Skype has a very complete API, this is very possible

It opens Windows Media Player and has it plays whichever file you specify. You could change the script to run vlc or another program if you wanted.

Theoretically, you could have it run a program to send an e-mail/text to your phone. Not sure about actually calling your phone though.

How does it work? Playing a sound or calling your cellphone or what ?

Something like this would be nice to have implemented into FAF

Galactic War Notification Script

2014-01-07T00:52:46+02:00

Those of you who play Galactic War know that sitting there waiting for a battle can be tedious. If you leave your PC for a bit though, you may miss the start of a fight and lose by default. To help with this problem, I created the following batch script.

Instructions

Copy and paste the code below into a new text file.
Change C:\Users\ProfileName\Music\PathToSomeMediaFile.mp3 to a valid sound/video file that you want to play when FA starts.
Save the text file as GalacticWarNotification.bat
Run (double click) on the batch file that you just saved.
Attack a planet
Wait...

NOTE: You must restart the script after each time it notifies you.

Code:: @ECHO OFF ECHO FAF Galactic War Notification Script v1.0 ECHO by Duck_42 ECHO ----------------------------------------- ECHO Waiting for Forged Aliance to start... ECHO Press Ctrl-C to quit :mainloop tasklist /FI "IMAGENAME eq ForgedAlliance.exe" 2>NUL | find /I /N "ForgedAlliance.exe">NUL if "%ERRORLEVEL%"=="0" GOTO PlayAlert timeout /T 1 /NOBREAK > NUL goto mainloop :PlayAlert ECHO Forged Aliance has started! ECHO Triggering notification... ECHO ----------------------------------------- start "C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe" "C:\Users\ProfileName\Music\PathToSomeMediaFile.mp3" ECHO Script finished! pause

As always, please post any questions or comments on this thread so I'll be sure to see them.
