Question on Japanese upgrades

[kaleun]

I'm sure this has been addressed already.
Is there a listing of the upgrades for the different classes of Japanese ships, dates and what they get?
Thank you.

[Mistmatz]

depends on the mod/scen you play.

I'd suggest you use witpload on the scenario you want to play or the database editor.

[kaleun]

I feared that.
I never got WITP load to work properly.

[VSWG]

Just use the ship database in the game (the fourth button from the left on top of the main map).

The manual states that Chitose/Chiyoda can upgrade to CVL if they simply sit in the Osaka port after 12/31/42 (same with 2 BB float plane upper), but I've seen at least one post which states the real date is 1/1/42, and that you have to disband them in Osaka. Which is it? And are the conversion days as stated in the manual (180 for CVL, 330 for BBs)?

[nobunaga]

contrary to popular belief conversions are always done on the LAST day of the month, starting with 12/31/42, then 01/31/43... 02/28/43 etc,
delay for BBs is 180, for the CVLs its 330 days (the manual is wrong on this)

And there is Woos's Utility as well which gives upgrade info

[kaleun]

Where can I get Woo's utility?

[Baron von Beer]

Assume that is his WiTP Decoder? 

tm.asp?m=1298889&mpage=1&key=WITP%2Cdecoder

[Woos]

ORIGINAL: Tallyho!
And there is Woos's Utility as well which gives upgrade info

Note that it will not give any info on the CS->CVL and BB->CV upgrades as those are AFAIK hardcoded and not in the database. Only on normal ship upgrades.

[Kull]

Thanks! (And the CS can turn around now and head back to the front!)

WITPDecoder is quite easy to install.

1. get witpdecoder,
unzip into a new folder under your WITP save directory.
My path is c:\matrix games\war in the pacific\save\pbem

2. inside here will be a folder called cluster definitions, take the appropriate 2 files, cluters.csv and clusterbases.csv and copy (don't cut) then into the root folder ... for me it's - the pbem folder. I use the 192 scenario for BB1.4(but I've adapted it)

3. edit witpdecoder.bat mine looks like this ... (ive changed the password!-so it's not my pbem pword) ---> damian
echo off
REM java -Djava.library.path=%CD% -jar witpdecoder2.jar PasswordHere
java -Djava.library.path=. -jar witpdecoder2.jar damian

4. after this run it and follow the instructions ...

Also I can also tell you how to improve the cluster files if you want...

My Access DB add-on for WITPDecoder can be seen here :-
tm.asp?m=1579074

[kaleun]

Maybe I'll try WITP decoder again. The first time I tried it I couldn't get it to work.
Thanks
