Options tab, large scroll change (hexes). My choices are .1, .2, 1, or 2.

I recommend multiplying your numbers by 10, as the map hardly budges.

Great job!

Bodhi i just installed dot net 2.0 and installer still ask me to install ver 1.1
Is this nor down compartable?


.NET 2.0 is a beta, I don't have it and I'm not intending to install it.
The simple solution is to download and install .NET Framework 1.1 (you can have multiple versions without problems).
Another possible solution is to modify a registry key to force ALL .NET based programs to use the latest version. I haven't tried this, but if you want to, the details are in the attachment.

My laptop (W2000) loaded ok, but got the following error message trying to execute ....

I had the same problem and was able to fix it. The problem was corrupt Arial font files. I used the Tweak UI utility from Microsoft to repair the fonts, but I've heard that renaming the files and rebooting can regenerate the correct font files as well (I didn't try that though).

Bravo Bravo11,

Thanks for that.

Working as designed. Also designed to use the jump map, or grabbing the scrollbar, for large jumps in location. The large scroll change value is only used when left-clicking within the scrollbar itself. (However, I'll add a few options larger than 2 as well )

Status: offline 		Font Problems?

I wonder if everyone having font problems is running XP SP2? It seems that SP2 may have replaced the Arial font. I don't know if the font file is actually corrupted or hasn't been installed correctly for .NET. However, as I don't have XP I can't do any checking.

It may be possible to just copy your existing Arial fonts to another directory, remove the existing font files (use the delete option in explorer or fonts folder of control panel - after making sure no running program is using them) and re-install by one of the three methods below.

(1). Browse to C:\Windows\Fonts
a). Click File/Install new fonts
b). In the lower left window browse to where you copied the fonts, click "Select all" and click OK

(2). Click Start/Settings/Control Panel, find and double click the fonts folder
a). Click File/Install new fonts
b). In the lower left window browse to where you copied the fonts, click "Select all" and click OK

(3). Drag them one at a time from the folder where you copied them to C:\Windows\Fonts folder and windows will automatically install them properly. You can then delete the copies of the fonts

The Arial font files used are:
Arial.ttf
Arialbd.ttf
Arialbi.ttf
Ariali.ttf

I tried this on my system without a problem, but as I don't have the error I don't know if this fixes the problem. I'd be very grateful if someone with the error could try this and let me know the result. If this doesn't fix the problem, then you probably need new font files. Thanks.

Thanks for the heads up.

There's something strange going on, as I've found a couple of other .NET-based programs that have the same problem. I doubt that the font supplied with SP2 is corrupt, but there may be some problem with it's registration for use by the .NET framework. If this is the case, it may, or may not, be related to the installation of SP2. I couldn't find any info on the MS site, so I guess it's not a widespread problem. The removal/reinstallation of the Arial fonts as described above has worked for one user of another program, just wondered if it works for anyone here with the problem. Obviously Bravo11's TweakUI also seems to fix the problem, but the method outlined above can be tried without the need to download anything. Unless I hear otherwise, I think I'll just assume removing/reinstalling the font fixes the problem.

Deleted and re-installed the arial fonts and life is grand
Everything appears to be behaving normally on my laptops running W2000 now.

For the record, my XP system has SP2 and it worked from the get go.....

Go figure.

Good news. Hopefully that fix will work for anyone else having the font problem.

While I'm creating my own WiTP Utility Wish List(tm), I'd like to see:
1) The ability to navigate the map using the middle-click+mouse movement, a la Internet Explorer.
2) Network support, to allow me to run the WiTP Utility on another machine while simultaneously playing on my regular computer,
3) Turn it into a java app, or compile it for linux/Max OSX, because I don't have another Windows machine, but do have an iBook and a server running debian, and therefore wouldn't be able to take advantage of #2, supra, without you also doing #3

OK maybe I should just pay you . . .

P.S. the ability to save the options (I really don't pay much attention to the malaria/cold zones).

Combat reports can be used. As I think I've mentioned before, the way I'd like to use them is a bit more involved than just displaying them on the map and in listings (as is done with the intel/ops). It's something that will get looked at in a future update.

