Thanks in advance

you need to set the limit action in a code form

 

it will be easier if you tell us which limits you want to have separated logs so we can give you a code that will log bans and kicks into different logs.

Ok, now I need to know which kicks and which bans. What needs to be done depends on how the kick/ban is performed.

 

If you want to track the kicks and bans done in-game with @kick and @ban, I think that is possible with Insane Limits, but I'd have to check if plugins get first crack at all chat or if PRoCon filters. So it is either easy or impossible.

 

If you want to track the kicks and bans done by an admin using PRoCon UI, like the Player's tab, that's basically impossible for Insane Limits to do.

 

If you want to track the kicks and bans done by other limits, we'll need to see the code for each one, as Hexacanon noted. Either provide links or copy&paste the code into a post.

After speaking with hozerdude, what he wants to do is capture & log all kicks/bans performed by all admins on his server regardless if performed via procon gui, rcon, and scripts. I don't think it's possible however I am working with him on altering some of his scripts to better log these activities.

 

This brings me to a question... is there a command to log via code? We have several scripts where a player is first kicked then banned if violations are repeated. The code cannot return true because of the different scenarios and thus I can't set a Log Action. So, is there something like plugin.Log() to log to a file with a message? If so, whats the correct syntax?

 

Thanks for any help.

 

Edit: Keep in mind we are still trying to separate Kicks and Bans in separate log files.

It's:-

Code:

plugin.Log("###PATH TO LOG FILE###", plugin.R(##INFO YOU WANT TO LOG##));

Example:-

Code:

plugin.Log("Logs/InsaneLimits_Skill.csv", plugin.R("%date%,%time%,%p_n%,%l_n%,%p_pg%," + player.Skill + ""));

Yes, we have the votekick / ban plugin setup already but what I'm envisioning is a system where not as many votes (configurable) would be required to quickly remove a user. We would have a custom list of members that are able to vote.

 

Memban = Member Vote Ban

Memkick = Member Vote Kick

 

So it works like this:

 

Member A says: !memban Problem-user Reason

So we have the fist vote ban request.....

 

Member B agrees: !memban Problem-user

This member has seconded the request...

 

Member C agrees: !memban Problem-user

And the 3rd member has just agreed with the first 2. Problem-user is now banned from the server by PBGUID with the banning member's name attached in the reason.

 

Edit: It could also pyell / psay to only the other members that are currently connected on the list. This would prevent the problem-user from knowing that a voteban was issued by a member. So when Member A does !memban Problem-user reason it would flash across the other member's screen alerting them to the member started ban.

 

------------------------

 

2nd Idea:

 

I've seen something similar posted to this here in the requests thread... However, mine is a bit different.

 

I'd like to setup a custom list so when a user who is on the list types certain words in chat (all,squad,team) they will be displayed as a yell in the same manner.

 

Me, being on the list, types "@scream DROP AMMO" into squad chat, only people in my squad would see it. However, if I were to type "@scream DROP AMMO" into all chat, everyone on the server would see it. The reason for this is I'd like a way for selected users to be able to get others attention but be able to limit it to a certain subset of users.

 

Thank you for your consideration in this. I definitely don't have the know-how to create limits like this and do thank everyone that has been posting code from the requests of us peons. .

Okay, I have also confirmed that Insane Limits gets to see all chat, so you can write a limit like the following to log in-game commands:

 

Evaluate OnAnyChat, set Action to None.

 

Set first_check to this Code:

 

Code:

if (Regex.Match(player.LastChat, @"^\s*[@!#]kick", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase).Success) {
    plugin.Log("###YOUR KICK LOG PATH###", "... whatever, presumably player.LastChat and player.FullName ...");
} else if (Regex.Match(player.LastChat, @"^\s*[@!#]t_ban", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase).Success) {
    plugin.Log("###YOUR BAN LOG PATH###", "... whatever, presumably player.LastChat and player.FullName ...");
}
return false;

First the bad news. The 2nd idea is not possible with the current version of Insane Limits. It may not be possible with PRoCon at all. It depends on whether the audience for the say event is passed to plugins. In any case, Insane Limits doesn't tell the audience to limit code.

 

Now the good news. The first idea is easy. I'll post it in a new thread when I get a chance.

This is awesome!! One last thing then I let this go .... anyway to capture the Kick Reason or Ban Reason in the Log entry? Or is that what player.LastChat holds?

 

Thanks for the help!!

The command, the target player and the reason should be in player.LastChat. While player.FullName is the player typing the command.

Hmm, turned out to be harder than I thought. I have a cut at it, but there are some issues. Check it out:

 

...*

 

Issues:

 

* Only one command vote at a time and it lasts for the whole round. A time limit is possible, but it would require a separate limit and this one is already long and complicated.

 

* If the vote fails, there is no way to cancel it. Maybe add a !cancel command? Or maybe consider a no vote as a veto that automatically cancels? If any VIP says no, all the VIPs should discuss and try again if needed, right? This all goes away if there is a time limit.

I forgot all about that. I agree that it could be used for @dyn idea #1.

Just looked into power points by EB and am not seeing much on this for BF3.

Ah I see now. I like the solution of a veto automatically canceling out the vote. If there is even one VIP who thinks the user shouldn't be banned... he shouldn't be banned. ;P

 

I will have to give this a go-ahead when I'm able to.

