Hey guys, in my spare time I've made a web based WITPAE PBEM viewer to teach myself how to write ASP.NET MVC websites.

This uses the excellent WITP Tracker to help generate the data for the website.


Allies-Only Map



Japan-Only Map



Combined Map




Pearl Harbor makes a good example for a quick tutorial on the Operation Glacier interface. I followed War in the Pacific UI as best I could, so if you are a WITP veteran the UI should Just Make Sense.




Clicking on the red circle brings up the comments made on that hex.




Clicking on the red 'X' up top brings up all the events that occurred on that hex.




The anchor icon brings up all the ships disbanded in the port.




If we click on the BB Maryland link we get a neat graph of damage over time along with information about the Maryland and its [s]class[/s].




If we click on the float plane detachment we get a whole pile of graphs for this unit. I swear these graphs will get more interesting after the first turn...




Back to the map! Clicking on the little square with an X through it in the lower left corner brings up the 'land combat units' in this hex.




And selecting one... Huh, I wonder what happened on the 7th!



And finally, the little Task Force icon in the bottom right!



Finally, one can change the underlying map as well as apply filters to the visible units. (More filters to come! Suggestions very welcome!)

Someone has ENTIRELY to much free time on their hands [:D]

I lack words to describe...wow! [X(]

.

Jumpin' jehosafat Batman! This is really kick-a** Baloogan!

Thanks!!!

These are the kind of developments that make me believe that there can be a WITPAE - II
there is no need to reinvent the wheel; just simply port the existing game and database to a more modern- user friendly engine

This look amazing, but when I go the the site I have no idea what to do to use it.... Or is it not yet possible to use it?

Ok I get the interactive looking at the campaign, but can we use this to do the same for our own campaigns?

If we can, WOW.

Double WOW because its not using Windows to do it on my Mac.

Roger

Thanks you....

+1 for this.

How hard would it be to set this up to read the data from our own Tracker files and see what is happening in our games?

Well done!

Wow! Amazing job! [&o][&o][&o]

Amazing.

wow going to look and get bakc to you with feedback. thank you!

Thanks guys [:D]

One would need to be particularly computer savvy to set this up right now; would involve running IIS Express. But after its running all it needs is for WITP tracker to export 5 CSVs every turn: AirGroups, LCUs, Bases, TFs and Ships. It also reads the combat reports / sigint reports etc.

If any more newbies ask about the game before purchasing I would refer them to your AAR first. Definitely the best preview there is.

Looks very good after i checked it out. Any chance you can make Tracker work for the latest Java

One minor feedback point, would be nice if when you click on say a TF and it shows you a ship, the display box opens up large enough to display all of the info, so you don't have to scroll down. Not a biggie though.

So IIS Express is free Microsoft software that is capable of reading data from files and presenting them in a web format. Interesting.....

So one assumes 'all' that would be needed to be done was a batch file of some sort that exported the relevant files from Tracker, and the programme would run using those files.....

Holy. Cow. [X(] Great work!

It does now. Try it.
