Let me know when someone says my name or calls a tow - Wouter - 2016-04-25 13:03 Hello, I want to play Euro Truck Simulator 2 and LFS at the same time and i want to know when someone says my name in the chat and when someone calls a tow. My chat is logged into the file msg.txt. Can someone help me? It doesn't matter how: it may be a sound that plays, a message on my screen, a scroll-lock button which goes on, etc. Now i have my LFS sound also on when LFS is inactive to hear when someone calls a tow, but i also hear all the other sounds now. I know the basics of programming languages and i have Visual Studio 2015, but i don't know how to code it. Thanks in advance!

RE: Let me know when someone says my name or calls a tow - Tingle - 2016-04-25 15:59 Well if your chat is being logged to a text document, you could just set up a timer to read the text document every couple of seconds and then using basic if statements, check if it contains any new instances of a certain string (ie, "is calling a tow"). Why don't you just use InSim.NET? It'll be 100x more efficient and easier to achieve what you're trying to do.
