• No beep sound will be played when the snooper starts. (Was a bug in v1.4.4)
• Awaymanager is fixed
• You can use filter and sorting for Info column too.
• Sorting bug is fixed (new players were not sorted properly when you set sorting by country or by rank)
• Reconnecting bug is fixed (Snooper may crashed after reconnecting)
• Auto updater may work for the next updates.. but you need to use Updater2.exe to update the snooper right now :/

Great Snooper v1.4.4 (Peja edition)

Hi! I just made new changes to the snooper which was asked by Peja (not every changes were asked). You don't need to update the snooper if you don't want to (there won't be popup message that there is a new version).

But if you would like to use this new version then close the snooper and run Updater2.exe in the installation directory (usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Great Snooper) or download and install this version from here


What is new:

• The snooper will save its layout. So if you make the user list wider then the snooper will remember that when you start it again.
• Information column were added to the user list like in Wheat Snooper. (And a setting option to remove it xD)
• The distance of the rows in the user list and in the game list are smaller so you can see much more users in the user list and you don't need to scroll that much.
• The snooper will remember if you turned on the chat mode (to hide join, part and quit messages)
• The snooper will remember the volume you set

I also attached an image

From the year I was born 

Ok i released a new update.

Modifications:

• There was a little bug in league game searcher which I repaired.
• New settings options to enable / disable things like balloon messages, tray icon flashing
• In the user list buddies will be shown at the top of the list, while ignored people will be shown at the bottom of the list
• League searcher will spam for league games now in every 90 seconds for 15 minutes
• The snooper can hide itself (to tray) when you join or host a game and like that it will use less CPU

Another bug in updater:

Sorry guys I am not really in top shape  So if you installed the new version (v1.4.2) of the snooper with the installer, then the automatic update will fail. You need to download the portable version of the snooper and copy the Updater2.exe file to the installation directory or reinstall the snooper with the installer version. The ones who updater the snooper with auto updater to the new version should have no problems.

By the way the best way to update the snooper if you just run the Updater2.exe (as administrator).

Btw just asking.. Is there anyone who uses this wormnat2 feature with great snooper and getting errors (like that packet thing)? I tested it sometimes and it was working well for me ^^

Aw, I forgot to add an option to disable tray messages. I will add this function, but i will wait 2-3 days if anyone will have another request.

Hey guys!
I just want to notify you that the new version of Great Snooper is out!

It is called v1.4.2, what a nice name! 


If the updater fails, you can do these:

• Delete Great Snooper.exe from installation directory and run Updater.exe (as administrator).
• If this is not working either, then download the portable version and copy all the files to the installation directory.

Some new features can be turned off in the Settings!

What's new? Everything.

But really, there are a lot of changes. First of all the little changes:

• Logout feature
• It can save now message color that you choose for a player
• You can hide banned people
• It will save the order of player list
• Tray notifications, exit button can minimize the snooper to tray
• The snooper use now less CPU
• New look for the menu and for the TUS features
• You can set the volume of the notification sounds of Great Snooper
• League searcher will search for words that CONTAINS a league word (so it will notify you if you look for TUS and somebody writes "tus/tel ne1?")
• You can specify information and quit message for the snooper. (Don't change information message if you would like to use conversations feature!)
• You can specify which channels you would like to join automatically on startup
• 324 other bug fixes

Ok let's go for the great updates...


#worms channel

You can join now #worms channel where you will surely get help for any W:A releated problems (and you can met some cool people here too ). This channel will not be visible by default (to prevent brainless people to join there), you must enable it in settings (Settings / General Settings / Show #worms channel)

#worms can be found on an other server, not on WormNet, so your nickname may be used on that server. In this case you can specify another nickname in the Settings.


Conversations

Yes, Great Snooper users can speak with more people in private at the same time! How it works? If you open a private chat with a Great Snooper user (and you select that chat) then right click on an other user from the user list and click "Add to conversation". This feature are available only for Great Snooper users (other snoopers can't handle this right now).

Great Snooper v1.4.2 is needed for all the users in the conversation! You can not add a user to a conversation if he/she is using other snooper or the game.

If you change the "Information message" in Settings, then this feature will not work!


Notificator

With this new feature you can look for words in the name of a game or in the hoster of the game or in messages or it can notify when a user joins a channel.
How does it work?

• You can open this feature if you click the image near the "League game searcher".
• Then click add new notificator.
• Type the words you are looking for in the textbox (one word per line!)
• Choose where are you looking for those word (game name, hoster name, etc..)
• Choose if you lke to match equal words or words that contains a word that you are looking for
• Click Start searching button

Ok let's see an example: you would like if you would get a notification when a shopper or a roper is being hosted or when SOMEBODY hosts a game. Then you add a notificator with the words "shopper" and "roper" (using 2 lines), select search in name of the games and select "equal to *word*" or "contains *word*". Then add another notificator with the word "SOMEBODY", select search in name of the hosts and select "equal to *word*" or "contains *word*". Then click start searching.

You can set the notificator sound in the settings btw. Default it is the same as League searcher's (if you haven't replaced it of course).



I may miss something for sure, take a look in the Settings to find them

Btw i would do it like this: at the end of the message would be a sentence like this: "write 'no' in private message if you don't want to get this message when you join #ag." And then the bot would save that into a database as ZexorZ said.

uh sorry bad reporting :/

there was so many 2 in results that i wrote 2:0

Hi! I need some help So the new snooper will have a list that will look like this: (you can check these options)

Search in:
- game names
- hoster names
- messages
- message senders
- channel join messages

My question is: is this english enough? xd I mean is it right?

(I wanna release it tomorrow )

Ye, the problem with help bot is that it is invisible for users.. i mean i guess 97% of people don't now about it and 2% of the remaining 3 can't use it, because they don't know what they are looking for.

Our plan is to make a bot which tells you the basics (it would greet newbies and would send a link where the new player can find the info on his own language).

Btw StepS: is it possible to modify help bot? Is it yours?

Zexorz: ye we should find some parts of the software where we could work together. Btw can we run .net code on your server? Then the irc part could be copy paster from great snooper's source code.

In my opinion this bot can be written in a day or two, so I think the main task of this project is to make that helper topic somewhere and to translate it into some languages. Who will give it a first try? And where should we make it? Here on tus forums or on worms2d.info? Here I think we would need a subforum to allow some people to modify the post if it is needed, on worms2d.info anyone could modify the text, coz it's like wikipedia.

Instead of creating a new bot let's discuss how to improve the current Help bot to be more attractive to visitors of #AnythingGoes.

Let's make it work for example? xD

Quote from: ZexorZ on February 21, 2015, 04:30 PM
I think i may host it on my VPS with UCVerse (only #UCian knows what is)

This sounds good!

Senator and me were talking about this topic again and since it looks chanceless that anyone will provide us a server where we could run a bot for this purpose, we have came up with an idea that we could use a little program for this what the users who supports this idea could start when they are online.

So it's like you would start a little script when you start your computer for example that would do this spamming job. So there wouldn't be a dedicated server for the bot where it could run anytime, but we could run it on several computers which could provide that the bot would be online most of the time.

Of course this script would be designed that only one copy of it could be online at once, so if somebody would start it when somebody else already started it, then the newly started script would wait for tha already running one to stop. And when it would stop then the new would continue the job.

What do you think?
