OGAL - OGame Alarm
OGAL is a OGame alarm tool which can send SMS messages when you are under attack.
It's damn usefull, but unfortunately only to polish UNI6 users. The author stopped developing the tool some time ago so there's little chance for the tool to support other languages and universes. I've e-mailed the author to see if he plans on adding new features, when and if I receive a reply it will be updated here.
(old download link removed)
I don't think a tool like this is hard to make, but then again I know almost nothing about programming. If some of you folks have the skills and some time to spare, this might be a nice idea for your next project.
Update:
After talking to the author, it has come to my attention that this tool is still under development, although not on Sourceforge, but on this polish Ogame forum.
You can download the latest version of OGAL and read more about it in this topic (most of you, including me won't understand much due to polish language). You also need to download a patch for OGAL in order for it to work.
The author claims it works for all world universes now, although I am unable to confirm that since my account on .org is only a few hours old :). I'll take his word for it.
It seems there are various options included in this version, including a feature that can launch external applications, for sending SMS messages or e-mails.
All in all, the tool looks awesome, although there is room for improvement.
I'm not sure if it can be traced or not, perhaps the author wishes to post a comment here to clarify that. Perhaps it should 'check' your account in random, customizable intervals, say every 2-5 minutes - I can't find that information.
The only thing I can't forgive is the lack of english translation and documentation. Hopefully that will be added soon.
Many thanks to Bojer, OGAL author, who was very helpful with this.
Hi, there!
ReplyDeleteProgram is like a browser, so there is very low chance to detect it is a bot.
Program can work on any universe any language, but you have to make some configuation stuff. Remind me in few days and i'lll give you english translations of configuration guide.
For now:
* all config files are in data/ directory
* first of all you have to change entry in ml.dat file.
Language=pl to Language=org
and add your universe host to list in file uni.list.dat
Some more info - later :)
Thanks, I'm looking forward to it, and I'm sure many players will find it useful
ReplyDeleteWell I for one could not get this to work. I did everything Michal said to do,
ReplyDelete* all config files are in data/ directory
* first of all you have to change entry in ml.dat file.
Language=pl to Language=org
and add your universe host to list in file uni.list.dat
I added my server, uniX.ogame.org (I assume that is it, where X is the server #), but still get the two error beeps.
I guess all I have to say is GLOTRB!
If you play on ogame.org universe 1 for example, you should enter ogame281.de as server.
ReplyDeletePerhaps that's the issue
Hello.. i did like michal said. i changed language to ba (Balkan), and added my universe (uni9.ogame.ba) , and when i enter password and username i can login, but when i click on SMS test, no SMS is coming.. where to enter number of my phone?

ReplyDeleteI think it only supports sending SMS messages on polish GSM networks (I think, but don't know really).
ReplyDeleteIf your cell network supports forwarding e-mail messages to your cell phone you could do it that way - 'tell' to program to send emails and then just forward it to your mobile phone.
"If you play on ogame.org universe 1 for example, you should enter ogame281.de as server. "
ReplyDeleteAlright, but I'm not sure what relation ogame281.de has to playing on universe 1 in .org. Regardless, I tried changing it to ogame285.de (so as to work in universe 5), still did not work.
Assuming you use this in your .org server, what do you have it set up as? I'd like to know exactly what I should put in so that it will work on Universe 5 in .org
