BOB comments (old thread)

[kuma32478]

I am too. As of today. My computer updated itself last night

[s3xt0y]

same problem

[Night Strike]

It's from BOB because there is a new data field on the My Games page (Round Limit). The script will have to be updated and this is NOT a site bug.

[Dako]

Moved to tools.

I think BOB will be updated within days.

now i have to do the math in my head....

[Woodruff]

Operating System: Dell with Intel inside
Browser: Fire Fox
Scripts/third party programs used: BOB

Concise description: My active game turn expiration clock for all games show: Tomorrow @ NaN:NaN am

I have no clue as to what time NaN:NaN is. Is it French?

That's the new Bowzer Clock.

Okay, folks, since sherkaner is on vacation, we have two choices: live with this problem for three weeks, or try fixing it ourselves.

I have found the line to fix. If you do not know what you are doing when it comes to editing user scripts, you might just want to wait till sherkaner can fix this. If you do know what you are doing, you only have to change one character, a "1", to a "2". For some context, I have copied a section of the BOB script here and added some comments to make the change obvious. Take a look at this:

Code: Select all

function updateMyGamesClock(elements) {
      $(elements).each(function (){
            var currentHTML = this.innerHTML,
                  time = currentHTML.split('<br>')[2].split(':'),
              //                                   ^
              //                                   |
              //                                   +--< that was a 1, modified by ender516 to a 2 to
              //                                   deal with Round Limits changes to My Games page
         targetDate = new Date(),
         secondsLeft = parseInt(time[2],10) + parseInt(time[1],10) * 60 + parseInt(time[0],10) * 60 * 60,
         additionalClock = $(this).find('.additionalClock');
      targetDate.setTime(targetDate.getTime() + (secondsLeft * 1000));
      if (!additionalClock.exists()) {
         additionalClock = $('<span class="additionalClock"></span>');
         $(this).append('<br />').append(additionalClock);
      }
      additionalClock.html(getAdditionalClockInfo(targetDate));
   });
}


The spacing in this code may not be exactly the same as in your copy of BOB, because TAB characters get expanded differently in different environments, so I replaced some here with SPC characters (spaces). I needed my little ASCII arrow to point to the right thing.

Sherkaner is on vacation, but I have proposed a temporary fix here.

[nippersean]

it's the same for me. Does it mean my Nan is sitting my account? This is a worry, she is blind all ready and is 100 this year.
Just hope the dice are good. Go for it Bettie!!

[Masli]

The fix works great! Now if only the Map Rank could get fixed too!

Thanks ender!

[Namor]

Thanks ender. You made that simple enough for this self-confessed noob.

Where do you go to edit the script?

[ender516]

Where do you go to edit the script?

Well, I don't want to sound too high and mighty, but if you don't know that, I wonder if you should be messing with it. However, if you are really game, then you need to:

1. Find and select the Manage User Scripts... menu item (under Tools|Greasemonkey, or in the drop down menu from the Greasemonkey icon in your address bar (well, it's in mine, anyway)
   • The Add-ons dialog box will appear.
2. Select "Conquer Club - BOB" and press the "Options button"
   • The Greasemonkey User Script Preferences dialog box will appear.
3. Click the "Edit this User Script" button (big wide one at the bottom)
   • An editor should appear. This will vary with your personal preferences.
4. Find "function updateMyGamesClock(elements)", go down to the line I pointed out, change that "1" to a "2", save the file and exit the editor.
5. Click OK on the Greasemonkey User Script Preferences dialog box.
6. Close the Add-ons dialog box.
7. Refresh or reload your My Games page.

No, Nan is not sitting, but as part of an anti-multi campaign, we are checking IPs, so you must go to your Nan's house to log in.
