but when im playing speed games and im typing in game chat everytime i type the letter e iit comes up with the warning to end attack etc. is this supposed to happen. cause hell annoying, it cost poo the game

no, this one isn't bob's fault--it's my clickable maps script. i'm getting pretty close to finishing the next version which will no longer have this bug. sorry again to all who have lost games because of this

Here's my version of a clock fix. Let me know if this works for all...

Code: Select all

In function countDown()
Replace
*******************
	clock.innerHTML = hours1+'hrs '+minutes1+'min '+seconds1+'sec';
*******************
with
*******************
	if( hours1 < 10)
	{
		clock.innerHTML = '0'+hours1+'hrs ';
	}
	else
	{
		clock.innerHTML = hours1+'hrs ';
	}
	if( minutes1 < 10)
	{
		clock.innerHTML = clock.innerHTML+'0'+minutes1+'min ';
	}
	else
	{
		clock.innerHTML = clock.innerHTML+minutes1+'min ';
	}
	if( seconds1 < 10)
	{
		clock.innerHTML = clock.innerHTML+'0'+seconds1+'sec';
	}
	else
	{
		clock.innerHTML = clock.innerHTML+seconds1+'sec';
	}
*******************



in the //    ---- Start Clock ----
Replace (all parseInt(time[x]) with parseInt(time[x],10))

Don't forget that this is JavaScript... a whole different beast to Java... Java is what I usually program in - the syntax is simlar... but JS is harder and easier in equal measures...

The main thing you need to know about JS - variables ('var' s) are not typed - until you use them - then of course you can change them too...

i.e.

var a = 1;
a = a+1;

and

var a = "1";
a = a+1;

Will do 2 different things completely...

C.

PS Answers on a postcard to the above if you fancy a challenge!!

This bit might be the bit I'm looking for (for the leading 0's problem) too!!

I'll take a look at both suggestions next week - and implement them when I have time!!

Cheers for both of your help.

C.

PS Here's the explanation...

parseInt(string, radix)

If the radix parameter is omitted, JavaScript assumes the following:

If the string begins with "0x", the radix is 16 (hexadecimal)
If the string begins with "0", the radix is 8 (octal). This feature is deprecated
If the string begins with any other value, the radix is 10 (decimal)
----

So I assmume that the code is thinking that it is parsing an octal number...

Thus 08, 09 are above 7 (The limit of Octal) and returning a 0.

I've been running it for a few days and runs fine on my end.

Hopefully it'll help clear up that clock issue.

oh ic, i never learned about "function"s, maybe the stuff i learned are just basics. is JS just a variation of java or do they have a lot of differences?

and postcard? what do you mean, if u want a game, sure lets set up one. if you have a partner or a team we can do doubles or triples, if not 1v1 is fine too

I have tried to find the answer in this thread, but I feel so dumb amongst all the programming talk...

I'd like to install the script, and went to the page at

http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/13076

When I click on the "Install this script" button, I get a lot of text code, but nothing to download. Do I have to copy/paste the code somewhere. Ummm...help? I have a win xp computer if it makes any difference....

Thanks very much in advance for any help anyone can shed.

You didn't download greasemonkey and/or you're not using Firefox.

First, make sure you're running Firefox, downloadable via this link:
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/
Then, after it's up and running, download greasemonkey:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748
Just click the big green button

After that's all down, THEN, and only then, can you download BOB.

Yeti, I think you should include the above information in the first post. Not everybody knows this stuff y'know...

Songsting · Post by **Songsting** » Sat Dec 29, 2007 1:44 am

Hecter, thanks VERY much. I had firefox, but had never even heard of greasemonkey. I just set it all up after your wonderfully simple instructions, and I looked at a game; it's like a whole new world has suddenly opened up to me. Many many thanks!

No problem

Play around with the settings to get what you want, and be careful with it on Conquerman, it runs really really slow on it. I like to turn it off when entering a conquerman game (look at the bottom right of your Firefox window. See that little monkey? Click him to make him grey and frowning, now greasemonkey is off. Click him again to turn him back on).

Can I just also ask: when I make a decision to put armies somewhere or whatever, I now get a dialogue box that says "Conquerclub says are you sure you want to do that?" or similar message. How do I turn that off?

You really need to change how decay and auto deploy is added into the total armies section.

I'd like a number you get to deploy as it is now and the autodeploy/decay number in [] next to it.

Aerial Attack · Post by **Aerial Attack** » Sun Dec 30, 2007 12:34 am

And of course - he needs to change the missed turns multiplier to show armies deployed before and after attacking. Lots of changes for yeti_c and the BOB crew to digest.

Hey there yeti,

I just noticed something in one of my Quadruples games. In all of my other team games I can hover over the "Team 1" tag and see where the armies for my entire team are using the map inspect. This doesn't seem to work at the moment for the Quads games. Any chance you can throw that in with your next update? I'm going to guess it should be too difficult of a fix.

Regards, Optimus Prime
