== What is the Galaxytool ? ==

The Galaxytool is a stand-alone tool for the browser based MMO [http://www.ogame.org Ogame] ©.

Galaxytool allows players or alliances to create and manage a map of their universe and store reports/statistics/notes on various aspects of the game. With this tool you can get information which ogame does not give you directly by actively updating your galaxytool.

==A List of Some GalaxyTool Features:==

* Search for alliance members by searching an alliance tag
* Search for all planets of a given playername
* Limit searches by:
** Moons Only
** User Notes Only
** Planets with stored espionage reports
** Blank Planet Locations for Colonization (Limit by galaxy as well as planet slots)
** Date of last update (newer as well as older)
** Resource amount in stored espionage reports
** Stored large debris fields
** Statistics (points/research/fleet)
** Inactives

* Mark alliances/players as enemies/friends/ally/wing
* Sort the data into useful information by choosing how it is displayed
* Easy to keep up to date with the available firefox plugin.
* View information in graph form to easily process point distribution.
* Links to Ostat for alliances/player for more information on players.
* and much more!

== Legality ==

This tool is absolutely rule-consistent because it never uses resources or other things from ogame directly! We asked people from the ogame staff directly if the tool and the toolbar are 100% rule-consistent - and they ARE!

*The player / alliance has to update the information manually thus it is allowed.

Users update the tool by using:
* Galaxytool Plugin for firefox
* Copy and paste of galaxy views or espionage reports directly into the galaxytool via textbox.

With this being done, all the data then becomes searchable information!

Toolbar Installation (Firefox)

2007-09-11T20:36:36Z

Digilos:

To use the plugin, it must be installed as a Firefox Add-on.

Click on the download link via the [[download]] page and install the addon.

(You may be directed to save the plugin, if so save to your desktop and then click/drag the plugin .xpi to an open firefox window to install).

You will have to close/reopen firefox to activate the plugin.

To define your options:

To do this, on the firefox menubar click on "Tools"

Then "Add-ons"

[[Image:Gtp2b-1.jpg]]

Find your Galaxytool Plugin addon and select the options button.

[[Image:Gtp2b-2.jpg]]

That will bring you to the new options screen.

[[Image:Gtp2b-3.jpg]]

There is room for up to 5 universes through the plugin.

You have to fill in the server of your universe in the "Ogame Servername" field. You can get the server address by rightclicking on the "overview" link at OGame and choose "copy link location". You will get an address like this:

http://uni15.ogame.de/game/overview.php?session=yoursession (german Uni 15).

Now you remove the "http://" and everything from "/game" to the end. That's your server address: uni15.ogame.de you have to fill in the first column.

In the "Galaxytool URL" field the path to the galaxyplugin.php of the corresponding galaxytool. Normally the file galaxyplugin.php is stored at the secret folder of your galaxytool. That file receives the information from the toolbar and its URL must be inserted at the URL textfield. You need to fill in the complete path, e.g. http://www.yourdomain.com/pathtogalaxytool/secret/galaxyplugin.php
The admin can delete the file if he does not want the usage of the toolbar. He can also rename the file, so nobody knows the URL except authorized users. So if you are not sure ask your admin whats the URL to the required file.

The "Username" and "Password" fields should be filled in with your Galaxytool username/password.

Also, be sure to fill in the "Universe" field with the correct Universe ID.

Save the data by clicking "ok".

Now your toolbar is ready to use!

If the data was sent successfully the status of the toolbar changes to show what you have updated.

The status information and all texts of the toolbar are only available in english but you can use them with every OGame language! It works with english as well as with french, spanish...

''Important: Your browser needs to load the pages (stats or galaxy view) completely! Otherwise the script won't start and the information will not be send to the galaxytool.''

== Excellent Installation guide==

An installation guide by Cyberzero can be found on the [http://board.ogame.org/thread.php?postid=4677935#post4677935][http://www.example.com link title OGame forums.]

== general ==

After downloading the ZIP file, you need to extract it. After that you will have to modify the config.php and attributes.php (from the /secret/ directory) to suit your needs. You receive the required information for the database connection from your webhoster.
If the modification of your config.php is finished, you need to upload all files to your server. Start the install.php on your webserver by typing

'''Note:''' Use Wordpad or a good text editing program and NOT Notepad to edit these files, otherwise things could get garbled.

http://address.of.your.webspace/path/to/galaxytool/install.php

in your browser and have a look at the screen. You should see something equal to this picture:

[[Image:Installation.gif]]

If there are any fields which are not green, you have a problem and you cannot start the installation.
After the installation you should delete the install.php and the update.php.

