I´m one of the biggest fans of this program and use it daily.
At startup every things is fine, but while playing around in tracker and doing research i get a long list of
messages as the screen shows.

I often put my PC in standby mode with Tracker (1.4) open. Can this be a problem ?
For games and other applications it usually isn´t.



If the program still functions after the return from standby, I wouldn't worry about these errors. They look like some painting issues, which could happen if you're showing something that may have dynamic table information. If you show a data set that has static information (for example, the Aircraft panel) when you put the PC in standby and then resume, does it still show errors like these? This may help narrow down the cause.

Floyd


I´ll check this later today.

Standby mode was not involved this time. Did not do anything except starting tracker and reading the turn.

If you set the panel to display to something not dynamic (e.g., Aircraft), then you shouldn't see the errors. The errors come up because the panel is trying to display something that is in the process of being updated in the internal database.

I just played around in air production-engines tab.

When i sort there by engine ID everything is fine.
When i sort by engine name, availability or something else i get wrong engines displayed in history.

Small, but annoying.

Soon.

I just fixed a bug reading SigInt files and then if I can get the new "archive" directory feature to work for me, I'll add support for that.

Status: offline 		Hey guys,

I have a question about heavy-industry production. In this past turn, I had two bases run out of fuel, and Tracker posted an alert entitled "insufficient fuel for HI". I was worried this meant no HI had been produced.

But in fact the bases in question aren't listed as "failed" on the industry-management ("J") screen, which makes it likely that the bases did receive just enough fuel to run their heavy industry during the turn. I don't really mind being warned that the fuel level is low, but I thought I'd check with you to make sure this feature is working as designed.

Wait for 1.5 - I've got it right (I believe) using the new "failed" in the save file.
Thanks again

[edit:] It's in Floyd's capable hands now - ironed out some of the last kinks ... hope you guys like all the work we've done

Would it be possible to add a 'Notes' field to the Ship Classes data set as well?
The main advantage would be to keep track of the roles you'd like your classes to perform (fi use DDs as ASW, SC, AA escort, ...), as well as listing the upgrades/conversions you'd like to effectively implement. Helps a lot with ship administration...

Cheers,

I'm looking forward to it! Thanks again for such a terrific utility. Tracker is fun to play with in its own right -- almost like a game unto itself. :)

I was planning to release real soon. If I can fit it in, I will. Otherwise, next time.

Not in the next release, but eventually these will be included and we'll be placing the relevant data & filters onto the Tracker map too I believe ... This is Floyd's area so I won't comment too much more but IT will take a while to get right & we both have fairly hectic schedules IRL, so don't hold your breath for it to be implemented right away.

The plan has always been to do and keep doing this while we're still enjoying the work, and to implement things as we get to them - I know you all want us to get to V 10.0 right away, but at least we're still releasing regularly and listening to all your suggestions.

I'm just happy that many players value our work and I hope we enrich your gaming experience - which from the feedback, I guess we've achieved...

Thanks to all for your kind words and suggestions.

Thought since the operational reports are very important it would be nice to have them in tracker (as many informations there as possible).
Maybe together with some filters for all the different possible events there.
But i can wait. The actual tracker is already VERY helpful.
Keep up the good work.

Btw, beside outlook express tracker is probably the most used program in my PC

    Thanks very much for bringing us the next step of this already great utility!
    This is my try at giving the best compliment of the thread: playing AE will always remain a form of art, but Tracker transforms the labor part into science

    BTW: I especially appreciate you took into account my last-minute request for a Notes column for the Ships panel...1st class customer service (and we're not even paying, so the more praise to you!)

    Cheers,

    Moss

    Now that I'm at it: are you guys considering transforming the operations & combat reports into intel as well, or will this remain utopic? (I can imagine the parsing routines for fi the Combat Reports will be rather complex)

    Moss,
    thanks for the high praise. Floyd is the one who added the notes, I forgot to add the CSV export for that area though

    I think this covers the Ops Reports
    http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/fb.asp?m=2401230

    Combat reports will probably be outside the scope of Tracker for some time however ...

    Otherwise enjoy it and we'll keep it coming.
