Wow cool! JJJ65 strikes again!

Regards,

Jeff

As I'm flying easiest claim, is it also possible to change enemy plane text to the description of the plane type like Fokker eindecker!!!

Super cool, JJJ! While I can only muck around with text files, JJJ is a true artist! Thank you, sir for all of your work!

Your skills keep amazing us Jara!
Will definitly give your new mod a try.

Thank you for your work and devotion!
Greetings Dieter

Thanks Sirs for kudos, but it was originally OldHat's idea and request. I am only poor servant trying to fulfill his wishes

Thanks a lot JJJ (and OldHat), a very nice application.

I have been thinking at the possibilities a LogBook viewer and editor has. It would be great if this nice little app could show a victory list for each pilot (I mean showing info about the actual downed pilots).

Actually, I have been thinking for a long time that being able to append a detailed mission report would be great in itself.

Ditto! Been imagining that as well. Very exciting JJJ, OldHat. A thanks for your efforts!

Could this be changed, as an flyer of easiest claim mode, so I can change the text at the red arrows, to the type of plane or balloon.

Not yet, but I just work on update that will allow preview and modifications to kill reports.

Whatever features you add to this are sure to be very welcomed JJJ!!

Version 0.7 released PilotLogEditor
History of changes:
v 0.7
- added killspreview/editor - just click on kills number on main screen
- added kill report/details editor
- fixed bug with long string editing caused by EndOfLine characters
Enjoy!

Very cool! Thanks JJJ.

Thank you very much JJJ!

Thank you Triple-J. I can finally correct my spelling mistakes!

Nice work JJJ65!

Thx, guys.
Any suggestion for improvement or feature request would be appreciated.

Well, ....now that you ask! A slick claims and mission summary editor would be cool for adding more details after the mission.
What do you think?

It is already implemented - you can edit and save mission description after clicking on mission number (left column). The same is valid for kill claims/report .
Or, can you be more specific, pls? Thx.

Oh, ok JJJ65. I didn't know I could do that. I will check it out. It may be all I need.

Tnx for the directions.

Yep I know this sound stupid, I have to install this http://SimHQ.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/4282306/1 first I think! This is right mission editor you mention at the first post?

No, that is not needed to run PilotLogEditor. Just DL PilotLogEditor.jar file (the latest version is 0.7.2), put it anywhere on your PC and run it. That is all.

Then is this. Just drop the file in the same folder as the mission editor and you can run it by double clicking on it. a little bit confusing what folder if you do not have the mission editor installed.

Yep, sorry, that simple manual was written by OldHat and he was/is not aware that this app can be run without mission editor.

UPDATE:;

JJJ65, I looked at your advice but that is not quite what I mean. I was looking to add quite a bit of text describing the mission but not in the "Mission Type" field. Maybe in a "Mission Report" field. It could be done in the Mission Type field but your application does not currently support multiple lines of data and only displays limited field length even though I can type in more info and it appears to be saved.

I couldn't find a "Kill/claims Report" java applet. Did you create one? If so, it would be nice to see both reports combined.

Look forward to your thoughts and suggestions.

Best Regards

What folder???? It is all empty included the pull down menu. .

Dutch, the application only shows activities associated with "Campaign Missions" not "Quick Combat" sessions. Do you have any Campaign Missions completed?

I do not play QC only campaign, so I have to edit when WoFF UE is still in campaign mode

No help needed, just a matter of editing the pilots txt file in the campaign folder, using plain notepad and I can fill in the type of plane/balloon [claim] and the remarks. So that is for me sufficient.

But many thanks for helping and making this mod. While modders, do understand your work is very important for the whole Woff community, please keep on.

Sorry dutch to hear that, something must be wrong. It seems that app crashes during loading of your WOFF pilots list. Probably it can not find your WOFF UE installation

Robert, let me try to describe some of PilotLogEditor functionality :

Entry screen where you can choose your pilot for viewing/editing. You can click on any mission number to see/edit a mission details and/or click on Kills button to see/edit pilot's kills:

After clicking on mission number, a mission description window opens. You can write your mission description/details here:

If you click on Kills number button (located on entry screen), a Pilot kills record window opens:

Select any any kill number or Rejected claim (in L/H column) and respective kill/claim report window appears. There you can edit your kill report/description:

Here is the final output of mission description editing when viewed in WOFF UE:

and here is the result of kill report editing as viewed from WOFF UE:


If you have any suggestions, let me know it, pls.

