Allows you to create custom alerts for that can alert you with a sound, system tray alert or both. Set the Alert count number to the number of alerts you want. To test the alerts, change the Test alert from "No" to "Yes".

 

Requirements:

 

Installation:

- Extract AdminAlerts.cs into your plugins directory.

- Extract the Media folder into your Procon directory

 

Plugin Description:

AdminAlerts allows you to create amd customize as many alerts as you need.

 

Code:

~Config
=======================================
[Number of Alerts]    The number of alerts you would like to configure.
                
            Increasing this number adds alerts to the bottom of the list, decreasing it removes alerts from the bottom of the list.  Removed alerts do not retain their configs.

+Alert #
=======================================
 [1.1 Name]    A friendly name for you to quickly and easily tell which alert has fired.
 [1.2 Enabled]    Allows you to turn on and off individual alerts without having to remove the alert or disable the plugin.
 [1.3 Keywords]    An array of words, one per line, to watch and alert for.
 [1.4 Enable Audio alerts]    Enables a sound to be played when this alert fires.
 [1.4a     Audio File]    The name of the audio file in WAV format. Place audio files in the Media directory. Default is chimes.wav.
 [1.4b     Repeat Count]    The number of times the audio file will repeat before stopping. Default is 1.
 [1.5 Enable system tray alerts]    Enables system tray notification for this alert.
 [1.6 Test alert]    Setting this to Yes will play the audio file if enabled and show the system tray test meassage if enabled.

Notes:
=======================================
-- This plugin will examine each line of chat against each alert configured.  
-- Only plays .wav files in PCM format.
-- Only one sound will play at a time.  If a new alert comes in as an alert is playing, the new alert will play and the old will stop

This version also allows you to set a virtually unlimited amount of alerts per server (only tested up to 5, but too many will probably impact performance, needs to be tested). An alert consists of the name of it, for the system tray notification, if it's enabled (so you can toggle it on and off if you decided you don't need or want it at any given time), a series of keywords or buzz words, the abilty to turn on and off the audio alert and define the sound used and how many times it plays, the ability to turn on and off the system tray alert and the ability to test how the alert sounds and looks without having to jump in the game and trigger it or wait for a player to trigger it.

 

Say you want to page an admin, set an alert for that and look for things like "admin" "report" "page", etc. This plugin doesn't match words, it looks for the series of characters in each word found in the line of chat, so typing !admin, @admin and admin are all the same thing. I went this way since often someone might just type "is there an admin on_" or something along those lines and it could be missed.

 

You can also define a custom sound for each alert. Some alerts might not be as high a priority to you, say a player is cursing (some servers aren't fond of that), if you're deep in the game and you hear the curse alert go off, you'll know what it is and decide to act on it or ignore it without having to alt-tab out or look to a different monitor to see which alert fired. Along that same line you may want to instantly know when someone is accusing someone else of an aimbot and you can configure a sound for that.

 

The next version of this will display the caught words not only in the plugin console, but also in the chat console if you so desire (configurable). I'm also toying with having alerts send a say or yell in-game to the admin running the plugin on their procon.

btw, what is the PCM format of a wav file? :?

 

Is there an option to play the default Window's beep sound?

I appreciate your efforts and then some, they have made our server one of the top servers and the admin pager has made my life easier.

Just a note, it also catches the spam bot messages. I had one of my code guys make a quick change to ignore rotating messages with keywords though.

I won't speak for the author of the plugin, but I would appreciate it if you at least PM'ed the author the new code or posted it here. It helps a lot when the best (most functional) version is out there. We're all in this together!

The below code will ignore any loopbacked messages.

	if (String.Compare(strSpeaker, "Server", true) != 0) {
		// Message was not sent back by the BFBC2 server.
	}

My worry is that you might miss the sound or popup when you're away from the computer e.g. the toilet. Can someone code in another alert where it highlights/focuses procon in the taskbar? Just like when you recieve a new message in an IM client. Thanks

I haven't noticed this happening, but I'll see if I can track it down.

 

As far as the spam bot alerts go, good call and I had actually thought to ignore any messages sent by the server but it slipped my mind. Feel free to post up either the code block change/addition and I'll incorporate it into the plugin.

where would i put those in the file to make them work? i tried a bit lastnight but then it wouldn't even notify me when someone said one of the keywords at all

i've modified the first line of global chat to be

cllckcllck, my code there is only a rough doodle.. It doesn't work, just a concept..

 

You'll have to look to Lorax to see if he want's to add this functionality to the plugin.

No it has to run locally

it only gets played on the server which runs the layer server.

 

Well, i would say it is not possible, as Zaeed wrote on 2. July that plugin is not designed to have a working

sound info over the PLC. You have to run it locally.

 

Zaeed schrieb am 2. Juli was dazu.

Das Plugin ist eher dazu gedacht local zu laufen als über den PRoCon Layer Server.

Grundsätzlich mag das zwar gehen, aber die Sound Benachrichtigung wird nicht übertragen.

Dies hier ist ein Englisches Forum, es wäre sehr nett wenn du deine Beiträge wenigstens versuchst in Englisch zu schreiben oder dir dabei helfen lässt es zu tun. Das bringt dir viel schneller hilfe. ;-)

 

For the rest of the world:

 

I told him that his question is already answered and it is not possible for the Plugin to work over LayerServer. It might in the future, but currently it's not. Also that this is a english speaking forum and it would be nice if he could at least try to write in english or get help to do so.
