Did you upgrade from a previous release or did you start fresh?

You can tell if WitPTrackerAE knows PDU is on or off by looking at the "Scenario" tab in the Summary panel.

Hi,

That's it![:)]
WitPTrakerAE doesn't know that I'm playing PDU ON (it's not a fresh start). How can I tell it without losing the previous turns? [&:]

Hi,

I have a problem with the newest version of tracker (the problem might not be the tracker but I don't know)

I'm using the newest Ubuntu as my main operating system, and I'm running AE in a virtual windows xp Sp3 in virtualbox. I have the latest java installed and the problem is that tracker doesn't want to load in a new turn. I press the load turn button and nothing happens. The prefs file is set up correctly (I'm sure of this, as I copied the whole thing from my old windows partition).

Does anyone have any guess what might be the problem? Is there some log somewhere I can check (no exception is thrown...).

Thank you!

Sorry Mitor - I think that you'd need to reinitialize. I haven't checked the code but I'm pretty sure we only read that information on the first initialization.

Sorry I've not tested Tracker on Linux - Floyd might have though I think he uses a Mac ... there is no log file for this type of problem. Everything else work ok ? - like region Defs? How about using multi-read turn ?

I'm sure others

Thanks for the reply.

The thing is that technically it's running on a completely normal XP, which uses Java compiled for windows. So..... [&:]

Multi-read turn does the same thing, with one exception: the cursor turns into an hourglass like it's working, but nothing actually happens, and I can click around and see any of the tabs I want.

Other than this everything works perfectly, I can browse the database I already have (I have two PBEMs, lots of turns...) without a problem. All the features work fine (the new ones as well).

It's really strange.

I have a little script that can fix up the database to turn PDU on. Send an e-mail to witptracker @ gmail.com and I'll send it.

Yes, that is really strange. I assume all you did was replace the witptracker.jar file, right? Can you also replace the pwsdll.dll file and see if that makes a difference?

Can you try an experiment and see if you can initialize a new database (new folder - don't lose your old stuff) with the new version using any turn you have lying around?

Floyd

No, when a new version comes I usually copy everything except the .properties file. So far it worked fine.

I tried creating a new DB, but I cannot as it throws an exception.
(picture attached)

I tried replacing the pwsdll.dll, but it's the same. But now I see that there is an exception when I press the read turn button. So far I had tracker in full screen and did not notice it (sorry, I'm stupid, should have checked the command line). It's the same exception with the original tracker pwsdll.dll, and with the new beta exe's dll.
(I'll attach the other exception in the next post)

And here's the other one

Can you re-try the older version (1.6.1)?

It's the same exception.

Thanks for looking into this!

I send an e-mail right now

I just runned into a strange problem. Most is self explaining or explained in the attached
screenshot.
The resource history works only for the home islands correct. Or better said the areas Japan had under control at game start.
At least i have definitely that problem for Luzon, Burma and Java and Malaya.
Very strange thing. I´m using the latest (beta) patch and tracker version 1.70.
Maybe you can tell me what is wrong here.

Ok well the unsatisfied Link error is the problem to all your worries and why the game won't load a turn too. So at least we know what is wrong.

This is cause iirc from not having the 32 bit C++ redistributable installed correctly. Uninstall it and reinstall (if it's installed) ... both the 95 C++ and sometimes the 98 C++ Redistributable are fickle.

OK - this is a real problem now (others have seen it too) - seems to be a memory display problem from what I can tell. I'll have to do some testing and see what can be done.
Sorry.

Tested a little and this is a real problem with Tracker calculating the Raw Material histories - it is not a Display problem. It doesn't effect the Base histories but does for the Production screen histories. Floyd and I changed some things here ... I'll see what I can do this weekend to find a fix.
[edit] Seems to be specifically with bases newly ... and the histories seem to be incorrectly showing region histories where bases aren't even captured (no you're not seeing the opposing side) - just the ordering is wrong.
Regards and Happy New Year

OK - I think I've fixed this. Comes from one of us cleaning up the base histories when they are not owned and then the program thinks that turn 1 is the first history found...

Once New Year is over I think we might have to make a 1.7.1 - might push a little extra in too [;)]

[edit] Also fixed a null pointer for airPool's that some people have been experiencing with IronMan.

You guy´s are great. Many thanks.
As i wrote to my opponent without tracker i´m dead [:)]

Will there be a way to restore my resource history with the new version or do i have to reset the database ?

No need - It's not a DB problem - it's an internal coding problem. You could use 1.6.1 as a backup for now.

Cheers and have a good New Year's

That are good news Damian. I´ll use the base history then for now to
reconfigure my resource convoys. After the last patches they need some adjustments..

Yep - I reported the resource problems in the Beta ... MichealM just posted about it in the tech section
