'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' This week, I'm feeling my style! I've got confidence in my email!

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: sb!!!!</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
If your head got disconnected and your head was rolling 
all over the place and you didn't even know were your 
body is or your head, what would you do? 
Jenny
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad struggles to read everything between "were" and the final "head". He also sings Jenny's name, as follows:}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Jennyyy... ''{high-pitched}'' Jenny! ''{speaking normally, typing}'' Um, was ''your'' head connected to ''your'' body when you wrote this email? I think I get the gist of it. ''{clears the screen}'' While my head and body are normally the bosomest ''{pronounced boosomest}'' of buddies, I suppose I could double my productivity if they were separated. Like, I could raise that ruckus I've been planning in two days instead of four! The plausibilities are endless!

''{Cut to The Field, where Strong Bad's disembodied head is speaking to Homestar Runner. A sign reads "THE CAREER ADVISOR IS REAL IN" with "REAL" being a separate removable word.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' My head could be off giving folks career advice...

''{The scene pans over and darkens, while a second scene appears on the left with a split down the middle of the screen. The scene on the left shows Strong Bad's headless body next to a box of "riot rocks", near the King of Town's castle. He is throwing the rocks at the King of Town and The Poopsmith, who is wearing [[whatsit]]-covered armor and blocking the rocks with a shield that has the King's face on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ...whilst my body is rioting against the municipality!

''{The body's scene darkens while the head's scene brightens.}''

'''HEAD BAD:''' Maybe this running business just isn't for you. Have you ever considered the making and selling of tiny breads?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Homestar Bunmaker, eh? Me likey, me likey! Thanks, Eggman! ''{turns away, but then turns back}'' Oh, and... ''{throws coins}'' why don't you get yourself something to eat? Put some meat on them bones, girl!

''{Homestar walks off. The bar dividing the two scenes slides off to the left, resulting in a single scene. The camera pans right to reveal the same rock-throwing scene just to the right of Strong Bad's head. His head turns toward his body.}''

'''HEAD BAD:''' That's some nice revolutin', there, body, but, uh, maybe we should spread out. Like, more.

''{The body gives the head a thumbs-up. Cut to a closeup of Strong Bad's head on a beach. His head is sitting on a picnic blanket, resting against a palm tree, wearing a pair of sunglasses. There is a drink with three umbrellas in front of him. A seagull can be heard in the background. The camera zooms out slowly.}''

'''HEAD BAD:''' Ah, livin' the sleazy life.

''{The camera cuts back to show that Strong Bad's head is actually alone on a small island.}''

'''HEAD BAD:''' ''{turning back}'' Hey, cabana boy! My drink needs more umbrellas! What kind of deserted island is this, anyway?

''{Cut to Club Technochocolate, where Strong Bad's body is dancing with Bubs.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Meanwhile, my body could be off putting its considerably reduced weight on it down at the cloughb!

'''BUBS:''' Dang, Strong Body! Without all that extra head ballast, your moves are twicely fresh! Twicely fresh!

''{Cut to an image of Strong Bad's head rolling across The Field.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' My head would probably get pretty dizzy just rollin' around all the time. I might have to rig up some kind of repulsor lifts!

''{The camera cuts back, and the head begins to hover through a disc on the bottom.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Naw, scratch that. I'm gonna need something with a little more... muscle.

''{The disc disappears and is replaced by flaming exhaust pipes on the top of its head. Motorcycle sounds are heard.}''

'''HEAD BAD:''' Oh, yeah! That's what I'm talkin' about! ''{leans back, as though revving up}'' Reer! Reeeeer! ''{starts zipping back and forth across the scene quickly}'' Rooow! Rooow! Rooo! Reer! ''{imitating brakes as it stops}'' Reeeeee! Whoa! This mess rules! I can finally win the million-yard dash! ''{zips forward again}'' Roooo...

''{Cut to a finish line, which the head zips through quickly. Then cut to the other side, where Coach Z is holding a stopwatch.}''

'''HEAD BAD:''' ''{imitating brakes}'' Reeeee! Oh, yes! I beat Homestar!

'''COACH Z:''' Sorry, Head Bad, but you was the only one competin' this year! Old 'Strammy's gone and quit the runnin' business!

''{Homestar jumps up behind Strong Bad's head, wearing a new hat that reads "BUNMAKER" and holding a box of "TINY BREADS".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Cooornbreeeeead! I got cornbread here! Dinner rolls! Cornbread! Everybody wants a bun! Lemme hear that dinner roll!

''{Cut to a blank white screen. Strong Bad's body walks on from stage right, while the unaltered head rolls on from stage left.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Maybe one day, we'd both learn to regenerate...

''{The head gains an arm, a green leg, a spirally arm, and an extremely thin robotic-looking leg. The body gains an odd growth colored to look like Strong Bad's head in its chest.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...creating two perfectly-formed Strong Bad specimens!

'''STRONG BODY:''' ''{in a somewhat whiny voice that sounds nothing like Strong Bad}'' I would like to go to the store.

'''HEAD BAD:''' ''{in a scratchy voice followed by laughing that also sounds nothing like Strong Bad}'' ''{unintelligible}'' [[#Footnote|[1]]] 

''{Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Eeeugh! Go away, head-nub and nub-head. Those things look straight out of the creature shop from some low-to-no budget horror film. Maybe chopping my head off isn't such a good idea.

''{Cut back to show The Cheat standing next to a guillotine near the computer.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{makes dejected The Cheat noises, walks off}''

''{Cut back to the Lappy's screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well, time to go satisfy my sudden craving for tiny breads. ''{gets up}'' Hope I can find my local bunman...

''{[[The Paper]] comes down.}''

===Footnote===

#[[#footnoteref|This line]] could be "I like your shoes", "I hate your shoes", "I think you're shoes", "I think you're cute", or "I ate your shoes".

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===

*[[Wikipedia:Ballast tanks|Ballast]] is a material (such as water) used in a ballast tank to add mass to an object, usually to improve stability.

===Trivia===

*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#below the root|below the root]]".
*One million yards is approximately 568 miles.
*This is the first email in which an Easter egg is found before the actual email is shown.
*When Head Bad is on the deserted island, he is wearing his [[Dangeresque (character)|Dangeresque]] sunglasses.

===Remarks===

*Viewing the Flash file of this email reveals a large black block covering the area that is normally outside the frame.
*[[Wiktionary:plausible|Plausible]] means "seemingly believable", and a [[Wiktionary:plausibility|plausibility]] is anything that is plausible. Strong Bad's use of the word "plausibility" is [[Malapropisms|incorrect]]; a more appropriate word would be "possibility".
*The Regenerator 4 Easter egg has an unexpected [[Lowercase i's|lowercase i]] in the same word as a capital I.
*In the DVD commentary for [[island]], [[Matt Chapman]] said that he and [[Mike Chapman|Mike]] planned to reuse the island in a later toon.
*When Head Bad finishes the 1 million yard dash, the running lanes are labeled 5, 6, 7. Lanes 1 through 4 are missing.
*"The Municipality" is a synonym of "town", as in the one over which the King rules.
*This is the first time the King of Town has shown any authority in Free Country USA.

===Goofs===

*When Head Bad gets the 'muscle' engine growing out of his head, his shadow on the ground never changes to match the engine.
*When Head Bad finishes the 1 million yard dash, the finish line tape is connected to a pole. In another shot there, the pole is gone, and the tape just sits on the ground.
*When Strong Body is "rioting against the municipality" a rock appears in his glove after each throw without him reaching into the box. Also, the rocks in the box don't seem to be disappearing.
*The Poopsmith's bat and Head Bad's sign should have been seen in the opposite scenes before the screen pans, seeing as both objects crossed the division between the screens.
*When Strong Bad is on the island, the lemon on the drinking glass appears to be directly connected to the glass, instead of being wedged into the edge.
*Bubs' mouth does not move the second time he says "twicely fresh".
*Strong Body's neck still has the shadow usually cast by Strong Bad's head, even when it's not there.

===Inside References===
*[[Head Bad and Strong Body]] were first used on [[Main Page 7]].
*Coach Z calling Homestar "'Strammy" mirrors his mispronunciation "Stramstar" in [[A Jorb Well Done]].
*Strong Bad's pronunciation of "club" also occurred in [[extra plug]].
*The exhaust pipes on Strong Bad's head are reminiscent of the ones used on Bubs's pumpkin in [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]].
*Homestar becoming a bunmaker could be related to his obsession with [[bread]] in [[origins]].
*The phrase "put your weight on it" was previously used in [[flashback]].
*Bubs describes Strong Body's dancing as "[[twice]]ly fresh".
*Bubs's dance in [[Club Technochocolate]] is the same one he did in [[geddup noise]].
*While Strong Body is dancing in Club Technochocolate, he slides on the ground while kneeling, a move that was also performed by Strong Bad at the end of his [[rock opera]].
*Strong Bad's head was first called an [[egg]] in [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]].
*A "cabana boy" was mentioned earlier in the [[Puppet Jam: Tropical Lazor Beams#DVD Transcript|DVD version of Tropical Lazor Beams]].
*This is another appearance of [[loose coins]].
*Strong Bad mentions seeing his local "bunm'n", which is an example of [["man" pronounced as "m'n"]].

===Real-World References===

*Strong Bad's "career advisor" sign is similar to the "Psychiatric help" sign used by [[Wikipedia:Lucy van Pelt|Lucy van Pelt]] from the [[Peanuts]] comics. More specifically, it reads "The doctor is real in", with "real in" being the movable part of the sign in ''[[Wikipedia:A Charlie Brown Christmas|A Charlie Brown Christmas]]''.
**The sign also is written in the "Peanuts" [[Fonts#P|font]].
*The Repulsorlift is the technology used in the ''[[Wikipedia:Star Wars|Star Wars]]'' universe to create lift for vehicles. It is most notably used on the various speeders, but it also works for spacecraft, such as the [[Wikipedia:X-wing|X-wing]]. It is supposedly based on the creation of artificial gravity "pockets" that act against the natural gravity of other objects.
*The phrase "put your weight on it" (in reference to dancing) comes from the Rudy Ray Moore movie ''[[Wikipedia:Disco Godfather|Disco Godfather]]''.
*"Lemme hear that dinner roll" is a reference to the lyrics of the 1994 song [[Wikipedia:Tootsie Roll (song)|"Tootsie Roll"]] by the band 69 Boyz.
*The exhaust pipes coming out of Head Bad could be referred to as a "[[Wikipedia:Manifold (automotive engineering)|header]]" in automotive engineering parlance.
*The "We're Onto You" poster could be a reference to the similar propaganda "Big Brother Is Watching You" from the book ''[[Wikipedia:Nineteen Eighty-Four|Nineteen Eighty-Four]]''.
**The "We're Onto You" poster may also be a reference to the video game [[Wikipedia:Beyond Good & Evil (video game)|Beyond Good & Evil]], because one of the common sights in said game is a poster that says "Support the Government. We're here to protect you."
*Bubs's repetition of the phrase "twicely fresh" is reminiscent of the Sesame Street character and host of Mysterious Theater Vincent Twice's repetition of his own name.
*"Regenerator 4" is possibly a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Re-Animator|Re-Animator]] series of horror films.
*"With Special Make-up Effects by TOLD SALLIAVERi" could be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Tom Savini|Tom Savini]], well-known special effects make-up man in many low-budget (as well as hit) movies, such as [[Wikipedia:Day of the Dead|Day of the Dead]] and the [[Wikipedia:Friday the 13th (series)|Friday the 13th]] series.
*Strong Bad's deserted island drink could be a [[Wikipedia:Tequila Sunrise (cocktail)|Tequila Sunrise]], judging by the scene's tropical theme and the drink's gradual color blend from yellow to dark orange.






