Three small bugs I've noticed

1- In the map module, sometimes, clicking on a hex doesn't select it, but selects a neighbouring one. This seems to happen when one clicks on even numbered hex rows.
2- when loading a new turn, if I am on the victory points/ship sunk screen (might happen with others, though), the table seems to go a bit awry. Sometimes, data does not get loaded into the table, and the table loses its sort order (even though the sort marker remains). Other tables (eg Airgroups) don't get redrawn when the loading ends.
3- in the ships table, the experience (day and night) column doesn't sort right

I'll take a look. I know for #1, my algorithm was a bit off...
Delete the trackerdb.* files.
Copy the pwsdll.dll file from the game folder to the WitPTracker folder.
Try running the WitPTracker.bat again.

Maartenr - are you playing as the Allies ? If so, you can do nothing it is up to the scenario designer what you get and I wouldn't worry about production in this case. The Allies get plenty.

Many of them have mouse over conversions ... and "sometimes I prefer" to hear people say "please" and "thank you" -- cause we do this for nothing!

Sorry you prob. caught me in a bad mood cause my CV strike just failed!

[edit]note to self ... calm down it's only a game. Sorry Blitzk you caught the venom - no hard feelings.[:'(]

Thanks for the cool and important tool, cant imagine to play a PBEM without it.

Request: I have searched on the tracker page a few times but is there nothing like a donate button to donate some bucks for some beer for the tracker team ?

Where we can put a date, we do. In most cases, the save file only has a number of days and converting to a month/day/year takes a bit of code.

Not sure what you're griping about. I downed a few planes, but you sufficiently ventilated a CVE... [;)]

We discussed this and decided the only incentive we needed was encouragement. See post 1927... [;)]

Sorry, since I have post a ton of nonsense requests for features in this thread to be added to the tracker I forgot the basic THANKS for the wonderful labor of love that it`s called WitpTraker AE.

You should put the button for "donate beer" in your website [:)]

Thanks ... yes we had to abbreviate some of the information due to space limitations... I'll try to make some of it more meaningful in the future.
So "sy" means supply and in this case the factory doesn't have enough supply (10K) to repair any damaged or expanded factories.

Floyd and I had good intentions of filling the Tracker web site with info ... [8|]

Hi!

As I saw this thread I started thinking how could I contribute. I started up tracker searching for a way to find airframe production history, but unfortunately in the industry overview tab the airframe count history is not implemented, and in the air production tab the total doesn't have a history. Is there any way I could somehow 'find' a monthly production history, or something like that?

Thanks!

Yeah it's possible I'll see about implementing it in what will be a fairly big update sometime in the future...

Of course, the severity of this depends on which bit was off in the algorithm: MSB, LSB, or something in-between [:D]

Guys,
Still loving this tool.

1 question though. On the alerts page what should be show under the critical dropdown as I have never seen anything on this page.

I have just passed 1000 turns (have needed to reset the DB 3 Times so far (after about 300/400 turns loads very slowly)) and the allies are destroying my industry left right and centre (eg Osaka is only a smoking hole now). I thought this would bwe classed as critical.

Yeah we've never used the critical alert - so far ... Floyd and I have talked about adding some for the next release.

Thanks for the support
