I hope you have a backup of the trackerdb files...

This has happened to me before on crashes and the files are corrupted.

Afraid of that - no backup....maybe I'll learn from this.

Guess the fix is to start new?

Only fix I know of. I don't know how to repair these files.

Thanks Floyd, deleted old data and I'm back up and running - starting at turn 280 something of course. Still LOVE Tracker and all it does!

How can I best avoid this in the future - best way to backup?

[floydg]

I just copy the trackerdb files over to somewhere else every few turns. But I also have an automatic cloud backup program running, too...

In Tracker, for LCUs, is there a way to see where the reinforcements will be arriving? I know you can see in the game, but, hoping you can see where (for planning purposes) they arrive within the LCU screen for reinforcements?

Look at the LCU Production panel.

I guess then you need to decide if you can trust me or not.

OK, trying to get Tracker up and running on my new computer (Win10). Just installed the newest version (8.0.660.18) of Java (32 and 64 bit). Of course, I have a few issues now.

What needs to be change? And to what?

How do I edit to make it happen?

You need to call Java 6, instead of just "java". Using the "java" command will call the default Java version on your machine, which unless you have changed your Java settings manually will be an up-to-date version.

Find the folder on your computer that has Java 6 installed, and replace the "java" portion of the command line like so:

java -Xms384m -Xmx512m -jar "WitPTracker.jar" change to

"C:\...\java6\bin\java.exe" -Xms384m -Xmx512m -jar "WitPTracker.jar"

Where "C:\...\java6\bin\java.exe" points to the directory your java6 installation is in. This is usually, but not always, in Program Files.

The newest tracker release uses Java 8.

OK, or that.

OK, how do I edit my .bat file (MS-DOS)??

I'd edit it with Notepad++ or the in-built Notepad Editor in Windows.
Lt.Columbo voice:'Just one more thing...' The tracker always seems to
load the latest PBEM not the scenario against the AI... so I need help, too

Having a little trouble getting tracker to work. Have not used in in a couple of years. I created a tracker folder right in my game and unzipped there. My path is a little different but I think I got it right. Here is my result when I double clicked the bat file.

[Lokasenna]

Right-click on the .bat and click "Edit". Open with Notepad, or Notepad++ if you have it (great program if you do any coding).

[crsutton]

Lokasenna, are you responding to my post? What do I edit in the bat?

This issue is not with the batch file being wrong. The problem is most likely a C++ error (reinstall the C++ libraries) and make sure you are using the correct java version.

Also, delete the pic as we can see your pbem password

You need to make sure it is calling the correct version of Java. If the simple "java" command on your system calls the version of Java that corresponds with your Tracker installation, then try the C++ libraries as Damian posted... if the "java" command does not call the correct version of Java, then you need to point it that direction.

That particular error is one I see when I use the incorrect version of Java.

And the correct version would be Java 8? I did install C++.
