Weed Snooper BETA (0.0.2.5) discussion thread
« on: October 12, 2011, 02:03 PM »
This is a thread about Weed Snooper, which is currently being developed by Kawoosh.
There's an upcoming major update (beta release), which should happen shortly.

13 Sept 2013 Update:
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.

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

The typical point of view of software developers ;D I also don't like the name, but I don't care. I'll give it a try later ;)

The Wheat Snooper already has a ridiculously lame name. You topped it, congratulations! I'm gonna try this one out though. :D
I remember knowing who it was but dont remember exactly what I knew
