WitpStaff question

Post by emasino »

another awsome job guys. First WitP and now WitP-AE. I have very basic computer skills and want to get witpStaff running but can't figuer out how to create the csv files. The witpstaff docs I read seemed simple but went over my head like a 747. Can someone PLEASE give me idiot proof instructions for well, an idiot.

Go into the witp staff folder...

click witpstaff.bat or witpdecoder2.jar

On the menu click file

then click initialize DB

Then follow the instructions...as they pop up.

CSVs will be created automagically in the scen folder.... iirc.

After database is initialized you will be prompted to retart program and will need to load a saved turn again from the "File" menu option

http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp is a good starting point, but ig you have java already installed you can do an automatic update Start-> Control Panel -> Java (then look for the tab update)
