kongregate doesnt have anything better to do than update their code all the time? they should better start giving badges to games which deserve them.. (aka the ones I like :D )
Thanks a lot for all the hard work, keeping KBH up-to-date..
I don't want this to sound like I'm trying to down anyone or anything, but I'm wondering, why can't KBH work for games that are server sided like that shitty swords and potions game. I don't understand why KBH doesn't work for it after all kongregate is still getting the 'you've done it' info.
Can someone explain this to me in laymen terms.
new version is out.
fixed
The only feedback I have from a non-programming/designing perspective is suggest adding some form of color scheme to indicate Easy, Medium, Hard and Impossible badges instead of having just blue symbols to indicate badges in general.
done
I use this AoB tool to make all the AoBs I post. Try the online version if you dont feel like downloading it.
"Obviously, windows are central to Windows. They are so important that they named the operating system after them. But what is a window?"
Ooh, color scheme is going to be nice!
mmo's like that communicate server to server. unless they get that info from that specific server, it will be ignored. kbh only works on games where they dont use server to server communication
Addendum from kadat:
Just so no one has to ask "why not simply spoof the server credetials?"
In the case of kongregates server to server statistics handler, there is a special 'password' that is needed. This password is known only to kongregate and the developer. The only way to get this password would be a direct assault on either kongregate or the developer, either of which could land you in jail for as many as 80 years here in the US. Even if you were to ignore the legal ramifications, the task of automating such an attack is insurmountably infeasible.

I'm guessing you are talking about SSL keys? Just go ask the NSA for them, I'm sure they can get them for you, haha.
anyone have any bugs or suggestions let me know. Im kinda itching to to release version 1.2.1.0, but i dont think its worth the trouble for the one little thing ive added.

So far it is working well. Thanks!
working great. thanks a lot!
Suggestions? Remove the ad :D
But seriously... Hmm you could add another view with links to badged games that you didn't done yet.
After clicking a link it would pass it to main window and invoke get categories.
Removing the ad isn't a good idea. It isn't even an issue.
Version 1.0.0.0 is working fine for me, but version 1.2.0.0 gives an error when trying to log in:
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Web, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
Any ideas? Tried googling it and applying some microsoft fix (network service permissions), no luck.
Edit: installing .NET 4.5 (over 4.0) fixed it!
O RLY?
1: the ad is there for statistic reasons and if you or anyone tries to remove it (unless you're kadat) it will result in KBH not working since it loads needed files/parameters along with th ad.
2:not sure what you are asking. KBH grabs the badges and stat submits for every game where it is possible. theres no database to look up like the userscript des with aob's. KBH grabs the statistics to submit straight from the game page that you load. as long as youve played the game once before, it should work on almost every game.
3:the link grabbing idea would be interesting, but could also be a pain in the ass. he would have to code it so it detects all browsers, detects the windows, links, and a bunch of other bullshit. seems a little overboard to code something for a day or three just to save 3 seconds of copy/paste.

I have a few ideas.. Possibly be able to pull the achivements for a certian badge.. Prehaps a dropdown menu to select a badge.. Or being able to input the link of the badge page (example: http://www.kongregate.com/badge_quests/best_of_2009) and it gathers the badges required.
Making a second button under the get categories button for a get and submit so all you have to do is enter a link and hit that to get all the achivements. It would speed things up alot.
Just a couple of ideas I have thought about while using this program.
Thanks
