Alarm system v1.0 for The Settlers Online

Alarm system information

While I am aware that this tool might be useful for some users, please note it is not affiliated with Blue Byte and you should use different login details than your TSO account just to be on the safe side. - BB_Ravel

The alarm system allows you to manage the notifications and alerts of your island, centered all them in a common place, with sounds and tab blinking. To receive notifications of this system you need to be loged and keep the alert address open

The first that you need to do is Login in our webpage (Or create a new user). This is needed to identify you in the future, alarms run even if you turn off your browser or computer. In the future will allow you to receive certain alarms (selected by you) in your mobile. After you need to click "Alarms" in the main menu and select the "Alarms" submenu (anyways after login you go now to alert system to default too)

When you get into the alarm system you will see several tabs (maybe you can see more tabs in future versions). Lets see the current tabs.

Usages

1. Generic alarms that you can set to any date/hour
   
2. You can set an alarm that will notify you when your gold mine 6, granite pit, etc will go under the limit and it would be destroyed.

Alarms notification
IMPORTANT: To receive the notifications you need to keep the alarm system opened in a tab in your browser

There are 3 ways to notify us the alarms events. The first is a sound (if we have configured the alarm with sound). The second is a tab in the browser that will change each half second with the alarms completed.

The last way is under the time server. A log will appear with the alarms completed.

My alarms
In this tab you can see all the enabled alarms as you can see below.

There are several action icons. Moving the cursor over the icons you can see for what are they used.

Creating a new alarm/Edit alarm
This tab is the most important. It is a common tab for creating and editing alarms. It allows to create alarms with a name, a description, an alarm date and a sound to play.

The power of this system is the fast way to introduce the information. For this you have calculators. Lets see some of them.
Mine calculator
You chose the mine type, the level, the current stock, the distance to the storage and it will tell the total time and will allow us to create an alarm.

Buff calculator
It will tell us after chosing a Buff when it will end, creating an alarm to notify us.

Storage empty calculator
It creates an alarm to tell us when the storage will be empty (or just under a certain ammount) for a item based in our production and our current stock.

Storage full calculator
It creates an alarm to tell us when the storage will hit the max (or just over a certain ammount) for a item based in our production, our storage limit and our current stock.

Old Alarms
This tab shows all the alarms finished already.

There is a button that allows us to reuse an alarm finished by cloning it into a new one (It will use the diff time between when was it created and when was it finished).

Configuration
This tab will allow us to configure the alarm system. For now you only have an option to configure the timezone, but new options will come soon..

Sounds great and I took a look. But a generic alarm doesn't work. I've tried both entering time as how long, and clock time that I want it to go off - and it does nothing. Could be really good if it worked (the help doesn't explain many of the fields and their usages). Pretty poorly implemented from what I can see...

Hi Xibor, what browser are you using? it is working for me and some friends checked it too. I have just added a generic alarm form testing and it is working... maybe you didnt create the alarm?

Best regards
