Warframe Alerts Informer

[SonicSonedit]

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.

 

Languages supported:

English

Русский

Espanol

Taiwan

French

German

Portuguese (BR)

 

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.

6) If "Play sound" is checked, program will play "Music123.wav" when alert is detected. If "Flash on taskbar" is checked, program will restore itself from tray and blink on taskbar. if "Show alert info notification" is checked, program will show balloon-popup info about alert (see screenshots above).

I'm getting these error codes constantly in the error file from mine each time as the program starts up, its either this:

 

8/30/2014 12:40:21 PM An error occured while requesting Data from WORLD INFO ; Error code: -1

 

Or one like this:

 

8/30/2014 12:39:53 PM An error occured while requesting Data from WORLD INFO ; Error code: 500

 

Each day for the last few days its been loading as a blank window where the alerts would be listed every time. I hardly keep it open much now since its not showing anything for alerts at all.

[DarkVeghetta]

Bug #07:

This one's come up 2-3 times since this version came out so it's pretty rare.

Basically, every once in a blue moon the position of the main display window goes haywire and it disappears right off your screen. It still exists, but you won't be able to see it on-screen. This also makes alert alarms stop within a second or two, since WAI thinks you already have it on your display.

The setting window is unaffected by this btw - good thing too, since it showed me the program still worked, just not the main display.

 

I don't yet understand what triggers this, but the bug makes Config.ini swap the position parameters of the main WAI window from whatever you left it as to: "FormLeft=-32000" & "FormTop=-32000", which isn't displayable. It's easy to fix it once you know what the problem is - just close WAI and edit Config.ini to something akin to "FormLeft=59" & "FormTop=54".

Look a bit back in the pages and you'll find I posted this and it's basically a server issue. Also, I did mention the solution is to restart WAI if it fails to load the data correctly. Seems to me it just isn't re-requesting the data or something gets in the way. Could also be your internet not being available when WAI checks, and it doesn't try so again for some reason.

In any case, should WAI fail to display any info, just restart it after a few seconds.

There you go.

I've tried that before too, on multiple occasions and still nothing. Connection's working just fine when the program starts up so its not that.

Thanks for this awesome tool! I was missing the old alert gadget, now I have this to keep me updated +1 ^^

This tool hasn't worked for a month or so now. You'll miss every single alert that pops up if you rely on this.

[CedarDpg]

Yeah, I've stopped loading the program because it loads and doesn't really do anything anymore. I've gone back to the Twitter page with a reload plugin for my browser, which sucks, because when this program was working, it was pretty cool.

Hey, thanks a lot, this app is really useful!

 

However, there's a lot of room to improve in UI. 

I am a software engineer, do u mind if I pull the source and do some tweaks, then send changeset to you to review and merge?

 

PM me your repo address if it's OK with you.

This program is still working best for me so I decided to update the database a little.

 

* Fixed 'STRING NOT FOUND' on all existing alt helmet alerts

* Added Arcane Helmets category just in case

* Added Mutalist Alad V Coord and Kubrow Egg

* Added expanded Mercury and Archwing nodes

 

Extract and replace files in Warframe Alert Informer v1.6 folder

I'm still using it as well and thank you for fixing those issues, the worst of the old bugs are/where the missing nodes - forcing us to close WAI until the alert was done. I'm looking forward to stress testing these fixes in the weeks to come. ^_^

 

Thanks again and take care,

DarkVeghetta

[ntyd1s]

Here is a fix for the fix! xD (since at least there is one more person still using it)

Sorry about the bugs. There was no active alert to test it at the time.

 

*Also added Rare Fusion Core

A proper update (hopefully). Extract and replace files in original Warframe Alert Informer v1.6 program folder.

 

* Fixed folder structure from last package. Sorry for the inconvenience :p

* Added more Dual Stat Mods

* Added Fusion Cores to Resources category

* Added Void Keys category

* Added Stances category (Cleaving Whirlwind has 2 different entries ._.?)

* Added internal labels for various uncategorized mods (unreleased Focus mods included)
