Warframe Alerts Informer

SonicSonedit · July 28, 2013

Warframe Alerts Informer is a standalone tool (application) for Windows XP/7/8. It will scan for alerts and inform you about new alerts which you want to know about. It's very easy to set up - for example, if you only want to be informed about Orokin Catalyst Blueprint and Orokin Reactor Blueprint alerts, just add "orokin" keyword to filter list!

This program:

Will inform you about alerts you want to know - flexible filter settings.
Easy to use and setup - Unzip & start!
Has nice and user-friendly interface, but can also quietly run in tray.
Well optimized, this tool will not use more than necessary of your CPU or RAM. Much less than a browser tab with plugins.

Current version 1.6.1:

First of all, a big thanks to NTYD1S for updating filters, nodes and lang strings.

- Fixed a bug with popup windows not going away after you click it

- Now WAI only writes error to log file if same error happened at least 15 minutes ago

- Fixed a bug when settings window will go into background after executing "Open file" dialog on Windows7 and later

- Scrapped windows API sound functions, using custom function to set music volume, now it affects .wav files just fine (affected mp3, ogg and others formats but not wav before)

- Increased volume range

- Fixed popup window not updating it's picture for the first second of notification

- Fixed a lot of bugs related to Test Alert, also you are now prompted about saving the config before launching test alert

- Added new option for when game is already running:

-- Reduce notification time: default 3 seconds, This affects BOTH sound and popup window! If set to 0 then WAI will not notify anything at all while game is running

-- Do not show notification popup window: default off, this basically means "sound only" while game is running.

-- Reduce notification sound volume: default 25%, if enabled, this volume will override any event notification sound volume setting while game is running. Setting volume to 0% makes it "popup window only" while gaming is running.

- Added button to open Warframe alerts twitter "Twitter | (@WarframeAlerts)" to both alert list popup menu and tray popup menu

- Added "Close to tray" option: default off, minimizes app instead of closing it

- Program settings window is now blocked while saving settings to avoid confusion

- Program settings title is now translated

-- Translation:

- Added Portuguese (BR) translation by Kitessencial

- Added 5 new strings which need translation in first post, under "Stings which need translation" section, wrapped in spoiler tag.
