ProSnooper error

[MollenDotA]

I was using version 2.0.0 and ran the ProSnooper normal, but I install the new version 3.22 and is giving this error (only the new version)

List of players does not appear.
Does anyone know what it is? :/

IP 255.255.255.255?
I don't know anything about ProSnooper, but that IP is uberbroadcasting invalid, in whatever case it's used.

that's just an output of wormnet server as the user's IP isn't disclosed

I see two active connections. Maybe it problem with your connection type.
Program was tested on Win-Xp machines and worked normally.

[MollenDotA]

Any IP that I place it appears
The list of players does not appear, and the games only update if I click update.
Other versions normal function, not only this :/

Sorry english, I'm brazilian

as already said, you're using two connections. therefore pops up a question - which one actually works and used to connect to the internet? try cutting one and see if it helped

[MollenDotA]

here has two connections because the internet is shared with my cousin.
The strange thing is that all working aff, less the 3.22 version

Try to fill "Clan" field. Any numeric or latin symbol(s).

That one worked in my experience. Leaving "Clan" empty, I can easily replicate above errors.

[MollenDotA]

not of ... i the use the version 2.* .. appears that the only way.

I have tried the latest version, but we need many fixes.
You can write in AG chat, but your messages aren't shown to other people.
Also, i host and no one can join.
Finally, i joined a game and was a bit laggy. (the lag wasn't so obvious, but it was permanent, so it's kinda impossible to play)

I understand that is just a beta version, but i found some bugs and i think it's good idea to share them, some possible fixes.

[StepS]

scs lost the latest source code and will probably never continue ProSnooper due to lack of interest and time. he may go on with his own implementation of a new snooper in future, but that's not to be expected any time soon, at least not with the current situation.
there's also a Kawoosh snooper which is currently in beta, and that's also unknown whether the bugs are going to be fixed any time soon.

Can you give me any link for Kawoosh's one?

This latest version of ProSnooper should have been the best snooper in my opinion, but never mind.

you can get it here (http://myfiles.my1.ru/wa/other/weed.rar), use at your own risk.
you need to unpack all the files to some good folder and run the program
there are currently missing features like notifications, /me, and buddylist. However there are some unique features (pinging of hosts and checking if they're filled with players, as well as others which give lots of info if needed). private tab can be opened by right-click; you can also use doubleclick to write PM in the same window

[Solid`]

Seems like a fine snooper, just need some small fixes as you have already said.

Good functionality or not, from what I've seen, it's a bloody ugly thing. What happened to the nice, clean, compact and most importantly, neat design of the old one?

Are you talking about prosnooper or kawoosh's snooper? the skins system has been added to kawoosh snooper (there's a skins pack - 67 skins), there's an ability to disable them. currently aero effects are disabled which sometimes gives me artifacts. this will all be solved with the public release :)

[Solid`]

I can see only the default 6-7 skins. Is that skin pack available?

The recent ProSnooper versions - actually thinking about it, they might be the TheSCS ones, I just remember seeing very ugly screenshots of something. I'll see if Kawoosh's is better.

skins (http://myfiles.my1.ru/wa/other/skins.7z)

most of them are for bright theme, but there are some dark ones too

[The Tor]

I just discovered by exploring my installation folder, they're there, more than 80 to choose from. I wish there will be more options to adjust stuff though, like font sizes..

Thank you Steps

The same error message with prosnooper: unknown@255.255.255.255
Using WeedSnooper i can host without problem unless slow upload when I host and initial message. It says 'windows socket error 10049 api connect' :(

[StepS]

unknown@255.255.255.255
this is just the WormNET IRC host answer, it makes no sense. the error reason is described near this host.

'windows socket error 10049 api connect'
what system are you using?
this started happening out of nothing, and there were no changes to the program when it started happening
it could be a WormNET change

[Casaroli]

Windows 7 x64... Also with administrator privileges.. It's very slow in upload when i host... Unique problems of one wonderful snooper!!!! Compliments!!!!

sry for my english!!! :(

[StepS]

It's very slow in upload when i host...

that's unrelated. are you using WormNAT2? it works through a proxy so of course there can be a lag between you and server. if you can host properly, you can disable that option

otherwise, it's not possible to make the host slower, since the game runs as usual after hosting.

[Casaroli]

yes! I use wormNAT2.. without i can't host. Also opening the wa ports of my router and setting the firewall.

that could explain the reason of low upload speed. also you should check how much your ISP offers it for you
if setting router doesn't help, then your ISP may have a NAT and not allow users to host content on their PCs.

Ty!!! I have a USRobotics 9106, it is configurable fully.. i will try to change the setting. Is the last version of weed in this topic? :D

[StepS]

this, as I understand?

[Casaroli]

Yes it is right! I have already opened ports of router... The snooper detects wrong ip address (not 192.168.x.x), the same first numbers and not the last.. I think it is nat problem. :(

if I remove it of my router I lose connection of net :(
