UPDATE: NO NEED TO INSTALL - INTEGRATED INTO THE SITE!
So 1 day after the release Christer found my stuff and integrated it partially into the site! Mainly the names only, with an option to support male/female names too. See the official announcement for details. YAAAY!How does it work?
It works automagically!
When the usual Buy Player screen is opened, you'll get a new fancy random name!
You don't like the name? Keep pressing the random button!
How to set it up on Chrome?
- Install the official Tampermonkey Extension from the Google Chrome Web Store. If you have it already, skip this step.
- Install the Roante's NameGen Button Addon.
- You're done! :-)
How to update?
Nah. Not relevant yet. Bookmarklets removed, they were so oldschool. Too 2000-ish.History
Irrelevant lol. Check git history.Acknowledgement
