Re: BOB 5.2.2

I´m having a problem with snapshots too, very similar to what Swifte described above. Many terrs suddenly showing neutrals (many 4s, but also 1s and other counts), my own troops suddenly in terrs I never held, etc. Also snapshots I am taking right now are screwed up in the same way. My team-mate in those games having the same problem.

Downgrading to 5.2.0 didn´t solve the issue. New upgrading to 5.2.2 neither. Any ideas ?

I think the new problems are related to the Fog of War changes, now being listed as "Fog" or "No", somehow, somewhere. It used to be in fog games where it would show opponents as being something like 13/25 Regions. Now it just shows 13.

Is there anyway that 'Strength' could now reflect the round limits determination of wins?

It's just number of armies, right? I haven't had a game that was decided through round limits yet, so I'm not sure.
At least that number is already in the table, so that doesn't need a column. But I might remove the strength anyway, it isn't that useful.

And btw, just updated the script.

I like the strength value. It combines number of troops with number of territories and some other values, I think, and I find it a useful gauge of who to watch.

You seem to be having the exact opposite problem of most people since the site update.

Yeah, so I thought if it could tell who round limits deems the winner, that could be useful on who to watch out for.

I thought it was a product of terr * region as well, since I remember lack mentioning something about a formula he used, but perhaps he did just use most troops

just checking, but i´m afraid there is no version for Chrome right? switched browsers recently and its a pain to switch back to firefox every time i play a hard game :p

also, the strength is Troops + troops Due - (Regions*(2/3))
i believe the region number gets counted as negative because for each region there's an army which can't be used to attack with, so that army counts only for 1/3rd.

Updated the opening post. Chrome doesn't require greasemonkey, just install it through the direct link. The same script works for both browsers :).

You are the first to complain, so I hope this is specific to you
Do the menus show up on game pages?
And which version of FF are you using? (I might have used something that has a slightly different name in older ff versions)

Re: BOB 5.2.3

i notice that when playing games the assault/enforcment box at bottom left of screen seems to auto-size to the same size as the map you are playing.
A couple of times now when playing, i have inadvertantly (through not watching carefully) hit the end enforcement button instead of the enforce button because the enforce button has moved to the line below and left justified.
Is there any way to set this box size so that it spreads out fully across the screen instead of it squeezing itself up and buttons move to the next line i.e. i would like the buttons on the right of the drop lists not spread over two lines?

it's the HUD you're talking about, and in the BOB-menu there's an option to set the minimal HUD width (default set to 600, but can be increased to 1200). So yes, it's possible.
