Timer Application - Guild Wars Forums

Icy The Mage · Dec 23, 2008, 04:49 AM // 04:49

I know there are timer applications that will beep or play an audio sound every ___ minutes, and repeat, beeping at said interval.

These applications wouldn't be against the rules in any way, would they? I'd assume not, as it's not doing anything at all to the game, but I plan on using it as a reminder to drink more alcohol every minute. However, I'd like further clarification to make sure I wouldn't get banned from using it.

Also; does anyone know where to get one?

Go to a dollar store, buy a 3 minute egg timer. That's what I did.

Sadly, I live in a town of 900 people, where the only shop within a 30 minute drive from my house is a beer store. Yeah...

Still looking for a program :\

As far as being banned goes - it wouldn't make any difference whether you used an egg-timer or a software timer.
I don't believe that using an external timer (hardware or software) is against the EULA.

...but u can record a wav file...exactly 1:00 long
(3second beep followed by 57seconds of silence)
and jus use any media player set on "repeat"

Thing is, I'm listening to an online Guild Wars radio-station via. Windows Media Player, and I wouldn't be able to run the beep.wav file at the same time, right?

1. It is not against the EULA because it does not interact with the game itself in any way.

The first link that says "here" is the one you probably want. As it says, you can set it to either 1 min or 3 min intervals. Enjoy!

3. What is this Guild Wars Radio Station you speak of and where can I get it?

The link is broken, it shouldn't have the ... 's in them, there should be something in between D:

The site is:
http://www.bladeradio.com/

Just click on the little icons on the right side of the webpage, you can stream it through your mediaplayer or w/e you want.

Try the other link, or make sure you got your volume stuff on, all I can say is it works for me.
