Title: Bringing back WN ranks and registered usernames
Post by: MonkeyIsland on October 30, 2010, 02:53 PM: 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.

My question is:
Green rank [as DENnis] is in free league ?
Red rank [as MonkeyIsland] is clasic league ?

What color has TNL or TEL ?
Title: Re: Bringing back WN ranks and registered usernames
Post by: MonkeyIsland on October 31, 2010, 01:41 PM: There will be no TNL. TEL is yellow.
Title: Re: Bringing back WN ranks and registered usernames
Post by: StepS on October 31, 2010, 03:25 PM: Huh, my idea was to be yellow for classic and red for TEL :o but np, i'm ok :D

Post by: Vultoz on November 13, 2010, 03:44 AM: 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.
Title: Re: Bringing back WN ranks and registered usernames
Post by: MonkeyIsland on November 13, 2010, 05:28 AM: 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.

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
