El proceso es similar para Windows, Linux y Mac.

Tutorial creado para la versión 3.5.2

Como todos sabeis el hecho de no tener el dialogo de confirmación de Firefox tiene varias ventajas, la primera es que jugar al Travian es más sencillo, pero puede ser una desventaja si lo usais para navegar normalmente, ya que se repite las acciones, en futura versiones incluiré el dialogo solo en sitios con https, pero de momento esto es lo que tenemos.

1.-
Lo primero es hacerse con el Firefox y las posibles librerias adicionales.

Para Windows:
Descargar el navegador aqui:
http://www.travibar.com/mozilla/firefox-3.5.2.en-US.win32.installer.exe

Depende de la versión de windows que tengas, puedes necesitar esto, descargalo y tenlo a mano:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=A5C84275-3B97-4AB7-A40D-3802B2AF5FC2&displaylang=es

Para Linux: TO-DO (Please read the post about get rid of this message)
Para MAC: TO-DO (You need to compile yourself)

2.-

Una ve descargado el firefox, lo instalamos, cuando pregunte que donde instala el firefox elegimos  una ubicación que sepamos donde anda, por ejemplo c:\FirefoxParaTravian\ , de esa forma no modifica nuestro Firefox Oficial y podemos borrarlo y manipularlo a nuestro antojo.

3.-

Ahora preparamos el inicio del navegador, creamos un fichero de texto en el escritorio que contenga esto:

@echo off
set MOZ_NO_REMOTE=1
start “” “c:\FirefoxParaTravian\firefox.exe” -p
set MOZ_NO_REMOTE=0

y lo llamamos FirefoxParaTravian.BAT (la extensión .bat es super importante), y la ruta debe de ser donde tenemos el nuevo firefox instalado, la -p es para inicio en modo de selección de perfil y el MOZ_NO_REMOTE para permitir varios perfiles simultaneamente

4.-

Hacemos doble click sobre nuestro nuevo fichero .BAT, se abre un cuadro de dialogo que pone: Firefox – Choose User Profile , tendreis normalmente un default y poco más, vamos a crear un perfil nuevo para el Travian, pulsamos en Create Profile.., Next > , En “Enter New profile name” escribirmos Para Travian y le damos a Finish, volvemos al menu de selección de perfil , seleccionamos Para Travian y le damos a Start Firefox.

5.-

Ahora toca ponerlo en Español o cualquier otro lenguage que nos venga bien (este paso es opcional), vamos a esta dirección:
ftp://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.5.2/linux-i686/xpi/

y pinchamos en es-ES.xpi para españa (es-AR para argentina, es-MX para mexico…), encima de la página aparece, Firefox prevented this site from asking bla bla bla  y a la derecha “AlloW”, pulsamos Allow, nos sale el cuadro de Install add-ons, esperamos 5 segundos y pulsamos en Install.
Cerramos la ventana de install y escribimos en la barra de direcciones about:config, nos sale lo de “I’ll be careful, I Promise!” pulsamos, ponemos en Filter: general.useragent.locale
nos sale debajo una propiedad con ese nombre y el Valor en-US, modificamos este valor por es-ES, hacemos doble click encima de general.useragent.locale y escribimos es-ES (o el que toque es-AR o es-MX), cerramos Firefox y volvemos a ejecutar el .BAT, recordar elegir siempre el perfil “Para Travian”, si todo ha salido bien vereis el Firefox en español.

Ahora podeis tener el Firefox que useis para las otras cosas y el “especial” para Travian simultaneamente.

Common to all configurations

These are the settings that seem to be common to all configuration files regardless of connection speed or computer speed with a couple of additions – plugin paths can be found with about:plugins and the bookmark menu delay is turned off.

user_pref(“network.http.pipelining”, true);
user_pref(“network.http.proxy.pipelining”, true);
user_pref(“network.http.pipelining.maxrequests”, 8);
user_pref(“content.notify.backoffcount”, 5);
user_pref(“plugin.expose_full_path”, true);
user_pref(“ui.submenuDelay”, 0);

Fast Computer Fast Connection

user_pref(“content.interrupt.parsing”, true);
user_pref(“content.max.tokenizing.time”, 2250000);
user_pref(“content.notify.interval”, 750000);
user_pref(“content.notify.ontimer”, true);
user_pref(“content.switch.threshold”, 750000);
user_pref(“nglayout.initialpaint.delay”, 0);
user_pref(“network.http.max-connections”, 48);
user_pref(“network.http.max-connections-per-server”, 16);
user_pref(“network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy”, 16);
user_pref(“network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server”, 8);
user_pref(“browser.cache.memory.capacity”, 65536);

A couple settings of note – Firefox is allocated 4096 KB of memory by default and in this configuration we give it roughly 65MB as denoted by the last line. This can be changed according to what is used.

