TroopMaster Tips

Can't use in read-only mode, must restart app after database download

When the application downloads its database it loses focus (mouse and keyboard don't do anything). If you try to use TroopMaster in read-only mode, you are out of luck, since it always downloads the database and loses focus permanently.

If you want to use it in read-write mode, you need to do the following

  1. Start TroopMaster
  2. Click on "NO" when it asks "Would you like to open the database in read-only mode?"
  3. Wait until the database is loaded and opened. At this point your mouse and keyboard do not work in TroopMaster.
  4. In the Crossover menu bar click on "Configure", then "Manage Bottles..."
  5. Select the bottle for TroopMaster and click "Quit Bottle."
  6. When the bottle status returns to "Ready" restart TroopMaster.
  7. Click on "YES" when it asks "Would you like to continue using the current files located on your computer"

you can then use TroopMaster normally.
