Yep, its now on the todo list.

 

Any other feature requests?

Do you mean an adaptive ping limit, so when the player count reaches the maximum the ping limit becomes lower?

0-48 Players = 400 ping limit

49-64 Players = 250 ping limit

 

 

That way you can leave high pingers in while starting a server.... but once it fills up, it starts kicking out high pingers.

Do people have thoughts on this?

Maybe as an option, have a list of "key-words" you can define in chat that can trigger it.

it means you have an old version of the lag manager and you can find the update in this forum, specifically here :showthread....%29-March-2013*

One request i would have, how about a nag message informing player who are over the limit that they will be kicked if their ping isn't decreased, maybe even with a counter of how many times they've been tested, how many tests left etc etc etc. (you get the idea)

 

Something like

 

%p = current ping

%pl = ping limit

%pc = ping checks

%tf = tests failed

 

Then it would be possible to do

 

Warning - your ping is currently "%p", please reduce it to "%pl" or lower. You have failed "%tf" out of "%pc" atttempts.

Do you have any donation button in the forum? Can't find it on the main post, I'd like to give a small (But hopefully good enough) contribution to your work.

 

I'm going to upload some funds to my paypal account next week so I can donate to your plugin!

I've tried restarting the layer and the client and it's still missing. Am I doing something wrong

That means you're running an old version, as HexaCanon said. Also means I need to change the message a bit.

I should be able do to something like that. Ingame messages about players being kicked is something I forgot to do also. I'll put that in the next version.

Thanks for that mate, i'll put it in the first post. It's actually located in the Details tab of all my plugins, but i'll post it here too.

How do you access your layer?

I notice several players have no ping which procon sees as -1, is there any way that an option could be included to kick for a -1 ping_.........we kick for no ping anyway but it would be nice if the plugin could do it

Is your layer hosted and you have access via ftp_?

 

My layer is hosted via ftp and this plugin would not work or show in the plugin list untill procon was updated, which my host provider had to do.

This is tricky. Players that join the server, can initially get a dodgy ping from the server, thus the -1. So kicking based on this would be a bit hazardous unfortunately.

This error is not even just caused by a player joining a server (thus not all connections being established yet), it can persist for an indefinite time and is an error or "exception" returned by the gameserver. I would strongly disadvise kicking for that.

Could a player cause his client to make the gameserver return this error?

 

I ask this as there have been several instances of a player getting kicked for high ping then returning a few minutes later with a constant no ping.

I'm wondering if you could, in a future update, add a time whitelist, so for example it won't kick high pingers from let's say 2:00AM to 9:00AM.

 

We get many foreign players after midnight, so it would be very helpful.

 

Not sure if this is easy to do as I never done a plugin, just a request in case you can add it, if it's too hard, then forget it, it's ok.
