WitPTracker AE Release 1.11 Available!

Hi guys. I'm trying to get tracker running on my brand new laptop. 64 bit Windows 7. I installed 32 and 64 bit Java. Any ideas based on this screen shot? Thanks in advance.

First of all you need to point the batch file to your x32 Java install. Make sure the install path is the same ...

Code: Select all

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

Secondly, your witptracker.properties file needs to point to the install folder of the game.. From the console it looks like you've not installed in the default location.
Thirdly, if you are using the beta you need to copy the pwsdll.dll from the beta2 folder into Tracker.

I pointed the batch file to the java on my machine (I learned how to do that off your support page). I had to change the jre6 to jre7 to get it to match the path.

I haven't installed the game yet on this machine but tracker is reading the file from the tracker directory.

I'm not using the beta.

Thanks for the ideas.

Yeah - but you really need the game installed cause we use the images from the game...

I thought that Java version 7 didn't work with Windows 7.

No it doesn't work with Tracker [;)]

do I need to get Java 6 somehow to make this work? I'll purchase another copy of the game tonight and get that part going.

Yes, you need to have java6 installed. I thought from an earlier post you said you had it installed and FYI you can have both installed on your computer. But as I said you need to point to the java6 exe.

Out of curiosity, what happened to your game?

[Insano]

I just bought a new laptop. I already have the game on my old desktop. I have Java 7 on the new laptop instead of Java 6. Just downloading a new copy of the game now, patching, etc. - very exciting. Now I won't have to halt progress in my PBEM when I travel!

Download Java6 here and install. No problem having both.

[Insano]

That did it. Thanks for the help. Tracker is working perfectly now that I pointed to Java 6-32bit. The link on your installation page points to Java 7 now. It might be helpful to link instead to the link you just posted above.

So a couple of questions:
1. Is it wrong that I bought my new laptop just so I could play AE away from the home office?
2. Is it wrong that I tried to install Tracker even before I installed the game?

Now back to making preparations to capture Los Angeles!

Damian, Floyd, thanks again for the great tool - Tracker! [&o]

Yeah - Floyd should change that sometime, but he is concentrating on not losing NZ.
So a couple of questions:
1. Is it wrong that I bought my new laptop just so I could play AE away from the home office? No Way!
2. Is it wrong that I tried to install Tracker even before I installed the game? Your priorities are skewed, game first, tools later. But it is nice you hold us in such high esteem

Dear Friends, OK after having the computer where this program was lovingly installed, I'm trying to install it on my new Windows 7 computer. Here's where I'm at

C:\Matrix Games\Tracker>java -Xms384m -Xms512m -jar "WitPTracker.jar"
Initializing WitP Tracker AE database.
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: C:\Matrix Games\Track
er\pwsdll.dll: Can't load IA 32-bit .dll on a AMD 64-bit platform
at java.lang.ClassLoader$Native Library.load<Native Methos>etc. etc

I have a copy of the Java6 exe. file in the Tracker folder. As far as I can I'm in the area described in your support page as Vista 64-bit and Intel/AMD. I've gone to the C+++ download site linked from your support page. I didn't see a 32-bit option just two 64 bit and an 86 bit. Downloaded a 64 bit. Can't think what to do next.
Your program makes the game so playable I'll jump through flaming hoops to get it to work.

PS I realize that the answer may be buried in the 137 pages and I did glance at the last few, so my apologies if this has been addressed before.

I believe that our support page tells you to install the Intel 86 c++ redistributable - you should also do a windows update after installing it.

If that doesn't fix it contact me by PM.

Cheers

Good afternoon,

I am having problems with the new release of WitP; hope someone can help.

I reinstalled it and somehow it is not working now (I had it working fine before). I am using Patch 07 - Unofficial Public Beta - 1120c \

I have attached the error message: exception in thread "AWT- queue-0"

thanks

The beta uses a different dll (beta2 Folder). You'll have to copy it into the tracker folder. If you upgraded, rather than started a new game you'll have to re-initialise Tracker too...

[Jorge_Stanbury]

Thanks a lot!!!
it is working now

DaBigBabes A scen 28, Tracker 1.9.2

38th Chinese Division starts the war in Chungking. I set it to accept replacements and it got 6 MMG squads in one turn. That's ok, but when I fired the Tracker, I found the division has 210 MMGs squads in its TOE! I went back to WITP:AE, checked the unit screen, but the unit's TOE screen shows no MMGs in TOE. What gives?



PS. I opened the Editor. The unit should have 210 support squads in its TOE, not MMGs.
