Small script that removes the animation of the pack opening.

I have been able to open about 250 packs in 100 seconds and did not receive bot hunter status, so it should be safe in that regard.
Update 0.2: It now works on desktop and TornPDA! Also, small improvements for mobile view. Thank you Anarchia for testing!
Update 0.3: You have the option to change "removePackContainer" to true, to remove the reward images. This will help with the "Use Another" button moving around. Default is false.
Update 0.4: User feedback lead to the the pack visuals being removed too. (ty ags_cs4!) I have renamed removePackContainer to removeVisuals. Also, default setting is now true, because the experience seems to be favorable, but you can still toggle them on if you want them. First version uploaded to be on greasyfork, later updates can be downloaded automatically.

Notice: Torn developers have added a 300ms delay between opens that this script doesn't deal with. Thus, this script is slightly more limited than something like "Quick Items" in TornTools.

Have fun!

Torn-PDA Clicky

It's been... a while. Enough time for flare to pass (the staff interview, that is!)

Now that flare has passed, I will continue to write up the crime leak threads. Maybe send him something nice for his work :D

The last crime was released back in October, and the last leak thread was back in May. I am discounting the thread posted by Wonderland 3 days ago as misinformation. The mainstream media over at HuffingTorn Post is trying to sell you something - I have no clue what. Or they are sniffing too much on those gasoline fumes. Don't send those guys something nice for their work.

Crime leaks come in waves, and I can't promise that I can post steady new information. I will let you know as soon as possible. There is also no ETA, don't expect a crime very-soonTM, just soonTM. There will be an ETA once committee testing starts.

Update 04.09: Ched has posted in this thread that committee testing starts on the 16th, and the full release is scheduled for September 30th. Let's see if those dates stay in place. If they do, expect frequent leaks and updates from me.

Spoilers ahead, end of spoiler is marked in green 

The start of a new crime is always the name. It is the thing that lingers in the code for months, with just a blank page as content. 

This time around, the devs knew exactly what I was doing, and did not put the actual name in the code.

The crime was known as "Chedding" since October, and the name got changed just about a week ago, after I told a dev that he can stop pretending now.

Then, over many months, information was spread through the newspaper. If you want to know about that more, it's at the end of the thread.

In January, I got my first leak. I got a list of targets that are available for the crime - not complete, but the level 1 targets.

Those are:

- Yurt

- Shack 

- Tool Shed

- Beach Hut

- Fishing Hut

- Treehouse

You might have heard about the Yurt before - it was my go-to teaser in the forums and discords. 

This leak also showed a few more metrics to a target, namely destruction and evidence. This leak also confirmed that the 13th crime will function like disposal and cracking - daily targets.

Currently, the crime looks like this:

The name of the 13th crime is arson. The goal - burn down a location and get paid. 

There are 3 item types. Igniters, Accelerators, and Dampeners. Those items can enable different actions to do.

I can't confirm this, but I think that only items you have in your inventory will be shown - It will probably not tell you outright what to use.

I have no shopping list for you (Like Emforus and I had publicized for forgery), use yurt common sense. Also, the devs have added new items that are currently unavailable and have no image or description. Once those are updated, I will post them on the thread.

(And the new temporary weapon named Bolas has an image now, but that's off-topic)

The crime banner currently shows up to 2 types of information. The stage of a fire, and depending on the step, the intensity. 

The intensity is currently only used in stage 3 and changes the opacity of the fire.

[image: img.sabbasofa.de] 

Those stages show probably the full timeline of a target - start a fire, let it burn, collect evidence, if requested.

end of spoiler - public information

Since the scamming release, there have been many hints about the crime posted in the newspaper. This is a common trend of the newspaper, which might spark some conversation about how a crime will play out, which items will be needed, and maybe even the name of the crime itself. Most of the time it's sugarvalves himself posting those hints. We should call him leakyvalves after you see how much he has already posted.

Here is a list of all public comments about the crime that I could find - If I missed any, feel free to post it. 

https://www.torn.com/newspaper.php#!/articles/2656 

sugarvalves noting that the next crime will be using items, unlike scamming

LBCs mentioned for jailing outcomes (and a shoutout!)

https://www.torn.com/newspaper.php#!/articles/2673 

again, talking about jail

Mention of items

"If we have to add items" - They did do that now.

https://www.torn.com/newspaper.php#!/articles/2714 

Yurt mentioned

https://www.torn.com/newspaper.php#!/articles/2714 

Tampon mentioned (and maybe leaked sugarvalves performance at next torncon?)

https://www.torn.com/newspaper.php#!/articles/2713 

Burnt-down warehouses mentioned (by PrincessJulie, good job!)

