Some way of notification
 
Hey all!

Can any1 help me and propose some way of notification on event, excluding sound effects? When i'm at work and am using a repop trigger, I need ZMud to tell me that repop occured. At home I use sounds, but at work I can't. Is there any other way? A popup window, blinking in the taskbar?

Any idea would help!

Thanks ahead!

#trigger {repop msg} {#MESS JUST REPOPED!}

I just use #ECHO myself... but then if you're not watching the screen and activity makes it scroll enough that goes beyond view quickly.

So yeah, Progoni's solution has it for you. Though depending on how long you have between repop checks, you may want to use the other format of #MESSAGE, with the time argument. That way you can set it to only show for a time :o)
