The config file got corrupted. Find it and delete it.

The latest version does have that feature.

Yes, it is normal for a .NET application. But also, the number in task manager is deceptive. Google it if you want to.

Never played it.

Believe it or not, I did not make that up. But it is relevant here. Instead of providing said option, I'm going to teach you to fish by telling you that Windows shortcuts already provides ...

I just updated my first post so that there is a link to the actual program before and after everything else in the message. Perhaps this will cause less confusion for the skimmers.

Hey everybody, sorry for being so MIA. Apparently CC is no longer notifying me of updates to this thread. And to those of you who know what the heck you're talking about, thanks for helping those who don't (or can't read).

As for the configuration errors that people keep getting, I'm not really ...

It was not a decision I made. It is automatic in the way the settings are tracked in the .NET framework. Sometimes it is annoying, but it does allow for the running of two instances with different settings. If you just figure out where you want to run the program from and be done with it, then it ...

You should not be seeing any of those error messages. My guess is that the config file that it is using when you run from that location has become corrupt. I don't know how that happens, but at least one other use has also had it happen. If you really want to run from that location, you can try to ...

I don't know what you mean by "work properly." What happenes when it is not in those locations? Due to the way the settings are saved, each place you run it from will have it's own set of saved settings. So you should be able to run it from anywhere but whatever place you chose, you'll want to keep ...

Alright, a new version is up. It has the alt-tab issue fixed and has the sound feature added.

I looked into the alt-tab issue briefly and unsuccessfully. I'll give it another shot and add the sound option, too. No promises on when.

Of course. Like any program, you can put a shortcut to it in your startup folder (under Start->Programs->Startup).

This would require that Lack add that information to the RSS feed. I have requested it before (at http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=166411).

Very nice, maniacmath17. I would not have guessed that outcome.

I have empirically confirmed your results.

Card counting fix:

Replace these lines:
log = log.replace(/<br>/g,'');//Remove HTML BR tags
log = log.split('\n');//Splits Each line.

With this line:
log = log.split('<br>');//Splits Each line.

Why would he do that? There are plenty of excellent random number generators out there that are several orders of magnitude faster than hitting some external site.

The "autoconfigure for ConquerClub" option is now based on the username instead of the userid.

I'd be curious to see a graph of the number of conquer club members over time. Does that information exist?

I just uploaded a new version to the same place (http://fantius.com/TellMeWhen.exe)

Changes include
1. A special icon to indicate that an error has occured (for instance if it is unable to connect to the URL that it is supposed to monitor).
2. The ability to enable/disable the monitoring.
3. Tray ...

gator24,
I agree, it would be nice if Lack would respond to my defense of his allegation -- either drop the charge or tell me how others (including myself) can verify what he saw.

Sign me up.

Wow, a lot of buzz surrounding this new map. Looks great, RJ. Keep up the good work. And props for listening to and considering all of these suggestions.

The reason I brought it up was that I started my turn, lost my internet connection, and then got it back after the hour time limit was up. I started my turn but never deployed any armies. I did not get to deploy the armies from that tuncated turn on my next turn (which I think is what happens if you ...
