floydg: a new folder with new installation return an error at startup (out_of_bounds) in the dosbox - didn't have this one before

Yeah, I'm guessing the save file has some problems. I've seen cases where only a subset of the data is present in the save, which is causing problems.

A nifty capability to have on the LCU screen would be to have one of the "Special" categories display paratroop capable units.

Just a thought.

Next release will have it. Also "Cavalry" displayed/searchable.

Sounds great!
As you speak of LCUs, anyway you could show units that can change there HQs?
At the moment it's impossible to find those units that a really permanently restricted for example West Coast HQ and those that are in a restricted HQ but can change there HQ.
Would be nice to have the same for air groups.

And is it possible to add a Nation filter to the Aircraft screen?

Not sure if this is the same thing and apologies if it is, but since I upgraded to the latest patch (ver m5), tracker won't run and I get the attached error message. Reinstalled Tracker ver 1.8 with the .dll file in the tracker install but this is all I get. I am running XP (on a VM on a Mac). Any suggestions I love my tracker and can't imagine living without it.

I have the same issue with the AWT-EventQueue-0 error with the new Beta m5a. I have reloaded the C++ librarys, did a fresh install of Tracker 1.8 and still have the error. Tracker will not get past the DOS screen. Just wanted you to know. The previous Betas worked fine btw.

I think checking to see if Tracker worked or not should be part of the Beta test process before releasing any more Betas [:)]

This happens when there are no air groups read in... Can you try an experiment and initialze a fresh database (in a different WitPTracker installation folder, if you'd like) with the save file and see if you get the same error?

Since I'm not using the latest beta, I can't reproduce all of these problems... [;)]

That is what I meant when I said a fresh install of Tracker 1.8. New folder, new database, etc. [:)]  Still have the same issue and error message.

Edit:
Did some more testing using a save game file from a previos time in the game (before the new beta was used). Still get the same error, so it does not look like it is a save game file issue.

I guess there is some issue with the new beta and the DLL that comes with it, and WitPTracker. Some people seem to have gotten it to work, and I don't know what the magic formula is.

Maybe you can only use the DLL with WitPTracker that actually wrote the save. Can you try saving a turn with the new beta/DLL and then use a fresh database with that save and see if that works?

Just grasping here - wanna get everyone back up and running, but I'm flying blind...

I can do the Nation filter (easy), but what's the trick to determining which units can change their HQ? I can guess, but I usually get it wrong... [;)]

Well determining which units can change their HQ helps you to see what a player can use from those restricted areas, it's annoying to search all those units for the one that you can push into action.
Although I must admit that the player could do this onces and just add something to the Notes row on the LCU screen.

OK - but in XP the update for the C++ Libraries is not automatic (and sometimes with other OS's too). So you need to download those other updates manually

As per suggestion from michaelm I have got tracker working now with 1108m5 beta.

Installed 2 recent microsoft updates to c++ libraries kb2467175 and kb 2467174. see details on link

Installed 2 recent microsoft updates. And KB2467173 too. Rebooted.
Runned Tracker 1.8.
Starting save is from 1108m3 - loaded (initialized) succesfully.
Next save is from 1108m5 - load stops at stage "Compare Bases". Progress bar frozed at middle, no messages in DOS screen. Waited 5 minutes - nothing [:(]

I have created a zip of the latest DLL and put it in the Beta thread on Support Forum.

When did you use the old dll and when did you use the new dll. The M3 uses the old, the M5+ uses the new dll ..

Of course this might not be the issue, as there might be something else changing - but I'd like a reply to narrow down what's going on.

Thanks

OK - but my concern is that it should be a save done under M3 should use the old dll and the saves after M5 should use the new one...

Thanks again.

[edit] just noticed Micheal said that the M6 does both ... check the M6 dll for details

Damian,

Thank you for Tracker [&o].
I played some turns without it - very uncomfortable.

After installing both new c++ redistributables, adding new pwsdll to the folder - it works again! Thank you very much! I thought I have to live without this magnificent tool, but with your support it's fine again

Just please make it load in less than 200 seconds (j/k)

I understand the use of it, but I was looking for a reliable algorithm to actually show it.

Hi,
still got problems running the tracker with the Beta m5/6

I´ve sent an eMail with my problems to witptracker@gmail.com

Thanks for your Support
