Notice that all kinds of ornaments are now combined as one layer. Use the "Ornaments Opt" window to control the display of ornaments. You can also enable the "Ornament icons basic" and "Ornament icons extended" plugins to display the names of the ornaments and replace the ornament icons with those used in Ingress. Read more in the changelog.

# Download IITC-CE

for desktop browsers
for Android and iOS

IITC Mobile updates are no longer available on Google Play, but now we are on F-Droid. And you can also download the .apk file as before.

Note: Google Play, F-Droid and our .apk are signed with incompatible encryption keys, so installing the update over the application from another source is not possible. You must first uninstall the previous version.

2022-06-14 13:43:48 IITC Store announcement and other development progress

# IITC Store

The official collection of third-party plugins - IITC Store - has been launched in test mode. At the moment, plugins in collection are automatically checking for updates and generating a list with plugins.

Thanks to @Suburbanno for his list of plugins, which I added to collection. Looking forward to your plugins as well. To add your plugin to the catalog you need to create a PR, more details in CONTRIBUTING.md file.

In the future, I also plan to create an IITC Store page on the website for convenience.

# New mobile app

As you may know, IITC Mobile does not meet the updated requirements of Google Play, so it is impossible to provide updates to users. Making major changes to IITC Mobile to meet the new requirements is difficult because it has a lot of old code, and the main IITC-CE developers are not Java developers.

So I started creating a new mobile app written in NativeScript+Vue.js, and using common code with the browser-based IITC Button add-on.

The common code with IITC Button was put in a separate library (lib-iitc-manager) and tests were added. This helped to fix some hidden bugs, in particular fixing some plugins that did not work with IITC Button before. The lib-iitc-manager is already used to build the IITC Store collection. I am sure that using the library on a large number of plugins will fix the remaining bugs and get the IITC Button and new mobile app to run all IITC plugins without problems.

# Need your help

I've been actively fighting Putin's regime since 2017. Unfortunately, before the full-scale war in Ukraine, many, both in Russia and in other governments, did not see him as a threat.

I think you've already read a lot about what Putin's army is doing in Ukraine, but I want to show what's going on from a different angle. International money transfers have been blocked for Russian citizens. In particular, freelance work has been made much more difficult. It is clear that this is how sanctions work, acting on everyone and not on the specific people to blame for what happened. But now freelancers have a choice: look for orders in the rather poor local market or work for organizations, thereby becoming more dependent on Putin's government.

It is now impossible to donate IITC through PayPal and LiberaPay (uses PayPal for withdrawals).

Fortunately, it is convenient to make a donation via Telegram. You can also donate in cryptocurrency.
Your donations allow me to pay for the project server and more time to develop IITC instead of doing other work.

Thank you for your help and use of IITC. Stay with Ukraine. And Russia will be free. Open / Comment

2021-08-24 14:32:27 Usually in this channel we don't publish news about IITC Button update. But today I want to tell you about a rather useful plugin Ultimate Mission Maker, support for which has been implemented in new IITC Button v1.7.0.

Ultimate Mission Maker (UMM) is a plugin designed to simplify mission submission process in banners. The UMM allows you to set banner parameters (such as name, description, etc.) directly in IITC, draw a path for missions, and then export to Niantic's mission authoring tool.

Why didn't this plugin work with IITC Button before v1.7.0 update? Due to the fact that Intel map address was changing, some old unupdated plugins are restricted to work only with old Intel map address. So, before IITC Button v1.7.0 update, all plugins for Ingress were forced to run on new address, regardless of which address the plugins were meant for. However, this solution has disadvantages: UMM plugin can not run on https://missions.ingress.com/, and some .user.js files that are not plugins for IITC, on the contrary, are forced to run.
IITC Button now adds a value parser @match/@include, which determines whether plugin is intended for Ingress and also IITC or a mission authoring tool.

Let me remind you, IITC Button (get it on Firefox Add-ons and Chrome Web Store) is a simple extension for players, allowing you to get IITC in your browser without proper skills and easily enable the necessary plugins. But if you're an experienced developer, you'll probably like Tampermonkey/Greasemonkey/Violentmonkey.
As for plugin support, IITC Button currently has almost all the features that third-party plugins could use, but if your plugin works in *monkey but doesn't work in IITC Button, feel free to open the issue. Open / Comment

2020-12-23 12:52:44 Great news! We have Beta channel in Google Play now!
Every change merged into master comes to beta (with some delay needed for Google approving).
Current master already has very important fixes, so it is highly recommended to join Beta!

Note: Beta is not the same as test-builds, it is much more stable

iitc.app site provides Beta app directly, it is also available in archive (it is possible to install it over release, all the data will be preserved)

IITC Buttons users: you can switch to Beta channel in Settings!

A new release is coming and you can greatly help us complete the translation into your native language on our translation platform. Open / Comment

2020-12-11 15:41:23 While we are working on getting out a new release of IITC-CE, the intel is now showing new ornaments for Volatile Scout Controller Portals (VSCPs) (see @NianticOfficial for details).

IITC-CE (V0.30.1) and IITCm fail to load and show portals properly, if ornaments are turned "off" (the default is "on").

Workaround 1: leave ornaments active.
Workaround 2: use the testing builds on IITC.APP, these already have the needed fixes.

Stay tuned for the upcomming updates. Open / Comment
