BOB Bugs

[chewyman]

I've just installed BOB. The red squares and green circles thing isn't appearing, all I can see is the greasemonkey picture on the bottom of firefox. Whenever I open a game BOB works and gives me all the stats, but on the map all the army numbers are doubled. So if there was 5 armies on one territory I see the number 5 slightly above and to the left of another number 5. Hope that makes sense.

Try adjusting the alignment. Go into the game, and under map options you should see a vertical alignment and a horizontal alignment.

Note - Red square and green circles sounds like Clicky maps?!

Game number?

Thanks for the info...

I'll try and get round to debugging it sometime shortly.

Regarding the issues on the Wales map. My problem just suddenly went away.
I have no idea why and I the only territ I lost since it was last my turn was "Caerwent", but I conquered it myself on my last turn so can't see how that would have affected anything.

He's thinking of jonducrou's ConquerTell add-on.

[chewyman]

Yeah, sorry about that, I forgot that was a separate add on.

But the allignment problem is definitely an issue with BOB, since when I disable BOB it works perfectly. Tried using the allignment feature lancehoch mentioned, but it only works to move the problem numbers further left and upwards. There is no right and downwards allignment option, which is what I need to get the numbers to match up.

[Thezzaruz]

From the BOB hep/Info menu...

Map Align Left : -21 | ... | 22
Offsets the overlaid display of army indicators on the map by the specified number of pixels: Negative towards the left, positive towards the right, of the default position. Use to ensure that army indicators overlaid by BOB on the Conquer Club map are exactly aligned.
Map Align Top : -21 | ... | 22
Offsets the overlaid display of army indicators on the map by the specified number of pixels: Negative towards the top, positive towards the bottom, of the default position. Use to ensure that army indicators overlaid by BOB on the Conquer Club map are exactly aligned.

[chewyman]

Ah, thanks for that, didn't realise you had to get to 22 before it became positive numbers. I've installed BOB at least three or four times on this computer, so it's weird this hasn't happened before.

Anywho, everything is working fine now, thanks again.

I've fixed the problem on the Wales map.

It's not strictly speaking BOB's fault.

There is a trailing space in the Wales map xml on the territory Preseli or Amwythig.
This cause BOB to hang when it tries to do an exact match when doing the cards hover handlers.

You will see this problem of BOB hanging indefinitely if you have the card for Preseli or Amwythig.

If you want to fix this for now, fix is in line 4475

Code: Select all

title=title.replace(/ $/g,'');

So that section should look like this:

Code: Select all

      if (colourblind=="Y")
         title = title.substring(2);
      if (title.indexOf('&')>-1)
      {
         title = title.replace("&","&");
         title = title.replace("&lt;",/</);
         title = title.replace("&gt;",/>/);
      }
      title=title.replace(/ $/g,'');
              var c = countriesArray[title];

The problem will disappear if you cash that card so it may look like an intermittent problem that mysteriously goes away.

I will post this issue in the Wales thread.

I will post this issue in the Wales thread.

I've updated the XML for Wales, and whenever lack uploads it this issue should be fixed.

I've been getting this error, which I had assumed was the bug people were initially referring to:

What does this error message mean?

[Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIXMLHttpRequest.send]" nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame :: file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Ben/Application%20Data/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/0l57fvpg.default/extensions/%7Be4a8a97b-f2ed-450b-b12d-ee082ba24781%7D/components/greasemonkey.js :: getFullLog :: line 3446" data: no]

I'm still getting this (or something very similar) on a variety of maps... the ones I've made a note of so far are Wales, Charleston, Scotland, Great Lakes, Forbidden City... (and I'm sure there are others)... I'm beginning to wonder if it's something to do with lacks new hosting site - I've noticed that some map images can take a while to appear sometimes too...

Great work Chip - but wouldn't a trim be better rather than removal of all spaces?

If you;re not careful removing spaces *could* ununiqueify a name.

Add Iceland to the list

[yeti_c]

Sounds dubious Benn - does it happen *every* time - or just the odd time?

Hi,
I got the "creating statistics table" problem that was mentioned here, and I managed to solve it by turning off another (unrelated) scripted that I had turned on. For anyone else with the same problem I suggest to try and turn off all other scripts but BOB (in my case it was "videoembed")
HTH.

[iambligh]

Hi, I'm not sure if this has been touched on yet. Also, I'm not sure if this is exclusively a BOB bug or possibly clickables too, but here it is:

When I roll over the screen toward the bottom with HUD turned on, HUD will jump up to sort of "block" me from clicking. Another such bug occurs sometimes following a roll -- the dice will show up over the map and "block" again. Any way to keep it from "jumping"?

Sadly not - I know it can be a bit annoying - but you get used to it.

It's a shame there can't be a script to fix it because, i don't know, 1000+ games and I'm still not used to it...

Either way BOB is great overall; keep up the gw!

[clapper011]

not sure but..my gm/bob/clickies stopped working... just all of a sudden...just as if I have none of them installed yet all are on...
nvm.... had to uninstall everything and reinstall...

[STDADDIO]

i just installed BOB on MODZ but it will not allow me to deploy or continue a begun turn. I have had to use MSN which is slow. What do i need to do to fix?

Don't use IE - it only works in Firefox.

No idea what's gone wrong here. I've used BOB for a long time on this computer, but it seems to have just disappeared from the greasemonkey list. I try to reinstall it and the site tells me "Script could not be installed TypeError: item is null"
Any ideas?!
