Sure, that's easy. I'll post it (untested) in a new thread in a few minutes.

I looked in the Insane Limits code and everything seems correct. There's no place where killer.Name gets switched with some other name that I can see.

Code:

chiliper4ikmd chiliper4ikmd 1SeibeI1 30 minutes ban for using M67(Temporary:30) | BC2!

I need the console.log, not the plugin.log. There is a separate checkbox option in Tools>Options for logging each one. If those options are not checked, you don't get the log.

 

The console.log has all of the commands sent to the game server. I need to see what commands are being sent. If the command is correct, it means PRoCon or the game server it the problem. If the command is incorrect, it means the limit code, Insane limits or ProCon is the problem. The way in which the command is incorrect might enable me to narrow it down further.

 

The contents of a console.log file looks like this:

 

Code:

[00:17:34] admin.movePlayer SCHLECKvonED83 2 1 false
[00:17:34] OK
[00:17:34] admin.yell Moved you for balance, please stay with your new squad! 30 player SCHLECKvonED83
[00:17:34] OK
[00:17:34] admin.say SCHLECKvonED83: Moved you for balance, please stay with your new squad! player SCHLECKvonED83
[00:17:34] OK

can someone right a script that I am able to put in a list what weapons are not allowed and if a team kills with any of the weapons in that list I can use either options to:

 

1) kill that player

2) kick that player

3) kill that team

4) kick that team

 

each rule break will display a message on the screen who broke the rule and the kick message will display there name to everyone who broke the rule

 

This is purely for private matches and teams in the match break the rules!!

 

scenario A:

 

A player in team A kills with RPG, he gets kicked, a kick message to him gets displayed and everyone in the server gets the meassage why he was kicked

 

scenario B:

 

A player in team A kills with RPG, he gets killed, his whole team gets killed also and everyone in the server gets the meassage the team was killed and with the players name

 

scenario C: you get the idea

 

If possible have options to create the different scenario in the script for easy rule change like

 

kill player with message to server and offender: YES

kill team with message to server and offender: YES

kick team with message to kicked team and server including the offenders name: YES

 

if possible in chat,yell and both options

 

if someone could have a crack at this it would be great

 

if you could pm me it or post it on here it, thanks

Code:

[10:22:37] punkBuster.pb_sv_command pb_sv_plist

The punkbuster commands sent by Insane Limits will be in the console.log, just like the line above.

 

No idea why you have a gap in your logging, I've never seen that before. That could also explain why the wrong ban happened. If the player list in Insane Limits wasn't getting updated properly due to lag, it could create the problem you are seeing.

[16:34:35] mapList.getMapIndices

can there be some sort of a check that takes the name from the String message and match it to the player who will be kicked. or any kind of safety check.

 

Edit : notice the bold part , it says some got killed by grenade but the killer is not there ?

Hmm, very mysterious. Where is the pb_sv_kick command that should be there? You sure that was from the same server? Did you edit the log or is that everything that was in it?

 

It would be helpful if, on your layer, you enabled Events in your console log. Don't enable Debug, just Output, Scrolling and Events. Then we would see the player.onKill events interleaved with the client commands.

 

As a quick fix, you could switch to EA banning instead of PB banning. I suspect the problem is in the PB banning code in Insane Limits and/or PRoCon itself.

 

EDIT: What we are looking for in the console.log is a line that will look like this, if I were the player being banned.

 

Code:

punkBuster.pb_sv_command pb_sv_kick PapaCharlie9 30 PapaCharlie9 30 minutes ban for using M67 | BC2!

If you find a line where the name doesn't match the message, that's our problem. From that we can start designing some test code to isolate the problem and fix it.

Can either display in a list, 1 by 1, or in a way similar to map options in xVoteMap plugin.

Sorry bud, not with Insane Limits. It has no clue what the current map rotation is. All it can tell you is what the current map is and what the next map is.

 

It's on the wish list to add the full map rotation. It wouldn't be that hard to add, but we just did a major update and I'm having a hard enough time getting people to get off of 0.8.

 

EDIT: you are in luck. I have to fix a bug in 0.0.9.0 anyway, so I'll add this.

