You know, I wasn't sure. I had to look at the code to confirm that you are right, the server.PlayerCount is the serverInfo count of players, which may include joining players that do not show up on the game scoreboard yet.

 

The teamX.players.Count, on the other hand, is also inaccurate, due to stats fetching. A player may appear on the game scoreboard, and even spawn and die a few times, before that player is included in the teamX.players.Count, depending on how big the stats fetch queue is and how slow Battlelog is.

 

So you might as well go ahead an use teamX.players.Count, with the understanding that you can't get a totally accurate count no matter what you do and teamX.players.Count is convenient.

That should be fine, it will be used for starting a server off, so there will only be a couple of people to stat fetch for. More times than enough our server gets a join but the player doesn't turn up, so I had planned on using team change from neutral to a side to do a team player count, to see if there are x number of people in game and then add them to a reward list. Will see how I get on with that.

I was hoping to use the above with onteamchange but it doesnt seem to trigger when a player changes from neutral to US/RU

Yeah, sorry, Insane Limits throws those events away. Your idea is a good idea for a standalone plugin, but it won't work for Insane Limits.

players.AddRange(team2.players);
if (team3.players.Count > 0) players.AddRange(team3.players);

foreach (PlayerInfoInterface p in players)
  {
  plugin.ConsoleWrite(p.Name);
  plugin.ConsoleWrite(p.Tag);

It just comes up blank even if they have a tag, some other p.__? come up as NaN?

Hmmm, that code looks right (if you add the closing } at the bottom) and I've used similar code that works fine. It should never show NaN. Something is definitely messed up.

 

Try this slightly different version:

 

Code:

List<PlayerInfoInterface> players = new List<PlayerInfoInterface>();
players.AddRange(team1.players);
players.AddRange(team2.players);
if (team3.players.Count > 0) players.AddRange(team3.players);
if (team4.players.Count > 0) players.AddRange(team4.players);

foreach (PlayerInfoInterface p in players)
  {
  String tag = (String.IsNullOrEmpty(p.Tag)) _ "(no tag)" : "[" + p.Tag + "]";
  plugin.ConsoleWrite(tag + p.Name + " compared to " + p.FullName);
  }

That's very strange. Something is definitely going wrong. What version of IL are you using?

 

Ah, I have a theory. Are you using Battlelog Cache? It might be that the clan tag is not be cached properly or not being queried properly. Search your battle.log for the same name. Every time the stats are fetched for that player, through the cache or not, the tag is written in battle.log. If you find the same name with a tag AND without a tag and you are using Battlelog Cache, that's the likely explanation.

You are correct in the fact i had it set for using cache when it was disabled. I knocked it off because i thought it was locking up my layer more. What is your oppinion of it, has it affected stability at all for procon_? set back to direct fech for now. if you say cache plugin is ok i will move over to that again.

 

F.Y.I. Whilst we are talking about battle.log, if the server folder is not created for logging, i.e because procon is not logging chat, console, events etc, then insane limits throws an error because it cannot find the folder. Logs/111.11.11.111_12345/20130202_battle.log

I think Battlelog Cache plugin (1.0.1.0) is fine, I've never had a problem with it.

 

What event are you evaluating your limit on? I want to set up a test that compares the tag seen OnJoin vs? (whatever event you are coding for) in Insane Limits.

I am using on join and it is working ok now, i had it set to use the cache plugin i.e. direct fetch false but the plugin was not enabled, i wil now switch it back to use the cache and see how it goes

20-30 players, spawn time set to 1.5 times normal

 

over 30 players, spawn time set to normal

 

 

I know there is a way to turn spawns off, but that turns you into a custom server, which kills your player joins..........

 

 

Any help?

Vehicle spawn delay only changes on new round. You still need it ?

Well, that would do it!

Hexa, I'm sure it does: we change the spawn delay in several maps frequently to spawn faster if we are fooling around with jets or heli's........ I've never noticed it taking a round change to adjust it.

 

Unless you're saying that a "limit" could only make it change at new round..............

 

So yeah, would like to have it....... and be functional throughout the round, not just at round start.

 

Thanks, hexa..........you are always a lot of help. I appreciate you, brother.

Reset spawn time to 200%, killed chopper, respawned in 4-5 seconds.

Killed that chopper, respawned in @2.5 minutes...........

 

 

So, it does work, just takes one vehicle destroyed after new spawn time is set before it actually sets to new respawn time........

Hutchew

true, since my testing was only on one chopper not 2.

 

there are 2 ways to do it. first one is to make a limit evaluation OnIntervalServer with less than a minute check time so that the limit will check the amount of players every say like 40 seconds and set a new vehicle delay.

 

second method is to make two limits, one is OnJoin and the second limit is OnLeave with the same code, which i believe will be a lot more accurate.

