WitPTracker AE Release 1.11 Available!

[Anthropoid]

It is my understanding that the key to having multiple copies of Java is to:

(a) install one, probably best to install oldest one first.
(b) copy the directory for that one, say 6 for example.
(c) paste it to some new location. This creates a "non-registered" instance of the app, so it should be impervious to auto-updates.

What you do after that can vary but to confirm that it works the way I'm saying, you might want to then use the Win uninstaller to uninstall the version in question. Make sure tracker is pointing at the copied version (and I guess visually confirm that all its parts are still there). Run tracker to see it works.

Now you can install a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc. version of Java.

As long as you make non-registered copies of each one you do not want to get updated, and leave only the one you want to get updated as a registered copy, I believe that will work.

I have had problems in the past where (for whatever reason) an app I was trying to run (I believe it was a Minecraft mod manager application like Tekkit) didn't realize I had the required version of Java even though I had multiple versions. But I think it was because it was because the one I had installed most recently, and thus the one that the Minecraft app found when it looked in the default locations, was the older version.

Hi

I am trying to get back into the game, and I'm trying to use Tracker. I have tried to follow the Java 6 installation ( and copy and re-point). I only have 1 game saved. When I try to start tracker I get

.9.2>java -Xms384m -Xmx512m -jar "WitPTracker.jar"
'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

Depending on exactly where you copied the java files in your WitPTracker folder, try both of these variations to the Java path shown above (which is found in the WitPTracker.bat file):

“C:\Users\Bill\Documents\AEIndustry\My Games\Game 1 test\WitPTracker AE Release 1
.9.2\jre6\bin\java”

or

“C:\Users\Bill\Documents\AEIndustry\My Games\Game 1 test\WitPTracker AE Release 1
.9.2\bin\java”


It is probably a simple oversight of not including the “bin” folder in the path.

For good measure, add the quotes to the beginning and end of the path too. They will help ensure that the spaces in the path don’t trip up finding the files. The command prompt is essentially a DOS environment, and spaces in file or folder names were a no-no in DOS (or at least they make pathfinding a pain).

Thanks for the response. I understand what I did wrong (pasted the java link to the wrong file).

Ran it and got this error. ( which I see someone else got as well), however I only have one file running, although I I have tried to organize it so I can run multiple instances (e.g. a new copy for each game).

Hmmm... haven't seen that particular error before. Here's what I found in the WitP Tracker release notes:

Release 1.3.1
This is an incremental fix for loading the signal intelligence files. The program will now also look for a file called "asigint.txt" or "jsigint.txt" if it can't find a file with a date on in the name. Also, it will look for the file for the date previous to the turn being loaded. That means, for example, if you load the first turn (12/7/41), it will be looking for a file named (for Japanese player), jsigint_411206.txt, which won't exist, but if you load the save after the first turn is run, the date will be 12/8/41 and it will look for a file named jsigint_411207.txt or jsigint.txt which should exist for December 7th.
Also added a tooltip to the Turn column in the Intel panel that shows the date associated with the turn number.

(Source)

Looking in my own WitP save folder, I have both the asigint.txt and jsigint.txt files, with addtional day-specific files named according to the following format: "asigint_YYMMDD.txt". So you should have an appropriate sigint file for the previous day of your current in-game saved date. You're referencing the primary save WitP folder, so all your info should be there. Double check to see that it is.

Only thing I can think of than an apparently missing sigint file is that the applicable saved game you are trying to load has something other than a one-day turn cycle, but you didn't set the WitP Tracker to match (it defaults to single day turns). So if you have a two-day turn cycle, but WitPTracker is still set to single day turns - it's looking for a previous day that technically doesn't exist.

Take a look at the "witptracker.properties" file in the tracker folder. You should see the last line as "TurnCycle=[#]" where # is the appropriate turn/day ratio for the save you are trying to load.

It it's not a missing file or turn cycle mismatch, also check to see that you copied the "pwsdll.dll" file from your WitP AE game folder to the tracker folder (and make a backup copy of the original tracker pwsdll.dll before you overwrite it). You should be able to tell the difference in the file sizes - for reference, my original tracker pwsdll.dll file was 476k in size, and my WitP file is 484k.

[IronDuke_slith]

I had missing files for intel for turns after the first one. I think it was caused by loading the file into tracker before I had run the replay file. When I ran the replay 001 file first, then the intel files started re-appearing. I assume they are created by the replay process...?

[floydg]

Don't worry about the warning -- it will happen on the first turn.
The real error is because you're using the wrong pwsdll.dll file. Please copy the pwsdll.dll file from the game folder (or Beta2 folder, as appropriate), delete the trackerdb files and then try again.

That was the issue.

REALLY could use some help here.

[floydg]

Did you carefully read https://sites.google.com/site/witptracker/support?

[bspeer]

Thanks, I'll give it a try!

[nashvillen]

Bill, I get around that by having Java 6 loaded just for Tracker. You can get it from the legacy Oracle site:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/ ... 19409.html

I then make sure my batch file is pointing at that jre folder to start with. Does that help?

Mike, I did this to no avail. Tried what floyddg pointed me to as well.
