.gitattributes and .gitignore are two files added by the git version control system (the plugin hosted at github.com). The Readme.md file is a readme-fileextension used by GitHub for the repositories description (to be seen e.g. here: https://github.com/PapaCharlie9/insane-limits). You can ignore those three files, the important ones are the .cs-Files and .inc-Files, since they usually contain all the code you need for Procon-plugins (in your cause only InsaneLimits.cs).

How many limits do you have and how large are they? A large number of limits and/or large sized limits might cause that.

 

Find your InsaneLimits?ip_port.conf file and post its size in bytes. I have a lot of limits and some of them are large, but my .conf file size is only 351 Kb.

The conf files a currently empty, or contains the standard settings, since the files where emptied out, and even my backup was overwritten with the empty files, so i have to go through this forum all over again, putting together every custom thing that i had, since everything is lost...

 

I guess this is the last time i am going to be using this plugin, since it's the only one deleting my settings over and over again...

 

It is time consuming putting all the limits together and fine tuning it for 2 servers, i just don't find the motivation for doing that same thing over and over again, for hours and hours.

 

There has got to be a way of making the plugin NOT deleting everything?

If it takes Procon over 2 MINUTES to set the variables for a plugin, something's clearing wrong with the variables... Either you're setting enourmously large variables (aka many/large limits) or the server hosting your Procon layer is so hogged it cannot spare a single CPU cycle to save your stuff (very unlikely, Procon wouldn't even respond).

If a plugins loading/setup is corrupted, Procon resets it to standard-settings to avoid getting locked up and throwing errors over errors. However, you can simply copy the config files whenever you make important changes (or on regular basis, I wrote myself a little program that zips up my configs every 12 hours and keeps a backup of the last 7 days). This way, you can simply replace the "new" ones if they get whiped.

I get the error when i try to create the first limit, e.g there is no limits, because i cannot create them, so there is no variables that can do anything...

 

I do not think that the plugin is deleting everything is a good idea, and i don't think that making people HAVE TO create backup scripts without the knowledge how to, is a good idea, why cant the limits just stay in the config file? That's what config files are for isn't it?

 

If the content in the config file is corrupted, just turn the damn plugin off, with a error msg.

 

For the record, i HAD backup of the config files, but the backup program i use, just adds the latest changes, so when the plugin found out that HEY lets delete all the limits, the empty configs where backed up, and they are lost forever until i put them back manually from all over the forums.

 

Are there any settings in procon that can cause a error like this? Some limitations of any kind?

OR, are there any system settings that can cause a error like this?

I can tell you are frustrated and I sympathize. That said, there are over 300 servers using Insane Limits and maybe 200x that using Procon with only a handful having similar problems, usually due to moving from one service/ip_port to another. Would you be willing to consider that a large portion of your difficulties are due to some of your own decisions? For example, I don't use a backup-program, and if I did, I'd make sure that I could recover the state of a file several backups into the past, particularly if it is incremental. Perhaps the simple expedient of making a copy of the Configs folder and storing it in a different folder might be more effective? On those occasions when I've had to move to a different service/ip_port, I just got the originals from my one simple copy and fixed up the ip_port in all the required places. No frustration, no problems.

 

BTW, it is very unlikely that your limits are actually deleted, unless you deleted them. What is more likely to have happen is that the layer server installation of Procon has lost track of where the .conf file is. They are probably trapped in an InsaneLimits_oldip_oldport.conf file from your original setup. If you made a copy of your original setup, you can probably recover your limits from that .conf file. The details are explained here, in the steps to follow when you move to a new layer server or new game server address:

I just copied the folder from one layer to another, so the gameserver ip's didn't change...

 

Set aside the configs, what might cause the issue i am having?

If i can sort that out, i can created new limits.

 

*edit

 

Nevermind, i have changed back to ANOTHER layer, that seems to work.

Look in your procon folder for a file called DEBUG.txt. Look for a date/time entry for the time you tried to launch the layer and it failed. What error does it say? Post the whole section.

Code:

if ( limit.Activations(player.Name, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(2)) >  1) return false;

Does this mean, that the limit gets activated when the threshold of 1 (kills in this case) within 2 seconds is passed?

Thanks for some clarification

Yes, that is a problem. I had argued with micovery that each command should be prefixed with "!insane" or something, but it is what it is.

 

You could change your command to "$info" or "#info" or "!cmd info", replacing "cmd" with whatever makes sense for what you are trying to do.

It's to prevent double, triple kills from registering as 2 or 3 separate kills. If you are trying to warn and then punish, a double or triple kill skips the warning and goes straight to the punish.

 

The line of code means that if more than one kill happens within 2 seconds, they are not counted.

Yes. Read the Data and RoundData Objects section in post #1. It's a dictionary, which you may find more useful than a array. For example, to store a counter for every player in the server by name, you can do this:

 

Code:

String key = "MyCounter_" + player.Name;
int count = 0;
if (plugin.Data.issetInt(key)) count = plugin.Data.getInt(key);
count = count + 1;
plugin.Data.setInt(key, count);

If you really want an array, you can do it like this:

 

Code:

String key = "MyArray";
int[] array = null;
if (plugin.Data.issetObject(key)) array = (int[])plugin.Data.getObject(key);

// Just an example, add 1 to each item in the int array
for (int i = 0; i < array.Length; ++i) {
     array[i] = array[i] + 1;
}

plubin.Data.setObject((Object)array);

If you want the values to be reset at the end of the round, use RoundData instead of Data.

 

All of your Data and RoundData code follows the same pattern: define the key, check if a value already exists and get it, modify the value, set the value. As long as you use the same key String in the other limits and the same object (plugin, server, player, etc.) and the same Data or RoundData and the same type (getInt, getString, getObject, etc.), the other limits will have the same values.

Could be network congestion at your layer or it could be Battlelog being overloaded.

Are you sure Battlelog Cache is turned on? Set it's Debug level to 4. Then you can see the errors from Battlelog Cache, if any.

 

Yes, it is failing getting the clan tag for that player. The fetch is taking too long. In Insane Limits, try changing your wait_timeout to 61 to see if that helps.
