Re: calling all (batch file, script, VB, VC) programmers
OK new Brain-Fart
I dont know if you were following the thread where the guy wanted the game
to let him know (stop reading a book, stop watching TV) when his turn was
ready on his multiplayer Dom2 games.
So I had a simple thought.....
Watch c:\program files\dominions2\myGame
files change = BEEP
continue watching
Huh? Huh? A batch or exe or something that you start and then you start dominions to play your game. Improvements could be....
1) ask the name of the game to watch, the path
2) play a wav
3) possibly something visual also. Hmm wonder if a call can pop the Dom window back to full from the bar.
4) play a wav or mp3 of the players choosing. I especially like this because there are great places on the net that you can get a wav created saying anything you want in any voice you want. There are some sexy voices and some really rude robot ones that I can use to make a wav to tell me that my turn is ready. And it would be very.. ummm... "different" than any that could come packaged in a general distribution. *evil grin*
