Eve Chat Notifier

EVE Online players often leave the game running in the background when doing something that doesn’t require continuous input. Of course, this can lead to you missing important chat messages, which is not ideal.

Eve Chat Notifier is an open-source application designed to alert you whenever your pilot name is mentioned in any channel. It does this via tray area notifications, and it can be customized in several ways.

Essentially, the application monitors EVE Online chat logs and looks for any mention of your complete pilot name. When this happens, it triggers a Windows notification, which will appear in the lower-right corner of your screen.

The program can also play a sound alert when displaying the notification, and you can use a different audio file if you aren’t happy with the default one, as well as change the alert volume.

Eve Chat Notifier does not interact with the game in any way, and no API keys or anything of the sort is required. The application only reads the chat logs, so it shouldn’t cause any issues with the game. As an added bonus, it is very easy to set up.

From the program’s settings, you can choose which types of notifications should be triggered, fine-tune the volume and use keywords to specify which channels should be monitored. The notification message itself can be customized by altering the font size.

Overall, Eve Chat Notifier does its job very well, alerting you whenever your pilot name has been mentioned in chat via a tray area notification. It is very easy to set up, as it simply reads the game’s log files, and it offers quite a few customization options.
