Script is pausing during DClone announcment

[mitharas]

Hi,

first off: I love the script. So this is an idea, not a complaint.

Imagine the following scenario:
I am logged in on EU and chilling. Suddenly, the script tells me that DClone is getting into a new stage on Asia. For the record: The Asian Server seems to spawn him rather fast, going from 2 to 6 in minutes.
So I hear the message and decide I want to farm DClone with my 3 accounts in the launcher. I quit the game and want to log in as fast as possible. But then, to my dismay, I have to wait for the voice message to finish until I can use the launcher to launch. So in an optimal world, the voice would play and I can login immediately while it's playing.

I COULD alter $voice.rate, but I feel like fumbling around in your script is bad taste and not a long term solution.

Best regards,
mitha

Hey mate, thanks for the post.
This is something that mildly annoyed me too and was something I aimed at improving at some point in the future so maybe I'll take another look at it as sometimes those extra few seconds count.

Please note that even with this feature, it only polls every 30 seconds to check for changes.
Even if it was realtime, for scheduled DClone walks where they sell the SOJ's within 60-90 seconds, by the time you hear the notification it would be too late to try and login.

Most of the Asia walks are planned, almost daily, between 6-8 am EST, check out the D2R Clone Hunters discord. So to be safe, park your account(s) on Asia and smack Dclone when you wake up.

I have finally figured this out. It will be in the next release.

nice, thanks. Out of pure curiosity I will look up your solution :)

Feel free to not only have a look but test it out:

Runspaces, good idea. Do you need to dispose them as well? Anyway, looking forward to next season. You are doing an amazing job.

Thanks :)

I opted not to dispose of them in fear of cutting off half of a voice alarm.
That said I've not actually checked to see that they're closing themselves properly so probably something I should test hehe
