Hello everyone,

I have WitP TRACKER up and running. I'm playing the Japanese in the Guadalcanal Scenario (scenario 04). Everything is working like a charm except TRACKER is substituting Allied ship bitmaps for all of my Japanese ships. Or at least that's what I think may be happening (I'm new to both WitP-AE & Tracker).

I tried to upload a screenshot to highlight the issue, but I still don't have that privilege (if I understand the automated forum notice I received). Anyway, if you can "picture it" [8D], the screenshot would have shown information about the class of one of my submarines (I-171). All of the data is correct (I think), but the image (or bitmap) is not.

From looking thru the WitP-AE files, I think the correct bitmap (a submarine in profile) is labelled "JnSide0135.bmp" within the "JapShip_Back" folder within the "ART" folder. However, the bitmap in the screenshot (a small ship) appears to be "AnSide0135.bmp", which is found within the "AlliedShip_Back" folder.

I have searched the forum but wasn't able to find anything relating to this issue. I'd greatly appreciate any comments or advice.

Cheers!

It's a problem with the program, I believe. I have fixed something related to it, but haven't released it. I'll try to get that out soon.

Thank you for the quick response. Your efforts are much appreciated! Tracker is a fine program & makes playing the game that much more enjoyable.

WitPTracker AE Release 1.11 Available!

Post by floydg »

Well, since it's been almost six years since the last release, I figured I'd release what I had lying around.

It's not much, but I did fix some bugs and added just a few things. The full details are here: https://sites.google.com/site/witptracker/releases

Enjoy!
Delete the trackerdb.* files.
Copy the pwsdll.dll file from the game folder to the WitPTracker folder.
Try running the WitPTracker.bat again.

Just one question only!
Is new version compatible with 64-bit Windows or not?

All versions have been compatible with 64-bit Windows, just not with 64-bit Java. It has to do with the file pwsdll7.dll being a 32-bit program.
You can run the program using 64-bit Java, but you can not read a new turn in with 64-bit Java.

Yes I know. I meant compatibility with Java! Sorry. That is, new version is not yet compatible with 64-bit Java.
floydg promised to do it, I waited so much. I am saddened(

Trying to follow the instructions but I'm obviously doing something wrong. Can anyone point me in the right direction, please?

You must download and install the 32-bit version of Java.

Note that you should put it in a completely different location than the 64-bit version.

Thanks - I installed both and I guess they went to the same place but haven't a clue where they would have ended up. The only Java folders I can find relate to jre 1.8.0 which are in C:ProgramFile/Java and C:Program Files(x86)/Java. Apologies I'm not great with Windows

I think the one in the C:Program Files(x86) is the 32-bit on. You need to change your bat file to point directly to the java.exe program
in that folder. Something like this:

Put your 32 bit java in some place other than the default one and then point tracker directly to it, like this:

"c:\nomads 32 bit java\installation\bin\java.exe" -Xms768m -Xmx768m -jar "WitPTracker.jar"

Hi guys, I just saw this set of error messages. I do not know how long they have been popping up. I am just showing one, but there are lots of them. I am worried about the message that is bolded:

Is this something I need to worry about? I have 17 months of data stored, Dec 7, 1941 to May 5, 1943.

Yipes. Didn't expect that to happen. You can free up some DB space by purging old Alerts.
Delete the trackerdb.* files.
Copy the pwsdll.dll file from the game folder to the WitPTracker folder.
Try running the WitPTracker.bat again.

Interesting. I had alerts from day 2 up. The trackerdb.data is 2GB in size and did not change size when I cleared all but the last 10 days of alerts.

Also, I did not get any error messages when I loaded tracker, maybe they only show up when I read a turn in. I am at a good spot to restart my database
so I will do that but also I will see what happens with the next turn.
