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.

You can have both 64 and 32 bit java installed at the same time. I'm guessing here that you could have Java7 64x installed ... You just need to point Tracker to the 32 bit version 6. As for Java 7, 32 bit we'll work on it when we have time and the incentive to do a re-write. Maintaining a 64 and 32 bit version is a bit much to expect from a hobby project[8D]

And no, you're not trolling and I hope I haven't written too matter a fact.

It sounds like a shortcoming of Java that you have to do much differently at all!

I have the Java Memory Issue, running Win 7 64bit

Use the C:\Windows\SysWOW64\cmd.exe command to start the witptracker.bat file. You can make a short-cut for this by making a copy of the witptracker.bat file and change the extension to something unused (e.g., witptracker.witp) and then associate the file (using the "Open With..." dialog) to open using SysWOW64\cmd.exe.

Doesn't work

Running with NoMap works, but I can't load new turns.

How many turns ? What are your memory settings ?

-Xms512m -Xmx768

23 turns

memory settings? The file starts with

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xms512m -Xmx768 -jar "WitPTracker.jar"
pause

It doesnt work with -Xms512m -Xmx768, if you implied so.

I am getting an error running Tracker1.9.1, it seems to be a Java error, but I am able to run 1.9.0 without a problem (installed in different folder). Here's a screenshot of the Java error. I went to the Java website and reinstalled Java, same issue. Running Windows 7, 32 bit. Any ideas?

I had the same problem. I tried uninstalling and installed the Java 6 for windows online x86 32 bit, but it happened again. I started to uninstall again and discovered that they automatically installed Java 7 at the same time as Java 6. I just uninstalled the Java 7 and it worked fine. I believe you want to say no when asked if you want to update Java in the future, but I'm not sure.

Add an m after the -Xmx768. As in -Xmx768m.

I ran into the same problem of "no-memory" as well. I have only 5 (sic!) turnes loaded into Tracker. Had to up the memory to -Xmx768m and leave out the map. Right now I reverted to -Xms512m and ensure that the Tracker is launched first once my latop is rebooted and Windows have loaded - works everytime.

You just need to point Tracker to the 32 bit version 6.

So how do I do that?

EDIT:

I installed both Java 6 and 7. I copied the Java.exe + dll from the Java 6 folder to the tracker dir. I get this:

F:\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition\Tracker>java -Xms384m -Xmx512m -ja
PTracker.jar"
Registry key 'Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\CurrentVersion'
has value '1.7', but '1.6' is required.
Error: could not find java.dll
Error: could not find Java SE Runtime Environment.

F:\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition\Tracker>pause
Press any key to continue . . .

There is no need to copy anything anymore... And you need to move these back to the right location... otherwise nothing Java will work. (We don't use the java.dll anyway)
To point to the right version of Java all you need to do is to change the batch file to something like this... The path here is for a win7x64 machine. You need to check this is the correct path.

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xms512m -Xmx768m -jar "WitPTracker.jar"
pause

Ah, that semi works!

Java launches "installing additional components" but get stuck there at "unpacking bundle"?

Gah, it worked perfectly before but I had to install Java 7 for another application!

EDIT:

Got it run using this version of java:

jre-6u33-windows-i586

Fixed a few things and added some other nice stuff.

New Features:
[*]Ship Movement tracker in Map Panel shows when a ship was sunk in black
[*]LCU Panel shows TOE in the table in the LCU tab and which LCUs use the TOE in the details of the Formations tab
[*]Base Panel adds an "insufficent garrision" special filter
[*]Ship Class Panel add a special filter to hide classes not available yet
[*]Export CSV for pilots
[*]Air Production Panel has additional details in the tool tips

Bugs Fixed:
[*]Ship weapon damage properly stored in the database
[*]Aircraft types with a single quote in the name can be read
[*]Export CSV exports strings with double quotes in them so that when they are read in to Excel/etc works fine
[*]Production Panel fixes for convoy planner, filtering in Regional Industry tab

Known Issues:
[*]Ship Class Upgrades get confused when there are multiple of the same device in the same place
[*]Ship withdrawal alert may show too often
[*]Purchased LCUs with non-standard TOEs show database errors when they go back into the reinforcement queue (harmless, but annoying)
[*]Scenarios where units have a delay of 9999 are shown, but a filter should be added to hide them

The release is available from the regular place: https://sites.google.com/site/witptracker/releases

Floyd did this just come out today??? Just got it working, simple as 1-2-3. PPL, just unzip the new file in a seperate folder. Pull the old .jar file out of your tracker and slide the new .jar file in.
Damian and Floyd ROCK~!
Thanks as always~!

Thanks as always~!

You can just extract the witptracker.jar file from the ZIP and replace your current installation with it (nothing else changed).

Aww beat me too it for I could edit~!

Air Production panel. Are you talking about mouse over? (changes)

Question/request: Under Airgroups and Pilots, click on group, then click on pilots (bottom). Ok now for the request. Anyway of putting a History tab (+plus maybe even an additional tab, eg: last 5,10,15,etc days) on that pilot screen to see how their exp levels are coming along? Possibly displaying the entire group at once instead of clicking individually (just for this 'tab').

If you show the history for the group, you see the aggregate experience change.

Cheers, Floyd and Damian!

Runs fine, now also with RHS mod, BIG thanks to everyone who worked on this! [&o]

You're welcome. Enjoy!

Oh, and I also fixed that error with the build rate of devices -- forgot to mention it.
