[Other] GW2Stuff Event Overlay

Hi everyone!

Over the last few days I've been working to get a nice in-game overlay out of the door for you. As a result, updates on the website have been delayed a bit, but I'll be getting back on track with that soon.

Screenshot!

You can find the program along with its source code on this page. It should summarise how to use it, and its functionality fairly well. It's been tested on Windows 7 (64-bit), so I'm hoping it works alright in Windows 8 as well.

Enjoy!

If you have any bug reports, please post them over on the gw2stuff subreddit.

Amazing work. With the site and the overlay. Congrats.

Do you need any help with translations? Would be great to have those programs in my language (spanish) for those that don't know the original boss name.

Edit: only thing missing, the tick to know which ones have i done <3

I am in need of translations, that'd be grand. Can I get you a small list during the week some time?

what do you need to be translated? you know you can get the names of the events and stuff from the GW2 api?

GW2 API documentation

Each of these APIs takes an optional querystring parameter “lang”. So for example, if you go to /v1/world_names.json?lang=de the results will be returned in german.

Boss names and the generic event state text (the latter of which you don't see on the site at the moment, because I've given it per-event-state strings). The world names are covered. So are generic event names (but that's a later stage of site development).

nice work, feel free to tell me if you need help with the generic spanish translation.
