Witploadae question

I have the program working and it has dumped 10 csv files as expected.

All are pretty self explanatory but i am unsure about this one.... "WITPtabs.csv"

It also has errors in it....
Err:510

Weapon facing (WpnFacing)
0 1 2 3
F C R RS




Err:510

Type (CommandsType)
0 1 2 3
none HQ Large GU Small GU

Rank (Rank)
0 1 2 3
WO - IJA 2LT - IJA 1LT - IJA CPT - IJA




Err:510

Rank (Rank)
0 1 2 3
WO - IJA 2LT - IJA 1LT - IJA CPT - IJA

etc etc

What sort of info is this and perhaps more importantly are all the "ERR:510" messages normal?

Many thanks

The tabs file is the description of what many of the numbers mean. I have no idea what the error 510 is. I have never seen that. Are you sure
you are using the latest WitPLoadAE ?

It does not look like you are getting the full tabs file.

Thanks for the reply

The info above was just a snippet of the file, and the witploadae version is 9.

I have just realized that in the spreadsheet if you look at the field with the error message there is a box that shows you the original content which was in one instance......
====ship reference tables====

I'm wondering if the "=" is throwing off the comma delimited import into libre office calc, and if so if there is a way to fix this.

I will try and upload what i have to a new scenario and see if it still works ok.

For info the witptabs.CSV file opens fine in a text editor with no errors.

Ok, i think i have it sorted

i re-saved the WITPtabs.csv without opening it in a spreadsheet - i actually changed the file name to WITPtabs190.csv - did i need to do this? i tried with and without adding in the "190" bit but can't remember now which one i ended up using in the upload

I then had to create 2 new files:
aei190.dat
scn190.cmt

and the new scenario loads in the game and in the editor, and a turn ran ok

so hopefully all is ok


EDIT: forgot to mention that after re-upload the scenario tab in the editor was not populated and i had to do this manually, is this normal?
