WitPTracker AE News

[FeurerKrieg]

IT works fine on WIn 7 64. You just have to install the 32 bit version of Java and map tracker too it. There are some google videos that are helpful along with the instructions Dan mentioned.

I am running 64 bit Java and 32 bit Java both. The only thing that uses the 32 bit Java is Tracker, but they can coexist on the operating system with no problems.

Having a bit of a problem with the Air Groups and Pilots Screen. I try to pick "Upgrade to" under the "special" pull down list and it keeps telling me to pick a specific model but I can't seem to be able to do that anywhere.

It Looks like it ought to be done with the second button over from the "Model" pull down list but I never get anything there but "All". Doesnt seem to matter what other choices I make.

Need to set the plane model ... You're saying there are no planes in that pull down ... then you need to delete the DB and reload a turn so that it initialises properly...

Ok I tried to make it work. I checked java 32-bit, Microsoft Visual C++ SP1 and followed the instructions.
But, it can not access jarfile.
As I double-click the WitPTracker.bat file, I get this message:

C:\Windows\system 32>java -Xms 384m -Xms512m -jar "WitPTracker.jar"
Unable to access jarfile WitPTracker.jar

Can anyone help me?

Why have you pointed to c:\windows\system ?

That is not where it is installed ... usually ... also need java.exe

Yes, I see, but in my java folder there is no 'java.exe' although I have reinstalled it several times. Maybe that is the problem?

Well it is in the "bin" folder ... You are installing java 6 32 bit right ?

[jnpoint]

yes, I am, but no java.exe. I have 'client' 'dtplugin' and 'plugin2'.
under programs x86 - java - jre6 - bin -
it is a java 6 build 33

Doesn't make sense to me ... I just downloaded from here ...
http://java.com/en/download/manual_v6.jsp

And have in my bin folder ...

[jnpoint]

maybe I should uninstall java 7 first?
I have java.exe but without ".exe", it's the same with all the other ".exe"
really strange.

[jnpoint]

I tried again and this time I get this error message:

F:\witptracker demo\witptracker AE release 1.9.2> java -Xms384m -Xms512m -jar "witptracker.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 Run Environment

I have done everything right - I think - but is java version 7 my problem, and will it be best to uninstall it?

[jnpoint]

Forget my previous problems, please.

Because now I have a new
Not to difficult, but I did uninstall java 7 and running java 6 build 33.
So my new problem is the following: When I set up the witptracker.properties properties file. I right-click on the filename of that file and choose the Open command. But the window it opens is only open for less than a second, so I can't read it and edit in the window?

solved!

[jnpoint]

Yes it works now! I do not know why or how, but it doesn't matter

Quick question:

In Alerts, are the Ship Sinkings accurate or are they derived from the in-game Ships Sunk list?

Thanks.

Derived from the save game, including FoW-related stuff.

I can actually take the entire database files move them out of the tracker folder then move them back in to the folder and it works. Heres the sequence of events that makes it screw up:

1. Set model to anything besides all
2. Pick a particular type of plane
3. Set Special to "Upgrade to"
4. Set model to All
5. Column where I pick type of plane sets to All and won't change after that.

After that happens I can close tracker. Move the database files out of the tracker folder. Close, Reopen, and close tracker. Then copy my original Files back into the folder and it will work again.

Yes, I see that now. [:(]
I'll take a look at the code once I finish my PBEM turn...

But to fix it, you don't need to move the database files -- all you need to do is quit the program and restart it.

Tracker suddenly stopped working and gives me this screen. I have two installs, one does work so it isnt a problem with Java.

[Dan Nichols]

It says your out of memory, try changing the -Xmx512m to -Xmx768m. That should fix it for a while. It is taking 169 seconds to load the DB, you may have to start over again soon.
