It's in Plugin Details and post #1 of the plugin thread:

 

Code:

List<String> reserved = plugin.GetReservedSlotsList();
if (reserved.Contains(player.Name)) {
...
}

You are right that the Github.com readme.md is out of date. I should replace it with readme.html and save myself the conversion from html to md, which is what causes the lag.

I have a litle problem with a new code i write for Insane Limits. I have two ideas to make this going:

1. Way, i need a command to enable and disable a Limit from an other. Exaple (NOT WORKING) "If (player.Count

 

2Way is to use an Global/Publik Variable to set in one Limit and read it in an other.

 

Has anyone an Idee how this is working and give me an example ?

 

PS: @ PapaCharlie9, thanks for your great work

The second way is easiest.

 

This is how you set the value:

 

Code:

String key = "Make up a unique key name here";
plugin.Data.setBool(key, true);

Here is how you test the flag in the other limit:

 

Code:

String key = "Make up a unique key name here"; // IMPORTANT: the string must be IDENTICAL
bool flag = false;
if (plugin.Data.issetBool(key)) flag = plugin.Data.getBool(key);

What's the condition for enabling/disabling a liimt? Why not just add it into the limit itself. So let's say you only want a limit to work above four players.

 

Code:

if(server.PlayerCount > 4 && ##the rest of your condition##)
{
// do stuff here
}

Singh400, thanks for your answer, but for my function it´s impossible to use an easy way like this.

The funktion is written in 3 Limits to realize it and have to work hand in hand. It have to be enabled and disabled from a chat command. automatic disabled when server is empty. and have to react on Joining players.

Decide how many suicides you think is reasonable in a round, represented as X below.

 

Create a limit to evaluate OnSuicide, set the Action(s) to whatever you want, e.g., Log and Ban.

 

Set first_check Expression to (true).

 

Set second_check Code to:

 

Code:

if (limit.Activations(player.Name) > X) {
    plugin.ConsoleWrite(player.FullName + " exceeded max suicides for round!");
    return true;
}
return false;

Thanks for this. I want to ban by ea guid. I want the reason for ban to show up on my ban list as: player name suicider. This is so it makes it easy to track who it bans and shows more than just the guid.

Use do-able using ...*.

 

Code:

String ban_msg = "Suicider " + player.Name;
plugin.EABanPlayerWithMessage(EABanType.EA_GUID, EABanDuration.Permanent, player.Name, 0, ban_msg );

suicide hack?

Here you go Zaeed and FantasyGirl.

 

All credit goes to Papa for the suicide hack limit and EBassie for bringing this suicide hack to light.

 

This depicts (from my notes) how I've set up the suicide crash hack preventer per Papa's and EBassie's posts above at myrcon.net/...insane-limits-requests#entry26723 to ban by EA GUID and to show the player's name within the reason:

 

 

 

Suicide Crash Hack Preventer (used to crash server with excessive suicides) per this thread:

myrcon.net/...insane-limits-requests#entry26723

 

NOTE - This hack averages 1.7 suicides per second (68 suicides in 40 seconds).

If you set the max suicides per round to 30, then it will ban the suicide hacker in 15 to 20 seconds.

It shouldn't ban a normal player because he should not reach 30 suicides per round.

Well, you've got unbalanced square brackets for one thing. I'm surprised you don't get a runtime error. I think you meant \[ for the inner one.

 

Use http://regexpal.com/ to test out patterns. It's very handy.

I'm pretty familiar with ProconRulz, but not with limits yet.

 

I have some eXtreme Leveling servers, where players gould statpadding their stats.

So I want to change some premium players from the losing team, near the end of the round to the winning team.

 

I try to do it with ProconRulz, but I couldn't get the list of the team.

Could you help me with it? May be some simular plugins, or some manuals. Or may be some code.

Thanks.

That should work, but it means you have to put every clan member's name in to the clan_white_list.

 

If you want to use clan tag, change plugin.isInClanWhitelist(player.Name) to (player.Tag == "XXX"), where XXX is your clan tag. Note that due to the delay in fetching Battelog stats, this test may not work until the player has been in the game for several minutes.

Thanks for the reply, PC........... Still have problems though. Now it tells me everybody is protected, regardless of tags or country.

 

if (plugin.isInList(target.Name, WLName) || (player.Tag == "rTr") || Regex.Match(target.CountryCode, IgnoredCountries, RegexOptions.IgnoreCase).Success) {

plugin.SendGlobalMessage (player.Name + " the reported player is protected against lag votes");

return false;

 

Any ideas?

 

Also, for my info..........what does the | and || do? I assume they are separators, like and/or?

 

TIA,

|| means "or", as in (player's name is in the list called WLName) or (player's tag is rTr) or (player's country matches IgnoredCountries). If any statement is true, the if clause is executed.

 

| also means "or", but only in the context of a Regex.Match statement.

 

I might have made a mistake. I just noticed that you used target.Name, not player.Name, in the other clauses. What is "target"? Maybe I should have said (target.Tag == "rTr"), but I'd need to see more of the code to be sure.

Turn virtual mode off. If virtual mode is on, nothing interesting will be done. Virtual mode is for testing without actually doing anything to the game server.

 

There is a setting at the top of the plugin settings that puts the whole plugin in Virtual mode, and then each limit may individually be put in Virtual mode. Make sure none of those are set to virtual mode.

Never had a single one show up in my server using this

 

At this point, I'm going to keep running it and pbguidhack plug-in over the weekend. If nothing shows up then I'll disable them both.

I'm trying to use a simple players white list with the simple expression:

Additional question:

 

Whats the difference between the object "inPlayerWhitelist" and "isInWhitelist"? Does "isInWhitelist" check both player_white_list and clan_white_list entries?

 

Thanks.

For instance, the kid's stats last night were nearly 4-1 kills over anyone else on our server last night. The 2 guys that usually do great were on the other team and still getting owned by this 17 y/o. We want to limit the kill ratio to 2.5-1 for the highest player to the next highest. For example if someone 38 kills and the next highest kill count is 15, we want to slow that person down by only letting him (her_) get 1 kill at a time until someone else can catch up.

 

Does that sound possible?

Yes, it's just a game, but we're all older professional guys with kids, wives, and careers and the kid does nothing but play BF3 after school. We want to make it competitive again on our server.

In my opinion it would be better and much more fair not to punish people only because they are killing you but I would prefer a stats check when somebody is connecting.

 

So you could kick all "good" players before they have been playing for a while on the server.

 

This is also much easier to do than some ingame server punishment which would make people very angry.
