Usually in this channel we don't publish news about IITC Button update. But today I want to tell you about a rather useful plugin
Ultimate Mission Maker, support for which has been implemented in new IITC Button v1.7.0.
Ultimate Mission Maker (UMM) is a plugin designed to simplify mission submission process in banners. The UMM allows you to set banner parameters (such as name, description, etc.) directly in IITC, draw a path for missions, and then export to Niantic's mission authoring tool.
Why didn't this plugin work with IITC Button before v1.7.0 update? Due to the fact that Intel map address was changing, some old unupdated plugins are restricted to work only with old Intel map address. So, before IITC Button v1.7.0 update, all plugins for Ingress were forced to run on new address, regardless of which address the plugins were meant for. However, this solution has disadvantages: UMM plugin can not run on
https://missions.ingress.com/, and some
.user.js files that are not plugins for IITC, on the contrary, are forced to run.
IITC Button now adds a value parser
@match/@include, which determines whether plugin is intended for Ingress and also IITC or a mission authoring tool.
Let me remind you, IITC Button (get it on
Firefox Add-ons and
Chrome Web Store) is a simple extension for players, allowing you to get IITC in your browser without proper skills and easily enable the necessary plugins. But if you're an experienced developer, you'll probably like Tampermonkey/Greasemonkey/Violentmonkey.
As for plugin support, IITC Button currently has almost all the features that third-party plugins could use, but if your plugin works in *monkey but doesn't work in IITC Button, feel free to open the
issue.
