ORIGINAL: Misconduct

ah thanks n0, finally got it working for once, I did everything right it was simply a Variable that didn't allow JAVA to execute commands, not allowing it to start. Appreciate the help, it works fine.

And I think the error you reported in the other thread must have come from WitpDecoder, since WitPTracker does not have any database integrity constraints in the tables (all of the checking is directly in the code).

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

Not what I'm after.  Some bases receive supply that does not come through hi or resources. In stock Karachi - 15000, SF -25000, etc.  Neither the game nor tracker seem to list this.  What the spreadsheet is showing is the total supply per day which is a combination of Supply source+resource+hi.

Chris the game does show it and as I say in the attached pic ... why do you want the breakdown the supply to be into it's specific components? - there is no point IMO. The file I gave you shows the Daily Supply + HI + Res production of supply.


Damian

Thanks?

It's been a long time since I played stock an I could not remember where there were.  Knowing where there are helps (me anyway) determine where most of my supply is coming from and where I do/don't need to ship it to/from.  It also helps to determine where oil/resources are need most.  If the base generates supply through HI and resource then it's more likely to get a higher priority than a base (could be rail linked) that generates supply.  In CHS there are a number of bases for both sides that are a supply source. E.g Melbourne, Sydney, Darwin, Auckland to name just four.   Darwin doesn't have any industry but does generate supply so these types of base would get a lowere priority.
 
Having written all that it's no biggy, i thought I was missing something in the game/tracker but there again maybe it's the game that's missing something.

Actually I am missing something!  My version of tracker does not have the Supply/day column.
 
I'm using version 1.5

OK Chris I take your point - but I thought that the supply&fuel tab and the Oil&Res tab were enough to make working that out fairly easy.

Yeah this build (I'm showing) hasn't been released yet, that is why I sent you an *.xls file... but if you look at this pic I've included a daily supply (this is stock) so you can take note of these bases and then plan your supply transportation ...

I guess I could have done all the work for you guys, but isn't that part of the fun of planning trade routes ?

No the  "-"(minus) is where the British,US Navy and Marines air-groups have more pilots in these groups than are needed...once again this might be because of disbanding.

Oversupply of pilots is probably a good thing, except when the pilot bug strikes ... but
we do show "insufficient pilots" in the AirGroups Tab ... What kind of category ?

Reinstall Java. That class is part of the core language.

Hi folks,
It's been a while since an update ... speaking for myself I've been flat strapped with PBEM and RL commitments & I'm sure Floyd is the same.

Any last requests ? Cause I'm programming today and tomorrow and I want to get any last additions (That Floyd and I think are cool) & my code cleaned up before I send to Floyd in the next few days... (Yes Floyd I'm really going to this time!!)

Does this mean we are close to a new release? Maybe No, but this is the only time I'll have for the next few weeks to really concentrate on Tracker, so fire away


Yes, we have fixed most of the bugs ... (I think), & I will post some screen shots of new exciting additions I've been working on soon.

Hi Damian, I know you've added column sorting on the Device History popup, so we can display the most recent turn at the top.  I'd just like to mention that there are a lot of popup panels that could currently use this capability.  I don't know if you've hit them all, several, or just one, but if it's not too complicated, being able to sort on any and all column headers on all panels would be awesome. 
 
As always, a hearty thanks to you and Floyd!

I think I hit them all.

Would it be possible to add a display regarding device upgrades to the LCU production screen? Being able to estimate how many armament/vehicle points will be needed to bring all units to the newest standard would really be helpful.

Hi Damian,

as I already stated this would really help me:
In the Task Forces Dataset you added the fields "Label" and "Notes". It would be great if these were available for LCUs and Air Groups too, since they really help in planning.

Thank you,
Marc
