Floyd, if you could parse the text files for combat, sigint, and ops and display hits on the map. Much like Bodhis utility did.
I second this suggestion. Bodhi's Utility and it's ability to make intel reports actually useful is the only real functionality that is not yet available from any tool with AE.

Yeah, I'd think this is the main reason for a map, apart from quickly locating clickable tables location information...which I think will be a long way off, if ever and would probably take a bit of a GUI redesign.

[edit]Maybe there can be a filter for alert locations that turn too ?

What about an ability to add comments to a hex on map? That would make planning easier.

PzB -

If you're getting the error about APL comparison, then I'm guessing turn 1 didn't really read in okay. Can you send me turn 1 and turn 2 to witptracker@gmail.com (along with the witptracker.properties file) and I'll give it a try?

Thanks,

Floyd
Delete the trackerdb.* files.
Copy the pwsdll.dll file from the game folder to the WitPTracker folder.
Try running the WitPTracker.bat again.

Thx Floyd,

I reinstalled Tracker and after some fidling I managed to find and load turns 1-2-3!
Looks fine now :-)

While stuck inside as the snow piles up here, I finished off a first pass at search arc display.

You can choose to show naval search vs. ASW search (I tried showing both at the same time, but it was a mess). Then you can choose to show only defined search arcs (blue and green), random search (yellow) or both at the same time.

The sample shows the area around Pearl and southwest (zoomed out to 25%). The darker areas are where stuff overlaps.

Comments?

Have to say for something thats available for "free" this is an excellent proggy. I couldnt play without it. I never even shut it down,just minimized so I can always have a quick look at how I,m single handedly destroying the Japanese economy.

Agree if you are looking to upgrade summit I would recommend on the LCU screen I would find it usefull to have a column statign how many spare devices are in the pool for each line of a units TOE

RE: WitPTracker AE Release 1.2 Available

Post by Jones944 »

Any hope of getting a fix for this error? I doubt it, since I'm trying to run Tracker on Windows XP running within a VirtualBox OSE VM. WitPStaff works fine, though.

Edit: Looks like it's trying to force 32 bit colour? Is this really necessary?


Image
Hurray! [8D]

Here's the fix:

Change the WitPTracker.bat file used to start Tracker as follows:

[font="Courier New"]java -Xms128m -Xmx256m -Dsun.java2d.d3d=false -jar "WitPTracker.jar"
pause[/font]

Easy one. It'll be in the next release.

Thanks for the solution Jones944, I had been thinking it was my fault with the 32bit colour chart ... glad you've found something workable though [;)]

If it wasn't your chart, the new map may have triggered it as well.

It does seem like a good fix, though (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/2d/flags.html)
