WitPTracker AE Release 1.11 Available!

Had a power failure so the PC was cut off. Once the power came back on I simply ran it and that was the error message.
I purposely had the program running for 5 days because I had exited the program once before and I could not get it to run again
until I deleted the whole folder and created a new one losing all history. Is there some sort of shut down procedure to avoid error messages?
What is the error message trying to tell me? Can I get it back?

I was using tracker for a few days and about 10 turns. Had a power glitch that turned off my PC. restarted to play again but when I started Tracker I receive the message below. Can you not ever turn tracker off or you lose the ability to continue the game?

C:\WitpAE Tracker>java -Xms384m -Xmx512m -jar "WitPTracker.jar"
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 177 >= 177

C:\WitpAE Tracker>pause
Press any key to continue . . .

No it's supposed to work. Did you quit the program or did the PC terminate it on reboot?

I'm not positive, but it looks like the database may be corrupted. I've messed up quite a few DB during testing...

The proper procedure to exit is the "X" box or Exit menu item.

Okay, thanks for replying. I'll delete the folder and start fresh with my recent turn.

What is this? Tried to load a game file from March 2016 and failed.

Make sure the lib folder is unpacked in the same place as the jar and bat file.

Floyd, that didn't help, but I have solved this issue myself.

The Tracker folder sat in the following directory:

E:\0_Jacek\! WITP AEs\Allied_stock_scen33i100_beta_instal na C

The tree looked like this:

E:\0_Jacek\! WITP AEs\Allied_stock_scen33i100_beta_instal na C\! WitPTracker 1.9.2

Lately I changed the directory's name to this:

E:\0_Jacek\! WITP AEs\Allied_stock_scen33i100_beta_instal na C!

The bug Tracker appeared.

I reverted the directory to its original name:

E:\0_Jacek\! WITP AEs\Allied_stock_scen33i100_beta_instal na C

The bug disappeared.

Seems the exclamation mark "!" confused the Tracker.

Can you repeat this bug beahvior on your machine?

I believe you. It's probably the HSQLDB library we use that can't handle that path. Nothing I can do there, so please keep using your workaround.

You can ignore it. The 65500 values blow past the database value limits (32768 is the limit). The atomic bomb won't show in the device list.

thankyou [:)]

I'm giving up messing with this WitP AE Tracker program. First I get it to work, then I have to reinstall (same AE version and setup (i.e.1124) and now it refuses to work. Wasted several hours trying to work with this thing today. Rather spend my time with the game then racking my head against this. Did I say I totally dislike Java... Not the first time I've had problems with Java based programs. Java sucks!!!

edit: and yes Java is still installed along with the Microsoft Visual C++ SP1 update.

edit: for now the .bat file with the nomap option works (what's the difference?) other than the fact that the bat file specifies "nomap", why would this quit working?

[Yaab]

Nomap start means there is no big strategic map visible in Tracker. I have been using nomap file for Tracker for the last four years. With the map file start my RAM memory was not enough to run Tracker.

So how does the big strategic map become visible. (I have 12 GBytes of installed memory)
Is this something extra to download? I'm trying to recall whether I saw a map in my previous usage of WitP AE Tracker or not. I'm betting I didn't, else it would be showing now.

The map only shows under the 'Map' option for the 'Data set' drop-down menu. I use it to keep track of sub sightings and occasionally for a big picture view of search arcs.

Tracker doesn't automatically utilize all your system RAM. You've probably already done this, but make sure to edit the WitPTracker.bat file (or WitPTrackerNoMap.bat if that's what you're using) in the Tracker directory to maximize its use of RAM.

I use the following (these seem to be the highest amounts that work in my tests) for WitPTracker:

Code: Select all

java -Xms512m -Xmx768m -jar "WitPTracker.jar"
 pause

Copy/paste the xms values into the appropriate .bat file using Notepad (or my personal favorite, Notepad++).

It's a bit slow to start and load turns, but otherwise I've had good luck with Tracker; its usefulness makes any work to set it up / slight loading delays well worthwhile.

[Gandalf]

Increasing the memory allowed me to use the "map" .bat. So now I can see the map in the menu dropdown, what is the use other than a quick visual map reference to base locations?

It's also possible to track ship movement, but I don't use it for that.

Just installed this on my win10 laptop and all went smooth as silk, thanks for such a useful addition.

Ok here's a puzzler. Recent action, Japanese bombers attack a TF of mine.

Intel report for the day in game is as shown - 16 bombers taken down by flak or damaged and lost
Detailed report in Tracker Victory Points - Air losses Tab 14 bombers taken down
Totals for Japanese losses that move - at the bottom of the Victory Points screen 3 bombers....

This was the only enemy action this turn in the air. If the three reports are form the same raw data, how come the difference? This is not Combat Reports where FOW would mess up the data.

Puzzling.

Roger -

I may be reading the information from the wrong tables in the save file. The per-plane stuff comes from one place and the totals from another.

Floydg, how about adding "Ship Comparison" feature in Tracker? We already can compare aircraft and it is great, but ship classes are so many and varied in the game as are the aircraft. Just a thought.

[Korvar]

I created an icon for my copy of Tracker and thought I'd share. Since I can't attach anything other than image files to this thread, I've attached a JPEG file instead.

Preview:




Edit: I was able to attach a .zip file with the .ico file in the Combat Reporter thread.

Hmmm.... I suppose that's possible.

[larryfulkerson]

I'd like to make a small request if that's okay with you guys. I've posted below a recent post in my AAR but I've added to it some
verbage to explain what I've done with the last turn loaded phrase that usually appears at the bottom of the page. I'm wondering
how hard it would be to move it to the top like I've depicted. I've been doing a cut & paste of it in the pictures I post and it's becoming
tedious. If it can't be moved for whatever reason, I can live with it. Just thinking out loud.
