I use WitPTracker every day and I appreciate very much the new developments since the first version.

I have a question: would it be possible to add a new development to follow the career of a specific ship or TF: track on the map of the path followed by the ship or TF, performance of the ship in battle with its palmares and specifically for the submarines ?
I don't know if it's feasible or not but it will be certainly helpful and add a new pigment to this great game.

Hi Micke - we keep a record of TF movements but they haven't been implemented on the map like WitpStaff used to be able to handle. The problem is that once disbanded and reformed it becomes complicated. IIRC we do keep ship location data but I'll have to double check that. Let me see how much time and effort this would need.. and as Floyd says due to the load time thing ... the map is just floating out there not doing much these days.

Damian, it will be great if you can do that. I recognise the difficulty because when a TF is disbanded a new TF will used the same number. I don't know how Witpstaff has solved this problem.
On my computer I have 180 turns loaded, it's take 2 to 3 minutes to get the program ready even with the map.

Nice program.� However, is there any combat casualty tracking? I don't see it.�

Not sure how difficult this is to implement, but it would be nice to have a breakdown of the kill ratios for the various nations, etc.

Without breaking FOW I doubt this is implementable ... of course if you mean from the combat reports which are spurious then I guess it is do-able but probably way down the list of things we'd like to achieve ...

Thanks again

Not sure if this is what OP meant, but it would be nice if the victory point screen included LCU loss VPs. Those are available in-game.

I'd have to add some additional data in the database, but it could be possible.

I'm still testing it and found a few things that I'll have to update with Floyd (nothing major) ... I also see that in TGC DBB Master Mod there is a bit of Daily Res Created and I should roll that in too. At present it is displayed but not really used for the +/- calculations and use. Or here on the Global Screen.

You do realize that a "x0" means that 0 is the result. Shouldn't it be "x1"?

Actually Treespider's economic DaBabes Mod has the multipliers of HI -> Supply as 0 & OilRef -> Supply as 0 ...
But if you mean I shouldn't be showing it because it's 0 then it's WAD because I have to show something ;-)

Correct. In my Mod the only thing that produces supply is LI or a daily allotment given to individual bases.

Region Definitions question?

Have just started using v1.8 and the all bases are set to Region 'Japan'. I am playing as Allies and want to start getting to grips with the Logistics side of the game. I have manually created one or two regions but thought that with the 'Gump of Grogs'

on this site, someone has probably built a set of generic Region Definitions already that I could import. Is that so? If so could anyone point me in the right direction to find it? The search engine on this forum is useless.

Thanks

Already done in the region-mappings folder. So go File -> Import Base Defs -> Region-mappings folder
Either Nomads or Kulls will be fine.

I use Kulls, not mine. Mine was made when Damien and Floyd were still thinking about regions and super regions.

Now that I'm a bit deeper into the game I took a look at leaders, at least I tried but the manual gives almost zero information so I wonder why the trackers "best lead" row doesn't fit with the in-game "suited-for" row.
The game seems to differ them by either assault, combat or rear area and the tracker more for what unit like HQ, large unit, small unit, etc. so don't those 2 rows belong together?

If they don't could we get the in-game info about assault, combat or rear area into the tracker too?
Oh and does anyone know on what those "classifications"(assault, combat or rear area) are based, is it some kind of extra qualification or are they just based on the values of Leadership, inspiration, etc.?

The information in WitPTracker is pretty much a guess. I'd have to look deeper to make it better match the game...

Thanks and while your at it could you take a look at the "Assigned Unit" row because something doesn't seem to fit.
I filtered the list for Air Groups & Chinese and one leader is assigned has a durch airgroup as assigned unit but that is definitely wrong and the real leader assigned to that group is missing in the tracker completely.

Hi Bill -
Have you followed the install procedure? 64 bit users have a little more probs(but you can get it to work)

Here is some additional info.

Have a go and if you need more help - I'll walk you through it.

Okay it's now running

Can I use it for an existing saved PBEM game - and do I use the file sent by my opponent or the one I have sent him?

Yes, you can start using it at any point in the game. It's usually best to load each turn at the same stage and most people load it when it's their turn and prior to entering any orders.

Can someone look into the calculation of Aviation support on the base screen?
Looks like only one unit is counted and the rest ignored, Tracker shows me 10 for San Fransisco but its 250, 10 is only in one single unit.

It is also useful to have two different tracker setups and have one for prior to entering orders and another for when you think you are done inputting orders as a check.

I looked at the code and it does appear to be adding up all of the aviation support values at the base.

The only caveat is that if the LCU's operations mode isn't "combat" or "move", it's not counted.

Well can that be changed?
AFAIk the only devices not working outside of the combat mode are engineers, so the mod shouldn't matter but here I'm also not sure about the strategic mod.
