If you haven't done it yet, here is what I did for my rebuild of BOB that I have not finished.

//Override sendRequest
var newsendRequest = unsafeWindow.sendRequest;
unsafeWindow.sendRequest = function(command) {
    /* ---    Confirmation Popups --- */
      if (((command == 'End Attacks' || command == 'End Fortification' || (command == 'Fortify' && !(dashboard.innerHTML.indexOf("Unlimited") > -1))) && myOptions['confirmEnds']) || (command == 'Auto-Attack' && myOptions['confirmAutoAttack']) || (command == 'Deploy' && myOptions['confirmDeploy']))
      {
         if (confirm("Are you sure?"))
         {
            return newsendRequest(command);
         }
         else {
            return false;
         }
      }
      else {
         return newsendRequest(command);
      }
   }

Override the sendRequest function to intercept the calls.

Nice one... I tried doing something that didn't override this but I failed...

WIll slip this one in later...

I downloaded the new one, and it doesn't work at all. I can't see the sideboard of controls when i am in a game, and it won't show up w/ the log, or card counter or anything. Yes the monkey at the bottom right corner is lit up. So i'm not sure what is happening

I'm having the same problem with the latest update so it isn't just you (or just me).

OK - I've just uploaded the latest version...

FIXED :
Confirm Buttons are a bit screwy <- Massive thanks to Ishiro... (Cos it's his code I've used!)
FOW Code now works <- sorry That was my fault for updating the script after I'd uploaded it to remove some work in progress code for Confirm buttons!

TODO :

Map Inspect.
Clock Format doesn't work <- does anyone care about this one?
Clock Parsing not always correct (Noticed with 08 and 09 times - anymore?)

FIXED :
FOW Code now fixed up a bit better... "Unknown" player had cards, missed turns and Strength -> all stuff they didn't need!! -> Also my FOW check wasn't quite right so non FOW games were displaying a bit weirdly!!

Update...

Map Inspect code is getting closer...

I have the positioning done and the hovers work... my only problem is that you can no longer click anything on the central screen...

Don't worry though - I will fix this!!

Yeti_c: i just downloaded the new BOB with map inspect - Awesome. Amazing work. Thanks so much for developing it.

I just wanted to point out that i see the word "undefined" in the top left of every map with this version.

crzyblue · Post by **crzyblue** » Tue Oct 30, 2007 2:41 pm

lol that's great... i just noticed that too, that it says undefined in the upper left corner... i never really look up there but it's there

yeti_c · Post by **yeti_c** » Wed Oct 31, 2007 3:44 am

Yeah I saw this last night... at the moment I've failed to get rid of it...

It's something to do with the map inspect as if map inspect is off - it doesn't appear!!!

It's minor - but it would be good to remove if possible!!

Yeti, one thing that isn't working for me, that the old bob used to do:

In the drop downs, when you select a territory, it would show you the color of the person on that territory, as well as the number of armies. I didn't see it on your to-do list, so I thought I would post it here.

Are you planning on adding this feature, or is this beyond the scope of your project?

This is tricky... the new changing drop downs kindof put paid to this feature in it's current guise... however I may be able to do something with it... However I fear that it might slow the script down a lot...

Once again thanks so much for this yeti.

The solution of lumping the "unknowns" in FoW together works well, however in trips it is working intermittently.

I have 3 FoW trips currently active. Pearl Harbor is working fine, but Battle of Actium and DDay, are missing their unknowns, the fifth player (normally teal) is displaying as black, and only showing armies (0) and territories (= unknowns + teal's).

I think we've reached a point where we have a decent AJAX-compatible alternative to BOB

Excellent work to all involved (especially yeti)!!!

As promised, I've issued premium rewards:
DiM, mfontolan <- 1 month each
EDIT: Ishiro <- 4 months
yeti_c <- 12 months

I hope the progress contines! In the meantime, Twill has a revamp of the plugins sticky on his to-do list so we'll help spread the script real soon.

Hmmm -> annoyingly I can't investigate without playing a game myself (cos the fog will hide anything!)

Any volunteers for a 6 player triples game with FOW on BoA?

==> 1124202 -> bobtest

PS I apologise that I won't be able to take turns at the weekend...

No maps have these at the moment, but Berlin (which should surely be quenched very soon) does.
