When I run the program and check the list it does not show the correct info. It is as if it is reading from the original setup of the scenario not the save file. I have changed the destination on some task forces but it is not showing up in witptracker. Help please?

Thanks

rekm41, if you are making changes during your orders phase after you have read that game turn into Tracker, it won't detect the changes until next turn.  Tracker will only read a specific game turn one time.

Well you could load the turn into Tracker after the orders phase, but as was said only once per turn ...

The most requested feature rears its head again ... it's on its way. For the mean time you can use an OpenOffice connection to do this, the instructions are here

Thanks.

While I'm here and writing,
[*]I've put split panes in for all the Production screens. (allows you see more data)
[*]New drop down on the LCUProduction Panel (probably should be LCU's) which allows easy filtering of Parent and Fragment units ... It was becoming such a headache in my game V Nemo121, that I had to add it for my own sanity.

I know you guys have been patiently waiting for AE and a new update here...sorry it is coming.

I didn't think you had much to start with in the first place. [:D]

Now you have to deal with that ...... across the DMZ acting like a mad man. Oh wait, he is a mad man. [8|]

Hello All,

Just downloaded and used this on a test scenario. I recently started a new campaign and want to use this to track my game. However, how do I change the scenario? I have edited the properties file and deleted all the previous pws files and moved the current one to the directory. However, it keeps trying to read the old save game.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It will read whatever PWS file you indicate in the properties file. There is a save game mode which indicates if the file should be read from the local directory, the official SAVE directory or both. My guess is that you need to set this one properly (or ensure the file is in the right place).

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

Actually,
I think he means to reinitialise the Database ... you can do this by deleting all the trackerdb.* files ... and then starting the program again ... this clears the DB of all old data.

In a command window, type "java -version" and it should return some version information and not an error. This will verify that Java is installed and can be found.

Copy the pwsdll.dll file from the game folder to the WitPTracker folder.
