That is interesting, I always thought they were interchangeable.

I've tried everything and can't stop throwing this error. What am I missing

Trying to setup CR, I've used in the past and it's great. My calendar option is not coming up when trying to install for the first time. I tried putting it in manually but that does not work. Is there a work around or did I miss something in the setup?

Ok I some how figured out how to get it to work. If someone is having "recent issues" try PM me. Mine was a calendar issue so I had to manually edit the settings. easy fix

Well, you need the map where CR can find it.

My recommendation is that you back up your entire art folder if you have the disk space.
Then put the mod map in it. Then you will have an art folder with a standard map and an
art folder with the mod map.You can just swap out art folders.

Getting CR to work is tricky.

I just did a new install and it looks like the calendar does not work.
I had to set it up manually.

Note that Windows 10 did not like my spelling of "Admiral's"
It wanted a slash in it like below:

Thanks for the reply.
I noticed the CR map is hexless so I left the hexless stock map in the art folder, and swapped the hex map art with chem kids hex map and voila it worked.chemkid map in game stock map in CR

Quick question.

Does this utility only work for saved games overwritten each turn in the same saved game slot as is the case for Tracker?

Tracker is completely useless to me as I save my games consecutively in each and every available saved game slot only overwriting a previous save after I have used up every one of the 189 available saved game slots.

This makes use of the text files that are generated when you run the next turn. You do need to add the -archive switch into your command line.

This thing is really annoying me. It resolutely refuses to load the reports, even if I specifically tell it which save file to load. The worst bit is, it's loading old saves (from a couple of months ago) just fine, but the one I saved literally about 5 minutes ago is apparently too hard. Yes, I double-checked (and triple-checked) the settings; I have the right save location, the right install location, the right date and time, I picked the correct side, the settings are all correct. It's just refusing to load.

Looking in the command line, it seems to be throwing an error. I tried copying it out here, but the forum didn't like it for some reason, so I can't. Sorry.

it is a bit finicky, be sure you have a clean java load. also, one bad text file will pooch it. what you are describing, I would point it at a new game start and see how it runs.

In my current game, I have had intervals where turns wouldn't load, but I could always trace it back to one text file that had something funny in it and was causing it to fail. deleting the file fixed it.

This was a new game. I literally saved as soon as the turn resolution ended on 8th December.

Pretty sure my Java install is fine; Combat Reporter loads other saves fine, it just seems to be a problem with these newest saves.

What kind of text files are you referring to? Ones generated by the game, or by Combat Reporter? What should I be looking for?

Hi Bret. Thanks for your hard work throughout the years.

I've downloaded and extracted version 1.1. Launching the .bat file briefly shows the splash screen, then gives me the following:

A follow up - I installed the Java 8 jre, and specified that version to run combat reporter, and everything works great.

Thanks again for your program :)

Old age must be catching up to me. How do I change the base.csv file to show I use DBB with extended map? I must be brain dead this morning.

I'm totally lost. I got Java 1.8 on my Win 8.1 and placed this combatreporter inside the WiTP tools folder. Starting up the *.bat file gives
Error: Unable to access jarfile combatreporter.jar.
All this happens in a command window

Not sure if I got Java jre too, but stumbling in on Oracles site gives me hundreds of DL suggestions. It's like a needle in a haystack. Which one to DL, actually if any.
When opening the commandprmpt and running javar -version I get the notion I got correct versions.
Java Version 1.8.0_211
SE Runtime environment (build same 1.8)
64-bit server (build 25.211-b12, mixed mode)

That's Greek to me so appreciate any help on how to get this CombatReporter to work on my new game.
It sounds and looks like almost a must

As far as i am aware combat reporter comes with the required Java in the zip file , just extract the whole folder to anywhere you want , setup the preferences part properly and it should work

Yes I see a java file in the zipfile but nothing on properties.
That file combatreport.properties was not in the zip I DL.

I tried to create such a file but same message, so I'm confident that might not be the issue here.

Hi.

I've been using Combat Reporter successfully for the last 6 months, but i've just opened it after running my last turn and it no longer shows the Operations for the last turn or any of the past turns either.

Does anyone have any idea what I need to do to put this right? I appreciate any help you can give.

Hi, looking for some help troubleshooting CR issues. After Windows reinstall I downloaded latest version, downloaded Java update, reinstalled WITP and tried to get CR going. I manage to get the map loaded but I cant get actual reports to load, not even when manually loading save. I triple checked and all paths and settings seem to be correct.

You might try this.

I had trouble the last time I installed.

My computer did not like the Apostrophe in Admiral’s.

I added a backslash after the L.

If you are using Archive you have to add it.

Most likely ran out of memory. You have to clear out all of the old reports and restart over...

Thanks for the input but unfortunately it isnt the issue, I dont have apostrophe in my game path. Archive switch is active

I'm not quite sure what Patch 3 is, but you should be using the latest version of WitP-AE anyway (see attached). If you have something different, this thread will help you upgrade.

That said, it sounds like this is your real problem:

quote:

1. The map is no longer included and you need to tell Combat Reporter where you installed WitPAE so it can find the WitPAE map. You will set this in the preferences when you start the application.


That came from post #1 in this thread, where he also mentions a "black map" problem which has a different solution (see top of his post). That's not what you reported, but there it is.

Thanks for the reply Kull,

I have managed to get it working using the info in this forum.

I had to do the following;

Edit the; combatreport.bat report file as below

set JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_311
set PATH=C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_311\bin\
java -splash:UV1024.jpg -Xmx768m -jar combatreporter.jar
pause

setting the JAVA path - cleared up the initial error on loading.

changing the resolution to "768" in the .bat file fixed the issue with the black map.

Lastly becasue I dont want to change by date / time setting to US format you do have to initially manually enter this when you do the initial preferences setup....

After you first setup the CR app creates a new config file; "combatReport.properties" Im guessing you can then edit this directly to change the date for your most recent game.

I had all the correct versions and now also understand how to set the paths so I can use ChemKids maps but ref the old stock maps in a backup folder.

I can see this being a very helpful tool, Ill be looking to get WitPE Tracker up and running next to see what this does - though Im still a long way away from the production and meaty logistics side of the game, yet.....

Thanks.
