How to use scripts?

[DeletedUser]

Hello, I been playing Tribal Wars for a month or two now and I been reading a lot about these scripts lately and was wondering how they work. I know there are hundreds of other threads that I could read and learn instead of making myself sound like a noob asking for help. But I wasn't sure if what I was reading was up to date or even correct. So here I am.

I think the first thing I should include, as I saw this mentioned in previous threads, I am NOT a premium player. I ran into a lot of debate and different opinions on this one, some said that it was just for premium players others said it was for both. Which is correct?

Second, If I don't have to be a premium player to use scripts, does my default browser matter? I use Google Chrome. If Google Chrome doesn't work, which browser does work?

Third, If Google Chrome does work how do I use the scripts, If Google Chrome doesn't work how do I use the scripts in the different browser you suggested?

And lastly, What are some good scripts to use and how to use them?

I'd like to thank who ever will take the time and patience to answer all or some of my annoying questions.

Here is your help!!!

First, the scripts are premium players only. There is other ways to use them, but they are illegal in this game.

Second, I think that Google Chrome isn't compatible with all the kinds of scripts. I recommend Opera or Mozilla. (I prefer the first one)

Third, about how to use them, you can find the answer here:

When talking about scripts, most players are referring to fan-made code written in javascript. The various browsers out there use different javascript engines so some scripts will behave differently (or, not even work at all) depending on which browser you're using to play TW.

Most of the scripts should work with Google Chrome. A popular way to use them is to insert the code in a spot where your browser would expect a URL. Starting the address with "javascript:" instead of "http://" will tell your browser to run a script instead of opening a new web page.

For example, if I wanted to visit the tribalwars home page, I would go to my address bar and type in

http://www.tribalwars.us/

If I wanted to run a script to pop up a message saying "hello", I would go to the same spot and type in NOT

http://alert('hello')

but rather

javascript:alert('hello')

Just like with visiting websites, you can use bookmarks/favorites to use your scripts.

Players with a Premium Account can set up a quickbar with custom links that will be displayed near the top of the screen. This can be a convenient way to use your scripts from any computer. Just insert your code where you would put the URL and be sure that the "open in a new window" box isn't checked.

then when you want to use it, just click the link in your quickbar:

A lot of scripts are written to interact with premium features, and without a premium account, they won't do anything! However, anybody may use scripts that have been approved.

I think some of the Battle Report Enhancer features work for non-premium accounts. If you use it when looking at a battle report, some extra information should show up.

javascript:$.getScript('http://bit.ly/twcheese_BRE');void 0;

First, the scripts are premium players only. There is other ways to use them, but they are illegal in this game.

OK.. Then there isn't no reason to pay premium anymore, because I'll put my scripts as bookmarks!

Right?

I suppose if you only used premium for the quickbar you might decide to do that. But Premium Account does a heck of a lot more than stick a couple links up at the top . Map features, overviews, persistent report storage, report queries, village grouping, village notes, mass packets/coins/recruitment/construction/research management... those are things I wouldn't want to play without. That and I like having a picture on my profile

Yes I know that, but in the start of a world, I can use a farming script without premium... Perfect...