===Fast Forward===
*The floppy disk reading "below the root" also appears in [[keep cool]].
*The Municipality is later referenced in [[more armies]].
*Strong Bad does the same dance moves at Club Technochocolate in [[nightlife]].
**The extended version of the music heard at Club Technochocolate would be heard in the aforementioned email.

'''MATT:''' No. Hop on in.

'''MIKE:''' But I'm just gonna, uh, keep talking here. Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Wait, you don't ''really'' have anything to say.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' No, I was just trying to break the silence.

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' Look, come on, we're going now.

'''MATT:''' Look, there's the Pooper Trooper.

'''MIKE:''' Is that his name?

'''MATT:''' I don't know, that's what I call him sometimes.

'''MIKE:''' I never heard that before. You should... you should ''tell'' me these things.

'''MATT:''' There's the logo for the Municipality. The oppressive King of Tow{{--}} ''{Mike laughs}'' The King of Town's oppressive other, uh... other ego, as I{{--}} as I call him.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' No.

'''MATT:''' Is that physical humor?

'''MIKE:''' No.

'''MATT:''' A spit take! That's a spit take!

''{short pause, Strong Bad's head is lounging on an island}''

'''MIKE:''' That's a nice scene right there.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, I want that cocktail.

'''MIKE:''' I want that sunbeam on my face. ''{cut to Strong Bad's body dancing in Club Technochocolate}'' Oh, look at that.

''{laughter}''

'''MATT:''' Ooo.

'''MIKE:''' This is a nice club... club technochocolate song.

'''MATT:''' I like how{{--}}

'''MIKE:''' We should use this more often.

'''MATT:''' {{--}}Strong Bad always, uh, pronounces club "cloughb".

'''MIKE:''' Uh-huh.

'''MATT:''' ''{Strong Bad's head is rolling in the field, Matt makes a sound effect noise}'' This reminds me of that Easter eggs thing that I made a long time ago for Easter.

'''MIKE:''' I remember.

'''MATT:''' Where all the characters were eggs, rolling around.

'''MIKE:''' I remember that.

'''MATT:''' ''{Strong Bad's head begins hovering}'' Listen to that noise. ''{pause, then makes noise}''

'''MIKE:''' Did you make that with your mouth? Is that{{--}}

'''MATT:''' It was probably you.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

''{pause}''

'''MIKE:''' What do you think that is?

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}''

'''MATT:''' He can talk and still go ''bub-bub-bub-bub-bub-bub-bub-bub''.

'''MIKE:''' And there was some smoke coming up from, like skidding, but he was floating in air.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' There's no friction. ''{pause}'' Head Bad and Strong Body.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' What is this{{--}}

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' He took his advice!

'''MATT:''' Oh, Bunmaker.

'''MIKE:''' He's Homestar Bunmaker.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' ''{rhythmically}'' Let me hear that dinner roll!

'''MIKE:''' Homestar's got a thing with bread, right?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, totally. ''{pause until both parts have regenerated}'' Ugh.

''{pause until Head Bad laughs slightly while talking to Strong Body; Mike laughs during this pause}''

'''MIKE:''' That was ''you'' laughing there, Matt.

'''MATT:''' No!

'''MIKE:''' That wasn't Strong Bad laughing.

'''MATT:''' I kinda laughed...! Uh, I think I'm pretty funny, Mike. ''{laughing}''

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' Yeah? ''{plainly}'' Yeah. ''{pause}'' Um, so what's the Tom Saliaveri, I think is the name? That we{{--}}

'''MATT:''' Oh, the, uh, director of the horror films?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, the special effects artist or something.

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' Oh, that's, yeah...

'''MIKE:''' And it's like, ve{{--}} I just{{--}} ''{The Paper comes down}'' ''{softly}'' Oh, is that the end?

===Fun Facts===
*Matt's mention of the "Easter eggs thing that [he] made a long time ago for Easter" refers to the unfinished toon, [[Eggs (toon)|Eggs]], which was going to be made for Easter in 2001, but was never completed. It was finally released unfinished in 2007.

==Transcript==
''{We open on Homestar against the night sky, stars and the moon visible in the background. Ominous music plays.}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Each Halloween, severals of people become mildly annoyed, when Homestar Runner misinterprets their costume.

''{Record scratch, ominous music stops.}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' So I made a game show out of it!

''{Zoom out to see Homestar standing on an orange floor, the night sky lifts up to reveal The Show background. The Show's theme music plays.}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' ''{to the tune of the The Show theme}'' Boo doo-doo! Boo-doo doo!

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{voice-over}'' That's right, paunchy America! It's time to play...

''{The show's title appears on screen in time with the crowd.}''

'''CROWD:''' ''{voice-over}'' Name! Slash! Guess! That! Homestar! Runner! Hallo! Ween! Costume! Misin! Terpre! Tation!

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{voice-over}'' And here's the star of Name/Guess That ''{mumbles}'' thing and the stuff: Homestar Runner!

''{The show's title falls off-screen, and Homestar walks onstage in costume.}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Thanks so much, Ron Johnny! It's a pleasure and enjoy-joy to be doing this again for the first year in a row.

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{voice-over}'' Let's get you locked in the isolation booth, dum-dum.

''{Homestar enters a small cylindrical chamber and shuts the door.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{voice-over}'' and bring our our first contestant: Coach Z!

''{Cut to a window panel, which opens to reveal Coach Z dancing on a pedestal in costume.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{voice-over}'' OK now, Coach Z, the rules are simple. Just tell us what you think Homestar Runner's misinterpretation of your costume will be.

''{Coach Z nods, and a lower third pops up reading "Coach Z as a Beastie Boy from the Intergalactic video".}''

'''COACH Z:''' Well, I think there's a lot of good options, but I gotta go with, "Hey, Coach Z, I really like your Devo crossing guard costume!" He was always telling me to go froward, move ahead!

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{voice-over}'' A solid guess!

''{A pop-up appears of a cinderblock, with a wig and googly eyes, and the text "Solid Guess!"}''

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{voice-over}'' Let's go to the iso booth and see what Homestar chose.

''{Cut back to the isolation booth. Homestar turns around to look at Coach Z. Drumroll.}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Hey, Coach Z, I really like your Devo construction worker costume!

''{Homestar holds up a card reading "Devo construction worker". Sad gameshow music plays.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{voice-over}'' Oooh, so close, Coach Z, but I'm afraid we can't accept it.

'''COACH Z:''' ''{sadly}'' Ohh...

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{voice-over}'' Thanks for playing!

''{Cut to a shot of a bottle of water, surrounded by a strip of lights. The bottle is labelled "Smarty Water" and has two green smudges on it.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voice-over}'' Coach Z will receive: that bottle of water that's over there. It has some green stuff on it, but it might be on the outside of the bottle, I'm not sure. That bottle of water, that's over there.

''{Cut back to the stage, and Homestar's booth.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{voice-over}'' Continuing on, Homestar, how you feeling in there?

''{Homestar jiggles, making the sound of shaking an empty soda cup with ice in the bottom.}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Rumpled on the inside!

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{voice-over}'' Let's ignore that, and meet our next contestant: The King of Town!

''{Cut to another section of the stage, with a trapdoor in the floor, which opens, and the King of Town appears up through it, in costume.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{voice-over}'' Alright King, let's hear your guess.

''{A lower third reads "King of Town as Immortan Joe".}''

'''KING OF TOWN:''' "Hey, King, I really like your what-you-look-like-when-you-first-wake-up-still-wearing-your-CPAP-machine costume!"

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{voice-over}'' A real zinger! I could see that one!

''{A pop-up appears of a pair of glasses, with a wig and cartoon eyes and mouth, with the text "I could see that one!"}''

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{voice-over}'' Homestar?

'''HOMESTAR:''' Hey, King of Town, I really cotton to your Mötley Crüe in the ICÜ costume.

''{Homestar holds up a card reading "Mötley Crüe in the ICÜ". A buzzer sounds.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{voice-over}'' Ooh, way off with that one, KOT. Back in the pit.

''{The trapdoor opens, and the King of Town falls back below the stage. Cut to a set of three doors, with a sign reading "Doors 3". Three doors are labelled "1rd", "2ce" and "3th". Zoom in to the "2ce" door.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{voice-over}'' And now, behind door number twice, it's Bubs!

''{The door opens, revealing Bubs, in costume.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{voice-over}'' Time for you to guess Homestar's misinterpretation of your costume, without going over.

''{The lower third reads "Bubs as Jack Flack".}''

'''BUBS:''' Let's see... I think he'd say, "Say, Bubs, say, Bubs, I really like your French GI-Joe costume! What was that character's name again? Jaunty Plumarenne? He came with a baguette bazooka!"

''{A Cheap As Free Toys action figure is shown based on Bubs's costume, named as "Jaunty Plumarenne", with other labels reading "Action-like figurine", "Baguette Bazooka" and "Bulletproof Beret".}''

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{voice-over}'' I'm sorry, we're going to need your answer in the form of a dollar amount.

'''BUBS:''' Uh.... seventeen-fifty?

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{voice-over}'' Homestar, let's see it!

''{Cut back to Homestar, who is thinking hard and writing on his card. He turns the card around to show "$17.50". A bell rings.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{voice-over}'' That's correct!

'''HOMESTAR:''' Hooray!

''{Homestar tears up the card and throws it as confetti.}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' So I made a game show out of it!

