yep sounds reasonable to me, no need to make it hidden IMHO bar a BR it will take up a max of 14 lines and since we became boys in the HUD only those genuinely interested in details like that scroll down now anyway.

Any possibility you could extend that as a point summary for all games, as it would make life -so- much easier for us tournament organiser types who need to see what order people were knocked out in, or who knocked out who. Having it summarised easily at the bottom of the page would be extremely helpful.

Cheers

Does the current terminator status bar list the players in order of elimination??

When coding, could you have the text read:

Code: Select all

Player X was eliminated by Player Y in Round #

This very simple format should cover most of the tournament scoring methods that organizers use.

For terminator games, there could be a sentence that states

Code: Select all

## points were exchanged

or something to that effect.

Possibly - at the moment all that gets jazzed out is the log messages that correspond to people being eliminated... (I guess I need to add anyone being kicked too)

I edited as you posted, if you could check that as well.

yeti_c, you will be my hero if you somehow figure out how to list who got eliminated by who and when. Seriously.

Why do I get the feeling that this is going to be relatively easy (or even just plane easy) for yeti. You're going to be eating your words Optimus.

By the way, I wasn't this ever suggested before, especially since some organizers use BOB strength to determine a winner in a long game??

I agree. Permanently on is fine.

Aside from the lack of space between "game in round", it looks pretty good. I assume that it would be slightly more difficult to transfer that point exchange data into something cleaner?

Optimus Prime · Post by **Optimus Prime** » Tue Jan 22, 2008 11:37 am

I presume the top example is what it will look like in a regular game then? If so, that looks great.

Yep... I renamed it to Elimination summary so that it doesn't look silly!!

OK I've released it to the Beta team...

I hoped to release 4.1.5 later today - but may delay until 4.1.6 gets more of a test!!

I think it was (good luck finding it though) - but I thought that it was pointless... as there was no points stuff... but then Tieryn showed me how useful it can be... so I decided that it should be added!!

I deleted my cash/ retested my BOB, but I still am not able to take my turn while using it.
If I attempt to, which having BOB turned on, I constantly need to refresh (after every move) in order to play.

Any thoughts yeti?

OK so I assume you have BOB installed - and that you have a monkey in the bottom right hand corner...

1st thing you need to check - is to see if you have more than one BOB...

So right click on the monkey and select "Manage User Scripts" - if you have more than one BOB - the best thing to do is just remove both and download the latest again. (remove by selecting and clicking uninstall)

Once you have the latest reinstalled - see if things are working...

If they are not - then you have some cached data...

OK there are 2 different caches to attempt to clear.

Tools -> Clear Private Data -> Select "Cache" & "Download History" -> OK

Tolls -> Options -> Network -> "Clear Now"

Now retest...

If this is still failing - then we have to go the really slow route...

goto http://www.conquerclub.com/maps

Open each XML file in turn - and press CTRL F5... This will ensure a refresh occurs on the XML.

When I click "install this script" or whatever it is, it just takes me to the XML itself, and not to a download thinggy.

And when I go to the monkey thing, it doesn't show that anything has been downloaded.
