Title: Wormnet nicks status
Post by: MonkeyIsland on October 08, 2011, 09:36 AM
Started by pizzasheet here (https://www.tus-wa.com/forums/cups-general/snoopers-and-cups/), I just tested to see how things would go with showing WN status on TUS, #AG channel specifically.
You can set your WN nickname on your TUS profile. This feature works completely independent from snooper. It doesn't check with secure logging in snoopers. It will try to match your TUS username or TUS WN nick against AG users list, so if you are connecting via snooper or connecting via the game itself, TUS will show you online.

If you are online in AG, TUS will show you online in your:


I'm monitoring here to make sure everything's fine. Don't panic if you saw errors, instead kindly report here :)

Nice to see it works even if you're not using secure logging :)

When you have to play against someone in a Cup or Playoffs, you can see that they are online on WormNET so you have a better chance of actually catching them.

1st: you need to setup your wormnet nick. and i am defitnitly to lazy to change it everytime i got a drop.
2nd: imo cupgames depends on the personal effort on both players, so the information: "he is in ag" wont help much. seems like i dont need to waste 10 seconds anymore to look if my cupmate is online.

dont get me wrong, its cool people think about how to come forward and i really appreaciate the efforts.
but maybe we should focus on creating clear rules about league/cup games or how to simplify the page instead of creating little add ons over and over.

That is the long-term plan, of course.

This add-on - as you put it - is just a way of trying how this system would work, how to get the information of someone being online and synchronising that with the database on this website.

Are you having some solutions about clear rules about league/cup games or how to simplify the page?

got something in my mind but but my post was more a general input about how to think about changes then  solution.

if you think its worth discussing about it then we should try.  but im not sure if more wormers see much need there.  it would be useless to debate about changing bng rules without involving komo for example.

If you have a idea/solution you must be confident enough to say it. It's good to have Komo's ideas about BnG. There are other like KRD who would chip in too.
If you've made your mind, don't use this topic.

Very nice MI!

I love to see myself online =) But the only real nofake check would be that everybody can only play tus if u login at tus and click "accept tus-game" or so ;) but it must be only 1 click, cause lazy.

Maybe simular like at http://de.playforia.com/spielen/minigolf/ (U have to select options for gamesettings and then select an name and click on Herausforderung (=challenge) - but easier for here: Just click on the name to ask for tus. Then he/she could click on yes/accept and then they can start the nofake game =) You just need to improve the onlinelist for that. Maybe like a openingchatwindow with sound like at facebook and then u could click accept ^^

would be cool if u could directly host that game from tussite then with clicking yes/accept.

More fairness = more quality = much better game+community.

DENnis it is not meant to be another "no-fake" thingy.
Also there are ideas for tus game catcher or so, well this was the very start. :)

I guess that sounds reasonable

would be funny if we would link the AG's chat to tus shoutbox xD maybe we could try that for 1 day, like on april fools' day

Would it be possible to have a snooper implemented on tus directly?
You connect directly in #ag from your tus account and on tus page.
Something like that  :

Nice Job with the Nickname thing it helps alot,

Although i think my true message was lost, I think someone would have to build it into the snooper so you are "Alerted" when a  CUP players signs in or is online.

thats what message i was really trying to get across, I think the weed snooper people need to take this into account.

I am online in #AnythingGoes with the nickname "Ray" but that's not set in my profile, CF-Ray is set in my profile, yet I'm shown as online.

Why?

Are you tracking the IP addresses? ??? I don't know, really. Only thing I could have thought of was that "Ray" is in "CF-Ray", but that way there could be different nicknames containing other nicknames, which would lead to false information, so you wouldn't do that.

Sometimes we go so deep we miss the obvious thing ;D
TUS is checking for both wn nick and your tus username.
