nardiajn -> Tracker problem with save game file (3/3/2015 1:01:40 AM)
Hi - Attempting to use tracker for the first time ever.. and had to make a few mods (Windows 8) (see attached error log) file is wpae005.pws my witptracker.properties.txt file # WitPTracker AE properties file # Directory of the game Dir=[C:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition\] # Type of game. 0=AI, 1=PBEM GameType=[1] # Side you are playing. 0=Japan, 1=Allies Side=[1] # Password. Only needed for PBEM Password=[xxxx] # Name of the base save file SaveFile=[wpae005.pws] # Mode the program will look for save files. # 0 = just in the local folder # 1 = just in the game folder: [Dir]/SAVE # 2 = local and then if not found there, the game folder SaveMode=[2] # Text to put in the header of the main window Header=[wpae005] # Turn cycle (days per turn). 1 or 2 are supported TurnCycle=[1] any ideas ? seems to me I have the correct name.. path, etc.. but perplexed as to the error... is this the issue with an incorrect path ? ERROR: Save game file "C:\Matrix Games\WITP Tracker\wpae005.pws" (if save file is in save folder is that the issue) thanks in advance Al

Check for pwsdll.dll in the tracker directory. Copy over the one from the game directory (or if using the beta, from the beta directory) to the tracker directory.

Hi Michael - I tried that.. same exact error.. path name to start game (Beta version) "C:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition" still pulling my hair out...

FWIW, in mine I don't have the last slash (\) in the Dir line. No slash after Edition. I've also never used SaveMode=[2]. I always move the incoming turn file directly into the Save Folder and use SaveMode-1. You might try that and see if it helps.

nardiajn -> RE: Tracker problem with save game file (3/3/2015 4:36:17 PM)
hmmm no luck with the above methods.... (getting less hair on my head :) ) Save file is C:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition\SAVE Tracker is in C:\Matrix Games\WITP Tracker\WitPTracker.bat

Did you copy wpae005.pws into your Tracker folder?

nardiajn -> RE: Tracker problem with save game file (3/3/2015 10:15:51 PM)
Hi Yes I just tried that and when I did, I have a bunch of Java messages... I will keep trying.. keep the ideas coming... sooner or later we will have a winner :)

resolved ... I had 2 witptracker.properties files one of them a .txt (duh) slinking away under the rock of shame....L)

no worries, no shame, nardiajn. Now that you've got Tracker working, you're in the Gold Zone. My experience is, save & close down the game after 4 turns, then close Tracker. Re-start the game, then re-start Tracker. Running the game thru 6 or more turns will be ok, but tracker can get horked if it doesn't get closed/restarted at 4-turn intervals - especially if it don't have adequate memory assigned in its start-up line.
