WitpStaff questions and suggestions here please (read the first post!)

[dasboot1960]

OK, I hope I am just missing something simple here. I was able to get the JRE file, install the hotfix, witpstaff starts fine, I am able to initialize 'db'. I reopen witpstaff, and try to load my save file 003 from my pbem ---poof----- the spreadsheet disappears. The command prompt remains (press any key...) but if I do it closes too. ---is this only supposed to work for the Japanese?

[kaleun]

Does someone else have a problem with the password not being recognized?

[dasboot1960]

I suppose this (unrecognized pw) could be the problem....................... at least the game is recognizing it

[davidgillsol]

Got up to 19th december playing 2 day turns, but witpstaff is after loading most of the info from a turn giving me a "NoparentLCUsMarchOnlyto existing Basetable:LCU status"  Pity- I liked the data it was providing.

Scenario 001- on Xp service pack3.

[Woos]

Boot,

The only currently known cause for CTDs during Load Savegame is that you did not or not correctly install the hotfix. Typically it gets installed into the wrong directory. Have a look in the logfile (mentioned in first post now) for the error message.

Kaleun,
I assume the password is <= 8 Characters, has no special characters (Umlauts,Accented chars, anything outside normal ASCII) nor blanks, and you tried it several times (to ensure you didn't just mistype)?
If yes, please send me savegame and everything else as mentioned in the first post.

Sunderland,
See first post on how to try to analyse constraint failures. Your constraint concerns the base a unit is marching to. It doesn't exist, which is a bit strange. Please check the logfile and in game.

[Barb]

hi woos,
if I could add some suggestions:
I would like to have possibility to see all units assigned to certain HQ. I know it is possible in game but it could be hard to find a unit belonging to a rare HQ (like only VP of North Pacific HQ on map on dec 7th).
Colums should have some basic informations about those ground units like: name, AV, Guns, Support, AirS, NavS, Preparation, moving, position(or base), availability/withdrawal.

Thanks for the witpstaff [:)]

[davidgillsol]

Hi woos

Looked at the logfile- doesn't make much sense to me-"There is a problem with LCU 8000 (22nd/A) as follows:
Couldn't write things to the DB due to java.sql.SQLException: Integrity constraint violation - no parent LCUsMarchOnlyToExistingBases table: LCUStatus
java.sql.SQLException: Integrity constraint violation - no parent LCUsMarchOnlyToExistingBases table: LCUStatus"

When I look at this unit in game it was marching to 89, 56, and was prepping for Chuhsien- Don't see any obvious fault there.

[jcjordan]

Woos
I get a different error each time I try to load a savegame. The initialize db seems to work fine & I've tried that multiple times but every time I try to load a savegame I get a different error. The last couple of errors were a pid3676 & pid2072, any ideas as I've downloaded the hotfix?

ORIGINAL: scott1964
No.700 Sqn FAA S-1 POW was sunk on turn one

The actual culprit is the first fragment of this unit, which, if you have a look at it, will show to have no leader. Because it has no pilot. Add a pilot, get a leader.

TF7014

This looks very much looks like a will go away next turn problem. Didn't it go away?
No change in WitpStaff for both.

The following LCUs are assigned to a (not yet) existing HQ:
5013 (Guam USN) recently captured
6333 (Rifles of Canada)
6334 (Winnipeg Grenadiers)
6335 (102nd RN) recently captured
6336 (Hong Kong) recently captured
6337 (Kowloon) recently captured

All units are destroyed. WitpStaff badly handled them. Fixed that (hopefully not causing other problems).

Barb,
don't get your hopes to high. That sounds like a completely new screen. Actually I am trying to get you to do more things e.g. by writing plugins for the Map Overview, not the other way around


jcjordan,
you obviously you didn't install the hotfix correctly. Please follow the instructions given in that post meticiously or have a look at post 16 in this thread which shows you a screengrab with the correct directory.

