I'll have to take a closer look at the new stats system next week.

There's evidence building that Battlelog is doing throttling for BF4. The HTTP error is different, 408 rather than 429, but the result is the same. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to rule out that it is something else in the network chain that is causing the timeout. Might be the hoster data center, ISP, or something else. I'm not seeing the problem myself, but users of MB are IL are.

not sure where to post about this issue, but I found out about mysql installation here, so here goes...

 

I run a computer on lan here to run my procon layer and mysql server, for a server I run.

(said computer also runs a BF3 server seeder account)

 

the last couple of updates for mysql I have noticed mysql using 400k - 500k of memory instead of 100k or so.. system I am running only has 2 gigs installed, so is a big hit...

 

after some research it appears that newer updates have turned on a "performance_schema" that is using the extra memory..

 

I found some settings that can be changed that have appeared to help...

 

the system I am running mysql on uses windows 7, so has a my.ini file.. you may need to find a .cnf file

 

the settings I found to change

 

max_connections = 10

key_buffer_size = 16K

max_allowed_packet = 1M

table_open_cache = 4

sort_buffer_size = 64K

read_buffer_size = 256K

read_rnd_buffer_size = 256K

net_buffer_length = 2K

thread_stack = 128K

TABLE_DEFINITION_CACHE = 400

 

the values above were found on the web at mysql and another blog or 2, I am not taking any credit except that they worked for me...

 

I had no luck changing the my.ini file manually and restarting mysql server, so I used WorkBench and changed the values there and did a restart...

 

you might be able to disable the "performance_schema" in workbench as I found an entry, but I had already manually made the other value changes, so the schema setting would be for you to TEST...

 

_gp?

See first post:

This plugin should be used by plugin-authors to query for Battlelog-stats. It uses a MySQL-Database to cache requests and thus allows reducing the load on Battlelog.

 

Whilst this caching-plugin will reduce the amount of requests made towards Battlelog, it doesn't solve the 'Too Many Requests' problem completely. The first version does not contain dynamic throtteling and re-fetching of failed requests yet.

In other words, Battlelog Cache is being used to cache the Battlelog statistics of the BF3 players that join your server making sure you don't hammer Battlelog and making plugins lag or even crash your Procon.

 

It's a plugin that is being used by several other plugins like InsaneLimits, CheatDetector & MultiBalancer

This plugin is only working for BF3.

I guess calling me a "lazybones" will definitely cause an instant update of the plugin, sounds legit :smile:

 

The need/benefit of the plugin did not rectify me spending time on it during the last uni semester (which obviously is more important :smile:)

You can always find time to do it! At least not in a hurry! You just find an excuse.

And you decide that is the case? Like I said: learn to program it yourself, we're not in a hurry. You just found an excuse not to help the community out. Be that man, step up to the plate! Instead you chose to whine and insult our staff. You earned some really negative points here brother!

 

PS:

Maybe your name explains enough.... HODOR!

Or.... you can be the one that takes someone (or the community) on his back, and at least DO something himself.

 

PPS: yes, you managed to piss me off a bit. Not many people here have managed to do so. So congrats to you Sir.

I could always find time to do it, yes. I could also always find time to do it and still decide not to because I either don't feel like it or have something else to do that's more important (or even if it isn't: something I feel like doing).

 

To clarify: just because I developed a plugin for BF3 doesn't mean it will be updated forever and adopted for every game ever being released. Furthermore, support for BF4 was never really announced for this plugin.

As nearly all plugin developers, I have decided to support the community in my spare time, for free, lending my knowledge and work to you guys at no extra cost. Beside from working on Procon itself too (which is also unpaid work), I do have a social life, a job and am currently in the process of finishing my Bachelor degree. For this reason, there are many, many other things I have to (or want to) do beside making sure all plugins are up-to-date. If you're willing to offer me a full-time paid contract to update this plugin for you, please feel free to contact me via PM for salary negotiations :smile:

I guess you should refrain from simply calling devs in this community lazy just because they don't do exactly what you would like them too. As EB mentioned: if this plugin is as important to you, feel free to pick up development, throw in suggestions and patches or help out otherwise. If that's nothing for you, I would suggest waiting for updates to be released or paying willing devs to create them for you.

 

Consider this a warning, posts similar to this will not be tolerated from now on.

This is not always the case, just with some players.

Anyone else has the same problem?

That's normal. For some accounts who have multiple soldiers on their profile, the plugin doesn't know which ones to pick.

