Prestige No More
Are you getting frustrated at needing to ‘prestige’ in Arma? Do you join a server only to be told ‘GET TO THE BACK OF THE BUS’!
Worry no more, Linuxchads. We are queuemaxxing tonight.
I created a Python script to check the position in the queue using OCR methods, available for Linux desktop. It’s available now on Veretium
You need Python to run it and some other stuff. All in the readme.md
You can optionally add an alias to your .zshrc
alias watch-queue="cd path/to/repo/ && uv run reforger_queue_read.py --watch --portal-window --watch-interval 5 --alert-threshold 5"
How it works
It watches the selected Reforger window, reads the orange queue number, and sends a desktop alert when the queue reaches the threshold. By default, that means position 5 or lower.
Only supported by Linux Wayland at the minute. Capture goes through the desktop portal, so the first run opens the normal window-sharing picker. Once you select Reforger, later runs can reuse that selection.
The queue reader uses bundled digit templates from real game screenshots. That keeps it fairly lightweight and predictable for this one specific bit of UI.