''{Zoom out to see Homestar standing on an orange floor, the night sky lifts up to reveal The Show background. The Show's theme music plays.}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' ''{to the tune of the The Show theme}'' Boo doo-doo! Boo-doo doo!

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{voice-over}'' That's right, paunchy America! It's time to play...

''{The show's title appears on screen in time with the crowd.}''

'''CROWD:''' ''{voice-over}'' Name! Slash! Guess! That! Homestar! Runner! Hallo! Ween! Costume! Misin! Terpre! Tation!

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{voice-over}'' And here's the star of Name/Guess That ''{mumbles}'' thing and the stuff: Homestar Runner!

''{The show's title falls off-screen, and Homestar walks onstage in costume.}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Thanks so much, Ron Johnny! It's a pleasure and enjoy-joy to be doing this again for the first year in a row.

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{voice-over}'' Let's get you locked in the isolation booth, dum-dum.

''{Homestar enters a small cylindrical chamber and shuts the door.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{voice-over}'' and bring our our first contestant: Coach Z!

''{Cut to a window panel, which opens to reveal Coach Z dancing on a pedestal in costume.}

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{voice-over}'' OK now, Coach Z, the rules are simple. Just tell us what you think Homestar Runner's misinterpretation of your costume will be.

''{Coach Z nods, and a lower third pops up reading "Coach Z as a Beastie Boy from the Intergalactic video".}''

'''COACH Z:''' Well, I think there's a lot of good options, but I gotta go with, "Hey, Coach Z, I really like your Devo crossing guard costume!" He was always telling me to go froward, move ahead!

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{voice-over}'' A solid guess!

''{A pop-up appears of a cinderblock, with a wig and googly eyes, and the text "Solid Guess!"}''

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{voice-over}'' Let's go to the iso booth and see what Homestar chose.

''{Cut back to the isolation booth. Homestar turns around to look at Coach Z. Drumroll.}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Hey, Coach Z, I really like your Devo construction worker costume!

''{Homestar holds up a card reading "Devo construction worker". Sad gameshow music plays.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{voice-over}'' Oooh, so close, Coach Z, but I'm afraid we can't accept it.

'''COACH Z:''' ''{sadly}'' Ohh...

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{voice-over}'' Thanks for playing!

''{Cut to a shot of a bottle of water, surrounded by a strip of lights. The bottle is labelled "Smarty Water" and has two green smudges on it.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voice-over}'' Coach Z will receive: that bottle of water that's over there. It has some green stuff on it, but it might be on the outside of the bottle, I'm not sure. That bottle of water, that's over there.

''{Cut back to the stage, and Homestar's booth.}

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{voice-over}'' Continuing on, Homestar, how you feeling in there?

''{Homestar jiggles, making the sound of shaking an empty soda cup with ice in the bottom.}

'''HOMESTAR:''' Rumpled on the inside!

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{voice-over}'' Let's ignore that, and meet our next contestant: The King of Town!

''{Cut to another section of the stage, with a trapdoor in the floor, which opens, and the King of Town appears up through it, in costume.}

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{voice-over}'' Alright King, let's hear your guess.

''{A lower third reads "King of Town as Immortan Joe".}

'''KING OF TOWN:''' "Hey, King, I really like your what-you-look-like-when-you-first-wake-up-still-wearing-your-CPAP-machine costume!"

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{voice-over}'' A real zinger! I could see that one!

''{A pop-up appears of a pair of glasses, with a wig and cartoon eyes and mouth, with the text "I could see that one!"}''

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{voice-over}'' Homestar?

'''HOMESTAR:''' Hey, King of Town, I really cotton to your Mötley Crüe in the ICÜ costume.

''{Homestar holds up a card reading "Mötley Crüe in the ICÜ". A buzzer sounds.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{voice-over}'' Ooh, way off with that one, KOT. Back in the pit.

''{The trapdoor opens, and the King of Town falls back below the stage. Cut to a set of three doors, with a sign reading "Doors 3". Three doors are labelled "1rd", "2ce" and "3th". Zoom in to the "2ce" door.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{voice-over}'' And now, behind door number twice, it's Bubs!

''{The door opens, revealing Bubs, in costume.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{voice-over}'' Time for you to guess Homestar's misinterpretation of your costume, without going over.

''{The lower third reads "Bubs as Jack Flack".}''

'''BUBS:''' Let's see... I think he'd say, "Say, Bubs, say, Bubs, I really like your French GI-Joe costume! What was that character's name again? Jaunty Plumarenne? He came with a baguette bazooka!"

''{A Cheap As Free Toys action figure is shown based on Bubs's costume, named as "Jaunty Plumarenne", with other labels reading "Action-like figurine", "Baguette Bazooka" and "Bulletproof Beret".}''

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{voice-over}'' I'm sorry, we're going to need your answer in the form of a dollar amount.

'''BUBS:''' Uh.... seventeen-fifty?

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{voice-over}'' Homestar, let's see it!

''{Cut back to Homestar, who is thinking hard and writing on his card. He turns the card around to show "$17.50". A bell rings.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{voice-over}'' That's correct!

'''HOMESTAR:''' Hooray!

''{Homestar tears up the card and throws it as confetti.}''

== #hrwiki-fanstuff-rc ==

Hi. Is it possible at all to create a fanstuff recent change IRC channel? I know it would certainly not be as active as this here RC, but it would still be quite helpful. Please? --TheDenzel (not logged in)
:It would be theoretically possible, but I don't think there's any plans for it at the moment... it's been quite a while since the RC channel for this wiki was set up, I've forgotten most of it... I'd have to figure out most of how I did it from scratch again... and I've got other things to do that are more important. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 14:34, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

== Homestar video player? ==

Hi there Phlip, I was wondering if you still had that Greasemonkey version of the homestarrunner.com video player thingy that enabled it to play/pause and fast forward and such. I downloaded it a while ago and loved it, but I accidentally uninstalled Greasemonkey (Long story) and it's been lost. Can I get a link for the script or whatever it's called? Thanks! {{User:GuardDuck/sig}} 07:37, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

== Hey! ==

Hey! You live in Australia? That's so cool! I wanna live there! I have a question: does it snow there?
Shmank you! [[User:Stark Traurig|Stark Traurig]] 18:59, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
:In order: Hi! Yep. Not really, it's the middle of summer right now, and it's seriously hot. Yes, you do. Depends where you are... most of the country's pretty snow-free, but the [[Wikipedia:Great Dividing Range|mountains]] tend to get a some snow... Where I grew up in the mountains, it would snow a little each year, but rarely settled... just melted when it hit the ground. I know there are some places in the southern mountains that consistently get snow every year. I think Tasmania gets snowy too... I haven't really been down there in the winter. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 02:18, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
::Hehe, yeah. We're in the middle of winter right now. I shoveled snow for like 2 hours the other day. I was just lucky it was the light, fluffy kind and not the wet, heavy stuff. [[User:Stark Traurig|Stark Traurig]] 21:13, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

== Deleted Theme Song Video subtitles ==

Hey man, I was watching HR today and noticed there are no subtitles for [http://www.homestarrunner.com/video.html| http://www.homestarrunner.com/video.html]. I considered creating them and then noticed you deleted the original page with the entry:

05:32, 19 August 2008 Phlip (Talk | contribs) deleted "Subtitles:video/en" ‎ (nonsense)

Is there a reason for this page to not exist? I would think the theme song should have subtitles too...
Thanks -[[User:Dutchscout|Dutchscout]] 08:57, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
:I've already mentioned why there aren't subtitles at [[Subtitles talk:video/en]]... As for that deletion, it's because some anonny made the page with gibberish. There was never any actual subtitles on that page. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 09:00, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

== HELP! ==
I tried to set up a new email account but I ended up needing a password which I don't know. And that was after I changed my email on the forum. Since I can't check my email, I can't reactivate my account, so I can't access the forum. Could you work your sysop magic and activate my account for me? {{User:Coach z's cool/sig}} 18:55, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

== Homestar Persona ==
This is sort of a strange question, but you seem to be the techie here. You know that new add-on for Firefox called Personas? I think it would be cool to have a Homestar Persona on there. So if you ever have any free time too work on it, Firefox would be even cooler. I'd make it myself, but as you know, I'm no techie. Later! {{User:Coach z's cool/sig}} 17:39, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

== DS Homebrew ==

Hey, fellow Aussie! I was wondering, with the Homebrew Games, did you get the flash file and just change the extention to .nds or something, or did youu have to put it through a program? This is because I want to know if it is possible to change a .wad version of [[Homestar Ruiner]] into one that can be played on the DS, preferably as a .nds file. I tired just changing the extention, but that just gives me a white screen. If you could respond, that would be great. {{User:Open Source Greg/sig}} 08:40, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
:Neither. Converting those games to the DS wasn't some simple process... I had to rebuild the game from scratch. I did decompile the originals to get at the sprites and the code... but in both cases that's only so I could use them as a reference when re-creating it. (The sounds I could decompile and pull across directly... the music in pop_tire I had to recreate, though, otherwise it would've been too big.) Converting any of the SBCG4AP games is probably impossible... even if you did manage to port them, the DS probably isn't powerful enough to run them (the advantage of the Videlectrix games is that they are, by design, simple enough to run on the lower-power hardware... since that's what they're imitating). But if you want to give it a try, go ahead... the toolchain can be downloaded [http://www.devkitpro.org/ here]... that's designed for C, and works fine in C++ (which is what I used to make my two games)... but you should be able to use any language GCC can compile. [http://nocash.emubase.de/gbatek.htm This] is also a very useful page... once you understand all of that, writing DS games is pretty straightforward. Feel free to ask me if you want a hand with any of the specifics. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 09:11, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
::Wow, thanks a bunch. I think I might try first off with recreating RhinoFeeder for DS, to make sure I can do it. Do I just need the flash file, and run it through that? Also, is it possible for a 15 year old with no computer programming experience at all to do this? Just wondering...{{User:Open Source Greg/sig}} 09:33, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
:::In short? No and no. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 09:41, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
::::Well, I'm going to try anyway. I hope I can do it. If not, I'll leave it to the professionals. But, it can't help to try. Also, about how long do you spend trying to make a ds game from the Videlectrix game? I want to know how much effort I'm up against. {{User:Open Source Greg/sig}} 10:14, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
:::::It was a while ago, so I don't remember the exact timeframes... but from experienced programmer who'd never written for the DS to finished was probably about a month or so. Much of which was spent learning how the DS worked... the actual game itself was maybe a week or two (but I got lucky, the pop_tire Flash file decompiled really cleanly, so it was a really good reference to work from... also, I didn't have a job at the time, so I was working pretty much full-time on the game). But that was mostly thanks to the fact that I already knew C inside out, and had worked on embedded systems before (so I already knew what, say, a memory-mapped register is... which is handy, since the DS is full of them). If I had to learn all of that from scratch, it would've taken much longer. And for someone who hasn't done any programming before... I'd very much not recommend the DS as a starting platform. If you really want to learn how to program, I'd suggest Python (on a full computer, not a games console) to start with... much easier to learn. Once you get good at programming in general, then learn C, and how stuff works on the low level. And when you get good at ''that'', ''then'' consider switching to an embedded platform, like the DS (or whatever new handheld is out by then). Really, it'll make it much easier in the long run. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 12:18, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
::::::Yeah, I gave up. I don't have a clue how to do this. I'll leave it to you. Speaking of which, why don't you try and do another one? I have Pop:Tire and Secret Collect on my CycloDS, but another one would be awexome. Sorry if I seem pushy or used up your time with this FAIL! Oh, and my cousin is a computer programmer (he is making a game for EA along with his friend at the moment), but I doubt he could help me... {{User:Open Source Greg/sig}} 12:37, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
:::::::Yeah, I don't really have the time to start a new major project any time soon... being a full-time professional programmer means I do a lot less just coding for fun... rather spend my time away from work doing [[not]] exactly the same thing as at work, y'know? I do want to remake some more Videlectrix games at some point (people are always asking for Stinkoman 20X6) but don't hold your breath (unless your able to hold your breath for several years, in which case ''do'' hold it, and impress people). {{User:Phlip/sig}} 12:57, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
::::::::Yeah. Stinkoman would be too gard, though. You have to be able to use the several different buttons at the same time, and even the invisable ones. Thanks neway, and i will hold my breath...for several years...and probably die.

