Guys, I'm going to make an impassioned request for a quick "patch" that will allow one to download the contents of the "Ships" Dataset. At moment, you can't obtain this data with either a csv export (not available) or even the "highlight all rows and copy-paste" method (table is set to "one row only"). Here's why I need it. As you can see from the attached spreadsheet, I've been able to combine the output of four different data sets: Bases, LCUs, Air Groups and Pilots, and even Ships (I copy-pasted two rows of data as a test). As a result, it's possible to use the filter buttons to look at every unit located at any base (or hex), and add comments as to what I (or others, as the spreadsheet will be shared with the community) want them to do as part of the overall "Day 2" Setup.

Unfortunately, the absence of "Ships" is a HUGE hole in the planning process, and Task Forces doesn't substitute for it (there is no unit-level data in that dataset). I realize this is a lot to ask, but if you could issue a patch that makes that dataset available either as a csv or by enabling copy-paste of all rows, it would be hugely appreciated!!

I've attached the spreadsheet (change the extension from .txt to .zip, then extract the contents and open with excel or openoffice) so you can see what I've done so far.

Here is a zip of Allied ships from Scenario 1, Dec 7 ... (because I know we a little way from a new release)

Hope this helps, looks like a good excel spreadsheet

• Ship Classes - Add a "side/owner" selection to filter all allies or all japanese. Add some special filters (transports, asw, escorts, etc) besides the class filter. Add a filter for date selection.
• Aircraft comparision - Add a nation filter to make it easier to see Chinese upgrades for examples.
• Bases - add some kind of color-coding/visual highlighting to bases with less than x2 (or whatever values trip the alerts) supplies. Add spoilage max values as new columns. Add new columns to show if a base is overloaded by LCUs. Would be nice for aircraft as well, but I'm not sure we know the formulas yet.
• Air Groups - Add a notes column like you have for TFs.
• LCUs - Add a notes column like you have for TFs.
• Notes View - Some kind of notepad-like area where I can just write generic notes for a turn and then view them later. Sort of like a diary/blog/AAR so I can do everything in one place.
• Once you get a map, a map note area where I can attach notes to locations/hexes.

So once again guys. Great Work

Okay, after several complaints, I updated the Multi-turn read to have two modes:
- current mode, where the files shown are based on the SaveFile name
- "All .pws" mode where all files containing "pws" in the name for the same scenario will be shown. You'll need to be careful with this one, since if you have multiple games with the same scenario running, you could load a turn for the wrong game...

The screen looks like the attached. Comments?

Please, show files along with the time/date stamp!

Would like like to see this used for loading single files vs. editing the file.

This is my second screen. Here's what I've done so far:
1. I downloaded the hotfix pwsdll.dll for WitPAE and installed in my main directory.
2. I made a copy of it and pasted it in my WitPTracker 1.1 directory.
3. I ran it and this what came out.

I still can't get WitPTracker 1.1 AE to work. I've attached my latest screen. Let me know what you think. Also, I have installed the latest patch. It didn't help.

To be honest, I'm not sure? Where can I find it?

ORIGINAL: wg335910

I quess you're having the same problem I am. I was using WitP Tracker 1.1 when I notice that you can't export any of the ship data. So...there is no fix for this? If so, I quess I can get the ship data from WitPStaff.
