NuGardt ESL Wire Plugin Match Reminder v1.0.0.0

Author: Kevin 'OomJan' Gardthausen Last Update: 2012-01-18

The match reminder is a plugin for ESL Wire (http://www.esl.eu/wire).

This plugin lets your manage reminders for your upcoming matches. Never forget a match while you are actually sitting at your PC and forgetting the time while watching streams for instance.

Notifications can be shown in game (through ESL Wire when supported), via a balloon popup on the taskbar and voice announcement (Text-To-Speech).

Set multiple notifications before the scheduled start of match, set different options for each notification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Question: Under settings some of my rows are coloured red and orange. What does that mean?
• Answer: An orange coloured row means that the row before overlaps in notification duration. Red row means that one or more notification of the same type occurs at the same time.

• Question: The balloon popup does not show for the length of the duration I have set in the plugin. Am I doing something wrong?
• Answer: The duration of the balloon popup is controlled by the operating system. There is nothing I can do about that. Try settings notification right after each other for a prolonged notification exposure.

• Question: I want to add more functionality to the plugin. Can I do it myself?
• Answer: Yes. The plugin is open source. Check the Open Source section of this document for details.