https://www.torn.com/newspaper.php#!/articles/2729 

Crime is more than 2 weeks away (you might want to play double it and give it to the next person a bit)  

https://www.torn.com/forums.php#/p=threads&f=2&t=16445634&b=0&a=0&start=40&to=25589783 

Reading the outcomes might help you understand the crime 

https://www.torn.com/newspaper.php#!/articles/2736 

The crime is due in April to May, according to sugarvalves in mid-March. Again, items usage is mentioned 

https://www.torn.com/newspaper.php#!/articles/2742 

Items relating to arson will be available through burglary outcomes, soonTM, as of April 11th.  

https://www.torn.com/newspaper.php#!/articles/2742 

Included a quote about the windproof lighter, without any further comment.

https://www.torn.com/newspaper.php#!/articles/2742 

Arson release date prediction set to next 4 weeks "or so", lowering soonTM release expectations.

https://www.torn.com/newspaper.php#!/articles/2742 

Sand is expected to be used as a dampener in arson.

https://www.torn.com/newspaper.php#!/articles/2742 

Smoke grenades might be used in arson, but I don't know the category.

https://www.torn.com/newspaper.php#!/articles/2742 

Blankets are expected to be used in arson.

https://www.torn.com/newspaper.php#!/articles/2742 

Another call for LBCs, to tell you that jail is back on the menu. (700 LBCs? Rookie numbers. Try 17k)

And that's pretty much everything we currently know about the new crime.

If you have questions, ask them, and I will answer them with the best of my ability. Post stuff you found, speculate how it will affect the trout population, your favorite Yurt pun - whatever. I will post once I have new stuff for you guys. 

Shoutout to Emforus, flare and the other members of the Crime Research Hub (LLC), and the Loot Rangers. :D

arson didn't have major leaks either, just unreleased items and whatever the newspaper said

there are a handful of devs who think about leaks and they are indeed making sure they don't happen. you know who you are

idk tbh, but to break even, LBCs would need to sell for about 500k plus. To make a real profit (ignoring the fact that I could have invested it somewhere else for years) likely a mil? Let's just see how much they are needed after future crime releases. 

After talking to both posters of the "Permission denied" issue, I can officially say that Greasemonkey is not supported.

If you have a "Permission denied" issue when using OutcomeDB, please use Tampermonkey or Violentmonkey (or others, but those two work) 

oh certainly, i paid 10k each. i could get it back whenever credit cards or LBCs rise in value

if they add a focus-mode so that the button is just fuckoff big, then it might be usable for that. but given that i have access to a desktop and a modified mouse for that task, I'll stick to that :D

yea I stopped buying them lol (i still have 400k of them in my display)

with so many new players joining torn, they get created waaaay faster than I could open (and finance) them. So I stopped.

Here, take my data as a guide or as a personal goal, idk, bigger number better person or something? took me about 2.5 years

[image: img.sabbasofa.de]

(and if you open 11k please please use my script to skip the animation, or use torntools quick items)

last year there were some teams with leaders that couldn't/wouldn't work together, so that fixes that.

anybody leaked the teams yet?

OutcomeDB works as expected now, it ran out of space. thank you for collecting so much data lol

The server is currently not able to process outcome data, i have messaged the server owner and will give an update once its fixed.

If you are bothered by error messages, which might or might not appear, please disable outcomedb for the time it takes you to burn through your nerve. its likely fixed by the end of the day, at the latest.

• Fixed unintended selling of certain items to shops via direct requests caused by sell values set for OC payouts

Please close this one, thanks!

Thats actually a duplicate, so please give this one the same treatment

Left of Virus Programming should be Impersonation

The forgery one also has impersonation, so probably new projects or something

The Fly-out Side Bar was teased years ago

"Elimination 2026 - Team Management and Scoring Improvements"

And I feel bottom left is ??? Headquarters

they do for me now too

the first one is normal with the actual name Playername.

The other two, and 3391983, have no name, which is shown as playername.

I found a handful of players with either spaces in their username, or an emptly (i assume NULL) username. 

This is the list:

"id": 2984979, "name": " 2984979"
"id": 2190305, "name": " 2190305"
"id": 2264573, "name": " -=TGB=-General"
"id": 1386961, "name": " _EVIL_x_REAPER"
"id": 2897819, "name": ""
"id": 3391983, "name": ""
"id": 3823176, "name": ""
"id": 2376215, "name": "p0lski "

The only spaces that are on purpose seem to be those:

"id": 17, "name": "Easter Bunny"
"id": 1500001, "name": "Test Dummy #1"
"id": 1500002, "name": "Test Dummy #2"
"id": 1500003, "name": "Test Dummy #3"

i could do a funny
