Okay, this is yet another application i've started work on. It will definately help everyone who plays Renegade online. The main purpose is to give audio warnings to the player when the elapsed game time meets certain conditions.

The screenshot above is a basic idea of the user interface you will see. You can be sure that it will be modified in the final release.
The application uses very much the same concept as the DialupApp Application i created recently, the only difference will be that you'll manually enter the time remaining yourself. However, you can do this in one of two easy ways (see below).
You can choose one of the presets ranging from 1 minute to 50 minutes, by pressing Shift and the corresponding function key (F12). Alternatively, you can enter the value in yourself, from WITHIN renegade or ANY other window. You simply enter the specific time remaining (25:37) whilst holding down the shift key. Once you're happy with your timer setting, press Shift+Enter and the process will begin! You may make a correction to the time by pressing Shift+Backspace. You can also halt the timer by pressing Shift+Delete.
All audio clips are samples from the Renegade EVA, so you'll feel right at home. You will witness the audio warnings at these intervals (45 mins, 40 mins, 35 mins, 30 mins, 25 mins, 20 mins, 15 mins, 10 to 1 mins and 30 seconds).
Once again, i'm going to need some pre-release testers before this is released. So if you'd like to help, PM me here with your contact e-mail address or chat with me in the #n00bstories IRC channel.
Thanks.
