Woos,
Can your Utility be used in conjunction with Bodhi's Utility?
Bodhi's is good for utilizing the SigInt information, among other things.

Yes it can. Bodhi's Utility only reads the generated .txt report files

Get always this errormessage,after trying to load a saved game.
Whats wrong[&:] ?

Couldn't write things to the DB due to
java.sql.SQLException: Unique constraint violation: SYS_CT_71
java.sql.SQLException: Unique constraint violation: SYS_CT_71

This is very likely a problem in the save game file. I put several integrity constraints into the DB (among them several uniqueness constraints). I already had to remove one due to the leader bug. This might be another one which needs removal (and addition to the inconsistencies tab).

Alas I can not say from the error message which constraint is the culprit (the DB is not very forthcoming with understandable messages in these cases). You got a PM with my e-mail address. Forgot to mention it in the PM, please tell my the scenario the save game is based upon.

BTW, here DB="Database" not "Dive Bomber".

[Helpless]

actually I do get similar error

I have tried to load a saved first turn for the CHS scenario. Does it suppose to handle modified scenarios?

Interestingly I get a different error when loading the save file provided by you. That error (the one I get) is caused ..... how should I put it .... well, Cpt. A.Takagi is no longer following your orders as TF65 commander. Consequently he has been replaced with 1st Lt. T. Ellis of the US Army

So files with a full-blown leader bug (where replacement has actually happened) will not load into witpDecoder. Nice to know, so now I know that the bug has not yet happened to me. Also I'm not willing to remove the integrity constraint which disallows USN captains for IJN ships (I don't want to end up with a database messed up similar to the WitP save game files).

Proposal: I can change the programm so all ships with a wrong nation captain will be added to the DB using a non-descript IJN captain named e.g. "I.ComeFromUsnavy" or so (better names are willingly accepted). For Allied players that would probably be a Cpt. "C.anIBanzai". He will always show up in the inconsistencies tab if assigned. OK?

BTW, the problem with password protected files has been found. It's all your own fault. Really! It happens only because you are all using more complex passwords than the one I used for testing. I will call this the "Only people with stupid passwords really need help in a PBEM" feature and will remove that feature in the next version on popular demand (due out in a few days once I get better error handling running).

[bbbf]

I resent having a capital letter in my password being called stupid![:D][:D]
 
Especially as it wasn't actually my idea (I took over the game from someone else)
 
Good news though, it will make managing the unmanageable so much easier.

[FeurerKrieg]

So a password with lowercase letters and numbers won't load?

[Woos]

You got that one wrong. If the game doesn't load, the password is too complex. And only very, very few passwords are not too complex. So don't even try too find a weoking one, it would be easily guessable by your opponent (that's also the reason I will not tell you what passwords do currently work. Players who knew that their opponent has successfully loaded the PBEM into witpDecoder could be tempted to try a bit of guessing).

[FeurerKrieg]

Hi Woos,

Great work so far. Is this the final word on password protected save files? Or are you working on a way to be able to open them, even with slightly complex passwords?

[huggarn]

Im  in love!

I though about doing an app like this for myself for ages.

[Sneer]

i got this error also on savegames that are in turn 1 with no password games
so no chance for bug
there must be sth else

Which word do you mean, this one?

Yes, that's final although I'm still searching for the passage that says that I'm not working on it. Maybe I should stop trying to make jokes in a foreign language.

Uh, which error? Florian's problem was not caused by passwords, but by the leader bug (see post 44). Helpless' problem I had not yet time to analyse.

[Rob Brennan UK]

Woos ! .. I think you might have converted me to play japan with this tool [&o][&o][&o]. Japanese industry and requirements always left me baffled ( and i'm not setting up XL files to play a darn game, XL is for work [;)]).

As many people have already stated .. FANTASTIC !. many many thanks

I have tried to load a saved first turn for the CHS scenario.

The error is caused by the "United States" base claiming to have a factory building aircraft 209 (a whole 15 of it). But there is no aircraft 209 (at least not in the WITPair.csv file you provided). Would be in the Russian section anyway.

So it's an CHS error. Sorry, CHS games can currently not read into witpDecoder (maybe after you reassigned that factory, but I would assume factories building non-existing aircrafts don't show up in the game UI).

Japanese industry and requirements always left me baffled

Then you should probably wait till the "Industry" tab is working. Because the current witpDecoder version will not help you to know how much oil to ship to Taiwan, etc. You would only see if you run out of oil completely.

[Oliver Heindorf]

wow ! its something I really liked to have back in 2004 [:'(]

PS : and the allied version of course ! [;)]

[witpqs]

Woos,

Just an idea - can you make it so that instead of an error those kind of issues all get recorded in a certain tab and just left out of the totals? There are so many games out there that must have that kind of error in them. Even in a new scenario it's really easy for that kind of mistake to happen in the mod, and the leader bug is supposedly still alive (even though it's in hiding!).

The more gracefully the utility handles things that are broken inside the save games the more people will be able to use it. Just a thought.

There is an aircraft 209 in CHS - the P-66 Vanguard.

[Helpless]

That's right there is an 209 entry. It is my fault - aircraft file was missing! [:@] Most probably you've been reffering to the stock aircraft file.

I have regenerated all csv files according to instructions. Now I'm getting the error:

Couldn't set up a working DB template. Exiting.

All files seems to be in place this time. Archive has been sent.

p.s Anyone had success with CHS and witpdecoder?

Indeed, the save file itself also shows it. So it's a user error, no CHS error.

People, it is important to use the .csv files of the scenario the save game is from and not any .csv files. You have to specify the correct scenario number with witpload ("/s" switch if I remember correctly). Otherwise all hell will break loose when you read in a save file because the .csv files are used to initialize certain static parts of the DB (why parse a complicated save file when you can get the same information easily from a .csv file). Looks as if I should try to automate that whole .csv file thing to reduce the number of possible errors.

I just noticed this when I tried to put in routines which could handle these errors and tried them on the directory setup helpless' had sent me.

So yes, I'm writing some handling routines which will take a guess of what might be wrong and then drop or transform the database entry. But there will be no list of inconsistencies (can't compile that when I drop entries) but a pop-up window for every time such a routine has to jump to the rescue. Should get people interested in fixing scenarios and prevent them from not noticing .csv-file mistakes.

Now that error should be interesting because it happens during database initialization (i.e. while the csv files are read). But it has to wait for tomorrow evening.

Last error happens during the initialization.

Woos, just FYI I'm getting the same error as Helpless with a new CHS game IJ (me) vs Allied AI the first time I run it & when I run the bat file again I don't get the error & the template comes up but no data show in template even though I've played a turn & 5 new files are created in the folder - witp.data, witp.script, witp.properties, witp.lck & witp.log. If I delete these 5 files, I then get the error again & can repeat the process all over again. Just FYI for any help it may do you.