 

both ways use the same first check code

 

Code:

if (server.PlayerCount <= 20) plugin.ServerCommand("vars.vehicleSpawnDelay", "10000");
if (server.PlayerCount > 20 && server.PlayerCount <= 30) plugin.ServerCommand("vars.vehicleSpawnDelay", "200");
if (server.PlayerCount > 30) plugin.ServerCommand("vars.vehicleSpawnDelay", "100");
return false;

I did change up the times, though.........666 for under 20 (10 minutes),

333 for 20-30 (5 minutes)

then 100 for over 30 (90 seconds)

 

Thought being that it takes 2 vehicle destroys before the new spawn time kicks in, so 10000 would have been a really long time........

e.g I want to disable a plugin with:

procon.protected.plugins.setVariable "CTrueBalancerBF3" "What to do with squads_" "Keep all Squads"

EDIT:

 

It seems to be not possible. Somebody asked that question on the first page and the answer from PapaCharlie9 is:

 

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.

But maybe somebody has an idea how to solve my problem:

 

I use Truebalancer and I scramble teams on every new map after 2 rounds rush. Normally I want too keep all squads together. Truebalancer has this option to keep the squads together but sometimes really strong stacked squads are ruining the balance all time.

 

My idea:

 

If a rush round is finished very fast it is assumed that teams were very unbalanced and I want to scramble teams WITHOUT keeping squads together.

 

 

-OnRoundOver

 

-First check expression:

 

((server.TimeRound/60)

-New action:

say "!scramblenow"

 

This limit scrambles squad after an unbalanced round no matter if it is the first or second round.

 

But I dont find a way to change temporary the truebalancer setting to "keep no squads"

 

Does anyone has an idea how I can do that?

I could be wrong, but I don't think there is any way to do that with Insane Limits, or any plugin for that matter. Doing an admin.say is usually ignored by other plugins. Only chat typed by players is noticed.

 

That said, you might want to see the discussion about unstacking Rush here:

The video is a bit outdate, but will show you how to use Insane Limits.

 

All the career (ignore resets) expressions are listed here:

 

www.phogue.net/forumvb/showth...Premium-resets*

 

So for KDR, you want (OnJoin):

 

Code:

(!player.StatsError  && (player.Kills/player.Deaths) > 1.5 )

Then an Action like Kick or Ban.

Excellent ...Thanks heaps

This does not work as I have it set up. It does not kill the player for using C4 or send the message. Can someone help me to get this setup so that it will work?

i advice you to follow these two topics first :

 

- Insane Limits V0.7/R1: All Activations

- Insane Limits V0.8/R1: Metro only, 2 warnings then punish for M320, RPG, USAS, etc. *

 

this is to avoid sending multiple punishments to the same player for having for example 3 kills with one c4.

 

 

if you still need more help feel free to ask in those topics.

It works on all kils but not with M98B. Does anyone have an idea whats the problem?

Ive read through the code to write a new plugin to parse webpages, but I was hoping for a way to do it within InsaneLimits so I could avoid adding more plugins to the server. All help is appreciated here as I bow before the God of Procon lol.

Let's see if I can remember what I posted before the forum rollback ...

 

Basically, I said something like I can't recommend using Insane Limits for that purpose. Fetching web pages is hard to do correctly, so I can't even recommend doing that with a standalone plugin. There are just too many problems associated with scraping web pages for data. Even when they have a well-formed Web api, it's problematic to do in a plugin.

First check - Expression

Code:

Regex.Match(kill.Weapon, @"(_:C4)", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase).Success

I then used the second check and cloned some other code to come up with this.

 

Second check - code

 

Code:

String kCounter = killer.Name + "_TreatAsOne_Count"; TimeSpan time = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5); 
int warnings = 0; if (server.Data.issetInt(kCounter)) warnings = server.Data.getInt(kCounter); 
String msg = plugin.R("%p_n% , No C4 Allowed In This Server."); 
if (warnings == 0) { plugin.ServerCommand("admin.yell", msg, "7", "player", killer.Name); 
plugin.ServerCommand("admin.say", msg, "player", killer.Name); 
plugin.KillPlayer(killer.Name, 7); 
plugin.SendGlobalMessage(msg); 
server.Data.setInt(kCounter, warnings+1); return false; } 
if (limit.Activations(killer.Name, time) > 1) return false; 

if (warnings >= 1) { plugin.ServerCommand("admin.yell", msg, "7", "player", killer.Name);
 plugin.ServerCommand("admin.say", msg, "player", killer.Name); plugin.KillPlayer(killer.Name, 7);
 plugin.SendGlobalMessage(msg); server.Data.setInt(kCounter, warnings+1); return false; }
 server.Data.setInt(kCounter, warnings+1); return false;

I have tested this limit and it works well.

 

HexaCanon thanks again for getting me started and pointed in the right direction.
