Thanks for the new version!

one question is open: Where can i find the upgrad informations for the ASK's, AP's etc.? In the upgrade function only combat ships are included.

If you have an earlier version of WitPTracker AE, you can just replace the witptracker.jar and WiTPTracker.bat files from the ZIP.

Hmm, I'm getting all sorts of error messages when I try to run Tracker 1.5. The instructions say:

So I downloaded the new zip and just copied those two files into my existing tracker directory. But when I then run Tracker.bat, I see error messages like this. (Apologies for the screenshot, which doesn't fit all of the messages, just the final ones; I couldn't figure out how to cut-and-paste all the error messages from the DOS box.)

Edit: one reminder -- I did install an "interim" version of this new build to solve the "unit disruption" bug I reported earlier. Could that have affected this upgrade?

Yeah, the interim version you have won't properly upgrade - you'll need to start over.

not the conversions. I'm missing the upgrades of the civilian ships...(like AK's and AP's) . These upgrades started in 1942.

These errors came up during a Tracker v1.5 session. I did a lot of looking around at things and only noticed the errors when I exited so I don't know what I was accessing when these came up.

BTW a couple of turns previously I started with a new DB for the official v1.5 release.

This error is finding fault when looking at the build column and trying to calculate the totals. So it is splitting the first number and the one in parenthesis ... hence it is finding a number it can't convert to an integer ...

Not sure I can do much without a save or CSV export of the AirFrame table.

[edit]actually just read the error again and it can't find a string (they are formatted that way) in that column ... hmmm

What scenario? which side? which ships/classes ? As far as I've seen in most mods these don't upgrade but they do convert ...

Would it be possible to get supplies needed and supplies on hand for all of the LCUs on the main LCU page? the info is available if you select a LCU, but that takes a lot of time. It would be really nice if you could color code the supplies on hand as red( less than required ), green( more than required ).

quote:

ORIGINAL: Nomad

Even an alert would be very useful. As it stands, there is no place to find if you have LCUs that are low on supply unless you go through them one at a time. So any method that would tell a player he has an LCU that is low on supply would be great.

Hi Floyd/Damian,

While checking out Tracker 1.5, I stumbled upon what appears to be an error:

in the Bases panel, when clicking on the Basic History for a given base, Tracker displays (amongst other data) Port Dam, AF Dam (which is Service Damage I think) and Runway Dam.

Comparing the columns with the in-game information, it looks like two things are different:
* the Port Dam and Runway Dam columns are inverted in Tracker
* AF Dam remains at zero in Tracker (even when the AF has service damage in-game)

Hope this helps.
Cheers,

Moss

Are you using version 1.5? Version 1.4 had it incorrect and I fixed it. If you upgraded from version 1.4, the old data would have the old (incorrect) information.

Hi Damian and Floyd,

thanks again for this wonderful tool and your help.

So much for the praise and here are my wishes
I find it extremely important to plan the disposition of the LCUs because they are very difficult to move to another spot if they are on the wrong side of the world.
To be able to better plan this I would like to propose the following additions to the LCU screen if possible:

Add the following columns to the table:
- restricted unit (true/false)
- static unit (true/false)
- Engineer Value (Engineers + Vehicles * 5)
- loadcost AP
- loadcost AK
- HQ Support Value
- HQ Naval Support Value
- HQ Air Support Value

Add the following filters:
- show all units / only restricted / all but restricted
- show all units / only static / all but static

Is it possible to add a summary line where values are added?
If I filter for example "show me all units in Truk" then I could see the combined values from the units in this base (Engineer Value, Naval Support, Air Support, AV, loadcosts, ...)

Another (bigger) wish would be to add two extra data fields like the Notes field you added already.
The first would be something like "planned destination". I know that I can use the "plan for" field but 1. Perhaps the unit is at first to go to "Wake" but is already planning for an invasion of Midway later and 2. the enemy as a good chance to read "plan for" via SigInt In both cases I would not like to use the "plan for" field.
This should be a drop down list with all bases from AE. A filter for this field would be important too.

The second field that I would like to have is something like "operation". Here I would enter for example "Malaya", "West Pacific", "DEI", "Burma", ... By filtering the operation field (add filter for operation ) and then checking the summary lines I have a very good overview where I have too few or perhaps too many AV, Naval support, Engineers.
It would also be possible to see the needed AK and AP loadcosts for the units taking part in the operation.
The operation field could also be filled via drop down list. This list could be edited elsewhere in your tool (for example File - operations...).

Please consider my ideas.
Anyway thank you again very much.
You have one of the all time best products on the market considering cost-benefit

Support Values - up to Floyd on the Lcu table display...BUT One problem I've encountered when trying to have these values for bases is that they are not explicit in the save, but are calculated - otherwise I'd have 'em in by now --- if anyone knows the formula for working out the extent to support at other bases - let me know pls.

The rest I'll leave for now ... we do try to keep you guys happy

I have a minor change request.  I've downloaded but not yet installed 1.5, so if you guys have already addressed this, my apologies.  On the ship repairs panel, when you click on any of the ships, it's history is displayed below.  I love the information here, but my nit is that the oldest turns are displayed first, and you have to scroll down to the bottom to see the most recent and most useful ship history information.  Can you make this display sortable by turn into descending order, or set it to newest turn at the top by default?
Thanks,
Mike

I have the following problem: I have version 1.5 installed, yet can not start it. The DOS prompt tells me that the java command is eitrher missspelled or can not be found. Normally I would expect that this means that java wasn't installed correctly, but other java applications run fine and even a reinstall of java did not fix the problem. Any ideas?
