WitP Monitor

[Bill Durrant]

When this is switched on where does it create a file and what is it called?

P.S. Anybody heard about the next PATCH[:-][:-][:-][:-]

its in your SAVE directory under where ever you installed WitP, like
C:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific\SAVE

Normally your Allies SigInt, Japanese SigInt, Operations Report and Combat Report are written in the save directory each day, then erased and recreated for the next day. The Monitor will add a suffix onto each for each day: operationsreport.txt becomes operations42-01-10.txt, etc.

its ok if you're doing an AAR, you don't have to Cntrl-Tab to exit to copy the combat report every single game-day. it creates an archive folder to put these in, problem is whenever you restart after saving a game, you have to copy, then paste the set of text files into the archive and give them a date. a bit tedious.

You need to run a separate program called "WITP Monitor" before starting WITP.

The program is on spooky's website: http://mathubert.free.fr/
