[Insane Limits V0.9.8.0] [0.2.1.1 Reserve Slot for Server Starter]

It has come to my attention, mainly through fellow server owners and clan members, that it can be very difficult to start a server from empty. With this set of limits, I aim to reward anyone who help start my server with a reserved slot so that if and when they come back to the server when it is full, they do not have to queue to get in.

 

How it works:

 

It starts off by creating a temp list of players on the server when the server population is 4 or more.

 

If the server population drops below 4 the list is destroyed.

 

If the server population gets above 10 then it copies the first 6 players from the temp list that are still in the server to reserve list, and gives them a potential 5 days on the reserve slot but the slot is not given to them yet. The temp list is also destroyed at this point. These potential 5 days expire day by day.

 

If a player comes back within 5 days to help again then he is given another 5 days on top of whatever days he has left and is now rewarded with a reserve slot. There are some yell messages in here to but you can find them in the code.

 

This limit set has an expiry that if the player stop helping to start the server once they have a reserve slot then their name will be taken off the reserve slot after their days are up.

 

Limit #1 Add to Res

 

Set limit to evaluate OnJoin

 

Set first_check to this Code:

 

Code:

players.AddRange(team2.players);
if (team3.players.Count > 0) players.AddRange(team3.players);
if (team4.players.Count > 0) players.AddRange(team4.players);

int RSThresh = 5;    //When the player should get a reserve slot, when he has this number of days or more.
int numoftemps = 6;  //Number of players to be copied to reserve list
int RSCap = 30;      //Max number of reserve slot days
int rewarddays = 5;  //Number of days rewarded for helping to start the server once

Limit #2 Remove from Res

 

Set limit to evaluate OnIntervalServer, set evaluation_interval to 1800

 

Set first_check to this Code:

 

Code:

return false;

List #1 Res

 

Set list_1_name to Res

Set list_1_comparison to CaseSensitive

list_1_data is to contain your permanently reserved players names who do not have your clan tag

 

 

Some Bonus Code:

 

This is code I use to do some yelling on first spawn, first yell is "Type !rules for Server Rules"

Second yell is, if applicable, "You have a reserve slot for helping to start the server, it will expire in approximately? day(s) unless you help again"

 

Limit #3 Yell !Rules & Res

 

Set limit to evaluate OnSpawn

 

Set first_check to this Expression:

 

Code:

(  true  )

Set Secont_check to this Code:

 

Code:

if (limit.Activations(player.Name) > 1) return false;


//The thread code below allows me to delay the reward message on first spawn because directly below this text is a !rules yell. It then yells the reward message 5 seconds later

//simple yell to start for type !rules for server rules
plugin.SendPlayerYell(player.Name, "Type !rules for Server Rules" , 5);

// Closure bindings for the delegate
string port = server.Port;
string host = server.Host;
string yellMsg = null;
string dir = "Plugins\\BF3\\ReserveList_" +host+ "_" +port+ ".txt";
if(File.Exists(dir))
  {
  //read names on reserve list
  string namecheck = File.ReadAllText(dir);
  //plugin.ConsoleWrite(namecheck);
  //split names on Reserve list at ", "
  string[] resnames = Regex.Split(namecheck, ", ");
  //check each split name 
  foreach (string resname in resnames)
    {
    //split the name at ":" in to array, 1st is player name, 2nd is date last updated, 3rd can be ignored, was extra code in second check
    string[] rescont = resname.Split(':');
    if (rescont[0] == player.Name)
      {
      if (plugin.GetReservedSlotsList().Contains(rescont[0]))
        {
        int value = Convert.ToInt32(rescont[2]);
        yellMsg = "You have a reserve slot for helping to start the server, it will expire in approximately "+value+" day(s) unless you help again.";
        break;
        }
      }
    }
  }

// Thread delegate

ThreadStart AdminYell = delegate  {
//5 second delay before yelling the reward message
  Thread.Sleep(5*1000);
  plugin.SendPlayerYell(player.Name, yellMsg , 5);
  };

// Main thread code
if (yellMsg != null)
  {
  Thread t = new Thread(AdminYell);
  t.Start();
  Thread.Sleep(10);
  }
return false;

List #1 Res

 

Set list_1_name to Res

Set list_1_comparison to CaseSensitive

list_1_data is to contain a list of clan tags or soldier names that should be excluded from this reward, separated by commas, for example:

 

Code:

SLAG, SL4G, PapaCharlieNiner

Some Bonus Code:

 

This is code I use to do some yelling on first spawn, first yell is "Type !rules for Server Rules"

Second yell is, if applicable, "You have a reserve slot for helping to start the server, it will expire in approximately? day(s) unless you help again"

 

Limit #3 Yell !Rules & Res

 

Set limit to evaluate OnSpawn

 

Set first_check to this Expression:

 

Code:

(  true  )

Set Secont_check to this Code:

 

Code:

if (limit.Activations(player.Name) > 1) return false;

string path = "Logs/InsaneLimits/GUID.log";
if (!Directory.Exists(Path.GetDirectoryName(path))) Directory.CreateDirectory(Path.GetDirectoryName(path));

//The thread code below allows me to delay the reward message on first spawn because directly below this text is a !rules yell. It then yells the reward message 5 seconds later

//simple yell to start for type !rules for server rules

i love how you made clear notes in the code.