Fast Computer, Slower Connection

This configuration is more suited to people without ultra fast connections. We are not talking about dial up connections but slower DSL / Cable connections.

user_pref(“content.max.tokenizing.time”, 2250000);
user_pref(“content.notify.interval”, 750000);
user_pref(“content.notify.ontimer”, true);
user_pref(“content.switch.threshold”, 750000);
user_pref(“network.http.max-connections”, 48);
user_pref(“network.http.max-connections-per-server”, 16);
user_pref(“network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy”, 16);
user_pref(“network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server”, 8);
user_pref(“nglayout.initialpaint.delay”, 0);
user_pref(“browser.cache.memory.capacity”, 65536);

Fast Computer, Slow Connection

user_pref(“browser.xul.error_pages.enabled”, true);
user_pref(“content.interrupt.parsing”, true);
user_pref(“content.max.tokenizing.time”, 3000000);
user_pref(“content.maxtextrun”, 8191);
user_pref(“content.notify.interval”, 750000);
user_pref(“content.notify.ontimer”, true);
user_pref(“content.switch.threshold”, 750000);
user_pref(“network.http.max-connections”, 32);
user_pref(“network.http.max-connections-per-server”, 8);
user_pref(“network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy”, 8);
user_pref(“network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server”, 4);
user_pref(“nglayout.initialpaint.delay”, 0);
user_pref(“browser.cache.memory.capacity”, 65536);

Slow Computer, Fast Connection

user_pref(“content.max.tokenizing.time”, 3000000);
user_pref(“content.notify.backoffcount”, 5);
user_pref(“content.notify.interval”, 1000000);
user_pref(“content.notify.ontimer”, true);
user_pref(“content.switch.threshold”, 1000000);
user_pref(“content.maxtextrun”, 4095);
user_pref(“nglayout.initialpaint.delay”, 1000);
user_pref(“network.http.max-connections”, 48);
user_pref(“network.http.max-connections-per-server”, 16);
user_pref(“network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy”, 16);
user_pref(“network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server”, 8);
user_pref(“dom.disable_window_status_change”, true);

One of the changes made for this particular configuration is the final line where the status bar is disabled for changing web pages to save processor time.

Slow Computer, Slow Connection

We have entered the doldrums of the dial-up user

user_pref(“content.max.tokenizing.time”, 2250000);
user_pref(“content.notify.interval”, 750000);
user_pref(“content.notify.ontimer”, true);
user_pref(“content.switch.threshold”, 750000);
user_pref(“nglayout.initialpaint.delay”, 750);
user_pref(“network.http.max-connections”, 32);
user_pref(“network.http.max-connections-per-server”, 8);
user_pref(“network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy”, 8);
user_pref(“network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server”, 4);
user_pref(“dom.disable_window_status_change”, true);

Firefox 3.1 and up, uses a new JavaScript engine called TraceMonkey to increase browsing speed. However this is not enabled by default because  need more testing.

How to enable TraceMonkey?:

• Type about:config in the Firefox address bar and click ‘I’ll be careful, I promise’ to the following warning:

• In the filter field type: javascript.options.jit.content
• Double click on it to change the boolean value from false to true
• Restart Firefox to apply changes.

I find two ways to do this:

1.- Patch your firefox executable with a program, but only works if you have the right version.

2.- Download source code of Firefox locate the anoying message and remove it.

I am going to explain the step 2:

a) Locate and download the source code of your prefer mozilla firefox version (mine 3.5.1 at this time).

b) Follow the instructions for you  Operating System (

https://developer.mozilla.org /en/Build_Documentation#Get_the_source )

c) Once you have all edit this file:

“SOURCE DIR”\docshell\base\nsDocShell.cpp

In the line 8638 you find this piece of code:

if ((aLoadType & LOAD_CMD_RELOAD) && postData) {
PRBool repost;
rv = ConfirmRepost(&repost);
if (NS_FAILED(rv)) return rv;

// If the user pressed cancel in the dialog, return.  We’re done here.
if (!repost)
return NS_BINDING_ABORTED;

Now we comment this section to “turn it off”, /* ..code.. */ to comment.

/*
if ((aLoadType & LOAD_CMD_RELOAD) && postData) {
PRBool repost;
rv = ConfirmRepost(&repost);
if (NS_FAILED(rv)) return rv;

// If the user pressed cancel in the dialog, return.  We’re done here.
if (!repost)
return NS_BINDING_ABORTED;
}
*/

If you don’t want to see any message, not only hitting reload button, you can change the function ConfirmRepost.

nsDocShell::ConfirmRepost(PRBool * aRepost)
{
*aRepost = (0 == 0);

return NS_OK;

}

d) Time to compile, create a .mozconfig file and make -f client.mk build, make installer in object dir to create a installer to deploy in other computers.

You can find a installer of 3..5.1 en-US windows version  in this location (Private Build):

http://www.travibar.com/mozilla/firefox-3.5.2.en-US.win32.installer.exe

Maybe you need to download this in order to work, if you see a message of paralen configuration error or configuration problem:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=A5C84275-3B97-4AB7-A40D-3802B2AF5FC2&displaylang=en

Select you langauge and download.

Feel free to post you problems here or in the forum:

http://www.travibar.com/forum/index.php/topic,3.0.html

Here is the full message (only works with reload button, if you hit history back, you still can see a confirm dialog):

“The page you are trying to view contains POSTDATA. If you resend the data, any actions the form carried out (such as a search or online purchase) will be repeated. To resend the data, click OK. Otherwise, click Cancel.”

0.15 version is near, and beta public open too. So we decided to install a forum and start playing with it. You can reach us in IRC too.

Link to Forum: http://www.travibar.com/forum/

IRC Status (if you don’t see a image that’s mean we are not onlie):

Travian IRC status

To join our chat, you can use a IRC program o use our widget:

http://widget.mibbit.com/?settings=83c21f01c1e52736a629dd88d349b367&server=irc.travian.net&channel=%23travibar&noServerNotices=true&noServerMotd=true&autoConnect=true

This IRC Client doesn’t need Java, Flash, only javascript, fast and simple.

With version 0.14 out as a firefox extension, and only a small part of the website working, we start the non-public testing phase.

We’ll try to be public asap (1-2 weeks).
