BOB Bugs

[yowzer14]

Just noticed a small coding issue in your change to the toggleFormWidth()

Code: Select all

    var cur = getMinFormWidth();
    cur = cur-50;
    if (cur >= 1000) {
        cur = 1000;
    }
    if (cur >= 1200 || cur <= 599) {
        cur = 1200;
    }

The 1200 is redundant as the 1000 will preclude it.

Perhaps you meant...

Code: Select all

    var cur = getMinFormWidth(myOptions,mapName);
    cur = cur-50;
    if (cur >= 1200) {
        cur = 600;
    }
    if (cur <= 599) {
        cur = 1200;
    }

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?

This is the reason I'll probably need another update. I forgot to remove some code, which adds troops to the 'last bonus' when someone got the +2 if you own a territory and hand in that card. Fixed it in the code already, but I'm gonna wait with increasing the version a bit.

Lol, you're right, though it's an extremely small effect. But thanks for checking the code.

Does that mean that it will only overestimate the troops?

I just noticed a small quirk. When I entered the recently finished Game 5614770, the Elimination Summary was correct, but when I clicked to load the entire log, the elimination of [player]Charisma77star[/player] got dropped, and all the points were listed as awarded in round 6, instead of round 7.

Just installed version 4.8.2 and its does not work for me. The snapshot are not saved properly.

Scenario:
- Go to a game.
- Start BOB.
- Take a snapshot (the snapshot appear in the list).
- Leave the game page.
- Go back in the game.
- Start BOB.
- THERE IS NO SNAPSHOT LISTED (but the snapshot was saved).

I re-installed version 4.8.1 beta (link in a thread) and the problem still occurred.

It is working fine with 4.7.3.

Is there a way to install the version 4.7.9 again until this issue is resolved?

[railfrog]

Not sure if this is a BOB fault or not, but since updating to 4.7.7 the colours on the map that shows the number of armies in the territorys are not as clear as they were. They seem "smudged"

I have managed to fix this issue.
I am a bit embarrased to say that it was my fault all along and not a BoB thing.

The magnifying buttons ( Ctrl-, Ctrl+ ) in firefox went in one, ( honestly don't know how ) making the map slightly smaller and therefore the troop numbers looked smudged.

BOB 4.8.2

This is the log from the game and BOB displayed 10 for this bonus...

got bonus of 5 troops added to ?
received 1 troops for holding ?
received 3 troops for 3 regions
cashed in a group of Feudal Empire Castle, Feudal Empire 2, and Lake Minstello 6 worth 4 troops
got bonus of 2 troops added to ?
got bonus of 2 troops added to ?
deployed 8 troops on ?

They did have 3 regions so the bonus should have been 4 and not 10 as it shows in the table.

I am so glad you followed up with how you fixed the problem, railfrog. I had the same problem and did everything I could think of to fix it, including reinstalling BOB, turning off GreaseMonkey and even restarting my computer. All I had to do was press control and roll my mouse wheel one increment to enlarge the map slightly. Sheesh!

Strange BOB behavior at fog City Mogul game.

One of the players (who started 2nd) was calculated to have 0 starting territories so he was counted as dead when he haven't started yet and was not eliminated.

Agreed, fixed.

Ah, time for a version upgrade. I fixed this but didn't put up a new version, which created some confusion.

After update to 4.8.3 still showing wrong.
Look yourself (or am I bugged?) Game 5762004

[sherkaner]

... It's impossible how I can get things wrong..
You're right Dako, I consider it too minor to make 2 releases out of it (the bug was already present in yeti's script, so it took a while for someone to notice), fixed from now on. So if it bugs you, just reinstall/update.

[Dako]

Updated.

Great, now everything works! Thanks . Great to have such quick responses.

Yeah I knew about this one - but never got round to tracking it down!!

I am still having the same issue with BOB 4.8.3.

Can I get help with this issue?

You're lucky that I am not maintaining this script anymore...

(Double) Posts like this would have meant instant Ignore/Foe List...

Grow some gratitude and respect.

Hi,

I was just looking for help as this is a great script to use.
I was no longer able to use the Snapshot since version 4.8.2 (last one I used before was 4.7.9).

Thanks sherkaner for the support in resolving this issue.
The latest Beta script is working.

I don't see this in the last few pages of discussion, so it may have already been brought up.

I just started a Castle Lands 4p dubs with fog, it shows myself and my teammate as having 9(11) terits, opposition as having 8(11) terits (I can't see one of each of theirs). I am guessing it is using 11 because it doesn't know that there are 5 coded neutrals on Castle Lands? I don't know if this is something you want to fix, but for maps with coded neutrals it appears that it may mess up the army counts.

Yeah, you're right. Will be fixed in next version.
Problem was that it has 8 starting positions (in the xml) that are not neutral, and it seems to be the only map having that. BOB assumed starting positions were neutral (City Mogul has that). So 37 non-neutrals -> 9 per player, + 2 starting positions -> 11 per player.

[yeti_c]

You might not be able to fix this one...

In certain cases it is not possible to work out the amount of territories that people can get...

I believe the logic problem is detailed in this thread somewhere...

I knew about this - and decided to only code it one way - until a map came out that it didn't work on!!! Then I would fix it for that map - obviously Castle Lands is that map!!!

FYI, it's fixed after each player's first turn, it reads the log and displays the number of territories correctly. For clarification, everyone who has taken their first time has it show up properly, but if you haven't taken a turn it still shows up wrong.

As yeti said, It may be a simple fix if it's just Castle Lands.

Jake

[ender516]

I think the new Vancouver map has starting positions that are not neutrals. Will that lead to the same problem as the one you are discussing regarding Castle Lands?

[yeti_c]

More than likely.

I just took a couple turns in some team games, and Bob was not quite working properly. Hovering the mouse over "Team 2" does not highlight that team on the map. It works for Team 1, and for all players, individually, but not for Team 2, as a whole.

Edit to add - it happened in Game 5842411, and Game 5842432, but none of my other games seem affected.
