Are there any updates in the pipe for this tool?

[cdoarm]

I am currently running Windows 8 with the lastest Beta patch for WITP:AE. When using this utility, the program works fine but the map doesn't come up. Could you assist?

I am running the RA 6.6 mod with the Extended Map (Asian Roads) w/SL

EDIT: Fixed it. Anyone get that error, here is how you fix it.

1) Go to your [path]\bin folder for your Java install

2) Create a new folder titled 'server' without the quotes

3) Go into the 'Client' folder in [path]\bin

4)Copy those files and place them in your newly created 'server' folder

thanks Rebel, your fix worked for me!

Is anyone using it with Windows 8.1? No matter what i am trying, it always stops with lots of errors. Tried with 32 and/or 64Bit Java, new installations of WitPAE on C or D and serveral new downloads of the Reporter, but no luck.
After playing with the CombatReporter for some years, there is no way back...[:D]

For some strange reason, i always get a "wrong registry Key" message after installing the v1.01.08r9 update, but WitPAE starts without any problems - but i doubt this is connected to the CombatReporter problem.

Edit:
These are the errors i get:

Edit2:

Seems to be a Java 8.x problem. I will try it again with Java 7.71.

Edit3:
Its indeed a problem with java 8.x (missing the "groovy" liberies?). After installing Java 7.71 the combat reporter works fine.

[Dragoastro]

I cannot get Combat Reporter to run. I updated my Java to version 8 Update 40. Combat Reporter tool is upzipped. I double click combatreporter.bat and get a cmd window that says:

Error: missing 'server' JVM at 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_40\bin\server\jvm.dll'. Please install or use the JRE or JDK that contains these missing components.

I looked for the server folder here and I do not have it. What do I need to do to proceed?

[Dragoastro]

Partial progress. Followed this advice:

EDIT: Fixed it. Anyone get that error, here is how you fix it.

1) Go to your [path]\bin folder for your Java install

2) Create a new folder titled 'server' without the quotes

3) Go into the 'Client' folder in [path]\bin

4)Copy those files and place them in your newly created 'server' folder

OR

You might just be able to rename the client file to server?




Now I see the Combat Reporter splash screen for a second. Then it dies. I have a command window:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: java/util/HashMap$Entry ...

Can anyone help with this?

[Dragoastro]

Downloaded and ran Java Update 8.0.400 which allegedly installs java update 7.71. Still getting same error. Java Update checker still says I have Java version 8 Update 40.

[Dragoastro]

Rebooted. Now running Java 7.71, combatreporter still doesn't work. Now I get:

'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Now what do I have to do? This is getting frustrating ...

[Dragoastro]

FYI, fix is to set a PATH variable to the Java bin folder. Finally have it working

[MAARTENR]

See the picture what for message i get. I've changed the D: into C: but thats doesnt matter.
Please help me.

Hi, have you edited the combatreport.bat file?

By default it contain this string:
java -splash:UV1024.jpg -Xmx1024m -server -jar combatreporter.jar
pause

Cancel -server, save and retry. Hope this help.

[MAARTENR]

I think its java and what do you mean with the server?
And thanx for your help.

Well, I'm sorry if I misunderstand your request, but (as always said) I'm in trouble to understand english correctly. Anyway, I mean this, see picture below:



Don't ask me why, but when I delete -server all is ok. And I used CombatReport for years. Don't know if this is useful for you, just give it a try and see what happen (if your PC explode, well...I assume by your nick you're Dutch, so you must come to Italy to catch me, and when you arrive I'm in Libia). [:D]

[MAARTENR]

Ok mate that works but now i got another problem.[:D]
Must i install java6 and how does that works?
Or does this is becausse i've got the newest witptracker?

[SilentHunter]

Looks like the same issues as the poster above, I'm on Windows 7. I added a environment variable pointed to the bin folder, and modified the .bat file to be ("C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_51\bin\java.exe" -splash:UV1024.jpg -Xmx1024m -jar combatreporter.jar)

I had combat reporter working using Java 6 , but wanted to try tracker because people said you can run both. So I downloaded and installed 1.8.0_51 32 bit and I can get tracker to work but not combat reporter. Below is the error, any ideas? Thanks

combat reporter requires java 6 to run. edit your batch file to be something like this:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\java" -splash:UV1024.jpg -Xmx1024m -jar combatReport.jar
pause

where this: (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\java
is the path to the java 6 install. Java doesn't care how many installs you have, and you can point every program using java to a unique install if you must. I have java4 and java6 on this machine in addition to the latest as I have some old software that can't migrate up.
