Re: BOB Bugs
I've noticed there is a problem with the Solar System map. The map inspect says that 'Jupiter's High Orbit' can only attack 'Jupiter's Low Orbit', which is right. However if the cursor is on 'Jupiter's High Orbit' it shows that it borders with 'Jupiter's Low Orbit' and can only attack 'Chariklo'.

Re: BOB Bugs
Just downloaded the latest update for BOB (version 4.8.1) and I see all my armies double.

Under the Map Options menu of BOB, click on the Map Align Left or Map Align Top buttons. This shifts the numbers that BOB displays. If things start getting worse, keep going: the pixel count will go to about 20 (or -20) then jump to -20 (or 20). With some trial and error, you can usually clean things up.
Re: BOB Bugs
On peloponnesian (beta) FOW with version 4.8.1. BOB shows "last bonus" but does not count autodeploy bonus even if it´s mentioned in the log?
not sure if it´s a bug or if it has been mentioned before

I installed the latest update 4.8.1 and the problem of the disappearing menu has been fixed. Thanks.

Is there a way so I don't have to align the map on every game? That does work, but I have to do it each time I go into a new game.
Thanks!

Yeah, that works, but I have to do it for every turn I take in my active games
Btw: there are more people with the same problem....

Same prob. The fix works but its per map. I'm trying to come up with a reason I would want to do this only on one map.
Maybe this could be made a global option?

Re: BOB Bugs
you have to keep clicking until you get to +2 for each map you play on. it goes -1, -2, -3 et until -22 then counts down from +22, +21 etc
for what its worth i too am having this problem.

Re: BOB Bugs
Hmm, I was trying to prevent that behaviour. Looks like I was off a little (though it works on the 3 computers I normally use.).
Ehm, could someone install this version (just click on the link), and tell me whether they still need to offset things:
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/52700
Btw, changed the map-top and map-left to be global too in the beta, and in the range -4 to 5. Should make it a bit easier to correct.

Autodeploy bonusses were never in the last bonus, but I'm going to add that in the next version.

Good catch, I failed to see that (it doesn't happen on most maps). Should be fixed with 4.8.2.
Re: BOB Bugs
Just installed 4.8.2, but the army numers now appear over the menu on the left of my screen, and as a result of that I can't click on the menu, and so also can't correct the position of the army numbers.
Edit: When I use the large map it is OK, but when I use the small map the army numbers appear at the completely wrong position.

Re: BOB Bugs
that is strange, for me it looks like the problem is fixed. Forza, in which game does it happen with you ?

Indeed strange. America should get active again now, so I'll wait to see whether there are more people who have this. I'm hoping for a 1-time fluke, but expecting the worst..

It happens in all my games, and now also with the large maps.
Edit: I even reinstalled Greasemonkey and BOB, but still no effect. The army number keep showing to the left top of the maps. I am back now at BOB 4.7.3. At least that works normal for me.

Well, I didn't have any problems, but I thought I would experiment to see if I could help isolate the problem. When I used the Map Options to shift the numbers, they did cycle as expected (with the new short 5 pixels each way cycle). But the Reset Map Options only changed the pixel values in the menu. It did NOT move the numbers back where they belong. (Map Opacity works as it should.) I had to continue clicking to get back the pixel values back to zero. Luckily, the script did seem to remember the value it had prior to the unsuccessful reset, so I could cycle around until it read zero and end up with my numbers clean. I have not had my numbers shifted so far that they appear on the left menu.
Perhaps there is an interaction with other scripts (Clickies, Map Rank, ...): those with problems should disable the other scripts for a start.
Just for information's sake, I am using BOB 4.8.2 on Greasemonkey 0.8.20090123.1 on Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20090824 Firefox/3.5.3 on Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2.
I hope this information helps.

Re: BOB Bugs

already got it, thnx

Re: BOB Bugs
I just updated BOB and it doesn't seem to be calculating the "last bonus" correctly for everyone. For example, in game 5648321it's telling me that godiva1998's last bonus was 6, but that was two turns ago (last turn they received 3). I've noticed it a couple other times, too. Is anyone else having this problem?

Yeah, I noticed it like 2 mins after putting 4.8.2 online, and changed it after 4 mins or so... Stupid mistake. Just reinstall by clicking 'Latest Version Installed' solves it, though most people should have gotten the right version.