hey man, how do i make a new page very quick for a new toon? (like next week) {{unsigned|Deesejaiman|13:32, 1 June 2009 (UTC)}}
:Easiest way I know of is to just copy the page of an earlier toon, and remove all the stuff... leaving basically just the headers and the formatting templates. I know there was a [[:Template:newsbemail|template]] to quickly set up pages for SBEmails, but I don't think there is a similar template for the other toon types. Maybe we should have one. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 14:26, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

"Error in XML: error on line 231 at column 14: Opening and ending tag mismatch: line line 0 and transcript"
:Catjaz63: While I cannot help you with the issue itself, I am pretty sure that Phlip would ask for more information about your issue, such as: what page/toon were you on? what tool were you using? (the greasemonkey script or the old php subtitles tool -- the latter is no longer maintained) and what browser and version you are using. Good luck! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 23:50, 29 April 2015 (UTC)
::I'm using Google Chrome and the Homestar-all-in-one. The page I'm on is [[I Killed Pom Pom]] and I'm using my own subtitles, which can be found [http://pastebin.com/uL5yd3JP here]. - {{User:Catjaz63/sig}} 00:03, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
:::Ah! I see! That makes a lot more sense now. And looking again at the error message I would suggest that you carefully look through your transcript XML and make sure that all your XML tags are matched (so each <code><nowiki><line></nowiki></code> tag has a matching <code><nowiki></line></nowiki></code> tag, and same for tags like sfx, strongbad, etc.) Unlike HTML, XML is very unforgiving. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 00:56, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

== Hey there Philp! ==

I added a link to your DS Version of Population: Tire to the page for, well, Population: Tire! (in the external links section, of course)
Also, the DS version of pop: tire CAN work using DS Download Play, since there's no DLDI crap going on there. Only side effect is that the Cold One's and those darn birds look all glitched up. -Crapfully, [[User:JeffyTheWikiMan|JeffyTheWikiMan]] 12:49, 20 August 2019 (UTC)

Edit: Holy Craaap! you made a DS Version of Secret Collect, Too?! Man. You are just AMAZING.
:Thanks for the thought, but we try to keep the main section of the wiki to official H*R stuff, and not fan-created works. It's just simpler that way. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 12:55, 20 August 2019 (UTC)

'''Population: Tire''' is a game by [[Videlectrix]] that takes place in [[Strong Badia]] in which you use your mouse cursor to keep the [[Tire]] bouncing in the air as long as possible. Increase your score multiplier by hitting birds, balloons, {{Film|The Cheat}} and {{Film|Strong Sad}}, and beware of wind changes and flying [[Cold One]]s!

__FORCETOC__
== Premise ==

<blockquote style="font-family: monospace; padding:8px; border: 1px solid #000; width:25em">
IN THE YEAR 19xx, THE CITIZENS OF 
STRONGBADIA ARE TERRORIZED BY A 
FACELESS FOE. AS A TOP SECRET CRACK 
COMMANDO OPERATIVE, IT IS YOU JOB TO 
PROTECT THE LAST REMAINING CITIZEN FROM 
TOUCHING THE TAINTED SOIL. YOU ARE 
SOLDIER! 
 
SCORE POINTS BY BOUNCING TIRE WITH 
MOUSE. HIT INFIDELS TO INCREASE THE 
VALUE OF EACH BOUNCE. STRING COMBOS TO 
PREVENT THE VALUE FROM DROPPING OVER 
TIME. 
 
YOU ONE ARE OF BRAVE FEW. ACCEPT YOUR 
MISSION AND STEP FOURTH. 
AND REMEMBER; NEVER, EVER BREAK A COLD 
ONE.
</blockquote>

Note: In the [[Viidelectrix]] version of the game, "MOUSE" has changed to "TIP OF POINTY FINGER THINGY", a reference to using the [[Wikipedia:Wii Remote|Wii Remote]].

== Scoring Chart ==
The main objective of this game is to keep the Tire in the air as long as possible. You earn one point times your Multiplier for each bounce, and your score resets to 0 when the Tire hits the ground. The Multiplier appears when it is 2x or higher — otherwise, it is always 1x and never falls below this value. The Multiplier decreases by 1x every 5 seconds if you don't hit any objects.

You can increase your Multiplier by hitting various objects:

*Balloon: +1x
*Bird: +2x
*The Cheat: +1x
*Cold One: -5x

The Cheat can be hit repeatedly, but each time you hit him, he reverses direction and starts walking faster.

== Strong Sad Effects ==

Strong Sad occasionally appears from [[behind the fence]]. Hitting him will award the effect indicated in his thought balloon:

*2X: Your multiplier is increased by 2.
*-2X: Your multiplier is decreased by 2.
*BIG: The Tire increases in size.
*FLY: The Tire falls more slowly.
*SAD: Your multiplier is reduced to 1. ''(The word in the thought balloon changes to '''x0''', but you can still score 1 point per bounce.)''

When you get FLY or BIG, the sound is different when you hit the tire.

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===

*The [[Deliberately Poor English|bad grammar]] in the introduction is a reference to the language found in old video games that were poorly translated from Japanese to English.
*The tire could not be hitting any of the bonus entities except The Cheat; the tire's shadow is in a separate plane from the bird, balloon, and Strong Sad.

===Trivia===
*When the Tire hits the ground, your Multiplier resets to 1x, and the effect you receive depends on your score:
** '''0-2:''' Nothing.
** '''3-99:''' A sad-sounding sound effect.
** '''100-499:''' A quick, energetic sound effect.
** '''500-999:''' A more complicated sound effect, and a plane flies by towing a random message.
** '''1000+:''' A dramatic tune plays, and a plane flies by towing a random message.
*The possible messages you can see behind the plane are:
**YOU RULE
**PURE FUN
**GIVE IT UP
**FHI-FIVE
**POP:YOU
**ROCK/ROLL
**GOOD ONE
**TIRE-TASTIC!
**JAM ON IT
**LET GO
**PARTY.WOO!
**PARDON ME?
**X-L-NT
**[[X it out|GROW IT OUT]]
**PARENTAL!!
**GOSH!
**LOVIN' IT
**SPANKIN'!
**YOU 4 EVA
**YOU.COM
**YOU.CALM
**WISHIWASU
**WHO'S THAT?
**THE BOUNCA!
*The background reacts to the computer system time, similar to how the alarm clock reacts in [[12:00]]. For example, if you play this game at 2 in the morning, you will see a night sky. It alternates within 24 hours, starting with midnight:
**Dark Blue (Beginning)
**Dark Indigo
**Dark Brown
**Orange
**Bright Cyan Blue
**Bright Blue
**Dark Brown
**Orange
**Dark Indigo
**Dark Blue (End)
*This is the first Videlectrix game to have the [[Videlectrix Mascot]] appear.
*In the game [[Awexome Cross]], The Cheat can fit inside the tire and roll along in it. In this game, however, The Cheat appears too large to be able to fit in the tire.
*Cold Ones start appearing when you reach a x5 multiplier, and become more frequent when you reach x10.

===Glitches===
*If you disable play, the multiplier will be frozen. You will not be able to hit any other objects or obstacles, and no new objects or obstacles will appear.
**The tire will still be able to bounce, and you will still be able to score points.

===Inside References===
* The bird in this game also flies across the screen in [[take-a-break.exe]], which appeared in [[huttah!]].
** The same bird is also seen flying over [[Bubs]]'s [[Baloney Sammich Truck]] in [[Weclome Back]].
*The title screen is of the second-to-last shot in [[flag day]].

===Real-World References===
*This game's loading screen is a spoof of the [[Wikipedia:Commodore 64|Commodore 64]] boot screen:

<blockquote class="email" style="background-image:none;border:4px solid #87cefa;background:#0000cd;color:#87cefa">*** COMPYDORE 64 BASIC V2 *** 
64K RAM SYSTEM 38911 BASIC BYTES FREE 
READY. 
LOAD "*",8,1 
SEARCHING FOR * 
 
READY. 
RUN</blockquote>

:*The loading screen used to read "9,1", but was later changed to read "8,1". In the C-64, "9,1" told the computer to access the second floppy drive, if one was connected. The ",1" meant the program had a machine code component (for the technically-minded, it indicated that the loaded program shouldn't be relocated in memory).
:*This game plays in stereo, even though the C-64 was not capable of stereo sound.
:*In the [[Viidelectrix]] version of this game, the word "Compydore" on the loading screen was changed to "Compiidore" to refer to the [[Wikipedia:Wii|Nintendo Wii]].
[[Image:mgearsleepy-feelasleep.gif|thumb|250px|I FEEL ASLEEP!!]]
* The page title "I FEEL ASLEEP!" quotes the game ''[[Wikipedia:Metal Gear (video game)|Metal Gear]]'' for the [[Nintendo#Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)|NES]].
** There is a C-64 version of Metal Gear, based on the NES version, but it appears to lack this quote. The Japanese version also lacks this scene.
* The seagull graphic and several of the sound effects are taken from the game ''[[Wikipedia:California Games|California Games]]'' (1988).
* Other sound effects (including hitting The Cheat and breaking a Cold One) are taken from the game ''[[Wikipedia:Wizball|Wizball]]'', a surrealistic shooter game for the C-64.
* Hitting a balloon makes the same sound as running through an explosion in the C-64 game "Paradroid".
* When the tire drops and you have 3-99 score, the sound effect played is from the C64 game "Park Patrol."
* The title screen [[Wikipedia:MIDI|MIDI music]] uses square waves from the [[Wikipedia:General MIDI|General MIDI]] specification.

