I did as you said and got the scenario database initialized, but loading a save produces exactly the same error as Oliver Heindorf just posted. Probably another CHS issue? Looks like your utility is the ultimate scenario debugger...

Woos,

thats exactly what I think - in this game above where I tried to use this tool, my opponent complains about errors in the game in the production system . (pbem stock scen 15)

sorry for sounding harrash before and destroying your party - language barrier. (and when I tried to run your tool, my noodles on the stove burned as I had totally forgotten them cooking there)

Now that explains the problem. You didn't read the fine print (see last bullet of post 71).

Besides that, not all errors stem from mods/WitP. Sometimes the internal checks catch what they were intended to do: an internal error. So the "bad LCU count" is witpDecoders fault and should have hit most Allied players (as I said, Allies are badly tested).
New version with fix is uploaded (same name and URL and same procedure to install but with another database format change). As additional goodie you get:





I liked the WitPShips.xls file someone posted a few weeks ago (sorry, forgot who it was) but it was for the wrong scenario. So I shamelessly stole the idea and integrated it into witpDecoder so now one can get the same information for all scenarios. The tab probably still has bugs (this is a release to fix the LCU count problem) and no documentation yet.

Concerning the ease of installation: If you want to write an installer for witpDecoder to ease everyone's job, great, just do it! Otherwise you will have to live with my plans for development which still include new functionality as the highest priority because that's what I want from the tool. Sooner or later database setup will be completely GUI driven (if only to reduce the support requests), but since setup is only a one time effort for everyone that's low priority.

Sorry, that was the debug version, which will only run on my computer. Correctly generated version is uploaded.

BTW, does anyone know how to convince eclipse to do several things in a row for generating a release? I currently have to
1. Edit the debug flag.
2. Compile (if not done already)
3. Create the jar file
4. Run the optimizer/obfuscator.
Sounds like a makefile job (or an ant job in the java world) but what is an IDE for if it can't do that without the user generating a makefile?

java.sql.SQLException: Integrity constraint violation - no parent SYS_FK_105 table: Suffixes

This is caused by LCU 2638 (86th USA CD Bn) having a suffixID of 1 which is not allowed (and especially not for an LCU of type 11). Same problem later with LCU 2738 (144th USA CD Rgt).

Now the interesting thing is that in the .csv files ctangus sent me, both units have
1) a correct SuffixID
2) a different unit type (9 instead of 11)
3) a different name (86th US CD Battalion)
So either
a) ctangus used a newer version of the mod, which had the previous error fixed, for generating the csv files than the one used to start the game.
b) WitP is manipulating lcutypes, names and suffixes.

I would assume the former, so some versions of NikMod are currently not supported by witpDecoder (don't ask me when the error was fixed). The next version of witpDecoder will then read in even save games with broken suffixes (and I'm getting a bit annoyed at the amount of inconsistency in the save files).

Yea, that's probably the case. Since the game was started by my opponent, it's certainly possible we downloaded slightly different versions at different times.

Thanks for looking into it.

Roger

Try this:

1. Copy witpload.exe (just the .exe file) into the \witp\scen\ folder.
2. Open the command prompt. Go to \witp\scen\
3. Type in: "witpload /s15 /e" (to extract data for scen 15. For any other scenario, replace the "15" with the scenario number)
4. Done. Copy & rename the .csv files (they are in \witp\scen\)into the witpDecoder folder.

witpload /e /s015 /i


It you put the wiptload files in C:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific\witpload

Then from cmd line cd C:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific\witpload

then witpload /e /s015 /i (change the s015 to s016 or any scen)

This will extract the files from the
from C:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific\scen
to C:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific\witpload

And if you want to recompress them
then witpload /s015 /i

You have to use the command prompt. Clicking on the .exe doesn't work.

That is strange, because it works nicely here. Do you have any garbage behind the "3" which could be interpreted as another argument (specifying a password when none is needed also counts as "Wrong password")? Is the save file you are trying to load not from the game you think it is from?

You did download the witpDecoder2b.jar file and overwrote the witpDecoder2.jar file (note that there is no b) with it? Otherwise nationality specification is not supported and your "3" is seen as password.

3 ways to use the RUN box

1. (Just type in the run box, Like I think you did)
use " " for the path (when using first VSWG's instructions)
(assuming you copied witpload.exe into the \scen dir)
"C:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific\SCEN\witpload" /e /s015
note: the " " covers the path and the command and does not include the /e /s015
this will run super fast (you might not see it)
or

2. Try using the command prompt.
in the "RUN" box type cmd
this will bring up a fake dos box... (the command line)
then C:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific\SCEN\witpload /e /s015 (no " " needed)
this will show the extracts as VSWG just displayed..
(again assuming you copied witpload.exe into the \scen dir)

3.
In my above example I dont need to copy anything.. (but its a 2 part proceedure)
I cd to where ever the witpload files are.
then run the command adding an /i to the end

first
cd C:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific\witpload
(or where ever you put unzipped the witpload files)

then
witpload /e /s015 /i

Status: offline 		Woos,

Two quick observations:

Inconsistencies lists ship captains leading TF's, which should be ok. But maybe there's no easy way to allow that.

Air leaders seem odd. None show as being assigned to any units (basically a stock 15 scenario I'm looking at). A quick spot check of Canadians for example (nice and short): I see the currently assigned leaders, but their current assignment is blank. The leaders listed in the game when I try to change an RCAF air group commander don't appear in the decoder. Something funky with leader vs pilots?

Sorry if you've already covered this, thread is getting a bit long to reread.

Thanks
