Dommunion (a program to play a notification sound at every new turn)

[Argitoth]

Cool, I'll make everyone uses it when I'm running a server.

I might try vocoding my voice for alternate sounds if anyone just happens to want it.

hehe Argitoth, that's an idea I was playing with while creating the program, but in the end decided that the vast majority would prefer a generic sound to hearing my voice

Hmm i think i don't need such a program to notify me when the others made their moves. I need something that puts a message on the others computers, something like "Stop reading through all the items descriptions and make your move now you slow *** sob"

I'll second that. Actually, a little lightbar indicating who has finished their turn in a live TCP Dom2 game would be pretty neat: Lets you keep track of whether you're doing your turns fairly quickly, or whether the game is being determined by how long it takes YOU to take your turn.

Oh btw, has anyone (cracked)/(successfully analyzed)/(have inside knowledge of) the .TRN or .2H file formats yet?

I have some interesting ideas and features to add to the Dommunion program, but I'll need access to the game data for that...

Gandalf? Anyone?

Norfleet, you've just given me an idea for the next feature to add to Dommunion

That, and some kind of "statistics" screen which shows you the shortest/longest/average times each player has taken to play their turns in the current game.

Hmm and maybe some kind of synchronization with an Online database which will keep track of each registered player's "playing style" a la competitive ladders? So you could look at a searchable, sortable list on a website and tell at a glance who the slowest/fast players are? And their nation preferences, number of battles, victories/defeats and such?

...

Nah, that's too far-fetched

It's up on my site now, here, per request by Max.