Try making the following changes to your code:

 

Code:

if (warnings == 1) {
	String Second = plugin.R("%k_n% 30 minutes ban for using " + wn);
	plugin.PBBanPlayerWithMessage(PBBanDuration.Temporary, killer.Name, 30, Second);
        plugin.ConsoleWrite("^b[BAN]^n Temporary: " + killer.Name + " (" + Second + ")");
        plugin.PRoConEvent("Temporary: " + killer.Name + " (" + Second + ")", "Insane Limits");
	plugin.SendGlobalMessage (Second);
} else if (warnings > 2) {
	String Third = plugin.R("%k_n% permanent ban for using " + wn);
	plugin.PBBanPlayerWithMessage(PBBanDuration.Permanent, killer.Name, 0, Third);
        plugin.ConsoleWrite("^b[BAN]^n Permanent: " + killer.Name + " (" + Third + ")");
        plugin.PRoConEvent("Permanent: " + killer.Name + " (" + Third + ")", "Insane Limits");
	plugin.SendGlobalMessage (Third);
}

Then post a section of the plugin.log or event.log that has the ban in it. That will help us see what the value of killer.Name and %k_n% are.

I remember reading a while back someone saying that insane limits was kicking the wrong person but not actually. What I mean is it was posting in the plugin log that it was the incorrect person but in actual fact kicking the correct person. I had a similar situation where my admin announcer announced to all and the correct name but the log shows it as the previous person to have been named by %p_n% simple replacement. I am assuming it is carrying out the action command before the %p_n% gets updated.

it was case "909303": that was incorrect, the log showed it up as another player that falls in to the case default

I'll continue to investigate replacements as the possible source of problems (HexaCanon's example also uses replacements), but that aside, you need to change your code. You should refactor your code so that the switch statement is in the main thread. The only part that should be in the new thread is the yell and the 5 second sleep. In general, you want as little code as possible to run in the thread and you want to pass as much data to it through local variables as possible. In this way, you minimize race conditions with references passed into the limit, like player, killer, victim, etc.

 

Something like this:

 

Code:

if (limit.Activations(player.Name) > 1) return false; // don't even bother with the rest!

// Closure bindings for the delegate
String consoleMsg = null;
String yellMsg = null;
String logMsg = null;

// Switch statement

if (player.Tag == "SLAG") {
    switch (player.Name) {
        case "Supermillhouse":
            consoleMsg = plugin.R("%p_n% Admin is on");
            yellMsg = "Super =[SLAG]= Admin Supermillhouse has joined the server, everybody behave!!";
            break;
        case "stellatooth1":
            ..., etc.
     }
} else {
    consoleMsg = plugin.R("%p_n% is on");
    yellMsg = "=[SLAG]= Friend " +player.Name+ " has joined the server, everybody behave!!";
    logMsg = plugin.R("[%date% %time%] [%p_ct% - %p_n%]    >>EA GUID:    %p_eg%<<         and         >>PB GUID:    %p_pg%<<     and      >>IP:    %p_ip%<<");
}

// Thread delegate
ThreadStart AdminYell = delegate {
        plugin.ConsoleWrite(consoleMsg);
        if (logMsg != null) plugin.Log("Logs\\InsaneLimits\\Friend1-8-12.log", logMsg);
        Thread.Sleep(5*1000);
        plugin.ServerCommand("admin.yell", yellMsg, "5");  
};

// Main thread code
Thread t = new Thread(AdminYell);
t.Start();
Thread.Sleep(10);
return false;

Written this way, the only reference that is a potential race condition is the plugin object. Everything else is a local copy.

Sound Notifications can only be on a local install. So you need to run a local version of InsaneLimits.

The soundfiles to be wave files and put in the media-folder on the Procon install

it feels like my layer is totally blocked from battlelog .....

 

Edit 3 : restarting the whole server, maybe emptying the server and refilling it will make it easier for insanelimits to fetch stats. instead of having a long queue.

See all those "System.Net.WebException: Unable to connect to the remote server"? That's your problem. The queue doesn't move down, because it hasn't finished with the current player. Unfortunately, this is not ILs fault. It's down to two things:-

 

• BattleLog being down
• Network congestion on your layer provider

I get the latter a lot with my provider.

Yeah, this is going to be a big problem if your layerprovider has several customers on the same box / IP address all running InsaneLimits and other plugins querying Battlelog.

 

Not good business for Layerproviders, but it might be better to host Procon yourself these days...

i have 8 layers on the same machine. all using 0.0.9.2 now.

