And make sure you have 1.4.1.5 on both your layer and your local client. Plugin should be installed on your layer, of course.

 

EDIT: There are 18 servers currently using 1.4.1.5 and only 3 of them are my test servers, so other people are successfully loading it.

10 of those are mine. No known issues so far. Just fyi.

This will make it easier for the regular user, to use limits, and make the plugin more popular! (if that's possible )

 

Reason for suggesting this, is because it is so time consuming to create the same limit on 6 different layers,

and if you have a lot of limits, before you know it, the whole day disappeared.

 

Yes i know you can save into the InsaneLimits_***.**.**.**_*****.conf, and import it to the next layer, BUT none of the servers contain the same limits.

 

If there is a easier way of doing this, please let me know.

I share your pain. That wish is already on the list:

If it were easy it would be done already, but unfortunately, is very hard to get right.

I'm sure I need a configuration file as I've seen many of you talk about one however, I have no clue or instructions on how to create this config file?

 

Any help getting this running would be great as everyone recommends this plugin to run a pistols/knives only server on. O_o

Where exactly, which Procon folder, did you install InsaneLimits.cs into?

 

Did you restart Procon on your layer host?

Yep, on the to-do list.

What exactly do you mean by "list editor"? I just created a new custom list and edited the comma separated values in it on a BF3 connection, so working fine for me.

I am an idiot, and blind, pay no mind. The different use? settings were not the same between instances.

I would like to run a Hardcore Infantry only server.

 

The infantry only vars seems to always put the server into a non hardcore setting.

 

Is it possible to have a hardcore infantry only server?

Probably not, particularly since R21. I've never tried it myself, so I don't know for sure.

 

You can make a Custom server that has combined HC and Inf settings, but I don't think it is possible to have Battlelog show your server as Hardcore and also disable vehicle spawns.

 

The best you can do is set vehicleSpawnDelay at the Ranked maximum of 400. Higher values, like 9999, might work without changing your server to Custom, but if it works now, it might not work in some future patch.

 

Of course, you can also create a limit that punishes any kills with Death and just spambot to stay out of vehicles.

I was thinking of trying setting the game to infantry only then setting it to hardcore after the 1st player spawns. I take it that wouldn't work then?

 

Many Thanks

That might work for a while, until some patch plugs that loophole like they did with vehicles.

I have one that sets the gamecounter to 300 at roundover then hardcore after 1st spawn. I've just tried tweaking it and there is alot of stuff there I dont understand LOL.

No, sorry. The best you can do is notice that every kill someone makes is with "Death" and they have no deaths themselves. But chopper or jets could have that too, or even a tank for that matter, for small numbers of K and D.

I had to look-up what !get does, I've never used that myself ...

 

The !get and !set commands refer to plugin variables, like use_slow_weapon_stats or debug_level. It doesn't apply to the game server.

 

BTW, server.TimeUp is in seconds.

would be nice to get player or server variables from console instead of writing a code each time.

 

possible wishlist ?

Good idea.

 

In the mean time, what I do is always have a "test" limit handy. It's an OnIntervalServer set to 10 seconds and first_check Code. I keep it Disabled, but when I need to see something, I just change the one or two lines of first_check code.

 

To show server properties, I change the code to this:

 

Code:

plugin.ConsoleWrite("server.TimeUp: " + server.TimeUp);

To show player properties for a specific player, I change the code to this:

 

Code:

PlayerInfoInterface p = plugin.GetPlayer("PlayersNameExactlySpelt", false);
plugin.ConsoleWrite("PlayersNameExactlySpelt Kdr: " + p.Kdr);

I only have to wait at most 10 seconds after enabling to see the value. If the server is full or very active (not between rounds), the test code can go into OnSpawn instead, which happens multiple times a second.

Are you running your layer as the full Procon.exe GUI? If so, it might not be the plugins that are the issue. See here:

 

showthread....he-ProCon-Guys*

 

If you are running your layer as Procon.console.exe or as a Windows Service, do this:

 

* Shut down the layer

 

* Rename (or delete) procon/DEBUG.txt, the idea is to have no DEBUG.txt file so that you start with a clean slate

 

* Restart the layer with all your plugins enabled

 

* Run until you crash the layer

 

What's in the DEBUG.txt file now? That will give a clue about what plugin, if indeed it is a plugin, that is crashing the layer.

My layer is on fragnet.net. I am just contacting them to get access to the file. I take it the cache plugin doesn't work for bf4?

Any thoughts, player count is 64, 1 server?

It still sounds like the full Procon.exe GUI issue I linked to. Can you find out from Fragnet how they run a layer? Is it the full Procon.exe or something else?

 

In the mean time, if you think it has to do with Battlelog fetching, you can try enabling MB first (leave IL disabled), let it fetch everybody, then enable IL. You can also try lowering the fetch rate in MB with Maximum Request Rate.

They are using the console version, they just got back to me. Will test out your suggestion, is the MB settings for 10 a second, or batches of 10 for how long?

Batches per 20 seconds, so a lower number is a lower rate.