===Fast Forward===
*In [[8-Bit is Enough]], [[Strong Bad]] says "Load PQuest,8,1" when entering [[Peasantry]].
*A DS homebrew version of this game created by [[User:Phlip|Phlip]] was [[Weekly Fanstuff 2007#WF-2007-05-24|featured]] as a [[Weekly Fanstuff]] in 2007.

Phlip: /* Release notes */ 4.1

==Troubleshooting==
If the script doesn't seem to be working for you, please try:
#If you have Adblock, Flashblock, or similar addons installed, disable them on homestarrunner.com.
#Reinstalling the script, by clicking [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User:Phlip/Greasemonkey&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&fakeextension=.user.js this link].
#Uninstalling Greasemonkey (from the Tools menu in Firefox, choose Add-ons, then go to the Extensions section, click Greasemonkey, then Uninstall), and then reinstall it (from [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748 here]). You'll probably need to [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User:Phlip/Greasemonkey&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&fakeextension=.user.js install the script] again.
If you're still having problems after that, ''then'' ask for help on this page. Be sure to mention what versions of Firefox and Flash you have, and what other extensions you have installed. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 03:26, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

==Release notes==
===Version 1.0 (8 Mar, 2006)===
*First released version.
*Had the fullscreen, seek bar, prev/next and wiki link features.
*Worked only on the main site.
===Version 2.0 (26 May, 2006)===
*Added the preferences menu.
*Added support for Videlectrix and the HRWiki mirror.
*Added "outside the frame", April Fools and plain HTML navbar options.
===Version 2.1 (8 Aug, 2006)===
*Tooltips in the preferences box.
*The "more better" rando link is now always on... the less better version was just ugly, so I removed it.
*You can set what types of toon are included in the rando selection.
*You have the option to make it check if the next sbemail/whatever actually exists before putting the "next" link (so there's no "next" link on the latest email).
**The only reason this wasn't there before is that it means an extra hit to the H*R servers... but now that I have the preferences things set up, so you can turn it on or off, I think that's fine.
===Version 3.0 (29 Aug, 2006)===
*Added [[HRWiki:Subtitles|subtitling]] functionality.
*Updating no longer requires uninstalling the previous version.
===Version 3.1 (27 Sep, 2006)===
*Whether to show the names next to subtitles is now a distinct setting from the one for colours - you can have neither, either or both.
*There is a button that will purge the local cache for all subtitles-related files downloaded from the wiki and reload the page, for when the cache is out of date.
*The ability to update the test subtitles without refreshing the page for every change (NB: disabled by default, see [[#Refresh Subtitles|below]]).
*Rewind and fast forward buttons on the seek bar to go to the first/last frame, respectively.
*Flash loading progress bar on the seek bar (see how much it's loaded).
===Version 3.2 (25 Sep, 2007)===
*Add option to automatically check for script updates (on by default).
===Version 4.0 (8 Oct, 2014)===
Complete ground-up rewrite of the script! Featuring:
* Chrome support! Install the extension from the [https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/homestar-all-in-one/ekecfcebbojjfaiendgjgcadampmppdb Chrome Web Store]!
** Note: Due to limitations in how the settings storage has been written for Chrome, any settings you enter will not transfer between sites... so if you, say, turn on Subtitles while watching a toon on www.homestarrunner.com, and then go to a toon on the HRWiki mirror, your settings won't transfer across, and you'll have to enable Subtitles again for the new site.
* Turning settings on and off no longer causes the page to refresh.
* More modular codebase, making the code easier to navigate and maintain.
** The script is now built from a number of smaller files, accessible at [https://github.com/mrphlip/allinone GitHub].
* Cleaned up some bugs and bitrot from the last version of the script being 7 years old... browsers have changed a lot since then, and the script has been tweaked to match.
===Version 4.1 (2 Oct, 2017)===
* Rewrote Flash-interaction handling to work in newer versions of Chrome.
* Added wikilink override for [[Screenland - 24 Apr 2017]]

==Suggestion==
Would it make sense to change line 272 to
<pre> addHRWikiLink("Index_Page");</pre>
Then I suppose line 261 could be removed. By the way, ''amazing'' work Phlip. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 17:25, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

==Homestar-Fullon Edit==
Using the user script I was getting a scrollbar on every page, so I edited line 411 from
<pre>var dh = window.innerHeight - 10;</pre>
to
<pre>var dh = window.innerHeight - 20;</pre>
This kept all the content in the window, but I didn't have to scroll down to see the navbar at the bottom. Did this happen to anyone else? [[User:Consonance|Consonance]] 08:39, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
:Not me. Works perfectly for me. --{{User:X-Spider2/X-Sigger2}} 03:04, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

==Eventual to-do list==
(in no particular order)
*{{done}} General cleanup of the code.
*{{done}} Work on Videlectrix.
*{{done}} Work on the mirrors (<s>[http://homestarrunner.kitkorp.com/ kitkorp]</s> ''(not needed with Tom working on completing the HRWiki mirror)'' and [[Mirror:|HRWiki]]).
*{{done}} Some way of turning various features on and off maybe?
**{{done}} Only if I get this working, replace the flash files with [[April Fools 2006|theyCallHimFlipper.swf]].
*{{done}} replace the navbar with text links (this is more for me than for you guys).
*{{done}} resize the seek bar when the toon resizes (if you resize the window)
*{{done}} show outside-the-frame stuff
Feel free to add suggestions. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 21:38, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

:I've got one. You could try "flipping the ''whole page'' upside down". You know, using the [http://www.homestarrunner.com/theyCallHimFlipperMainNav.swf?contentURL=main_nav.swf flipped navbar], too. And putting the navbar above the flipped toon/game. 
:Also, you could try adding A-B repeat to the seek bar, if you know enough to do that. Preferably make it a seperate sub-option in the prefs, too.

== Errors in installing ==

I keep getting this error: 
Error installing user script: 
 
[Exception... "Compoment returned failure code: 0x804b000a [nsIIOService.newChannel]" nsresult: "0x804b000a (<unknown>)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://strongbademailsprevnext/content/browser.xul :: getContents :: line 20" data: no]

:"strongbademailsprevnext"? I'm guessing you have [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1695/ this extension] installed? You might want to uninstall that... this script does that stuff too. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 08:01, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
::<s>Nope. I only have the script that allows it to be viewed 'full-screen'. {{User:NFITC1/sig}} 22:34, 16 August 2006 (UTC)</s>
::Nevermind. Turns out that they were both conflicting and I was misinterpreting the second error message. Thanks! {{User:NFITC1/sig}} 22:40, 16 August 2006 (UTC) 
Just as a side-note for people who run into the same problem I did: if you use a program that blends its own Javascript functions into every page you load (mainly found in ad-munching software, like Ad Muncher), make sure you disable it BEFORE installing the Greasemonkey script. Otherwise the extra code might break it, requiring you to clear your cache and install it again with the filters disabled. [[User:MNGoldenEagle|MNGoldenEagle]] 14:24, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

== Refresh Subtitles ==
OK, this feature will need some explaining... First, go Tools→Manage User Scripts, click on "Homestar All-in-one" and click "Edit". If it asks you to choose a text editor, just pick Notepad unless you have something better. It'll look ugly in Notepad (it doesn't recognise the line endings) but it'll work. Now search for <code>if (settings.testsubs && false)</code> and change it to <code>if (settings.testsubs && true)</code>. Now you can use the feature. First you have to turn on "Test subtitles" and hit "Save and apply" as usual, but the next time after the page loads there'll be a "Refresh Subtitles" button below the text area, that re-parses the subtitles without reloading the page - invaluable to subtitle authors.

The reasons the option's not avaliable by default are:
*The interface is clumsy... sometimes the button's there, sometimes it's not there... depending on whether the test subtitles were already enabled before the page loaded... given it's something that's supposed to update stuff without a page load it can be confusing.
*It's not exhaustively tested, and has some weird side-effects (it calls <code>savesettings</code>, so if you, say, turn off the seekbar and hit "Reload Subtitles" the seekbar will remain, but it'll save that you want the seekbar turned off)...
*It's not permanent... Version 4.0 will hopefully make it so that ''all'' settings work like this, and clicking "Save and Apply" won't have to reload the page.
So it's there if you want it, but it's not cluttering up the settings boxes of people that don't want it.

Anyways, enjoy! {{User:Phlip/sig}} 03:30, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

== Greasemonkey install method ==
GM's changed the way it installs scripts by link. A single-click on the link will offer to install the script, the option isn't even on the right click menu anymore. --[[User:AndrewNeo|AndrewNeo]] 17:20, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

== Just the seek bar ==

Maybe for use on other sites, you could individually release the code for the seekbar. (And, if possible, include the preferences from the whole script, plus maybe external CSS skin support.) --{{User:Y2K/sig}} 04:00, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

::So It's just me. That's good to know. I poked around in the system, and determined an update to flashblock borked it. I normally don't unblock flash (even for homestarrunner.com).

== Not working in nightly build =( ==

In the nightly build of Firefox (Dubbed Minefield), the script has limited functionality.
The subtitle language selector doesn't work, as there are no options. I will try to clean up to make it work..right.

