Is there any way to modify the regions in the drop down list?
I'm just doing a region file for RHS mod but didn't really worked down the map and now many regions belonging together are just scattered over the list so I would like to rearrange them to keep regions that belong together also on the list together, any way of doing that?

Got some problems on the industry screen.

On the "Regional Fcy/Resources", "Oil&Res" & "Fuel&Supply" sheets the regions with brackets are ignored, nothing is shown for them when clicking on them, can this be solved?

Another small one is on the Regional Ind/Repair sheet, when I stay in a column and click thru it the info below does not update, it only updates when I change the column.
For example I click on a cell in the oil column and I get the info at the bottom, then I click on the next cell in the oil column and it doesn't update the info at the bottom, only works if I first click a cell in a different column and then back again to the oil column, can this also be solved?

This is WAD. I tried to change this once a long time ago but couldn't get Java to do what I wanted. I'll try again someday - but I have bigger fish to fry[;)]

Thanks, here is the regions file.

Yep, too many letters, words, dashes, hyphens, braces etc ...

I'd have to do a new release to fix this through code... or you can change the region mapping file.

What are the limits now for a region name?

I would prefer if you could fix it thru a new release.
The names are so "complicated" because I wanted to be as precise as possible.

Wow.

WoW what?

I am still trying to figure out how to read some of the screens. What I can get from it so far is helpful. It's simply that wading through 126 pages of posts in hopes of figuring things out is daunting.[&o]

Wow, I can't believe how self important your post made you seem. You may not actually think of yourself that way, but your post came off like a little child asking the two fine gentlemen who have VOLUNTEERED countless months of their own time to build THEIR own tool and shared it with us, that they should change THEIR application and release a new version of it because you are too lazy to edit a simple text file the way it will work with THEIR application.

I really do hope that this was only an impression from this post that you made and not an accurate reflection of your personality.

Indeed, anyone thinking that way got a totally wrong impression.
He stated two choices and I simply answered what I would prefer as I don't see how I can rename & shorten them without at least using some special signs like brackets or so, nothing more unless I have in the same way misinterpreted his answer.
Anybody else should do that too but I guess nobody really cares about it as doing regions from scratch is a lot work.

Thank you for the update, and all the hard work you Guys put into WitP Tracker. [&o]

The () braces are what is ruining the mappings. I've done a few of the changes, all you need to do is go into File-Regions and get rid of the braces for the rest.

[edit]Of course I find this mapping to be very unusual for economic data though ... and the bases haven't been assigned well. I would have started with Kulls and made changes from there.
Cheers

Thanks, the region file is still in work and the sorting will likely be redone at the end when every region is defined.

Could you tell me if there are other limits for the region name? Only thing the webpage mention is a 26 character limit.
Are the braces the only problem symbol, what about - , .

Just noticed, the Victory Point screen appears to show the number of airplanes lost, not the number of victory points for lost airplanes.

Is this intentional? I would have expected it to show the victory points, not the count.

How many turns ? What are your memory settings ?

-Xms512m -Xmx768

23 turns

memory settings? The file starts with

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xms512m -Xmx768 -jar "WitPTracker.jar"
pause

It doesnt work with -Xms512m -Xmx768, if you implied so.

Add an m after the -Xmx768. As in -Xmx768m.

It works for now, but without the map.

Is there any chance to get the witp tracker fully working with 64bit systems?

It is fully working with a 64bit systems, at least with my, I guess yours must have something that prevents this, question is what could it be.

I don't follow. The Victory Points screen in the game shows the number of aircraft points lost on each side; the Victory Points panel in WitPTracker shows the same. At least it does for me...

Floyd,

The Witptracker victory point screen does not tie to the in game aircraft *points*. It ties to the in game aircraft *lost*. The difference is that the 4Es count for two victory points each. So the number of aircraft lost is not the same as the number of victory points.

the difference can be seen in any game that's gone a while. The "Allied Aircraft Points Lost" on the main intelligence screen will be bigger than the "Campaign" allied losses on the aircraft losses subscreen.
