Conquer Club

I just updated BOB and on the previous previous I had running it told me the objectives on the Beta map Third Crusade, but with the update it doesn't show at all.

Hmm, I guess you play with map opacity below 100%, I actually drew the circles (circle whiteness option) when that was the case, even if you didn't have that on. That doesn't make a difference on my systems, but it could impact yours I guess. Updated the script to not draw the circles when it doesn't make sense to do so.

Thanks, updated.

Gonna wait 1 more day to see whether more bugs show up, then I'll update the script number again. But if you update now, these things should work again.

the scrollable text map link doesn't seem to work.

Thanks for reporting. Luckily I checked all options this time, and noticed this one so I already noticed it myself. New version available.

Not sure if this is a result of getting 4.9.5, but I just got the update and noticed that my snapshots were out of order. They seemed pretty random...

I was having a problem with BOB after updating it, so I reverted back to an older version and I'm waiting a bit before I update again.

They were random, if you update again it will be sorted again.

all these updates are a bit annoying., i must say.

Hi! I have the latest version of BOB, and from what I can see there should be a Text Map option. Only problem is it's missing in my BOB Menu.

I may mention I'm using Windows 7, 64 bit, Firefox 3.5.5 and BOB 4.9.6. I also believe I have the latest version of Greasemonkey.

Can someone help, please? I feel a little lost without this feature.

Hmm, I'm guessing you've just started using BOB. If not, just ask again.

It should still be in the menu, but only when you're on a game page. If you're on such a page, click the 'View Options' submenu under the BOB menu, and it should show a few options, the 3rd is the 'Text Map' option. (Btw, I consider it easier to use the map inspect.)

Agreed. I'm not doing a good job at keeping the number of updates low.
Good news is that I've finally fully changed the script to how I would like it to be, and it became 40% smaller as a result.

Related news: I haven't let the flashy thing flash, but the 'Reload to live'-option in the snapshots-menu was broken too (and the sorting was still broken for some), so I changed that and upgraded the version number. 4.9.6 is the fixed version. If you have 4.9.5 (and are bothered with the bugs), and press Latest Version Installed, it will upgrade to 4.9.6.

snapshots aren't sorting properly (not by date). i haven't changed my usage in the past few versions, so i'm guessing it's been broken by the last update or so.

I am having major snapshot difficulties.

my last 10 or so snapshots have disappeared and have been replaced with ones I deleted a while ago.

What you're saying is something BOB is incapable of actually, maybe Firefox rolled back its preferences for some reason. That would explain the disappearence/reappereance of some snapshots.

OK, but the "revert to live" button is not working.

could this be a problem with my computer?

thx! snapshots sort now.

i seem to have a problem installing 4.9.6.

when i click on the "Update Available", there seems to be a small window and a larger window trying to open, but it automatically closes on itself immediately. Nothing gets installed.

can't seem to figure out why. can anyone help me with this?

thanks

You may have pop-up blocker installed or something.
Basically, you need to visit this link to install the script.

Hey, is there any way of getting BOB to work in Opera? It can supposedly handle Greasemonkey Scripts, but it's not working for me. Cheers.

BOB uses the API alot, which creates some problems.. The script mentioned doesn't suffice.
I tried to get BOB working for other browser by making a version that forgets about the API, viewtopic.php?f=59&t=97996
I tested it as a bookmarklet, but I don't think I tested it for Opera as mentioned. Basically I removed everything that gives the possibility to store things, which means it has no BOB menu and the options are fixed. I could improve a bit on that now, but not much. And since people didn't seem too interested in that thread, so I didn't put extra efford in that.

i thought of using opera alongside firefox to account sit. if other people would like to have one browser per user so both can be used in the same day (and so u don't forget that u'v switched users when u refresh a page in another tab, e.g.), perhaps opera would become more popular. in this case, there might be more argument for bob on opera.

Hmm, that BOB lite sort of works. It just seems to have issues when trying to actually play the game! I have to refresh the page after every dice roll/any other action. Ah well.

Hmm, I'm adjusting BOB at the moment since lack is gonna do a small site-update that breaks BOB. I'll try to take a look at BOB lite after that (since I'll have to update it to get it to work anyway). I'll try to use cookies this time, so the settings can be stored. But storing snapshots still creates too many problems.

Btw, from now on: If you update, you'll get version 4.9.7. It works now, except for some minor things. It will work after Lack's update (and 4.9.6 and previous versions will fail).

why does the tab on the right side of my screen keep flipping out?

it goes up and down every second....very annoying.
