Basic questions here, I'm a little slow. Can you clarify a few of your definitions? THanks.
On the Device Screen, you have the following columns: Pool, Need, Used,Draw, ...
Pool = # devices available to be moved into a unit
Need = Total delta between TOE and actual unit device loads (?) Correct - we compute that
Used = game (month?, day?) usage of device (?) This comes from the save file, so it should be the Used So Far column from the Industry/Troops/Resource Pool window in the game
Draw = ??? Used from pool last turn - we compute that
Then on the History screen for a specific device you have (on the bottom half): Amt, TOE, Delta, Repl
Amt = current # of devices in that unit
TOE = current TOE of that device in that unit
Delta = ??? (Somethimes this looks like Amt - TOE, but most of the time it is a value that I cannot reconcile ... like 26 - 36 = 0) Is this not yet fully implemented? It's fully implemented. It should always be the current turn's count - last turn's count
Thanks for a great tool. Very useful.
PS: running 1.7.1 ...
Floydg,
Looking at this more, Does your Draw calc take in account fragments loaded on ships and then disembarking? I ask , becuase I have Draw numbers where the Active numbers haven't changed since the previous turn. I guess it could be that I lost exactly that many in combat that were replaced that turn, but I have 4 instances of this and that seems to be a bit too coincidental. Or not?
Reason this is coming up to me is that I have a sudden, huge VEH pt expenditure (+600 pts) in a turn and I am trying to chase down what I "trucked up" (to quote 1275 psi!, my fav AAR). So far, examining the device page, I'm only finding about 300 pts worth ...
Appreciate your assistance. Again, thanks for a GREAT tool.

WiptTracker worked fine until today. Had an Adobe update but that was all. Attached is the Cmd window error code ..... any insight as to what is wrong or what I should try ?
Thanks in advance

I can't find in tracker or in the game under devices anything for this ( 20 MM MG 151Cannon ) for the Tony 61-lc.

Draw is simply computed by taking what an LCU had before and comparing it with what it has now. So yes, if an LCU unloaded, the parent unit would have a "false" draw. It's pretty complex to check if the LCU got additional devices as part of an unloading.

Yes, it's device 166 in the GC. Could be a mistake in the scenario, but I don't think the device "side" for aircraft cannons has any bearing on the game.

Isn't that how they come up with the gun value?? Shouldn't this be corrected?

I don't think the game cares about the side setting when it computes the gun value. I know WitPTracker doesn't care... [:D]

Floyd, Damian, I just came across a discrepancy between Tracker 1.7.1 and the game. Scenario 1, LCU ID number 6718, 14th British Brigade is listed in Tracker assigned to the Eastern Army (R) command. The game does not have Eastern Army listed as a restricted command. In a test, I was able to load the 14th onto ships. Not sure where the (R) comes from in Tracker.
Somehow WitPTracker thinks the Eastern Army is static... Not sure why...[&:]

It should be loading all days.
Here's an example of what I see in Tracker and the original sigint file. Note that although I have it set to "current day" if I do 3 days it goes back to the 2-day-before report, no day 44 items shown. I didn't check every single one of the day-1 items,but most/all are missing. Look, for example, at 5th Field Artillery planning an attack on Singapore. Not present in tracker.

Known bug that will be fixed in the next release.
I'm not a software type, but think it odd to work for so long and all of sudden, doesn't, unless it's linked to the Adobe update ........ Second and most important, does this mean I'm w/o WitpTracker until the next release ? .....

The routine to read from the save file just grabs blocks of data and tries to determine what it is. In this case, it looked like a real LCU, but it wasn't. Somehow the way the game was "invalidating" an LCU changed (latest patch, likely) and when you unloaded an LCU, the previous fragment was marked as unused in the 'new' way, but WitPTracker thought it still was valid. This made a mess of the history routine.
And yes, until we make a new release, there's no fix.

I seem to have a problem with tracker recently taking forever to load. Today it must have been 3 or 4 minutes (felt like 15!) Is there something I can do to speed things up a bit?

Andrew - how many turns have you got loaded? I can only say that after about 2-3 months of turns I dump the DB and start again... not all that good but until the day Floyd and I implement a better way(and neither of us has the time at present) - this is what you'll have to put up with.
I do have plans to speed up some of my area's of production which really do take an eon to load, but that might not happen for a while (or at least until my next vacation - work is killing me at present & my health hasn't been the best either)
...
Guys -
I've started working on some stuff but I think it will take too long to get into the next version - so I'm going to send Floyd a few small fixes and tell him to release a 'fixed' version. New features will have to wait for later.
Cheers
