Does this answer your question?:

This is because I've not updated the support script - this is so that I can wait til the update has been widely accepted before I prompt people to upgrade.

yes, thank you

OK - I'm going to release the latest version on the unsuspecting masses...

so I don't have a game to test this update on buuuuutt

I was wondering about the possibility of being able to choose the width of the floating action bar? Or, at least having one where it goes all the way to the right like it would when it doesn't float.

I like having the end buttons all the way to the right of the screen. to me, the itty bitty gap we have now is just not satisfactory. the point of having the end button all the way to the right is so I only go towards it when I'm ready.

yes. I can turn on confirming buttons, but that's not the point. I want to be able to use the floating action bar just like it does when it's not floating.

this post might sound like a demand, but it's just a "I'm not going to use this feature until something changes post" even though I love the floating action bar

At the moment the maximum minimum form width is 1000 pixels... I thought that would be enough?

I could make that bigger?

Or I could make the maximum a special 100%?

In which case it will go to the end - again - it will look nasty though!

I think it'd be worth a look at the very least

Actually - I think you're missing something here...

In the latter versions of 3.5 I added "Minimum Form Width"

So this means you can change the Action Form's minimum width to be wider than the map... (with a mimimum of 600)...

Can you try changing this setting and see how you like it - that will give you more gap on the End buttons?

I'm guessing that might solve the issue. I didn't know it was adjustable.

in the turns I was just taking earlier the gap did seem a lot smaller than before. So, I guess when it became adjustable, the default was smaller than you had it before.

Minimum is 600 or map width...

I think there are a couple of maps that need more than 600 - WW2 Western Front I think...

But it all kindof depends on what's in your drop downs...

Personally, I'd like the floating bar to be the same width it would be if it is not floating.

i like it the way yeti has it now - neat and tidy no scrolling and very compact

About the fog counter:

In 1vs1 games, it's off. Since I usually only play age of realms, I didn't figure why for a while, but apparently it's because it automatically divides the terits by the number of players in the game, not factoring in the third neutral faction.

Don't suppose this could be fixed?

Ah yes of course... missed that rule... certainly...

Top notch job mate, thanks.

maybe I'm doing something wrong. my action bar resets itself to the minimum 600 whenever I got to a new game.

It's a map wide setting... so it should be set differently for each map.

so once I set it for all my maps, I won't need to set it again?

are you running clickable maps with the action menu set to 'floating'? that could be causing the problem...

Might be an idea to allow users to set the "base" minimum for new maps.

Myself, I recode each version so that any new maps start at 1200, and also cycle from 600 to 1200....Haven't reduced any yet, all still are at 1200.

Hey Yeti, love the terminator points summary...

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?

Cheers

VERSION : 3.6.8

FIXED : The BOB Support Script has been removed from userscripts - so I've sorted out some new hosting.
Also made it so that if it fails again - it won't error - it just won't think there's an update.
Also removed the Check for during turns - it is only run on page init.
