BOB version 1.2 [was CC Greasemonkey script - unofficial]

by **Abishai** on Sat Aug 04, 2007 10:23 pm

I did not read all 35 pages. (Only a few.) I do not understand how to make the changes even after reading them. I was told if I just deleted the old script and loaded the new I would be good to go. The problem is I do not even know how to delete the old script. Can someone help me. I miss my color blind option. It is a bit harder to play without it.

I was doing some more playing to see if I could figure things out. I click on the little monkey in the corner and found a line the said manage user script. I then could delete all my scripts. So I am going to add bob's and see how it goes.

Yeah it works.

I have to ask what the reasoning behind the strength calculation is. It is currentArmies (how many you have) + expectedArmies (how many you will get) - (territories * (2/3)). Which as far as I can figure, means that every territory you have reduces strength. Can I ask the reasoning behind that?

I think it is because, generally speaking, armies spread over larger areas are weaker and have more borders to defend... the score does not take into account the geography of the map.

I could be wrong though...

ummm, mine stopped working just now, going into panic mode......

I just made the game chat run on AJAX. Must have broken BOB. Sorry I didn't think it would. Someone should come up with a fix soon enough.

So you were tinkering with the system. No wonder why CC wouldn't even open. And I miss my BOB. Thanks a lot lack. :cry:

I have not been able to use BOB in a week. (my computer is boxed up). I miss my BOB!!!

by **narominded** on Mon Aug 13, 2007 11:02 pm

Yep, Lack changed something. I cant figure out exactly what it is any ideas?

by **Night Strike** on Mon Aug 13, 2007 11:04 pm

Someone will come by and fix it for us eventually.........for now, take as few turns as possible. :shock:

if u actually took the time to read about 3 posts from this, then u will see that lack said that he made the game chats run on AJAX and it broke BOB, no fix as of yet, cause it just happened like 10 minutes ago.

You weren't talking about me were you???

I looked at the code, and it looks like it has nothing to do with the game chat. Lack made a separate change in the way data on army positions is passed to map.php, and the script can't parse the new format.

Disclaimer: I'm using an older version of the script with some custom changes, YMMV...

It's not just BOB. I went back to Troy's script while the whole countries/territories thing was sorted out in BOB, and now I've got nothing.

Except, like neph, panic.

Next thing you know, we'll have to play this damn game on a piece of cardboard using actual dice.

by **narominded** on Mon Aug 13, 2007 11:53 pm

Yep, I hope someone knows how exactly to fix it. All I have ever taken is 1 java script class, well, and a second one that I failed. I found this code

/*---- Check for Required Components ----*/
var logDiv = document.getElementById('log');
var rightside = document.getElementById('right_hand_side');
var dashboard = document.getElementById('dashboard');
var map = document.getElementById('inner-map');

//If we cannot find any of the following just quit out.
if( !( logDiv && rightside && dashboard && map ) ) return;

I was only able to find document.getElementById('log') on the game script. I could find the items ('right_hand_side') and the others but there was no pretense of document.getElementById() before it. I really know nothing about programming I just enjoy playing around with it and trying to understand a fraction of it. Anyways, if some1 has a solution that would be great. Else, GL to us all.

i fixed it temporarily, for myself at least

find the line:

var mapSize = armiesArr[0].split(/resolution=/)[1].split(/&/)[0];

and put after it:

mapSize='S';

if you use small maps or

mapSize='L';

if you like large.

i'm sure someone will fix it properly, but that's a quick fix

I had to put mine before the code like so:
//alert(armiesArr[0]);
var mapName = armiesArr[0].split(/map=/)[1].split(/&/)[0];
mapSize= 's';
var mapSize = armiesArr[0].split(/resolution=/)[1].split(/&/)[0];

// alert('http://www.conquerclub.com/maps/'+mapName+'.xml');
But it seems to be working thus far. Thanks Rabbiton

It runs quite a bit slower though too. Oh well at least it works!

I rolled back my changes that broke this script, so everything should work as it did yesterday.