== config.php ==

Note you can find the file in the folder: /secret/

Go to your folder where you have downloaded galaxy tool (if you didn't download it yet go to the [[Download]] section on our page). In the folder you will find the "readme.txt" and some more files (including "install.php"). Well first we are going to find "config.php". Open in and then change the following:

$dbusername = 'username';

Write the username for your MySQL database in the quotation marks (you get the username from your webhoster).

$dbpassword = 'password';

Write the password for your MySQL database in the quotation marks (you get the password from your webhoster, too).

$dbname = 'database';

Write the name of your MySQL database in the quotation marks (again, you get the name from your webhoster).

$dbtablename = 'galaxy';

Write the name of the galaxy table (all the data like planets and coordinates) in the quotation marks. It is recommended to use a significant name like u15_galaxy to know what the tables are used for if you look in your database.

$utablename = 'user';

Write the name of the user table (the users of the tool) in the quotation marks. It is recommended to use a significant name like u15_user to know what the tables are used for if you look in your database.

$playertable = 'players';

Write the name of the players table in the quotation marks. It is recommended to use a significant name like u15_players to know what the tables are used for if you look in your database.

$allytable = 'alliances';

Write the name of the alliance table in the quotation marks. It is recommended to use a significant name like u15_alliances to know what the tables are used for if you look in your database.

$noticetable = 'notices';

Write the name of the notices table in the quotation marks. It is recommended to use a significant name like u15_notices to know what the tables are used for if you look in your database.

$reporttable = 'reports';

Write the name of the espionage reports table in the quotation marks. It is recommended to use a significant name like u15_reports to know what the tables are used for if you look in your database.

$iptablename = 'ips';

Write the name of the IP addresses table (IP addresses from the users of the tool) in the quotation marks. It is recommended to use a significant name like u15_ip to know what the tables are used for if you look in your database.

$shouttable = 'shoutbox';

Write the name of the shoutbox table (the shoutbox on the overview page of the tool) in the quotation marks. It is recommended to use a significant name like u15_shoutbox to know what the tables are used for if you look in your database.

$allyhistory = 'allyhistory';

Write the name of the allyhistory table in the quotation marks. It is recommended to use a significant name like u15_allyhistory to know what the tables are used for if you look in your database.

If you leave this field empty (no name between the quotation marks), no statistic records are saved. You can save webspace by keeping this field empty. The tables for statistics can become 20 MB / year for an average alliance with 10 members.

$playerhistory = 'playerhistory';

Write the name of the playerhistory table in the quotation marks. It is recommended to use a significant name like u15_playerhistory to know what the tables are used for if you look in your database.

If you leave this field empty (no name between the quotation marks), no statistic records are saved. You can save webspace by keeping this field empty. The tables for statistics can become 20 MB / year for an average alliance with 10 members.

$dbhost = 'localhost';

Write the address (e.g. localhost) for your MySQL database in the quotation marks. You will get the address from your webhoster.

== attributes.php ==

Note you can find the file in the folder: /secret/

Now if you have edited "config.php" it is time to edit some stuff to give galaxy tool another look. Now in the same folder ("secret") there is a file called "attributes.php". Open in and we are going to change some things:

$owner = 'yourname';

Write your alliance or OGame nickname in the quotation marks. It is shown at the login screen to show which tool you are using if you play in different univereses.

$maxshouts = 15;

This is the number of shouts shown in the shoutbox on the overview page. All shouts which are not shown are deleted!

$email_to = 'admin@yourdomain.com';

Enter your admin Email address where you want to receive emails about newly registered users.

$email_from = 'email@provider.xxx';

Here you can add an email address which should be shown in the FROM field of registration emails. Put the address between quotation marks.
If someone registers himself at the galaxytool, an email is sent to this address showing that someone registered and needs to be activated.
If you want to disable registering, you have to delete the register.php file.

$default_language = 'english';

Write the default language for the tool in the quotation marks.
You can choose between: german, english, spanish, dutch, balkan, french, portugues, turkish, danish, italian,polish, danish, brazil, russian, swedish or greek.

$global_universe = 15;

This is your Universe number.

== After installation ==

After the installation you have to delete the install.php and the update.php!

The first login:
Loginname: admin
Password: galatool

You should change the password for the admin account after you log in the first time!
