BOB Bugs

[yeti_c]

all i did was use the red flashing update BOB thing that tells you when a newer version is available... would this not replace current BOB version instead of installing alongside?

It should do yes - but this "double" highlightins seems to happen when 2 BOB's are installed...

Every time I enter a game, I get the message "Log Downloading Failed - Would You like to Retry?" When I click "OK" it loads fine, but it might be something to look into.

I get this too

ahem yeti

That's cos your security settings are disallowing the download of the log... (as mentioned before) - but now instead of failing the script catches the error and allows you a different method.

how do I change this?

[yeti_c]

I don't know what the setting is that is causing your problem... however - you can set "Full Logs" to On in the View Settings menu... THis will make full log loading happen if you load a game from the "My Games" page.

Yeah every time I enter a game that happens annyoingly, and every time I do something the screen flickers annyoingly as it's loading. TAKE IT AWAY!

NO AND NO.

Or perhaps I didn't make myself clear...

change it, it's happening to everyone. Just get rid of the nice loading feature, it worked before.

Well, you can always uninstall if it bugs you that much. I personally haven't had any trouble with the new version outside of a small glitch with the color dropdowns, which isn't a big deal.

[yeti_c]

"Login messages"? Yeah whatever... if you're getting login messages then you are reporting bugs in the wrong place... now run along.

If, however, you are complaining about a new feature of BOB that makes it work better and stops cretinous users causing errors before BOB is fully initialised - or people complaining how their browser freezes - etc... then you are complaining about "Change" so either suck it up - or don't use it... the "Please Wait" Functionality is here to stay...

Also you may want to read this thread - it tells you how to "avoid" the flickering between turns... and the next version may have a slight different version so that the flicker (loading screen for Textmap) between turns only happens for Conquerman games.

No the log downloading thing comes up

thank you for the clarification--and i do hope that you adjust for the flicker.

either way, killer plugin.

yeah yeti do something about it...

it's not like all of us can find a page of this thread...

Try looking.

This is a different issue... this is because your security settings are too strict for this site...

Try adjusting them...

If not you can turn "full log" to On - and then load games from your "My games" page and BOB won't have to download the log.

Once again - something else that is written in this thread...

isn't that gonna happen to everyone?

NO - it works fine for the majority of people.

I'm still getting the end-game points in my elimination summary, and in the game log. Is this intended?

god bless you yeti... if people aren't smart enough to count their own armies and figure out where maps connect, etc... what makes you think they'll be smart enough to install bOOb? i love coming here and seeing what is going on, sometimes it is more entertaining than the forums!!! you are a martyr!!!-0

p.s.-no, i still have not installed bOOb!!! still sucker free!!!

This is the BOB Bugs thread - please report any bugs in this thread.

The latest Minor version of BOB is 4.3 - the main feature of this was Snapshots.
The current patch version of this release is 4.3.6.

Since this was released the following versions have been released as patches to the current BOB.

Please note - that since 4.3.3 a new Logging system has been implemented - and any previous version will not work correctly.

Latest version is

VERSION : 4.3.6

FIXED :

A few speed ups for the log truncation stuff.
New Menu Option = Full Log - Turn this on for all game links to load Full logs on load... Doesn't work for "Click here to goto next game link"

Old versions...

C.

perhaps you should update this?

[Optimus Prime]

yeti_c,

Looks like even with the newest version (4.4.4) I still can't get the colors to turn off on the drop down menus when selecting territories and such? Any ideas?

I've tried toggling it on and off at various times, as well as refreshing and such. Can't seem to get it to work. On occasion it seems to kick in only for the second drop down menu, but for like one attack, and then it goes back to being colored. I'm not sure what it is.

Yeah - I've not looked into this yet... will take a look sometime soon!

Sounds good to me. Not a major thing by any means, just noticed it.
