Tracker is running great for me! It's even better than the original WITP Tracker, so congrats to you on a wonderful release.

I just have one minor (and probably obvious) question. I've never used Tracker in a PBEM before. I'm playing Japan, and I ran Tracker after I sent my turn 1 off to my opponent. It generated a valid database of info on my empire as of December 7. My opponent then sent back his turn 1, I ran the replay, and now I'm starting my orders for Turn 2. I tried running Tracker at this point, but it still just generated a report for turn 1, December 7. At one point will it read Turn 2? After both I and my opponent have entered orders for Turn 2, I assume?

Once again, thank you for all the time and effort you put into this. I've loved using it for AI games, and I'm really thrilled to have it at my side for a PBEM.

Hi Damian

I've got 1.4 (and 1.31) running fine on my laptop - however, 1.4 will *only* let me see japanese player turns, regardless of which 'SIDE' I set it to -

I load 1.31 on the same computer, with the same properties file (just cut n paste it over) and it works fine.

savefile is here:
http://www.divshare.com/download/10139248-40a


any ideas on this one? Again - the program works fine - except that I only see JAPANESE player information, regardless of SIDE settings.

Here is the properties file:
Dir=[f:\games\witp admiral]
GameType=[0]
Side=[0]
Password=[abc123]
SaveFile=[wpae138.pws]
SaveMode=[1]

also tried with Side=[1]

got a problem with the setup; got to the point where during setup you set up (if i writeit a fourth time, i will invite you on a drink) the properties file. Java cannot seem to open it. It gives me an error message of can't read line 0 or something like that.
Windows XP. Am at work now, so i will send you the true error message via e-mail tomorrow, if allowed.

I have an Intel Core i7-860 processor running under System 7. I have a Save game for the initial save of The Thousand Mile War scenario saved in slot 3 and copied to the WITP Tracker folder which is in my WITP AE game folder. I have copied Java.exe (version 6.0.140.8) into my WITP Tracker folder. I have downloaded both vcredist_x86.exe and vcredist_x64.exe for trial and have the following errors when I double click the Witp Tracker batch file:

I have looked through all 31 pages of forum info and I find that Post 744 and Post 858 seem to have similar errors. I do not understand how to do the remedy which is suggested in Post 861 by n01487477. Is part of my problem the fact that I am using the initial save from the TTMW scenario? The error seems to be associated with AMD processors and mine is an Intel. I seem to be asking a question similar to others, but I hope you realize that I am doing due diligence before asking. I am not familiar with using Java and the C langauge.

Try doing this ...

-Uninstall any and all C++ libraries 95 and 98
-Uninstall Java 64 and 32
-Reinstall the Java 32bit JVM
-Reinstall the 32 bit C++ patch (someone reported the latest patch didn't wok but the original did ... I'd try both)
-Run from the batch

(I'm not sure if you can then install Java 64bit JRE and configure it to work as well)

Hope this helps...

TOE Upgrades

I've looked through Tracker, but as I'm still exploring all the nooks and crannies my apologies if this is already in there.

Apparently there are some requirements for LCU's to get TOE upgrades. In game, it's difficult to see when it is that an LCU is scheduled to get a TOE upgrade.

Would you add a field to the LCU screen that shows the LCU's next scheduled TOE upgrade date? I suppose if there is already one overdue that should be displayed instead.

Here is a thread on the issue:

I'm also going to look into withdrawals as well as Air support and over-stacking. Are there any other suggestions apart from the expansion of reports ?

Better window resizing on all pages! I'm on a 1280x800 laptop screen and a lot of times the bottom of the page is cut off. Very frustrating since some of the pages resize just fine and often on the problem pages there is a lot of blank space at the top of the main screen.

Other than that a very nice effort on this. Very useful!

Hi Damian and Floyd,

thanks again for this wonderful tool and your help.

So much for the praise and here are my wishes
I find it extremely important to plan the disposition of the LCUs because they are very difficult to move to another spot if they are on the wrong side of the world.
To be able to better plan this I would like to propose the following additions to the LCU screen if possible:

Add the following columns to the table:
- restricted unit (true/false)
- static unit (true/false)
- Engineer Value (Engineers + Vehicles * 5)
- loadcost AP
- loadcost AK
- HQ Support Value
- HQ Naval Support Value
- HQ Air Support Value

Add the following filters:
- show all units / only restricted / all but restricted
- show all units / only static / all but static

Is it possible to add a summary line where values are added?
If I filter for example "show me all units in Truk" then I could see the combined values from the units in this base (Engineer Value, Naval Support, Air Support, AV, loadcosts, ...)

Another (bigger) wish would be to add two extra data fields like the Notes field you added already.
The first would be something like "planned destination". I know that I can use the "plan for" field but 1. Perhaps the unit is at first to go to "Wake" but is already planning for an invasion of Midway later and 2. the enemy as a good chance to read "plan for" via SigInt In both cases I would not like to use the "plan for" field.
This should be a drop down list with all bases from AE. A filter for this field would be important too.

The second field that I would like to have is something like "operation". Here I would enter for example "Malaya", "West Pacific", "DEI", "Burma", ... By filtering the operation field (add filter for operation ) and then checking the summary lines I have a very good overview where I have too few or perhaps too many AV, Naval support, Engineers.
It would also be possible to see the needed AK and AP loadcosts for the units taking part in the operation.
The operation field could also be filled via drop down list. This list could be edited elsewhere in your tool (for example File - operations...).

Please consider my ideas.
Anyway thank you again very much.
You have one of the all time best products on the market considering cost-benefit

Marc

Thanks Damian, but I don't have the skills to do the above with any confidence that I am not going to mess up and screw up my computer. Unfortunately I may have to do without using witp Tracker and go back to playing UV. Maybe just play the smaller scenarios without "player aids". I don't regret the investment. I have got my money's worth just by scanning the scenarios, maps and reading the forum.

Question for Damian, Floyd or others:
Now that the program is running, using the initial save data from the TTMW scenario, I selected Leaders with air group, all and assigned filters for display on the WitP Tracker AE screen. This was done in order to decide on any initial leader changes. Unfortunately, I could not figure out how to export this information as an Excel file in order to manipulate or printout the data. Leaders is not of the allowable data sets to export in the "Export to CSV" window and I do not know another way to print out this data which would be very useful to manipulate. I assume that "Export to CSV" is the only way to print except for using "screen capture"?

Thanks guys for helping us be so anal about witp AE data. WitPTracker AE is wonderful!

A pretty minor issue, but when you play around with regions (specifically the window that lets you change them from one to another), they sort numerically (probably based on the order in which each was created). It would be helpful if the sort was alphabetical. Admittedly, 99% of WitP-AE Tracker users won't notice, so don't bother if this is even remotely complicated.

Hi tracker team.


I wondere if you can aid me in edeting the .exe file i got from you for +/- 4 months ago.
I have started a game as Japan and can not get tracker to work when I edit the propoties file,  I think it can be because my tracker is launched from a exe and not from a batcxh file.  I sent you a mail but got a error when mailing you.

Okay, I see the data items in the save file and I think I have an idea on how to handle it. I'll work on that function now for the next release. And to reiterate Damian's request: if someone does have saves which are pre-upgrade by a turn or two, that would help in testing.

Floyd

Added TOE upgrade delay to the "LCUs" tab and added a Special filter to show only those LCUs with a TOE upgrade (see below):

Yes, I see where I do it in the Regions pop-up window. It's a little complicated to change, since I have some special cases for the Unassigned region, which I force to show up first.
