EyeWire Stats - another TamperMonkey script

[annkri]

looks like it works for me so far

[susi]

all good Kruk, annkri helped me to install correctly

[Kfay]

Oh my… so much to read
Impatient to find all new stuff you added ! Thank you a lot for all the work you still put in Eyewire

[Kfay]

Just found “Auto Complete” and “Compacted version”

[Kfay]

hey @KrzysztofKruk !

I’m back on the forum since a while. I do not know if the wuestion as already been asked but i would like to know if a script like this could be :

A button to hide/unhide parents or childs in the OV for having a better view on tha branch i’m scything and minimize the loading ressources by the same time. Is that could be possible ?
I ask because these days there’s many fully bubbles Parsec and it’s a bit full to have a correct look at.

Thank in advance for the answer (or not)

Hey @Kfay !

Funny, that you asked about it. I proposed more or less the same script for the newest Hacker here - @bl4ckscor3

Colorful Leaderboard - A script to color player names in the leaderboard

I have an idea for a script for you, if you’re interested. I was thinking about hiding branches. It would work something like this: selected a cube, click a button, all children of the selected cube are hidden, the cube is marked to indicate, it has hidden children. It would be per player basis - the hidden branches would be hidden only for the player that hid them. The data could be stored in localStorage so the hidden branches would stay hidden after a refresh. There should also be button…

Not sure, if it’s possible, but it would certainly be useful.

[Kfay]

Ho my … Always so fast to answer ! That’s exactly that !
Are you investigating if it’s possible ??

[KrzysztofKruk]

I took a quick look into the source code of EW. I think, it might be possible, but I’m not sure, for now.

[bl4ckscor3]

I have not taken a look at this yet, due to spending basically all of my EyeWire time on Hallow X-mas, but it’s certainly something that would be very useful to have.

[KrzysztofKruk]

Yeah, pretty much the same.

[Kfay]

Please please pleeeeaaase hackers
As i have a veryyyy slow internet bandwidth (8Mbits… just for info old and first internet was 512Kbits) this would really save me a bunch of hours completing cells

[KrzysztofKruk]

@Kfay I had a couple of ideas and checked them all, but none of them worked, unfortunately. Maybe there is a way, but, for now, I don’t know, how to do it.
I feel your pain with the slow connection, having myself 20Mbps. And a cell, when it’s fully loaded (level 3 of details) can take several hunders of MBs. For now, when I’m going to complete a cell, I open it, zoom in on the main trunk and do some other stuff for a couple of minutes waiting until it’s, more or less, fully loaded.
As for better visibility, you can use the X-highlight feature (described somewhere earlier in this thread) or Custom Highlight in some dark color the branches, you don’t want to see in a given time.

I was able, however, to bring back to life my scripts, that were dependent on a server side hosting: Statistics, Profile History and Extended Profile.
The Statistics works, but the new server is quite slow so it may take half a minute or even a few tries to display the Top 100 lists.

[Kfay]

Not be sorry for trying I know if it would be possible, you do !
I already use color trick when i need, thanks to show me me and color buttons !
And i do the same as you apparently i always let the OV to load a max for over an hour. So i have to scythe on the same unique cell, and i change cell only when i’m done. But it take me quite a long time.
That’s also the reason why i do not play on cells, it take me too much time to load a cube.

I decided to buy a 100Gb 4G data /month specifically for Eyewire !

[KrzysztofKruk]

Turning on the Preload cube option helps a little bit with normal playing, but other than that, yeah, only higher speeds can help.

[Kfay]

Well yeah, it help as much as it can

[sorek_m]

Thank you KK for bringing those scripts back! I’m guessing that stats collection began when you revived them, correct?

[KrzysztofKruk]

You’re welcome
I’ve collected manually all the data since the last time, the scripts were online. Now the data is collected automatically at 6:05AM UTC for the day before (so, 1:05AM in HQ. I’ve set that time, to prevent any problems with time savings).
There’s still the discrepancy between my data and the official one (visible in each user’s profile), but I don’t know, what’s the reason for that. The difference is mainly for the players, that are/were with EW from the beginning, but it isn’t very big as far as I can tell.

[KrzysztofKruk]

@kfay, @bl4ckscor3 (I’m tagging you because I’ve proposed similar idea in your topic), @others - I wasn’t able to find THE solution, but I found A solution:

Cell Loader v. 1.0.1.0
https://github.com/ChrisRaven/EyeWire-Cell-Loader/raw/main/cell_loader.user.js

What does it do
Loads a cell with full details right from the beginning, without loading the two intermediate levels, no matter the distance from the cell. Shows a loading progress counter.

