NEW: The Wheat Snooper 2.9.3 community build

[Tomi]

Wheat Snooper uses Connection Keep-Alive when working with game lists. As a result, the refresh speed is the server's own refresh rate, it's sent to you. You aren't enforcing it on the server. Some snoopers however use Connection Close, including the game. List is manually redownloaded everytime. But WebSnoop seems to be on keep-alive.
An override would require a separate connection or cancellation of the live-retrieval of the game list. Note that this would be bad for tray notifications. Your client would be obliged to retrieve the game list even when it's minimized, which is wasteful for anything but friend host notices.

I have looked after what keep-alive means and I think it's not that. When you communicate with a http web service, then the communication will be closed immediately after the response was sent back, and the connection will need to be rebuilded at every request, because http is a stateless protocol and it works like that. And I am not sure, but I guess keep-alive is the default connection setting in most cases, so when connection close isn't enforced, then it should use keep-alive (so I guess all the snoopers and the game work like this), but I just guess this.

Also, in case you haven't noticed, there's a setting for that.

Thank you. I set the two first numbers to the lowest (1000 and 3000). Now the game list updates rapidly and it works well for me.

To me it seems that the Refresh button is useless. It could be an advantage to make the settings of the Advanced page easier to understand, and to correct "repeay."

how come when you go to host with wormnat2 on wheat 2.9.2 it adds like 4-5 files to ur WA directory? I didn't know which files went in so I just reinstalled w:a but yea lol...

Yes, that's a problem. Wheat doesn't host games on its own, it sends a request to the module. Great snooper uses a dedicated program (Hoster.exe) which doesn't require any modules to be installed. Also the wormnat2 used in 2.9.2 is very outdated and bloated with dependencies. It will only be two files after the update.
2.9.3 will come soon, stay tuned!

Ahoi!

I like the Snooper, but I'd have few ideas for features.
Are you interested in feature requests?

Also - can any1 tell me were the buddys list is stored? Is there a way getting my buddy list from 2.8 to 2.9x?

I use the latest version of The Wheat Snooper (2.9.3). Lately AnythingGoes stops updating with games, text and player list when I have played for a good while such as an hour. Does anyone else experience this suddenly? Any way around it?

Does it happen on Great Snooper too? I have tried it but find that The Wheat Snooper has much faster startup, looks more pleasant with its blue WormNet theme, plays a sound notification when a friend hosts a game, and has the ability to disable sorting of the player list, making the sorting like WormNet.
