See post #10 below for the !surrender version.

 

Do you want to enforce a "no camping of deployments" rule on your Conquest or Rush server, but can't babysit 24 hours a day? How about giving your players a vote if their deployment gets camped and they get can't get out?

 

This limit implements a voting system for Conquest and Rush maps when there are a minimum number of players on the server (default 16) and there are enough tickets left in the round (default 10%, e.g., on a 300 ticket map, both teams have more than 30 tickets left) and that the gap between winning and losing team tickets is large enough (default 50 tickets). Players on the losing team may vote to kill everyone on the camping team by typing:

 

!votecamp

 

or

 

!vote camp

 

One vote per player per round. If more than a set percentage of the losing team votes (default is 50%), the winning/camping team is nuked: each and every player is killed. This gives the camped team a chance to break out. Since the kills are admin kills, they do not count against the kill count stats for the camping team. All that happens is that they have to respawn and get back in position. The winning team can't vote, any votes they make are ignored. Winning/losing is determined by ticket count.

 

Each team only gets to vote once per round -- if a team succeeds at completing a vote, subsequent votes are ignored for the rest of the round. If the losing team gets trapped in their deployment more than once, they deserve to be pwned. The vote only lasts for a certain number of minutes (defined by the timeout variable in the code, 5 minutes by default). If insufficient votes are cast before the timeout expires, the vote is cancelled. The same team may try to start a vote again if they wish.

 

 

See Post #10* below for a variation of this limit that allows the losing team to vote to end the current round.

 

See Post #101* below for a variation of this limit that adds a !cancelvote command for admins.

 

See Post #169* below for a variation of this limit that adds a second admin.kill (second nuke) when a nuked player tries to spawn. Effectively the same as a double nuke for one successful vote.

 

See Post #210* below for a variation of this limit that makes the command be !votenuke and that adds a series of countdown messages before the team is nuked.

 

See Post #261* below for an additional limit that sends chat and yell messages every 60 seconds (you can change) about the status of the vote.

 

 

 

---

 

RECOMMENDED: Inform your players about the vote system by adding scrolling/spambot chat, adding to your on-demand !rules command, or something similar.

 

Set the limit to evaluate OnAnyChat. Set the Action to None.

 

Set first_check to this Expression:

 

Only use one of the following choices, BF3 or BF4.

 

BF3

 

Code:

(Regex.Match(server.Gamemode, @"(Conquest|Rush)").Success)

BF4

 

Code:

(Regex.Match(server.Gamemode, @"(Conquest|Rush|Domination)").Success)

This second_check works for either BF3 or BF4:

 

Set second_check to this Code:

Keywords: vote, nuke, kill, team, camping, base rape, anti-camping, anti-base raping

 

R6 - added BF4 faction names

R5 - added level 3 debugging

R4 - changed determination of losing team to be based on tickets instead of points

R3 - added minTicketPercent and minTicketGap variables so that vote is enabled only if there are enough tickets left in the round and enough of a gap between the winning and losing teams, respectively

R2 - added minPlayers variable so that vote is enabled only when a minimum number of players are on the server

R1 - original version

If players quit from their side, the voting goal reduces proportionally, but it is checked only after a command. So players on the losing team who are still on the server should type !votecamp, even if they have already voted, to force the limit to recheck the voting goal.

 

For example, if the losing side starts with 32 players, 17 votes are needed to trigger the nuke of the winning team. Let's say 15 players have voted. Two more votes are needed. However, 4 players who haven't voted on the losing team leave the server. That cuts the vote goal down to 15, 50% of 28 is 14 + 1. The vote will succeed and the punishment will happen, but only if some player on the losing team types !votecamp again.

Potential problems:

1- Nuking team when base rape is not occuring. (may just want to advance and capture a flag {eg. metro usa side losing and wants to capture B} by nuking RU team they can capture and advance to ticket booth)

 

A- Is there a way for IL to know if all flags are owned or lost?

 

2- Nuking team when too few players to justify nuking. ( I cant see a server starting or just having 8-10 players (4vs4 - 5vs5) being raped unless they are not interested in advancing )

 

A- There could be a minimum player count before nuke vote is enabled or actionable. (atleast the option for server owners to adjust. {eg. min player count 20, ie.10vs10 }

Good feedback. I added the minimum player count, excellent suggestion.

 

No plugin knows how many flags are capped, it's not in the protocol. Yes, this can be abused, but note that it can only be abused once per team per round, so it's self-limiting and balanced. If one team nukes the other as an abuse, the other team can retaliate in kind if they end up losing in points.

Keep up the good work. I always look forward to seeing your posts / improvements.

You have to download and install this plugin for porocn www.phogue.net/forumvb/showth...%28beta-BF3%29* (read description and info).

Then you have to insert code provided in this thread into that plugin.

First it could look lilbit hard, but its not, once u get a hang of it.

Watch the video at the link Lumpy provided, it shows how to add a limit.

Give this a try. Let me know if there are any compilation errors. Follow the steps in post #1, but use this code for second_check instead of the code in post #1.

 

Changes:

 

* !surrender or !votenext instead of !votecamp, as in vote to go to the next round -- losing team would use !surrender, winning team would use !votenext, though in truth, either team could use either command, they both do the same thing

 

* ends the round with the leading team getting the win

 

* either team may vote, not limited to the losing team

 

* a vote from the winning team counts only if there is a matching vote on the losing team, that is, the winning team can't unilaterally vote to end the round, they can only support the losing team's surrender

 

Set the limit to evaluate OnAnyChat. Set the Action to None.

