WitPTracker AE News

[witpqs]

They are the only ones I recall running into. When you export to a CSV file " is most often chosen to delimit fields. When there is also one inside a field, then the spreadsheet that tries to read it in thinks that is the end of a field and everything from that point on is messed up. The quick fix is to edit the CSV file in an ASCII editor and fix up the bad " characters, making them be somethings else. The long term fix is as above, of course.

I imagine that same sort of thing is what happened to Tracker based on what Floyd said. And since you can't edit the game file, no quick fix there! Floyd and Damian will have to say if there are any other potential trouble characters.

Pretty much just the single quote (') messes up WitPTracker. When I know it could be there, I make it work, but I don't do it automatically for all text strings...

[witpqs]

Then that makes two characters, as the double-quote messes up CSV files by default.

Which exports? I think I can fix that...

No - it wasn't really your error. It's been quite a while so I'm not certain which export, but might have been sunk ships or something. In the scenario there were some ships that had 6" guns instead of 6in guns. Some ships were "sunk by" such weapons. Tracker faithfully exported the tab to a CSV. Since the delimiter for fields was a " at the beginning and a " at the end, the 6" gun effectively borked the CSV file. So when the spreadsheet read in the field with the 6" gun it sensed the " after the 6 as end of field and got all out of sync. The long term fix was that the scenarios were modified (JWE) so all the 6", 8" etc. were converted to 6in, 8in, etc.

Yeah, I see that in some places. And I know that even though it's not exactly our error, it's actually fairly simple to fix.

Any chance to see this fixed version soon?
Would like to use that for by just started game and as the RHS mod is new to me there is a lot to discover and the tracker has always been so helpful for this I wouldn't go on without it.

I get with the first of the 9 version from the 1942 campaign not how much the amount "devices" there are in the pool or are used.
Is this becausse its the 1942 campaign?

[BigDuke66]

On first turn?
Could be normal, there are some things on the first turn that are not visible even in-game like Ground Reinforcement Schedule.

[MAARTENR]

It's not the first turn but about the 30th turn.
I hope HOLLAND will win over Germany. LOL.[:D]

I'm not sure what you mean.

I had got the information that a Japanese sub has been destroyed with a DC Rack M7

These types of devices (depth charges, guns, etc) do not have counts in the pool. Check the game and you'll see.

[MAARTENR]

Ok thanx.

[BigDuke66]

Sub destroyed by DC, what is the problem?
Maybe a screenshot would help to show what you mean.

Oh and keep on dreaming "Cheesehead" [:D]

[MAARTENR]

its not a problem and Germany isnt a problem for Holland. Till soon maybe.

I make dozens of csvs per game, love tracker. Just a couple of comments, when exporting data with dates, my excel won't ever recognize your yy/mm format. Its not a big problem, just makes 42/11 show up before 42/2. I just us text to columns to separate year and date (using the slash/ as delimiter).

But when hunting for pilots with enough exp (80plus) to go to Tracom, I can't select them easily in tracker, as delayed pilots show up in the group pilot list. Is there an csv-excel way to eliminate the delayed pilots?

Not a big problem fantastic program, would die without it

Can anyone help me? Trying to set up Tracker and I'm running into this error from Java. Any ideas what I should do (besides slit my throat and then hang myself)?

Well that is one permanent solution, but I recommend uninstalling and reinstalling Java first.
You cannot use Java7 or 64 bit with Tracker.

Not trying to troll but what's keeping this from being compatible with current versions of Java? Curious, this, considering that many of us use apps that likely require the latest versions of Java, and on a 64 bit platform.
