Aion Alert 2.9
NOTE: As of 2.9 I cannot get my version to crash. If yours is crashing I am happy to look at it, but I need very specific input, ie, what you did right before the crash, the details of the crash report, and any testing you did to isolate it, and if you can make it happen every time.
NEW: You should be able to reply to an alert with a command to Aion Alert with text messages now, so long as your company's subject line is "RE: Aion Alert" or "Re: Aion Alert". You can test this by going to your email account, sending yourself a txt message, and then replying to it from your cell phone and then looking at the details to see what the subject line is. Note that AA also strips everything after the first line (ie after you hit enter) so that only your command is processed.
NEW: AA responds to a message body command of "status" to send you a status report in the following format:
Status Report at 11/2/2009 6:52:56 PM:
Kills: 1
Exp Gained: 31701
Kinah Earned: 424
Deaths: 0
Last Entry of Note: 11/2/2009 6:52:29 PM
(That last one is the last time AA noted something occuring in your log that it tracks, useful to see if your bot is still doing things).
NEW: Aion Alert can now shutdown your bot and Aion via email command.
NEW: Aion Alert will now, if you choose, monitor an email address for commands. Please read below for a full understanding of the syntax required. I have tested this with NoFap running in a circle and the /t playername message command went through fine. Note that currently it just has support for sending commands to Aion and that at the moment, Aion must be the foreground window for it to go through. I hope to be able to work around this soon.
FEATURES:
* Aion Alert will monitor your Aion log and alert you for the following conditions, as selected:
- If you receive a whisper
- If your inventory is full, note: Will only send one time till you press stop and start again to avoid spam emails.
- If you die
- If you receive mail
- If you level up.
- One user specified alert string
* The program will play a sound file you designate for the duration you specify.
* If selected, it will send an email with the nature of the alert You can send to your cell phone with most providers, i.e. to send a page to at&t cells its [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...], or for Verizon its [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
* The program will also monitor an email address for input. Currently supports sending a command to Aion, shutting down Aion, and shutting down your Bot. It will check for new emails every 15 seconds.
- Subject line must be "ai" (without the quote marks)
- Body of message must start with "ac" to send commands to aion
- Body of message must be "acquit" to shutdown aion
- Body of message must be "botquit" to shutdown your bot
- Body of message must be "status" to get a status report.
EX: ac /t Shadowraith This is a test whisper.
To use:
- Copy the system.ovr file to your main Aion directory. This is a txt file, feel free to read it. It enables logging in Aion. Start Aion. If you do not see a chat log appear in your Aion directory, something is wrong and AionAlert will not work.
- If you modify the search strings, they must match exactly something that occurs in your chat log, whatever language.
- Define the user alert if desired.
- Start Aion Alert. Fill out the path information if different for you.
- Fill out the SMTP email information if you wish to receive emails from Aion Alert and click the SMTP checkbox.
- Fill out the POP email information if you wish for Aion Alert to receive emails from you and click the POP checkbox.
- Click start.
- When you click start it will save all information.
- You then have 3 seconds to make Aion the active window so Aion Alert can identify it.
- Click Link Bot and then click on your bots window within 2 seconds to make Aion Alert aware of your bot.
If you wish for Aion Alert to scan your POP email, it must be set up to allow for it. I will only discuss GMail because anyone can get an account, but others should work.
1. Log into Gmail
2. Click on Settings
3. Click on Forwarding and POP/IMAP
4. Click on Enable POP for mail that arrives from now on (I had to do this because it would only pull 437 emails and all of mine were from 2006, if you click this it fixes that issue)
5. Recommend you choos to "keep Gmail's copy in the inbox" but that is up to you.
Now you can be alerted to a whisper and reply back all from your cell phone while watching TV. Get your life back from Aion's grind.
2.1 - Updated 10/30/09
Now uses directx audiovideoplayer meaning you can play mp3's. The Duration has changed to seconds from miliseconds. If duration is 0, no sound will play, if duration is < sound file length, then it will play 1 time. No looping, sorry.
2.2 - Updated 10/31/09
Rolled back sound to simple support. DirectX was causing too many people to crash, maybe visit again in the future. For now, use c:\Windows\Media\chimes.wav or another simple wav file you verify works. This means the duration is in MS again. If duration is 0, no sound will play.
2.3 - Updated 11/1/09
- Changed subject line to "ai" for easier use from cellphones.
- changed command line for aioncommand to "ac" for easier use from cellphones

2.6 - Updated 11/2
