What happened to CC BOB?

Post by Fuzzy316 »

[Q&A]
Hi everyone. I got a new update to CClub BOB today and now it no longer even appears on the CC website. I tried reinstalling but it does not show up. Using Firefox 3.6.25. Was fine last night and fine until I got the update just a bit ago... any ideas, or anyone else having issues?

[/Q&A]

and to add to that. I am being told that attacks and advances are illegal assault moves. Such as Chicago to Denver on the ARMS RACE map.. WTH?
FYI Disabling the Script for CC BOB allows me to attack with no problem.

i might be wrong as i haven't tried bob since the update but firefox might be your problem.

the latest version is 9.0.1 and you're stuck with 3.6.25

well... not exactly, it is the latest version, or close to it.. it is the way it shows up on your system. I downloaded firefox about 2 weeks ago, so I know it is not that outdated...

None of the greasemonkey scripts ever worked correctly with Firefox 4 or 5, so most of us who use them a lot had to stick with Firefox 3.

Haven't tried with Firefox 6, 7, 8, 9 because quite honestly the rate of change is getting ludicrous. I'm not reinstalling all my shit every two weeks. I'm hopeful that BOB will be patched again for Firefox 3, as it has been for the last six months. Failing that, I hope that Firefox will calm down at some point and settle on a version they intend to stick with for a few years, or even a few months. <sigh>

I have to correct you here. FF4 had an error that prevented popups from pure javascript (which map rank uses), but otherwise the firefox-versions haven't impacted the scripts. Greasemonkey itself had to update (the addon-compatibility needed to change, along with some smaller updates), and that caused some bugs, but after ff4 there hasn't been much change for them either. So now Firefox looks pretty stable, and comfortable on their 6-weeks cycle (with nice upgrades, like javascript speed improvements and better memory management, finally).
So I'm unaware of any scripts not working after ff5 was released (except because of site changes of course).

Yes, Dukasaur, I was once like you, trapped in the past. I finally decided to make the leap beyond FF 3.6 and it has gone just fine. There is a slightly different default look to the menu bar and such, but I think you can set the options so everything is familiar, and you can turn off the auto-update, so you could update to FF 9.0.1 and then stay there for a while, if that suits you better.

Well, I'll give it a shot. One of these days when I actually have time to re-install everything. So all the tools are being updated for FF 9.0 now?

yes, have to agree. downloaded and installed the newest FFox and it works fine again. strangely enough, the refresh button is no longer visible on the FFox toolbar.

Illegal moves shouldn't be directly related to BOB as far as I know. And I do have that version of FF for testing and as far as I recall, I could play without problems on that version (didn't check it at length though).

well.. after getting the BOB update, i had the problem. Then, I tried reinstalling greasemonkey, and BOB wouldn't work at all. However, downloaded and installed latest FFox and now no more problems.
