D2-dclone-notificator

This simple python script calls data from diablo2.io diablo clone progression tracker for all regions (non-ladder, softcore), displays the progression in real time (updated every 90 seconds), and raises an alarm (text and a beep) when the progression gets sufficiently high (4 or higher) on any of the regions. It also features a primitive anti-trolling system.

The python script should work on Windows, OSX, or Linux. A batch file is provided for Windows.

Please note that: 1) this is a first draft, 2) that I have not been able to test this thoroughly, and 3) that I am not an expert programmer. May contain bugs!

How do I use it? (hard difficulty; browse lower for medium)

You simply run the script on a command line and leave it open. Close it by closing the window. Or use the batch file.

You may need to install requests module.

I don't know how any of this works! (mediocre difficulty; browse lower for easy)

If you are unfamiliar with github, just go to the main repository page (https://github.com/Kalle-Koskinen/D2-dclone-notificator), click the green "Code" -button, and select download the ZIP file. The ZIP file contains the script d2dclone_notifier.py. MAKE SURE you put the batch (.bat) file d2dclone_notifier.bat to the same directory as the script! Create a shortcut if u need to launch from elsewhere.

If you are unfamiliar with running python scripts, easy instructions can be found for installing python here (https://codeigo.com/python/installing-python).

Then you will need to install the requests -module before running the script. This can be done after installing python by:

Open a command prompt
type pip install requests

You can now run the script by clicking on the batch file (d2dclone_notifier.bat) or its shortcut. Or you can run the script from the command line as instructed here (https://codeigo.com/python/run-python-script-on-windows).

Don't be scared, it should only take a few minutes!

What?! (easy difficulty)

It is impossible to learn a language by speaking when you don't know even the basic words. No worries, here is the easiest way to install: https://github.com/Kalle-Koskinen/D2-dclone-notificator/tree/Kalle-Koskinen-Ez-Inst

I want to use this for ladder/hardcore

At this point you would have to slightly edit the code to do that. You can do that by opening the script in a text editor, and in the beginning of the script, changing league (softcore/hardcore) and ladder (ladder/non-ladder) parameters. For league, "1" is hardcore and "2" is softcore (quotation marks included). For ladder, "1" is ladder and "2" is non-ladder (quotation marks included).
