I think there should be an option for a "beep" sound when a new page comes in. Make it toggle though, cause sum people dun like that.

I know it makes a system beep in the linux version since my linux machine started beeping at random times and it took me awhile to figure out that it was from the pages :P.

Doesnt do it on windows, the only thing we get is the flashing pager button, which isnt all that noticeable.

It would be cool if we had a proc that made DS beep. Although it would have to be able to be toggled. Id love it in chatters if it beeped while the window was minimized.

I created a simple proc to do that, not sure if it works when it's minimized....

It does. BYOND still processes in the background.

If you would tell me your email, I would gladly send you the proc to use in your own games, or I'm not quite sure if it would be usefull enough to be a library....It still has some testing to go through, but untill I get internet on my computer, (I don't know what else to do...I got it to work last time I formatted...), I can't download BYOND...

Just post the proc here and we'll rip it apart, put it back together, and if it works we'll probably stash it away in a dark corner.

Will do, as soon as I get my comp. back on the internet, and I can get my files off my server. (Thank god for backups! O, wait, it against my religion to thank god...) I'll see if I can duplicate it offthe top of my head.

proc
     beep()
          src << sound('beep.wav',0,0,8)

mob
     Login()
          beep()


I guess this doen't work for the page, but it tells you when someone logs in and I'm sure you could adapt it to do some other nice things...I use a variation for private messages.
