wheat snooper is good and enough for me...
i would apreciate it, when kawoosh will work on more cool rubber features, instead of a new snooper ! xD

If he can do something better than wheat, why not use this new Ksnooper

Post by: Korydex on August 22, 2011, 03:28 PM
I'm ok with using TWS, but would be cool to have secure logging on 2 hosts at the same time (e.g. TUS + ONL). If Kawoosh will add this feature I'll start using it :) And the name... no idea, sorry :D

@Kawoosh,
We'd like to see you on forums. :)

@StepS,
Add a poll to this topic. So you could see results clearly.

@Snooper,
I'd like to know what Kawoosh has in mind for a snooper? We've got a rich snooper like Wheat. (But a bit buggy and "heavy").
It's good to know Kawoosh's view on snooper if you wanna get a real poll result.
Title: Re: Kawoosh will make a snooper
Post by: cOke on August 22, 2011, 04:27 PM
ksnoop or wasnoop?

as long as it has separate windows/tabs for private messages then i don't care - unless it's as bad looking as wheat then i'll stick using an irc client i think :P

He is lazy to do it, most probably because his English isn't very good.

Interesting suggestion dude, but tell me please how can I do it lol? I wanted to ask you but you were offline!

Title: Re: Kawoosh will make a snooper
Post by: DENnis on August 22, 2011, 05:23 PM
why not improve tws instead of creating a new ?

Yep, that would be the best way because the snooper has "hundrets" of very nice settings already and the new wooper will end as a nice remix try maybe. It doesn't always make sense to develop the wheel new again. If you would work together it would have much more quality because a team have more power and ideas than a single guy..

Good luck with it anyway. TWS + Clanchat + REOPEN Feature + less bugs would be perfect.

Post by: darKz on August 22, 2011, 05:34 PM
To all those who say "improve TWS", this is a blind guess but seeing how poorly that snooper got translated (even the German part is messy at some parts), I think the code is a huge pile of garbage. Kawoosh probably wouldn't want to bother reading it all, never mind understanding it. Other than that you don't even know whether or not Lookias wants help from somebody else with his snooper.

Writing a new snooper from scratch sounds better imho. Kawoosh can do it, he's a great programmer - anyone disagree? :P
Title: Re: Kawoosh will make a snooper
Post by: Camper on August 22, 2011, 06:00 PM
Actually its not a blind guess. If he fixes bugs, create new options, Imo it would be the best way, besides being faster.

we could vote what should be changed at TWS and what should stand.

Post by: Csongi on August 22, 2011, 06:06 PM
Wheat is much better than prsnp,but it does makes my game laggy(if it's opened while playing)
If this new snoop will be better than prsnp and won't make my game laggy,I will defenetly use it :)

It will also have the tabs feature - you will be able to arrange all the channel windows and chat windows into tabs. Windows will still be possible to choose. It will also be possible to choose a standard (on-channel) PM messaging, or a tabbed (windowed) one.
It will probably have color schemes and will be translatable. Also, support for multichannels, etc.
It will also be able to host with WormNAT2 and reopen with integrated wkRehost (http://worms2d.info/wkRehost), it will also be possible to host on alternative servers. It will have W:A's own codepage.
PS: secure logging is planning to be done after release.

Not yet, but it can be available for download in the middle of next week probably.
I repaired all bugs
lol. Where did you "fix bugs", I saw nothing. And where did you publish it.
I'd like to remind that this snooper is mostly convenient for oldschool ProSnooper lovers which need simplicity and features in the same time, so it will be the best choice for them.

yes, they will be of course.

Don't forget that when you are doing this, and other actions that you shouldn't violate the terms of GPL.
I really doubt that you own some "extra" fixed version with "1400" downloads, because there aren't that much Lithuanian people. The stats (http://stats.worms2d.info/countries.txt) never lie. So as we don't see it in any form, I don't trust you, sorry. Saying that you have it and that you won't give it is a just a childish action, dude. So better be quiet.
PS: as some people have said, and so do I, Wheat Snooper needs to be fully rewritten. Some users call its interface a crap, they get lost in the scrollbars and skins. Also, lookias doesn't mind ever updating it again, as I see - he's inactive during more than a year already. We need a snooper which will be convenient to the many people's needings, and will keep all the important features.
Title: Re: Kawoosh is making a snooper
Post by: darKz on September 03, 2011, 07:32 PM
Its for Lithuanian people only. In private server we using it.

