Hope your feeling better Damian.

Yea sounds great!

BTW any way to change the "resize to full screen" button in the upper right corner to resize the screen to a size not overlapping the taskbar?

[topeverest]

Thanks...unfortunately, it just plain stopped running. I dont even get to the command prompt box. I had a failed turn load a few turns back. the next few turns loaded, but then it just stopped working. Dwelling on this, I now have a feeling that I know what the problem might have been. There was a turn at some point where the file came back in a different save slot. I want to say I changed it before running, but I cant be sure at this point. Shortly thereafter, I am pretty sure the problem started.

If I totally delete the the entire tracker folder / all its contents and reload, is it possible to install it again in a different / new folder and then mass load all the turns? I still have all the reports files.

please advise

Try just restarting the database. Remove the files that have names starting with trackerdb (usually four of them) and then try re-running. This will restart the database from scratch.

That is a Java issue, not WitPTracker. I guess we can intercept the message and then do something different, but this likely a lot of work to get it right.

Sorry found this as I was checking I've tried to add some features (Or at least mark them for the future)

I'm flummoxed! I am struggling to figure out the LCU Production Screens.

1. Delay A, V, M?
Units that are delayed need Arm(A),Veh(V)and Man(M)Pts to build.These columns tell you how many points
2. What is the chart telling me?
Tells you what points you'll need in the future and how that will impact on those Points
3. FTY On and FTY Prodn? Cal Prd? Total Prodn? Delay Pts Need? Etc Etc Etc
(see picture)
This is an incredible tool and an overwhelming amount of information. We all owe a debt of gratitude to Floyd for all of the obvious work this tool entails.

I am trying to slog through understanding all of the production stuff before I offer myself up as a sacrificial lamb in a PBEM game. The production system is incredibly complex and fascinating. I love it. Guess I'm a logistics junky or maybe just masochistic.

Thanks for all the efforts.

This one is one of Damian's masterpieces, so he'd need to explain it.

Developed a new economy for my mod ...unfortunately not sure how tracker can handle it.

The WitP Chart on the Industry tab has the Industry Inputs/Outputs hardwired to the stock settings.

Sorry Treespider - this is not going to make it into the new release ... will have to wait until I get it all done - I'm afraid.

Cheers

Your second post up is great in explaining the columns. Do you have one for air production. What is group planes? I think it is current planes plus reserve?
thanks

Could we add in the tracker.properties file an entry for game name that we could customize for each game we are playing? That way I could assign "Ryan's Game" in the properties and the tracker would see that and put it in the title bar right next to WiTP Tracker AE to help me keep track of which game I am looking at in tracker.

I do a seperate software load of WITP:AE on my HDD for each game and put tracker in that folder for each seperate game, also.

If there is an easier way to do this than what I am asking for, please don't feel like you have to do what I ask specificially, just some way to ID each seperate game under a seperate install of tracker. THANK YOU!

Getting back into Tracker with newest version and nomap.

Question on the Bases screen. Have looked through many pages here and can't find anyone who seems to have been cinfused by the column headings. What are "Nav" and "Air S(P)" reporting? Probably head-slapping easy but it's not clear to me.

Is there anyplace in the forum or on the Tracker site where column headings are defined all in one place?

[topeverest]

Floydg,

I did as you suggested, and it is working now from the point I reinitialized the database, however, I lost the first several months. Is there a way to get it back?

Some day we may update the Tracker site with a complete explanation, but until then...

Nav is the Naval support at the base and projected naval support from other HQ in range, shown as At Base (Projected).

Air is the aviation support at the base and the number of aircraft at the base, shown as Support (Planes).

Hope this helps.

You'd need to initialize the database from the first turn you want to track from.

Yes, it does, thanks.

I was trying to somehow get Patrol plane (P) numbers to work with the figures, and not getting there. And Nav to be number of ships disbanded or docked. Yours makes a lot more sense. [:)]

That was really easy to add. It will be a new entry in the witptracker.properties file, as you suggested.

[nashvillen]

Nice! Thank you!

[X(] Thanks. Sorry forgot about that but have seen it a wile back. I remember though that you have not covered everything like Bullwinkle has posted. But that is all I was wondering about at the moment. Thanks again.[&o]