[[User:Onekopaka|onekopaka]] 02:14, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
:By design, if subtitles are turned off, the script doesn't contact the wiki at all. When you turn the subtitles on, it tries to download the [[Subtitles:Languages|list of supported languages]] then. The list is empty until that finishes (I suppose I should put a "Loading..." message in there...). So wait a bit, see if it turns up. Failing that, it is a nightly build after all, you should expect some things to be broken... the name "Minefield" isn't just for show... chances are, it's a problem with either <code>GM_xmlhttpRequest</code> or <code>DOMParser</code>... and if so, then it's either a Firefox issue or a GreaseMonkey issue, and there's little I can do about it. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 03:15, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

== Just a question... ==

Are you ever going to put this in the [http://dunck.us/collab/GreaseMonkeyUserScriptsSpecific#head-afce957a390e4b53ef2a03b41fd1b4c04a5f926b Greasemonkey Script Repository?] Just wondering... --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 18:54, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
:Actually, that's the old Greasemonkey script place thing. The new one is at [http://www.userscripts.org/ userscripts.org]. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 19:00, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

== not working ==

i installed greasemonkey but there isnt anything under tools. you do mean tools that is above the adress bar, right? {{User:Slipknot6477/sig}} 22:57, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

== Tablet stuff ==

Hey, this is a really neat script. Anyway, I use a tablet computer, and I've noticed that, when viewing a toon in portrait (tall) mode, the toon will cover up the top two buttons ("settings" and "wiki") if the script is set to scale the toon to full size. This is, I imagine, because the script expects the screen to be wider than it is tall, as most computer screens are... so when that is not the case, the toon sticks around the top of the page and covers up those key buttons. This doesn't happen in normal, "landscape" mode because the toon is horizontally centered across a wide screen. If the toon were vertically centered as well, or at least nudged sixteen pixels downward when on a tall screen, those buttons and their inherent usefulness would be unveiled for all. ("Landscape" mode is, of course, the better option for viewing Homestar Runner, but I think this would be a pretty good fix nonetheless.)

There are some other things: in Firefox 3.0 beta 4, the seek bar extends too far to the right, visually (covering up the buttons to its right), and does not seem to work for changing your place in the toon. Also, the script never seems to be able to load subtitles, perpetually leaving "loading" in place of subtitle options in the pulldown menu. Oh, and the "settings" bar has most of its scrollbar obscured by the toon, oddly, though it still works.

I hope this helps in working out any kinks. If nobody else can reproduce these errors, I can provide more details. Anyway, thanks![[User:24.22.64.228|24.22.64.228]] 05:18, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

== 30 Frames fix? ==

For some reason, with the SBCG4AP "ad," the seek bar doesn't work at all. It counts the frame, but all the buttons (besides the zoom) doesn't work. --[[User:76.210.181.251|76.210.181.251]] 21:08, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
:This has nothing to do with the high framerate (which is 24 anyway, not 30), and everything to do with the fact that the HTML file is on homestarrunner.com, but the flash file is on Telltale's servers... Flash's security gets in the way, and there's nothing that can be done about it. Best I can do is make it so that the seekbar is disabled on that toon (or, at least, make it more obvious that it's informative only, and you can't use it to control the playback). Which I'm working on. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 04:53, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

== 3.2.3 broken in FF 2? ==

I can't get the subtitles if I upgrade to 3.2.3. I'm using FF 2. I see that it was changed for tweaks for Firefox 3...did you notice that it breaks it in FF 2? I don't think a version that breaks it in the current version of Firefox should be released to the update. --[[User:Mini-Geek|Mini-Geek]] 16:36, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
:Oops... I didn't think to regression-test the changes in Fx 2... yeah, that doesn't work. The deal is that, in an earlier version of GreaseMonkey, DOMParser wasn't available for GM scripts to use... and you had to use some workaround to get at it. That workaround didn't work in Fx 3, but the site I got it from listed another option that did. Turns out that other option doesn't work in Fx 2. It also turns out that the workaround isn't necessary at all any more. It's gone now, and the script works in both Fx 2 and 3 (it should auto-update again in the next day or so). {{User:Phlip/sig}} 08:55, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
::Thanks, it works now. --[[User:Mini-Geek|Mini-Geek]] 14:26, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

== Trouble dragging in FF3 ==

If you try to drag the seek bar, but are already moving the mouse when you start dragging (move it faster if it doesn't do it for you), it messes up. By messes up, I mean it flashes the cursor between a circular crossout symbol and the normal cursor as you hold it down (still moving the movie as you move), then when you release, it keeps following your mouse until you click on it again. --[[User:Mini-Geek|Mini-Geek]] 20:04, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
:Huh. That's... bizzare. I get a similar thing, but instead of the cursor-flashing thing you're saying, it actually starts dragging around a slightly-shrunk picture of the seekbar, and sometimes some of the surrounding buttons. I'll look into it (which I guess means I'll need to figure out how the drag-and-drop stuff in the seekbar actually works, since I didn't write that... that'll be "fun"). In the meantime: Don't do that. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 08:55, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
::"In the meantime: Don't do that." lol yeah...It's just that I do it accidentally pretty often now, and it's annoying. I'll try to avoid it in the meantime, though. Thanks for looking into it. --[[User:Mini-Geek|Mini-Geek]] 14:27, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
:::OK, this is fixed, I think. I never found a way to reproduce it reliably, but I think I could get it about one try in 3 or 4... and I tried about 20 times now, and I can't get it to happen... let me know if it still happens for you. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 13:38, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

== Plain HTML Rando Not Working in FF3? ==

I am finding if I used the plain HTML navbar with the script, it is not working and I get a dialog box saying "rando.xml has not loaded yet. Be Patient." from homestarrunner.com. Is this an issue with the official site, or did something in FF3 break it?{{User:Bassbone/sig}} 22:20, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
:It works for me, but shows the wrong URL when I roll over it. --[[User:Mini-Geek|Mini-Geek]] 16:52, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
::The wrong-URL thing should be fixed now. Things were happening in the wrong order... the tooltip and the page it would send you to if you clicked matched, but the URL in the status bar was from the previous selection... I tweaked the timing a bit, so this doesn't happen any more. I couldn't reproduce the infinite "has not loaded yet" thing... try clicking the "Clear Subtitles Cache" button in the preferences screen... the same button will clear the rando.xml cache, forcing it to really try again to download it from the server. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 13:38, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

== Subtitles broken ==

I'm on Firefox 3, with Adblock Plus (disabled on h*r.com and hrwiki.org), and the subtitles don't appear. I check "Show subtitles" in the options, and a list of languages appears, but when I go to anything that has subtitles - I tested it on [[Play Date]] - I get a "loading subtitles" message which disappears after a second or so. Other features like the seek bar work fine. Thanks in advance, [[Special:Contributions/24.250.112.127|24.250.112.127]] 23:06, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

:::::I found that disabling AdBlock Plus for homestarrunner sites worked for me. --Rovlad.

I was about to report a problem with this, but I forgot about having to disable Adblock to get the subtitles working, even on the latest build. I'm installing Firefox in Ubuntu, and I though the crappy flash plugin was the problem.

Anyways, you may want to make this advice more prominent, in some sort of FAQ. (If you have already, well, I couldn't find it.)

:It's pretty simple... just convert the picture to PNG (I use The GIMP for that... any web-friendly image format will work, but PNG is best), then [[Wikipedia:Base64|Base64]]-ify the PNG file (I just use the tool in [http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/i386/coreutils coreutils]), and tack "<code>data:image/png;base64,</code>" on the start, then use the string as the URL for the image. Wikipedia has [[Wikipedia:data URI scheme|more info]]. I'm sure there exists some online tools that let you upload files and generate the data: URIs for them... try Google. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 07:22, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

== Seekbar ==

I can't get the seekbar to work. Every time I click anywhere on it it just goes back to the beginning of the toon. I know nothing about code, mind you, so I have no idea how to fix this. {{User:That Guy Over There/sig}} 02:32, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

== Screencapture ==

How do I get a screen capture in Ubuntu Linux? --[[User:O98-111-114-113|Blow Up the Ocean]] 20:50, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

:This may vary (it's been a while since I used Gnome), but I believe that alt-Print Screen grabs the focused window, and Print Screen by itself grabs the entire desktop. It will either prompt you for a filename to save it as, or just save it automatically on your Desktop. It will be in PNG format, which is probably want you want. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 21:02, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

== Test subtitles script and back button ==

I do a lot of subtitle work (the AIO makes it about a million times easier/possible, BTW :) ) and so I often use the "Test subtitles script" feature to preview my scripts before I save 'em. The problem is that I usually forget to uncheck the box, so when I go to another toon, it displays the wrong subtitles. Not a big deal, of course, as I can go into the options and uncheck the box, but it's an annoyance. It'd be nice if it automatically unchecks the box. Possibly make it uncheck when you load a different toon. 
Also, if you have outside-the-frame action enabled and press the back/forward button (in the browser, not the next/previous button) to go to a page, it loads it full-screen instead of showing outside-the-frame action. 
Oh and BTW I just noticed there's a feature to zoom in/out of the toon when it's full screened, but not when it shows outside-the-frame action. Can you add that feature in outside-the-frame mode, too?
--[[User:Mini-Geek|Mini-Geek]][[User_talk:Mini-Geek|t]] [[Special:Contributions/Mini-Geek|c]] 16:22, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
:The "Test subtitles script" option needs some serious rework anyway... I'd like the "Refresh subtitles" button to Just Work, rather than the sort of inconsistent mess it is now. Being able to give test subtitles for just one specific toon is a good idea... I'll add it to the list of things to do when I get around to doing that.
:The back/forward buttons and outside-the-frame: I hadn't noticed that... I'll look into it. Does everything else work with back/forward?
:As for the zoom buttons and outside-the-frame, if you use the Zoom things in Flash, then it stops doing the outside-the-frame thing... you can't zoom out further than how it behaves when you view the SWF alone (ie: either the height or width matches the height or width of your window, whichever is smaller)... and there's no way to go back to the outside-the-frame mode except by resetting it to the usual outside-the-frame size. I couldn't find any way around this... so I just got rid of the zoom buttons when that option's turned on. If you happen to know of a workaround, I'd love to hear it... {{User:Phlip/sig}} 22:41, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
::Ok, cool. I don't mean that I really care to see toon-specific subs that are remembered with different pages, in case that's what you thought. I just want it to be cleared when I go to a page besides the one being tested.
::I haven't noticed anything else wrong with back/forward. I've noticed that when a page loads normally, it's momentarily enlarged to full screen before it's changed to show outside-the-frame, but that when you do back/forward it doesn't change. Perhaps it's something with how FF tells scripts that the page has loaded when it comes in from memory (since it was in recent history) instead of loading for the first time. I should probably also note that when it's zoomed out after going back/forward, I can still see outside-the-frame action, but of course since it's already full-screen, I only see it on the edges (instead of being like the normal full screen mode that puts black on the sides, this allows vision on the sides).
::Do you think you could make it so if it's already at the max zoom out level, instead of just trying to tell the SWF to zoom out more (unsuccessfully), make it refresh as outside-the-frame in some way so it goes back out? Of course, that would preferably be without ''actually'' refreshing the page, so your place isn't lost like when you save a setting. This could eliminate the need for an outside-the-frame option, since if you want to zoom out when it's already all the way out, it goes to outside-the-frame, while zooming in while viewing outside-the-frame would go to full screen.
::I just got an idea to fix the issue that when you save settings it refreshes the page (more of a workaround really, something that does it without refreshing at all would be better). Let it refresh, but first remember the frame you're at and the pause/unpause status (is there anything else that would be needed to make it seem the same?) and set it to that once it refreshes. --[[User:Mini-Geek|Mini-Geek]][[User_talk:Mini-Geek|t]] [[Special:Contributions/Mini-Geek|c]] 01:27, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

