NEW VERSION 2017 for ezQuake 3.x !!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Download: ezQuake-Notifier v3.1 (for ezQuake 3.x)
(source code included)

(Changelog: Version 3.1: Fixes for ezQuake 3.x)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello quakers! I'm AL.Kernell, quaker for more than 16 years...

I made an app that reads ezQuake messages and display them at System Tray (Baloon Tip or Chat Window)
It works monitoring ezQuake when it's minimized at System Taskbar. When it flashes, the magic happens!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*** IMPORTANT:
This application only works when ezQuake is writing "qconsole.log" (at "Quake\qw\" folder)
To make it work, you have to run ezquake with the command-line option: "-condebug"

for example:
Just create a ".txt" file, with notepad, with this text:

@start ezquake-gl.exe -condebug

then, save it at your ezQuake folder, with extension .BAT, like this: "run_ezquake.bat"
then, always run you ezQuake through this file!

What's the deal with the dll's? Facebook.dll? Gmail?

It's just Icon Libraries that I use to animate buttons, it's simply icons!
(you can open them with "GConvert" or "Microangelo Librarian" (from "Microangelo Toolset" ))
If you wanna take a look, I think the Microangelo trial version should work:
http://dl.filekicker.com/send/file/177785-ALVX/mt610-71-eval.exe (from http://www.microangelo.us/)

but if you really wanna know what's the deal with the whole code, take a look at the source code! I recommend to install "SciTE4AutoHotkey" to read the codes (.ahk), this app will highlight all the syntax of an AutoHotkey script, making it easier to understand.

(The main script is: "ezQuake-Notifier.ahk" )

thanks man, gonna try this when I have find time the next time... busy days now, I'm guessing on saturday.

OK, first OFFICIAL VERSION is OUT!
(just updated the links at the first post... NOW IT'S ALMOST PERFECT!)

NEW FEATURE:
(Advanced Chat Window), send some-text+enter to ezQuake window...

The only problem is that you need to let the Console open, for this to work!

Cool stuff. This is definitely something that should be implemented in the client itself.

Also, could you maybe provide some screenshots of how it all looks in action?

Thanks JohnNy_cz! I really appreciate what you've been doing to qw community, developing ezQuake! it's really an honor to see that you liked the idea...

All this features, it's a little "Too-Much" maybe (like some friends said here), but I really don't like to activate ezQuake only to awnser a question, it takes a little long, and disarranges all desktop icons, (changing the resolution)... So for me it has been useful.

It would be very nice to see it in implemented in the client! (maybe the Baloon Tip already Enabled by default)

here's the code that reads qconsole.log:
http://pastebin.com/uhbHutF5

(note that with Advanced Chat Window I used another code, that rolls back 5250 characters instead of only 250 (Windows Baloon Tip character limit is 265))
so the code used is:
http://pastebin.com/M4gHmCE9

and the code to "Send" the awnser/message, is:
http://pastebin.com/WXxpW0UM
(As I have mentioned, it only works if you let the Console opened when you minimize ezQuake...)

Spirit, I think I was upgrading the version...
Now I uploaded also to this website you provided, thanks!

New version: 1.52, just some bugs I have found and now fixed!
(please report any bugs if you find)

There's one bug I didn't find the reason, but it was happening only a few times, and only with the Notification Type: "Chat Window", I tried to fix it though, but haven't tested much yet...
The bug is:
- Sometimes when I was reading/writing through the Chat Window, and came back to ezQuake, when I came back to Windows again, a Taskbar Button (of the Chat Window) was dead at my Taskbar,
and since the Chat Window was previously closed before I went to ezquake, this taskbar button wasn't working.. I had to open the Chat Window and close it to make the button disappear...

If you guys see it happen with this new 1.52 version please let me know, couse I didn't tested yet! (I think it's fixed though)

(please report any others bugs if you find)

If anybody could help me with a problem I found...
the DeQuake.exe tool (that I renamed to char_converter.exe inside my app's \BIN\ folder) is not working well, some weird, non common characters are stopping all the rest of the conversion...
I think this tool is bugged..
if anybody could help me convert the characters I would appreciate!

(If I could just get a list of all ezQuake complex characters)
Great All Mighty JohnNy_cz, can you help me?
thanks

(Edited 2012-07-24, 01:52)

hey, anybody? I would appreciate if someone tell me where I can get a "List" of all the quake character's, everybody who made this tools like: Name Maker must have it!
JohnNy_cz, can u give me?

Quake charset is stored somewhere in one of the pak files, look for a file containing charset in the name.

This might help you -> http://www.quaketerminus.com/hosted/oqnm_4_20/oqnm_4_20.htm

OH I thought there were A LOT MORE characters... but now I see, there's just the Color codes...
it's gonna be easy!
thanks!

I GOT IT! YEAHHH!

mihawk, swiNg, THANKS for you help!

NO MORE DeQuake.exe (char_converter.exe) external tool is used! (probably much faster now)

here is my Character Conversion code:
http://pastebin.com/7ZGThFu2

NOW IT'S PERFECT!

I fixed all the bugs I have found, please everybody download this new version, it's 100% now!
