[Script] WME Map Tiles Update

Map Editors Community Addons, Extensions, And Scripts
1

Hi all,

I would like to present a small script to install with Greasemonkey or Tampermonkey : Greasyfork

It gets the date and time of the last server update on status.waze.com and displays it at the start of WME as well as moving the mouse on the icon (i) and when there an update.

It also displays local time (at home) and the map time (where you are currently editing)

This script :

  • Check an update every half hour.
  • On mouseover, you will have the date of the last update to the server.
  • When you click it, you’ll go directly to the “status.waze.com” page.
  • Multilingual (all languages WME)
  • Multiserver (International, US or Israel)
  • Displays the popup green background when a map update is detected and purple when it’s a WME update
  • Displays announced delays update and others messages
  • Displays differents times (UTC, local and map time)

Last version : v1.39

Nifty! Works well.

Only thing I have noticed is that the icon does not move down when you open a UR / MP, rather it covers up the Zoom in (+) button.

3

Great update! I like it better there than on the left. Less crowded.

nhanway, might your issue be resolution related? On my screen it gets close to the + but not to the point where it interferes with anything.

4

Well, I guess there’s no accounting for poor taste – I liked it the old way, the “me” tab was relatively useless, and having this info there was handy to see when WME was first loaded.

Obscuring the map seems like a step down.

I’ve noticed the same thing as nhanway – it doesn’t move with UR/MP’s, but the zoom controls do.

5

Right! That’s what I was trying to explain. The zoom controls move to the point where the I is bellow the - to just barely coving the + between the zoom controls and the UR/MP info bar.

For me it would always push the Validator tools too far down. Being as I also have Camera Eraser the text would force everything lower.

And I see what you guys mean about the zoom controls moving. But on my screen at least it doesn’t affect any functionality.

7

ah, I don’t use either of those on a regular basis. I thought Validator made its own tab.

I’d really like to see a lot of these small scripts worked into something larger – perhaps Toolbox? This would allow for multiple people to be working on it (and not just the little parts), in addition to reducing the potential conflict between scripts.

We’ll see what happens. :slight_smile:

8

Yes, Validator and Camera Eraser use “Me” tab (and some other scripts for France).
Also, there is an incompatibility with Camera Eraser (sometimes)

That’s why I decided to move it into map.

I’ll fix it. Maybe an option to choose docking (“Me” or map) ?

Yes, it’s a good idea. I know you have the development of the toolbox. Give us API ? :wink:

9

Better than API, how would you like to develop directly on Toolbox? :slight_smile:

Another update today :

  • Detect every 30 minutes (instead of 1 hour)
  • The tooltip will open automatically when an update is detected, and for 10 seconds
  • Add a button to close tooltip if 10 seconds seems too long

doctorkb, I’m not good enough for that :frowning:

When I open an UR, zoombar and my script are completely hidden by the conversation bar.
When it’s a MP, I have same problem (not fix yet).

11

Yeah, yeah you are! You don’t want to see me if I tried to write JS from scratch! :slight_smile:

12

Update (v0.81) :

  • This problem is fixed
13

Could you also add the time of the update? The update as-of time is available in the feed, althoug I’m not sure how you’d get the performed time.

It would be fine to say it in UTC. Of course, it would be very cool to translate the time zone! :smiley:

14

Yes it’s possible. Time is available : http://status.waze.com/2014/09/17/na-map-tiles-were-successfully-updated-to-september-16-2014-2200-utc/ (Here : 22:00 UTC)

15

Indeed, it would be nice to see the time in the WME script as well: “September 16, 2014 22:00 UTC” instead of just “September 16, 2014”.

16

Update (v0.82/0.83) :

  • Add UTC and local time of the update

17

This is great! If you wanted to, you could probably glean the time of day the update was performed – if you mouse-over the date in the line “This entry was posted in North America Tile Updates on September 18, 2014.” it gives you the time of day…

Also, it would be awesome to include this in Toolbox… are you sure I can’t persuade you to join our team? :slight_smile:

18

Exactly, we can see time. I’ll add it

datetime="2014-09-18T07:46:41+00:00"

I don’t know about join toolbox’s team. I saw the source code, I have great difficulty understanding.

This script is passive (only show). On toolbox there are only active tools. Are you sure you want to include ? I would lose the paternity of my script ?

19

Toolbox has plenty of “passive” tools as well. And we’d like to build some more in, like a list of Places (similar to the list of Segments).

We would ensure you’re credited in the Acknowledgements for the continued work on TB, and you’d certainly be able to keep working on that portion if that’s all you wanted to do.

The big thing is that it would be available to everyone who uses TB – which I believe is one of the most widely distributed scripts.

Update (v0.90) :

  • Support update delays
  • Adding time in the post “status.waze.com”
