Round Alert

This addon will flash the gmod icon on your taskbar when you spawn in on any gamemode, allowing you to alt-tab in gamemodes with spectating (TTT, Prophunt, Jailbreak, Etc.) without fear of spawning in and not knowing it. It also plays a sound when the game is minimized/alt-tabbed.

You'll never have to guess when the round started again

This should be useful to anyone that
A. is a gmod developer that alt-tabs a lot,
B. easily gets bored when doing something boring or
C. doesn't like to stare mindlessly at loading screens when joining servers with lots of downloads.

The owner of the server you're playing on has to install this for this to actually work- however, it theoretically should work on all gamemodes. As always, I'm trusting you to intelligently troubleshoot this yourself. NOTE: The window will only flash on Windows OS's.

Probably most useful for round-based gamemodes, such as Jailbreak, Deathrun, Zombie Survival and Murder.
Also works for sandbox so you can minimize your game when you're loading in for it to flash when it's done.

Now when the window flashes, a sound will play on your desktop if you are minimized or alt-tabbed. You can change this sound by changing the console variable roundalert_sound (e.g. roundalert_sound "sound/common/warning.wav"). You can type roundalert_sound 0 in console to disable this sound.

this took me 20 seconds to make.
