Make sure the file is where you set in the witptracker.properties file.
You could also use the multi-read turn function and manually navigate to the file location.
Delete the trackerdb.* files.
Copy the pwsdll.dll file from the game folder to the WitPTracker folder.
Try running the WitPTracker.bat again.

Today when I tried to open tracker and run my new turn I got this message:

C:\Users\Owner\Desktop\WitP Tracker Invictus>java -Xms384m -Xmx512m -jar "WitPTracker.jar" nomap
ERROR: Problem starting the database. Exiting.

Perhaps the database files are corrupted. At least from the code, the error is coming from when the database file is first opened (and before anything is read).

Hi Gunner98.

You need the 32-bits version of Java.

OK thank you. I had a 64 bit version of java that I had long forgotten about - gone. Next step - cannot open the save file

I've only played 2 turns and get the same message on my Turn 1 save as well.

Any thoughts?

OK, the save file was in the right spot but I had a setting wrong in the properties file:

# Mode the program will look for save files.
# 0 = just in the local folder
# 1 = just in the game folder: [Dir]/SAVE
# 2 = local and then if not found there, the game folder
SaveMode=[1]

I had it in SaveMode=[0] for some reason. Fixed now and I can open the tracker and see the save, but need to run another turn before I see data I believe.

Thanks for your help

I believe you have to set a switch in the game shortcut to archive the game data. If you do not do this it will overwrite the previous turn data and only save one turn of the game. Tracker needs a range of game dates to look at.

Yeah I saw that point elsewhere and did so, thank you.

I read somewhere that humans eat more bananas than monkeys and I believe it's true because I don't remember the last time I ate a monkey.

Larry -

What version of Java JRE do you have?

From the DOS prompt, type "java -version" (without the quotes).

Mine looks like this:

Code: Select all

C:\Users\fgold>java -version
java version "1.8.0_371"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_371-b11)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 25.371-b11, mixed mode, sharing)
Floyd
Delete the trackerdb.* files.
Copy the pwsdll.dll file from the game folder to the WitPTracker folder.
Try running the WitPTracker.bat again.

C:\Users\t>java -version
java version "20.0.2" 2023-07-18
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 20.0.2+9-78)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.0.2+9-78, mixed mode, sharing)

AND I followed the advice posted above and got the same result. Now what?

I noticed how different mine was from yours and uninstalled All the Java versions I had downloaded and installed the
version shown below:

C:\Users\t>java -version
java version "1.6.0_31"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_31-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 20.6-b01, mixed mode, sharing)

And now I get this error message:

C:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition\SAVE\WitPTracker AE Release 1.11>java.exe -Xms384m -Xmx512m -jar WitPTracker.jar nomap

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_381-b09)

So now it works. Thanks you fixed it.

Also, what's with all the air groups due to be withdrawn when they aren't.
