hello, dPxMonkeyIsland adviced me to make some advertising for my wormnet snooper here.
its a new snooper and written in c++. i dont want to say much about it because the worms wiki allready has a more or less complete description of its functionality and features.
here is the link to the worms wiki page:
http://worms2d.info/The_Wheat_Snooper
Download:
http://lookias.worms2d.info/download.php
here are some screenshots of the snooper, its skinnable and you can switch the skins on runtime.

i say hf with my tool ;)

i'm really surprised what this snooper is able to do, and the most of us still use an old thing called "ProSnooper". The Wheat Snooper is the future, there are many features and i like the sounds which appear for example when you start a private talk. very well done lookias and i hope more guys will use it!
The Wheat Snooper :-*
-
yeap, its a great job, however i cant use lol.
-
I likes. I likes quite much. Seems to me like a ProSnooper with a fancy GUI, IP addresses and a bit of X-chat thrown in, if I am quite honest, but I like it, so far. Still prefer using ProSnooper though, it's quieter and more, simple.

Seems to me like a ProSnooper with
dood shut up... its called wheat snooper.

Yes, I know that quite well. It's called a comparison(!)
Also, I had a read through the WKB article, can you explain why there is /notice functionality, when this is not supported in the WA client.
Another thing I noticed, to sent actions, you have to use >, send a notice it's >> etc. What was wrong with /notice or /me ? Unless there's a setting to change that, that can be a bit confusing and annoying to remember at first.

well, now i can use :D well, its really great job lookias :o)

worms supports notices, maybe only since some patches. they appear as normal messages.
and also private notices send as an action are supported, but not well at that point, because they appear as public actions but no one else can see them.
there is a little potential to make evil fun with others and people would call that hacking. (3.6.29)
well its easy to remember and faster to write.
> action
>> notice
>>> action in a notice (very useless)
/ raw server command
>! ctcp
so it appears that most people have no idea about irc and to be honest i dont know much about irc clients too. muzer told me that the client should have that functionality with notices and ctcp. using >> might was a bit inspired by some stdout objects (for example cin and cout).

Right. OK it might be able to receive, but it certainly cannot send. I tried it.

OK fair enough, but in most (nearly all, obviously theres exceptions) the standard is /notice /me /ctcp (then for raw it's /gline etc).
Just constructive criticism

if wheat would provide a plugin inerface for internal messages, i would follow that rule, but atm i find it convenient to send a notice with >> and not with /notice.
also when you want to make some alert to the other, you should simply select his name and press space. that will put the name of the other into the end of the chatline to highlight (make some sound on his snooper) him in a simple way.
-
Configuration could be easier :(.The colors and the default settings are a bit ugly, but nothing we can't change :).
Anyway its good I like it a lot thanks for the upload. I wait for updates.
Sorry for posting this only now, it's a little late.
-
I wait for updates.
is there something special that you would like to see in a newer version?
-
If someone pm you, It opens his new window automatically. Like all the messengers. atm it is like I have to click on his name so that I see his message in a new window.
and I'd really like to have black background not worms blue. I don't know maybe it is possible to achieve this with this verison. But I couldn't find maybe.

Preferences, and faster/easier configuration, nothing big. :)

if the chatwindow doesnt popup, you have in settings (stuff->settings) that it should not popup into the screen. this means it opens hidden to tray. leftclicking the tray will first popup all chatwindows then channelwindows and at last the rootwindow.
you (as a webside designer and css master :) will be familar with skinning). go into the qss folder and open the file "wormnet skin by lookias.qss" with a texteditor.
here you can change the lines
#bgframe{
background-color: qlineargradient(x1:0, y1:0, x2:0, y2:1,
stop:0 rgb(0,0,8), stop:1 rgb(0,0,140));
}
to
#bgframe{
background: black;
}
and then you have a black background (maybe you need to change some other overlying widgets to background:transparent, i dunno now).
edit: i just uploaded version 1.7 this has a worms world party skin and the wormnet skin looks a bit better now. and some other things.
-

i rewrote all the skins and made the settings easier in newest version (1.72). you should try it and tell me if its better (or even good enough) for you now.

My wheat snooper has stopped working lookias.
And your download link doesn't work anymore.
-
i changed my ftp side, so the wheat is now available here:
http://lookias.bplaced.net/wheat/The%20Wheat%20Snooper%20win32.7z
this is version 1.75 for more informations about the recent version go here:
http://lookias.inventforum.com/viewtopic.php?p=50#50
at monkey:
your problem was, that the userlist sometimes doesnt appear anymore right?
well you can try a reconnect, just to refresh the channel screen and if that doesnt work you can try to restart. this problem appears rarely on my computer, but mostly a reconnect helps. if not tell me :)
greetz lookias
-
it is working now. Don't know what was the problem. The userlist/game/list window didn't open.
btw how do you add servers to it? Wormnet get down sometimes, How do you add alternative servers?
-
i saw that article at t17 forum so i tried a little with the server
http://itakagames.spb.ru
but without success, it should work normally, so i will try it again soon. maybe i need to write some code for it.
if i have more information ill tell you.
greetz lookias
-
Don't think it's something hard. How pro snooper adds servers to its list?
It gives you a text field, and you type your server and its done.
-
oh, i dont mean to write some code for wormnet addresses, you can actually use other servers. in the root windows settings tab, there is a button with the text: open editor.
its an editor for ini files, this ini files ship the needed information about the wormnet server. well i think the implementation of the connection process to a wormnet server is a bit to heuristical, it just provides a way to the t17 wormnet server.
it was implemented with look at wireshark, and then i copied the connection strings. that might be to less for other servers, im not sure atm.

is there a file for buddylist? I need to copy the buddylist to another computer with wheat snooper installed

Yes.

thanks, I'll look into it =D
-
could there be a notification if u r trying to add a name to ur buddylist that is alrdy there?
-
.
-
I know that, but what if I try to add someone as a buddy when he is alrdy in my buddylist...
let's say PeJ`AeF leaves ag
I am too late to click his name or to see the box next to his name that is it green or not, I have no idea if he is in my buddylist... then I open settings / tools / buddylist and add PeJ`AeF
a notification that would say if he is alrdy in buddylist when I try adding him "this user is alrdy in ur buddylist"
I know it wouldn't help much, I'd still go to the buddylist and add him just to read that notification... so meh xD

check out Logs in main menu. this is your greatest nick database.

hey guys,
I'm no expert, so I aim this message to other fools like me:
In the past few months, since I started using Windows 8 (64 bit) I couldn't use this or any snooper... Now it occured to me to try and "Run as Administrator" and hell it works.... Wish someone has told me that.
Peace
-
Hey!
You should try to install it another directory than program files. That should solve the problem. ;) Or you can try out Great Snooper ^^
-
The Wheat Snooper 2.8 is 100% compatible with Windows 8, so it quite isn't normal that you must ask for Administrator permissions to run it ???
-
Weird.
And more weird:
After I hosted through the wheat snooper, a few messages popped up (such as I can't minimize when running as admin - which btw I found that I can maximize back from Task Manager). So I said ok lets host through the game directly and then I couldn't anymore - it just times out. Now even if the program is closed I can't host :(
And last thing -
Where do I choose the nickname I want to have in the game?
I'll try now your snooper, Tomi
-
wow, this snooper is actually awsome. also very suitable for a TUS player :) the searching option is amazing.
very good job! :] and yeah, works perfectly with windows 8 (of mine)
