I checked the editor and I see why you don't see anything, because the editor also shows nothing for the SS classes.
Well fact is in game they have cargo capacity, I think except for the SSX all have cargo capacity and some also troop capacity.
In this case the Argonaut has 24, not much but no sub has very much.

This isn't a DLL problem or?

OK - maybe that is WAD or a bug ... or for SSX's [&:]

No not a dll problem ...

maybe talking through my 'arris' but could have somethink to do with the mines that can be carried? if no mines carried the space converts to cargo space?

In editor only SST 's show troop and /or cargo values but most subs show mines in device #9??

You are probably referring to the ability to replace some torpedo loads with some supply carrying capability. This is in addition to normal supply carrying capacity.
This is roughly 3 times the number of reloads replaced, and would only apply on supply missions presumably.

Well I guess that's it, are these values stored in the database or where do they come from?

They are calculated on the fly when a Sub Transport mission is used. Reporting them in Tracker would probably be misleading as it would show cargo capacity AND torpedo loads -1 which should be mutually exclusive.

What does this mean, please? I can't get tracker to start. Sometimes it does but other times it gives this. Using Win7, 64 bit, current version of Java.

@michaelm
Well as long as the player knows he sacrifices his ammo to gain that cargo capacity I wouldn't mind to see it listed, would help to decide on what subs to use for supply runs as I don't want to use any of the real transport subs with there precious troop capacity for such a run.
BTW isn't 3 times a bit much? Looking at subs like Gato class that can carries 60 tons it seem much too much for the torpedoes left behind.

I'm playing Grand Campaign as the IJP.

I've had this message come up in Tracker under Alerts:-

Turn : 9

Object Type: Economic

Object Name: Veh Assembly

Alert Type: Global Veh Points

Value: 146

Severity: Critical

What is it pointing me to? What can I do about it?

Tracker is such a brilliant tool, but what with relearning the game and tracker at the same time has been a bit of a struggle, but I am determined to slay the beast of the Japanese Economy.... but sometimes I wonder where to start[&:]


Can anybody point this restarted beginner in the right direction?

It is telling you that Vehicle points are very low. I think I made the threshold below 5K iirc. What you need to do is to increase you vehicle factories to about 200~250. I think they start at about 78?? So increase each of them by enough so that you get increase in production across all of them so that you reach 200~250 in the fastest possible time. Make sure you have 10K + supply at each base

Hi,
I wanted to start using Tracker again (not using it since a long time, and I changed computer since last time), but I've got a problem.

I first had to install java (wasn't installed at first... go figure[8|]), but now Tracker doesn't work... and I'm no crack at computers.

Here's a screenshot.

Any advice ? I fear the solution might be simple, but still above my head...[:o]

Delete all the trackerdb.* files and then:
1. Edit the batch file WitptrackerNoMap.bat

Code: Select all

java -Xms512m -Xmx768m -jar "WitPTracker.jar" nomap
 pause
2. Try running again.

Delete the trackerdb.* files.
Copy the pwsdll.dll file from the game folder to the WitPTracker folder.
Try running the WitPTracker.bat again.

Can you have more than one copy of Tracker installed on your machine?

The reason I have asked, is that I have a copy of tracker up and running perfectly for my originally installed game, 'War in the Pacific Admirals Edition'.
( that I'm using for PBEM ) .

The second copy is in the same Matrix Directory but is retitled into a slightly different place ie 'WitP AE First Copy'. Will this affect Tracker, because I can't get Tracker to work in this second directory, as it comes up with error codes. What am I doing wrong?
