Let me know when someone says my name or calls a tow

[[CSR] Wouter]

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!

Regards, Wouter

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.

Tingle, thank you very much for your answer!

I will try it in a couple of days.