 

just a quick question, wouldn't a stand alone plugin be better ?

Probably but I don't know how to code. Any tips on were to start?

Ironically, doing anything with a timer is harder to do with a standalone plugin. Insane Limits has spoiled you all for that.

Many people will get added to the list, it is not limited to 6.

It could be incorporated in some way, if the player was ever to lose their slot the information saved in the reserve list would also go as their name is deleted, unless you just changed it to leave the names in the reserve list and just make it expire down to 0 and no lower. You would then need another stored value that just incremented every time they helped.

 

Another thought was if they helped 5 times the get 2 days for each assist, when they have helped 10 times they get 5 days for each assist, and so on. The problem is then the incentive to help is diminished.

Change the bit in the code "SLAG" to be that of your clan tag, then just add your members manualy to the reserve list through procon

Is there a way to send to chat and yell for this limit. I want to make sure the person getting the reserved slot sees it. Sometimes a server message overrides the yell message. With both chat and yell the person would have a better chance to see it.

But, I was curious if there was a way to copy/paste this once it was setup on one of my servers... then to all of my other servers. Without having to manually set each of them up again? Or maybe I should be asking that in the main plugin thread.

I was able to figure out how to copy the settings from server to server; that can be disregarded.

 

I'm now curious about the Yell - I do believe that's still disabled/not working yet. Does anyone know the text to substitute to get a 'Say' to work?

Set second_check to this Code (this has most of the changes for handling clan tags and the "Res" list):

 

Code:

List<PlayerInfoInterface> players = new List<PlayerInfoInterface>();
players.AddRange(team1.players);
players.AddRange(team2.players);
if (team3.players.Count > 0) players.AddRange(team3.players);
if (team4.players.Count > 0) players.AddRange(team4.players);

string port = server.Port;
string host = server.Host;

foreach (PlayerInfoInterface p in players)
  {
  // New tag extraction code by PapaCharlie9
  String tag = p.Tag;

    if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(tag) && !p.StatsError) {
        // Maybe they are using [_-=]XXX[=-_]PlayerName[_-=]XXX[=-_] format
        Match tm = Regex.Match(p.Name, @"^[=_\-]*([^=_\-]{2,4})[=_\-]");
        if (tm.Success) {
            tag = tm.Groups[1].Value;
        } else {
            tm = Regex.Match(p.Name, @"[^=_\-][=_\-]([^=_\-]{2,4})[=_\-]*$");
            if (tm.Success) { 
                tag = tm.Groups[1].Value;
            } else {
                tag = String.Empty;
            }
        }
    }

//This stops your clan members and any other clan friends in the "Res" list being added to the reward and them possibly later getting removed

  if ((!plugin.isInList(p.Name, "Res")) && (!plugin.isInList(tag, "Res")))
    {
    string dir = "Plugins\\BF4\\TempList_" +host+ "_" +port+ ".txt";
    if(File.Exists(dir))
      {
      string namecheck = File.ReadAllText(dir);
//    plugin.ConsoleWrite(namecheck);
      string[] tempnames = Regex.Split(namecheck, ", ");
      string templastitem = tempnames[tempnames.Length - 1];
      //stops the names being repeatedly entered in to the list every time it runs
      foreach (string tempname in tempnames)
        {
        string[] tempcont = tempname.Split(':');
        if (tempcont[0] == p.Name)
          {
          break;
          }    
        else if (tempname == templastitem)
          {
          //add new player
          plugin.ConsoleWrite("Templist New Player: " + p.FullName);
          DateTime now = DateTime.Now;
          string datestring = now.ToString("d");
          string newlist = namecheck + ", " + p.Name +":" + datestring;
          File.WriteAllText(dir, newlist);
          }
        }
      }
    else
      {
      //create new temp file with player
      plugin.ConsoleWrite("Tempfile New Player: " + p.FullName);

Limit #2 Remove from Res

 

Set limit to evaluate OnIntervalServer, set evaluation_interval to 1800

 

Set first_check to this Code:

 