 

 

i think i will revert back to 0.0.8.6 if it keeps happening.

 

 

Edit : 2 minutes after starting layer with 0.0.8.6 , rules are working.

Is it possible to upgrade just one server, or do you have to do all of your servers at the same time? I want to try to isolate the problem.

 

I can't tell if this is just bad timing/bad luck, or a real problem with 9.2.

 

0.0.8.6 appearing to work doesn't prove anything, since it won't show the exception message unless debug_level is 4 or more. They are probably still happening, you just don't see them.

 

I personally am not seeing this problem on my server with 9.2, but I don't use a layer. Singh saw the problem with 9.2 and using layer, but then it went away. That suggests to me that maybe you just has some temporary bad luck, Hex, and it will eventually go away.

 

Also, it would be great if you could post problem reports on the 0.0.9.2 FULL UPDATE thread, and put requests here. I get all confused about which request/complaint came from where when they are all mixed together.

I would like to have a limit which can store all the bans and kicks which were executed on the server in a separate log file with all the information like: PLAYERNAME / IP / GUID / BANED or KICKED / REASON. I'm streaming to Pbbans, GGC and Metabans and all of them has their own list plus my server ban list which is also separate and i'm losing many info on kicks and bans done by GGC and PBbans after procon restart as its doesn't stored anywhere.

 

thanks and regards

i dunno if it is really possible, ggc and pbbans can announce their own bans, and they are stored in their index.

 

so if they ban someone and you are streaming to them, those players will never be able to join your server. so there is no need to store their information.

 

all ggc and pbbans bans are only handled by their teams, there is nothing you can do about them.

 

for metabans, these bans are issued by YOU.

but how could they ban or kick from my server without sending ban or kick command to it ? so if the command executed on my server most probably it could be logged, also I could see for example GGC ban in my procon ban list : """"PlayerName 2.94.34.199:3659 8646386fbdd7799c2a5d7a2c27ca4c47 PB Guid Unbanned Cheater banned by GGC-Stream.com. Ban on GUID 8646386fbdd7799c2a5d7a2c27ca4c47. Contact GGC-Stream.com for details. [Admin Decision]"""" but it's written "unbaned" and the ban disappearing after procon restart

I'll continue to investigate replacements as the possible source of problems (HexaCanon's example also uses replacements), but that aside, you need to change your code. You should refactor your code so that the switch statement is in the main thread. The only part that should be in the new thread is the yell and the 5 second sleep. In general, you want as little code as possible to run in the thread and you want to pass as much data to it through local variables as possible. In this way, you minimize race conditions with references passed into the limit, like player, killer, victim, etc.

 

Something like this:

 

Code:

if (limit.Activations(player.Name) > 1) return false; // don't even bother with the rest!

// Closure bindings for the delegate
String consoleMsg = null;
String yellMsg = null;
String logMsg = null;

// Switch statement

if (player.Tag == "SLAG") {
    switch (player.Name) {
        case "Supermillhouse":
            consoleMsg = plugin.R("%p_n% Admin is on");
            yellMsg = "Super =[SLAG]= Admin Supermillhouse has joined the server, everybody behave!!";
            break;
        case "stellatooth1":
            ..., etc.
     }
} else {
    consoleMsg = plugin.R("%p_n% is on");
    yellMsg = "=[SLAG]= Friend " +player.Name+ " has joined the server, everybody behave!!";
    logMsg = plugin.R("[%date% %time%] [%p_ct% - %p_n%]    >>EA GUID:    %p_eg%<<         and         >>PB GUID:    %p_pg%<<     and      >>IP:    %p_ip%<<");
}

// Thread delegate
ThreadStart AdminYell = delegate {
        plugin.ConsoleWrite(consoleMsg);
        if (logMsg != null) plugin.Log("Logs\\InsaneLimits\\Friend1-8-12.log", logMsg);
        Thread.Sleep(5*1000);
        plugin.ServerCommand("admin.yell", yellMsg, "5");  
};

// Main thread code
Thread t = new Thread(AdminYell);
t.Start();
Thread.Sleep(10);
return false;

Written this way, the only reference that is a potential race condition is the plugin object. Everything else is a local copy.

cool thanx for you advice, i have re written my admin announcer, i will use the same techneque for my !rules announcer