Look at the Battlelog pages of those "playernames" and you will see they probably have:

 

1. No stats / New account

2. Multiple Soldiers

Its going to be a problem on our limited host server. What can we do ?

Entries that are older can be deleted, ones for players that are nolonger regulars in the server.

To be honest, you could even flush your whole database table. There's nothing important enough to store it forever, and even if the player is still active on your server, the plugin will simply perform one more request to get his current stats again.

    • EZRCON Update (9/4/2021)

      Prophet731 posted a topic in News,

      Game Server Hosting:

      We're happy to announce that EZRCON will branch out into the game server provider scene. This is a big step for us so please having patience if something doesn't go right in this area. Now, what makes us different compared to other providers? Well, we're going with the idea of having a scaleable server hosting and providing more control in how you set up your server. For example, in Minecraft, you have the ability to control how many CPU cores you wish your server to have access to, how much RAM you want to use, how much disk space you want to use. This type of control can't be offered in a single service package so you're able to configure a custom package the way you want it.

      You can see all the available games here. Currently, we have the following games available.

      Valheim (From $1.50 USD)


      Rust (From $3.20 USD)


      Minecraft (Basic) (From $4.00 USD)


      Call of Duty 4X (From $7.00 USD)


      OpenTTD (From $4.00 USD)


      Squad (From $9.00 USD)


      Insurgency: Sandstorm (From $6.40 USD)


      Changes to US-East:

      Starting in January 2022, we will be moving to a different provider that has better support, better infrastructure, and better connectivity. We've noticed that the connection/routes to this location are not ideal and it's been hard getting support to correct this. Our contract for our two servers ends in March/April respectively. If you currently have servers in this location you will be migrated over to the new provider. We'll have more details when the time comes closer to January. The new location for this change will be based out of Atlanta, GA. If you have any questions/concerns please open a ticket and we'll do our best to answer them.

    • EZRCON Update 5/13/2021

      Prophet731 posted a topic in News,

      Hello All,

      I wanted to give an update to how EZRCON is doing. As of today we have 56 active customers using the services offered. I'm glad its doing so well and it hasn't been 1 year yet. To those that have services with EZRCON, I hope the service is doing well and if not please let us know so that we can improve it where possible. We've done quite a few changes behind the scenes to improve the performance hopefully. 

      We'll be launching a new location for hosting procon layers in either Los Angeles, USA or Chicago, IL. Still being decided on where the placement should be but these two locations are not set in stone yet. We would like to get feedback on where we should have a new location for hosting the Procon Layers, which you can do by replying to this topic. A poll will be created where people can vote on which location they would like to see.

      We're also looking for some suggestions on what else you would like to see for hosting provider options. So please let us know your thoughts on this matter.

    • Procon, Database & BFACP Hosting

      Prophet731 posted a topic in News,

      I wanted I let you know that I am starting to build out the foundation for the hosting services that I talked about here. The pricing model I was originally going for wasn't going to be suitable for how I want to build it. So instead I decided to offer each service as it's own product instead of a package deal. In the future, hopefully, I will be able to do this and offer discounts to those that choose it.

      Here is how the pricing is laid out for each service as well as information about each. This is as of 7/12/2020.

      Single MySQL database (up to 30 GB) is $10 USD per month.



      If you go over the 30 GB usage for the database then each additional gigabyte is charged at $0.10 USD each billing cycle. If you're under 30GB you don't need to worry about this.


      Databases are replicated across 3 zones (regions) for redundancy. One (1) on the east coast of the USA, One (1) in Frankfurt, and One (1) in Singapore. Depending on the demand, this would grow to more regions.


      Databases will also be backed up daily and retained for 7 days.




      Procon Layer will be $2 USD per month.


      Each layer will only allow one (1) game server connection. The reason behind this is for performance.


      Each layer will also come with all available plugins installed by default. This is to help facilitate faster deployments and get you up and running quickly.


      Each layer will automatically restart if Procon crashes. 


      Each layer will also automatically restart daily at midnight to make sure it stays in tip-top shape.


      Custom plugins can be installed by submitting a support ticket.




      Battlefield Admin Control Panel (BFACP) will be $5 USD per month


      As I am still working on building version 3 of the software, I will be installing the last version I did. Once I complete version 3 it will automatically be upgraded for you.





      All these services will be managed by me so you don't have to worry about the technical side of things to get up and going.

      If you would like to see how much it would cost for the services, I made a calculator that you can use. It can be found here https://ezrcon.com/calculator.html

      I have pushed out a new minor release which updates the geodata pull (flags in the playerlisting). This should be way more accurate now. As always, please let me know if any problems show up.