1. (Just dreaming, I guess...)Would it be remotely possible to include a map so that we could (manually)pinpoint the approximate location of our kills?
2. Markmanship statistics? Hit rate %?

1. Yes, but problem is the format and size of attached map (available for editing)
2. Yes, you can expect it in the next release

Vesrion 0.8 released : PilotLogEditor v0.8
- Fixed Word wrapping;
- Added marksmanship info (rounds fired and hit...) ;

Thanks for the helpful explanation JJJ65. It would be a nice feature if you could add a "HELP" option when a person right clicks on an editable field and have that help field display the instructions like you just gave to me. It might help other people.

Just a suggestion... thanks for all your help and the great work you do.

JJJ65, When I follow your instructions above I do not get the mission description window you show above. Nothing happens.



JJJ65, When I follow your instructions above I do not get the kill/claim report window you show above. Nothing happens.

I have noticed it as well. The mouse clicks don't always get recognized. Sometimes I have to close the program and open it again for it to work. It also breaks down when switching from one pilot to another - information doesn't refresh and I see the previous pilot's stats. Probably an interface glitch.

Actually, I have never been able to get the "mission edit" window or the "Kills edit" window to come up as JJJ65 shows it should.

I have a video demonstrating my efforts uploading now and will post it here as soon as it finishes.

It´s working like a charm here JJJ, thanks for adding features every single day!

More things to implement if possible:

1. Sortable columns ( max/min time, ...)
2. Status of the pilot (Deceased, active,...)
3. When the enemy pilot killed is an ace information or even a pic of the pilot downed could be given,...

I am confused why it works for some and not others.

Sorry guys for all problems and unconvenience. Maybe it is problem caused by Java or OS version. I have tested it on Win 7 and Win 8.1 so far only. I will try to look into it tomorrow. Can you give me an info about your OS and Java versions, pls? Thx. Can you update to the latest version of Java SE, pls?

1) Sorry, I did not get you - what time do you mean, pls?
2) OK, that would be no problem - check the next release, pls
3) OK, that is possible - probably in the next release too
Thx for suggestions.

JJJ65

Here is the answer to your question about the Java version installed on my Windows 7 system:
The first one is in the Program Files and the second in the Program Files(X86) directories

1) Sorry, I did not get you - what time do you mean, pls?

What I mean is the possibility to click on the column header (let´s say mission time duration....) so that we could have it sorted from longest to shortest (just an example) ...

Robert and Fullofit
do you have manually edited Log and/or Claim files? If so, can you send me, pls, one file as a sample for testing? I am suspicious that some file/string formatting can cause the PilotLogEditor does not work properly. The best would be if you can send me a dossier, claim and log file of one of your pilot, that PilotLogEditor can not open/display properly.
Thx for support and debugging/testing.

JJJ65, I have sent you a PM with the Pilots folder in zip format

Thx Robert, check your PMs, pls.

JJJ65, the problem is resolved. I was missing the "lib" folder!

That was my fault, I did not included it .
I apologize to everyone and here is the latest, full version of Pilot LogEditor:
PilotLogEditor 0.8.1
- Added missing library
- added pilot status
- added shot down ace photo (LMB click on enemy pilot name in kill report table)

Hi Triple-J, just saw your post and was about to send you my pilot logs, but I see that there is a new version out. Just tried it and it works great. Thanks a bunch!

You are welcome. I am glad it works for you.

Version 0.8.2 released: PilotLogEditor 0.8.2
Latest changes:
- Fixed word wrapping in text fields;
- Added marksmanship info (rounds fired, hits and percentage);
- Added Historical Aces photo and personal info (click on HA name in Pilot's kill table);
- number of table lines set dynamically;
- fixed bug where colored regions caused app to hang

Enjoy!

