Yes you heard right! well this is a solution me and Lookias came up with. with the new wheat snooper you can make sure you won't get faked and wheat shows your true rank.
We are introducing
secure logging with
The Wheat Snooper, where you type in your TUS account name and TUS account password (or TUS snooper password) and you register into WN:
(https://www.tus-wa.com/images/guides/sc01.jpg)
Wheat asks TUS if the pass is correct and when you login, the users page looks like this:
As you can see DENnis and I are highlighted and our TUS rank is shown. (I'm star in classic league atm)
(https://www.tus-wa.com/images/guides/sc02.jpg)
When you see a user is highlighted, it means he has been using secure logging and you can make sure the name you are seeing is really the guy himself.
What if someone use your TUS account via other snoopers or the game itself?Say someone fakes me, and use my account as you seen above: dPxMonkeyIsland
In this case, I go to my TUS profile (https://www.tus-wa.com/forums/index.php?action=profile;sa=forumProfile#WNUsername) or by clicking "profile" button in secure logging section:
(https://www.tus-wa.com/images/guides/sc03.jpg)
In TUS profile, I can change my snooper name:
(https://www.tus-wa.com/images/guides/sc05.jpg)
As you can see here, I changed my account to dP`MonkeyIsland (changed x to `)
The password field above lets you choose password specially for snooper. Some of you may not feel comfortable to type your TUS account password into the snooper, so you can set a special password for the snooper and use that when trying to secure logging.
The rank field will tell snooper which one of your league ranks (Classic, TEL or free) you wanna show in WN.
Ok, back to the problem: I changed my name to dP`MonkeyIsland and now I try login again:
(https://www.tus-wa.com/images/guides/sc04.jpg)
As you can see, my new nickname is highlighted and the fake one is clear.
What if someone type another name in the profile field different from his real account?Even if someone put another nickname than his, wheat always opens up a tool tip to show you the guy's TUS account name:
(https://www.tus-wa.com/images/guides/sc06.jpg)
As you can see, my WN name is dPxMonkeyIsland, but when holding the mouse on my name, the tooltip is saying my TUS account which is MonkeyIsland.
On the last note, by right-clicking on the user and clicking on "show user info", you can view his TUS profile.

Cool stuff! Although I'd like to show my clan rank, I don't care that much about singles :P.
Yeah, the ranks were fully my work, as normal ranks, as tus ranks. :) Also I did some extra-flags like FC Chelsea (for Chelsea) and Scotland (for Komo :D )
Wow! Really really awesome ;D Damn good job and an awesome idea, +1 for you guys till I die
Obviously a great job, is this mandatory though?

no, if you login nomally and click at spectate->off it will be off.
Can't you have Scheme Ranks?

yes thats possible, but its hard to make 11 different ranks each scheme :p
some kind of screen I got sometimes :(

When I restart it works
I also got that sometimes fada. Nothing to worry about. :) A slow connection to wormnet usually occurs before that.
Damn good work, guys! You really make it hard to resist playing Worms. :D
The problem above is just a "who" request fail. Type "/who" in the channel window manually and the users will appear.

My question is:
Green rank [as DENnis] is in free league ?
Red rank [as MonkeyIsland] is clasic league ?
What color has TNL or TEL ?
There will be no TNL. TEL is yellow.
Huh, my idea was to be yellow for classic and red for TEL :o but np, i'm ok :D
zomg that is a terrible shock for the w:a community... just 10 unique playaz will be revealed. Don't shoot!
this is awesomeeee!!!!! <3333
Wow, awesome. Indeed.
About the rank colors, could be possible to user choose the colors that he wants.
I'm daltonic, so red and green seems the same to me :-[
Excellent job, btw.
Vultoz the point is people see each others true rank. If you could choose yellow for classic league and somebody else could choose red for it, then ranks couldn't specify leagues. ATM each rank color is saying in which league that rank is.
awesome job guys!
more people need to start using this!
[Half Off Topic]Can you please add the Armenian flag on Snooper & TuS ? :-[ [/Half Off Topic]
It is there already, it is under "am".
Please delete this post (you can also delete the previous one if you mind :P).
PS: How do you change your country flag on TuS please ? :-X
Hey Guys! I have a problem in SECURE LOGGING!
The problem is that I don't RUN or haven't JOINED any CLAN or COMMUNITY on TUS. But in WHEAT SNOOPER, some weird CLAN NAME according to my USERNAME on TUS is shown. I will attach a screenshot to show You how it looks. My name is HIGHLIGHTED in RED. Any Help Would be APPRECIATED!

Yes you heard right! well this is a solution me and Lookias came up with.
The idea of secure logins via snooper was brought to you sometime during summer and posted in this specific forum sometime around August.
Good job anyway
