What the heck does "bump" mean?

It's a filler post, when you want to make sure your thread stays on page 1; every time something is posted, the thread gets "bumped" to the front.

Just another shameless opportunity to increase one's post count [;)]

Yes, but of course if you haven't saved the sigintel/operations/combat reports from previous turns, this info won't be available. (If you have got it saved somewhere, contact me and I'll let you know how to make it available).

Bodhi, is it possible to make a zoom tool, so we can zoom in/out on the map?
I think it could be useful for a better strategic view and planning over specific areas.

Good idea, spent a bit of time on the train this morning thinking about how it could be implemented. Would be a nice thing to try, both from the user interface and programming aspects. Unfortunately, the rate at which I'm working on the update, I doubt it'll see the light of day anytime soon, if at all. However, one part of the update may be useful for strategy and planning in specific areas. I've just got to stop playing the damn game and get coding! [:D] Maybe now that the Solomon Islands appear secure and Rabaul is taken, I may do some more before I start my next offensive.

Hi all,
Good!
I keep my fingers crossed for new version that would contain the spotted TFs vectors... [8D]

They're already in my version. [;)]
Here's a quick screen to show they'll look. They look a bit different on a cluttered map, but I think it's still possible to get useful info at a glance.
Apart from the direction, the width gives an indication of the TF size, and the colour an indication of speed. In the example the TFs are, from top to bottom:
Code: Select all
#Ships Speed Knts
1 1
3 5
6 10
9 15
12 20
15 25
So yellow->red is slow->fast, and thin->thick is small->large.

That sure looks great. Since we don't get many WitP patches anymore, some of us eagerly await yours!

Bohdi,
Would be also be able to add an option with allows you to define how dates are shown in the various screens i.e. DD/MM/YYYY, MM/DD/YYYY, YYYY/MM/DD, etc.

Oh dear, I hope you won't be too disappointed when the next one comes out - hopefully before the next WitP patch. [;)]

Hi Jim,
That should be possible. I don't remember hard-coding a specific format, so the one you're seeing should come from your regional setting under Windows. If that's not the case and, I guess, you're seeing DD/MM/YY, then I've probably hard-coded it after all! I can't get along with the American way of displaying dates, and get annoyed when some programs disregard my Windows setting and always display them the American way, so I may have been extracting my revenge. [:'(] [;)]
I plan to do a bit more on the utility over the weekend, so I'll take a look then.

Bodhi,
Firstly thank you this great utility.
ANother suggetsion I have which I am not sure if you can do. A useful report to filter into another tab is if intel reports that the emeny is planning an attack on a certain location.
