Hello there,

When I was harvesting, I did someting else with my PC.

When I returned to EL I got 10 peaces of the thing I was harvesting, because I was stung by a bee or sth.

 

Because of this I have written a small script, wich plays a soundfile when I stop harvesting.

It controls the "chat_log.txt" and when the string "You stopped harvesting" appears, it plays a Soundfile.

THERE IS NO AUTOMATION!

 

I asked molime, an he says it would be legal.

 

Here is the script:

#!/bin/sh

#	Description:
#		This handy tool will tell you when you stop harvesting, so you can do someting useful while harvesting.
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#	Info:
#		This tool will split up your chat_log.txt an save the older parts with date and time.
#		While working it will use the files el_notifyer_temp_1.tmp and el_notifyer_temp_2.tmp

#Configuraton:
logfile="/home/htho/.elc/chat_log.txt" #Normaly the Logfiles in your home directory and then in the directory
logpath="/home/htho/.elc/"


#Harvesting
search_harvest="You stopped harvesting" #The String that appears when you stop harvesting
sound_harvest="niesen.wav" # The Played Sound
text_harvest='..::YOU STOPPED HARVESTING::..' #The string that appears in the shell

#PMs
search_PM="PM from"
sound_PM="hallo.wav"
text_PM="_.-=< YOU GOT A PERSONAL MESSAGE >=-._"

# Have Fun!
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

textnotify () 	{	
		echo "$1"
		}

soundnotify () 	{	
		playsound $1
		}


echo "Eternal Lands Notifyer v0.9"


#cp $logfile $logpath"chat_log_$(date +%X-%d.%m.%y).txt"

#tail $logpath"chat_log_$(date +%X-%d.%m.%y).txt" > $logfile


temp_harvest_old=$(grep -c "$search_harvest" $logfile)
temp_PM_old=$(grep -c "$search_PM" $logfile)

i=0
while [ $i != 1 ]; do
temp_harvest_new=$(grep -c "$search_harvest" $logfile)
if [ $temp_harvest_new -ne $temp_harvest_old ]; then
	soundnotify $sound_harvest;
	textnotify "$text_harvest";
	temp_harvest_old=$temp_harvest_new;
fi;

temp_PM_new=$(grep -c "$search_PM" $logfile)
if [ $temp_PM_new -ne $temp_PM_old ]; then
	soundnotify $sound_PM;
	textnotify "$text_PM";
	temp_PM_old=$temp_PM_new;
fi;
sleep 2
done;

 

As you can see, it doesnt only play a sound when you stop harvesting, it plays too when you gat a PM.

 

Well here is the link. You will have set the values for $logfile and $logpath fitting to your system

What do you (the other programmers) say to this tool, is it legal or not. What could be done better?

There are many versions of scripts like this. In my opinion, it would be better to implement such a feature as part of EL's sound system. You might want to wonder over to this thread and discuss it there.

On a quick glance, you're doing a "grep -c" on your chat log every 2 seconds. I don't know how big your chat log is, but mine is many million lines, and you need to read them all every two seconds just to know if there was a harvesting stop or not.

 

A smarter approach would be to tail the file, and then act on each new line you receive. Would save lots of IO. :)

 

 

Edit: typo

I agree. My version of this script does a "tail -f" on the log file (also playing sounds for harvest stops and PMs).

Oh, I forgot to kill the "#" Ill update the file and load it up again:

#cp $logfile $logpath"chat_log_$(date +%X-%d.%m.%y).txt"

#tail $logpath"chat_log_$(date +%X-%d.%m.%y).txt" > $logfile

for windows, I use this:

Or everyone could use the new sound system which can play user defined sounds when the client sees user defined text in chat: The sound_warnings.txt should be placed in the same directory as your el.ini file and other personal files. Here's the content of mine:

# This file is configuring sounds based on text displayed in the console
#
# Format for this file:
# Sound = Text to match
#
# The default sounds available are:
# alert1, alert2, alert3, alert4
#
alert1 = You stopped harvesting.
Drop Item = PM from

You'll need to restart the client after editing this file. We should all thank Torg :)

I know this is older than Noah's hammer but I just rewrote this to use Ubuntu Jaunty's new notification system:

Hi,

really nice script, thank you.

 

I would like to suggest you a package called "libnotify-bin" that has a binary "notify-send" that allows you to send notifications from the console.

Just in case you don't know it.

I am aware of that package, I rewrote the script yesterday to use that but found the popup window too restrictive.

 

As the new notification system is standard in 9.04 I coded for that.

You'll need to restart the client after editing this file. We should all thank Torg :P

 

This works great. Only problem is that the sounds are client type, and the warning I set to sound_warnings play with all other misc client sounds enabled. Is there a way to make is so that the alert sounds play as their own type?

Game options does have text warning sounds volume for user defined warnings, so I'm prolly missing something here :S

Yes, there's a bug with the xml files, the alert sounds seem to have the wrong sound type. Just open snds_client.xml (in the sounds folder) and find the part

 

<sound name = "alert1">
		 <variant>
			 <main_sound>sound/inventory02.ogg</main_sound>
		 </variant>
		 <distance>35</distance>
		 <priority>3</priority>
		 <type>client</type>
	 </sound>

and change the

<type>client</type>

to

<type>warnings</type>

for all the 4 alert sounds.

 

That was enough to fix it for me, hope it helps :P
