That depends on the consistency of the twitter bot, I haven't paid much attention to how it tweets.

Really there's no reason to check continuously since we know EQ's are always announced 15 before the hour and start on the hour.

If the twitter bot gets it within a few minutes of accuracy you could have the extension check for an EQ the first time it's loaded up then sent an on-timer that's equal to the amount of time that you would expect the next twitter announcement (15 minutes from the hour).

From there loop for every 3-5 minutes until you are out of the "announcement period" since you can't trust that bot to be timely, then go back to setting that long ontimer... etc.


From what I read about how the twitter bot works it definitely does not give me confidence of it's "accuracy". I thought they were actually using the game to get the information, but it turns out they base it off of the player tweets (unreliable).


On a side note, I did finish the OCR part of the market system and I could probably make it read the announcements with reliable accuracy down to about < 3 seconds for ship 2. I haven't tried i yet though. This won't be available for a while until I finish setting it up the rest of the parts and connect it to a web server. Probably will be json.

A suggestion: A button (or even new plugin?) to take the nicovideo page you're on and send you to mmcafe.

Example:

You go here: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm20254023

Plugin notices you're on a nicovideo video page, lights up

Clicking the button sends you here: http://www.mmcafe.com/nico.html#http...tch/sm20254023

Some people might find this particularly handy.

Yeah, basically i was thinking

if(minute < 30){
checkForEQ();
if(EQ){
//setRedIcon();
}else{
//sleep until 45 min
}
}else if(minute >= 30 && minute < 45){
//sleep until 45 min
}else{
checkForEQ();
if(EQ){
//setOrangeIcon();
}else{
//check again in two minutes
}
}

And having the tweet in json data directly would be pretty great. Would save me the trouble of having to parse the month, date, time and EQ type from teh context of the tweet.

On an unrelated side note, is there a way to make the icon more... noticeable? I find that it's not very attention grabbing if you aren't checking it often.

That's what Klypto was suggesting with desktop notifications. I guess that's an option. Alternatively if someone wanted to make a new icon for the toolbar to make the EQ status more noticeable than the small area of color around the rappy, that would be perfectly acceptable too.

[Link1275]

Would a sound or pop-up(like having the menu that pops up when you click on it come up) notification be a viable option?

Perfect. I think the boss is the most identifiable part, but I'm not exactly sure how the announcement system works anymore. Does each EQ have it's own particular announcement now?

Right now looking at the pso2_emg_bot there's:
desert, dark falz, white day, city and 局所地域 (forest/caves areas). I guess I only need an icon for each of these categories.
