WitPTracker AE News

[Dan Nichols]

I am playing A 4.6 and have a Windows 7, 64-bit machine and Tracker runs fine.

[obvert]

I lost tracker when my machine went down recently and I'm just trying to get it going again. I reinstalled Java and C++ but each time I go through the steps to open Tracker for the first time Java quits. Here are the messages I get.

I re-installed Java a second time and still no go. Any ideas?

Here are the notes from the Java error message box shown in the pic:

As far as I know, you can not use version 7 of Java.

Application Version: 7.0.70.11

That could be it then. What version would I want? Version 6 of some variant?

On the Tracker website it says get the latest version, so if this is the case that should be updated.

EDIT - That was it. Just installed Java 6 and it's running now. Thanks Dan!

Java 6 download

You can have both on your machine but the batch file needs to point to Java 6

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xms512m -Xmx640m -jar "WitPTracker.jar"
pause

Yes - Floyd should do that sometime but he's busy defending Pago Pago ...

Hi, it isn't an important thing, but ask cost nothing!
I'm in the 130th turn and the tracker need a lot of time to start,
there's a way to make the loading faster? Maybe re-download and
re-copy the trackerdb.* files can be a solution? Thanks in advance.

I have recently started a PBEM based on DBB-C with extended map + stacking limites and the beta of 07-okt-2012 and I am running into trouble initialising the database.

Using the latest tracker file:

Any help appreciated

[adsoul64]

Have you copied the pwsdll.dll from beta into Tracker folder?

[KenchiSulla]

lol, no, thats it... thanks

[adsoul64]

N ever mind I spent half an hour to figure out the problem I had and I have find out it was a wrong path in witptracker.properties [:@][:D][:@]

Is there anyway of reading in more than one turn when you initialize tracker?

As previously mentioned in this thread and in many other forum threads. After so many turns of using Tracker, the database becomes bogged down. I personally redo my database every 2 months and Tracker basically starts all over. BTW- I do not mean to sound arrogant mentioning the problem having been solved all over the forums. I just mention it so you can look around and find the many mentions of it with the solution always being to clear the database and start fresh.

What you lose: tracking the trends in things like industry from previous months and anything else you want to observe over long periods.
What you gain: faster loading Tracker and less possible issues with it.

If you want to know how to clear the database, just delete the db files in your tracker folder. If you have any doubts of this method, just d/l or check your d/l copy of the zipped tracker. Note which files it contains and delete the other files. Tracker started without these files, previously, right? Start Tracker as if a brand new d/l and enjoy it all over again. If I am concerned about trends ( I am as the war progresses, not so much in the early months), just save your db files rather than deleting them. Move them to another folder with the dates of that database.

I am sure others have possible solutions they may post here about and I hope the creators may have other, more concise solutions than what I have offered. Happy Tracking!

Thanks [&o]

When Data set: Ship Classes is selected, what is the meaning of the column "Ships (D)"? Does (D) stand for the number of disbanded ships in port?

[Dan Nichols]

That is the number of ships on the map and those that are in the reinforcement que ( D = Delayed )

so 20(4) would mean you have 20 active and 4 of that specific class in the reinforcement que.

Thanks!

The first turn reading is special compared to subsequent turns. It's software and (almost) anything could be done, but I think it would be fairly complex, based on how I structured the turn-reading process.

OK! thanks. I'll change the bat to piont to an earlier save and the multi load after.