 

BTW: Congrats on 1,000!!!!!!

Hmmm well I just went there and it appears to have everything you are looking for.

Once there click on Online Manuals for punkbuster admins

Then scroll down to Remote Console Facility and it lays it all out for you for BF3...

Code:

// We have to do this backwards, for every player in the server, check against the admin_list
List<String> adminsPlaying = new List<String>();
foreach (PlayerInfoInterface p in team1.players) {
    if (plugin.isInList(p.Name, "admin_list")) adminsPlaying.Add(p.Name);
}
foreach (PlayerInfoInterface p in team2.players) {
    if (plugin.isInList(p.Name, "admin_list")) adminsPlaying.Add(p.Name);
}
if (team3.players.Count > 0) foreach (PlayerInfoInterface p in team3.players) {
    if (plugin.isInList(p.Name, "admin_list")) adminsPlaying.Add(p.Name);
}
if (team4.players.Count > 0) foreach (PlayerInfoInterface p in team4.players) {
    if (plugin.isInList(p.Name, "admin_list")) adminsPlaying.Add(p.Name);
}

// Example of how to use the adminsPlaying list
String adminMsg = "List of admins: ";
bool needsComma = false;
if (adminsPlaying.Count == 0) {
    adminMsg = adminMsg + "none at the moment";
} else foreach (String name in adminsPlaying) {
    if (needsComma) adminMsg = adminMsg + ", ";
    adminMsg = adminMsg + name;
    needsComma = true;
}

That exactly what I was looking for, but it seems I don't understand it as well as I thought.

 

Where would I put this section of code into Singh's snippet to make it work? Sorry for the stupid questions.

 

To clarify: As of right now the check for admin command only returns a positive if I'm in there - my other admins aren't in the query, and therefore aren't counted. If I could query admin_list instead, it would fix that.

I did read this. However, I never saw any method to enable users (without rcon access) to issue commands.

No. We can't even tell if players are Premium or not.

Option 1) First-come, first-served. In my opinion, this approach sucks, but I've seen it used. Basically, whoever the first three players are to kill someone with a sniper rifle are the only ones that can continue to use it for the rest of the round. Everyone else gets killed or kicked, whatever.

 

Option 2) Pre-defined list. You have a list of player names and only they can use sniper rifles. Everyone else gets killed/kicked.

 

Option 3) Lottery. You have @iwannasnipe command. No one can use sniper rifles in the beginning of the round, if they do, they are killed/kicked. Everyone who wants to use one types in the @iwannasnipe (or whatever) command for a set period of time. At the end of the time limit, the plugin picks 2 or 3 randomly (per team or regardless of teams_) and announces in a yell. They are the only ones that can kill with a sniper rifle, everyone else is killed/kicked. This is the least bad option, but it's still not good, in my opinion.

 

So what do you want?

Hey papa, I did reply to this but realise you must be busy. If you do get time could you help me out?

This is the only one plugin with active weapon limits on BF3. Unfortunately after latest patches it isn't work anymore.

What it does is limit usage of selected weapons in the team. For example on our server there was a limit for USAS - 1 per team.

Only 1 player in a team could play with USAS, another player with that weapon was punished by kill/kick.

It's a pity that Xtrem Weapon Limite not working anymore. Could you try ?

Don't you guys read my posts? I already did that:

The example is for sniper rifles, but it can be changed to other weapons easily.

It is interesting limit but it's not exactly what I want ...

On TDM server with intensive gameplaye there is no time for console playing.

Players loads to the server and they want to take a waepon and come to play.

We have restricted alll shotguns, M320, claymores ... With this lottery limit we will have to made tutorial for all these weapons on our forum.

I want to set one of RANK

Pressure their base will be killed, that is, nuclear explosion, and then prompts the countdown, as some servers as a countdown prompt

3.M320 N26 BUG weapons used will be killed

I just want these types of settings, my friend, English is not good, really sorry

The first one is easy. See this link:

 

Simple Rank Limit*

 

If you really mean Rank lower than 45, change the Expression to:

 

Code:

( player.Rank < 45 )

The next one, about base and nuclear explosion, I'm guessing you want to nuke the team that is camping the losing team's base? You can use the limit here at this link:

 

Insane Limits V0.8/R5: Vote to nuke camping/base raping team (CQ/Rush)*

 

Let me know if you have any trouble understanding the instructions in the links.

 

The third one about M320, I am not sure what "N26 BUG" means. I think all the bugs with M320 are fixed now. Please say more about what you mean for this one.

What do you mean by "all shotguns, M320, claymores"? Only one member of each team gets to use each of those? How do you decide who gets to use them, whoever uses them first?

 

How to you insure that there is fairness? If it is first-come, first-served, the person with the fastest computer and fastest internet connection will always get the weapon (unless a later joiners gets lucky and gets a kill before the first joiner). Is that fair?

 

Or are you saying you don't allow use of shotguns, M320 or claymores at all. If that's all you want, that's a one-liner Expression in Insane Limits, for example: myrcon.net/...insane-limits-examples#entry18421

 

BTW, I think it's funny that you think your players are so intense that they can't type "!m320" or "!clay" into chat. Are you telling me your chat.log is empty round after round? Somehow, I doubt it.
