WitPTracker is only available from the Google site - what comes with AE is WitPStaff, which is a different program.

Sorry for the mix up! Got my support threads crossed. I was using Tracker on WITP and was hoping it would be updated for AE! [:)]

It is, go to the google site and get the WitPTrackerAE. It works great.

Yes, WitPTracker AE.

New version in the works. It'll have a few things for the latest patch and a new panel I've been working on here-and-there...
Delete the trackerdb.* files.
Copy the pwsdll.dll file from the game folder to the WitPTracker folder.
Try running the WitPTracker.bat again.

Floyd, I dont' know if this is a quirk of the Guad scenario, something that has been fixed since your release 1.0.1, or something that still exists.  On the LCU panel, when filtering by HQ, Southwest Pacific does not show up in the HQ pulldown.  Sorry, I'm still running 1.0.1, so I can't verify it in 1.2, but I didn't see any mention of it in the release notes so far.

Mike: I just looked at the code and the list is created from "top-level" HQ only. I don't have access to the game here at work, but is SW Pac at the top, or under another HQ?

OK, in Guad scenario, SW Pac is under Australia Command.  I can filter on Aus Command in Tracker, but then don't see any of the LCU's assigned to SW Pac. 

A strange command structure for the Guad scenario for sure.  If it's not an issue for anyone in the campaign, then I'm happy to let it go.  I've yet to start a campaign, but will soon.  I've been waiting for Patch 2, and now one more release of Tracker.  [;)]

Yeah, I should probably do what I did for the Air Group HQ filter here for LCU's. In Release 1.2, I added a hierarchical listing of HQ. At least I can re-use some existing code... [:)]

RE: LCU HQ Filter

Post by USSAmerica »

Floyd, I checked the campaign, and SW Pac is a top level HQ there, so it's probably just a quirk with the Guad Scenario.  Now, if I were able to assign an Inf LCU to, say, I US Corps, which is subordinate to SW Pac, would the Inf LCU be displayed if filtering by HQ or not?  If not, then there is something to fix.  I suspect this is what you already addressed with the Air Group HQ filter. 

Great tool, getting better and better all the time.  [8D]

Here is another updated region file. I think it is better organized. It should only be used with a new data base since many of the regions now have new id numbers.

Floyd, Damien, is some kind of super region still in the works/planning/possibilities?

Thanks, Ken!

Nested regions are still on the list, but just not addressed yet. Are you thinking just a two-level structure is okay or should it be multi-level?

So this would be a "post patch 2" region file then? Used after creating a new Tracker database from a post patch 2 save game file?

Thanks for doing the leg work on this, Nomad!

Yes. Version 4a which is posted above is for ongoing games, it only corrects the spelling and names of bases. version 5 rearranges many of the regions into some better groupings plus spelling corrections.

I think two levels would be very useful. Multi-level could also be very useful. I can see a super region of all of the home islands and another of Kwantung, Korea and Northern China. Then a super-super region of those combined( with another of Formosa, Southern China, Hanian, etc.). In terms of production these could show what you have in reasonably protected transport areas total, and what each region has in excess or needs.

Ugh....something about tracker and AE on my system. Note that I run tracker with two GC games under Witp absolutely without problems on my Vista x64 system using 32-bit java. No problems at all. Trying to run tracker on an AE scenario 1 against the AI give me what look like overflow errors.

This is scenario 1, historic first turn. Save is right after the end of turn.

There are many, many more of similar errors. I can email you the trackerdb.log, though the errors don't show up there.

Mynok: looks like the file read is no good. Maybe the PC is too busy and the file reading gets messed up.

Can you delete the trackerdb.* files and try again with a "quiet" system?

If not, send the save file to witptracker@gmail.com and I'll see if it happens to me, too.

What I do to get turn 1 for the allies in the system is do a dummy PBEM turn 1 of the scenario I am playing.&nbsp; I will start a PBEM as the Japanese player of the scenario, enter a dummy password, end the Japanese turn and then reload as the allied player with the password I am going to play.&nbsp; That gets the turn 1 in the system if you are doing historic first turn.

I've read this a few times and I'm still not sure what you are asking, but once you have a save file, with password it can be read by either side. Sorry if I'm having trouble understanding, I've been in a foreign country for way too long.[:D]

I think the save file for a PBEM turn 1 isn't "ready" for the Allied side to read into WitPTracker until it is loaded into the game and saved as the Allied player (password needs to be set, at least). I think that will answer and explain the question.
