W:A v3.7.2 Released

[StepS]

not a version... it's a module

Lol. It's a version of a module or whatever, I think it was clear from the beginning lol. Nvm.

it's not a version of a module... it's another module. can't you see the damn filenames?
as i said, if it doesn't work, bl then, no other solution. if it works from snooper, use snooper, etc.

As I've said before, I'd had only wkWormnat2.dll in my folder and no any wkwormnat2ex.dll before you gave me one.

rofl, we all know this, but what we ask now is to delete that wkWormnat2.dll, and you are resisting. do you take at least a little time to understand what each sentense means? instead of shouting something without even thinking first.

I just tried both original and modified WormNAT2, and they all work perfectly, there was not even a little delay while creating the hosts. I'm sorry but I don't know a solution to your problem.

I'm gonna wait for Deadcode's reply if he will do.

WormNAT2 is CyberShadow's module, as well as wkPackets. before creating a host, WA connects to the proxy server in order to get hosting port and establish a working connection, as well as get GameId from WormNET. if you have timeouts then it means that your network is certainly blocking something. and it's not about software firewalls: they're just a tiny border compared to what is happening on ISP level. it could be an unannounced change in your ISP, whatever. if you can't host without WormNAT2 it already means that you are unable to communicate normally.

I'd had no idea how it is supposed to help, but even after I've done so the game has been referred to my 'not real' IP address, not to proxy.worms2d.com.

<3 you bro, no need to be rude, I think you misunderstood something in my post. Btw

what we ask

Is there someone else writing from your profile?

WormNAT2 is CyberShadow's module, as well as wkPackets.

That's good to know, I hope he will read our (my and AlTarf's) issue.

[StepS]

Can you at least explain what the difference/s between the original WormNAT2 and the Ex one is/are? Why would you link him to that module, WormNAT2 is already being provided on its official site. I get a few chances when using WormNAT2 original, with the Ex one, none. Well anyway, I thought Ex served the purpose of hosting through snooper? Once it changes its name to "Ex" I can't host through the game.

WormNAT2Ex is a custom module rewritten in C++ which supports snooper hosting: it provides command-line interface in order to be able to host Direct IP games that are using WormNAT2: in our case it's snooper. As I already said, the default version which comes with Wheat Snooper has an issue which prevents it to host using the game on some systems. it produces the timeout error, which is exactly what argo is having now. the archive I've linked to has a fixed version which works regardless. If nothing works, I already said that there's no other solution for him. This is the only timeout issue which is known and easily resolvable.

I'd had no idea how it is supposed to help, but even after I've done so the game has been referred to my 'not real' IP address, not to proxy.worms2d.com.

then you're doing something wrong, isn't it?

Is there someone else writing from your profile?

Altarf said that, didn't you see?

no need to be rude

the problem is that it's not me being rude but of some people thinking I'm being rude. so it's not really my problem

Have you tried running WA 3.6.31.0 (right now), including WormNAT2 with WormKit and trying to host from there? then switch back to newest update and try the same. if it works, then your problem will have some sense at least.

"since madCHook.dll is necessary to host by default I kept it there, though the fact that it comes with WormNAT2's rar is a bit confusing."


...madCHook is only used by WormKit modules, it's not necessary to host without WormNAT2. If you have WormNAT2 or any other WormKit modules that use it to hook code, it IS necessary.

using that rubberworm installer fixed it for me, ppl can now join my hosts =) but it gives some weird texts like ignoring something blah blah blah...

it's Wheat Snooper's bug, please see recent pages.

[StepS]

madCHook.dll came with the game, if I delete it from the folder an error message pops up saying that it's missing, that it's needed to run up the game.

it came with WormKit, but not with the game. it is required for many modules to work.

[Kaleu]

I had the time out error hosting in-game too, now I downloaded the version provided by steps and I can host normally, thanks.

[StepS]

Im glad it helped

Ignoring unrecognised command-line parameter ("/wnat2")

then I click ok

and comes:

it's Wheat Snooper's bug, please see recent pages.

Wheat snooper does not do /wkargs to silent pass arguments, which is why WA is arguing. old WormKitDS loaded it before W:A, so it had a chance to self-destroy and W:A wouldn't notice anything.

[StepS]

actually I just realized. if this didn't happen on 3.7.0.0 but happens on 3.7.2.1 then it could have something to do with how the /open feature works. it has to monitor the host name, address or something. i'm not sure how it communicates with WormNAT2. so indeed there can be fails, just I don't have this problem as I already said.
sorry guys

[Mega`Adnan]

Damn it guys!!!
WHEN U GONNA MAKE UPDATE FOR PROJECT X ?!?!?!
xDDD

Once Entuser gets back to WA and works on it.
