MoniTron v1.0-beta
MoniTron v1.0-beta
Hi all,
I programmed an Armagetron Monitor. There you can see fastly who is online. MoniTron is in the tray. So you don't lose space on your desktop. You can add easily server and player favourites. When you choose a server or player you can connect directly to this server. But you need Armagetron 0.3.0. In MoniTron.ini you can set all the features.
But this is just the beta-Version. I will add few more features.
You need "Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 11" to use MoniTron.

I didn't test MoniTron on Linux but I think, that Java will support it. This JRE is available for Linux, too. So.. try it

It's just that it uses the system tray under Windows. In Linux, that sort of interface is a bit more varied depending, but usually there's something called the notification area. Are you using any 3rd party library which would handle that transparently, or have you hooked into the tray yourself? (Or is there something built into Java for it now?)
This tray function is new in Java and that is the reason, why the transparent icons make trouble (more). But I found a solution for it. I saved the icon image as 8-Bit-PNG. In Paint.NET you can set by saving the Dithering-Level and transparently strength there. In Java "trayIcon.setImageAutoSize(false)" has to be false! Other way it works wrong.
This is the Linux version

I use this library.

Very nice and useful app, thanks a lot!
heh, what kind of expression does the favourite stuff match?
can we use RegExp or something like that?
A little problem occured: when going on favourite -> <server> -> <player>, it opens as many aa windows as the number of players on the server...
10 windows of aa tried to join wild fort

@K-Yo
You can set the favourite list in the MoniTron.ini
DS G5 got the same problem. I ll fix it. You get the update then on DS-Clan-Page.
Do you use MAC, too?
btw: MAC user need Java JRE 1.6.0_07

No, i'm on windows vista
I'll watch your clan home page closely
I know how to set up the ini file.
but I wanted to know if we could match some regexp (or anything else, for example, pearl has PCRE) for the se and the pl
it's easy to match all the DSers, no one has ~|DS|~ in the middle of its name, but for CTers, it's not that easy, I see everyone that has "ct" in its name
that's why I wondered about the expression

@ K-Yo
For CT-Players it is difficult. CT has to decide for one expression.
For your servers is this filtering easy
se:Crazy Tronners
I would say, you ve to talk with ct-players and discuss about
pl:$CT$ <= take this as your clan-tag
or add every player name
pl:K-Yo
atm is an other solution not possible.
btw: on DS-Page is a new MoniTron-Version

MAC OS X is supported, too.sol wrote:What about Mac OS X?
You need JRE 1.6.0_07
(JRE 1.6.0_11 is not available for MAC atm)
DS G5 use MoniTron on MAC OS 10.5.6

A "getting started" guide for Mac OS X would be nice...
How exactly to start - from console (javaws?) or directly within finder?
Do I have to change some Java security settings? Other preferences?
Do I have to put the files to some specific place?
In MoniTron.ini do I have to set path to Armagetron.app or directly to the binary inside *.app?

Here do you get the current JRE version for Mac OS X.
Probably you should start MoniTron.jar with a double click. I don't know, because i never used Mac OS X! Usually it should works without problems, because G5 has't complications to getting started.
That is how G5 sets the path to the game.
li:/Volumes/Program files/Games/Armagetron Advanced/Armagetron Advanced.app/Contents/MacOS/Armagetron Advanced
You don't need a specific place for MoniTron!
Try it and give me a reply please, whether it works.
