BOB comments (old thread)

[vodean]

Ever since I updated to 4.10.3 I can't play with BOB on. The script has "Initializing BOB" whenever I try to open a map and sits endlessly. I've let it run for 15 minutes before I gave up and just disabled it instead.

+1 - I'm getting the same thing. I'm on 4.10.3. Completely reinstalled BOB and still getting it on my laptop. Not getting this on my desktop PC however.

it uninstalled itself for me, then it wouldn't show the table...

Why did you start a thread here instead of posting in the BOB thread?

[Georgerx7di]

did something happen to Bob again?

the section that usually breaks down all the territories, shows all the continents, the bonuses, etc is missing.

Mine is fine right now, but it seems every other day that their is something wrong with it.

Well, the people who maintain BOB might not bother to read a "what the hell" posting. Posting in the BOB thread is much more likely to yield results, either in the form of advice from other BOB users, or an update that fixes your problem.

I have been using BOB for a couple of years, now with a new computer BOB says it installs but there is nothing there. no BOB menu. It shows in greasemonkey and is enabled bu I have no BOB.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times. Map Rank works fine. but I want BOB back.
anyone have a link to a recent older version I can try? or any ideas? oh I cleared my cache already.

TIA

Also when I click on the GET BOB link in the first post, instead of just opening the install window it takes me to the usercripts.org site. there is reference there to an older version as well as the newest one. This one is BOB 4.7.3 it will load onto CC but just spins on parsing XML, but it has an "update available" which when I use it says "installed succesfully" and once again no BOB at all.

First, I'd like to thank you for all your hard work on this script.

I don't know if this has been suggested, but one feature I'd like to see is the ability to hover over one of your cards and have that territory highlighted on the map. This would be a great help in nuclear spoils games on larger maps, where I always seems to scan it 3 or 4 times before I finally find the one I'm looking for.

I made this suggestion for the site in general, but I was told that I might get quicker results from suggesting it here. So, here is a copy of what I wrote there:

I don't know if anyone else ever makes stupid mistakes because they didn't realize they were playing a different type of game than their typical choice, but if they do, then this will help eliminate those mistakes. Or if you just have particular games you want to pay special attention to, this would also help.
Concise description:
* Make it so that players can color code the games on their My Games page, or even inside the games.
Specifics:
* There could be a check box next to the game (so you could select multiple games to color at the same time), and then a color box that you can choose from to make the background of those appear a particular color.
This will improve the following aspects of the site:
* I typically play one type of game on multiple maps. When I occasionally decide to play other types, I frequently forget that they are a different type (for example, when I tried nukes for the first time) and make huge mistakes because of that (like selecting all cards of places that I own on a nuke game...). By being able to make the background of those games a different color, it would help me to not make mistakes.
* By allowing the player to select the color that they want for the background, it would prevent the need to create colors for every different type of game (if someone plays that many different types, they likely read what one they are using anyway...).
* This wouldn't really help if you (like most people) use the jump to next game button, so if there was some way to include your color coding scheme inside the game (perhaps as the background behind player's names?), that would be even better.

Well, don't I feel dumb. I'll have to check it again when I get home. Maybe I had a setting turned off, or maybe I'm just slow.

Edit: I swear that wasn't working last night. Anyway...works great...never mind me...

Try to load previous version maybe? Can't really say what problems you have - please all of you, list firefox version, windows version, 32/64 bits, greasemonkey version.

Only after that info we will be able to help you out.

Tks.

Hi guys, I'm having the same issue. I was getting annoyed with how slow my computer is with the latest version of bob installed, so I thought I would try one of the older versions, then I lost bob completely. I've had to go back to the last November update before I could find a version that would show up in the menu bar, but however it won't accept the xml for most of the maps I play. But on the bright side at least the hud and the chat on top work ( which are two of my favorite features). hope this helps.
PS I believe I have the latest firefox and grease monkey intalled, and I use a mac with an old operating system 10.3.9
