June Release: WitPTracker now at 1.6!

[n01487477]

So in the example below the Shinano started to be built when its delay was 1800. The value in Delay is reduced by 180 each turn, while start building increase, al-be-it negatively, by 180 each turn. The two should add up to 1800.

No the delay(days) is reduced by 1 day each turn, unless you accelerate the vessel.

So next turn Delay will say 1001 .. And "WHEN IT .." Started Building will increase to -799.

So at present it is showing the CV will arrive in 1002 Days.

Durability and build cost are the same when you are building normally.

If you accelerate, the durability stays the same, but build cost = durability * 3 (540) and the accelerated delay, the delay will be halved to 501 Days.

Is it starting to make sense ?

[n01487477]

Can you look at this error log? Anything can be done?
This is CHS 155 game.

I'll let Floyd field that one for now, I have an idea, but Floyd seems to have a better handle on these errors than I.

Another thing is it possible to show para units out of all inf units there for allies?

I saw this before and Floyd and I will discuss it before we start on the next build ... thanks.

Just wanted to confirm in the Production -> Regional Industry Tab, to see the details you must click horizontally to go vertically, sorry ... I'll try to fix it sometime.

So if you're at Japan Oil Fcty Cell, and want to go to Formosa Oil Cell, click horizontally so you are off the Oil cell (like Res Cell) then click Formosa Oil Cell ..

Naval Ship Building - If a ship is Halted, and when you try to use the calculation function to change it back to either Normal or Accelerated, it does not calculate the cost. I just ran into this problem with my EA game. The two columns on the far right don't change values.

Will it update if you exit to another screen and return?

Damian says its broken and is on his list of things to fix.

Everything works perfectly except 3 aspects of the calculator ...

1. halted ships being calculated returning to building.
2. and status change for ships that say queued ...
3. initially the same as the real picture if you are accelerating ships outside the "normal build period"

I think that is it ... And yes, bugs are a priority for me ...

[drizzt73]

what does this tracker do?

[n01487477]

In short it looks at the savegamefile, takes information and displays it to the user in a "hopefully" friendly & useful manner ... it works for both Allies and Japanese players .
Here is a list of what is covered... & what it tracks ...
 Alerts
 Devices
 Ship Classes
 Bases
 Aircraft
 Aircraft Comparison
 Ship Upgrades
 Ship Repairs
 Air Production
 Industry
 Leaders
 Resources
 LCUs
 Air Groups and Pilots
 Task Forces
 Ships
 Ship Production
 LCU Production
 Victory Points
 Summary
Or you could just download it and fire it up (make sure you have java installed)/ read the pdf at the same site ...

Welcome aboard, I hope ...

Hi all, hoping someone can help me. I just downloaded the WitpTracker and followed the instructioons but when I double click on the .bat file nothing happens.
One thing I didn't do which may be the casuse is the part about -

"Copy the save game file to the directory.
This step is only temporary - we'll try to make it so you can load the file right from program's folder."

I don't understand what I have to do here. Isn't the save game file already in the directory?

[n01487477]

Depends where you put Tracker, but usually it is run from a location outside the game ...
Hence you need to copy the save file over to this location ...

Make sure there are none of the files highlighted are there in your folder ... delete them. (If you had a first time error only or if you want to restart the DB afresh)

In the witptracker.properties file enter your details. Follow the instructions to enter...

If you still have a problem, open a dos box and go to the directory you installed Tracker and run the bat file ... eg. c>witptracker.bat

If there is an error message ... let me know

[Chris21wen]

Tracker works by reading the data from a save game file each turn E.g. witp002.pws. To do this it need the file to be in the same folder that tracker is installed it. Simply copy the save file into the tracker folder and in the tracker.properties file use this name were it says save file. Note that you will have to copy the save file to tracker folder everytime you want to update tracker.

n01487477 supplied pictures, better than a thousand words.

Looks like I was updating the assignment status of a leader (to unassigned) twice for the same turn. I don't know why I'm doing that (nothing really stands out staring at the code), but I suppose for now you can ignore the errors, since they are updating something that is already there.

Would it be possible for you to send me turn 114, turn 115 and the witptracker.properties file?

[skrewball]

Will there be a function that will allow you to import a large number of turns?

Bonjour,

Maybe some reminders but I did not find any post on them:
- On the Ships screen: the crew experience shown is the opposite (ie N/D instead of D/N like the header says)
- On the Task Forces screen: I can't see any ASW mission. Instead, they are shown as Surface Combat

I also had a problem in reading a turn (the 4th one). The Progress bar stopped at "Compare Task Forces" for minutes. I decided to stop the application and start again. The Alerts screen confirmed that the turn had been partly read. I decided to read it again and of course I received many error messages in the DOS box.
I can only see the last ones like this one:
 Table=VictoryPoints Values=(10,2513,7674,56,156,330)
java.sql.SQLException: Violation of unique constraint $$: duplicate value(s) for
column(s) $$: SYS_PK_109)
But, after a quick check on the screens, I can't see any problem on the DB.
What should I do, should I continue or should I start again a new db from the beginning?
Thanks.
Hervé

That's great Floyd, thanks.

Finally I can reproduce the problem. The Progress bar stop at "Compares Task Forces". I can change Screens, and I can read again the turn. The second try works with some error messages in the DOS Box. It happens with the 5th turn read (8, 9, 11, 14 and 16th of december 1941)
There is no error message when the progress bar freezes.
If I read again the turn when the progress bar is blocked, then the process goes to the end but the alert screen is not complete. (no leaders and air group alert)
If I stop and restart the application, and I read again the turn, the process goes to the end successfully but at least one Base alert comes twice. The Victory Points are also doubled.
