BOB comments (old thread)

[Incandenza]

The new version seems to be working, but there's a small problem, the avatar swap in site options isn't working.

i can't get the snapshot to work with the new version

[Incandenza]

Actually, I take it back. Game 7052338 BOB seems to think everyone has every bonus.

EDIT: new BOB seems to have issues with Iraq as well as NYC

[rappel]

...sorry fonts have changed as well and they are not good for me. How do I revert?

[rappel]

worse, the attack drop downs are not refreshing properly.

...off to reinstall and try again...

[Angus Khan]

Bugs so far:
Click attack: Broken completely
Snapshots, interesting: The pictures that come up not only have the wrong colors, but have double the original number of armies on them, or they show zero armies, mostly with the color blue having the extra terits and armies.

hope this helps, sorry Lack broke stuff... again...

had to uninstall BOB and reinstall BOB along with Clickes. Now the clickies scroll for deply value is not working. Not sure if this should be here or with the clickable maps.

Snaps now working.

'Hide Menu: in Game', isn't

FYI ... I'm having trouble with BOB just initializing for play. Seems stuck in a loop. Can't get into my games ... unless I turn BOB off. NO fun in that.

Last answer I'll give today. Which version do you have installed?

Ok, I'll look into that tomorrow.

Minor issue with 5.0.1: The map opacity doesn't work once you leave the map. So if you decrease opacity to 40% when you leave and then go back to the map it shows up at 100% then if you click to decrease it will drop down to 30%. So it sorta works, but you have to click on the opacity every time you visit the map.

Yep, same problem here.

I went to the clickable maps thread (here: viewtopic.php?f=527&t=104488&p=2640203#p2640203 ) and re downloaded the newest one and it works now.. (did not need to uninstall just click link as if updating it)

I remember this problem from a ways back. I wish I could remember which version, it might help with finding it again.

As soon as I updated to BOB 5.0.1 clicky maps does not even show up on the left in game & is unusable. It does show CLickies installed in my scripts though.

I downloaded BOB 4.10.5 a month ago. Since I haven't succeeded to Update. When I click flashing Update Available, I can see something happens but no alternatives comes up. It's just a quick movement on the screen. After that Update Available still flashing. And it has been flashing since the day I downloaded.

Currently there's a vail over my games and a senter text saying Initializing BOB with a spinning symbol.

I'm having exactly the same problem and I've has Bob installed for years. I have to disable GreaseMonkey just to play. This just started tonight so I hope that this is temporary. Also, clickable maps has not worked right for months. My "target sights" have been off center. I need some help.

[lokisgal]

Bob doesnt work for me at all now
I have a mac os 10.4.1 running firefox- latest version etc

Before I updated it just spun and spun and said was intializing never stopped
after the update bob doesnt even appear on the game menu
Tried deleting bob from my addons and reinstalling - same problem
I can see everthing else including map rank but no bob
this really sucks
please figure this out soon

Don't forget, when you have problems with any plugin or addon, especially after an update, it's usually worth reloading the page (press the F5 key) and/or reloading while ignoring the cache (press Control-F5).

that only works for PCs not macs.......

[cisco2001]

I have the same setup as lokisgal, I'm running MAC current software and use Firefox. I have exactly the same problems.

Me too. I just red your post. I did turn BOB off.

Well, no doubt the Mac version of Firefox has a way of doing these things. Control-R, perhaps? Clear the cache via the Tools/Options dialog? Any Mac users care to share their specific expertise?

[sherkaner]

Ok, 4 problems so far if I read everything correctly:
1.) BOB doesn't work on macs.
2.) Map opacity per map isn't saved properly.
3.) Swapping avatars doesn't work
4.) Hiding menu in game doesn't work.

I consider the clickies-things to be unrelated to BOB (and I guess they will be in general).

first problem seems most important one. Please double-check you have version 3.5 of firefox (or above), if it doesn't work after that:
The script probably gives an error, which means something will probably show up in the error console (not sure how to open in on a mac, but it's in the tools-menu).
If someone could tell me that error, I could probably find out what is happening.
