It seems like it never finished drawing the contents of the table. I have never seen that before.

Some ideas:
- Be sure you have the latest Java JRE. Done
- Be sure your PC is not bogged down with other programs (i.e., does it do the same thing if the WitPTracker is the only program running?) Nothing else is running
- Be sure your hard drive has enough free space to store the database. With this many turns, the database is upwards of 64MB. Have 465 GB
- Try again with a new database (delete the four trackerdb files and then reload all of the turns with the latest version of the program, starting from the first save file). Done

When I click on the victory points pull down menu, the program hangs. The background bleeds again. I can click on another pull down menu, but I can't see an info, background bleeds.

This seems more like a Java problem than a problem with WitPTracker. I have never seen nor heard of this before. Can you try un-installing Java (all instances, if there are multiple) and then re-install? I'm really fishing here, sorry...

I uninstalled Java and then re installed, same thing happened.

Floyd,
In my game against Damian, I've seen most of the "Repair Ships" not keep track of previous turns. Thus, it just gives me the most recent turn damage and no history of repairs. A lot of them come up with unknown location. Is there anything I can do and/or send you?? I cannot let the enemy have it.

Hi, Floyd and Damian,

I've just upgraded to Rel. 1.2; everything worked fine. Now I'm sure that you put a lot of time and effort into 1.2, but you know customers, never content, always demanding more. So I have some remarks and suggestions. especially concerning my particular obsession, ship production:

- the Pilots tab in the Air Groups and Pilots data set still doesn't seem to show all pilots or even recent data

- Ship production: the Accel Delay column still shows the wrong value for odd base delays (a base delay of 7 gives an accel delay of 4, not 3)

- Ship production: You might consider displaying an Estimated Date of Arrival column. This can be calculated in SQL if you've got the game date in the correct DATE format for the installation:
SELECT gamedate + :calculated_delay DAYS AS DATE_OF ARRIVAL

- An additional alert might be helpful that is raised the turn before a ship begins to build, that is DELAY= (DUR * 10) + 1 if normal or DELAY = (DUR * 10) + 2 if accelerated. The message might be: ALERT TYPE ="will start building tomorrow", VALUE = (for instance) "in Tokyo Navy Yard". It's easy to miss a ship starting to build, and, especially if the ship is accelerated, this may tear a fat hole in your shipbuilding budget.

BTW: do you know if it's possible to run queries against the Witptracker database using the database component of Open Office? I can't seem to manage that.

Keep on doing the good work!

Greetings, Mikemike

Michael -

Maybe some special code routine Damian added just for you... Damian did report to me that the history seemed a bit 'short', but in my testing, I see the history since Turn 1...

Are you getting any error messages in the console window? Were there any problems loading the turns?

Upgraded to the new version. I get a hanging when  I try to look at the  victory points as background is bleeding when I try to access another pull down menu. Memory might be low.

Scott,
From my quick read of some tech forums there seems to be some problems that occur with SP3 and Java VM (& some virus protection). I'm not saying that this is definitely it, but it might .

I'll do some tests if I have time later today with SP2 and SP3 and different versions of the Java VM, as some people are talking about either downgrading Java VM or downgrading the SP.

I'll get back to you with the results sometime ... or you might want to try a different (earlier) Java VM version.

First of all really congratulation for your work, I really appreciate this program.

Unfortunately I encountered a problem, I’ll try to be as clear as possible :

My properties file is configured as follow :

Dir=[C:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific]
GameType=[0]
Side=[0]
Password=[abc123]
SaveFile=[witp022.pws]

I started with the tutorial scenario vs AI with option : Allied Computer.
I saved first turn (witp022.pws) and started witpTracker.

The phase of database Initialization is done correctly and I can display all data aggregation of my turn, then i play another turn of game and save again (witp023.pws).
I replace the old save file with the new one in my directory of witpTracker, renamed witp022.pws.

Then I start again witpTracker (the properties file is the same) and via menu I choose “read turn”, at this point the program stop is elaboration at “comparing task forces” phase and never reach an end.
Someone could help me?


P.s.
Sorry for my bad english.

Forgive what might be a naive question, but me and databases have never quite co-existesd in the same brain.....

Would that open up a route to graphing some of the info?

Would it be possible to make the code opensource and allow other programmers such as myself contribute to the program?

Confirmed, my problem is solved.
Thank you very much Floydg.

Looks like the incomplete turn caused the 0's in the history. I can see where things get out of whack and now I need to figure out how to fix it.
