I'm running from the .jar (I have created a shortcut and relabeled it under the "SAVE" folder on my desktop).

I'm running from the .jar (I have created a shortcut and relabeled it under the "SAVE" folder on my desktop).

Where is the crash log found??

If you have to run it from the .jar, you'll need to find a way to ensure the JVM has the memory settings in the .bat. Or you can create the shortcut to the .bat file... [;)]

The crash log should be in the WitPTracker AE folder.

Thanks Floyd! [&o]

I got it to run from the .bat file and will make a shortcut this way. Is there a simple explanation of why I had to go this route?? I've been using various versions of Tracker (WITP and now AE) for some time. This was the first time I couldn't use the .jar shortcut.

"Classic" WitPTracker didn't need more memory, so it was never an issue.

The AE version needs more memory because of the DLL. I don't know how you got it to work via the jar file before, so I can't explain it.

Just to let you know that while Floyd is steaming ahead, I'm chugging along slowly(with his help) ... but I've updated the Industry - > Global screen to show a breakdown history of Res,Oil,Fuel,Supplies. It looks very cluttered etc ... I will render arrows for the totals, but does this look ok or do you just want the totals ?

Also added some more cargo information to the TF histories... but will decide later if it is ready for inclusion.

Have a good holidays

Someone requested that I make the Air Production screen able to do full screen & with dates - it took a while to do cause I had to re-engineer most of it ... anyway here it is. I can't do this for the Industry screen due to the chart (or until I find a way to contain it properly) + have time to do that. Still a lot I'd like to do before next release...

In the early days of witp before anyone released a tool, I had a spread sheet which contained all units ever heard of by sigint, all ships by sigint etc. by date and where (if data is aviable.

the next page contained intel on the enemy ships sighted.(by battle for example, or by op.txt file (wehre, when) etc. to give me a closer look how Xargun&other pbem enemies used their stuff.

Lomg-term, that's the goal. For the next release, it'll be a start.

Guys,

I know that you are probably tired of us "non-techies" asking for your help to solve (very likely) simple problems [:D]

...and I am sure that the answer to my question is in the forum somewhere (but please trust me when I say I've been through the entire WitPTracker AE Release thread...honestly). In fact, most of my prior Tracker problems were solved by patiently reading through the thread.

[&:] But I am now at wits end. I cannot for the life of me get the Tracker running correctly.

Here is the issue:

I can initially load Tracker and read the first turn. However, when I click "Multi-turn", select "all .pws", check the turns I want to load and click "Load", the program closes and creates the below-listed error.

I load from the .jar as I have never had luck running from the .bat

Here is my PROPERTIES file if that would help in any way - I copy the .pws files to the Tracker folder:

Dir=[D:\Matrix Games\WITP_AE]
GameType=[0]
Side=[1]
Password=[abc123]
SaveFile=[wpae003.pws]
SaveMode=[0]

And, yes, I am running one of those pesky 64-bit systems that seem to cause y'all a headache!

Any help you can spare this poor lad is greatly appreciated!!

Eddie

AFIntel,
This is a Java memory setting problem, so your basic problem is that you are running from the JAR file and not the batch.

Many 64 bit users have to use this command window to then run the batch file.
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\cmd.exe
So you can make a shortcut to it in your tracker folder. Click it ... Then type the command in the dos screen "witptracker.bat"

OR
Is there a way to make a shortcut so I dont have to do the DOS command manually each time? By default, when I double click on the .bat file, it uses the wrong .cmd file. How can I set this up?

Well the quick way I did it was to make a copy of the bat file and rename the extension to something wacky then associate ("Open With..") that extension to the correct cmd which will open the cmd window in that directory.

Failing this, I have a build using a 3rd party Java extension that I can email to you if you PM me ur details...

Sorry, I sent Floyd some details about this some time ago, although I think the email got lost ... and hasn't been put up on the web site.

You ROCK!![&o]

Worked like a charm! I have information to plan strategy now! Woo Hoo!![:)]

I was having a similar problem running WITPStaff, but I'll have to check to see if this fixed the problem as well.

Thanks again!

Eddie

Mate, this looks excellent! Keep up the good work.... please!

Just to let you know that while Floyd is steaming ahead, I'm chugging along slowly(with his help) ... but I've updated the Industry - > Global screen to show a breakdown history of Res,Oil,Fuel,Supplies. It looks very cluttered etc ... I will render arrows for the totals, but does this look ok or do you just want the totals ?

Also added some more cargo information to the TF histories... but will decide later if it is ready for inclusion.

Have a good holidays

Is there a way to improve the loading performance of the tracker when a lot of turns (aprox 500) are loaded ?
Currently it takes 329 seconds, which is quite some time.

You are in new territory, I've never heard of anyone loading so many turns[X(] ... I know Floyd is looking into it but that is a lot of data that needs to get loaded and I guess the database is enormous.

I never go more than 1-3 months and then I delete the DB and start again. I guess we need a way to archive (especially with the new intel screen data) or see where we can optimise the loading...

When I get time, I'll start looking at loading 100+ turns and giving him a hand if possible.

As Damian mentioned, I was looking into it, but for some reason it ended up taking longer to load, so I gave up...[:(]

I agree that 5 minutes is a bit to wait and I should have another look at it. After this release, though.

One thing that seemed to help some was to enlarge the memory allocated, especially the initial amount. I am using -Xms512m -Xmx512m. It still takes a long time to load more that 200 turns.

That may reduce some of the paging, but the memory needs will go up with the next release (to handle keeping the map in memory). The root of the problem is how the data is stored - records are created for each "change" in each attribute, so to get the latest view, the program starts from the first turn loaded and then applies each change, one-by-one.

I may have another idea to reduce the time by making a "checkpoint" every 'x' turns and always start from there. That may make the startup limited to just applying changes for 'x' turns' worth.

I'll try that out for next release.

I agree, it just helps a little when the database starts getting large. I wonder if having the option of only loading the last 30 days of changes would be doable and useful? Most of the time I am most interested in what has happened lately, not what happened many months ago. Or like you had above, the ability to archive earlier turns. Interesting questions.

I just downloaded the tracker about a week ago. In the regions settings it has Gifu as part of the Soviet Union. This is obviously wrong. Is there another version of the regions file I can use?

For better mappings, use the File > Import Base-Region Definitions and select one of the files in the region-mappings folder.

You can also manually edit the mappings as you wish by left-clicking in the Region cell in the Bases panel.
