now it shows me this error message :

Just checking your message - You installed Java (both 32 & 64) in the same location ? Or is that wrong ? They should be in different locations. Is there any reason you need 64 bit java installed?

You are still getting the same error message as before...which makes me think either Java is not the correct version, you've not copied the correct pwsdll.dll into the Tracker folder or the C++ lib is not right.

So what would I do?
1. Uninstall java (again) - if you installed in both locations. Reinstall just 32 bit.
2. Double check you've copied the right pwsdll.dll into the tracker folder.
3. Do a windows update to check you've got the latest C++ 2005 redist installed.(It needs to be the 32 bit version)
4. Delete Trackerdb.* files and try again.
failing that, try this file
http://sites.google.com/site/witptracke ... ects=0&d=1
extract to tracker folder and try.

I know this is a OMG moment - but sometimes it is a bit fiddly to get Tracker working properly on 64 bit OS. It's not impossible, just need to have some patience.

You should be able to have both iirc. But uninstall 2010 for now. The 2005 x32 version is what you need. You'll probably have to do a windows update after install as well. This is wwhat I have running on my computer

Well i got quite the same as you

I tried again to run Tracker but got the same error message ... i give up for tonite (its 2:30 am here[>:])
Just dont know what the problem is and im getting pis*** at it ...

1. Uninstall java (again) - if you installed in both locations. Reinstall just 32 bit. done
2. Double check you've copied the right pwsdll.dll into the tracker folder. done
3. Do a windows update to check you've got the latest C++ 2005 redist installed.(It needs to be the 32 bit version) done
4. Delete Trackerdb.* files and try again. done

thanx again and i'll read your answer tomorow

Hi Gents,

It's more a query than an issue.

How does Tracker get it's information when you get an enemy ship sunk alert in the Alerts section?

For example, one of my subs attacked an xAKL in one of the earlier turns but it seemed to have survived the hit, I then get an update on the ship being sunk quite a few turns later but there's nothing in any of the reports that show this, usually you get something like xAK Something Maru is reported to have been sunk near Singapore on Dec 15, 1941 but on this particular turn there isn't anything about the xAKL. The thing is I'm pretty sure I'll get the reported to have been sunk thingy for the xAKL in the next turn or two. Just curious about how Tracker extracts it's info. Hope I made sense in that jumble of words.

Hi Arnhem -
all of the alerts are generated by comparing the previous data held in the DB from the savefiles to the new turn. In this instance, the ship (which was previously sunk) had the data point for its FOW sunk changed - so that you can now see it's sunk. I would say that if you opened the gameturn you should be able to see it is now displaying sunk too.

Hope that makes sense too .[;)]

Fully appreciate that, just lets sling another one in there as well for 'if you ever find the time'.

Would be great to have a ship comparison in the same way as a plane comparison.......

Anyone got tracker runnning on Android?

Hi Damian,

Thanks for the explanation. Makes sense to me now!

Would it be possible to have a check box that suppressed all the delay 9999 entries on the view being looked at (LCU, ship, group, or device).

A lot of the 9999 are items that are not in play due to being a small map or old items from stock. Some items have a correct 9999 from AE's perspective (like TOE, group returning).

I am thinking that these extraneous items could suppressed by a check-box rather than filtering on delay which you probably wish to do after suppressing the never-arrive items.

Ok I have been working to get Tracker working on and off for a week or so (most of the issue has been lack of time due to travel and work). I had it run and was able to load one turn but when I go to run it again I am now getting the error below - was a able to load a Turn 99 and see the details

Thoughts?

Followed the instructions to the letter. I have a Windows 7 64 bit machine (like millions of others in 2012). The program bombed - because of some incompatibility error between JAVA & the program. IMO - this is just plain laziness by developer. I am now expected to do the extra leg work myself to make JAVA and this program compatible. [:(]

I guess everyone is entitled to their opinion, but just maybe you need to think through some facts here.

The two 'developer's have put an immense amount of time and energy into both creating this invaluable tool, and supporting it with great patience and courtesy.

Its freely given by them.......

We have an expression over here 'don't look a gift horse in the mouth'.

Both Damian and Floyd normally give responses to people's problems as fast as they can, seriously your tone is not likely to get a helpful response, though I suspect they are gentlemen enough to do so despite your very hostile approach.

14 posts so far to the forum, maybe read a bit more and rant a bit less?

+1.

And nothing is "expected" of you regarding using Tracker.

If you can find a way to get the Windows DLL to run, you'd be fine, I suppose. Otherwise, SOL...

Nobody is making you use the program.

Never seen that one before. Sounds like something got corrupted in the database file. Could you try wiping out the trackerdb.* files and re-initialize the database? Perhaps something got messed up then and this is some later evidence of the problem.

Floyd

for some reason everytime it loads up bases...it stops and can't do it..I have the latest tracker and the latest version..any help? ohits a 32 bit..I get some error that some info is too big..or something..if you need more information I can provide it.
