Matrix Games Forums

I just wanted to let people know that I solved my question about differences with values of some devices.
Apparently I forgot to delete some of the database data when copying tracker and setting it up for for the beta version, and the data was correct for v1.01.26a and changed to version v1127Beta. One more changed I had not known of before.

Tracker is therefore working fine.

Normally I can get it to go no bother but stump.

I'm head to head with latest beta and the new map, scen 2 with two trackers, Japan and Allied. The Japanese one opens the Allied one won't see below for error.

If I switch to Japan computer the Allied one will open so it's something to do with head to head. Allied trtacker properties below. I'm sure I had it working before?

Not sure why but it's now working??

Hi guys

Would any of you know a solution to this error message? I installed Java 6 32 bit as instructed as well as the old C++ package.

This is typically a JRE version issue - what version of the JRE are you running? You need at least 1.7 or 1.8.

From the DOS command prompt, type "java -version" to see the version number.

Here is what it says


openjdk version "11.0.18" 2023-01-17
OpenJDK Runtime Environment Temurin-11.0.18+10 (build 11.0.18+10)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Temurin-11.0.18+10 (build 11.0.18+10, mixed mode)

You need the JRE. The latest should be JRE8 Build 371.

The result should look like this:

As a test, I loaded scenario 1 into the editor and changed Carnegie to a Port Build of 0
and Port Dickson and Kuala Kangsar to Type 1 - Port

started the game and made a save. Tracker worked fine with those changes.

Do you want to post that info to the beta thread so they can fix those bases? I gonna guess those three are like that in all the scenario's that they were added into.

In my tracker, on the bases data set, approx 10% of the bases have a type listed as "Beach". The two other types found are "airfields" and "base". Since I've only played stock, shouldn't there only be the two types? I'm sure it's not going to hurt anything but rather strange seeing something like Anyang(89,43) in China listed as "beach".

RIP Nomad. He was always such a great help with the Tracker. You guys got me looking into this and fixing these issues. Now I am also wondering why so many bases deep inland are set to Beach?

I feel the same about Nomad. My guess has been this was caused by all the updates to the map that were in the latest beta. Hopefully, the next version of the beta comes out soon and can see if they still appear that way.

That base is fixed in the next beta....GP

Thanks just Carnegie? Port Dickson and Kuala Kangsar need to be changed to Type 1 - Port also. When you do this they finally show up in Tracker since they are supposed to be ports.

Carnegie to a Port Build of 0
Port Dickson and Kuala Kangsar to Type 1 - Port

Also what about all of those inland bases labeled beach? For example Anyang which is an inland base in China with no water around? Isn't the beach label only for atolls and islands?

I'm sorry for this dumb question but I've not understood what this tracker for...

It helps just for PBEM games or for solo games too?

(I'm back in WITP since 10 years and I do not remember nothing about the game, sorry )

I use it as a 'to do' checklist of sorts:
- check the status of your industry - HIP, supplies, resources & oil/fuel status and how does it change over time - mostly for Japanese player. It does this for each base, & region.
E.g it shows that the Japanese Home Islands have XX days of resources left, shows how the daily surplus or deficit, shows the total of TF's with resources onboard that are heading towards the home islands.

- it allows you to manage Air production much better, it shows the airframe & engine progression, how many you have & need.

- it shows sunk ships sooner than the in-game tally especially ones that sunk on the day but they are not shown yet (no idea what sort of magic does it use to do so). Helpful if you need to decide if you should pursue a wounded enemy.

- it aggregates the various notifications & messages on a single list, from 'ship upgraded' to 'ship repair finished', 'ship repair cannot progress', LCU arrived & my personal favorite: LCU arrived at a destination! This last one should have been in the battle reply... just saying.

- it shows sunk ships sooner than the in-game tally especially ones that sunk on the day but they are not shown yet (no idea what sort of magic does it use to do so). Helpful if you need to decide if you should pursue a wounded enemy.

Well, it's not supposed to do that... I'd like to fix that if someone has an example of the game not showing the ship sunk but WitPTracker showing it.

It most often happens that Tracker shows it the day before. Why fix it? I like that feature
Other times Tracker shows a different ship than the game.
I think I have an example of that now where tracker shows BB Maryland but the game shows BB California. let me know what do you need.

I'd like to know more about the type of error, what caused it, what I can do to solve it, etc.

I downloaded the Java package suggested above ( version 1.8 ) and copied the Java.exe to the Tracker folder ( to solve any pathing problems )
and then tried to run Tracker and it loaded and was running so then I tried the Turn->READ Turn function and I got this error message popup.
It is somewhat obtuse as you can imagine. I captured the console messages and this is the extent of the verbage:

C:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition\WitPTracker AE Release 1.11>java -Xms384m -Xmx512m -jar "WitPTracker.jar" nomap
WitP Tracker AE tables loaded in 8 seconds

Which is also somewhat obtuse. I'm not sure what to do now. Thoughts? I thought I'd attach the input file if that will help

Check your properties file and make sure that you have the right read turn listed....GP

It could also be the turn of the save file. If the turn is not a finalized turn (End Turn used), that could be the cause.

You're correct, of course. That's what it was.

It turns out that this version of Tracker will read non-finalized turn files. I've not had a problem after 202 turns.

Margaret thanks you both for your answers. She wants a hug from both of you.