 

Set first_check to this Expression:

 

Code:

(Regex.Match(server.Gamemode, @"(Conquest|Rush)").Success)

Set second_check to this Code:

 

Code:

Great suggestions. I've added both constraints in R3. Change the minTicketPercent value if you don't like the default of 10% and change the minTicketGap value if you don't like the gap of 50 tickets.

 

Caution, I usually compile any changes I make to fix any syntax errors, but I didn't have time to do it for R3, so please let me know if you have any problems.

 

EDIT: I compiled the changes and got no errors, whew!

Set second_check to Code, not Expression. Follow the steps in post #1, but replace the second_check Code with the code in post #10.

Any simple way to change the command to !surrender instead of !votenext? I think it's more suiting to the situation.

 

You rock Papa. Thanks for all your time & troubles.

Can the !vote"xxx" event be edited to read anything? !votewhiteflag !votewesuck etc... or to have it inlcude a global yell message that might embarass the side who decided to give up and plead for a second chance?

 

@papa - While there are clean fair minded players that may be on both teams - I would like to allow those on winning side the ability to SUPPORT the nuke event with only a !vote yes or abstain. There have been many occasions some on winning side are pleading their own team mates to back off to give them a chance - I hope we can find a way to give them a role in support of nuke action.

Really? I double-checked the code and I'm sure I got the teams right. It's this code:

 

Code:

/* Bail out if voter is not on the losing team */

int losing = (team1.ScoreRound < team2.ScoreRound) _ 1 : 2;

if (player.TeamId != losing) {
	msg = "You are not on the losing team!";
	ChatPlayer(player.Name);
	return false;
}

What that says is, if team1 (US) score is lower than team2's (RU) score, the losing team is team 1. Otherwise, the losing team is team 2. Then, if the player voting is not on the same team as the losing team, they can't vote.

 

It's possible, in the case of close scores, for the winning and losing teams to switch back and forth. Is that what happened?

 

Any simple way to change the command to !surrender instead of !votenext? I think it's more suiting to the situation.

Yes it is simple and I went ahead and made the change, good suggestion! Pick up a new copy from post #10.

Yes. The command is defined in this line of code:

 

Code:

Match nextMatch = Regex.Match(player.LastChat, @"^\s*!surrender", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);

You can change "!surrender" to whatever you want. If it has spaces, don't use spaces, use \s*, to allow for any number of spaces, including none. So for example, if you wanted the command to be "!give up", you would use:

 

Code:

Match nextMatch = Regex.Match(player.LastChat, @"^\s*!give\s*up", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);

You should also inspect the chat message strings, any line like msg = "...";, and adjust as needed.

It's possible to allow the winning side to vote also.

 

See Post #10 above, it's been changed to allow either team to vote.

Follow the directions in post #1, first_check Expression, but for the second_check Code, use the code from post #10 instead of from #1.

Yep, positive it's backwards. Tried it again with the !surrender code and it allowed the winning team to vote, but not the losing team. At the time, the US team had @200 tickets less than the RU team. Otherwise, it looks like all will work once that issue is resolved.

 

Thanks for changing it to !surrender. That's just too cool.

Wait, now I'm getting confused. By losing team, I mean the one with the lower score, not less tickets. Are you basing your "reversed" observation on tickets or point score?

 

Did you install the latest version, R3? I had an earlier version with the test reversed, which would indeed have the teams backwards, but I fixed that in later versions. You must have, since you mentioned !surrender.

 

If you are basing it on point score, it's possible Insane Limits is backwards. I'm just using the "team1" score for "1" and the "team2" score for "2". If those are backwards inside of Insane Limits, that would explain it, but I'd be very surprised if that were true.

Papa, Latest version from post #10 installed. That may very well be the case, as I was basing it off tickets, not score. I didn't think to look at that. Usually though, the team that is being base-raped is bleeding tickets and are at least 100 or more behind the other team, so I would think it would be better to base it off tickets instead of score.

 

Update- Yes it does work correctly off score instead of tickets. Any way to base off tickets only?

 

Thanks Papacharlie.

Whew, what a relief! I was going crazy trying to figure out why my code wasn't working. It's like you were seeing the sun rise in the west or that 1+1 equals 3.

 

Should the restriction be based on tickets or score? Or should any team be allowed to vote? I'm thinking for the !surrender version, it might be best to just let either team vote and remove the check altogether. Although maybe I'll change it to accept either !surrender or !votenext. For the !votecamp, maybe tickets would be best.

 

EDIT: Done and done. I modified the !surrender/!votenext version (post #10) to properly allow winners to vote as well as losers. The modification originally suggested in post #20 was wrong, it's been fixed.

I would like to see !surrender based on tickets, with 10% remaining and 100 tickets difference, as well as allowing winning team to vote as well, if you would, please.

 

Thanks again, Papa.

Good catch. The vote counting was broken. I have fixed it. The update and fix are in post #10. Thanks!

Already done. It's already changed to be based on tickets and the winning team is allowed to vote, up to the number of losing team votes. The 10% remaining is the default and is already set (see minTicketPercent in the code). For 100 tickets difference, find minTicketGap in the code and change 50 (the default) to 100. In general, anything that says CUSTOMIZE in the code is something you can change to customize the behavior of the limit.

PRoCon/Insane Limits doesn't know about those players, so it may think the total number of players is lower than it actually is.

 

Nothing I can do about that, we just have to wait for this to get fixed in BF3.
