changes

October 01, 2006 :

* Made a very minor update to drawing code, some images were being drawn too small.

September 28, 2006 :

* Added graphic preview of the currently selected hex and surrounding hexes in the Pwhex view. In order to view art in the Pwhex View 1st load the Pwhex.dat file then select the folder that contains at lest one full set of map panels(either WITPXX.bmp or WITNXX.bmp 0-19), then click on the view art check box. This an expensive operation in terms of memory so, when you are finished viewing the map hexes you can deselect the view art check box to free up the memory being held by the map.
* In the Locations view I added a new field called Symbol for associating different icons for LCUs on the command task bar, the only two I know of are 12 = Cavalry and 13 = Paratroop if anyone knows of others let me know.

Status: offline 		Can you make a debbuger so it can compare the devices of a land unit with the TOE of that unit line by line, and mark it as an error if:

A) The device in the unit doesnt match with the device in the TOE (or upgrade device)

It would make my life easier, because I`m checking the RHS files by hand and it`s very time consuming

Example: if a unit has device 315 (USA Army 1941 Infantry Squad) in the TOE, then it would mark an error in that line if the device in the actual unit would not 315,316 (USA Army 1942 Infantry) Squad,317 (USA Army 1943 Infantry Squad) or 318 (USA Army 1944 Infantry Squad)

Thanks in advance

The application witpchk.exe by user michaelm you can get it at Spooky's.
"Revision history
1.25 (14/08/2005 – 14 August 2005)
Added: report devices that differ between LCU and TOE even if they are the same type."

However there is another approach to this problem first set the TOEs to your prefered values then under the Tools command in the Location view select Update Formations, then you can optionally use the Set LCU command under Tools for greater variety.

I do intend to expand the error checking as well as the Update Formations command but until then these two options might serve you and always make backups.

Being able to view the art files and map stuff is icing on the cake. One tiny request - would it be possible to see the plane top art as well as the side art? I know they are stored differently, so I'm not sure if this is even possible.

What version are you using, because I can't get it to crash?

Fixed in lastest version v0.9.5.8, btw that's a very strange error message as it's not in my app and because GDIplus fails gracefully. Anyway thanks for alerting me.

Thanks, started out as a small project and sort of snowballed. Where it's going to end I don't know.

Status: offline 		I've been banging on the latest version for several hours now and all I can say is GREAT JOB! No crashes, no bugs, very solid overall.

Adding in the ability to see the plane top art really makes it easy to find screw-ups now as I muck around with changing/adding aircraft.

About the only other cool thing I can think of that would be helpful would be a listing of LCU's at each base, similar to how the airgroups display. However this is a pretty small nit - you've added so much above the stock editor already. Certainly you've made my life much easier!

Thanks again.

Status: offline 		Found my first bug:

Aircraft screen, art on

Selecting any aircraft past index 244 (i.e. 245-249), the art will not update to match the bitmap number. Looks like only those last five slots have this issue.
