Using Insane Limits v0.0.9.3 here.

 

I would like to have IL announce First Blood in Yell form to the whole server, instead of the say form that's ...*.

 

Since I didn't see a "Yell" action in IL's dialogue box, could someone please provide me with the correct code and option selection?

 

 

Best regards,

See this post for an explanation for how to add yells or player-only say (chat):

Thanks for answering!

 

I've got near-zero programming knowledge, so I've spent like 2.5 hours and got up to this:

Code:

{
plugin.ServerCommand("admin.yell", killer.Name +" DREW FIRST BLOOD ON " +victim.Name+ " USING THE " +kill.Weapon,"12");
}

Only problem is, I have no idea how to set it all up so it's displayed just once.

Right now every time someone is killed - the code is triggered.

 

And so, unless someone could help with that, I would have to be the first one to say YES to your question ...*

Hello HexaCanon. Your help is much appreciated!

 

This time the event was triggered just once, as it should.

 

However, when I forced us to move to the next round via PRoCon (which resulted in us moving to another map in the maplist), the first kill (and all subsequent ones) never triggered the event.

Did you run next round or end the round with a winning team ? Try ending the round with one team winning.

This is either a long standing defect of Insane Limits or a recent change in BF3 due to a patch. Either way, Insane Limits doesn't realize that the round is over if you use mapList.runNextRound (the command Procon uses). As Hex suggested, if you type

 

mapList.endRound

 

into the Console tab of Procon instead, that will avoid Insane Limits getting confused. The value of is the number of the team (1 for US, 2 for RU) that has the most tickets.

Hey guys.

 

Thank you very much for your help, but the problem is still in effect:

The First-Blood shows correctly only when I first launch PRoCon or Restart the Insane Limits plugin.

 

1. Here's a screenshot of how I've got it set up at the moment:

http://i.imgur.com/cpdRh.png

 

2. Here's the Second Check Code as it is now:

Code:

if (limit.Activations()==1){
plugin.ServerCommand("admin.yell", killer.Name +" DREW FIRST BLOOD ON " +victim.Name+ " USING THE " +kill.Weapon,"12");
}

String wn = kill.Weapon;

Would that stop Armour spawning at start of round ?

Also is it possible to add a say or yell for the listed maps telling players there is no armoured vehicles on this map on first spawn ?

 

I Don't want the server to be Custom or Infantry Only in Battlelog browser.

 

Another question (not sure where to ask) I have been on Squad Death Match servers where there are 2 large squads rather than the usual forced 4 man squads, how is this done ?

I have a 16 player mixed modes server and when the server is not full it tends to have something like 2 x 4man squads and 1 x 2man squad, which kinda sux for the 2 man squad and by the time more players join it's too late to catch up.

 

Hope this post makes sense and appreciate any help....

 

 

Code:

limit_2_name
Disable Vehicles Based On Current Map 


limit_2_evaluation
OnIntervalPlayers ( when selecting "OnInterval" it goes back to OnIntervalPlayers)

limit_2_evaluation_interval
30


limit_2_first_check
code

limit_2_first_check_code
List<String> map_names = new List<String>();

map_names.Add("MP_003");
map_names.Add("MP_011");
map_names.Add("MP_001");

if (map_names.Contains(server.MapFileName))
   plugin.ServerCommand("vars.vehicleSpawnAllowed", "false");
else
  plugin.ServerCommand("vars.vehicleSpawnAllowed", "true");

return false;

Thank you very much, HexaCanon.

 

I've input the code you've provided and will test it when my server fills up later on today.

What is Conquest Armour?

 

No, setting vars.vehicleSpawnDelay to 99999 does not stop armor from spawning at the start of the round. What happens is that you get two spawns of each vehicle, one at the start of the round, then when it is destroyed it gets one more spawn. Then it stops spawning for the rest of the round. Don't ask me why DICE did it that way. Also, you have to set vars.vehicleSpawnDelay BEFORE the round when you want it, not during.

 

It's easiest to set up if you never want normal vehicle spawning. Then you can just set your server (startup.txt configuration) to use:

Code:

vars.vehicleSpawnDelay 99999

all the time.

