Can you provide a link? I don't believe anyone has successfully done this plugin, due to the problem droopie cited, which is just a paraphrase of what micovery said about the same topic.

 

@droopie: your idea would work, it's just very hard to code, requiring synchronized timer threads. Since the game server itself does this for you and even posts a message in the lower quarter of the screen, it kind of seems diminishing returns for so much effort, for me anyway.

yea i suppose, just for the fun of displaying whos had a nice lineup of players to the server instead of a personal message.

They could not see them before, because they have no access to the stored images at Multiplay.

 

But now I want to give my admins the 'right' to request screenshots from ingame.

So, I want my admins to have a command like this ingame:

 

!getss

 

I haven't found a limit for this, or I've not searched correctly.

 

Or is there a way to add it to the In-Game admin plugin?

There's already a plugin that does this. See ...*.

For the record, the way to do this with Insane Limits is:

 

Code:

String name = ... whatever the suspect's player.Name is ...
plugin.ServerCommand("punkBuster.ps_sv_command", "pb_sv_getss " + name);

BTW, the homebrew command I built does the pb_sv_getss 3 times, spaced out by the minimum ss interval in your pb config (default is 30 seconds, I think), to get a good sampling of suspect views and to deal with the inevitable black screen that happens sometimes.

But wouldn't you have to type the player.Name exactly as it? Or does it make use of the fuzzy logic that we see in-game admin plugin?

It has to be exact and that is a previously solved problem in other Insane Limits code.

 

I left those details out because it's a general problem, applies to kick, ban, pyell, any sort of in-game chat command directed at another player. Whenever I need an exact name, I just copy&paste some code I already have from some other limit.

And since I always have to search for that re-usable code through all my limits, I might as well post it so that everyone can find it easily.

EX player1 is talking a bunch of crap, being rude.

 

Admin types

 

!mute player1

 

Player one then would die or be queue to die each and every message

after about the 3rd message within a minute they would be kicked?

 

With the ability to also

!unmute

 

I know kicking is a lot easier, but I like to give people chances.

Your link doesn't work.

No, AFAIK the game does not report different spawning events. It tells you when a player has spawned, but not how.

Should be do-able, but it's beyond my expertise I'm afraid. And that's not exactly an elegant solution.

Actually isn't. A late revision of BC2 enabled admin control of chat, but so far BF3 does not support that feature. The only way to stop a player from spewing chat is to kick/ban them. Or, my preferred method, admin.killPlayer on chat. It doesn't stop the chat, but it does annoy the chat spammer at least as much as the spamees.

Right now this is set up to log only to a file > "_admin_commands.log"

The log file will contain the name of who typed the admin command and what the command was using 'last chat'

Do you have a typo in the command - did you mean \kick instead of \!kick?

 

If so just add the \kick, \kill, \ban, etc to the list

No, the command is:-

 

Code:

\!kick GitSum

It's documented in the In-Game Admin plug-in read me.

You have a typo. I thought at first you meant if someone replaced "!" with "\". The actual super secret private command is "/" and yes, it will not show up someone uses that because the command won't show in chat at all

Ah doh! \ & / virtually the same difference

You were killed by rpg type @punish to avenge your death. then once the adminkill has happend i would like displayed in the rpg killers chat No RPG On Infantry.

 

please let me know if there is any probs with this, as this would be a very big asset to all servers who run the no rpg on infantry rule.

 

yes i am aware that there could be an issue as victims could be in a vehicle and i guess there isnt a way round that but i am just going to have to police the servers and warn people if they punish when in a vehicle they will be removed from the server.

Limits like these are minefields. Have you consider what happens if they get rubble kills?

Just threw this together, I've no idea if it would work or not. It compiles fine though...

 

Code:

if ( limit.Activations ( player.Name, TimeSpan.FromSeconds ( 1 ) ) == 2 )
	{
		string msg = "" + player.Name + " DOUBLE KILL! ";
		plugin.ServerCommand("admin.yell", msg, "10");
		plugin.ServerCommand("admin.say", msg, "all");
	}

if ( limit.Activations ( player.Name, TimeSpan.FromSeconds ( 2 ) ) == 3 )
	{
		string msg = "" + player.Name + " TRIPLE KILL! ";
		plugin.ServerCommand("admin.yell", msg, "10");
		plugin.ServerCommand("admin.say", msg, "all");
	}

if ( limit.Activations ( player.Name, TimeSpan.FromSeconds ( 3 ) ) >= 4 )
	{
		string msg = "" + player.Name + " MULTI KILL! ";
		plugin.ServerCommand("admin.yell", msg, "10");
		plugin.ServerCommand("admin.say", msg, "all");
	}

return false;

The evaluation would be OnKill, and the first_check would be expression as (true).

I was looking for double, and then immediately triple to see if it triggered twice, but it didn't happen. More testing tomorrow!

Yes i see what you are saying, but to my knowledge there isnt any rubble kills in the karkand maps as thats all we use. But yes in seine crossing this would be a hazzard

Ouch. The part in bold (multiple kills) is pretty hard to code. I thought your server was Infantry Only, why are there vehicles? Are you sure you need that requirement? I can do it, but it will take a lot longer to write and will require a lot of testing to be sure it works right.

 

I also want to make these changes, are these okay?

 

1) 20 seconds isn't long enough, particularly since part of the time the victim can't type chat because they are in the killcam screen (unless you have that turned off). How about 60 seconds?

 

2) In order to be compatible with other plugins that use !punish and @punish, how about just the letter p by itself?

 

3) Since the admin.kill requires a delay, I'm going to add a yell during the delay, so they know why they are being killed.

		plugin.ServerCommand("admin.say", msg, "all");
	}

return false;

The evaluation would be OnKill, and the first_check would be expression as (true).

You can see from inspection this code won't work in all cases. It will work in some cases, maybe even the most common cases.

 

If all three kills of a triple kill happen within 1 second, this code works.

 

Assume a triple kill happens where each of the kills happen within 2 seconds of each other and the first two happen within 1 second of each other. In that case, it doesn't work, you'll get both a double and a triple kill message.

 

Now suppose in a triple kill the first kill happens, and then 2.1 seconds later the second kill happens and then 0.5 seconds later the third kill happens, i.e., the 2nd and 3rd kill are within 1 second of each other. With this scenario, you'll still get both a double and a triple kill message, because the 2nd and 3rd kills satisfy the first condition. You could prevent this outcome by testing for the triple first and then make the double be an "else if", which means the triple message excludes the double from happening. This can't fix the other case, though.

 

Limit activations are not reset and the time based ones just look backwards in time for all activations that meet the time requirement. You can't exclude a subset from a greater set with simple conditional logic.

 

As droopie suggested, you have to find a way to delay making the decision about something being a double kill until you are sure it is not a triple kills. That requires some bookkeeping for time and kill events above and beyond limit.Activations(time). It's doable, just not with simple if conditions like that.