== Thank you! ==

This thing is awesome. [[User:HomsarGuy|HomsarGuy]] 13:16, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

== Thanks and feature suggestion ==

Hey! Thanks for making this script! It really makes watching H*R much easier (and better)!
 I would like to suggest a feature - it would be great to have an automatic 'next' feature to play through a whole series (like SBemail) or to play random through the whole site. This way we could watch sequential H*R without being near a mouse. (I don't know if this would infringe on the value of the SBemail DVDs) -[[User:Dutchscout|Dutchscout]] 05:48, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

== Page-Overwrite? ==

It's been on my mind lately; would it be possible to get the script to overwrite the loaded Flash file on a page, or just replace the content of a page without creating security issues with Flash? In some cases, it could be helpful, as with being able to run subtitles on certain Puppet Stuff toons that don't have their own HTML page, like [[Marshie vs. Little Girl]]. We could use [[HR:default.html|default.html]] as a "dummy page", and using a URL referrer of "<code>overwrite=whateverflashhere.swf</code>" (which would be picked up by the script, not the page), would overwrite the page with your usual Homestar Runner toon-viewing code, with the Flash file in place of the usual "toon placeholder" itself? (I hope that made sense) --[[Special:Contributions/70.253.165.204|70.253.165.204]] 00:14, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

== subtitles stopped working ==

I just noticed it today. I used it and it worked fine the other day. It seems that the script isn't finding the list of languages at [[Subtitles:Languages]] (the Subtitles Language select box doesn't have any entries). I do have AdBlock Plus but disabled it temporarily with no change. I'm using Firefox 3.0.11 with Greasemonkey 0.8.20090123.1 and the newest All-in-one script from [[User:Phlip/Greasemonkey]] (3.2.7). Perhaps it's related to "We will be making adjustments to the server throughout the evening, including upgrading to MediaWiki 1.15."? See also [[HRWiki_talk:Subtitles#Subitles_Not_Working?]] --[[User:Mini-Geek|Mini-Geek]][[User_talk:Mini-Geek|t]] [[Special:Contributions/Mini-Geek|c]] 03:11, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
:It's related to the [[HRWiki:Upgrade to MediaWiki 1.15|new upgrade]] and the move to the /wiki/ URLs... it should be fixed now. The script should automatically prompt you to update it sometime in the next day or so, or you can just hit the install link on [[User:Phlip/Greasemonkey|the script page]] to do it yourself. If you're still not getting subtitles, it could be because you hit the "Save" or "Clear cache" buttons in the config panel while the subtitles were broken... in that case, just open up the config panel, make sure that the "language" option is set, and hit save. That should bring them back. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 16:27, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

::I got it. I had to reinstall Greasemonkey, then update it, then reinstall the HR script.

== Some code for a more streamlined "Hide" ability ==

This is one way that crossed my mind. You'd have to replace the two lines in transcriptLoaded:

<pre>line.text = importNodes(lines[i]);
transcript.push(line);</pre>

With this:

<pre>var hideEnds = true;
for (var j = lines[i].firstChild; j; j = j.nextSibling)
{
// Looks for a "hide" element, and divides the line into two if one is found.
if(j.nodeType == j.ELEMENT_NODE && j.nodeName.toLowerCase() == "hide" && hideEnds)
{
// If no frame number is specified, make the last frame of hiding really big, so it never stops hiding
var hideUntil = 100000;
if(j.hasAttribute("frame"))
{
hideUntil = parseInt(j.getAttribute("frame"), 10);
if(isNaN(hideUntil) && settings.TestSubs)
transcriptError("Hide frame \"" + j.getAttribute("frame") + "\" is not a number");
}
if(hideUntil < line.start && settings.TestSubs)
{
transcriptError("Hide frame \"" + j.getAttribute("frame") + "\" is too early");
}
var firstLine = line;
if(hideuntil < line.end)
{
firstLine.end = hideuntil;
}
else
{
hideEnds = false;
}
j.setNodeName("span");
j.setAttribute("visibility", "hidden");
firstLine.text = importNodes(lines[i]);
transcript.push(firstLine);
j.setAttribute("visibility", "visible");
line.start = hideuntil;
}
}
if(hideEnds)
{
line.text = importNodes(lines[i]);
transcript.push(line);
}</pre>

I'm kinda shaky on the programming language and its nuances, though. Especially "setNodeName", or whether "span" would work without a "/span" (or if adding a "/span" is possible). Also, it's very possible I made a mistake.

If it works, though, it should allow you to add <hide frame="123" /> and it would hide everything after it on a line until frame 123. You wouldn't have to put in multiple lines that way. Even a <hide/> tag should just simply hide everything else on the line, period (unless the toon becomes 100000+ frames in length AND the line comes after that point, but that hasn't happened yet and probably will never.)

Thoughts? Fixes? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 00:31, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

: PS. Another useful addition would be the ability to write overlapping lines separately and have them all display. Would be useful for when characters semi-interrupt or speak over one another. [[Crystal Fortress]]'s subs were a pain to write without this feature. I don't have code for it, though. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 00:56, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
::Also for sound effects that are shorter than the dialogue, etc. Perhaps though it should be a different element called "<nowiki><overlap></nowiki>" with the same syntax as line, just to keep the error checking for people who don't intend to overlap lines. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 01:00, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
:::That <hide> tag sounds like a good idea, that's definitely going on my todo list. Maybe not the way you describe, though... rather than just having the empty tag hide everything from here to the end of the line, have something like "<code>first part <hide frame="100">second part</hide></code>"... it'd make more sense, I think, and be easier to code up. Maybe it should have <code>start</code> and <code>end</code> attributes instead, so things can disappear instead of appearing? Optional, of course, so you can have just a <code>start</code> and no <code>end</code>, and have it behave like you describe.
:::As for overlapping lines, it's something that I've considered before, but never really looked into, as it could be kinda tricky. In particular, arranging the lines... if you have two lines at once, and the first one ends, you want the second one to stay on the second line, with a gap above it (it could move upwards, but that'd be confusing)... and then, if a third line starts, it'd make sense to put it in the gap above the second line... but it may not fit, if it's a long line that word-wraps, or has the <code>volume</code> attribute turned up, or something. So there's an optimisation problem there to arrange all the lines without it being so tall that it runs out of space. But I may be overthinking it here, and a greedy heuristic is probably enough. I'll try it, and see what happens.
:::But don't hold your breath for either of these... I can't guarantee how long they'll take to write... what with the full-time work and all, I'm often not in the mood for programming outside work... but we'll see. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 03:58, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
::::We could create a <code>lineindex</code> attribute to fix that problem. {{User:Soiled Bargains/sig}} 14:21, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
:::::Not really... maybe if every line was exactly the same height, it'd work, but that's not necessarily the case, with <code>volume</code> and word-wrap. Indeed, with word-wrap, the same line could be different heights on different computers, even with the same subtitles script. Much better to have a dynamic solution. It'd be less work for the transcribers that way anyway, which is kinda the point of this whole thing. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 22:00, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

== Midori Web Browser ==

You probably don't use linux but, your script does not work with midori's built in userscript engine. I want it to work with midori but do not know why it isn't working. {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 13:11, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
:The script uses a bunch of GreaseMonkey-specific features, for things like saving the preferences or loading subtitles from the wiki. From [http://wiki.xfce.org/midori_faq#user_scripts what I can tell], Midori doesn't support any of those (note the part that says "Midori also does not support greasemonkey's api"). I looked into it briefly before, when I was considering supporting Opera... but without those features, it would be a lot of work.

::* Check if next toon exists
::* Has the seek bar
::But I guess it's still not possible. {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 13:48, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
:::Like I said, it would be a heck of a lot of work to retrofit the script to not depend on Greasemonkey. That includes stripping out the script so that only some features are available - all the different features are pretty interconnected at the moment, it's hard to remove just one of them. It's my long-term plan to clean up the script and make it simpler to manage, but that's been my long-term plan since before the subtitles thing started 3 years ago, and I still haven't even started, so don't hold your breath. And anyway, that "check if the next toon exists" thing is one of the things that depends on the GM API, so even if I could quickly strip down the features, I couldn't do that one easily.
:::However! You might have some luck with the original scripts that the all-in-one script was based on. I suspect that the [http://userscripts.org/scripts/review/633 Homestar Full-on] ''could'' work in other browsers that have userscript features... I haven't tried it, but it looks like it could work (it doesn't depend on GreaseMonkey, but it might implicitly depend on Firefox, that's harder to tell just by looking at the script). The [https://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/flash.html seek bar] bookmarklet might work, it might not. Try it and see. Obviously, if they don't work, there's not much I can do about it, but it's worth a shot. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 21:41, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

== Chrome Now Can Install... but... ==

You need to install [http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/5166 from here] instead. Unfortunately, even though Chrome has the greasemonkey APIs, your extension, Philip, doesn't work. the only portion that DOES work is the flyout settings menu when looking at a homestarrunner.com page. None of the settings can actually be saved. You need a git or development version of chrome to be able to install the script I believe, and that's easily done on ubuntu using the chromium daily ppa from launchpad. However, as said by [http://blog.chromium.org/2010/02/40000-more-extensions.html this blog] about the new feature, you will most likely have to edit your script so it works with chrome. {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 13:50, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
:Yes, I know, both Chrome and Opera and a couple of other browsers have user script engines, but most of them don't have the power necessary to run this script (neither Opera nor Chrome for instance allow cross-site AJAX requests, which are required for subtitles, rando and check-for-updates) and even the features they do have, you need to use in a different way (eg Opera doesn't have the GM_* functions, so I'd need to re-write all the preference-saving and AJAX code using other APIs). This doesn't make it ''impossible'' to make a script this complicated that will work in all these browsers... but it means it'd be a ''lot'' of work to retrofit an existing script to work.
:tl;dr: Only Firefox is supported for the foreseeable future. Like I [[#Midori_Web_Browser|said to you before]]. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 21:38, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

