Web based WITPAE PBEM Viewer

I do hope the two of you have a little chat about this development.

I love Tracker, this gives another layer to its use.

Very nice and I expect a lot of work

I wonder how well this would work with XAMPP for those so inclined and without access to IIS

Thanks guys [:D]

How hard would it be to set this up to read the data from our own Tracker files and see what is happening in our games?

One would need to be particularly computer savvy to set this up right now; would involve running IIS Express. But after its running all it needs is for WITP tracker to export 5 CSVs every turn: AirGroups, LCUs, Bases, TFs and Ships. It also reads the combat reports / sigint reports etc.

I actually happen to be computer savvy [:)] I can definitely get IIS setup and I can get Tracker to export the needed files. So what is Part B? [:)] If you want to take this off line you can PM me.

No need to take it offline, its open source!
Modify the paths in this file: https://github.com/Baloogan/OperationGl ... Program.cs recompile and run WITPJSON.exe, this generates a whole pile of json files, then place them in a directory that satisfies the paths here https://github.com/Baloogan/OperationGl ... dex.cshtml.

Ok I can 'sort of' see what is going on there, but for me, and most people on here we need a line by line walk through if someone could do that please?

Nice, I registered as Cannonfodder. How can I post comments?

Nice, I registered as Cannonfodder. How can I post comments?

Every Ship, Airgroup and Base has its own page,

For example, this here is Pearl Harbor's page http://operationglacier.baloogancampaig ... onGlacierI
And here is the Enterprise's page http://operationglacier.baloogancampaig ... onGlacierI
You open up these pages by clicking on them in the map popups.

Then click here

to start writing a comment.

The comments use https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown Markdown for formatting, so if you put __double underline__ around something it will be bolded.

In the future this process will be made much simpler; right now the process is very complicated and subject to change.

[RogerJNeilson]

I am not sure we should allow you time off to sleep... This looks fantastic and I guess many of us are straining at the leash to get onto using this.

It does not look that simple [:(] From looking at the code there is this section which looks like you are specifying specific ports for your game. So I would need to adjust things a lot more to get this to run just locally it looks like. Or am I over thinking this [:)]

Yeah its definitely not simple atm, those lines are used in configuring IIS not IIS Express. Note where it says "<UseIIS>False</UseIIS>". I did this project to teach myself how to make a site [:D] and its my first site using ASP.NET technology; its not packaged up nicely with a bow on top hehe.

[RoryAndersonCDT]

That being said, if anyone would like to see a map of their units in an AAR or game vs the computer (and you use Tracker) I'd love to try to import and display your data.

I'd be especially interested if you are using a specially modified scenario, I'm curious if the system can handle it.

[Numdydar]

I've got one as Japan against the Allied AI that you could use. I'm in mid '44 and have got a single Tracker file for almost the entire game. The DB is about 1G in size. In case you want to try something really large [:)]

[RoryAndersonCDT]

Sure [:D] Send me your exported Ship, Airgroup, Bases, TFs and LCU's csvs and your most recent report files (Just one set) to baloogan@gmail.com

[RoryAndersonCDT]

oh, and if you are using a modified scenario I'll also need the "WITPair001.csv" etc files from the scenario.

[KenchiSulla]

Ok, thanks


Baloogan, I have registered to see both sides... Are you as players seeing my comments?

[KenchiSulla]

I probably have some time tommorow, I could forward you data for a DBB:C with stacking limits game...

Ok, thanks


Baloogan, I have registered to see both sides... Are you as players seeing my comments?

Nope, the only comments I see are made by folks who are registered with a side restriction only to allies, likewise for TheHistoricalGamer, he can only see comments made by folks locked to japan's side. This helps prevent spoilers [:D]

[KenchiSulla]

Can I switch to just one side?

[oaltinyay]

a-mazing... simply.
