In case you weren't aware, browsers have something call extensions, which a developer can create to enhance the interface. Today, I took some time to create an extension that will enhance your gameplay on Sleuth Noir. However, the intent is not to cheat, automate deduction, circumvent the system, etc.

You can download and try it on your Chrome browsers from the Google Store:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/play-sleuth-noir-add-on/amnbadkgogofbgohjbkmlglnabagbmib

The first version has the following features:
1) Prevent accidental double clicks (links are disabled for three seconds after first click)
2) Monochromatic Noir themed colours on Detective Notes (instead of red/green/blue)
3) "Rule out Alibi" button to rule out all real alibis, researched, and dead
4) Quick Action links on Map page
a) Consult Fortune Teller to see whether all suspects are revealed
b) Research the Case without going to the City Hall
5) After checking if a person suspects another, you get a new link to check another person without hitting the back button
6) Automation in the following scenarios, only because it is a no-brainer
a) If you can lock pick a suspect, it will be triggered on suspect visit
b) You will ask your contact about the case on first visit
c) You will ask your contact about alibis, if available

I am not sure about you guys, but I have a Lenovo laptop and my index finger is sore from playing this game. I feel this extension doesn't take away the fun and still relies on the player's abilities. Since the page has to load before the extension kicks in, you may find elements being added late.

Do let me know whether you have any concerns or suggestions.

Regards,

J

what it did remind me of is that there are lots of sleuth backgrounds I haven't used for a while, hence I'm not sporting Secret Background 3

I just pushed another update to the Chrome Store and you should receive one soon.

Changes in current update:
1) Automation is disabled for new users by default, along with a note
2) Check for another physical evidence, similar to witness evidence
3) No more flickering due to themes
4) New theme - "Blanche!"
As the name denotes, it is mostly white, and a lot better than Green Leaf

OK, I have an ulterior motive to ask this, but it'd really complete my next extension feature.

Why can't we reply to a message we send to somebody else?

If you put the message id you sent to someone else at the end of this URL...
http://noir.playsleuth.com/mail/_index_iframe_messages.spy?nav_state=compose&replyto_messageid=

...it throws an error. Compose a message to yourself and use that, it works. I don't need you to make changes to the front end, but if you could enable the above in the code... perhaps remove a condition check, I have a feature that will be complete on both ends.

So I still get the flickers or at least a bright flash after every html click. I have the themes turned off and it still does it. AND I deleted the old extension, restarted Chrome, installed it again from the app store and yup still same deal. I had to turn it off. Sorry.

Hi Folks,

Been a while since my last update, I was busy IRL. Due to screen flicker on using themes, I have disabled it from the main extension and will make that a seperate download.

In addition to the above, you will get two new features:
1) Experimental Google Maps, when you are in London
2) Automatic Quote in Sleuth Mail
Basically a Conversation functionality similar to GMail. The last few messages automatically shows up, when you hit Reply, so that you can make sense of the message trail in the future.
Unfortunately, this will not work, from your sent box. In other words, if you send two messages back to back, only the first will be show in the trail. I tried to make even the second to be show, but the game code throws an error, when you reply with your own message's id (in the last message parameter).

If you disabled your extension, just enable it again and it should update soon.
