In my efforts to try find a Java tracker to run on my netbook (which can't run EXEs, whoo), I came across this.

http://ct.engramstudio.com/tracker.pl

I haven't had enouh time to figure out how to use it, and it looks pretty basic.

I'm wondering if anybody has found a more full-featured Java-written alternative to the big tracker software available.

Wait is it not powerful enough to run them or is the operating system not capable of running .exes? I'm assuming it's not powerful enough, but if that's not the case there's always Milkytracker or Renoise for Linux.

Actually im fairly sure the laptop in question is a government issued laptop for highschoolers here.
Software comes pre-packaged and nothing else can be installed. Whenever you connect to the internet it phones home and if changes are found, it can be bricked remotely.

I think the best solution for chainsaw police is to find a web based tracker and save the page to make it available offline.

Huh, well then I guess something web based is the only solution. Je Mappelle recommended skale tracker on 8bc.

Not entirely. I unscrewed the bottom and fiddled with all sorts of shit.
That was a few weeks ago, and nobody has pulled me up about anything wink

Also, you're right, it is a DET-issued laptop I'm trying to run it on. +1 for observation!

So yeah, until I buy another laptop harddrive to wedge into this thing, I'll be using Skale. It looks fully featured and pretty usable in comparison to Craptracker tongue

I was hoping for some sorta executable JAR file to run it with, though. It runs extremely horribly in IE8 (don't blame me, blame the awesome Australian government!).

Perhaps I can contact the creator of Skale to compile a JAR version...?

Oh yeah, Sonant looks pretty sweet. However the generation time thingo is pretty god damn annoying.


Thanks a heap guys - I now have someone to blame when I flunk my School Certificate exam!
