Matrix Games Forums

I'm having the same problem as duettoalfa and did the changes no luck. Now where do i go from here?
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xms512m -Xmx640m -jar "WitPTracker.jar"
pause
I'm using this and updated the java script.
WitPTracker AE properties file
# Directory of the game

Java is bugging me to update but I don't know it it will wipe out the jre6 that I have in a separate folder. Running jre7 right now as default version. Can I update without shooting myself in the foot?

I'm not sure, but worst case is you can reinstall Java 6 afterwards anyhow.

Rookie WitPTracker questions:

- I save my last orders to save file #23
- I pull the trigger for a turn to run
- The AI also does a preturn save to #2
- turn completes and I save to #24

1st question is when I fire up WitPTracker and tell it to load turn, does it go out to where I have config'ed as my save directory and find the latest file to load?

It depends on the SaveMode setting. Check out the web site that explains how this works.

Savemode tells us where the program will look for files, understood. What throws me off is in the setup it says:

The fifth line (SaveFile) is the name of the save file you're using for the game. The save file format is wpae###.pws, where ### is the save slot number (e.g., wpae003.pws for a save in slot 3).

I have assume that this config item only applies if you are conducting a PBEM game. Is that correct?

No, the filename pattern applies to both types of games.

I think we got it to work. I checked out Scrat's post just above (I had not thought of the Beta 2 issue) combined with Marc and Floydg's help and it's up and running. Thanks so much to everyone for their help!

starting a new campaign I wanted to use tracker again but got below's error message right when I double click tracker. Sry, it's in German, it means command "java" was either written wrong or couldn't be found. What? Lol,
that's a new one to me. Latest Java version is installed (did it three times with the same result). No clue what to do. Any help would be highly appreciated.

It looks like the java.exe file isn't on your command line path. I think you'll have to provide the path to the java.exe in the .bat file, as in:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xms384m -Xmx768m -jar "WitPTracker.jar" nomap

Try that?

I found the solution for above's problem on the internet which is quite surprising to me lol. Obviously I didn't have Java runtime environment installed, whatever that is. Why isn't this installed with Java together?
How should a non IT expert know this? Oh well. So I downloaded this too but wasn't really surprised that I then ran into the next problem.

See below. Does that mean tracker doesn't run on a 64bit system? Wonder why it says AMD when I have an Intel processor? Lol, oh my god...

You can not use latest Java. Tracker only works with Java 6.

AHHHHHH, this is driving me crazy [:(]

Deinstalled Java 7, found Java 6 plus JRE 6 somewhere to download, installed it, everything ran smoothly, tried to fire up tracker, got the same error as above, telling me I can't run 32 bit dll on a 64 bit platform

pffffff

Go to the support section of tracker and they tell you how to run on 64 bit. it works for me.

You need the 32-bit version of Java, not the 64-bit version it seems.

I was suggested to disinstall the drivers, upload them again, disinstall the AMD RAdeon and many other things I cant even think about. I didnt do anything because I wouldnt know where to start from and kept doing my wizardy opening and closing the tracker. Well funny enough, after about 15 turns, it started working fine like nothing had ever happened and we're friends again. What happened? Who knows! At the moment I'm fighting with python and the intelmonkey...

Tried a search of the forum for this but found nothing:

I want to EXPORT to csv file format the ship conversion list, highlight and control-C then paste gets most of what I want. The missing entry is the ship name and ID number in the right most column (also no export in pull down menu I could find).

Did I miss a csv output on a tracker screen?

I went to Ship Conversions, exported them to CSV file, imported the CSV file to Excel and I do have ship name and ship ID columns in Excel.

Just use "Export to CSV" option under File in the Tracker. Tick "Use filter in Ship Upgrade panel" and you are set.

Ok so decided to dust the game off and make a comeback. Of course I want to get tracker going and have been trying most of the day which leads me to post "Im still and idiot" and can't get it going.
From what I see, it still runs under Java 6. Is it Java 6.45 or something else. On that note, which download do I use for windows 7.

That did it thanks. [&o] recommended xms xmx settings?

After not using Tracker for many, many months I'm trying to get it going again for both PBEM games as Allies. I remembered the trouble with newer versions of Java, so I'm still at 6 version 29.
