I mentioned on another thread that I quickly threw together a greasemonkey script that exports your owned games to a format I *think* MaGog can import and understand. Download it here:

If you don't know what greasemonkey is then reading about the Barefoot essentials script should enlighten you:
http://www.gogwiki.com/wiki/Barefoot_Essentials_for_GOG.com

I dunno how well this works so use at your own risk. And sorry to mrkgnao if it messes up MaGog in anyway.

Not quite perfect but very useful.

A small problem is that it doesn't work if you don't have hidden game (because document.getElementById('hiddenGamesList') returns null then sp getting its children doesn't work).

A mild problem is that games with DLC that appear as one box on the shelf don't get their DLC picked up, only the base game (it happened with Risen 2 for me, whose Gold Edition I recently bought but only the base game is picked up by your script).

A slightly bigger problem, I think is that games that have more than one box on the shelf (like Cognition which is one title on Magog and 4 on the shelf, same with dracula 4+5) and removed titles that you own appear borked, like in the attached picture.

I don't know why removed titles don't work, they look the same in the file your script generates as in the file magog generates.


So adding a list of game Ids for the script to ignore that includes the removed titles and either adding the shelf game IDs for dracula 4, dracula 5 and the 4 cognition episodes to that list or adding special handling of those should make the script work.

DLC, removed games and premium editions would still have to be added manually but that is much less than regular games.

Hey, mrkgnao, is it possible to search something like this in MaGog:
- show the last 20 updated games, ordered by modified date.

Ok I've hopefully fixed some of the smaller issues. Same links as before

As a quick hack I've add a list of ignored game IDs cribbed from MaGog but I've no idea if it catches them properly as i don't have any premium or DLC games myself. If anyone wants to adapt the script for themselves, feel free!

Not sure I understand. There are already working forum links for the removed one.

Could you elaborate a bit? What HTTPS pages? What are the benefits and drawbacks of that?
P.S. I'm not a web programmer, so rather new to all of this.

:)))

What do you mean by "updated games"?

I mean those games that are updated by GOG (installer version, language, bonus, etc..)
I don't know, however, if that info is showed somewhere.
With such feature, it would be easier to find the last updated game (and maybe what has changed).

Wh-what? Pilots? O_o

For now, I decided not to complicate MaGog with that (there is already a low-priority request for it by Shambhala (#13 on the OP)).

What I do instead is post my findings on a daily basis to the The "what did just update?" thread. Look for posts that begin with "From MaGog's logs...".

He's referring to my quotes such as "[French accent] Listen very carefully. I shall say this only once."
These are from an old British sitcom called 'Allo, 'Allo.
You might be too young to identify it.


Sorry, my wife complained that Maroon on Dark Grey was unreadable. My wife trumps anyone from Vatican City.

I found your statement on your Magog page a bit confusing: Maybe it would be better to directly refer to this background.
One of the Gog members uses the name "JudasIscariot". I guess that has a similar background.

It's a kind of "inside" joke.
For several years GOG stood for "Good Old Games".
Then when GOG began releasing new games too, they came out with announcement (paraphrasing):
"GOG no longer means (only) Good Old Games, now it's just GOG".
There's a couple of threads on the forum where people suggest new meanings for the GOG no-longer-acronym.

Impressive initiative!!! Good show!!!

I looked at it (once I figured out where it was, since I don't use GOG's "My Shelf", only the "My Games" list). Looks good.
I'm afraid that part of your issues, those related to the removed games, are my fault.

When I began building the database, I didn't have GOG's ID for the removed games (as there were no game pages for them), so I just gave them my own arbitrary negative IDs (-1000 to -1018). I never bothered to reasearch it further and change that. Sorry about that.

And you're doing a damn fine job hiding it :-)

N.B. I'm no web programmer either, so I'm going by cursory knowledge.

HTTPS is a secure protocol which uses SSL to encrypt any data you might send and receive. All game cards and fora have duplicate addresses: the default http://www.gog.com/<stuff>, and the secure https://secure.gog.com/<stuff>. Many people prefer to use exclusively the secure ones, whenever available. It's not critical for the purposes of your project, but it's a convenience. GOG itself is at fault here, because a lot of its own links break the secure environment and revert to default http.

So, here's the deal:

Search in MaGOG for all the removed games. You'll notice that there are no icons to display on the left, probably because they're not in the catalogue anymore. However, the fora for these games are still available,
e.g. https://secure.gog.com/forum/wallace_gromits_grand_adventures
Furthermore, if you go to https://secure.gog.com/forum and search for Wallace, you'll see that the link to the forum has its old icon. These appear to be the same size as the ones you're using, so I suggest you use these to fill the void.

Heavens, no. I do not work for money.
I work for truth and honour and justice, to protect the poor and the downtrodden, and for the occasional giveaway.

Fora... nice.
Got it. Will implement a switch to allow users to choose (non-secure will be the default).

Now I understand.
I actually liked the fact the the removed games had no image, making them stand out. I even hid the Arma images when these games were removed. But I guess you're right. Will get them.

I'm not exactly new here, but I've never dwelt into the forum before...to make a long story short, I'm a big fan of your search engine and I get now why everybody praises the GOG community. People like you who make an effort and try to better this place. Anyway +1 keep up the great work. Your new big MaGog fan :)

Much appreciated.
I too believe we are a pretty unique community.
