WitpStaff questions and suggestions here please (read the first post!)

[pmattiasn]

Good idea! When I get some spare time on my hands (ie next time I have to spend half a day in an airport lounge) I'll do that and report back, and hope I'm not the only one with this question [:)]

[pmattiasn]

Couldn't resist to try one more time even though I have a deadline to meet in the morning, and now I got witpstaff to load a new fresh savegame of the DBB scenario! Including all new ships and classes as far as a quick glance could tell me.

Not sure what the problem could be but I'll keep testing and see if I can make some sense of it and report back here...

For those with a bit of PC savvy, you can download the JAVA JRE for u17 (jre-6u17-windows-i586.exe from SUN Java) and install it as a separate installation by selecting "Change Destination Folder" in the lower left of the Java install screen.
Click 'Install' and continue with the installation and it will install this version of JAVA in C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_17 on your PC.

Then go to the Witpstaff directory in AE and edit the file 'witpStaff.bat' and change the java line to:
C:\"Program Files"\Java\jre1.6.0_17\bin\java -Djava.library.path=. -jar witpdecoder2.jar
and save it. The ""s are needed because of the space between Program and Files.

Clicking on this will now run with java version 17 and you wont get the 'DATE' error.

Any programs that use JAVA will still work with the latest version (18).

Must i do the witpstaff.bat to run the programm?

Yes you must ... follow MichaelM's instructions... I doubt it will work with Babes Mod (you should test using the stock scenario first)

Have you installed Java 1.6.0_17 ?
Where is it located ? Here ? C:\"Program Files"\Java\jre1.6.0_17\bin\
Change the batch file to this and run ...
good luck ...

[MAARTENR]

Ok Damian i will let it becausse i've done mine best and i've the Babes mod.
Thanx for solving.

Cheers,
ps how can i update the Java to the latest update? And can i get trouble if i do a game with this other java program, becausse i've changed the java for this tool?[;)]
How can i get the latest version wich was installed?

Yeah, I downloaded and installed _17, and I was able to initialise.

Hi Woos
Have a problem initializing the database for a Grand Campaign, I'm running Vista 64 (I Know its S..t but got no choice), i've downloaded and installed vcredist_x86.exe in 32bit and 64bit, I have also placed the full path name to java(32) as I have both 32bit and 64bit Java installed and up todate version 6.23 for both.
I'm running from a clean install of WitP AE fully updated to 1106i, ran turn 1 and saved game in 003.pws then ran witpstaff to be confronted with this :-

config.directory is .
You didn't correctly closed the DB last time. LeaderPrefs exists.
You didn't correctly closed the DB last time. ACFactors exists.

You need to use Java 6 and version 17.
