Damian and/or floyd, can you tell me approximately how many threads you open in Tracker? I am investigating my memory problems and am curious. BTW, I seem to have better luck opening larger databases using a smaller -Xms parameter. I'm still looking at this to see what is happening.

Damian/Floyd, I just tried to update Tracker to 1.6 and I get an error message:

Error occurred during initialization of VM

Any clue?

Hmm ... did you just overwrite the witptracker.jar or make a new folder? My thoughts are that you haven't extracted all the jar's properly. Do you have 3 files in your lib folder ?

Maybe do a completely new install of tracker just to see ...

Also we're at 1.6.1 [;)]

Got to get to work now so answers as I can ...

[Mike Solli]

I did an overwrite. I'll just start over. Just a minute....

Did you get a memory message at the end of the "Error occurred during initialization of VM", in which case you need to look at your memory settings in the batch file or use the "nomap" option

java -Xms128m -Xmx512m -jar "WitPTracker.jar" nomap
pause

Gotta go ... drop back in when I get to work.

[Mike Solli]

I reinstalled 1.6.1. Here's the error:

Error occurred during initialization of VM
java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/Object

Press any key to continue . . .

Mike ~ I've not encountered this problem much before... lucky you!

3 possible reasons:
1: You don't have all the Tracker files in the correct folders. There should be 3 jar files in the lib folder and the main witptracker.jar in the tracker folder.
2: It isn't pathing to your Java installation correctly;

Solution 1. Check you have Java JRE 32bit installed.
Solution 2. Move the WitPTracker folder to the Desktop or C:\
Solution 3. Copy java.exe from your C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin to the WitPTracker folder (remember copy not move)
Solution 4. Change your witptracker.bat file to point to the 32 bit Java executable (you need the quotes because of the space) - this varies on different machines so you'll need to check the path:

32bitOS users
C:\"Program Files"\Java\jre6\bin\java -Xms384m -Xmx512m -jar "WitPTracker.jar"
pause
64bitOS users
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xms384m -Xmx512m -jar "WitPTracker.jar"
pause

3. *** Your Java installation is somehow corrupted. Uninstall and reinstall.

Sorry for the trouble

[Mike Solli]

Damian, thanks for the help. I'll figure it out tomorrow. It's pretty late and the morning will come far too quickly.

Another suggestion.

In the charts (especially into the Industry - Production Chart), have the ability of select what to show.

For example, now I have all HI, Armament, Manpower, Naval Shp, Merchant Shp and Vehicle pool. But since Manpower is in 320.000 I cannot clearly see the trends in the graph.

If I could de-select, HI, Manpower and Armament I could see the graph in a better way

Yep, I totally agree ... I've been meaning to get to that ! Thanks again

[n01487477]

Done ... [;)] Or I could have to axis (one on the right) with a differing scale, but I think this is probably best

[Bliztk]

BRAVO !!! [&o][&o][&o]

Now the following question.

When are you planning to release the next version ?? [;)]

One thread for the main program and a second (temporary) thread when reading in a new turn.

No Problems ... one thing to keep in mind is that using the UpgradeTo(path) may make you think there are more options available ... For instance many of the A6M2's will have to upgrade to the A7M3-J Sam before they can be downgraded ... obviously not an ideal situation. This is because all the A6M2's are carrier capable and the first option to change to non capable is the A7M3-J Sam... then this allows to downgrade. So actually there are very few groups that can upgrade in a timely fashion ... I'm on the fence about PDU ON being this restrictive ... but it's what we've got to work with.

Also there seems to be a bug (or WAD) that I'm going to talk to MichaelM about.

Good point, Damian.
What do you mean when saying about "a bug" (or WAD) here?
Talking about the general concept of PDU? IMHO it should be rather "SPDU" as "Some player defined upgrade"... [;)] I was talking about the single squadron for patrol version of Jude the other day.. uprades are in fact kind of much limited... [:(]

There is also another questionable feature/bug IMHO linked with upgrades.
While you fiddle enough with the upgrades, after some time squadrons seem to lose its first upgrade path available.

I've got many problems with after upgraded bomber squadrons to Helens (IIa) those which should be able to upgrade (according to Tracker) with Ki-48IIb army dive bomber now cannot be upgraded no matter what aircraft you try...
That really makes me angry... out of 12 suadrons available that should upgrade with dive bombers, only 3 are now possible to upgrade -- those that were sitting in China/Harbin with no previous upgrades. I especially miss 8th or 34th sentai that should upgrade with ease without waiting for new airframes... WTF? [&:]

The same can happen with J2M2 or/and N1K1-able squadrons!
The problem is (with the game not Tracker) [;)] that we do not know what we can upgrade with and what we lose if we upgrade a particular squadron. That's very frustrating.

So, even the PDU On is very, very restrictive... IMHO too restrictive and not everything seems to be working fine... JFBs beware what you upgrade and when because you can miss the opportunity.

[viberpol]

Some more details on how to miss an opportunity.
No way to get the Ki-48 IIb upgrade no matter what you try...

[Nomad]

viperpol, if you "upgrade" the April 43 version to Ki-48-IIa Lily, can you then upgrade to the Ki-48-IIb?

Nope. [:(]
The upgrade is lost (forever?).
