Sorry if this idea has already come up... I searched and didn't see anything.

Would it be possible for BoB to calculate the number of ranking points you will win/lose based on the ranks of the people you're playing with?

Estimate based on rank, yes. Provide something accurate, no.

actually yeti said it was possible, just a pain to program, and emphasis on pain

Er - no - I said it would be possible IF lack put the scores on the page somewhere. (It would be easy then)

VERSION : 3.5.3

FIXED :
Few tweaks here and there for help text and UI.

C.

[Qyu]

can you put a higher and fixed width to HUD, so the end attack and end fortify will not near eachother
like actually, when HUD is off

I could do - but actually I think the UI is nicer like this... Once you get used to using your mouse more accurately you won't click the wrong button.

Why the Clock doesn't countdown when it goes red...

Red clock

Code: Select all

<span id="clock">
<span class="countdown-alert">00hrs
09min
15sec
</span>
</span>


Black clock

Code: Select all

<span id="clock">
08hrs
12min
49sec
</span>


I need to ensure that the parser ignore the span.

I don't know if anybody else is suffering the same problems as I am. I am not sure if it is BOB or something else. Possibly Greasemonkey?

a) Conquer Man map - Keeps locking out and telling me a script that is running is not responding. I have to turn Greasemonkey off to actually make a turn.

b) Also having similar problems with deploying on the Scotland map. Have to turn Greasemonkey off again to do anything on that. It just locks me out and I have to come out to "my games" turn it off and go back in to the game.

Is this happening to anybody else?

[yeti_c]

a) Conquerman is slow due to the huge XML document that runs it.

b) You must have an old version - the bugs in BOB for the scotland map were fixed a couple of weeks ago - I suggest you upgrade - the latest version is 3.5.2

Rather than a higher fixed width... use the map width.

Code: Select all

actionForm.style.width=map.style.width;

That way the action form is at least the same width as the map... that should help some. Or you could throw in an option to toggle hud width... Default, Map, Map + 100, Map + 200.

Hmmm - more options!? They already scroll of the screen as it is!!

Map width is a bit wide... but it can be done easily.

Ish - did you read my posts about Deferred?

VERSION : 3.5.4

FIXED :
A few UI issues tidied up.
Anchor tags removed from Help cos they didn't work.
ActionForm widenend to please the masses.

[Riazor]

In version 3.5.4 (and 3.5.3), when using the map inspect, the squares that indicate the countries on the map show the wrong colour.

I'll elaborate:
player 8 (purple) has white squares
player 6 (pink) has purple squares

Is this because of one of my settings, or...?

[Ishiro]

Hi Ishiro - I've just read this - The deferred value is only used to show the deferred armies when the player is playing his turn...

I.e. for when the player has pressed Begin - and until the player is deploying his deferred armies - at all other times the plan was to calculate the deferred armies by the bonus * missed turns (this calc doesn't work in turn as the player may have changed their bonus)

So the trick is when to reinitialise "deferred"... I can't do it on Deploy... as that happens before - or Attack...

I can't do it on "Fortify" of "gets a card" - although these would help minimise the problem - but if they didn't fortify in a no cards game - then the bug will still happen...

I can't reset it if someone else plays - as that won't work on Freestyle...

Hmmm.

C.

Well... it would be nice if lack threw in a "player ends turn" line when they finish.

And 3.5.2.

These were supposed to be the new colours for the Army colours - the change hasn't happened yet though - due to a couple of issues...

C.

Actually Hecter is right, you cannot calculate the scores, you can estimate them. They are live values, such as if some random player could be getting a win on another game against one of your opponents in your current game and that current game player's score will change immediately.

For example
Tom has 2000 points
You have 1000 points

Before you can eliminate Tom, Tom lost to John (with 500 points)

Now instead of the 40 points you figured you would get, you would instead get 38 pts.

Now agreed that is not a big difference in a two player game but that can fluctuate a great more in an 8 player game. It is just a fact that the points can only be estimated.

[yeti_c]

Technically you're right - but with the live scores it would be accurate to as close as possible... obviously each time someone does something the scores would be udated - so it would be fairly unlucky for it to be wrong...

Without the live scores - then it's even more estimated.
