Thanks again fcharton, but it is still not working. I am giving up now, as I have been going on it for 6 hours and getting nowhere, it is getting me down now.

error message now -

and this is my line now -

It couldn't find the save game. You will need to look at the first line of the witptracker.properties file and make sure that the correct path to the game folder is there.

Also make sure you have the correct .dll file in the Tracker folder. If you are running a Beta version of AE then copy the .dll file from the Beta folder into the Tracker folder.

error message now -

The file name actually looks wrong - should be wpae005.pws
Check the entry in the properties file. Should look something like
SaveFile=[wpae005.pws]
to load save wpae005.pws

If you have the java.exe directory in your environment variables, you shouldn't need to put the full path of java.exe in your .bat file... Just saying. So it seems java is not in your environment variables - it should be if you plan to use it for anything and don't want to have to type out C:\"Program Files....\java.exe" every time. You can just type "java" instead.

Also yes, that looks like a problem in the properties file. Java is now working fine.

The problem, on recent machines, is that you tend to have several "java.exe" installed. On 64 bit windows, the default path for Java point to the 64 bit java, whereas Tracker wants the 32 bit version. On recent machines, you usually will have jre7 installed by default, whereas Tracker wants jre6.

Unless you know very well what you are doing, I don't think changing an environment variable like the java path is a good idea. Chances are you'll break something elsewhere.

I have a beautiful sight this morning, thank you to all you Guys that helped me here. You have made a Big Bird very happy. Yes it was the missing 'full-stop' that did it, and thanks again, I now have workable Tracker -

Suddenly got a problem with tracker, it won't open. See pic for problem.

Looks like you ran out of memory. Since you're running with the defaults, you can increase the memory size or run without the map (-nomap).

Reply to Chris H:
your command line is missing the "-Xms384m -Xmx512m" part.
Also you could try "-Xms512m -Xmx768m"

How easy would it be to put a search box on some of the screens? I'm looking for LCUs and it take forever to scroll to find soem of them - a search of filter on the unit name or location would be great.

Yeah, that would be good. Now just to find the time...

Seems a bit weird as you're doing all the right things from what you've mentioned.
I guess your game is running the latest patch - right ?
-What C++ libraries do you have installed? Make sure they're the latest...

-Delete all the trackerdb.* files
-try this in your batch file.
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xms384m -Xmx512m -jar "WitPTracker.jar"

[edit] Just re-read your first about where java 64 bit is ... you need to point to where the 32 bit version is ...
64 bit will not work with tracker

Don;t worry we'll get you up and running sometime.

First of all thanx Damian for the quick answer
How do i do that, pointing to the right java that is ?
I got the C++ 2005 redistribuable, 2005 redistribuable (x64), 2008 redistribuable x64, 2008 redistribuable x86, 2010 x 86 redistribuable.

and yes latest patch

Héhé i did read it crossward (can u say that?) like the genious guy in Criminal minds who could read the whole bible in like 38 seconds [:D][:D]
Well ive been kind of a reader until now, never posted. Been reading the good stuff you guys wrote aboute the game and of course some AAR helped me get going. Ive played only against AI and only Japan but getting started is hard and i beleave the Tracker being of much help.
BTW does the Tracker work with RA 4.0 ?

Alright so I'm having some issues with using the tracker. I looked at the support section and I *think* I rectified the issues that I'm using a 64 bit computer but I could be wrong. Heres a picture of the error message I'm receiving:



I know enough Java to be able to identify the problem if I had the source code but I don't. However, judging from the error message I'm getting it seems that the error is in loading engines from the database. Probably trying to access an object that does not exist thus resulting in a null pointer exception. I'm using the very latest version of WitP AE so I'm wondering if changes in the engine database could have caused this. Thanks for your assistance!

Sorry - been sleeping in my part of the world.
In this batch file, the path is set to where 32 bit Java is usually installed. Although in your first email you stated that its in your system32 folder. You need to determine where it's installed and then change the batch to point to it or uninstall both 64 and 32 Java and reinstall to the defaults.

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xms384m -Xmx512m -jar "WitPTracker.jar"

This is not a java coding problem. You need to copy the pwsdll.dll from the game directory into Tracker overwriting the old dll there. The new patch uses a different dll.
