What Trackers/Tools are people using

[Ian R]

Thanks, I have it now.

[DesertWolf101]

Much like LargeSlowTarget, I don't use any tools whatsoever. I also use enough of those in my professional life so I don't want to use tools in my gaming. I certainly recognize the advantage they can offer, but they are definitely not a prerequisite either. You can become an excellent player without them.

I use Tracker and Combat Reporter only which is enough for me. I used to not use them but once I got them working and figured out to keep them working I cannot imagine ever going back to not using them. You never miss a unit arrival or forget to move a unit or activate a new or repaired unit. These are the best reasons to use them in my opinion. And of course everything is tracked. No stone is left unturned...

Hi sorry for the delay in replying.

I cant get it to work, I'm running Windows 10 on a 64bit system I have Java 8 64 & 32 bit installed.

I couldnt get it to work, is it neccessary to uninstall Java 8, then install java 6, remove that and replace it with java 8, I had no idea which version of java 6 I needed.

Any help you can give would be hugely appreciated I just lose track of things when I'm playing it on the go so as to speak.

So the trick for me was deleting java in all locations. Reinstalling latest Java 32 and 64 in my location of choice. And then putting the Java 32 exe in the Tracker folder. Same for Combat Reporter. Both work great now.

I've got combat reporter working just fine...

I had another go last night.. uninstalled java, downloaded java 6 as described in the wiptracker installing Java 6 instructions, copied it and renamed it, then installed Java 8 64 bit and java 8 32 bit but i get this error message:

[Nomad]

That is because you are using Java as the program name. That will take you to the standard 64-bit java. Use the complete path like this

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

And for everyone's information, combat Reporter will work just fine using the 64-bit Java.
The problem with Tracker using it is the pwsdll7.dll is a 32-bit dll.

I get "cannot access witptracker.jar" whenever i try to use tracker, i have the right java, its linked to it fine, i downloaded everything the tracker sit said i needed (re tried with that multiple times), just cant get it to work. Am i missing something stupid?

[HansBolter]

None.

Tracker is useless to someone who doesn't save in the same slot.

I'm pretty sure you should just be able to rename the save file to be the slot name you have Tracker set up for.

[RangerJoe]

You can always change the slot that Tracker looks at . . .

[Nexira]

Im fine to save in the same slot. I just cannot get tracker to work, the command prompt says "cannot access witptracker.jar" whenever i try to run it.

Seriously, think of the question that you want to ask, be specific, then search to see if there are any threads where the question has already been asked. Then read any pertinent threads, add your question to that thread if you do not fully understand the answer. Also, if English of whatever form is not your primary language and even if it is but you do have difficulty with that, please state that as well.

I'd recommend all the different add on programs to see what works for you. Tracker for Japan is a must for me as it makes everything so much easier, as the Allies I just wing it with pen and paper.

Presume that would require me to make that adjustment every turn as I save in every slot consecutively until all slots are full and then start reusing slots.

Or save the game twice. Once in the slot that tracker looks at and the other one in the consecutive order . . .

[HansBolter]

That would work. I'll think about loading Tracker and reserving a slot, like number 3 for the tracker saves.
