Online Character Notifier

Post by Llama »

I've built a simple tool for notifying me when certain players log in.

It is a very quickly written program, so don't expect it to do magic or something. It runs using .NET so you'd need to be using windows.

I'm releasing it under GPL version 3(http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html), and is not an official Illarion program and has nothing to do with the illarion development team.

You can get it here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/4907462/IllarionOnline.exe
Sourcecode : https://dl.dropbox.com/u/4907462/IllarionOnline.zip

Old Post:

Is this available in RSS format or similar?

The reason I'm asking is that I feel like writing a simple utility which notifies me when a particular person/particular people log onto the game - since illarion has become much more cooperative now.

Failing that, can I have permission to scrape the page (I won't make many requests, just 1 every minute or something).

[This is my own personal idea and has nothing to do with the illarion development team]

Yes I could.

But I thought I'd ask permission before I scrape a website. Maybe websites don't like you doing it.

There you go.

If you use this one its better for everyone. You can much more easily get your information and the amount of data transfered is lower.