== Eating Up CPU ==

Just to warn people who have non-HT Single Core Processors (true single-cores, meaning no logical cores.) I have a 1.60 GHz true single-core processor (atoms are not true single-cores), and adding this to homestarrunner.com shoots up CPU usage to 100% on idle. Unfocusing the tab in which the script is active will bring down the CPU. {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 01:23, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
:Huh, it doesn't do that for me... my computer isn't single-core, but using this script doesn't cause my usage to shoot up to a single core being fully used. It does increase the usage a bit, but not drastically... the main culprits being (a) View fullscreen - obviously, if Flash has to render a larger area, it's going to take more processing time; and (b) Seek bar/subtitles... these too mean asking the Flash object a bunch what frame it's up to... which means a lot more context switching between the browser and the plugin, and all the wrappers and whatnot that needs... which is either the fault of Flash or the plugin architecture, I'm not sure which. Anyways - if you try turning those options off, it should help with your CPU problems. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 09:30, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
::I've turned off fullscreen thing, nothing changed; I don't want to turn off subtitles, but I turned off the seek bar, it took up half my CPU alone. I really like the subtitles project, so I don't want that to go away. {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 15:42, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

== Firefox 4.0 & JaegerMonkey ==

With [http://news.cnet.com/8301-30685_3-20004620-264.html Firefox 4.0] coming this year (or so it seems), they plan to implement "JaegerMonkey," a javaScript engine that rivals Safari's and Chrome's. The suffix -Monkey, sounds like it'll probably be replacing Greasemonkey or even forcing greasemonkey users to recompile their scripts all together. What do you plan to do if this happens? Keeping in mind that Firefox is the ONLY browser that works with your script, no other does. —[[User:ColdReactive|ColdReactive]] 16:08, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
:I'll cross that bridge when we come to it. I don't see anything to suggest JägerMonkey is going to supersede GreaseMonkey (it's more likely it got the -Monkey suffix from [[Wikipedia:SpiderMonkey (JavaScript engine)|SpiderMonkey]]). So I don't expect the changes to be that drastic (there's probably going to be new features the script could potentially use, but little in the way of old features disappearing). Also: yes, I get the fact that there's a couple of dozen browsers you've asked me to port the script to... I've made it clear that isn't going to happen. Being snarky isn't going to change that. Note the big GPL header at the top of the script - if you want it to work in Opera or Chrome or Midori or whateverthecrap other browser you're using this week, you're welcome to try to figure it out yourself. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 22:59, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

== Resizing option for recent toons ==

Hey, Phlip. The largest monitor I have is reasonably sized and yet can't show all of past two toons at their HTML'd resolution (at least in Firefox). I admire the screen-resizing option, but with an old laptop that can only do 1024×768 that struggles enough with Flash (The one I'm using right now, in fact. It runs Linux), I'd rather not have toons in the usual 550×400 resolution being scaled. Could there be an option so that users can downsize toons to their native resolution? After all, the newer toons were made in the usual 550×400, I've heard. {{User:Soiled Bargains/sig}} 23:20, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
:Actually, could there be an option to set our preferred vertical resolution? {{User:Soiled Bargains/sig}} 23:27, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

== Firefox 4 zoom ==

I just noted that when I do the normal resize thing by holding down CTRL and using the scroll wheel in firefox 4, the homestar runner flash objects all are resized as well. Is this new to Firefox 4? Or was it already introduced into 3.6.x? I swear I wasn't able to do this previously. This probably should go somewhere else, but since I only really wanted the resize portion in this script, I may just forgo keeping greasemonkey. {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 20:18, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
:It works as you describe in at least 3.6.13. Maybe you had "Zoom Text Only" checked. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:54, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

== "Do not play on load" option ==

I have another feature request, but it's more of a convenience than anything. Could we have the option to have the Flash paused on page load, instead of having it automatically play? This would help someone when they restore a browser session that has multiple tabs/windows on homestarrunner.com. In my case, I find myself going to a toon, and then adjusting my settings a few times to get it just right (or, in recent cases of one of my Linux machines, getting the Flash player to appear). The bad thing is that, after doing that, the very beginning of the toon is unpleasantly seared into my brain, after hearing it several times on several occasions. Please and thanks, {{User:Soiled Bargains/sig|nodash=nodash}} 19:53, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
:Someone has told me about the Firefox extension [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bartab/ BarTab] for Firefox versions 4.0b6 and below, which doesn't automatically load tabs when a browser session is restored. Then I learned that Firefox 4 through 7 have had an option like this available as a hidden option; in Firefox 8 it will be available through the Preferences window. I guess my request is no more, seeing as I have other options. {{User:Soiled Bargains/sig}} 20:25, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
::Hahaha, what timing. Firefox 8 is out three days later. I did not see that coming. {{User:Soiled Bargains/sig}} 22:33, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

== Flipper broken ==

The flipper function (that turns the website upside down) is broken. Can you please either remove the function or mirror the flipper SWF on mrphlip.com? {{User:Dagoth/sig}} (I mean that it shows a 404'd error in place of the flipped page)
: I'll have a bit of a look, but I'm not sure it'd work to mirror the SWF... Flash tends to get tetchy about that sort of cross-domain nonsense. Anyway, I haven't really touched this script in some time, and unless the hiatus ends, I probably won't any time soon... {{User:Phlip/sig}} 09:48, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
:: Yeah, doesn't work. I've disabled the flipper in the script... I didn't bother to set the "updated" flag, though, so it won't get sent out through the update notification thing... no need to alert people to have to pick this up just because a feature's getting removed. If you feel the need to have the non-working option disappear from your options, though, you can just click the "install the script" link on the page here. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 10:50, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

== Chromified All-In-One Prototype ==
Update: It's highly recommended to either use the CRX, or the original script with Tampermonkey, like DeFender mentioned. I might add this to the Chrome App Store, but I'd like to make sure it's mostly bug-free, first.
Downlods:
* Chrome CRX (adds button to toolbar instead of in-window): http://cl.ly/QlpQ/HRAIO.crx
* Chrome CRX source: http://cl.ly/Qlse/HRAIO.zip
* Tampermonkey: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tampermonkey/dhdgffkkebhmkfjojejmpbldmpobfkfo?hl=en
<del>I modified the userscript to work with Chrome (I have version 28.0.1500.95). It's a bit of a hack, but hey-- it works for the most part!
I tested the basics, if anyone wants to test it, download it here: http://cl.ly/QkAX/allinone.user.js</del>
To install:
1. Download the file (it'll likely complain that you can only use the Chrome App Store, ignore it because it's downloaded anyway)
2. Go to your Downloads folder and find HRAIO.crx
3. Open the URL chrome://extensions in Chrome and drag and drop the HRAIO.crx into that window.
4. Click Accept/OK/Sure/whatever it says when it asks about security to install it.

edit by Gh0st

yes it works kindof navigation bar works, however subtitles do not when enabled do you want to possibly contact me to work on this script gh0sti at me dot com
:Phlip's original script works (almost) perfectly fine with [https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tampermonkey/dhdgffkkebhmkfjojejmpbldmpobfkfo?hl=en tampermonkey] installed. (The almost is that the "back one frame" button has the | and the < on separate lines, making it look slightly wrong. Other than that, it's perfect.) {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 18:01, 10 August 2013 (UTC)
::I wasn't even aware that was a thing, honestly! If anything, I'm just going to keep working on this in case people don't want to download another extension for whatever reason. Also because I find it fun, cough cough. The "|<" is a problem even without tampermonkey, so it must be a Chrome thing. I'll start to look into that, even if just because of cosmetic reasons. Also, gh0st, what's the problem with the navbar/subtitles? I've got this just fine: [http://cl.ly/image/0j361g3C1x2n/i.png screenshot] [[User:Atarifanatic|Atari]] 20:54, 10 August 2013 (UTC)
:::Hmm... try this:<pre>prevButton.style.whiteSpace = "nowrap";</pre>should fix the wrapping, though I haven't tested it. As for the subtitles, it looks like you're still using GM_xmlHttpRequest to fetch those, so presumably you have something set up that lets you do that... I doubt Chrome has that builtin (and what it does have builtin wouldn't let you make a replacement, since it's cross-site and all). {{User:Phlip/sig}} 23:09, 10 August 2013 (UTC)
:::: That bit of code worked out! Although, I'm kinda confused on why Chrome would decide to wrap a button. With the subtitles, I honestly don't know what in my version of Chrome is making it work. Even with only the All-in-one extension added, it works. I tried looking it up and it seems to be implied that it was broken on version 27, but it works on 28 (which is odd in the first place because GM_ is GreaseMonkey, not Chrome), as referenced by [https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=242890 this issue in the bugtracker]. [[User:Atarifanatic|Atari]] 14:58, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

what if you made it a plugin in the chrome store possibly easier to update?? and philip are you back to help code it to work again?
:I decided to work on this one and came up with this buggy little .crx in the first post. <del>It's got some problems with the scaling that I couldn't figure out (if anyone could help, that'd be great; I just have to wait for tomorrow to upload the source)</del> I think I got it figured out; at least it's scrolling. I'm much better with making my own code than editing that of others', so I wouldn't be surprised if I made a mess out of it. But hey, now the button's in the Chrome toolbar!

@Gh0sti : Subtitles still do not work on the latest version you have put up, everything else seems to be working

:::Other than the seek bar not turning off, this works pretty good. --[[User:Mr nutt|mr_nutt]] 12:39, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
::::Just looked into this and you're right; localStorage doesn't cross between site to extension, meaning all settings are stored somewhere they can't be accessed. I'll try to figure out a fix for this as soon as possible. [[User:Atarifanatic|Atari]] 17:49, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

@Gh0sti: so how goes the updating of the plugin for chrome the subtitles still doesnt work and also looks like chrome wont let you install extensions unless its from the chrome store 12/1/2013

Unfortunately, this project seems dead. A real shame too since it was mostly working at one point. Though mind you, they might be struggling to get it in the Chrome Store for all I know. --[[User:Mr nutt|mr_nutt]] 22:38, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
:I said it above and i'll say it again. The original script works almost perfectly in [https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tampermonkey/dhdgffkkebhmkfjojejmpbldmpobfkfo?hl=en tampermonkey]. Just use that and stop complaining. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 18:01, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

== Chrome plugin ==

I really like how simple the plugin is now, but I notice the frame counter is gone. That was really useful for finding hidden sections of the video, as well as a way to tell someone what frame to start on to see or hear a specific moment. If that can be added back in, that would be fantastic. [[User:Homestar3.14|Homestar3.14]] 23:41, 8 October 2014 (UTC)
