What would happen if you took a stat enhancer on negative stats? Would you decrease your stats even more? :)

There is a famous quote by Warren Buffett: "No matter how great the talent or efforts, some things just take time. You can't produce a baby in one month by getting nine women pregnant."
Ched had never heard of this phrase, so when he added the rehab facilities to Torn it made perfect sense that if it takes a patient 1 month to recover from a drug addiction with 1 therapist, 30 therapists will reduce the recovery time to 1 day. Now since there of course is a linear relation between the number of therapists and recovery time Ched thought to himself: "If 1+1=2 and 30/30=1, then with the infinite budget of the Switzerland rehab facilities we can conclude that with enough (wo)manpower we can reduce the total time of recovery to ~100ms, which is approximately the time it takes for a person to click the Rehab button until they get a response from the server, by assigning approximately 864.000 therapists per patient."

As a direct consequence, and as unfortunate as it can be for us commoners, Ched had envisioned that Crimes 2.0™ would take more or less infinite time to finish, so even by assigning more developers to finish the project, as per Ched's sane reasoning above, Crimes 2.0™ can never be released since ∞ / x = ∞.

The One-time authorization code email contains a convenient "Copy Code" button, but when you paste the code into the required field on torn.com login screen it cuts off the last two digits because the Copy Code button includes the two characters "T-" and the input field is limited to 6 characters.

 

Tested on Firefox whatever is the latest version.

No screenshots.

The issue with overlapping/duplicate flags should be fixed in the latest version (version 0.25.11).

Thanks for reporting. I can confirm the issue with overlapping/duplicate destination flags. It must be something new that has changed on the page in the last few days. I will look into it.

Possible sure, but not sure I will be adding new features like that. At least not for the foreseeable future. This script was always meant to be just a replacement for the flat representation/visualization of the Torn world :)

I wonder if bumping this thread works.

 

I've updated the script so it works again, and made some improvements.

The old settings UI was much more intuitive and easily accessible.

Why not put a global settings option on the main crime hub as it was before? You already have the "Lazy float" toggle there.

 

Having to scroll in the current settings window also makes it a bit harder to adjust settings locally for each crime.

It makes it harder to get an "overview" of the settings.

 

Just my 2c :)

Well then. ·

What would be good to use that many refills on? Just on training seems like it wouldn’t do so much? Or am I wrong?

How does that root example even make sense from a developer perspective? Why not give it different names?

According to the documentation that I found of waitForKeyElements (https://gist.github.com/BrockA/2625891) then yes, it should work in the same way.

The function takes a jQuery selector string as the first parameter, so you should be able to use any of the methods listed here: https://api.jquery.com/category/selectors/

Something like this should work. *= means contains. You can also use ^= which means "starts with".

iOS Tooltip Fix

Here's a little script to try and fix those pesky tooltips that fail to show on iOS (TornPDA).

 

For instance, when you click the furthest right icon in the icon bar on the top of the screen the tooltip (almost) never shows ... this has been annoying me for way too long, so I figured I would give it a shot.

The same issue actually also applies to the furthest right icon on the main Crimes page, so now you can enjoy tooltips there as well. :D

 

Tested with:

 

  • Tampermonkey on Firefox (desktop)

  • TornPDA on iOS 18

Screenshots

 

 

Installation

Notes

I tried to make it only affect the broken tooltips, however it might make other tooltips react a bit weirdly, such as flash during opacity transitioning etc.

[APP] Torn PDA ·

I was (pleasantly) surprised to see my name in one of the default scripts in TornPDA. It must have been something I helped with ages ago. :)

Remember to tell the llm that it’s called Message, not email, in Torn :)

Tooltip doesn't show on last (most right) icon in lists ·

On iOS 18 - Safari. When clicking on the most right icon the tooltip (almost) never shows. I haven’t tried other browsers, but I get the same issue in TornPDA.

 

This happens both on the regular icon bar at the top, and also for all crimes icons on the Crimes main page.

 

This issue has been present since I started playing again late last year.

 

I had to change the default order of icons because of this since it makes it impossible to see the booster or drug cooldown times when those icons are last in the list :/

Torn Casino Rigged? My Blackjack Stats Say Yes · · 3 likes

I remember when there was a single deck, and it would shuffle only after there were 20-30 (?) cards left in the deck, and you could literally see the remaining cards in the deck in the POST request's network response.. I'm sure quite a few players must have abused over time :)

 

I always found it odd that this deck data was included in the response, but now I understand why.