So you're saying that roughly 1400 people from Lithuania are playing WA to an extent that they use a snooper (not every noob is using a snooper is what I'm saying).

Don't make me laugh.

Post by: DENnis on September 03, 2011, 10:09 PM
Keep the settings is important ya. Prosnooper design would be too lame and boring for me. I want indivual possibilities. In your new Snooper u cant even click on the clans? That would be worse too, because I hate abbreviations when you don't see what they stand for. The next important step is that I want a Tus-Login / Tus-Snooper / No Fake check. The Tus-Lines are looking cool. Otherwise it won't make sense to install an oldschool snooper.

Everything you said is already planned, but possibly after first release, so nothing to worry about. The design will be configurable, however I said that it's mostly for unsatisfied ProSnooper users to make a step however into today.
It doesn't mean that I will not support Wheat. I still like it and recommend to everyone, just saying what I told above, I never recommended ProSnooper, because it's old. I will also definitely use Kawoosh's snooper when in village, because wheat doesn't support well the slow connections and eats too many traffic (reason - secure login userlist).
Also, don't forget that I stated the very pre-alpha screenshot, so the final product may slightly (or not) differ.

you probably didn't understand yourself when talking about this, because this snooper isn't done back in 2007. A well feature-packed snooper cannot be called like that.

PS: as you could already read, it will support tabs option. PMs, channels, everything in tabs - the planned and never going to be done Wheat Snooper's feature
PPS: unlike what you said, many ProSnooper users (including some #worms channel users and CyberShadow, as I have researched ??? ) call the Wheat's interface a piece of shit and will always do. However I don't agree with them, but this is the one of reasons to make a new snooper.

With oldschool I meant the prosnooper or a prosnooper remix, maybe it was a misunderstanding. I would love a less buged Snooper with twsnooperoptions + new1s. What does KMZ stand for then? Znooper maybe then ;D

Well not for me. Will there be a choose between spartan interface and beautiful many colored one, which I found useless?

Yes, I'm sure there will be both. Standarddesign, Easy and you see clear what to do where and options for Peeps who want more, like what I said :) It doesnt matter if u can configure many things if theres a classicdesign for peeps who doesnt need or want more.

I just love individual things and elaborate work. But as Steps message-answers told us, the new Znooper will be very good too! I just dont want to miss a thing ;)

Title: Re: Kawoosh is making a snooper
Post by: Zemke on December 11, 2013, 12:21 AM
Hey StepS and Kawoosh, thank you for working on a Snooper. It’s good to have the probably most widely used tool of the community being actively developed after Lookias had unfortunately stopped developing The Wheat Snooper. Weed Snooper looks very much alike The Wheat Snooper. A little bit like an extended version of it. We’ve talked about it, but I again want to mention that forking The Wheat Snooper would maybe accelerate the development process.

Are you thinking about releasing the source code of Weed Snooper? Will it be possible to use or built Weed Snooper on other operating systems than Windows? What’s Weed Snooper licensed under?

I very much like the idea of using tabs instead of new windows. That’s what applications do nowadays. Also the hosts list seems to have some useful features.

You could start off with a revolution regarding the list of contacts in the channel. It’s cluttered with irrelevant and inaccurate information. Ranks have no validity, clan information is rarely given or comes with the nickname anyway. I’d simply display flag and nickname only and have all the other information available via right-click. Playing around with the version information should somehow be prevented.
I’d reconsider the construction of everything above the hosts and contacts lists, it looks cluttered. Also I personally don’t like my OS dependent styles like the title bar or window border to be affected by the skin of the actual application.

Again, thanks for the effort, I really hope the development will continuously bring up new releases. By the way, it’s really discouraging to hear Kawoosh losing interest so often.
Title: Re: Kawoosh is making a snooper
Post by: Kawoosh on December 11, 2013, 05:46 PM
Thanks for your message...
I too lazy last time... I want to continue development of this, but I little bored :-X.
This snooper written in C++ with Embarcadero RAD Studio (Borland C++ Builder before).. No crossplatform, but it can work under Wine on Linux systems.. I was planned to open source code when first usable release will be.. But I bored to finish it. May be in 1-2 months I will continue it. May be.........
About lists... Do right click on list header... You can show/hide every column 8). And you can do drag/drop columns to change order.
I don't like border override too.. But I planned to change skin system. Current one have too much bugs and glitches, and I tired with crutches to fix it.