That is a nice feature (ace bio). Thanks!

Great work!

Thanks once again JJJ!

Me likey!

Thanks to Robert Wiggins I can provide you with WOFF UE Pilot Log Editor manual.
Download here

On many requests from fellow woffers I have added to Pilot Log Editor new feature allowing pilot to transfer between different countries and/or units. So, if you want your US pilot flying for France to continue his campaign at Aero squadrons, it is possible now.
Download WOFF UE Pilot Log Editor 0.8.3 .
Instructions included in attached pdf file.
Enjoy!

.

YES! This will be a game changer, in particular for those of us who start as a Yank with the Lafayette Escadrille and want to move to one of Uncle Sam's squadrons. Thank you Jara for yet another update to an already super mod.

.

Nicely done, Jara! A real boost to the American careers in WOFF.

Jara, would this development make it possible to edit the medal system in WOFF? For example, the RNAS and RFC should have different medal rules, and some of the RFC rules should be corrected (for example, different medal eligibility for NCOs and officers). If this is possible and if I can be of any assistance to you in researching the medal eligibility, please let me know.

Jara,

This is super! Thank you very much for this addition to the pilot log editor.

Somewhat off topic but still important: May I raise a point of order? As far as I am aware, Jara has not yet been given the honour of being inducted into the Barmy OFFers club. I cannot think of anyone more deserving of this honour than Jara, considering how much he has added to everyone's' enjoyment of WOFF through his marvelous software tools (and pleasant online persona).

Lou, would you be so kind as to correct this oversight? Surely everyone has had time by now to have recovered from the latest induction ceremony!

Jara;

Here is a link to my Dropbox where I have an updated ReadMe file for your Pilot Log Editor:

Click to download

Triple J, that's awesome! Now we can have Germans def ... defecate ... defect! Defect, that's the word!
I'm with Raine, if something can be done about how the medals are awarded that would be nice. I just had a pilot awarded Military Cross after his 2nd career mission.

He seems like the type who'd bring his own cricket bat, probably a better one than the old one.

Thx for kudos, gents.

We can not modify the medal system - that is hard coded inside of WOFF. However, what we can is to edit/delete/modify awards received. This idea looks quite interesting to me. If you are interested, Raine, we can discuss about that via PM.

Sorry, Fullofit, defection is prohibited (I have disabled this possibility in LogEditor code). But defecation... that is individual and another story .

Thank you, Robert

@BuckeyeBob
Thank you for nomination to BOC, however, I am not sure if I fulfill its criteria. My Czech barminess would be OK, but my English is great barrier to be (actively) barmy here .

Jara, I can assure you that your English would not be a problem at all, and might even add a bit to your Barmyness! As inebriated as this group tends to be, no one would even notice if you lapsed into speaking Czech every now and then. You could even teach them a couple of Czech drinking songs!

Finally, if you are afraid that you might not be Barmy enough, just quote any of a number of lines from Monty Python or Black Adder, and no one will notice any difference!

Jara, would it be too hard to add the possibility to view the medals awarded to each pilot?

Let me check it, pls. I hope not too big deal.

Pilot Log Editor 0.8.4 .
On ArisFusers request I have added pilot medals overview. To show medal name and date of award just hover the mouse above medal picture.
EDIT: Version 0.8.4 was bugged. Download version 0.8.5 instead.

Thanks a lot Jara!

Edited: for some reason I cannot open the.jar executable now, it doesn´t return an error message it just stays unresponsive.

Thank you for this update Triple-J!

I experience the same problem at my home gaming computer, but on my programming computer it works like a sharm. Let me check it and I hope to release hotfix ASAP.

WOFF UE Pilot Log Editor 0.8.5, download link here
Fixed bug in WOFF UE Path routine in version 0.8.4. I apologize for problems.

Thanks Jara!

Updated Readme file to version 0.8.5 by Robert Wiggins available here
Thx Robert.

Jara, I have noticed something strange in the Log Editor. I was updating some of the biographical information for some aces and in the Encyclopedia it shows but in the Log it doesn´t, even after closing it and opening again. It happens on different pilots, but not always....

