When this probably excellent tool will be ready, please ?
THX [:)]

Timely query. We're still working on it.

It's not complete, but we may have something people can start playing around with soon (a week or so, hopefully).
Delete the trackerdb.* files.
Copy the pwsdll.dll file from the game folder to the WitPTracker folder.
Try running the WitPTracker.bat again.

Nice work guys.

I'm a big user of Woos utility, but you have some nice ideas. The only problem for me is that given that I use Bodhi's utility for the intel/ops/battle tracking, Woos for naval search, upgrades and production - I don't know if I will have time for another thing to load and save each turn.

Would be nice if y'all could get together and build one program with the best elements of each.

Or better yet - if the AE team folded in some of these types of reports/screens into the main game interface.


I second this. Excellent work by all of you but I really only want one. And if it became one more part of the game- all the better.

Wow. Really hope they pay attention and include something at least half this cool in the Admirable edition.

All I can say is WOW.  How large is this application going to be, and is it capable of running parallel with WiTP (updating in real time while the game runs)?

Q. How close ? Well not to be stupid about this but it all runs now, just want to include a few late small additions & do some more testing... So I guess and hope --a week or two.
Q. How big ? The program is over 1 MB, but with all the data and histories it expands...
Q. Running parallel with WiTP ? If you mean it can run at the same time, yes & you can load a new turn into the utility as soon as you have saved the game (I usually do this as soon as I've seen the turn results).

Remember this is a beta, there may be bugs we haven't caught ... and I'm willing to take the time to change things and take suggestions to make a better utility ... now just to get the AE team to give us the option for encryption on or off (or use some of our ideas)... Game longevity & popularity, as we all know is improved when mods and utils can be made to support a game.

Might as well post a pic ... shows aggregate of losses ... good for cut and paste to AAR ...

Ahem...I'm having a problem with the tracker. I followed the installation guide, but when I double click on .bat file, nothing happens.  For a moment, a console opens, and then it just disappears. Help?

You need to drag a copy of the turn into the Tracker folder. It'll then have something to read. For subsequent turns each time drag the new turn in, open Tracker and then remember to get it to read the turn. It takes a little while but there is a status bar to show that it is working.

Try running it from the DOS console (Start > Run... and then CMD) and capture the error messages (I assume there will be some error message).

Delete the trackerdb.* files.
Copy the pwsdll.dll file from the game folder to the WitPTracker folder.
Try running the WitPTracker.bat again.

Just a little reminder of the pre-Tracker days...
