This is a plugin for the Advanced Combat Tracker by EQAditu. It provides both ingame and out-of-game parses and spell timer notification. It also allows the parser to share parse with other users of Volte (the client) by channel/password. Here are the details:
First of all, special thanks to Shakkra of Mistmoore for the artwork. And a thank you goes to Kairen, Deskye, Elaot, and Sahila for testing.
A demonstration video is found here. The timers are in the top-center of the video.
A Volte Primer for broadcasters and listeners has been created in the Wiki here:
Volte Primer
The ACT plugin can be found here:
ACT plugin v1.0.5.1 (broadcasters)
ACT BETA plugin v1.0.6.1 (broadcasters)
This plugin is for people who want to give callouts and parses.
And the client here:
Volte Client Setup (listeners)
This is for people who want to receive callouts and parses. Click the easy (Volte) button to start it. You ALWAYS have to click it to start it. It's a temporary precaution in between versions to notify the user of any breaking changes.
To use, just connect to the same channel (or channels) that the ACT plugin is connected to. For instance, Maokomeeb has ACT running on a channel called Volte with a password Volte. The client users can receive the information by adding that channel and password to their channel list on the client.
Be sure you have the latest DirectX redistributables (February 2010) and Microsoft.NET 3.5 SP1:

One tester who had Windows Update automatically updating her machine (and she had Windows XP SP3 and .NET 3.5 SP1 installed) had to run Windows Update to get some .NET 2.0 patch. Once she did that, Volte worked for her. So just FYI if you have any problems, run Windows Update. Volte isn't using or doing anything amazing that it needs special treatment.
Tested on: Windows Vista 64-bit Windows XP 32-bit Windowx 7 64-bit
Hardware tested: nVidia mobile and desktop GeForce cards ATI Radeon 5970
WinKey by Copernic (link) was and still is a very useful hotkey application for Windows. It has only been fairly recently that the application began to fail on some operating systems -- Vista 64-Bit, for example. Though some other options are available, Deriven has created a substitute and hopefully continuation to a great idea with WinKeyToo.
Just like WinKey, the user is able to map keyboard combinations to launch applications, open folders, and open hyperlinks. New and different from WinKey is the ability to map other devices such as the mouse, game controllers, and such -- the buttons, that is. This product uses DirectX 9 and Microsoft.NET 3.5. So please have these prior to installing.

Support is via our forum and wiki sites.
One of the more ambitious projects, enation city is a technical experiment for secure dynamic content loading, network class loading (for Java and .NET), MMO client/server persistence, and 3D chat within a virtual world. This project contains three servers: content server, player server, 3D audio (chat) server. The client is a small footprint Webstart that receives content dynamically.
Special thanks go to Ron McBride of Mix Media Salad for creating the city model. Also thanks to the testers.
