Ffxiah Shout Notification

I was wondering if there was any way to set up a notification system for keywords from the shout screen. Something that would notify of things like voidwatch shout , mission , and people requesting crafter among others. Either have it display in chat through guildwork or some other easily monitored way without having to constantly check the shout page. Make it so can set filters to only notify of certain things to keep from getting spammed by it.

Spellcast doesn't monitor your chat log. It only watches outgoing commands.

I believe what Heimdall is looking for would be an extension of say, the AH sales feature (I believe GW will alert you somehow if you sell something on the AH). You tell GW to watch for "Botulous-Rex" and whenever that phrase pops up in a Jeuno shout, he'll get an echo "KinZoku just shouted: Church of Botulous-Rex, now recruiting!"

Adding a filter to guildworks shout code wouldn't be terribly hard, but that's something the people who develop the plugin would need to do. While it'd be possible to write an app to directly monitor the xiah page, it's significantly more work to do it in that manner and may be unwanted for bandwidth reasons provided enough people use it(unlikely, but still something that you should always check before making an application that interacts with a website you support).

Ya I kind of figured it be impractical to monitor the shout page itself. But there has be a way to do it, just the fact that ffah is able display the shouts as they come in lends toward it being possible. Maybe even just a onscreen pop up in the corner that just displays the key words like synergy , voidwatch, nm name, missions, and so on so people then know to come to ffah to check the shouts themselves.

Oh I guess it would also need a time delay so it doesn't keep displaying the same shout every couple second from say someone build a voidwatch party.

FFAH displays it by having a character monitor it or making a composite from guildwork plugins, not sure which.

You cannot monitor it yourself unless you actually have a character there, so you're talking about interfacing with their stuff, which is up to them.

It wouldn't be terribly hard to add a way to filter shouts through guildwork premium though, so it's possible they'll see your suggestion and add it.

If I remember right they specifically said they didn't collect data by having a in game character but some other unspecified means.

Currently, the only windower plugin that can monitor the in-game chat log and react with a given command once certain text is found is Autoexec. You had the right idea and a lot of people get the capabilities of Spellcast and Autoexec confused anyway.

You're being talked about.
