I'm going to try to retire the Examples thread itself. It's getting awfully long and has diverged from its original purpose. If you have a new example, go ahead and post it there.

 

Old archived Examples thread is here: myrcon.net/.../insane-limits-examples

I want the ability to disable a plugin (eventually after a certain time has passed and when dropped below x number of players). But I can't get the initial command to play ball. ProCon receives the command. That much I can see. But it just says "UnknownCommand".

 

Any ideas? Eventually the trigger will be OnIntervalServer, but for now I'm just using a manual trigger of @singh.

Fixed yet another bug today. I keep thinking every new test run is the last one, then I find another problem. The one I fixed yesterday was a huge bug, players intended to be moved to unstack were actually making stacking worse under certain circumstances.

 

I'll keep testing, but I won't post it until I'm pretty sure it's free of major bugs. Not there yet.

It's not possible to do with Insane Limits. The PRoCon API you need is not exposed to a limit. The ServerCommand function call in Insane Limits is itself a procon.protected.send. So all you are doing is "procon.protected.send procon.protected.plugins.enable CBasicInGameInfo False".

 

If you want to hack on Insane Limits itself, it would be very easy to add a wrapper function that just called this.ExecuteCommand with whatever parameters you wanted. If I were to do it, I'd just clone the public void ServerCommand function, rename it, and have it call this.ExecuteCommand with the array of parameters.

Whoa, that's a little bit beyond my skill at the moment!

If it could work like the map vote plugin that would be great, 1 vote per person, on/off depending on how many are in the server (low numbers will be off), time left of map before voting is displayed, can be on all game types or selected ones on the admins choice (admin will need to set it up).

 

I play HC but this could be handy for softcore admins aswell

I found some code in another thread:

Code:

Match m = Regex.Match(kill.Weapon, @"/[^/]+$");
	String wn = kill.Weapon;
	if(m.Success) wn = m.Groups[1].Value;

This works sometimes but sometimes the weapon name is empty.

How can i make this work?

 

Thanks in advance

Find me an example player link and the data that shows wiped vs. not wiped and I'll let you know if Insane Limits can detect that data. I already know it doesn't get creation date. Rank vs. time played should be possible, though.

Welcome to the Insane Limits community.

 

I'll add this to my list of examples to write up. It should be fairly easy to do, particularly since you provided a lot of detail.

 

I might as well do a map vote example as well. The code will be 99% the same.

Whoops! Can you tell me where you found that code? I want to go fix the original.

 

The correct code is as follows:

 

Code:

Match m = Regex.Match(kill.Weapon, @"/([^/]+)$");
	String wn = kill.Weapon;
	if(m.Success) wn = m.Groups[1].Value;

So when playerA kills one or two (or maybe more) guys the counter should go +1 !

 

so it doesnt matter how many people he kills with one Nade ! But after 8 drafts (inclusive kills) he get a message with " Ur nade limit is reached be carefull"

 

After the 9 kill he get a message with " Ur Nade limit is reached ! One more kill and u will be kicked"

 

@ 10 kill he will kicked !

 

After Kick the counter get a reset

 

 

Oooh and after first draft inclusive kill it would be nice ... that he get a message with "Our Nade limit is set to 8 Kills"

You're in luck. Someone recently requested a limit that was very similar, only they warned on 4 and punished on 5. You can just make the same changes to the code and change 4 to 8 and 5 to 10, and change the messages:

All Insane Limits will have is the latest time in game and SPM. According to the chart, that's 25 hours, 18 minutes, 39 seconds with an SPM of 2048. No logic can tell that apart from a guy that did not have a reset, that's what I meant. Of course, any SPM over 800 after 10 hours is suspect in it's own right, it just wouldn't necessarily indicate a reset.

 

Change the plot to Time instead of Date and you'll see what I mean. None of those curves look different at the end point because of the reset.

