Overwatch queue's are extremely long and no-one can be bothered to wait at their computer for 20 minutes, and if you get up to make a cup of coffee you usually come back to realise you've just been kicked out of the game and have lost 50 SR :(
To solve this problem I have created a notification engine whiich essentially monitors your overwatch queue whilst you go fix yourself a cup of joe. When you enter a game and your queue ends the program sends you an email, and you can head back to your PC to get that W.
The program works by using text recognition through tesseract and opencv. It constantly checks the top of your overwatch screen to determine whether you are in a queue. Once the queue ends an email is sent to your specified account.
1.) First download the latest version of the application from here - Latest
2.) Unzip the folder wherever you would like. This will create a folder called "Overwatch-Queue-Tool". Go into this folder and double click the "Overwatch Queue Tool.exe" application (It may take a few seconds to start up)
3.) You will then see a GUI asking for you to set your email address (please use a valid one)
4.) Open Overwatch and start a queue. Then click the start button in the Overwatch Queue Tool application. (NOTE - This program works best when Overwatch is in Borderless Windowed mode)
5.) Stay tabbed on the overwatch screen and then go on with your day, when the queue ends you will be sent an email and you can happily enjoy your game :)
Make sure the window for overwatch is the top window (the one your tabbed onto)
Do not move around any of the files within the "Overwatch-Queue-Tool" folder
This application does NOT send any of your information outbound, your email address is all that is used and this data stays on your computer in a "default.dat" file. We do not require any sign up or for you to send any personal information. This app gives you total control. Don't believe me - Check out the source code here
Note for developers - Source Code
I have made all of this project completely open source as I believe tools like this should not be commercialised. If you want to fork this project or continue to work on it (PM me).
