I am trying to find out the maps Nth Sth orintaion at the moment . wath I was thinking of was a compass rose portraded in the utilities graphics somewhere) when in full screen there is a large vacant panel top right would be Ideal) orintated to the maps nth/south
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

Just checked my version and it seems to be working, but my version is newer than that posted as it contains combat report information. This update should be available in a day or two.

Hey Bodhi,

One other question for a future version. Is there any easy way to add a zoom feature for the map or inleiu of that a map that covers more territory ?

I'd say almost no chance of a zoom feature (either in or out). With the current version, if you run at a higher screen resolution than 1024x768, you can make the window larger and most of the extra space gained will be used by the map. What I may do is to separate the options/report tabs and place them on a separate window, but I'm not yet certain that this would gain anything as I, for one, would always have this window displayed in front of the map anyway.

As for the fonts, they're all there. I assume the Net Framework is 1.1 and up to date as well?

Combat Report info ........
Now THAT'S a nice addition.

Don't know if anyone has asked this, but I got one for you. There are times that I wnat to coordinate multiple attacks being launched from multiple bases using multiple TF's. Is there a way to input the start/finish locations and provide the date you wish to arrive and have it compute the TF speed required ?

1024 X 768 is a "higher" resolution? I just threw away three old 17" Monitors that did 1280x1024.... I currently run at 1920x1400.....

• Added simple display and reporting of combat reports
  
• Added extra tab for reporting active combat reports for current hex
  
• Added extra options tab for designating the types of active combat reports
  
• Modified the location of icons within a hex

• Modified the display order of oil/fuel/supply/resources, both on map and on the bases tab
  
• Updated the reference manual

Bodhi,
If you already have the utility, do you still just download the whole new version of the utility and go through the set-up process? Thanks for all your hard work.

• Download the updated file
  
• Uninstall the existing utility
  
• Extract the files from the download
  
• Install the new version to the same folder as the previous version

Combat reports are a really nice addition. I'm finding it very useful since I turned off the combat summary option in the game.

I'm still having the issue with parts of the screen being hidden behind the taskbar at the bottom, though. Seems I need a resolution > 1024x768 to see the whole display at one time. If I maximize the window, I still lose the tabs (see graphic below).

Hope that can be addressed in your next tweak.

Relative to my question regarding an "planner" feature for departure date to hit an arrival date at a given location (yeah, I thought about the limitation of tf speed settings messing with my idea (after the fact - isn't that always the case). Your idea of picking departure date is a good one. Is this limited currently for base to base or does it support mid-ocean hexes as well ? ie could I use it to attempt a mid ocean intercept (of my own stuff or the other guys ?)

From that image the top seems fine, there isn't anything above the tabs at the top. As for the bottom, it's just the taskbar masking the bottom of the window. On the task bar options you can uncheck the "Always on top" option, or check the "Autohide" option. That should fix the problem (if you're running WITP in windowed mode as well, you'll probably want to do one of these anyway).

Now that I recall, WitP did the same thing, and that annoyed me too.

No, I didn't say 1024 X 768 is a "higher" resolution read the post again (or the bit highlighted in blue ). The reason 1024 X 768 was mentioned was that's the resolution that WitP uses.

OK, downloaded Witp_utility for the first time. Re-ran one turn from a PBEM, and it looks really cool and useful but...

The combats report tab is empty. The combat file is in the new directory created by the tool; sigint and operations reports view fine; but the combat report tab is blank.

Any ideas?

One comment is that I play two day turns - any chance that confuses it?

hi Bodhi me again in susing the util I find that it be very usefull to have a secondary sort function inthe intel/ops data area
1 to sort the day column
2 to sort the details odthe reports

maybe use a combination of left cntrl button and mouse key or even the the right hand mouse button -should be possible

One other idea. The combat report window will be blank until you click on a hex where a battle occurred. Then the combat report for that hex is shown in the window. This one took me a bit to figure out.
Hope it helps.

Bodhi, Really sweet

Is the big gap in the cold zone due to the games definition of the zone or your program?
