Par s3ven, samedi 3 novembre 2007 à 23:41 :: Freewares
OFPWatch is a wonderfull program made for the video game Operation Flashpoint that allow you to join a server as soon as the current mission ends (some game modes preventing your for joining a game in progress).
Currently a sound alarm can be set up to inform you that a game is available but there are times when you would want to be alerted quietly and anywhere!

OFP Alert reads the status of the current selected server in OFPWatch and allow you to set an alert that'll make your phone ring a specified amount of time as soon as a the current mission is finished!
For the program to work the option 'Do not close OFPW ...' should be enabled in the OFPWatch Config:

How to use OFP Alert?
You need
- OFPWatch running. You can download it here.
- Skype running and allowing OFP Alert to control it. You can download it here.
- Any SkypeOut credits amount. Normally no credits should be used because the purpose of the program is only to make your phone ring. It is obvious that if your gsm is turned off or if you put a too much ringing duration the call could end up on the answermachine!
How does it work?
The first time you launch OFP Alert you will be prompted to enter your gsm phone number in the preferences window. In this window you will have the possibility to set for how many seconds the program will make your phone ring before hanging up, if you want to start the program with windows, etc... If you got a Skype alert, you'll have to authorize the program to access Skype.
Rm:A little amount for the duration could end in the call not beeing received and a too large amount could make the alert looking like a regular call or the call ending on the answermachine.
The program will monitor the same server as in OFPWatch. If a game is in progress you will be abble to enable the alert.
Rm: If you have enabled the Silent mode, a Skype Alert could appear as soon as the alert is activated. Just click OK.
