WitpDecoder; Now providing some overview

[scout1]

Does it work on pbem ? And is it available for beta test to the general public ....

[Admiral DadMan]

OMG... it just might tempt me to be an IJN player...

And suck just as badly...

[Mifune]

"Ok tell me the truth......did I just die and go to heaven?" Geez my first sentiments then followed by looking at the calendar and ensuring it was not Aprils Fools day. Wow I need to fire up this puppy and see it in action.

[Admiral DadMan]

Tell me the truth: Mogami isn't joining ONG, he's been captured and stuffed into the "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" machine...

Is there any error reporting process?

Whenever I try to load a savegame file it crashes to desktop...

Maybe I don't have the most u to date Java version... Any chance of a link to the latest version which this is known to work with?

This should prove VERY useful indeed.

Same problem as Nemo - except I know this is to do with my password,

Which save file should I be using, and what format should the password be in?

My password is not weird - but it does start with a capital letter - could that be it?

[michaelm75au]

Does it work for PBEM?
And if so, does it only show the data for the player that has entered the correct password?

Ok it is a password issue - I tried again with an against AI save and voila it works - and looks great!

Hopefully we can get by the password problem easily because this will be extremely handy.

Nice tool definately. However I'm bit worried about the development. Now we have a tool to decode save game files. When we will have a tool for encode save game files? If decoding was possible it means it should be easy to modify your own save games and thus enable cheating, e.g. putting those tie fighters to IJN CVs to encounter Corsairs.

In principle it should work with passwords. But I only tested that very cursorly [sp?] with first turn saves since I don't play PBEM. What does the error message on the console say? Anyone willing to send me a few saves from an old PBEM including password?
The tool should work with PBEM save games as well as with the automatic PBEM End-Of-OrderPhase save. But if you want to be sure, you should try with a save game.

BTW, anyone having success using the tool on PBEMs?

To answer other questions:

• It also works with PBEMs but only if you provide the correct password. But that was the last but one change I did and seemingly it had a similar effect as the last one .... it doesn't work.
• The password should be in plain ASCII and entered into the witpdecoder.bat file as shown in the "REM" line. No space within it.
• You will have to Alt-Tab out of WitP if you run that in full-screen mode since the tool will run on the Windows desktop.
• There is no "beta test phase". Everyone can download the current version (see top post) and suffer from all my mistakes.
• Yes changing save files would also be possible (wasn't everyone wanting that to avoid restarting after DB updates). But IMHO it's too much work and has a too high chance to corrupt the save game.
• Hallo zurueck aus Deutschland.

[FeurerKrieg]

I don't know what to say, I'm floored by this tool.

This would be incredibly usefull for the allies in 44 45 where the sheer scale of ops is daunting

Woos,
Can your Utility be used in conjunction with Bodhi's Utility?
Bodhi's is good for utilizing the SigInt information, among other things.
