Connecting wormNet without irc?

[Matso]

Is it possible some way to connect to WormNet without connecting IRC channel? I'd like to play WA at school, but i think they have blocked ports which IRC needs, so i cannot connect to WormNet because of that :(

I've read that WormNet's chats are separated IRC channels, so could it be possible to just get somehow serverlist and join games?

i think your teacher has good reasons to prevent you from accessing irc. his reason may be, that you dont visit the school, to play worms ,D
i think that would be a big timewaste. dont you agree?

It is possible, but I don't think I am allowed to say how. Best wait for CyberShadow.

Direct IP games with your friends maybe?

Evades IRC totally right? Should work..

Don't snoopers allow doing this? Chat (IRC) is independent from the game list.

I believe all snoopers released thus far either close or crash if they cannot connect to WormNet1's IRC.

I tried some snooper, but it didnt work either.

1 install firefox
2 install firefox's addon user agent swithcer http://chrispederick.com/work/firefox/useragentswitcher/
3 in firefox, tools->user agent switcher->options->options.., user agents window, add one with just a description and "T17Client/1.2" (without quotes) to User Agent, and close this options window
4 activate the newly created profile (tools->user agent switcher)
5 visit this link http://wormnet1.team17.com/wormageddonweb/GameList.asp?channel=AnythingGoes
6 you get a blank page, press ctrl+u to get its source, the game list of anythinggoes is there

That was the method I wasn't sure if I was allowed to give out...

EDIT: You made a few mistakes in your method.

1) The user agent switcher (and therefore steps 1-4) does not seem to be required (I just sucessfully called up the page in IE6...)
2) The URL should be http://wormnet1.team17.com/wormageddonweb/GameList.asp?Channel=AnythingGoes (note the capital C in Channel)

Thanks. I already tried that some day, but didn't work bacause "channel" was written in lower case -.-

you get the page with the headers (<GAMELISTSTART> and <GAMELISTEND>), but always no contents, if you don't use the user agent overrider.

I think that requirement disappeared when the speed optimizations were introduced...

No. You get that when you misspell the URL (ie not putting a capital C in channel). I got the full list with Opera and Firefox and IE with the default useragent.

so I'm outdated
