i think steps is trying to tell you, that kawoosh does not has enough time for now,
to develop the weed snooper and that you have to wait, till it's finished.

Dec 30 2013 23:59:44 <StepS> windowed mode isn't the only thing you need about frontend
Dec 30 2013 23:59:49 <StepS> you need it to be actually bigger
Dec 31 2013 00:00:13 <StepS> it actually is very small on my 15-inch full HD screen
Dec 31 2013 00:00:25 <StepS> while running at 640x480 or stretched mode makes it fuzzy
Dec 31 2013 00:00:44 <StepS> this problem has been around since the Worms Armageddon's release and no one has even tried to beat it

As long as the name won't change I wouldn't use it anyway, even if it could become (in many years) simular as good as the wheat snooper :P

Hey guys, Kawoosh has declared his wish to continue improving Weed Snooper soon, but only at condition that the current buggy beta is released. Thefore, here it is: download. Unpack the Weedsnooper folder into any good place and launch. Configure nickname and stuff in the "Options" button, top left.

Whats new? Info from posts in this thread:
Spoiler! View

skins!



Skins pack - 81 skins!  ;D




Skins will be able to be turned off, to either blank plain window or the Pseudo-WA style from the 0.0.1.14 beta (from the screenshots).

Also, improved pings. Not only the Game ID check verification has been done, but also now you can see which game is fully filled with players (full-room), and which are passworded (but appear as unpassworded in the list). This will now ensure the 100% quality of all the hosts you are about to join. And of course, it can show the hosts which were removed from the wormnet list (due to timeout, for example), but still available to be joined.

Private chats are now possible both on channel and in the separate tab/window. I'd point out to the newcomers that it's always possible to make a tab to be a window, or a window to be a tab (tabs system).

I'd also like to mention the perfect hosting ability of this snooper. Unlike wheat snooper, Weed Snooper can host on any server, with the possibility of WormNAT2, changing the flag, name, address for the host, and even (for the server owners) the proxy server for WormNAT2. It also allows full control on your host, you can close it anytime (in the future versions it will be able to reopen the closed lobbys directly from WA without rehosting). It also gets and uses the dynamic IP automatically, if your IP is dynamic (changing from time to time).

It's also worth mentioning that Weed Snooper doesn't do /who all the time like Wheat does. It adds players to the list gently as of them by join-part messages (the method WA uses also), which is additionally faster and eating an extremely low amount of traffic.


Please note that this version may be unstable or have glitches. For now, use it only for test purposes. In particular, a skins overhaul using a newer system will happen in the next update. It would resolve a few glitches and improve the overall look, as well as possibly give more customizability. This release is done as a proof of interests and intentions to do the update, and mainly serves as a motivation for its further development. Thank you.

this is a known error, which happened after something was changed on the Wormnet server. (or something else, I dunno, I think it was the same version where the bug started occuring). this error also prevents you from using a custom IP address when hosting.
as I said the release is done as is, from 2012 without changes, I was forced to do the release. the reason is because Kawoosh didnt set up a SDK yet which takes lots of time to configure.
do not report bugs for it yet, they are all known.

it's been too long since prosnooper was released, and it still has bugs with hosting, no WormNAT2 support as well as newly requested features.
