You can uninstall one and install the other. You just have to make sure that have "Also uninstall associated preferences" checked in GM. When I first installed yetibob over old bob, my map opacity was wrong for each map. When I uninstalled and checked that box and then re-installed yetibob I was able to get my settings to stick properly.

OK - I've just uploaded the latest version...

a) Fixed some continent stuff that I'd broken (it was incorrectly assigning some "normal" continents to the wrong people!)

TODO :

Map Inspect.
Bombardments
Confirm Buttons are a bit screwy!! <- I know why now too!!
Log problems.
a) Redemption increasing.
b) Missed turns increasing.
c) Terminator Summary repeated

FIXED :

a) Tweaked display on small/standard text map for multiple owners of same (required) continent.

TODO :

Map Inspect.
Bombardments
Confirm Buttons are a bit screwy!! <- I know why now too!!
Log problems.
a) Redemption increasing.
b) Missed turns increasing.
c) Terminator Summary repeated
Finished games have Map Inspect and Card Redemption Div in the wrong place.
Clock Format doesn't work <- does anyone care about this one?

How do you do that??? For a reference, I have Windows Vista.

the clock is nice to have, and I use it. but I wouldn't give it a real high priority. I'd rather see you use the time to work on the map inspect and save the clock for when you need something to do.

b) Missed turns increasing.
c) Terminator Summary repeated
Terminator Summary has now been moved to a new DIV so that I can update it when I need to.

Bear in mind this is a temporary fix as this has reverted back to old code - and therefore will be slow in long games

Speed up Logging.

The clock does work - but the format isn't changed...

I was referring to the old behavior of having the time of the next round underneath the time left....

example

21hrs 30mins 34sec
tommorow @ 10:58 AM <-- This

does this work and I have a problem with my settings?

play with the opacity settings. Well cycle through it seems to clear it up.

thanks a lot

Also can you rename the script file to anything other than "Conquer Club - Bob"? Because when I install it, it replaces the BOb script that I already have and I don't know where I got the current one, so its difficult to get it back.

Thanks!

Please!

Also about Continents override, I assume continents will be overridden in maps like World 2.1 etc where for example, for North America you get extra 3 armies then the total bonus applied together. So why not, not count the whole bonus and just give the individual bonus plus the extra bonus?

Con someone please help me with this mapfade issue. I clicked the box on uninstall of old BOB and did everything I read about, but i cannot get a clear picture.

Check out this game
http://www.conquerclub.com/game.php?game=817664

The blue player is in europe and the green player is in NA, but I cannot see how many armies are on each country no matter what I do with the fade option.

Please help.

Missed turns not working in newest version. It never increments (always on 0).

This is a speed game - Game #1047665

i was wondering if the slowness in older games is something that is going to be fixed?

Ya, that's a good one. The longer the game log, the slower it gets... Sometimes I'd have to wait 2 minutes before it would refresh after attacking...

I had a partial fix for this - but it didn't calculate some stuff correctly!!

Don't fear I will recode this to work better though.

Soz - the game is over - so I can't repro - it does work in my test game though - If anyone else can reproduce reliably please inform me ASAP.
