JavaScript - getting username of player from the game on a page?

Would I need my own edited client to allow me to do this or can I do it how it is now?

edited client hands down

sarcastic edit:
but since you don't get that, you should probably stop now.

Re: JavaScript - getting username of player from the game on a page?

You could use a method Hexagon uses:
Display an identification code, let players go to a certain room (where a bot will be waiting), players tells identification code and you know what username is one what page. From there on you can also track what rooms they've been in and all that.\

big workaround though.

^painfully big. You may as well not even bother with javascript at that point.
In fact, if you're going that route, consider using processor's implementation

That is, if he ever makes it reliable.

Then you could do authentication on a need-to-know basis... hashed cookies 'n whatnot. Or, if you don't care about security, just put a textbox + cookie combo. (ha)

I'm too lazy to update an edit for every update as soon as an update is made so I'll just have a textbox - it's nothing majorly important, just a neat feature.

^I do want to point out that it'd be Processor's job to keep up with update... if he ever ... yeah.

ok good luck

That's mostly how it works. What happens is I read the XHR material from the playerio api via a chrome extension, and from there extract the username, and make sure it matches the one in the username field.
