1.1.0

• Added mobile support, so you can annoy all your factionmates on the go!
• Added the ability to precede an image link with text (see image below) - now you can sound the beef alarm and rant about how beefy world chat smells all at once!

Please enjoy (or despise) this script free of charge. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Awesome, but quick question - does it show up as a gif for people who are not using the script? There was a similar tool recently with the same issue here. If both parties have to have it installed, then it won't be much use, unless it becomes super popular.

Unfortunately, it does not, but this is due to security protections built into the website so there's no way around it that I'm aware of. In truth, my faction was joking about the possibility of sending gifs in faction chat and I just thought it would be a cool novelty in a group where everyone is using it.

I will never use this other than to piss people off that aren't using it, but holy f**k I love its advertisement

R+

Version 1.1.0 is now released with mobile support, bug fixes (no more console errors slowing down the browser every time you open the chat list, hooray!), and more functionality! If you're one of the 4 people who have installed this already, then you're super cool and also auto-updates should take care of it for you if you have them enabled. If not, now's the perfect time to join the fun!