Code:

int RSOffThresh = 0;   //Remove Reserve slot on number of days
int RSDellThresh = -1; //Remove from Reserve list on number of days

string port = server.Port;
string host = server.Host;
string dir = "Plugins\\BF4\\ReserveList_" +host+ "_" +port+ ".txt";
if(File.Exists(dir))
  {
  string namecheck = File.ReadAllText(dir);
  plugin.ConsoleWrite(namecheck);
  string[] resnames = Regex.Split(namecheck, ", ");
  DateTime now = DateTime.Now;
  string datestring = now.ToString("d");
  foreach (string resname in resnames)
    {
    if (resname != "Blank")
      {
      string[] rescont = resname.Split(':');
      if (rescont[3] != datestring)
        {
        int value = Convert.ToInt32(rescont[2]);
        value--;
        if ((value == RSOffThresh) && (plugin.GetReservedSlotsList().Contains(rescont[0])))
          {
          plugin.ServerCommand("reservedSlotsList.remove", rescont[0]);
          plugin.ServerCommand("reservedSlotsList.save");
          plugin.ConsoleWrite(value.ToString());
          namecheck = namecheck.Replace(resname, rescont[0]+":"+ rescont[1] +":"+value.ToString()+":"+ datestring);
          plugin.ConsoleWrite(namecheck);
          File.WriteAllText(dir, namecheck);
          }
        else if(value <= RSDellThresh)
          {
          plugin.ConsoleWrite(value.ToString());
          namecheck = namecheck.Replace(", "+resname, "");
          plugin.ConsoleWrite(namecheck);
          File.WriteAllText(dir, namecheck);
          }
          else
          {
          plugin.ConsoleWrite(value.ToString());
          namecheck = namecheck.Replace(resname, rescont[0]+":"+ rescont[1] +":"+value.ToString() +":"+ datestring);
          plugin.ConsoleWrite(namecheck);
          File.WriteAllText(dir, namecheck);
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
return false;

"Res" list

 

Create a new list, call it Res, change the comparison to CaseSensitive, add a list of clan tags or soldier names that should be excluded from this reward, separated by commas, for example:

 

Code:

SLAG, PapaCharlieNiner, IAF

Some Bonus Code:

 

This is code I use to do some yelling on first spawn, first yell is "Type !rules for Server Rules"

Second yell is, if applicable, "You have a reserve slot for helping to start the server, it will expire in approximately? day(s) unless you help again"

 

Limit #3 Yell !Rules & Res

 

Set limit to evaluate OnSpawn

 

Set first_check to this Expression:

 

Code:

(  true  )

Set second_check to this Code:

 

Code:

if (limit.Activations(player.Name) > 1) return false;


//The thread code below allows me to delay the reward message on first spawn because directly below this text is a !rules yell. It then yells the reward message 5 seconds later

//simple yell to start for type !rules for server rules
plugin.SendPlayerYell(player.Name, "Type !rules for Server Rules" , 5);

// Closure bindings for the delegate
string port = server.Port;
string host = server.Host;
string yellMsg = null;
string dir = "Plugins\\BF4\\ReserveList_" +host+ "_" +port+ ".txt";
if(File.Exists(dir))
  {
  //read names on reserve list
  string namecheck = File.ReadAllText(dir);
  //plugin.ConsoleWrite(namecheck);
  //split names on Reserve list at ", "
  string[] resnames = Regex.Split(namecheck, ", ");
  //check each split name 
  foreach (string resname in resnames)
    {
    //split the name at ":" in to array, 1st is player name, 2nd is date last updated, 3rd can be ignored, was extra code in second check
    string[] rescont = resname.Split(':');
    if (rescont[0] == player.Name)
      {
      if (plugin.GetReservedSlotsList().Contains(rescont[0]))
        {
        int value = Convert.ToInt32(rescont[2]);
        yellMsg = "You have a reserve slot for helping to start the server, it will expire in approximately "+value+" day(s) unless you help again.";
        break;
        }
      }
    }
  }

// Thread delegate

ThreadStart AdminYell = delegate  {
//5 second delay before yelling the reward message
  Thread.Sleep(5*1000);
  plugin.SendPlayerYell(player.Name, yellMsg , 5);
  };

// Main thread code
if (yellMsg != null)
  {
  Thread t = new Thread(AdminYell);
  t.Start();
  Thread.Sleep(10);
  }
return false;

Thank you supermillhouse for creating this reserve limit, and thank you Papa for your updates to make it work with my clan's tag system. The above modification now works like MULTIbalancer, where it will read the clan tags when they are part of the name itself. It's nice to have the res list include both the clan tags as well as non-clan member names.

 

Very nice work guys, especially to you supermillhouse for this idea and the limit's initial creation.

As of R12, there is no yell in BF4, so the bonus code doesn't do anything.

 

You can use the following limit instead to tell new players about the reserved slot reward:
