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

The economic stuff added for the next release is all "critical".

I am a Newbie playing as Japanese. I am trying to install Tracker on my Dell machine running Vista 64 bit OS. I've downloaded Java and the C++ as directed in the setup instructions, but am getting the "Can't load IA 32-bit.dll on AMD 64 bit platform" message when I run the batch file.

I've tried moving the java.exe file to the folder where Tracker is located (as suggested my an earlier post) but am having no luck. I am no computer whiz, so I am wondering if there a "Complete Idiot's Guide" to installing Tracker on a system running Vista 64-bit.

Thanks in advance for any help you can send my way.

Ha! Never mind guys, I screwed up and copied java.exe from the "Programs Files" folder and not the "Program Files (x86)" folder. Once I copied the 32 bit version of java.exe from the "Program Files (x86)" folder, Tracker appears to have loaded as expected.

Thanks to n01487477 for his post on another thread for illuminating me on my error.

question concerning the base list, what numbers make up the NAV column, seattle has 330 but i dont see or cant add any numbers to get the 330, also, would be nice to have supp req/have and avisuppreqd/have in a list to see what bases i need to move support units too or take some away?

Hi, I got this pwsdll.dll memory error and don´t know how to fix it. I´m able to load 3 turns until tracker stops loading the turn.



I´ve put the xms and xmx to max and got the same result. same with nomap...

The number outside the quotes is direct naval support at the base and the number inside the quotes is naval support projected from other HQ in range.

It appears to be failing to load the pwsdll.dll file to read the save file. Instead of increasing the memory, since I don't think that's the problem, can you set it back to the defaults and see if that makes a difference?

Isn´t 384/512 the default seize? or should i go below these

Yes, these are the defaults. Please try them.

try using -Xms256m -Xmx512m, it is working for me after getting that error

first: it is working now
as long as tracker is inside the WITP folder, the turns are loading. if i put tracker somewhere else i get the memory error [8|]

Another small problem... In the Industry tab, the "production" tab is too high, and never gets a scroller. On a "not too high" screen (notepad sized), one cannot see the bottom of the page.

Francois

again...
after restarting my tracker stops loading any turns



I´ve tried to change the xmx/s to any higher or lower seize and got the same result.

any ideas?

What is the maximum screen resolution you can run ?

I know the production screen has inbuilt problems for lower resolution ... I just have to recode the whole thing eventually...

1280x800.

Ok - you've spurred me on to re-writing the whole production screen as soon as I've put the finishing touches on some of the other area's I'm up to my elbows-in.

Not sure why I went above the 800 pixel resolution boundary, but I'll at least make a fix for next release if I can't finish re-writing the whole thing.

Sorry...

No need to be sorry, Tracker really is a great tool (and there are lots of products you pay for which have more bugs, and WAAAY less user support...).

If I may venture a suggestion, I suspect most of the problem here lies with the "double tab" system. The industry tab is a group of tabs inside a unique "production tab". Now, I believe the resizing problem comes from that "top tab", which serves no purpose. So, perhaps, just removing it...

Ok guys, here's what I get whenever I try to open tracker. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

is this after uninstalling and reinstalling Java32 like I said?

Mike - I'm off to bed now ... please post a screen shot of the error message and I'll get back to you tomorrow sometime...

If this is the same error as before I'd really start with uninstalling Java and reinstalling it again. The 32 bit version ...

If that doesn't fix it then it's a Java pathing problem that I'll have to talk you through.
.. or you can have a look at this (might be something in you windows install)

Hell, I can't remember. I suspect that means I didn't. I have some time before my flight leaves. Let me give it a try. [:D]
