New Feature: User Paging

Hey guys!

I've just added a new feature to Chronos, which is the ability to "page" your users!

Basically, admins can now select a user from the connected user list on their overview and click the "Page User" button. This will then cause the user to be notified that their attention is required. This is useful for calling in raiders who are sitting out, etc.

Client users can set up what sound to use for their page in their Basic Settings. This box works the same way as setting up text to speech / sounds in timers and triggers. Simply type something you want it to say upon receiving a page, or look for a WAV file to play instead.

Users that have received a page will get a flashing notification at the bottom of Chronos and their chosen sound effect will play once every 3 seconds. They can stop their "page alarm" by clicking the "End Page" button in the bottom right of the program. Of course, you can only see this button if you are currently being paged.

Admins that send a page to a user will receive an automatic notification in their log box that the user has successfully been paged. This message is a definite confirmation receipt, so there's no "I didn't get it!" excuses! The admin will also receive a notification in their log box when a user ends their page alarm in their client. This is useful for knowing when someone has seen the notification and have responded to it. There's a new option in the Basic Settings of the admin version that will allow you to turn on or off an audible speech notification that a particular user has turned off their page alarm.

Have fun!

Larks.
