Thank you. That is great. I will have a try and hope it will work well. :lol:

Unfortunately it worked for nobody I asked but me and nobody wanted to send me any log file for tests, so I didn't publish it. It should be pasted and run in the folder with .eml files (I download them using Thunderbird). It doesn't show anything (no GUI/console), so it might look like nothing happens. Creates "logs" directory. Maybe it would work for somebody :P It's Java program so should be OS independent. My turn reports are of type "text" in Cantr settings, maybe that's why it worked for nobody else.

I'm not going to fix it and I'm glad to see better program for archiving logs. :)


I tried this last night and it seems to work fine for splitting the characters from an EML file that was sent as text. I only have one of them that way, so I assume that is why it just worked on one of them.

64bit java version

I finally got a Java version working, but only a 64bit version. I'll upload a 32bit one when I figure out how to make it.

This is tested on Windows only, as both the Mac and Linux install I have have 32bit java.

It reminded me why I don't use the language much, despite having used it a lot more than C#. It took me four times as long to get the GUI working properly in Java as it did for me to write the entire program in C#, including experimental designs, etc. Oddly, aside from the GUI code, a copy and paste of the rest of the code was about 80% functional, and only required minimal changes to get it to work. /OffTopic

Navi, have you considered working for the Cantr programming department?

Yes, but I have almost no knowledge of programming for the web. I could probably pick it up quickly though. My knowledge of PHP (which is what the game is written in, as far as I know) consists of what I remember from two short lectures in university about four years ago.

My PHP knowledge was near zero, but I managed to learn it very quickly. You know how to create good code, so I think it's very good idea :)

I will test it tommorow and inform you of the results.

I don't know if anyone is still using this but I could use some help. Somehow I keep getting errors if I try to open some of the files I saved. Right now I have managed to save 100 days of turn reports. If I try to add anything to that it gives an error, if I try to save as a new file it gives an error. Am I making some obvious mistake?

Got this same problem, though I didn't research it as good as Freiana :wink:

The error is the following (in Dutch):

Er is een onverwerkte uitzondering opgetreden in de toepassing. Als u op Doorgaan klikt, wordt deze fout genegeerd en gaat de toepassing verder. Als u op Afsluiten klikt, wordt de toepassing onmiddelijk afgesloten.

Er is al een item met dezelfde sleutel toegevoegd.


Freely translated to English:

An unprocessed exemption happened in the application. If you click on 'continue', this error is ignored, and the application continues. If you click on 'close', the application is closed immediately.

An item with this key is already added.


When I click 'next' then, the program stays opened, but the document with the reports doesn't open. When I try to open it again, I get the same error.

The correct English version of the error:

Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately.

Length cannot be less than zero.
Parameter name: length.

Cantr Turn Report Tool v1.1

I think the problem is fixed in this version. Let me know if you continue to have any trouble with it (or find any new problems).

From my own turn reports, one of the radio messages caused some formatting problems in the save. I've changed the save format slightly to hopefully have less trouble in the future.

:) Great! I'm glad that worked. Finding the problem otherwise would have been difficult.

I had forgotten about this. Thanks for the bump. I compiled the turn reports for my second oldest character, and the document is 3211 pages long!
