Status: offline 		did you solve the problem Maartern or JocMeister? I sue windows 7, java 8 and have exactly the same issue with calendar as shown by JocMeister screen. I checked it does not show up below other screens. It simply gives me error. I tried to manually open the file with txt editor and insert the date there, but still same error :(

Is there a way to make the calendar work without having to set the time format to US version?

I am asking because I would prefer to use my natural version and I am not to keen on the US format

EDIT: Never mind. I installed the very latest version of 64-bit Java and it's working now. Great tool.

Thanks for this addition, it's a boon for us new players. I'm not all that computer literate, how do you attach a new *.ico file to your
executable when it's started by a batch file? There's this problem for both executables, combat repiorter and tracker both.

Status: offline 		First, download the attached .zip file to a place on your computer where you can easily find it and extract the .ico files.

In Windows Explorer, navigate to the folder where you've installed Combat Reporter.

Right-click the 'combatreport.bat' and click on the 'Create shortcut' option as circled here:




Once you've created the shortcut, right-click it just like you did the .bat file, but this time click the 'Properties' option. In the 'Properties' window, click the 'Change Icon' button as shown here:




This part has a few steps for actually changing the icon image of the shortcut.

Step 1: click on the 'Browse' button and find the folder where you previously downloaded and extracted the .ico files.

Step 2: the icon files should appear here; click on the appropriate icon to highlight it in blue.

Step 3: click the 'OK' button.




You should now have a new icon for your Combat Reporter shortcut! You can do the same for Tracker, if you wish. The shortcut can be moved to wherever is convenient for you - the desktop, start menu, etc. I like to keep mine pinned to the start menu (FYI, right-click the shortcut and the option to do this is there) next to the WitPAE shortcut, so all the tools can be easily started with WitPAE.

Is there not a way to show CR where the map art is by browsing? I seem to remember something I browsed
for to point it out to CR.

I am using Windows 10, stock map, Scenario #7, Allies vs AI.

The only glitch I have found is ships that are listed as arriving in Portland. When I click that, the map goes to Portland, Australia instead of Portland, USA.

Lately Combat Reporter hangs at loading the map if I have ran it a couple of times. After reboot it runs normally.

Status: offline 		I seem to have a problem getting the program to show reports. It runs fine and the window comes up with the map, etc., and I have it set to the first turn I ran, as indicated. I am now on December 12, 1941, but it still won't show any reports, period. I have reinstalled it several times, and done the same with java, and no luck. Tracker works fine and as expected, but I just can't get reports with this program. I am running Windows 10, and WITP-AE is working great. I am not getting any error messages from Combat Reporter, just no reports. I am also running DBB-lite, with no extended map. Any suggestions?

You need to make sure you are using the -archive command line switch and that you point to the archive
directory of your game.

Status: offline 		Hi, I installed latest version Combat Reporter but now I have problem running it.
My Java version is jdk 8u172. My Combat Reporter ran very well in the past (maybe months ago, I don't remember), but now it runs with errors.
The screenshot of error:




It is possible that Java is an old minor version of Java 8(I'm sure it's Java 8) when Combat Reporter ran normally at past.

But I have a stupid question. How do I update the base.csv that comes with Combat Reporter to use the bases from DBB-028, extended map? I must be having a senior moment.

I downloaded the latest version of CombatReporter just now and adjusted the properties to fit my situation:

watchDir='C:\\Matrix Games\\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition\\SAVE\\archive'
side='j'
startIntervalDate='09/21/2017 07:00 AM'
watchIntervalSecs=120
witpDir='C:\\Matrix Games\\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition'

and then fired up CombatReporter.bat and got this error message and I'm
fresh out of good ideas to fix it. I need a fresh pair of eyes I guess.

The first \\ is OK because that tells it to start in the root directory, the
other ones are confusing it.

Are you suggesting that I change it? Really?

This is my properties file and the only real difference I see is that I used " and you used ' around your file names.

watchDir="D:\\War in the Pacfic Admirals Edition\\PBEM Rick BtSL\\SAVE\\archive"
