how come it only happens on fog of war games?

Because the formula that counts the territories and parses for the word "for" only occurs under the condition of it being a fog game.

greasemonkey and BOB dont seem to work with the newest updat of firefox - 3.01

[lancehoch]

Killak, did you upgrade greasemonkey. The newest version is 0.8.20080609.0

[Killakazooma]

It wont let me, it comes up with error 203

player = demonfork
saw him play in a few games every game he is in BOB just reads NaN for him and will not give same info as does for other players in same game.
example 2966910
3045769
2986795
2924705
im sure there are more examples but i noticed all freestyle games he plays in it does this. is it a glitch or a cheat or is it considered fair play i which case shouldnt the plug in for that be available to all and made public? and by no means am i accuseing anyone of being a cheat just wanted to bring this to your attention.

This is caused by the player's name. demonfork, contains the word for which Yeti uses to find the armies for....I changed my Bob at line 3271

Code: Select all

NEW         var terrCount = log[i].substring(log[i].indexOf("armies for ")+11,log[i].indexOf("territories")-1);
OLD         var terrCount = log[i].substring(log[i].indexOf("for")+4,log[i].indexOf("territories")-1);

That will fix the NaN appearing because Bob reads the next characters for numbers and instead finds letters...NaN is Not A Number error response.

Same here, but im playing against Aforeal

How can I fix it?

You'll need to edit the BOB code.

-Right click the greasemonkey icon on the status bar.
-Click Manage User Scripts.
-Click Conquer Club - Bob in the list
-Click the Edit button.
-(If this is the first time you are editing a script it will ask for the editor, Notepad is located in C:/Windows/Notepad.exe)
-If you click edit and nothing happens, you'll need to do a couple extra steps to point to the editor.
- ************************************
- * ONLY IF EDIT doesn't bring up the script in the editing program of choice (Or if you want to change the program you use to edit scripts)
- * type about:config in the address bar and press enter.
- * in the filter box below the address bar at the top type greasemonkey
- * then find and right click on “greasemonkey.editor” and click reset
- * the edit button will now work
- ************************************
- Press CTRL-F to find ("for").
- Copy and paste the whole line in the code box of the NEW and replace it over the OLD
NEW

Code: Select all

var terrCount = log[i].substring(log[i].indexOf("armies for ")+11,log[i].indexOf("territories")-1);

OLD

Code: Select all

var terrCount = log[i].substring(log[i].indexOf("for")+4,log[i].indexOf("territories")-1);

- Then save the editted script.
- Refresh any and all tabs that are running BOB

Let me know if you have problems with this.

Yeah - cheers Yowzer... the problem with searching for words is that every now and then - someone comes in with a weird name!!

I'll get this patched and uploaded sometime this week!!

• This has happened from time to time before, but seems to be happening a lot this morning.

Specifics:

• Numbers are rendered in two places on the map, inside and outside the unit circles.

This will improve the following aspects of the site:

• This is a bug.

That'll be a BOB problem... however - as no-one else gets this - I suspect it's a problem with your specific install - i.e. you may have 2 - or you may have changed the co-ordinates for that map.

BOB now has the ability to "reset" the map co-ords should you wish to put them back to how they should be.

Actually - I'm wrong... (It IS a BOB issue)

This is due to Lacks latest fix of Tourney games - to have a tourney bar at the top.

viewtopic.php?f=4&t=31231

I'll see if I can run a patch in for this.

ok, now i came in this morning, and now in all of my tournament games there is tournament text at the top of the screen, and this misaligns the bob overlay. i realigned it using the options, but figured you should know

Ah right, so that's it. Didn't put that together yet, on my end it narrowed down to card games on British Isles.

Hi guys,

This is the first time I've had any trouble with the BOB plugin. Here's my problem. On some maps, the map shows an extra guy in each territory. For example, if there are 4 guys in territory X, then territory X shows two 4's, one on top of the other. I've already tried re-installing BOB and Greasemonkey. This just started yesterday and only only happens on certain maps, i.e., happens on Feudal but not Senate. Any help would be great.

My apologies if this question has already been addressed in an earlier post--but I couldn't find it.

Thanks.

It happens in tournament games because of the new label over the top of the map.

Is there anyway to avoid the problem?

[nikola_milicki]

any1 knows why??

[barterer2002]

I haven't found it yet. I'm thinking about heading over to IE to play cause I can't do it here

[lokisgal]

I have it on some maps and not others

Canada so far

You have tried the Map Options, then the Map Align Top, by repeatedly clicking the Map Align Top, the number will count down to -22px and then wrap around to a +22px. By continuously clicking that you should be able to get the numbers to align vertically. Once you do that BOB will remember that setting for that map. If need be, there is also a Map Align Left that does the same thing just in the horizontal direction.

No need to lower your standards and drop down to IE, a little time reading the help might have led you to the Map align options.

[Bones2484]

Dont play tournament games until Yeti can release a fix?

Or you could do one of the following:
-Set the map align top to 20 px for each map and then reset it for non-tourney games
-Turn off BOB
