No, I'll have to wait for someone from the site (probably Lack) to look into it and fix it (maybe by just uploading the old xml's).

And it doesn't only affect BOB, clickable maps doesn't work on those maps either afaik.

I hit the 'update available' flashing message and BOB has disappeared. I tried downloading it from the site, tried disabling it and enabling it. BOB is nowhere to be found - the menu is gone, it doesn't load - NOTHING!

The Greasemonkey icon tells me that it's enabled, but BOB is nowhere to be found.

HELP!!!

I can´t get my BOB to work on any map what so ever. It just keeps loading and saying initializing BOB forever. I have the latest version of firefox and I have tried to reinstall the BOB without success. I have BOB 4.7.8. So what to do?

I am having the same problem, just started a little bit ago, it was working fine this morning.

by **sherkaner** on Mon Jul 13, 2009 11:26 am

me too. Looks like they changed maps.conquerclub.com back to www.conquerclub.com/maps (without telling anyone).. (http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=85845).
I kinda assumed it would stay maps.conquerclub.com, so now BOB is looking in the wrong place for the files..

Same problem over here.

Had an update on vista today, service pack 2. Isnt related to that i guess.

by **cowboyz** on Mon Jul 13, 2009 11:51 am

yups, same problem

by **Potent Potables** on Mon Jul 13, 2009 11:52 am

I went into the script and changed the line for maps.conquerclub.com/ to http://www.conquerclub.com/maps/ and it is working now.. you can modify it yourself or wait till they release a new version.

Thx, that helped

by **sherkaner** on Mon Jul 13, 2009 11:59 am

I was working on more fixes, so the update actually contains more fixes.. But that's basically what I've done for now.

by **cowboyz** on Mon Jul 13, 2009 12:03 pm

I'm not sure why, but since some time I can't use BOB because of strange problem: it freezes on "Parsing XML" status. :-(

It spins activity scroller with label "Parsing XML..." for ever. :-(

That's what I've got in console:

4 ms:Starting
33 ms:Player IDs
41 ms:Map Analysis
43 ms:Starting Request XML for Iberia
46 ms:Building the Settings Menu
14384 ms:Received XML response

Any ideas?

by **chipv** on Tue Jul 14, 2009 8:38 am

Parsing XML problems should be ok on the 4 afflicted maps most notably Philippines.

(Pelopponnesian,WWII Europe and Europe 1914 were worked around already, I believe)

Hi,

I had BOB version: 4.7.3
1. The last item on my BOB menu was a flashing red text: "Update Available"
2. I clicked on it and installed (or at least attempted) to install the newer version.
3. The update/install window showed up and I clicked on "install".
4. A small window quickly flashed on the screen.
5. I cleared the cache and cookies and restarted firefox.
6. Went to CC page and logged in: No BOB was installed.
7. Went to http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/52341 to get the most recent BOB version (4.7.9) and installed it.
8. Repeated step 5.
9. Went to CC page and logged in: BOB version 4.7.3 is installed again and the text "Update Available" flashes.

What the hell am I doing wrong?

I found a weird bug on Age of Merchants (I'm not sure it's a BOB-bug or something wrong with the xml): When I hover over a port, BOB tells me, that it is normally connected to all docks (but docks can't attack ports, so it should be shown as one-way attack). For port-port it's the other way around, these connections are shown as one-way connections, even though they are two-way connections.

btw: When I hover over a dock, the one-way connection to ports is correctly shown.

cheers,
Marc

I had some issues with 4.7.x-4.7.8. Had to turn it off. 4.7.9 is working nicely.

Says the guy about to submit a bug report

I know. A very minor bug. Aside from minor fubars getting patches out, it's the first obvious one for me.

Basically, when the player has under 5 minutes and the countdown is flashing, Bob switches the time to a string of NaNs.

Turns into: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=2 ... =683356812 (or

Not a biggie, though,

My map inspect is not working properly. In my own games it tells me what the card value is, but if I look at someone else's game I have to do it the old way--look through the log. any ideas?

I found similar behaviour on Egypt: Valley Of The Kings, which prompted me to look through some other maps with one-way attacks and on some of them it worked correctly while it didn't on others. Here are my observations:
- Of the maps I tested (Age of Merchants, Valley of Kings, Pearl Harbor, Europe, Asia, San Francisco, British Isles and Circus Maximus), it worked correctly on those that have exactly one country that can be attacked one-way (Europe, Asia, San Francisco - the latter has 3 routes on which you can attack one-way but all lead to just one country, namely Alcatraz) and failed to work on all other maps.
- It fails only for countries, that attack one-way and not for those that are attacked one-way. That means if there are countries A and B with a connection A ---> B, when I hover over B everything is displayed correctly, but when I hover over A something is wrong.
- The bug only occurs with one-way attacks and not with bombardements.
- Map inspect below the map shows the correct information, it's just the symbols overlayed on the map that are affected.

That's as precise as I can descibe the bug right now, I hope it helps in finding it. My guess is that there is some index off by one when there's more than one country that can be the target of a one-way attack.
