Is this something available to everyone or has it been created for a particular alliance?

I should think it is for everyone and everyone can get a link from Eaque, its creator.

That's correct, send me a PM to get the script and the guidelines to install it.
On another note, I'd like to clear something with the GMs...
In the context of a new Illytools feature, would it breach the rules to "centralize" information on a page, and send orders from that page. e.g. provide a page that display all the buildings of a town, and provide buttons to launch upgrades for each building listed?
Thanks

Players can't be devs, or I might have been one myself. 3rd party development lets players get involved and push independent agendas (i.e. better interface usability, information management, etc.).

That makes sense HM... Conflict of interest
And also, we don't work with the same backend technology... I'm specialized in Php, when Illy runs on ASP

First of all I wanted to say thanks to the devs for providing the town data in xml format. Highly appreciated It might be interesting to propose the downloads also in compressed format to save bandwidth.

Can I clarify - Can a user-initiated action retrieve data that isn't visible on the current page or cached but is available to the user from another screen?
eg...
User decides to send Resources from UserTown1 to UserTown2
Is a script allowed to retrieve the current resource level for the target town to warn if your delivery will over-fill (taking into account harvesting rates/travel time). I will most likely have the resource data cached (or can force it) but retrieving the max resource limit requires going to the resource summary (as far as I know). Do I have to force the user to browse there for each town or can I just get the data when prompted (and cache it of course!)
In this case, although it's riding on the back of a user action, it also potentially requires 1-2 additional requests to the server

There might be a javascript variable called: maxStorage which contains that value for the current town focused - but you will have to cache this as it you can only have on town focused at once and it changes when you change towns.
Please note I'm not advocating the use of this variable or assuring its continued presence; but it may be what you are looking for for now.
