Damian/Floyd,

Your screenshot of Air Frames additions looks great. But one small change please. Right now it is "1*Mitsubishi Ha-32" and if your sort under that column it is done by engine # and not engine type (which would be Mitsubishi Ha-32*1).

Actually, I'd prefer to see two separate columns, 1 for the engine type and the second for the number of engines per airframe.

A question, in intel we get a filter to search specific units, but if the opponent is moving troops by ship, we often get for example 3/2th Division is being moved in an xAK to abc. Is it possible that when we get such a message, that it will be displayed when we are looking for the 2nd Division in the filter ?

You should see both the transport name and the LCU name in the filter and selecting either should show the record. Is that not the case?

Yes, that works perfectly as far as I can tell. The question is that if I choose, for example, the 1st Division in the filter, I also get the records of parts of the 1st Division, like 4/1st Division. Now these are separate and it may be that if I'm searching for info on the division for some reason, I will miss a message telling me that it was shipped to a location, because those messages are usually only give about parts of the unit. Hope this explanation was a bit more clear.

The filter uses a "simple" string match. I'm not sure how else to manage that filter otherwise.

[Smeulders]

Well, the problem is mainly with detachments from air or sea transport so maybe it is possible that it somehow ignores the "x/" that comes in front of the unit name with this kind of splits ? If not I'll live, just thought this might be handy, thanks for the quick response.

I guess if I split it (which I had it doing in the distant distant past), then both of you will be satisfied. I NEED MORE ROOM!

Is there any way of running AitPTracker on a 64-bit Windows 7 machine?

To get it to sort the way you may expect it to, you'll need to write a special routine, since the sorter we use has only a primary sort key, not a secondary.

Hi Herwin,
certainly you can make it run on a 64 bit machine.

Install just java 32 bit and the MS 32 bit patch, run from the batch file using the C:\Windows\SysWOW64\cmd.exe command or post some errors and I'll work them out with you.

It is a bit more fiddly, but certainly not unattainable [8D]

[herwin]

I'm running 64-bit Java for development. This is a new machine, so I'm just getting familiarised. Please point me at the appropriate pile of references...

OK, all I did was run that version of cmd, find the .bat file and run it. Seems to work OK. Is there some way of programming that into a bat file?

Herwin,
I've found that having 64 bit java installed might cause problems, (I don't have a 64 bit rig), but from the web I've heard that if you install 32 bit java after 64, then you "might" be ok... otherwise you'll need to uninstall Java 64 bit and just go with the 32 bit(Version 6 Update 18). Or configure it properly (which I'm sure given your computer knowledge you can do/attempt)

Then install the Microsoft Visual C++ SP1 update vcredist_x86.exe

That has all been done and it seems to work. Apparently both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the JRE are simultaneously accessible. My next question is how to automate it in a batch file.

I like it when things happen as they are supposed to ...

My next question is how to automate it in a batch file.

I guess you mean running our batch file on a 64 bit machine ?

Use the C:\Windows\SysWOW64\cmd.exe command to start the witptracker.bat file. You can make a short-cut for this by making a copy of the witptracker.bat file and change the extension to something unused (e.g., witptracker.witp) and then associate the file (using the "Open With..." dialog) to open using SysWOW64\cmd.exe.

Hi Damian,

I just noticed that I'm not getting any LCU Disruption data in my current turn of my PBEM (as Japan, Scenario 2). I use Vista 64 and haven't had any trouble running Tracker up until now. But every LCU shows disruption of zero, and the history shows disruption as zero throughout. Fatigue is reported correctly.

Any suggestions on what I should do?

Edit: Just to be clear, I'm referring to the Disruption one sees on the left side of an LCU's detail screen, next to Fatigue. In-game, a unit might show Disruption of 15, say; in Tracker, I see zero.

Send me a save (witptracker@gmail.com) and I'll take a look. Maybe I'm reading that information from the wrong location in the save file (though I thought I was).

Floyd

[Grotius]

Hi Floyd,

Thanks for your prompt reply! As you requested, I've sent you a recent saved game. I assume you don't need a password or anything other than the saved game.

Also, I assume this doesn't matter, but: this was an "interim" save I put in slot 102, rather than a final "end orders phase" saved game (for which we use slot 5). That's how I've always saved my games with Tracker -- using an "interim" save rather than the "final" saved game, since the save file sent by my Allied opponent is always a day behind what I'm working on. In other words, I typically load his save, watch the replay, make one or two moves, then do an "interim save". I then run that interim save through Tracker.

Thanks for looking into this!

For another alternative, look at post #919 on page 31 of this thread.

I've run into an error where Tracker hangs when loading a turn. I do run from the .bat file as recommended.

I'd be thinking this is a memory problem (like you suggest), have you tried to increase the memory settings in the batch file ? I'd increase each by 64 until I found the mark. Can I ask how many turns you have loaded ?

Also might want to have a look at the TSR programs you're running ... Start-Run-msconfig ... then startup tab.

[witpqs]

Thanks for the quick comeback. I haven't tried any changes yet, wanting to get the expert opinion first before messing with your batch file. Which memory setting should I try increasing? Or both?

I have several programs running in the system tray (all windows systems do now even if they are not visible in the tray!), but the system has 3GB main memory.

I believe this is the 72nd turn that I am trying to load.

Given that you have some uncertainty, I think what I'll do first is try it again after a reboot. Maybe something in the system has a memory leak? Looking at the Windows Task Manager it doesn't seem that way, but who knows for sure.

I'll report back.
