All of my games say last bonus zero for all players. I see others are having this issue as well. Any known fixes?

I sometimes get the following problems...

a. BOB gets "stuck" on statistics tables
b. deploy, attack, fortify buttons don't work

it only affects the game at the top of my page. when I come home and take a few turns, only the first game I play is affected.

I run firefox 3 and I use ABP (Adblock Plus) but it occurs whether that's enabled or disabled and I've never had this problem while running both before. It's only been occurring recently so I would assume it's related to the update as others have concluded as well about their problems.

thanks

Worked for me too, too simple I guess. LOL

For everyone wondering how to do this, right mouse click on the monkey in the lower right corner of your screen,

Select "manage user scripts"

Find Conquer Club BOB in the window on the left and at the bottom, select "Edit" box

If you haven't already chosen an editor, do so now (something like wordpad or notepad will do in a pinch).

Find var str_receives = "receives" (use the search function in your editor, we're not 3rd world here) and do as the man says, change "receiveS" with "receiveD", save the file as a .js (just click on the disk icon usually does it) and voila!


Well I am really computer handicapped...

When I hit the edit button it just sends me to my hard drive to look for the file to open.
I opened up scripts in Mozilla firefox but cant seem to find the conquer club bob file on my xp so I can edit it. Can you tell me the name of file. I looked all over for a bob, ajax, card counter, and other names in that line of thought through out mozilla and cant find it.

It isn't asking for the file, it is asking for the program to open the file. Use notepad or wordpad.

It doesn't work because Lack changed the wording on the scripts for some reason. BOB reads the scripts and makes choices accordingly. Here's the fix from a previous post of mine:

Though I fixed the script locally by replacing'var str_receives = "receives";' with 'var str_receives = "received";'. 1 letter difference :), and I can see the last bonusses again.

Finally. =D Thanks to whoever posted the fix to the Last Bonus issue.

Anyway, I was "inspired" to try and fix the negative territories issue as well.
Well, I'm a complete programming newbie, but I was looking through the code anyway and found this code segment:

Code: Select all

        else if( log[i].has(str_lost) )
        {
             if (fog)
             {
                playersArray[name]._calculatedCountries--;
             }
        }

I didn't understand the point of this... The word "lost" (what str_lost is set to) only appears when it shows how many points a player loses, and that really has nothing to do with territories. So why would that count as losing a territory? I believe the change of wording from "loses" to "lost" threw this off. But since "lost" isn't used anywhere else anyway, I commented "playersArray[name]._calculatedCountries--;" out. =D Seemingly works just fine for me now.

Think this is a plausible fix?

Got a new bug for ya...When playing Oceania it does not allow me to place my men at the begging of a turn. The region drop down is populated correctly but at about 10 regions half the list starts to appear Grey or neutral. When the button is pressed nothing happens. It sometimes helps to refresh the screen (F5) but not always.

I have noticed that this error only happens when you acquire more than 10 regions...I am guessing at 10 but around there.

Hope i am clear in my description.

I'm still having problems with getting stuck on "Initializing BOB," even after the help of the admins. The last admin lead me back to this site to get possible help. Can someone help me please.

Monday, June 15 2009 7:49am
Received the following reply from king achilles in reference to ticket# 152839 dated May 18, 2009.]

"Try to uninstall BOB first then reinstall it.

If that still does not work, uninstall your current Firefox browser. The reinstall Firefox and reinstall BOB again.

If you have other scripts installed, could you also try to disable them and only use BOB and see if it works for you, as there is also a possibility that a conflict between scripts could have occurred.

I'm still having the same "Initializing BOB" problem after uninstalling Foxfire, and uninstalling BOB. I've been running no other scripts other than BOB.

Do you have any other suggestions?

Regards

I suggest you see if any of the script writers, as BOB is a user created script not officially supported by Conquer Club, can help you with your issue. Check out this forum topic and post your issue there:

viewtopic.php?f=59&t=46075

Happy CCing,

No - you need to log the loss of a territory - the wording change would need to be applied to this portion of the script too.

not to seam unappreciative, but bob has been messed up for over a week now, there have been suggested fixes posted by various people, which i believe are too complicated for me, is a new version of bob going to be released soon to remedy these bob bugs.

I have an oceana game going and i cant wait to lose because i have to turn bob off to take my turns
in my city mogul games it does not keep track of last bonuses or territories properly

i am having withdrawal symptoms from not using bob fully, and am not creating any new games until a remedy is available.

The 'last bonus' fix proposed above (the whole receives vs. received thing) is a really really easy fix to make. I'm a retard when it comes to stuff like that, and I managed to make it work. So I would encourage you to give it a whirl.