Game saves are encrypted and the data is not available for viewing.

While I'm creating my own WiTP Utility Wish List(tm), I'd like to see:
1) The ability to navigate the map using the middle-click+mouse movement, a la Internet Explorer.
Good idea.

2) Network support, to allow me to run the WiTP Utility on another machine while simultaneously playing on my regular computer,
With one small change to the current version, you'll be able to do this for Windows machines that have network sharing enabled. (Although the autodetection of turn resolution may not work, or may only work for WinXP based machines.)

3) Turn it into a java app, or compile it for linux/Max OSX, because I don't have another Windows machine, but do have an iBook and a server running debian, and therefore wouldn't be able to take advantage of #2, supra, without you also doing #3
You're correct, you would have to pay me to get this.

OK maybe I should just pay you . . .

P.S. the ability to save the options (I really don't pay much attention to the malaria/cold zones).
Good idea, some options are saved, this will be added.

WitP Utility update 24/02/2005


  • Fixed the "Process performance counter is disabled" start up error observed on some systems.
  • Utility now correctly handles operation reports of the form:
    NAMED A/C sighting report: NUM Allied/Japanese ships at XXX,YYY , Speed Z , Moving DIRECTION
  • Setting of malaria zone On/Off now configurable for start up. Also the current setting when utility closes is remembered.
    (Setting of malaria zone used for both malaria nd cold zones)
  • Extra, larger jumps available for the map scroll bars
  • Added the value of daily supplies produced in combination with resources (WITP Manual 13.2.1) to the value of supplies produced daily for a hex.
    (This is result in the supply icon and increased daily supply figure for all resource producing bases)

  • Added a quick reference manual that explains all the options.
  • Added the daily output of oil/6 to the daily fuel output for bases (1 fuel point is produced for every 6 oil points)
  • Corrected incorrect label on Ops Reports Tab (read All Intel Reports instead of All Ops Reports)


The manual only is also available here.

Status: offline 		Hi Bodhi

Just a question of utility intentions. I have using again with manual updates - awesome. However, I discovered a problem when I noticed the spotted CV didn't show up in the report. Are all sightings report in the report? I checked the appended list and it shows 20 sightings for a date, look in the report and only 6 are listed. Is it by detection level or does it miss some of the sightings?

All sightings should be in the report, unless you've filtered some types out of course. If the utility parser chokes on any line, it'll dump that line out to a MissedIntel.txt or a MissedOperationReports.txt file in the utility directory. Look in there and if you see any lines you think should be included, send the file to me and I'll see why it's being missed.

One thing I did consider was drawing sighting reports that have the direction listed as arrowed lines. Would that help, or did you have something else in mind?

I have none filtered out and in the missedoperationsreport these types of sightings are not reported (correct side as playing allies)

Catalina I sighting report: 6 Japanese ships at 39,67 , Speed 3 , Moving West
Do 24K-2 sighting report: 6 Japanese ships at 32,57 , Speed 8 , Moving Southeast
Do 24K-2 sighting report: 1 Japanese ship at 38,59 , Speed 7 , Moving Northwest
Do 24K-2 sighting report: 3 Japanese ships at 32,57 , Speed 8 , Moving Southeast
Do 24K-2 sighting report: 9 Japanese ships at 38,59 , Speed 5 , Moving Southwest
T.IVa sighting report: 9 Japanese ships at 32,75 , Speed 17 , Moving Northwest
Do 24K-2 sighting report: 6 Japanese ships at 39,67 , Speed 8 , Moving West
Do 24K-2 sighting report: 3 Japanese ships at 39,67 , Speed 6 , Moving West
Catalina I sighting report: 1 Japanese ship at 29,26 , Speed 3 , Moving Northwest

Apparently all the non patrol sightings ie coastwatchers
(sighting report: 1 japanese ship at ....) are included
specific ship patrol sightings are included.
TF sightings of non specific ships ie the above ones in the missed operations are not included.

from that players sould be able to plot intercepts based on TF sightings or radio transmissions - unfortunatly I do not now what your programs capable of - I am Also looking at the possiblity of incorporating compass headings on the actual maps
