Unless someone wants to update it. I don't feel like updating Bob :pelfish_lad wrote:So... not being a person who understands the changes in tech... is BoB done now?Dukasaur wrote:Don't feel bad.

Re: BOB 5.3.0
Fair enough.
Is there a toggle switch to turn panels on while in game? I know that if you have them on you can turn them off through settings while in game.
Thanks.

Re: BOB 5.3.0
No, there's no switch to turn them on or off during the game. You have to go to setting in the main (left side) menu.elfish_lad wrote:Fair enough.

The only in-game panels switch is "Reset". That puts them back in their default position. It's useful if you've been playing around with the position of the panels and you're not happy with the results. Then you can just press "Reset" to put them back where they started and start over.

Re: BOB 5.3.0
The reset button while you are in a game and under "settings" doesn't work, as soon as you select for instance "Text Map", it give you a Map inspect view, however when you click "Reset" and go back on your map it still shows the Map Inspect view....pretty annoying, reported a while back but never got fixed.Dukasaur wrote:No, there's no switch to turn them on or off during the game.

Re: BOB 5.3.0
Ok. Thanks guys. I’ll just keep playing around with it.
Re: BOB 5.3.0
I have had my update flashing for a long time now and I resisted the urge to upgrade and my old BOB works like it always did.....just fine
Re: BOB 5.3.0
For those who are using bob, are you able to use the keyboard to start, refresh and end turn ? Not working anymore for me...

Re: BOB 5.3.0
great offer, but it's a pity that it was a long time ago. It seems to me that in such a strategy it would be possible to apply the manual from http://writemyessaycheap.us/

Re: BOB 5.3.0
When I click the Get BOB link it just goes to a white enter long text box.
I've installed it in the past with no problem, but recently returned from a long break.
I have tampermonkey, using Google Chrome.

The new panel interface, which you can enable in 'settings' is basically BOB integrated. I'd recommend that.Aba wrote:When I click the Get BOB link it just goes to a white enter long text box.

But as Extreme Ways said the new panel interface is basically BOB integrated (litterly copypaste base code)
otherwise you can get bob here. http://zack.st/Userscripts

Re: BOB 5.3.0
its been replaced by CC's own version called "panels". worse than BOB was, just like CC's version of clickable maps. but serviceable. turn them on in settings and then customise them with the arrows.DrFunk wrote:I am a big BOB fan and have noticed the past week or so it loads sometimes but not every time ?

Seems useful as better than printing screen each time or turn..
But what annoyed me the new table for players states a bit large & the button for taking turns.

1. they used icons instead of telling us (spoils-troops-regions-troops due)
2. the place of the spoils, below the time, and they used to be below the map
(it is far better to be below the map)
3. the place of the chat, make it so small
i think it would be better, to just return game settings/spoils + chat to their place and everything would be fine

Re: BOB 5.3.0
I'm i'm trying to use it
even i need to slide to 'action' to take the turn, then back to over-view to reconsider my main actions..
it's a bit strange and uncomfortable

Re: BOB 5.3.0
I'm coming back from a long hiatus. None of the BOB links work for me, on either Firefox or Chrome. Is there someone who can PM me with a troubleshoot?

Anyone able to link to a source that's still alive in 2024?
Re: BOB 5.3.0
Hi I'm using Chrome and when I click no "Get Bob" link it takes me to a page with an open text box but nothing else. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
