Configuration

The script uses the following default configuration:

rootURL: 'https://openfront.io/'  // Root URL for lobby detection

These can be modified in the script's CONFIG object if needed.

Behavior

  • Auto-disable on game start: When you enter a game, auto-join automatically turns OFF
  • Auto-disable on lobby return: When you return to the lobby, auto-join automatically turns OFF (prevents immediate rejoin)
  • Auto-restart on lobby leave: When you leave a lobby (via leave-lobby event), auto-join restarts searching if it was enabled
  • Permanent block on recently left lobby: Once you leave a lobby, it is permanently blocked from auto-rejoin. The block is only cleared when you join a different lobby
  • Always starts OFF: Auto-join/Notify always starts in the OFF state, even if it was enabled when you last visited
  • Settings persistence: Your join mode preference, game mode preferences, capacity filters, and sound preference are saved and restored
  • Panel position: The panel's position is saved and restored
  • Notification behavior: In Notify Only mode, notifications are automatically dismissed when entering a game or returning to lobby

Technical Details

  • Storage: Uses Tampermonkey's GM_setValue/GM_getValue for settings persistence
  • Lobby Detection: Monitors the public-lobby web component for available lobbies
  • Capacity Filtering:
    • FFA mode: Filters based on total game capacity (maxClients, config.maxClients, or config.maxPlayers properties)
    • Team mode: Filters based on players per team (calculated from total capacity divided by number of teams)
  • Join Method: Clicks the join button programmatically (provides visual feedback)
  • URL Detection: Uses URL-based detection to determine game state (lobby vs. in-game)
  • Polling: Checks for matching lobbies every 1 second when enabled
  • Sound Notification: Uses Web Audio API to generate two distinct sounds: a chime notification (playGameFoundSound()) when a matching game is found, and a boxing ring bell sound (three rings: ding ding ding) (playGameStartSound()) when the game starts/joins. Audio context creation is separated from the play calls, with sounds triggered at the appropriate events
  • Notification System: In Notify Only mode, displays a prominent banner notification with game details, auto-dismisses after 10 seconds, and tracks notified lobbies to prevent duplicates
  • UI Components: Uses HTML5 range sliders with visual track fill for capacity selection
  • Game Info Display: Real-time display of players per team for team games, updating every second
  • Mode Management: Join mode preference (autojoin or notify) is stored and restored with other settings
