WitPTracker AE Release 1.11 Available!

[n01487477]

ORIGINAL: MAARTENR

I'm using witptracker 1.7 and i dont get the alerts and i'm playing the campaign of 42 slot 50. And i'm playing it at slot 004 is this good or not for pbem?
It said warning about "significt" or something like that when i started witptracker.
How can i get this right?

Alerts are generated by the program after loading 2 or more turns ... load a second turn and you'll get some alerts. Any reason you're using 1.7?

[MAARTENR]

Damian i dont really worry about it but is 1.8 much better than 1.7 mate? And thanx for your help.

Cheers

[MAARTENR]

I get this also with 1.7 and 1.8. Could this be gone when i received a couple turns later on? Like Damian have said?

Yep - no SigInt (signal intelligence) to load for the first turn of the game cause there is no combat round.

[MAARTENR]

Thanx Damian. Another question wich region selector is the best for 1.8?

Hi,

Two small glitches :

- in the AirGroup and Pilot module, the number of missions apparently tops at 127. Past this point, the number of missions flown remain 127 (256/2-1 : could it be stored in a signed byte-sized variable?)
- in the Leader module, on the Japanese side, the PP cost for collaborators (Chinese, Indian or Thai) is negative. In the game, those correspond to PP values close to 250 (unsigned read as signed, I presume)

And a question :

- what does the Eng columns of the LCU module mean? I thought it should be the number of engineers, but this is not the case (for instance, lots of construction companies, or infantry division with "in house" engineers count as zero).

Thanks in advance,
Francois

Yes, you got it - it's stored in a signed byte, so maximum of 127.

- in the Leader module, on the Japanese side, the PP cost for collaborators (Chinese, Indian or Thai) is negative. In the game, those correspond to PP values close to 250 (unsigned read as signed, I presume)

Yes, again, PP is a signed byte. I'm surprised nobody noticed this before.

And a question :

- what does the Eng columns of the LCU module mean? I thought it should be the number of engineers, but this is not the case (for instance, lots of construction companies, or infantry division with "in house" engineers count as zero).

It is the number of engineers at the base + (number of engineer vehicles * 5)

Hi Floyd,

It is the number of engineers at the base + (number of engineer vehicles * 5)

This is what you get in the base screen, and the value is consistent with the one you have in the game. In the LCU screen, Tracker only seems to calculate the second half of the formula (engineer vehicles times 5).

Yeah, I found the problem. I was calling the right function for LCU's, but passing the wrong parameter. It'll be fixed.

Thanks!

Java 7 has a nasty programming bug. See this story.

hmm, Java 6.26 Win 7 64 bit here....updated ftom 6i to beta m4 - after 20 turns with m4 the turnsave files, one turn was invalid, then tracker never worked again. now, patched to beta p5 and deleted the whole tracker folder...and now i got the message that even "java" is unknown....hmm, sorry, I read the last 4 pages about dlls 2005 2008 2010 and so on... all I understand is "Bahnhof" which means nothing in german.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
If even "java" is unknown to a system where Java is installed&nbsp;&nbsp;then I am relly happy to use Mac OS X for all the really importand stuff. God, I am happy that I really need Winmorone only for stupid computer games. M$ is just .

In your witptracker.bat the command line should read exactly as follows (assuming Java 6 x86 (required) is installed in default path):
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xms384m -Xmx512m -jar "WitPTracker.jar"

Hello,

I am coming bak to AE for a campaign after one year off, so the tracker is more than welcome.
But my almost never used windows 7 looks even more stupid than expected.

First on my win7 pc WitP AE simply don't launch. But on my Mac under mac OS X running win7 through the clever "parallel desktop" it works perfectly (windows 7 is quicker under parallel).
Second, and this is the point in this topic, when executing the previously mentionned command line the answer is unbelievable (both on pc's and Mac) :

"C:\Program" is not recognized as an internal command or program file

simply meaning that this stupid windows 7 is not able to deal with the blank space he creates himself in directory names instead of the careful "_".
Amazing, made by the emperors of stupidity. [:@]

How could I overcome this ?
Move the tracker inside the directory of java 6 ? ===> edit: this inelegant solution works well, great !!! [8D]

Java is well installed at the default path.

Thanks,
Tz

====> edit: well, with two screens on my macbook (giant for the game, 14' for the tracker) and a notebook to take notes and read posts / pdf rulebook, I can play now this great game again ! [&o]

The problem you describe is not a new feature of Windows 7. In fact, this problem first presented itself when 'Long File Names" was introduced into the MSDOS and Windows environment. I think at the time the current version of Windows may have been Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups.

This is the content of fields in my desktop shortcut that demonstrates the solution to this kind of issue.

Target: "E:\Extended Disk\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific (Admirals Edition)\tools\witp Tracker\WitPTracker.bat"
Start In:"E:\Extended Disk\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific (Admirals Edition)\tools\witp Tracker"

In particular, take special note of the pair of " tokens.

Version 1.18
When filtering Pilots by Location (group, reserve,etc), if I select Group, it is including TRACOM in the list.
