WitpDecoder; Now providing some overview

[Arkady]

anyone have clusters for stock scenario #15 ?

I'll make them during weekend but if anyone can save me some time...[;)]

[FeurerKrieg]

The cluster for China is subject to change, based on how much or little of the rail network has been 'liberated' from those lousy Chinese peasants.

My Allied opponent has my leaders??
Ctangus, beware! [:D]

[siRkid]

I don't have time to read the entire thread so can someone tell me if an ally player can use this tool on a stock game?

Kid,

From what I read it is only for the evil empire at present. Stay tuned for further details.

Thanks, I'll stay tuned. Maybe we could start somekind of movement to get a good guy version.[;)]

He is working on an Allied version and should be on the shelves in time for Christmas. [:D][:D]

[Martti]

I just started a fresh scenario 15 (stock), saved the game immediately before changing anything and loaded it into WITPDecoder. Look what popped up:

The following leaders lead more than one (currently available) unit:
Maruyama, M.(IJ Army) 25th Division
2nd Division

No wonder the leader bugs appear early; apparently they are hardcoded into scenarios!

[treespider]

Clusters -

I can get the program to recognize line -1 - The scenario name however none of my clusters appear in the table


Any suggestions?

[treespider]

In addition

After creating the cluster files, when I first start witpdecoder I receive an error:

"Couldn't set up a working DB template. Exiting.

I notice that a witp.lck file is created in the analysis folder and then erased whill the above is processing.

In addition my witp.* files are created normally.

If I click on witpdecoder a second time after the first failure and I leave the witp.* files that were created when I first tried to start the program, the program starts fine with the exception of not recognizing my clusters.

[Long list deleted]

I feel sorry for you having to click through all the pop-ups during reading in the save file. I expected that the most someone would get were maybe 5. Seems I have to add an "Ignore" button to save you from more pop-ups of the same type.

BTW, did you check all/some of the reported inconsistencies if witpDecoder is right? There are sure still bugs in it, like e.g.

which displays a 7000 too high TF number.

Other questions:
* Pre-release of V0.3 with capabilities for Allies (although still lacking UI changes) will probably be available on Friday or the weekend. I'll be on a business trip for the next three days, so minimal fancyness must do.
* @treespider: If you get unexplainable errors during database initialization, look in the witpdecoder.log file, which should show you a more elaborate error report. Probably some syntax error in the clusterbases.csv file. You do have one, don't you? If you want to try again with an improved file, you have to remove the witp.* files to get witpdecoder to initialize its database again.

Sorry, no more support since ... see above.

Currently using this program on a PBEM where I am the Japanese.

Although I am not fluent in computer-eez the witpdecoder log file mentioned some error in line 91 and as as far as I could tell it was refering to the clusterbases.csv file.

When I checked Line 91 of the clusterbases.csv file I noticed that this was the start of a cluster controlled by the Allies.

Low and behold when I deleted all of the Allied controlled bases from my clusterbases file the program worked like a charm!

Note to users: Clusterbases can only have bases controlled by the Japanese when looking at a PBEM!!!

Since I never tested clusters using a PBEM savefile, I can't say that is impossible, but I still think it's unlikely. More probably one of the deleted lines had a syntax error or contained a non-existing baseID. But most importantly it is now working for you.

Yes, Woos, I did check that list, it seems mostly right, however I cannot say that the ALL occurencies were reported right. This is a hell long list.. [:)]

BTW: it's a long played game, updating from 1.6 patches forward to 1.804, so...
It can happen, bur really -- the "ignore" button would be a nice addition. [;)]

EDITED: It shows not only commanders in active ships but these in the pipeline as well.
See: Yahagi, she has the Allied commander (Craven) and is not ready yet..

Tried to figure out how the leader tab works out..
And must say, I am confused, because cannot find in the real game the leaders queried.
Was looking for an air IJN squadron leader with air and aggresivenes ratings.
So: Air Unit, IJNavy, air:5, aggr:5 found: Mori S. 77/88
But I cannot find him when trying to change the fighter squadron unit.
Morover, some of them are said to be leading SHIPS..
confused = is the query searches only for CAPTAINS?
Or is it possible that it shows leaders that are not actually (not yet? or killed?) in game?

Another case:
Trying to check the user created scenario (mod by AlaskanWarior for inconsistences).
Database seems to load just fine. But when opening the save file, the following exception occurs:

Couldn't write things to the DB due to

Any comments?

Amazing. Please help a lazy reader how to make the ind tab to work!

[saj42]

I'm playing Scen 157. Everything works fine except the Industry tab. I see the spoilage stats but no data in the main industry section - it says no clusters found. OK I must be doing something stupid with something that should be so simple.

I'm using clusters 1 to 11 (Japan to India from sample in the install) and edited the clusterbases file to get the correct base IDs from the witploc file. Still no joy.
'spose I'll just keep trying 'til it works.

Woos said it wasn't the case-- but once i eliminated the bases that I didn't control from my clusterbases file it worked fine.

How do you create clusters? You need clusters to make industry tab work?

[Woos]

How do you create clusters? You need clusters to make industry tab work?

Please see the "Industry Tab" section in the documentation.

Most probable reason for it not working if you have created the respective files is a syntax error in one of the files.
Next most probable reason is that you didn't reinitialize the database after creating these files. Delete the witp.* files in the directory to do that and start witpDecoder then (Warning, you loose everything you have read into witpdecoder by that).

If you then still have problems, maybe you removed the "-1" entry from the clusters.csv file? That entry has to stay (see the doc, as I would like to add) but the text should of course be adapted.

BTW, did no one yet notice the glaring bug (so glaring that I didn't notice it for a week concerning the Industry tab: The last cluster is never displayed. Now how do I declare that a feature?

Concerning the leader list: Yes I also noticed some strange things there, but it basically simply takes the information stored in the save game. So if the save games says "can lead a plane" it is displayed by the leader tab in that category. If the game uses someone like that to captain a ship, there is nothing I can do about (but I will check for bugs once I got the Allies working because I also have seen the "no where to be found" effect).

Hey Pry is updating the data base and I was thinking that maybe this tool could be of some use. Now I don't fully understand how it work but from reading some of these post it looks like it can be used to verify some database info. Anyone know if Pry is using it?
