#1859938 New manga site like bato.to

Posted by SushiAddiction on 23 January 2018 - 05:46 AM

^^ Thanks for the info... and how it was delivered :)
 
Mangadex is looking really good so far from a user perspective. After the rest of the features already mentioned have been added, it's hard to imagine a better site.
Only thing that could slow mangadex is;
- No forum atm
- Scanlators end up preferring another site because of X feature.
- Batoto's manga trove of 6TB
 
I added mangadex to that greasemonkey script for MU


#1858971 ANOTHER SITE LIKE THIS!!! LINK! PLEASE SHARE WITH EVERYONE!

Credit is a given, but ....

 

Site is under development. Features keep being added. Maybe delay is on the list eventually. MangaDex is working on lots of batoto functions

 

As for the rest, wait and see what happens to batoto's DB and images. It's the same situation. Are they going to upload it somewhere and will they ask permission from every scanlator? I get what you are saying but it's not practical.

 

A few groups have already taken over their group entries on MangaDex. This seems to suggest things are moving in the right direction.

So yeah that DNS changing thing does not work anymore here *shrugs*


Did you ever test DNSCrypt?


#1858077 Isekai list

Posted by SushiAddiction on 18 January 2018 - 09:20 AM

Still haven't done your MU list because it's a PITA?
This is how to bulk add the list
 
After you sign up go to https://www.mangaupdates.com/mylist.html
Click "Edit Lists"
 
Under New List. Type Isekai, Isekai and click Create list.
 
Now go to the Isekai list you just created
 
Select Add Series. Then select Add Bulk
 
Add the list in the spoiler tag below (Copy from batoto, paste into MU)

Then click "Add all of these"

.... after that everything should be obvious

Isekai List



#1857732 New manga site like bato.to

Yeah, I will work on a way of importing the list next.

 

If possible, at some time, no rush. Black background when reading.




#1857181 New manga site like bato.to

Posted by SushiAddiction on 17 January 2018 - 05:30 AM

Mangupdates is the closest site that I know that keeps a list of manga with the scanalation groups, chapter #s, etc. I've kept a list there a few years before and it's useful but not nearly as good as Batoto.

 

Also, I recall a way to click on links to their official sites awhile ago on MU. Does anyone remember the way to get the hyperlinks?

https://github.com/loadletter/mangaupdates-urlfix

 

I posted this too https://vatoto.com/forums/topic/28921-to-all-scanlators-without-a-web-site/

 

I also have a list of all scanlators on batoto

 

 

People don't realise that a large chunk of the sites out there scraped bototo for content and many sites will collapse with trying to get new chapters without batoto.

 

Without scanlators updating their sites, if they don't have one, many groups are going to be unfindable

 

YES I INCREASED THE FONT TO SHOUT> READ IT PEOPLE. IMPORTANT




#1857113 To all scanlators without a web site

Posted by SushiAddiction on 17 January 2018 - 01:25 AM

At the moment the only way for users to easily find group releases is mangaupdates.

 

For legal reasons mangaupdates removed all links to scanlator sites but there is a tampermonkey script that restores them https://github.com/loadletter/mangaupdates-urlfix

 

Anyone can update a site with that script by clicking "Suggest an update" ( details at bottom of page https://github.com/loadletter/mangaupdates-urlfix)

 

You can set up a free web site with wordpress, blogspot or even simple text with ghostbin

 

 

 

There are many entries from small groups, usually single person, that list batoto as their site. Please update so users can easily find your scans.




#1856964 Finding Reverse Isekai manga about mage transported to Earth

That sounds exactly like the anime re:creators :D

#1856061 New manga site like bato.to

Posted by SushiAddiction on 13 January 2018 - 01:23 PM

I was hoping to get a conformation "stuff you" from "Hopefully someone is competent is up to it."

 

 

 

stupid kissmanga keeps giving me "Banned - please try to disable VPN." on some servers. I've got over 800 to choose from and most of them work :D

 

I get they don't want scrapers, even though they scrape batoto. Still, annoying for VPN users.

