PS: I have accepted your friend request.

Yes, the one that is in the bf4 folder. Delete your name out of it if it is there, the bit just after your name is the date when you were added and and a number between ":" and dates are the number of days you have left and the last date is used by remove from reserve slot limit.

Ok I deleted my name (And date and days left) from that text file, rebooting the layer to see if it helped.

That list contains information of players eligible for a reserve slot, you or your clan or permanently reserved players should never appear in the list, if they do it is probably because of a failed tag fetch. There is not much I can do to stop this, unless you whitelist by player name instead.

Okay, that worked, thank you!!

 

I'll keep it in mind in case it happens again, thanks for the help!

Questions

 

1 - Will the person get a yell immediately after they are added, or only on their next join of the server?

2 - How exactly does this get copied to the reservedlist.txt on the server layer and will it overwrite it or just add to it?

 

 

Edit: Can I change this:

 

//check if server population is more than 4

if ((totaltcount >= 4) && (totaltcount

//if server population is less than 4 then delete temp file if it exists

else if(totaltcount

to this,

//check if server population is more than 1

if ((totaltcount >= 1) && (totaltcount

//if server population is less than 1 then delete temp file if it exists

else if(totaltcount

without other issues?

 

Lastly, is there a way to avoid this:

gives them a potential 5 days on the reserve slot but the slot is not given to them yet.

and make it so they get a reserve slot immediately not if they log in again?

 

Thanks!

They get a yell when they are given a slot, so it would be the second time.

 

2 - How exactly does this get copied to the reservedlist.txt on the server layer and will it overwrite it or just add to it?

I'm assuming you mean the game server reserve list, it just adds to it.

Server commands:

plugin.ServerCommand("reservedSlotsList.add", rescount[0]);

plugin.ServerCommand("reservedSlotsList.save");

 

 

//check if server population is more than 4

if ((totaltcount >= 4) && (totaltcount

//if server population is less than 4 then delete temp file if it exists

else if(totaltcount

 

//check if server population is more than 1

if ((totaltcount >= 1) && (totaltcount

//if server population is less than 1 then delete temp file if it exists

else if(totaltcount

Cant see the point in doing this but there should be no problem.

 

get a reserve slot immediately not if they log in again?

This would be a rewrite so it is not quick and easy.

Thank you for your answers. This one still baffles me. We have been running this script for about the last day or two. Testing it with enough people that I can see it adding people to the ReserveList_IP_port.txt list. However when I check the actual reserveredslotlist.txt on the server side, it does not see any of these people. Does this script only work for servers that have both procon and the server, but separate them by a layer/port?

 

Our current GSP is NFO, but the Procon layer is with GameServers. So far it does add people that ReserveList_IP from above, but the names never actually get moved over to the server reserved list.

If they are not added it will say something about a no show, both should have a day quantity.

For whatever reason, people were getting added to the reservelist.txt on the procon layer, after 2 days of helping the server (as expected). But the names from that list didnt get transferred to the reservedlist.txt on the NFO (GSP layer) until the next day. I would guess something on the way of how NFO manages information from Procon. Works exactly how we want it to. Thank you.

 

Cheers.

I'm assuming you mean update the multibalancer's whitelist with the reserve slot people from this limit? Just double checking.

this is only possible if I can get this officially implemented

 

check out this post* and later ones.

 

I have modified my copy of insane limits to get it to work but I don't know how safe it is. The limit created would have to manage the entire list, as I don't believe it is possible to read the whitelist, only overwrite it. But this shouldn't be a problem.

I will put the limit up if PC9 update the plugin. If it comes to it I can send you my insane limits mod but I would rather have it done officially.

This one is likely to go on hold for the time being as there will be no introduction of the required command, and I do understand why. I will keep this idea in mind if I come to a point where I learn C# and go for a new plugin myself.

Try posting a request in the MULTIbalancer plugin thread for a way for other plugins to call MULTIbalancer and get/set the Whitelist. I've already added a way for plugins to set an end-of-round scramble, so why not this?

 

Then you can use the existing plugin.CallOtherPlugin() function in Insane Limits to call it.

 

I said I wouldn't extend Insane Limits, but I never said I wouldn't extend MULTIbalancer.

 

Getting info will be complicated. You'll have to provide me with the specification of the plugin to call back. You'll have to set up a function that other plugins can call and then pass the class name and method name. Then we need to agree on the JSON string to pass.

 

Setting is much easier. You just need to call either MULTIbalancer.UpdatePluginData or MULTIbalancer.UpdatePluginJSON with a new property name that I will have to add. Details are in post #2 of the MB thread.

Ok, this will at least get it working for multibalancer.

I have xpkillers stats logger using the current 1st spawn slot.

 

Many Thanks

//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.SendPlayerMessage(player.Name, "Type !rules for Server Rules");

// Closure bindings for the delegate

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[] rescount = resname.Split(':');
    if (rescount[0] == player.Name)
      {
      if (plugin.GetReservedSlotsList().Contains(rescount[0]))
        {
        int value = Convert.ToInt32(rescount[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);
  }

Looks like you didn't copy all the code when you pasted. Just try doing it again. Start over from limit #1 first_check and repaste all the code, then do the same for limit #1 second_check.
