WitPTracker AE Release 1.11 Available!

[SeethingErmine]

I use the tracker's Leader screen to try to find better leaders for my air groups, but I run into a lot of leaders that do not show up in game when I try to find them. What am I missing?

For example, from scenario 1, playing Japan:
- In tracker, I go to Leaders and filter by IJN and Unassigned & Active.
- I sort by Air skill, and the first "LT" rank leader for me is Kikuchi, R. [3363] with an air skill of 67.
- In-game I bring up the leader assignment list for a navy air group, and Kikuchi does not appear in the list of available leaders.

We've been busy fixing and adding screens and this area probably needs a quick review to see if we're missing something ... When I get a chance I'll have a look.
Thanks

Did you edit the [font="Courier New"]witptracker.properties[/font] file appropriately?

Look here for some hints.

Do you just have the 32bit Java installed ? Uninstall the 64 bit.
What is your OS and processor type(AMD/Intel)
What Microsoft Visual C++ SP do you have installed ? The 64 bit one seems to cause problems, just use the 32 bit

Let me know and I'll try to get you up an running.

That's incredibly unusual, we both use the same MS setup ... Can you replace the *.dll in the tracker folder with the one in your c:\matrix games\... (game root folder), delete the db & try again. Otherwise I'm thinking you are a 64 bit user ??? I thought you had 1.3 running before ?

ORIGINAL: Grotius

Tracker is running great for me! It's even better than the original WITP Tracker, so congrats to you on a wonderful release.

I just have one minor (and probably obvious) question. I've never used Tracker in a PBEM before. I'm playing Japan, and I ran Tracker after I sent my turn 1 off to my opponent. It generated a valid database of info on my empire as of December 7. My opponent then sent back his turn 1, I ran the replay, and now I'm starting my orders for Turn 2. I tried running Tracker at this point, but it still just generated a report for turn 1, December 7. At one point will it read Turn 2? After both I and my opponent have entered orders for Turn 2, I assume?

Once again, thank you for all the time and effort you put into this. I've loved using it for AI games, and I'm really thrilled to have it at my side for a PBEM.

Grotius, thanks for the encouragement ...
For Dec 7, load the save after you've given orders (or before),[edit] - mid-turn save but before you have clicked the End turn (the file for your opponent).
Dec 8, load the save after the combat replay (before or after giving orders)[edit] - mid-turn save, but once again before the END Turn.

Hope this makes sense ... It's clear as mud to me [;)]

Cheers

Hi Damian

tried copying the pw*.dll from the matrix install folder to my tracker1.4 folder - no dice, same error.

any ideas?

Jackyo123,
I don't understand, in one thread you are asking me how to change Base Regions, and then on this one you are saying that you can't get the program running... which is it ? I'm getting confused [&:] Or is this just when you try to load a turn ?

Jackyo123, I think that you need to tell me some more information.
What OS ?
What Java versions are installed ? 64 or 32 bit
What C++ SP version do you have installed?

And why can you work Staff and not Tracker ... they work on the same principle (mostly)

[Red Devil]

Hi,

I cannot get Tracker to run, nor WiTP Staff for that matter. All help appreciated.

I'm running Windows 7. In my efforts to get Tracker running I've downloaded a variety of Java versions. I have 2 installed I think - Java 6 update 17 & also Java 6 update 17 (64-bit), but I dont know which is actually trying to run the program.
Similar problem with C++, I have 3 versions showing:
- Visual C++ 2005 ATL Update kb973923 - x86 8.0.50727.4053 (252 kb)
- Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable version 8.0.56336 (2.69MB)
- Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable version 8.0.59193 (346kb)

This is the error message I am getting:

Hey, I was wondering if it was possible to get a filter in the air prod that displays either planes that are being used in a group at the moment, or that are being built at the moment. It seems to me that the current 'building' filter also displays planes for which production/replacements have already stopped. This would prevent clutter later on in the game of a bunch of obsolete planes still taking up space in the lists.&nbsp;

sorry Damian - thought i had posted before; I have 2 computers - 1 at work (where i am most of the time) and 1 at home. one at home works perfectly. one at work doesnt.

both are XP Pro. Both are 32bit java. Java builds are both from mid-december.

Not sure what c libraries are installed - not sure how to tell either.

which version of java and c++ should i install?

You shouldn't be getting an out-of-memory exception, since you're running with the right parameters.
But it did show that the tables loaded in 12 seconds, which is a little fast. Can you try deleting the [font="Courier New"]trackerdb.* [/font] files and trying again?

Go to the LCU screen. Click on the the column heading to sort by Location. It will sort by hex number instead of base name.

I've noticed on many other screens a location column will sort on name, with hex numbers being interpreted as names. That way seems much easier to use.

Yeah, I do that on purpose.
The other screens don't show the hex location next to the base name. I don't know which way really is best...

IMO - sort by name. Do show the hex number, but sort by name. I figure if you know what hex to look at you already know what's there.

I figured out why I did that: for LCUs not at a base, if I sort by Base name, those LCUs end up at the end, which I didn't like.

Robin,
different users with 64 but OS's, have found differing solutions so I can't give you just one... This is usually associated with the *.dll link error and is about configuring your machine properly.

I don;'t have 64 bit OS, but I'd try this:
Uninstall 64 bit Java
Uninstall all MS C++
Reinstall MS 32 bit C++ SP1 or try the original before the Service Pack(SP)

Then delete the trackerdb*. files again and run from the batch file.

Let me know how it goes.

Yep, but I thought the "Building" filter only showed planes in production, (done on date and that the plane has a factory building)... Anyway, I'll recheck and make sure it's fine for next build.

[Mistmatz]

Just stumbled over an inaccuracy with canadian and british ranks. See the picture for details.
I noticed that with 1.3.1 and will check with the next turn under 1.4 but the changelog contains nothing about this issue so I assume its still there. I checked also one USA squadron and the ranks where fine there, didn't check any further natonalities but my assumption would be that there is also a problem with the other commonwealth nations.
The whole thing is just a minor nuisance though.