 

If you are mixing maps and modes in your rotation and sometimes you want vehicles to spawn normally and sometimes you don't, you need a limit or plugin to do that. It's hard to do correctly.

 

Also is it possible to add a say or yell for the listed maps telling players there is no armoured vehicles on this map on first spawn ?

If you use vars.vehicleSpawnDelay of 99999, it's actually better to encourage players to use the vehicles. Then they get blown up sooner and the rest of the round is vehicle free for a longer period of time. Telling people not to use a vehicle that has spawned is basically futile.

 

I have a 16 player mixed modes server and when the server is not full it tends to have something like 2 x 4man squads and 1 x 2man squad, which kinda sux for the 2 man squad and by the time more players join it's too late to catch up.

Use the Squad Deathmatch Live Balancer limit:

I missed a comma... I meant "but on Conquest, the armour spawns etc."

I agree, I'm sure they will figure out fast enough that it's not going to spawn again.

 

Use the Squad Deathmatch Live Balancer limit:

Thanks I will give that a try, but Is there a way to make a 16 player server with 2 X 8 man squads ?

I know it sounds like TDM, but in SQDM you can spawn on squad and maps use a bigger play area than TDM

That would require a specialized plugin or limit. I don't know of any.

When you accept the privacy policy the first time you enable Insane Limits, you are asked if it is okay for Insane Limits to send automatic built-in Tweeting of interesting events to micovery's Twitter stream:

 

http://twitter.com/InsaneLimits

 

You can disable automatic tweeting by setting use_custom_privacy_policy to True and then changing the privacy settings that are revealed. There are three of them, tweet_my_server_bans, tweet_my_server_kicks, and tweet_my_server_state.

 

Also, you only see that message if your debug_level is 3 or higher. If you don't want to see it anymore, reduce debug_level to 2.

Is this possible?

Thanks guys and especially thanks to micovery for this plugin and all the work he has put into organising the codes and information.

 

I found it very easy to understand and navigate indeed. Good job sir!

Change first_check to this:

 

Code:

(Regex.Match(server.MapFileName, "XP2").Success && Regex.Match(server.Gamemode, "Team").Success && Regex.Match(kill.Weapon, @"(m320|smaw|rpg)", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase).Success)

That's all you need.

No need for a plugin. Just edit Startup.txt . This file can usually be found by using your GSP's control panel.

 

 

vars.serverMessage "YOUR ON FIRST SPAWN MESSAGE GOES HERE"

vars.serverDescription "This is what will display on battlelog server description"

Lovely thanks PapaCharlie

 

Is there any way to intergrate that into the existing code that is the Multi Action 1st Kill, 2nd Kick, 3rd Ban for RPG code?

 

Doesn't matter if not it would just be handy if we could.

 

Either way. Appreciate your time on this and thanks again.

There must be some confusion. My update is intended to integrate into the existing code. You replace the old first_check with the new one and leave second_check alone (same as old). Is that not clear?

It's working fine but after several rounds my procon layer crash and the only I can see is the timeouts in the console:

When you say your procon layer crashed, what exactly happened? Are you running TrueBalancer on the same layer instance, by any chance?

 

These timeouts are not due to your limit code or even to Insane Limits itself. They are usually due to some kind of problem between the layer and the game server. Network congestion, layer load or lag, game server hosting provider networking issues, etc.

 

In the short term, you can reduce the frequency of those exceptions by changing the value of the wait_timeout setting in Insane Limits. I have mine set to 61. I still get these timeout exceptions, but I get them less often.

 

This does not fix the problem, though. Either your layer is getting overloaded by something, or, your network connection to your game server has a problem.

On the second layer with insane limits i'm switching all limits to off except the announcement. It's working as it should for several rounds and after crash showing only timeouts, layer does not respond and everything freezes. To understand whats going on I run procon with this limit only on my pc and found that strange behavior. When I switch announcer limit off insane limits are working fine, when I switch announcer on - it always crash after several rounds, even having no other plugins enabled. Changing wait_timeout doesn't help - it just showing timeouts with specified amount of seconds.