Might have been my mistake (original link_). The first_check expression needs to be changed to this:

 

Code:

( Regex.Match(kill.Weapon, @"(_:M67)", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase).Success )

Also, in second_check, try changing this line:

 

Code:

String kCounter = killer.Name + "_TreatAsOne_Count";

to this:

 

Code:

String kCounter = killer.Name + "_TreatAsOne_Grenade";

IL has flexiblity for many functions but current stats retrieved from battle log includes repair tool, ammo and revives all go to the kind of player subject is but it's not relevant in trying to control instances of hackers (can live without those 3 stats). Kill Assist is a very important attribute to look at when reviewing stats and would really like to find a way to get IL calculating this to simplify process.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

ps. you have True & False, when typing regex. (what ever that means lol) is there a negative or opposite for .success? I am 2 weeks new at C#...

I didnt see a new limit so concluded you added the code directly to (.cs) [i would have never got all the right places even if I knew to add it to (.cs)]

 

I decided to DL note++ and play a game of "FIND WALDO" to see what exactly you did. Now I have a better understanding of the input required with limits. An example of this and correct me if I am wrong but regex is a string that only needs to be .success or you just wouldn't write the string? Where as True & False just allows the next check/action to occur or not.

 

I did notice input for percent on other entries and will endeavor to enable that part for kill assists so as to use it as an onjoin limit alert. It will end in a oooh-rah or oooh-help lol. Thanks again singh...peace

To be honest I'm not a hot shot at REGEX either. PapaCharlie is the expert here. I'm just learning as I go along.

If a bunch of people start using it and reporting problems, how am I suppose to know what version they are using? I've got my hands full supporting one version of the plugin, I'm not really looking forward to supporting two versions.

 

At the very least, change the version number. Change the GetPluginVersion function to return something like "0.0.0.8-patch-3-singh-mod". That is, if you haven't already. I didn't look at your code.

 

This post has a short tutorial on Regex:

 

http://www.phogue.net/forumvb/showth...ll=1#post43169*

 

To do the opposite of a match, for example, if you want to do something for everything that does NOT match "M320", do this:

 

Code:

( !Regex.Match(kill.Weapon, @"M320", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase).Success )

The ! operator means logical not. So if the Success returns true, the ! makes it false. If the Success returns false, the ! makes it true.

I want tt make a warning system for campers, that is very similar to this warning system : www.phogue.net/forumvb/showth...derslung-limit*

 

Basically, I want it so they can say !camper after they get killed by someone hunkered down in a corner, laying down or generally not moving. The warning system would be the same - 3 strikes and youre out, sending a warning message to the camper telling them they have complaints against them each time, etc. Is this something you could test out for me? I would be eternally grateful, and even throw a donation your way for all your help, past and present.

 

Many many thanks!

So for example I've got this limit:-

 

 

But what if I just combined the entire limit into one piece of code in first_check like this?

Code:

if ( player.Spm > 1150 )
	{
		plugin.Log("Logs/InsaneLimits_SPM.csv", plugin.R("%date%,%time%,%p_n%,%l_n%,%p_pg%"));
		plugin.EABanPlayerWithMessage(EABanType.Name, EABanDuration.Permanent, player.Name, 0, "[Auto-Admin] Your SPM is higher than 1150");
	}

return false;

Would it decrease/increase load on the layer? Or would there be no difference at all? Are there any advantages/disadvantages to combining everything into one piece of code or is it better to have things separated out into actions, expressions and code?

...

There are only two operational differences between first_check and second_check:

1) second_check executes only if first_check returns true

2) the limit object is in scope only for second_check, you can't reference it in first_check

 

So if you don't use the limit object, it's fine to put everything in first_check. If you leave second_check disabled, it automatically returns true if it is executed, i.e., if first_check returns true. Thus you can combine first_check code with Actions if you want.

 

Putting everything in code, rather than Actions, has the advantage of making all the code available in a !dump of the limit. Actions are not saved in the !dump file.

 

No change in load on the layer.
