WitPTracker AE Release 1.11 Available!

[n01487477]

ORIGINAL: cantona2
The intel section doesnt seem to be working properly in my Tracker. I get the message that the sigint file cannot be found but it seems to be asking for the current turn date. EG currently ive run the replay for 22/12 and therefore i am entering turns for 23/12. surely tracker should be looking for the last sigint turns generated, ie 22/12, because when i open the intell file within the game it has 22/12 as the 23/12 has not been generated yet. I know it sounds confusing but can anyone help. I think the intel addon has been the best addon for tracker as its the closest we have to a Bodhi's for AE, an indespensable tool in witp!

thanks

[edit] (changed due to my stuff up) ... 1.3.1 does the job

[cantona2]

Many thanks Damian. Mine is a PBEM game though not vs AI but it seems we have the same problem

I put in a change in 1.3.1 to look for the previous day's intel. So if you load a turn into WitPTracker and the date for the turn shows as Dec 24th, the program will look for an intel file dated Dec 23rd.

Great [&o]

[floydg]

Are you using 1.3.1 or 1.3?

OMG [X(]... have I been testing with 1.3 all this time? I could have sworn I changed the jar file ... my bad!
I need to get some sleep[8|]

[ny59giants]

Since you can play 3 day turns, are you going to change it to look back three days??

The problem with that is the two- and three-day turns apparently put all of the information in one single file.

I may need to add some function that will "pre-read" the intel even before the save gets read in. Or something like that...

Here is my list of "data sets" - you could make a case to move some around, but this is logical, IMO. [:)]

1) Alerts
2) Bases
3) Devices
4) Industry
5) Resources
6) Leaders
7) LCU Production
8) LCUs
9) Air Production
10) Aircraft
11) Aircraft Comparison
12) Air Groups & Pilots
13) Ship Production
14) Ships
15) Ship Classes
16) Ship Upgrade
17) Ship Repairs
18) Task forces
19) Minefields
20) Intel
21) Map
22) Victory Points
23) Summary

Sounds good to me. Certainly an improvement over the present.

Thanks!

Floyd,

I did some testing and found those error messages. Please note that this is all using 1.3.1. The bottom line is that turns 1 and 2 load fine. Turn 3 loads fine when done as part of a multi-turn load with turn 2. But, when turn 3 is loaded using 'Read Turn', it generates error messages. As described below of course I started with a fresh database between iterations of testing.

BTW, if you want them, I have saved all files for you.

First I tried to start Tracker to create a new database. The designated save file is wpae019.pws, which is not present. Instead I had the old turns named '001-wpae019.pws', '002-wpae019.pws', '003-wpae019.pws' for turns 1, 2, and 3 respectively.

In this attempt I copied 001-wpae019.pws to wpae019.pws, and the database seemed to load and create fine.

I then proceeded to do a multi-turn load of turns 2 and 3 (file names above). Again no errors were generated, so I tooled around in the interface looking at things. Still no errors generated.

I deleted the database and started over. Here are the messages from loading hte first turn.

Here I load turn 2, by renaming the file 002-wpae019.pws to wpae019.pws and using 'read turn'.

Here I load turn 3, by renaming the file 003-wpae019.pws to wpae019.pws and using 'read turn'. This is where the errors occur. Note that in the previous test run turn 3 did seem to load fine when I used the multi-turn read to load turns 2 and 3 at the same time.

witpqs: those errors are harmless. It's because a turn is being loaded at the same time as you are viewing the Alerts panel. If you try the same test while viewing a "static" panel (something that doesn't change from turn to turn), like the Ship Class panel, you shouldn't see those errors.

I wasn't really viewing anything, but the Alerts panel was the one open when I loaded the turn (it's the default when I started Tracker). It was also open when turn 2 loaded, but was completely blank at that time (since by definition there are no alerts from turn 1).

Glad to hear it's harmless.

Thanks!

I have loaded the new version of WITPTracker. Everything works fine and the new functionalities are great except I am unable to visualise on the map the search arcs.
What is missing ?

[Smeulders]

Try restarting it. I had the problem that the search arcs weren't updating when I loaded a new turn, but once I restarted it, they were displayed correctly.

The arcs and percentages should update when you load a new turn. If you're using a database from Release 1.2, that data is not present, so you need to load a new turn, or start with a new 1.3(.1) database.

If the arcs and percentages don't update, then I have a problem...

Thanks. Good advice It's working now. Arcs are pictured nicely.

I started a new database with 1.3.1 and started loading in the turns one by one (multi-turn read didn't recognize the save files). The search arcs screen was open and stayed the same the whole time even though I did update change them during the period of the saves. I will check if this happens again when I get another turn for my PBEM.

I don't have the code here, but it may be that I don't refresh after a new turn is loaded. Can you quit and re-start (keep the database) and see if things updated then?

[Smeulders]

It's OK after restarting, the only problem is in the refreshing.

That's much easier to fix... Thanks for checking.
