Combat Reporter - report monitoring tool

[Rainer]

B1.03 is out.

Just installed B1.03. Works nice, works great [:)]

Suggestion:
in full screen mode (expanded - see below) the map is still limited by the boundaries. Could that be changed to make full use of the pane?

Great tool dude! Thanks a million!

Yes, I will remove the sizing restriction

I don't know if you have WiTP or Bohdi's Utility to go with it. What you're working on looks somewhat familiar.

The initial application would let you define the game, opponent, scenario, etc. Clicking a button to check for new intel/ops reports would copy the text into a new text file that was saved into a separate directory.



Clicking on the reports button would bring up the next window:



I selected the tab with the Combat reports so you can see how it looks. I selected Ponape for the recent battles that had taken place there.

While playing as Japan (Japan is also selected in the settings), I also noticed that I can see reports for the US side.
I'll try the newer version.

BTW, I'm not seeing this in the new version.

I have WITP, but don't have Bohdi's Utility. Very nice looking tool he has there. Where can I get it?

I have uploaded Beta 1.04 of CombatReporter which allows you to expand the map and you resize the window. It's nice if you have the screen real estate. I have also fixed the preferences and about dialog boxes.

I believe the tool is getting ready for release 1.0, so if you find anything else wrong with it let me know. The only thing on my radar screen right now before release 1.0 is to put a calendar in the preferences dialog so you can set the monitor date/time easier.

I'll start looking at Bohdi's tool to get some ideas for enhancements for version 2.0.

Thanks for all the feedback and I'm very happy to see so many of you using the tool.

It's under utilities.

Here is the original thread on it:

Yes, I have actually restricted the zooming to these two levels because of the included map resolution.

(from your post #26)

How does one zoom the two levels you mentioned with the current version (1.0 b1.01) and how with the updated version soon to come?

You can zoom the map by putting your mouse pointer over it and using the mouse wheel to zoom. If you don't have a mouse wheel, then let me know and I will have to put some hotkeys in to allow zooming. Make sure the mouse pointer is over the map as it won't zoom if it is not. Also, when the map is fully zoomed out, the window will have some portions that do not have a map and you will not be able to zoom if your pointer is not over the map.

Hi, you can't open a save game file, only the combat reports can be opened via the File/Open menu. The system automatically scans for the proper files using the date specified in the preferences.

Glad you were able to get it to work properly.

Thanx Bret and all the best.

Hi guys, probably the only person having a problem and I am sure it is a) simply solved & b) me. When ever I have a new saved set of combat reports it find them fantastically. Then when I close it down and reopen it later, it cannot find any reports at all. No settings have changed and stopping and restarting monitoring makes no difference. any ideas?

He, i think i had the same problem maybe you should restart your pc with i thought the date wich your started with.
