Coding Notification sounds

[Max ♠]

Hi...

I made a little client side script which plays a sound when you receive notifications on the forums,

// ==UserScript==
// @name Cubecraft Alerts
// @namespace Landviz' script
// @grant none
// @match https://*.cubecraft.net/*
// ==/UserScript==

var refreshTimer = 30;
var notification = new Audio('http://landviz.nl/host/plucky.mp3');
var newAlerts = Number(document.querySelector('#VisitorExtraMenu_AlertsCounter span.Total').innerHTML);
var newConv = Number(document.querySelector('#VisitorExtraMenu_ConversationsCounter span.Total').innerHTML);
var notified;

if(sessionStorage.getItem('alerts') !== null) {
    if( newAlerts > sessionStorage.getItem('alerts') || newConv > sessionStorage.getItem('conv')) {
        notification.play();
    }
}

sessionStorage.setItem('alerts', newAlerts);
sessionStorage.setItem('conv', newConv);

setInterval(function() {
    if(!document.hasFocus()) {
        location.reload();
    }
}, refreshTimer*1000);

How to install
Chrome - Click
Firefox - Click
Opera - Click

As of right now there's no version of ViolentMonkey for Microsoft Edge, there might be a different addon similair to ViolentMonkey, haven't looked for alternatives myself.

The script refreshes your page every 30 seconds unless the tab is focussed, you can change this easily by editing "var refreshTime = 30;", the sound can also be changed by editing the url @ "var notification = new Audio('http://landviz.nl/host/plucky.mp3');" (Keep in mind that some browsers might not support other file formats)

For whoever knows how to use Greasy Fork:

Install link doesnt have the correct link for the sound file, if you don't know how to edit it, just use the videos to install instead

You're my hero.
Edit: I do want to customize my sound. Can I do that?
Double edit: Already found my way how to do it.

Wow
That is actually really cool
I probably won't use it myself but seriously amazing

 

[Gainfullterror]

I'll definitely be using this.
Also: How does one upload an mp3 file to a site like what you did? I've attempted it but it didn't seem to be working.
(I'm also making this post so I can get a notification if someone responds to the thread)

You can host ANY file type here

(It's also possible to use a local file, change the url to C:\whatever\whatever\coolsound.mp3)

How about this? ;]

Cleaned up the code a bit, added support for conversations. Installment is the same, just edit the existing file instead of creating a new one if you're already using the old script & want to update

 

[Ghoste]

I am going to be using this for now on.
Good job ^-^

How did you do it?

Uhh.. I can't really install safari on a windows machine to try... (a version from the past 3 years at least)

With a browser which supposedly mimics Safari I couldnt find an add-on for userscripts, couldnt find a video on how to use userscripts with Safari either. Try looking for "userscripts" in the add-ons, pretty much any add-on which allows says "Customize web browsing with custom scripts" or something along those lines would probably work. Installing the script shouldnt be much different.

I like it

Would be cool if you could do this for Discord, nonetheless this is pretty cool, Ill edit the script for ait to fit a different minecraft forum.

 

[Troublesomee]

Cool! Will definitely use this, thanks!

 

[Maaarijn]

Awesome! Im gonna install it when Im gome! Thanks for doing this! Can you use this on smartphone as well?

 

[DrHam]

Just Awesome.

Would be cool if you could do this for Discord

Discord already have notifications (with and without sound) (Desktop version)

 

[MagnificentSpam]

If you upload the script to https://greasyfork.org/en, you get an install button like this and users can get a notification when the script is updated.

This is amazing! :P I'm definitely going to use this, well done man!
