WitPTracker AE Release 1.11 Available!

[topeverest]

Floyd,

All this time, I have been doing this aetracker thing backwards.

Now that I load the turn replay and then load AEtracker, I alwasy get the turns's signal intel in with the load. That qualifies as a big DOOOOOHHHH, but lesson learned.

Thanks,

As more turns are loaded, more memory is needed. I'm guessing that you've reached a threshold where the program has to start paging to disk, significantly slowing things down. Can you try an experiment and reboot your PC and run just WitPTracker (nothing else) and see if the speed increases?

Yes this worked - if I load Tracker before AE it loads in about 3 minutes - very reasonable I think for 220 turns or so of data. Thanks

Request for column in the devices tab.

Can we get a production end date for devices?

Currently this isn't read in... It shouldn't be too hard to add, though...

Good data point. I guess we need to find a way to reduce the memory usage somehow.

In case it might help, I noticed that even with many applications open not doing anything while Tracker loads does wonder (from 15 to 2 minutes for 170 turns in my case). So it seems to be less about running tracker with no other apps, than just leaving the computer while it launches.

@Floyd, a reason why this happens might be the way Tracker (or Java, or the DB engine) handles multithreading. In other word, lots of time might be lost everytime the CPU switches into or out of the Tracker threads. Understanding where this happens (possible offenders could be locks on the database, which are unneeded since Tracker DB is only used by Tracker, some config parameter for Java or the DB engine, like opening in readwrite while all you need is write or something), a good profiling utility might help narrow down on the actual cause.

For some reason tracker has stopped working properly in my babes mod pbm game. I am the allies and tracker has worked fine up to april 1943. For the last 2 daily turns I am getting this error when I try to load the file.

I am using Win XP pro and I am sure java is loaded ok etc - tracker has worked fine for over 400 turns. Using 1.8 tracker. Any thoughts ? I can post a save game file if it would help the tracker developers.

Thanks - posting a save before and after this occurred would be good. witptracker@gmail.com

In the mean time maybe you could make a new install of tracker and see if you can load one of those new turns.

Cheers

Sorry this problem was my mistake. I am using the 1108p6 beta which has a new pwsdll. When I reinstalled ae tracker I forgot to replace the original pwsdll with the beta pwsdll. Problem is now solved.

Thanks for your reply to my query.

Im having a similar issue except I already pasted the new pwsdll to the tracker folder. Just upgraded from 1106i to 1108q2 as well as Tracker 1.6 to Tracker 1.8. Any tips?

Thanks in advance

If you are under XP, try having a Windows update of your system. One update is needed for the recent DLL to work.

Correct and XP's update is a bit fickle so make sure that the C++ update is one of the updates.

I know that when some groups arrive in play their leader can also a pilot but did not realised that pilots assigned to a sqn could also be air group leaders. All you need to do is transer them to the reserve and they will then appear in the lest of group leaders. This may not be new to some of you but it was to me.

Problem is there is no way within game that I can see that will allow you to work this out. Only reason I found this out was I wanted to assign a good training leader (high leadership) to a NZ group and used tracker to list available leaders. The top three had leadership over 70 and very high inpiration 85+ but I could not see them in game. I decided to look at the list of top pilots in game and found them assigned to one unit, but as pilots. I stuck them into reserve and they became available as group leaders.

In tracker it would help if the leader 'Assign to' field also indicated when they are assigned as pilots and for that matter, when they are assigned to tracom.

Interesting ... I'll have a look and see if it is possible, Thanks for the suggestion.

What C++ redistributables do you have installed?
These?

I just downloaded the q3 beta patch. It has a exe file that supports 70,000 pilots but I guess it doesn't work with the current Tracker version. What are your plans for this?

[schwartzkie]

I uninstalled and reinstalled what I could find.....looks like this now and still doesnt work. I cant seem to find the specific version you have listed there.....

Yeah - curious that our versions of the C++ software are different. Looks like you didn't reinstall the 2005 recently though ... Also what about doing a manual check for updates ?

Also I'd like to the see the exact error message and you say win7- 32 or 64 bit ? Java 32 bit installed (not Ver 7) ?
