did you solve the problem Maartern or JocMeister? I sue windows 7, java 8 and have exactly the same issue with calendar as shown by JocMeister screen. I checked it does not show up below other screens. It simply gives me error. I tried to manually open the file with txt editor and insert the date there, but still same error

to solve the calendar issue change the time format on your PC to US version. After that you will be able to install it.

Is there a way to make the calendar work without having to set the time format to US version?

I am asking because I would prefer to use my natural version and I am not to keen on the US format

What in the world would have caused this error? I've tried several different Java versions. Same error message I believe.

EDIT: Never mind. I installed the very latest version of 64-bit Java and it's working now. Great tool.

I created an icon for my copy of Combat Reporter and wanted to share. A .zip file with an .ico file for Combat Reporter, as well as Tracker, is attached.

Thanks for this addition, it's a boon for us new players. I'm not all that computer literate, how do you attach a new *.ico file to your
executable when it's started by a batch file? There's this problem for both executables, combat repiorter and tracker both.

First, download the attached .zip file to a place on your computer where you can easily find it and extract the .ico files.

In Windows Explorer, navigate to the folder where you've installed Combat Reporter.

Right-click the 'combatreport.bat' and click on the 'Create shortcut' option as circled here:




Once you've created the shortcut, right-click it just like you did the .bat file, but this time click the 'Properties' option. In the 'Properties' window, click the 'Change Icon' button as shown here:




This part has a few steps for actually changing the icon image of the shortcut.

Step 1: click on the 'Browse' button and find the folder where you previously downloaded and extracted the .ico files.

Step 2: the icon files should appear here; click on the appropriate icon to highlight it in blue.

Step 3: click the 'OK' button.




You should now have a new icon for your Combat Reporter shortcut! You can do the same for Tracker, if you wish. The shortcut can be moved to wherever is convenient for you - the desktop, start menu, etc. I like to keep mine pinned to the start menu (FYI, right-click the shortcut and the option to do this is there) next to the WitPAE shortcut, so all the tools can be easily started with WitPAE.

Just downloaded and set-up CR for the first time. [&o] This is a great tool. Thanks for all the work.

hi, what do i have to do if my map is not in the standart /ART but in /MODS/ART folder?

Is there not a way to show CR where the map art is by browsing? I seem to remember something I browsed
for to point it out to CR.

nvm, it somehow worked after restarting...

I downloaded and installed CR last week. I've been playing this game for 5 years...wow I didn't know what I was missing.CR has really assisted my planning and preparation.

I am using Windows 10, stock map, Scenario #7, Allies vs AI.

The only glitch I have found is ships that are listed as arriving in Portland. When I click that, the map goes to Portland, Australia instead of Portland, USA.

i cant see the map, the developer wrote, the patch 3 is necessary for the map, which is the patch 3? i have updated the witp ae with latest patch 1.71 as far as i know..
it is great tool, i wish i could see the map too!

.

I got the tool running, it loads up the map, but there are no reports. changing the date/time doesn't help.
in what format should i fill in ? windows uses DD/MM/YY 00:00 in24h format, should i ignore this ?
neither can i bring up the calender wich is being explained at the manual

Help ?[&:]

thx

Lately Combat Reporter hangs at loading the map if I have ran it a couple of times. After reboot it runs normally.

Has anybody been able to get this to work in Linux?

I seem to have a problem getting the program to show reports. It runs fine and the window comes up with the map, etc., and I have it set to the first turn I ran, as indicated. I am now on December 12, 1941, but it still won't show any reports, period. I have reinstalled it several times, and done the same with java, and no luck. Tracker works fine and as expected, but I just can't get reports with this program. I am running Windows 10, and WITP-AE is working great. I am not getting any error messages from Combat Reporter, just no reports. I am also running DBB-lite, with no extended map. Any suggestions?

You need to make sure you are using the -archive command line switch and that you point to the archive
directory of your game.