Note that any further report of a failure to correctly install the hotfix will no longer be replied to. I mean what I wrote in post 1.

[jcjordan]

OK Woos, I'm an actual&nbsp;dummy to the extreme as I had it pulling from the WITP save game folder not the AE folder!!! Problem fixed so far other than all those msgs about no commands or leader types that disappear next turn type things. Just call me Homer J
&nbsp;
&nbsp;

[dasboot1960]

What follows is the witpdecoder report after "initialize database" this was after I downloaded the hotfix into the tools\witpstaff sub-folder, unzipped it and it overwrote the pre-existing .dll, and I had deleted the 'db' folder from my previous attempt to get this thing to run


config.directory is .
You didn't correctly closed the DB last time. LeaderPrefs exists.
You didn't correctly closed the DB last time. ACFactors exists.
Now trying plugin UPGTestPlugin
Initialization worked nicely.
Please wait 5 seconds and start me again.
Couldn't execute the following command:
DROP TABLE "LeaderPrefs";
DROP TABLE "ACFactors";
Couldn't shutdown DB.

I don't know how why I'm getting the "You didn't correctly closed the DB last time. LeaderPrefs exists.
You didn't correctly closed the DB last time. ACFactors exists." because I had just deleted the 'db' folder before freshly initializing. But there it is

This then leads to the problem of the spreadsheet shutting down when I try to load my game save file into it.


IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE WHO CAN HELP A POOR DUMB SLOB ?

(I'll play anyway, but this looks like a very slick planning tool)


Here is the witpdecoder file from after the spreadsheet shuts down:

config.directory is db
Now trying plugin UPGTestPlugin

HI WOOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Still beating my brain cell over this...... I just confirmed the following:


the hotfix .zip file I downloaded is 4130C4F48A24457D9A64724A5E58C010 and that is the same id from the hotfix post
it was unzipped in the ...\tools\witpstaff folder and overwrote pws.dll from July 24 with the one from July 27

database initialization goes nicely... I restart witpstaff.........
I then attempt to load saved game file wpae003.pws and...

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: C:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition\tools\witpstaff\pwsdll.dll: This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem

I feel like a helpless little girl, please help me [8|] (there doesn't appear to be a smiley for a crying whiney lil' biat...........)

Perhaps some incantation before I click "unzip to here"?

[dasboot1960]

Hi Woos,

My continuing issues are detailed in #32, but now I've just found that there is a pwsdll.dll created on July 20 residing in the main witpae file - - - should i also overwrite this ?

Barb,
don't get your hopes to high. That sounds like a completely new screen. Actually I am trying to get you to do more things e.g. by writing plugins for the Map Overview, not the other way around

While I am actually working with SQL Databases,unfortunately I am not that skilled with Java to write something workable.

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: C:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition\tools\witpstaff\pwsdll.dll:This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem

This means that there is no pwsdll.dll in the witpstaff directory. You either deleted it or overwrote it with something which is not a dll. If you don't know any further, just follow the instruction in the error message (i.e. re-install WitpAE). And then please correctly install the hotfix.

That initialization works flawlessly is no indication that you solved the problem the hotfix is for. That problem always occurs during save game load not during initialization.

And the main pwsdll.dll in the main directory has nothing do to with it.

People, please use the search function. There must be at least 5 threads around describing the hotfix problem and its solution.

[dasboot1960]

disregard

[dasboot1960]

Hi Woos -- OK here we go -- This is the witpstaff file after the hotfix is downloaded, but before it is extracted (note the date modified on pwsdll.dll)

[dasboot1960]

Here is witpstaff folder after the file is extracted from the zip (note the date modified)

[dasboot1960]

sadly, here's the quote from decoder after the spreadsheet failed

tell me something, tell me anything. smack my backside and send me home crying, but I don't think it was downloaded into the wrong folder (was it?)

Try deleting the database and starting over
