The Demon Hunter: Bliz­zard Unveils the Final Dia­blo III Class

October 25th, 2010 No comments

    Three days ago Bliz­zard announced the final Dia­blo 3 class dur­ing the open­ing cer­e­mony of Bliz­zCon: The Demon Hunter. The final class seems to be the most gadget-oriented of the five. The Demon Hunter brings a pair of dual cross­bows and quite an arse­nal of arcane gad­gets to the bat­tle­field. While the Demon Hunter def­i­nitely is a ranged char­ac­ter it’s not your typ­i­cal ranger arche­type. The new class uses knives, bows, cross­bows, and dual-wielded one-handed cross­bows as well as lots of gad­gets like traps, grenades, or bolas.

    Here’s a video of the Demon Huntress in action:

    KeeP­ass User­script Updated

    October 12th, 2010 1 comment

      Almost exactly one year ago I last updated my user­script for KeeP­ass. Dubbed KeeP­ass Auto­Type Enhancer it does a few things to make using KeeP­ass eas­ier. Firstly, the script injects the host­name in the title if it’s not already there. I changed the algo­rithm so that if the site already places its name in the title the script will only add the top level domain in the appro­pri­ate place. I did this to save some space. The title bar always looks pretty crowded to me nowadays.

      Sec­ondly, the script tries to locate INPUT tags of the type pass­word on the site it’s exe­cuted. It then looks for the first INPUT tag of the type text that comes before the pass­word input field which usu­ally accepts the user­name and tries to set the focus on this input field. This way you only have to press your KeeP­ass short­cut (CTRL+ALT+A by default) to insert your cre­den­tials auto­mat­i­cally. The new ver­sion of the script will also detect login fields if they’re placed in IFRAMES. So now the script should work on sites like techreport.com as well.

      Of course, the script will not set the focus on the login fields if the input box isn’t vis­i­ble in the view­port. To force the script to always set the focus on the user­name input field, sim­ply press CTRL+ALT+S, which will set the focus on the first user­name field it finds – even if it is out­side of the view­port. In this case, the browser will scroll as needed to make the input field visible.
