My question is: is this english enough? xd I mean is it right?

(I wanna release it tomorrow )

Hey guys!
I just want to notify you that the new version of Great Snooper is out!

It is called v1.4.2, what a nice name! 


If the updater fails, you can do these:

• Delete Great Snooper.exe from installation directory and run Updater.exe (as administrator).
• If this is not working either, then download the portable version and copy all the files to the installation directory.

Some new features can be turned off in the Settings!

What's new? Everything.

But really, there are a lot of changes. First of all the little changes:

• Logout feature
• It can save now message color that you choose for a player
• You can hide banned people
• It will save the order of player list
• Tray notifications, exit button can minimize the snooper to tray
• The snooper use now less CPU
• New look for the menu and for the TUS features
• You can set the volume of the notification sounds of Great Snooper
• League searcher will search for words that CONTAINS a league word (so it will notify you if you look for TUS and somebody writes "tus/tel ne1?")
• You can specify information and quit message for the snooper. (Don't change information message if you would like to use conversations feature!)
• You can specify which channels you would like to join automatically on startup
• 324 other bug fixes

Ok let's go for the great updates...


#worms channel

You can join now #worms channel where you will surely get help for any W:A releated problems (and you can met some cool people here too ). This channel will not be visible by default (to prevent brainless people to join there), you must enable it in settings (Settings / General Settings / Show #worms channel)

#worms can be found on an other server, not on WormNet, so your nickname may be used on that server. In this case you can specify another nickname in the Settings.


Conversations

Yes, Great Snooper users can speak with more people in private at the same time! How it works? If you open a private chat with a Great Snooper user (and you select that chat) then right click on an other user from the user list and click "Add to conversation". This feature are available only for Great Snooper users (other snoopers can't handle this right now).

Great Snooper v1.4.2 is needed for all the users in the conversation! You can not add a user to a conversation if he/she is using other snooper or the game.

If you change the "Information message" in Settings, then this feature will not work!


Notificator

With this new feature you can look for words in the name of a game or in the hoster of the game or in messages or it can notify when a user joins a channel.
How does it work?

• You can open this feature if you click the image near the "League game searcher".
• Then click add new notificator.
• Type the words you are looking for in the textbox (one word per line!)
• Choose where are you looking for those word (game name, hoster name, etc..)
• Choose if you lke to match equal words or words that contains a word that you are looking for
• Click Start searching button

Ok let's see an example: you would like if you would get a notification when a shopper or a roper is being hosted or when SOMEBODY hosts a game. Then you add a notificator with the words "shopper" and "roper" (using 2 lines), select search in name of the games and select "equal to *word*" or "contains *word*". Then add another notificator with the word "SOMEBODY", select search in name of the hosts and select "equal to *word*" or "contains *word*". Then click start searching.

You can set the notificator sound in the settings btw. Default it is the same as League searcher's (if you haven't replaced it of course).



I may miss something for sure, take a look in the Settings to find them

Aw, I forgot to add an option to disable tray messages. I will add this function, but i will wait 2-3 days if anyone will have another request.

Ok i released a new update.

Modifications:

• There was a little bug in league game searcher which I repaired.
• New settings options to enable / disable things like balloon messages, tray icon flashing
• In the user list buddies will be shown at the top of the list, while ignored people will be shown at the bottom of the list
• League searcher will spam for league games now in every 90 seconds for 15 minutes
• The snooper can hide itself (to tray) when you join or host a game and like that it will use less CPU

Another bug in updater:

Sorry guys I am not really in top shape  So if you installed the new version (v1.4.2) of the snooper with the installer, then the automatic update will fail. You need to download the portable version of the snooper and copy the Updater2.exe file to the installation directory or reinstall the snooper with the installer version. The ones who updater the snooper with auto updater to the new version should have no problems.

By the way the best way to update the snooper if you just run the Updater2.exe (as administrator).

Hey, i had this problem, i turned off the great snooper and run the updater and it worked. I guess unistalling isn't needed.

Great Snooper v1.4.4 (Peja edition)

Hi! I just made new changes to the snooper which was asked by Peja (not every changes were asked). You don't need to update the snooper if you don't want to (there won't be popup message that there is a new version).

But if you would like to use this new version then close the snooper and run Updater2.exe in the installation directory (usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Great Snooper) or download and install this version from here


What is new:

• The snooper will save its layout. So if you make the user list wider then the snooper will remember that when you start it again.
• Information column were added to the user list like in Wheat Snooper. (And a setting option to remove it xD)
• The distance of the rows in the user list and in the game list are smaller so you can see much more users in the user list and you don't need to scroll that much.
• The snooper will remember if you turned on the chat mode (to hide join, part and quit messages)
• The snooper will remember the volume you set

I also attached an image

Great Snooper 1.4.5:

• No beep sound will be played when the snooper starts. (Was a bug in v1.4.4)
• Awaymanager is fixed
• You can use filter and sorting for Info column too.
• Sorting bug is fixed (new players were not sorted properly when you set sorting by country or by rank)
• Reconnecting bug is fixed (Snooper may crashed after reconnecting)
• Auto updater may work for the next updates.. but you need to use Updater2.exe to update the snooper right now :/

Great Snooper 1.4.6:

• You can't edit information field anymore, sorry. (Requested by CyberShadow)

If you have already installed a previous version then you can update it to the newest version these ways:

- Close the snooper and go to the installation directory (usually Program Files (+-(x86)) / Great Snooper) and run Updater2.exe or Updater.exe if it is really old version
- Or download the portable version of the snooper and extract it to the installation directory (overwrite the files)
- Or delete the snooper completely and install it again using the installer

The portable version and the installer which you can download from tus is always the newest version. If the snooper doesn't show up a message when you start it that there is a new version then it is updated already.

Well this is the best I could do xD I remember that I failed in drawing in the high school at the first half of the year xD (and when I not failed then I passed it with the worst note which is not fail xD) What I'd like to say is I am really bad in designing and drawing so I can't make better :/

Maybe I will try it somewhen (ZexorZ told me an app that could translate the code of the snooper to android) but not these days.. coz I started another stupid project: I started to repaint my room using the help of youtube xDD So from now on "please, think of me as a painter not a programmer"

hey Tomi, just thought I'm mention a bug with your program that I've been able to replicate over and over again.
1. minimize great snooper via
2. in the taskbar, right click 'Great Snooper' and click 'close window'

expected result - great snooper closes to tray (and can be brought back by clicking notification icon)
actual result - great snooper becomes unresponsive and/or crashes

can anybody else replicate this behavior? i'm using windows 7

dont think i have had this problem...

Tomi: is there any option to close snooper when a game starts?? i see an option to minimize when game starts, i would like to close.. dont like ppl PM'ing me.. and, just dont want added programs running that could possibly cause lag..   a lot of times i will just minimize w:a to log off snooper, but thats a bit annoying.... no big rush, but if you do a future update, maybe you can add this? thank you! <3

Hi goom!

I can not reproduce your problem. Do you use the latest version? (1.4.6 in Settings / About)


Avi: right click on the game you want to join and choose join and close snooper (Actually the snooper will be closed when the game really starts)

Tomi: goom is using a classic skin. So his right-click menu is probably different from yours. Shift+RightClick the taskbar icon to open the regular menu and close (and that option generates a different window message).