How it can help
You can open a cell, wait until it’s fully loaded and then check the cubes in it, without the need to additional loading, when you’re traversing through the branches.
After the initial load, the only things, that will load are slices, when you enter a cube, chat messages and full meshes for any new cubes that’ll spawn after the loading.

How to use it

1. Open a cell
2. Wait until the counter in the bottom right corner reaches the size of the cell
3. Inspect.

During the whole loading, you’ll only see the blank cubes and when the loading finishes, the whole cell will show on its own.

If you want to turn the script off, click on the counter. It will turn gray and the script will be turned off (everything will work normally). Click it again to turn the script on (the counter should be back to white). The state of the script is stored in the localStorage, so you can turn it off, refresh the page or close the browser and when you’ll come back, it’ll still be turned off. It’s turned on by default.

IMPORTANT
DO NOT zoom in and out during loading. The cell will still load correctly, but it’ll take longer. Everytime you zoom in or out, the meshes that’ve been being currently loaded or pending will be invalidated and the loading for them will start again (it’s actually true even when you don’t use the script at all).

Performance
I’ve done a couple of tests to see, if it does have any sense. For each test I’ve limited my network connection to 5Mbps to simulate even slower speed, than I currently have. Here are the results:
Cell 1.44 - 799 cubes (complicate meshes): 5 minutes, 170MB
Cell 1.46 - 1398 cubes (simple branches, the biggest cell at the moment of testing): 8 minutes, 288MB
Cell 1.49 - 1126 cubes: 7 minutes, 278MB
However, when I didn’t know about the issue with zooming in/out and I was zooming very frequently during loading, I had these results for 1.46: 23 minutes, 762MB.

I was thinking that with a cell fully loaded to the highest details there might be some stuttering during moving throughout the cell, but I haven’t had any issues with that and my computer isn’t the fastest one (i7-4710HQ, gtx860M (4GB), 16GB RAM).
I also haven’t had any issues with memory. Actually, when only the highest details are loaded, the cell might take even less memory than without the script.

How it works
When determining, what level of details to load, the system measures the distance between the camera and each cube. The script overwrites the measuring function and now it returns the same (small) value for each measurement.

Known issues
There are many small problems, but I don’t think I will be fixing them, because they shouldn’t distrupt the playing. The issues are (amongst others):

• If you change a cell during loading, the system will still load all the cubes, that had been being loaded or in pending at the moment of changing (it’s normal in EW, no matter, if the script is installed or not).Because the counter shows all the cubes being loaded, it will show that the number of cubes loaded is larger than the number of cubes in the cell (for example, 500/800).
• When you inspect a cube, the number of loaded cubes will reset and will show 0 (so there’ll be something like 500/0).
• When a cube has been spawned after reloading the page/switching the cell, the counter will show the new spawned cubes, but won’t refresh the total number of cubes (so it might be something like 500/504, when 4 new cubes has been spawned).
• If you change the cell (without reloading the page) the counter showing the number of cubes in the cell might be a little smaller than the real value (ex. 516 instead of 522 - values I had during the testing). Thta’s how EW presents the data.

Best practices

• As I said before, don’t zoom while loading
• Refresh the page after changing the cell (to have the correct counter and to prevent potential loading of cubes from the previous cell, if it hasn’t been fully loaded before switching).

What you can change in the code on your own
To make any changes in the script, click on the TamperMonkey icon and go to the Dashboard. On the list find “Cell Loader” and click on the name. Make any changes and press Ctrl+S to save changes. Refresh EW page to apply the changes.

• You might want to change the level of defails to be loaded. For normal play, the lowest level of details might be sufficient and will make the loading much faster.
  To make the change go to line 110, where it says “return 1000;” and change the number to something else:
  ** 1200 and lower will give you the highest level of details,
  ** anything between 1200 (excluded) and 2400 (included) will set the level of details to mid,
  ** 2400 (excluded) and higher will set the level to the lowest.
• If you made any changes in the script and don’t want them to be overwritten, if an update will came, go to line 4 and change the version number to something high (ex. 100.0).

Phew, writing of this post probably took longer than writing the script
Enjoy

Wooooo man !
this is soooo coool ! I just tried and so now it fully loads the 1.46 with 1439 cubes in 27 minutes
Significantly better !
This save a lot of data !

i’ll try later to load a full on my new 4G cell network, for the moment i have a lot to scythe

by the way, there’s another thing cool ! The OV works a lot better when i navigate after the full load. Without the script, i always have refresh and fps lag, but not anymore !
This really will save me a bunch of hours
i’ll let you know if there’s any issue

Edit : i was asking for changinf the quality level… but you already think about it ! you cowboy !

Again thank you a lot !

[KrzysztofKruk]

Thanks for the feedback!
I’m really glad, that you like it. I think, I will use it a lot too.
