I fixed this by putting the java EXE in the tracker folder. IIRC, this means that Tracker cannot find Java on your system.

Tried that. Didn't work. Same error.

You're first going to need to get Java 6, not the latest version. Then you can worry about the pathing problems.

So where exactly can we get Java 6? I tried the Java page and found hundreds of different options.

All Java 6 releases up to and including 6u45 have been moved to the Java Archive on the Oracle Technology Network, where they will remain available but not receive further updates.

From this link:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/java-archive-downloads-javase6-419409.html#jre-6u45-oth-JPR
I am pretty sure it is this installation file:

Done, still same error.

Your command line inside the bat file that you are using to run Tracker is wrong. Just for comparison, here is mine:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\java" -Xms512m -Xmx768m -jar "WitPTracker.jar" nomap

Notice that in front of the word "java" is the location of that "java" file.

Yes, that's the next step. Java 6's location is not in your system's search path (and you don't want it there), so you need to specify the path. Unless you installed it somewhere besides the default, the path witpqs provided is the one you need. Thus, you need to edit the batch file in your Tracker directory to include the full path.

Anyone got any ideas, I'm getting the following error.

Want to start a game as Japanese and would love to have Tracker to help, but have been fiddling with it for an hour or so now to no avail.

I get the databases created, but the tracker doesn't appear.

I'm having a similar issue. I ran Tracker w/no issues previously. I'm now in a PBEM match using the Beta patch. I tried copying the DLL from the Beta 2 directory per a suggestion in the Beta thread, but no luck.

I'm stumped.

Here is the error log.

I winder if CrackSabbathh's pbem game is mine[;)]
Maybe we'll both play without tracker.

Nope. [:)]

I ended up re-installing it and it's working fine. Go figure.

Ok...I finally bought this game. Installed without a problem...downloaded a couple of helpful utilities including Tracker.

After a week I have a question (the first of many I'm sure) that I cannot find the answer for. In Tracker there is a column titled "Cargo/(F/H)" and for the life of me I can't seem to determine what it represents.

Any help would be appreciated.

After some fiddling about, I can get a new game as Japanese loaded.

However, there are no regions assigned and I can't successfully import one of the existing sets either. I think the issue is caused by the base names which have all generated in some weird wing dings type font so as to be unrecogniseable as when I try and load a set of regions I get errors saying base names not found or not matching etc.

Anyone got any ideas?

ID.

Got a Tracker problem......Tracker was working fine - until I updated to the latest beta patch today. Did a turn and then had tracker read a turn and I got an "error comparing bases" message and the read turn does not complete. Is tracker dead in the water for this game?

This is because you haven't got the right pwsdll.dll in the tracker folder... delete db files and start again.

It's fuel/hex -- but its a little misleading cause it is number just to compare efficiency of cargo / fuel / hex...

Well you can delete the dbase and start again... im in malaysia on hols so i cant test.. make sure the dll is the right one
Michael sometimes updates it.

Thanks Damian....so how do I delete the database? Boy - that sounds like a dumb question...
I deleted the data file and started tracker - and it wouldn't complete loading. Do I need to delete the backup file as well?