Good catch Aris!! Only you would have caught that.

Thx for info, Aris. Be sure, I will look into it. Unfortunatelly, not earlier than the next week.

Aris, can you check, pls, your BritainAces.txt file as follows?

There are missing links to txt files.

After modifying xxKill.txt, xx.txt (bio) or xx.bmp, this is what I have got. I have to do it every time I modify a bio, a victory list, or a bitmap, otherwise the Encyclopedia won´t show the info. There are hundreds of pilots in the database with "missing" txt files, but the Encyclopedia or the Log editor simply overrides them , as it always happens with the xx.Craft.txt.

This is even stranger,





.....but:

Thx for testing, Aris. I will have to improve aces loading method in PilotLogEditor. It is definitely bug in the code.

Jara

Don't be too concerned. We know you will fix it. It's amazing what you have done for the WOFF experience with all your fine applets.
Many thanks again.

@ArisFuser
Check your PMs, pls.

Thanks to ArisFuser for debugging and testing I can provide you with the latest version of Pilot Log Editor 0.8.6.
Download available here..
Enjoy!

That´s a work well done.

Version 0.8.9 of Pilot Log Editor available here
Revision changes:
1) Implemented Medal mod by Robert Wiggins bringing bars to British and palms to French medals. Thx Robert for his idea, mod and close cooperation;
2) Created Pilot Log Editor exe file so you can now easily create a shortcut on your desktop;
Enjoy!

Thanks a lot Jara (and Robert) but I can´t get to access the link provided by Drive due to some Google Services Conditions infringement...?¿

Aris

Later today I will have both the mod and the Java applications packaged up and sent to BuckeyeBob for inclusion on his mods server.
You can get it there.

I am pleased that you are thinking of me, Robert, but I think you mean Sandbagger's webpage.

Congratulations to both of you on the medal mod to the pilot log editor. This is a very nice addition. Now if only one of my pilots would last long enough to earn some of that bling!

Oops, I stand corrected...AGAIN!
It serves me right for not waiting until I have had my morning cup of Java.

Alternate download source of Pilot Log Editor v 0.8.9 here .
I hope this time it will be OK.

Link working, thanks. Opened the editor but I now get some strange data on Allied pilot medals:

Aris, look at the ReadMe file that came with the latest version. It states you need to run the Medals Mod as active in JSGME in order for the Pilot Log to work properly.
Sandbagger doesn't have the mod up yet, but I can make it available here for now.

click to download

Oops, sorry, It´s working flawlessly now...

Thanks for the update. Good Old Windows deleted the file after the download, claiming it contained a virus. I'm too tired to fight with it. I'll wait for Sandbagger to post it. Cheers!

Hi all,
JJJ65's Java version 0.8.9 and Rob's associated Medals mod are both uploaded to the Users Mod page.

Note:
Rob's mod is not Java, so is on the Tools/Utilities page.
JJJ65's mod is on the Java page.

I'm trying to reconstruct missions lost due to a series of computer problems forcing me to reinstall the game. When I recreate the lost missions it puts them in that order, no matter what the dates or the mission numbers on the left. Is it possible to change the order of the missions so they show up in the order I originally flew them?

PilotLogEditor loads data from WOFF's pilot Log files in the same order (sort by date). I do not understand your problem. What pilot's data do you use to restore your logbooks?

I keep my own log separately. When I had this PC problem happen I used the data I had written in my own log to recreate each pilot. Of course the recreated pilot in WOFF has no career listed. Whereas a pilot may have 140 hours behind him, the new WOFF log only shows the 4 or so hours I've flown since starting him over. I can recreate the mission, start it and then exit, and then add the details using the Log Editor, but it places it after the missions I'm flying now. The older recreated missions show up after the recently-flown missions.

If I got you well, then you must to sort pilot records by date in yout PiloLog file first:

AHA!
I didn't realize that just having the correct dates wasn't enough, that I had to physically move the lines to the proper order. That did the trick! The others are right - you are a genius!

Thank you so much.

You are welcome, Steve. I am glad I could help.
