[TOOL] News Watcher

06/04/2012 13:53 Vacak1#1
UPDATE: The program now can send you email warnings as well.
So, you can be notified when a DO event starts wherever you are.

It can send you email warnings to any email address. But to send emails the program needs a valid gmail account - of course you can always create a new one for this purpose.

The download link and Virus Total at the end of the post is updated.

------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the first program I am making public here so please be patient if I am doing something wrong. I try to add the download link, screenshot and virus total - if anything is wrong or missing please let me know.

If you don't trust me you better wait until a more trusted user confirms this safe.

News Watcher
============

It's annoying when you miss a Mega Happy Hour or any specific event of your server. This simple tool may help you.
While running in the background this program warns you when a specific event starts in Dark Orbit.
It needs a valid DarkOrbit account to work!

Happy Hour is just one example, you can use this tool for any kind of event
Upgrading bonus Hour

...etc.

How it works?
_____________
This is a very-very-very simple tool. It is running in the background logs in to your account every hour than logs out. The program is searching for a specific string (text) in the html source code of the main page - for example search for the text 'Two for the price of one' to get warned of Happy Hour. This text can be anything given by you on your own language. When the text is found (so the event started) a window pops up to warn you. You get an audible warning as well or be alerted by email.

How to install?
---------------
Move the downloaded exe file into a directory of your choice and start it. That's all.

How to use it?
--------------
1. After starting the program you get a setup window. Here you can input your login info. Don't forget to check if it works - push the check login info button. You'll see how the automatic login procedure works.
2. Add five different texts (events) you want to watch. The program remembers all of the setting so you don't need to retype them every time you start it. There are checkboxes prior to each search line, while a line is unhecked the news wather is not looking for it.
3. To start watching Dark Orbit just click on the START button. The program minimizes itself to the tray and runs in the background.
4. To exit the progam right click on its tray icon and select exit.

How safe it is?
---------------
The program logs in as you do, types username and password, pushes the login button and selects the server as you would do it manually... but it's doing it in an invisible browser window. There are no pockets, not TCP sending... no risk. This is completely safe.

Yes, that's it. I am playing on my local server it's not english.
For me it's not useful but if you can tell me the title of the most interesting events in english I can put it in the first post and it may help others to use the tool.

You don't need to use it but the program will do :)
While the watcher is running it is automating IE but doing it in the background in invisible mode.
I made it visible during the check login so everyone can see how it works.
