GreaseMonkey script: PRSpy player locator

Post by Hoxzer »

What is this, I don't even...?
In simple words: this is a plugin for a browser that makes PRspy display player's homeland. Click "View All" on PRSpy to view all players and their nationalities. Skip to the installation if you do not want to read more detailed explanation.

Greasemonkey
Greasemonkey is a plugin for the Mozilla Firefox that allows users to install javascript files on the local computer and execute those scripts with remote web pages.

Tampermonkey
A GM alternative for the Chrome and the Chromium. This is not required for this script.

How is the locate done?
I have constructed a database using Battlefield 2 stats. This DB has nearly all PR players and their nationalities. When user loads the View All menu in PRSpy these nationalities are fetched one-by-one from the DB. The orginal source for this database was following web page: EA ::Battlefield 2:: Player Search

Why did you create this?
Out of curiosity, I wanted to know how common PR was amongst my own nation and which nationalities like to play on which server. As a bonus this allowed me to locate people from my own nation and see if those people are the ones I like to play with. This was purely created for myself and I couldn't care less if somebody else doesn't find it useful.
