Hey, we updated the site! ;)

As you may have noticed from the front page, the sourcecode for BoBCoB is now available. Check it out.

22 June 1999
We've just released BoBTweak v1.00! A Creatures 2 Tool kit that you can use to access all the cheat commands without putting Creatures 2 into one of the cheat modes as well a few other nifty things. Download it now from the Download page.

The BoBCoB website has also undergone a bit of a redesign now that we have more than one product. Also we have an "official" name for our little group: BoBWare!

14 April 1999
Woops! Two eensy-weensy buglets were found in the stim calculator. They've been fixed and the downloads have been updated with the fixed program. Download the fixed version from the Download page. If you've already installed v1.44, just download the upgrade zip file and unzip it into your BoBCoB directory.

12 April 1999
BoBCoB v1.44 is out! Noteable in this release is the COS Import/Export, compressed COB saving and new thumbnail view in the Sprite Editor. Get your copy on the Download page.

1 January 1999
Yes, we're back with BoBCoB v1.43! Featured in this release are a fair number of bugfixes, aesthetic changes, COB conversion speed improvements and an improved AutoScript for C2. Mosey on over to the Download page and grab yourself a copy.

19 October 1998
BoBCoB v1.42 has been released, with file embedding support in Creatures 2 COBs, a spiffy new Script Editor (with indentation and comment support), Most Recently Used files list in BoBCoB, Sprite Editor and COB Packager, much faster sprite conversion and other miscellaneous little fixes and changes. Go get it on the Download page.

2 October 1998
BoBCoB v1.41 is out, bringing better Creatures 2 COB support, MUCH faster sprite drawing, multiple import/export to/from Windows Bitmap and Creatures 1 & 2 Sprite files, as well as a few bug fixes and other minor changes. Get it on the Download page.

21 September 1998
We've added another mirror! Many thanks must go to Frimlin of Frimlin's Kiwi Creatures for offering to host a mirror of the BoBCoB website. You can visit Frimlin's Kiwi Creatures at http://www.frimlin.co.nz/ and the BoBCoB mirror on his website at http://www.frimlin.co.nz/bobcob/

20 September 1998
BoBCoB v1.40 has been released! The major features of this release are Creatures 2 support and the COB Packager. Get your goodies on the Download page.

1 September 1998
A link to the Norn Adoption Clinic has been added to the Links page.

17 July 1998
The BoBCoB website has had it's look revamped. Let us know what you think of the changes. The Frog COB download has been fixed to include the sprite file. There is also a new mirror at ProHosting.

6 July 1998
We've added another COB to the COBs page - The Frog!

5 July 1998
We've added a COBs page which contains the COBs created by the BoBCoB Development Team with BoBCoB. Currently, one COB resides on the page - The Wishing Well.

4 July 1998
Oops! We found a few bugs in BoBCoB v1.30, so here is BoBCoB v1.31. Only minor fixes in BoBCoB but there was a major bug in the Sprite Editor that affected sprite file size (see changes.txt for more details).

28 June 1998
At last BoBCoB v1.30 has been released! <trumpet fanfare>

Many thanks to Ali Maggs of Albia2000 for contributing his COBs as examples for the tutorials in the BoBCoB Help.

Thanks must also go to Lummox Jr. for allowing us to use information from his website in creating parts of the BoBCoB Help.

The BoBCoB Help would not be as extensive as it is, if it were not for the fact that Rhodent wanted some holiday left after this release - even if it is to play Riven... again. This might have the effect of bugs in BoBCoB v1.30 because she said, "Release it, now!", but she swears she tested it. Although, she did say she wanted a warning message placed on the Command Line Interface. I said that you guys knew what you were doing - besides, you DO make backups of your worlds before fiddling... Don't you?

It's been a busy week, we hope you enjoy the results ;)

13 May 1998
The screenshots have changed again to include a screenshot of the Script Editor and different view of the Sprite Editor.

I've also changed the filenames of the downloads to be more useable on 8 character file systems.

12 May 1998
I've updated the screenshots so that they show BoBCoB v1.20 features and I also re-arranged the screenshots page to use thumbnails instead of a slideshow.

Also, the mirror at Xoom is now our primary site and will get updated first. The FreeYellow mirror may disappear sometime in the future when it's diskspace restrictions become a problem.

5 May 1998
BoBCoB v1.20 is available for download.

4 May 1998
Another mirror has been added at http://members.xoom.com/bobcob/.

29 April 1998
You can now download the full version of BoBCoB v1.10 from the mirror site at http://www.fortunecity.com/underworld/goldeneye/425.

28 April 1998
A mirror site has been created at http://www.fortunecity.com/underworld/goldeneye/425. BoBCoB can't be downloaded from this mirror yet but I'm working on getting the file there.

21 April 1998
I've changed the download options to just a Full version of BoBCoB. The options will later expand to include an Update download for people who already have a prior version of BoBCoB installed.

20 April 1998
BoBCoB v1.10 is available for download. And the screenshots have been updated for v1.10.