 

 

The more I've looked, the more I'm certain. Mangaupdates with grease/tampermonkey scripts is the only way to go without a scanlator friendly site like batoto.




#1855281 CS guy here willing to keep site running... how get in touch with Grumpy?

Posted by SushiAddiction on 10 January 2018 - 02:55 PM

Wow, where did civil discussion go.




#1855269 CS guy here willing to keep site running... how get in touch with Grumpy?

Posted by SushiAddiction on 10 January 2018 - 02:11 PM

Grumpy already stated he will not hand over the site in his post,dude.Those DB contains hundreds of thousand of user data and you think he's willing to let it go to random nobody which can literally risk a lot of people's data got farmed and used in an inappropiate way?
I'd rather let him nuke this website and let his worries go away.
Just contact the staff instead that have the comic database and open up a new website.

 

It could be possible to purge all private user data. People would just have to start from scratch (new username and all PM deleted). It's an option.

 

I don't want to stress out or annoy owner-san who should be doing whatever he desires... but, without a site like batoto where scanlators upload, we are screwed.




#1855242 New manga site like bato.to

Posted by SushiAddiction on 10 January 2018 - 12:29 PM

Saw a comment on reddit discussing Batoto shutting down which might help you out with getting an idea of how the artwork looks on mangaupdates. There were also some other useful scripts for MU mentioned earlier.

https://userscripts-mirror.org/scripts/show/66979

I couldn't get it working no matter what (yes I followed suggestions) >EDIT - working. I don't see it's that much better than mylist.

 

so I'm using atm

https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/10937-mangaupdates-custom-releases-page

 

Links to MF MH from MU. I've added another site, KA. in the comments section there is an attached script. It's partially broken. I can't fix it but I will probably add more sites. Hopefully someone can fix the script.

https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/19820-manga-updates-external-links

or

modified (MF,MH,KA,MP), need to create new script and paste the text from here into it. AniDB link broken too (not my fault)

https://justpaste.it/1fixt

 

Already had bring back group links installed. Excellent.

https://github.com/loadletter/mangaupdates-urlfix/

 

Covers should not be turned on unless needed. Extra traffic

 

Other stuff

 

This plugs a hole that affects every link. Helps on ad pages

http://www.github.com/jaredsohn/noopener_by_default

 

along with the usual extensions to stop nasty ads that behave badly.

 

 

ALL this is a stopgap. We really need a new batoto. A place where scanlators will upload. Many of these other sites just scraped batoto. These sites will become shit with batoto gone.




#1855081 New manga site like bato.to

Posted by SushiAddiction on 10 January 2018 - 12:20 AM

I would like to find one site that show me the last release of the manga i'm following like batoto even if you can't read them online.
Now time to search internet I guess.

https://www.mangaupdates.com

 

It's the best option to keep track. It's been around forever so you'll never lose your list. I avoided it for a while but it's worth it.

 

It shows new chapters in ordered list and more.

 

You can also install a tampermonkey script to make things even easier




#1854823 New manga site like bato.to

Posted by SushiAddiction on 09 January 2018 - 09:57 AM

malware ads

You mean the ads when you click on them and a window/dialogue pops up, and if you click the stupid option it installs something

 

I looked Kissmanga seems be the only option ATM. No where near as good as batoto. It looks like they ran a scraper on batoto. Now what are they going to to do :D

 

Hopefully a simplified version of batoto comes back where scanlators can upload. YES I'M SHOUTING & PRAYING AT THE SAME TIME.

 

If there is a manga god, he may hear me. If not, truck-kun do your thing.

 

Until then I've updated all to mangaupdates and will use whatever




#1854298 New manga site like bato.to

Posted by SushiAddiction on 08 January 2018 - 03:07 PM

Any site that Scanlators would choose to upload on is what is needed.

 

batoto is the only one that was used by so many.
