Doesn't Tracker use a start and end date for producing reports of changes over time - i.e. you have to give it the full range of saved games to work with?

No, it reads the turns when you tell it to. It also does not need the -archive switch set.
It gets it data from the turn file and the current sigint and ops files and stores
everything in its database.

Can anyone help me here...following on from my post 26 on the previous page, Nomad told me -

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



How do I change this, where do I change this? I have donloaded the WITP Tracker zip file, installed everything including the multiple versions of Java, Nomad has helped me hugely by diagnosing the problem but I still dont know how to get WITP Tracker to point to the 32 bit version not my default 64 bit version.

I would really appreciate a simple step by step instruction and yes I appreciate that this has probably been asked before, but the WITP Tracker thread is 205 pages long and finding this isnt easy.

Once again all help appreciated.

Hano, this is the witPTracker.bat file in the tracker folder. Right click on it and select edit.
It will open it into notepad and you can make the changes.

See my post above, change the java to a complete link to your 32-bit java installation.

I have no idea what location you put your 32-bit java at.
You can not just copy mine bat file.

You just need to change the word java in your bat file to be what ever
the complete path is to your 32-bit java installation.

Thanks for your help, after deleting every attempt to install WitPTracker and reinstalling Java, I finally got tracker to work after nearly two years of trying!

Thank you all for your helpful suggestions and patience..particularly Nomad
